Aim: To assess the relationships of diabetes and albuminuria with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease outcomes in a population without prior cardiovascular disease using data from the Darwin Region Urban Indigenous Diabetes (DRUID) study.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 706 participants (aged 15-81 years, 68% women) without prior cardiovascular disease who underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. Deaths and fatal or non-fatal cardiovascular disease were determined over 7 years, and hazard ratios with 95% CIs and population attributable risks were estimated for baseline glycaemia and albuminuria.
Results: Compared with normoglycaemia and after adjustment for age, sex, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and smoking, known diabetes was associated with an adjusted hazard ratio of 4.8 (95% CI 1.5-14.7) for all-cause mortality and 5.6 (95% CI 2.1-15.2) for cardiovascular disease. Compared with normoalbuminuria, the respective adjusted risks for macroalbuminuria were 10.9 (95% CI 3.7-32.1) and 3.9 (95% CI 1.4-10.8). The Adjusted all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease estimated population attributable risks for diabetes were 27% and 32%, and for albuminuria they were 32% and 21%, respectively.
Conclusions: In our study population, the burden of mortality and cardiovascular disease was largely driven by diabetes and albuminuria. This finding on the influence of diabetes and albuminuria is consistent with reports in other high-risk Indigenous populations and should be better reflected in risk scores and intervention programmes.

Brian Terry's brother says Dems, Nadler 'turned their back on an American hero' to protect Eric Holder
By Greg Norman | Fox News
Brother of slain Border Patrol agent says Rep. Jerry Nadler 'turned his back on an American hero'
Kent Terry says Democrats turned their back on his brother to protect former Attorney General Eric Holder after he failed to produce documents from operation Fast and Furious.
The brother of slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry said Democrats like Rep. Jerry Nadler -- who is leading the charge to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt – "turned their back on an American hero" years ago to protect Obama administration official Eric Holder.
Kent Terry's comments on "Fox & Friends" Friday come as the House is debating whether to hold Barr in contempt over his handling of the Mueller report's release.
Holder, the last attorney general voted to be held in contempt by the House, was done so for refusing to hand over documents related to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, where Justice Department officials tracked thousands of guns smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border but did nothing to stop them.
Brian Terry's death in 2010 brought that scandal into the national spotlight as two guns tied to it were found at the scene of his murder.
NADLER ONCE SLAMMED HOLDER CONTEMPT VOTE, NOW LEADS CHARGE AGAINST BARR
"They turned their back on an American hero to protect Eric Holder," Kent Terry told 'Fox & Friends', when asked if what is happening to Barr now gave him flashbacks to how lawmakers dealt with Holder. "It's sickening. It's just sad that they are dishonoring my brother that way."
Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sang a different tune about Holder, tweeting at the time that the campaign against him was a "shameful, politically-motivated GOP vote" and participated in a walkout with more than 100 other Democrats.
'Fox & Friends' host Steve Doocy also pointed out the "irony" of the current situation – that Barr is being criticized for not providing an unredacted copy of the Muller report, while Kent Terry is seeking an unredacted version of the Fast and Furious file.
"That's all I've been asking [for] since day one and I've been getting a runaround, mostly from the Democratic side than the Republican side," he said. "You got people like Grassley, Issa, Chaffetz and Gowdy that were hanging in there fighting for my family and going up against these kids on the Democratic side."

Led by Dr. Steve Tullius, a leading pediatric chiropractor, educator, communicator and social media specialist of today.
If you are a pediatric chiropractor or looking to become one and want to make a huge difference in the lives of thousands of children and families, then you need to develop systems, strategies and the communication skills to help you reach those people and provide care to them.
Far too often, talented chiropractors never realize their full potential because they lack the proper systems, communications and tools to attract those they are wanting to serve.
You have a passion to care for children and families to positively impact their health, quality of life and futures.
You know how huge an impact your care can make and you also know how detrimental subluxation is in their lives. But, you struggle with how to get those people into your office, how to communicate the need and value of chiropractic care for children and how to develop the skills, tools and confidence to make the appropriate recommendations.
Or, you are doing well, but you know that you can do so much more. Maybe you are already seeing 25% kids but want to take that over 50%. This workshop will show you how.
Listen, I've been there. I've experienced all of those stages and I can help you!
Attaining the pediatric, family-focused practice of your dreams that you run and that does not run you is not only possible, it is inevitable for anyone who follows the systems and strategies I'm going to lay out.
My upcoming Pediatric Family Practice Workshops will take place in Atlanta, GA on Friday, Jan. 26th from 5 pm to 9 pm and Saturday, Jan. 27th from 10 am to 6 pm at Friends and Family Chiropractic in Marietta.
You will be in a room with other committed pediatric chiropractors and students, all of whom have a big vision of reaching more kids and families and growing their practices.
You will also have me, Dr. Steve Tullius, working with you over the course of the weekend to make sure you have everything you need to be successful when you get back on Monday.
This is not one of those events where you get lost in the crowd. I am limiting registration to only 20 spaces to keep it intimate and impactful and full of amazing value.
We will even be hosting a special dinner on Saturday for all of the attendees, which will give you the opportunity to make sure you leave the event with all of your questions answered and with a plan for success going forward!
This workshop will sell out as I am limiting it to 20 spots!
We are NOT adding seats to this one, so you really need to get on this!
The registration rate for the workshop is only $595 per doctor and $295 for students. That's a super low fee considering the amount of information you will take back and be able to use to make many times that amount. Believe me, you will agree that the content far exceeds the cost.
In fact, my next workshops will be going up so delaying now will cost you more later.
I'm not worried about this selling out. It is going to sell out for sure.
I am more worried about you missing out on this opportunity!

Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College: 1933 - 1957 edited by Helen Molesworth, with Ruth Erickson
Although tucked away in the rural mountains of North Carolina and only in operation from 1933 until 1957, Black Mountain College remains the preeminent experimental arts educational institution founded in the United States during the last century. Leap Before You Look is the most recent publication to explore and celebrate the invaluable role the institution played both in terms of the arts and the world of education, along with how the inspired manner in which the school brought the two together was foundational to its structure.
Individual artists associated with the school appear as major figures within the highest echelons of the creative arts. Faculty and students alike excelled in numerous disciplines from painting to music, poetry to weaving, pottery to dance, drama to photography. The list of the major artistic constellations out of which came but a sampling of the associated individuals involved with the school over the years include: Bauhaus in Germany (Josef and Anni Albers, Marguerite Wildenhain, and Xanti Schawinsky), Abstract Expressionism in New York City (Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, and Robert Motherwell), and what has been referred to as the Black Mountain School of Poetry (Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, and Charles Olson). Historical events that occurred on campus include both the failure of Buckminster Fuller's "Supine Dome," composed of single venetian-blind remnant strips connected together, which simply collapsed, and his early successful geodesic dome models, as well as the infamous August evening 1952 performance of John Cage's Theater Piece, No. 1, generally recognized as the first "happening" of all time, involving impromptu performance and artistic exhibition by some half-dozen collaborators. The school was also the first institution of higher education in the Southern US to break racial barriers of segregation.
As the exhibition catalog for the show of the same title, which opened this fall at the ICA in Boston and will be traveling next to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Leap Before You Look is an oversized treasure trove of exquisite reproductions of visual art and an abundant number of photographs, along with writings by no fewer than twenty-two contributors. This is by far the most extravagantly published version of the school's history. The quality of photographs and photographic reproductions (an impressively high number of them appear in color and/or large size, often given a full page to spread across), combined with the diverse number of voices telling the story, immediately set it apart from the two most obvious precursors, Black Mountain College: Experiment in Art (2003), edited by Vincent Katz, and The Arts at Black Mountain College (1987) by Mary Emma Harris. Though the high quality of these two previous books should not be overlooked, given Katz's excellent curatorial work along with his invaluable accompanying essay, and the fact that Harris's book was the first to tackle the subject from such a perspective.
Indeed, at first glance it would appear little to nothing new is revealed here. All essential elements of the story have been covered in the previous surveys mentioned. In fact, many entries cite either Harris or Katz multiple times, especially Harris. Yet the inspired arrangement and organization of the numerous and diversely authored entries do retell the story in a fresh manner. Following a meaty historical overview, "Imaginary Landscape" by Helen Molesworth -- which nonetheless proves closely attuned to offering insights of accomplishments and contributions at the individual artist level -- there are in general two complimentary styles of entries: those slightly lengthier that cover a particular group or period (e.g. "Musical Cosmopolitans at Black Mountain College: John Cage, Lou Harrison, and Stefan Wolpe" by Brigid Cohen, or "Summer Session 1948" by Eva D�az) and shorter ones focused upon a particular student or faculty artist along with a specific work of art (e.g. "Jacob Lawrence: Watchmaker" by Bryan Barcena or "Robert Duncan: 'The Song of the Borderguard'" by Steve Evans). The result forms a sort of visual encyclopedia of Black Mountain unlike any other. Although some entries, when encountered individually, may appear rather slight, the effect of the whole gathering is quite becoming.
As far as offering fresh insight, perhaps not too surprisingly, given the high reproduction quality of its images, Look Before You Leap is arguably strongest when it comes to its representation and utilization of photography. Every photograph is not only reproduced in significant size, including several familiar ones larger than in any previous publication, but the opening pages present a series of full-page black-and-white images of students in the midst of various activities, both at work and at study or practice, immediately acclimating readers to the active environment of the campus. It has the feel of a classic school yearbook.
In addition, Brenda Danilowitz's "Josef and Anni Albers: Mexico and Modernity" reproduces several striking shots Josef Albers took of the Pyramid of Tenayuca, including an outstanding opening full two-page spread, along with images of Monte Alb�n. Danilowitz's commentary explores the probable influence these structures played upon the art practices of both the Alberses. Elsewhere a two-page series of Kodachrome color slides by Josef Albers present a Dada-esque cornucopia of "Black Mountain College students and faculty in costume for Valentine's Day Ball, 1940." Then, too, there are newly informative, to this reviewer at least, entries such as "There is Another Way: Hazel Larsen Archer, Photographer, Educator" by Alice Sebrell, which strongly presents not only her photographs of artists, students, and buildings at Black Mountain, but also argues for Archer's role as a leading figure around the school.
The path of Archer's varied involvement at Black Mountain is demonstrative of how immersive the educational institution became for a number of individuals. Sebrell describes her developing role after a short initial visit in 1944:
Larsen returned in 1945, staying for nine years altogether, first as a student, then as a teacher of photography. Deeply impacted by the teaching of Josef Albers and R. Buckminster Fuller, she also studied with Lyonel Feininger, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Beaumont and Nancy Newhall (who loaned her a Leica camera), Josef Breitenbach, Walter Gropius, Leo Lionni, and Alvin Lustig. From 1950 to 1953, she was a key administrator at the college, first as registrar, then as treasurer. She also sat on the Board of Fellows. From the time of Larsen's arrival in 1944 until Albers's departure in 1949, Albers helped her to "learn to see" through his classes in color, design, and mati�re studies.
This rich cross-discipline line of influence, as Larsen moves from the role of student to teacher, was quite common over the years with both faculty and students often coming and going over the course of several years. The community at the school was always relatively small, encouraging close-knit camaraderie and fluidity of assigned roles. There were also times when spouses of faculty became students and/or served outright as faculty themselves. "Stowaways" by Eva D�az traces this near tradition of co-spousal involvement, from the school's very beginning with the Alberses, continuing over the years to include painters Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence and Jacob Lawrence, along with Elaine and Willem de Kooning and a host of other couples. In the case of 1950s pottery instructors Karen Karnes and David Weinrib, Jenni Sorkin details the blatant sexism this, at times, involved: "Consistent with the era's brazen gender discrimination, the college paid Weinrib the salary during their two years at Black Mountain, even though Karnes was the appointed instructor."
Black Mountain was founded by scholar John Andrew Rice, whose radical educational ideas had led to his being fired in 1933 from conservative-leaning Rollins College in Florida. Subsequent investigation turned up no activities worth causing his dismissal, but he was long gone, along with a portion of the faculty and a number of students who all left on their own in a show of support for Rice. With the encouragement of his self-exiled supporters in need of a new college, Rice established Black Mountain College, which was at first housed "on the grounds of a Christian summer camp called the Blue Ridge Assembly in North Carolina," whose grounds and buildings were only used during the summer. From the beginning, faculty and students shared equal voice in developing the curriculum and maintaining the school's financial integrity. Molesworth describes the communal atmosphere of the early years:
The faculty decided not to have a board of trustees, meaning that they and the students effectively owned the school. Given the meager funds, several faculty members took room and board as their sole compensation. Decisions were made in the Quaker meeting style, meaning the community achieved consensus on an issue by speaking in turn and elected representatives subsequently implemented those decisions. It was determined that the students and faculty would live and eat together. They would serve one another meals, and students would work in the kitchen and on the grounds to offset their tuition. They were to be a community as much as they were to be a school. They meant to exemplify progressive education's most prominent theorist and advocate John Dewey's mantra "learning by doing." It was a grand experiment.
The "grand experiment" quickly grew from there. Another plot of land was located nearby around Lake Eden, with a scattering of older cabins and outbuildings, which were quickly renovated. While an architectural plan for an entire campus of new buildings by former Bauhaus members Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer was finally deemed unrealizable due to lack of funds, it led to construction of the Studies Building, which remained a recognizable landmark of the campus. During what may be seen as the school's zenith years in terms of financial stability, it benefitted in large part from tuition received from students attending on the GI Bill.
Despite the collaborative and open dialogue between faculty and students, gossip and inter-factional rivalry were always present at the school. In 1940, this led to Rice's departure for Yale. Albers took over as rector of the school for about a decade, until he too was forced out and poet Charles Olson was left in charge throughout the final years. Leap Before You Look doesn't spend much time dwelling on the various rivalries that came and went. The final section of Molesworth's opening essay carries the subtitle "Gossip" and more or less acknowledges it's best such matters be left to the well-trodden previous histories of the school, such as Martin Duberman's Black Mountain: An Exploration in Community (1972) and the more personal Black Mountain Days by Michael Rumaker (2003). The closing entry here, Gloria Sutton's "Intentional Communities," instead looks out from the mountain campus to Gate Hill Co-op in Upstate New York and Pond Farm in Northern California, two ongoing communities tangentially tied to and inspired by Black Mountain.
A myth of its own making, Black Mountain College endures.

Fats are an imperative supplement of our body. The body can't work legitimately in the event that it won't be provided with satisfactory fats and numerous nutrients and minerals ingestion will be frustrated, however, the body needs great quality fats and no trans fats, which is known to expand the danger of creating coronary illness or having a stroke over a lifetime. This is a direct result of trans fat stops up the corridors by raising terrible cholesterol levels (LDL) and bringing down great cholesterol levels (HDL).
A moderate measure of activity keeps the heart work at ideal dimensions by keeping off the pointless fats around the organs that make them harder to work. Get somewhere around 30 minutes of moderate exercise each day, or if nothing else on generally days. Standard high-impact exercise, for example, energetic strolling, bicycle riding, stair climbing, swimming, bouncing rope, high-intensity aerobics, and moving keeps your heart fit and solid.

Colorado Springs 6th Grader helps raise money, items for homeless youth
A Colorado Springs sixth-grader from Mountain Song Community spend her Sunday donating items they gathered to help those experiencing homelessness in our Community.(KKTV)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - A Colorado Springs sixth-grader from Mountain Song Community spent her Sunday donating items they gathered to help those experiencing homelessness in our community.
Back in December, someone decided the school's garden would be a good place to spend the night and make a small fire. The next morning the school found remnants of the fire and some trash in the area but there was no real damage done to the garden.
"The whole story behind it was we had someone experiencing homelessness stayed overnight in our little garden and we were proud that it was a very welcoming place but they had a small fire and that was a concern for us and when we were cleaning up the remnants of the fire all of the six graders were very very focused on the fire and how close it was to the garden beds and things like that," says Matt Thomas, the agricultural arts teacher at Mountain Song Community School.
That's when Jolena, said, "This is so sad! Maybe we could do a fundraiser to help the homeless?" and the school jumped into action. Her class was able to raise $120.19 along with several other tangible items for the non-profit organization, The Place.
"She asked us point-blank can we do a fundraiser to support the homeless in our community and I thought about it and said why not?" said Thomas. "We have three microwaves a toaster a whole lot of toiletries, shaving cream, shampoos. We have little tide pods and laundry detergent, a lot of non-perishable food, Some yoga mats, and tennis rackets. I even saw some headphones in there, some brand new snow gloves. Just really anything that the place has a need for we tried to find it" said Thomas.
"One day while I came to school, I walked on the stairs, because that's where the middle school, is and there was just all the stuff there like microwaves and yoga mats. And it was so crazy it was like on a bench there were so many things, like paper towels and Windex, and yoga mats. It was just awesome!" said Jolena.

The Place tells 11 News they are thankful for donations like these that help keep them up and running to help young people in the community. "Jolena just made a huge difference in one person's life for that day," says Paige Dubman, from The Place. "She just wants people to have a place to stay and warm food to eat and it's pretty incredible because the amount of money raised is right around the mark of what it cost for one person to stay in our shelter for one day".
Jolena, and her teacher, hope stepping up to make a difference in the community makes a ripple effect in this community and plans to do it again.
"It's important because I think that everyone deserves a warm place and food on their table every day and every night," says Jolena. "Just thinking about it right now just gives me goosebumps and I did the moment too," says Thomas. "I can say without a doubt, the impact of Jolena's actions today had a huge impact on our school. It was just so impressive watching all of those kids bring in pocket change and throw it in a jar, and to see the sixth graders watch their moms and dads bring in grocery bags filled with all sorts of things to be given away. It had a huge ripple of fact within our small community".


If you're ready for a day of active play, then check out these Sneakers for boys that are lightweight, flexible and feature a gripping rubber outsole that will keep feet comfortable and safe.
These were true to size and although dressy, my son is very comfortable in them. We have worn them a lot and they have stayed in really good condition! Highly recommend!
I've been buying see Kai run shoes for 7 years now and my complaint is always the same. The insoles do not withstand regular wear. They always curl up on the sides and disintegrate at the toe far before the rest of the shoe is worn out. I continue to buy them only when on sale as spending <$30 is more palatable than paying >$50 for a shoe that won't last long. The sole on the Dane shoe is flimsy, which is different from the other shoes I have bought. The Velcro on all skr shoes are problematic, as well, always giving out before the shoe has been outgrown. I have also had to stitch up part of the strap to keep them wearable. Too much for an expensive shoe.
While the shoe itself looks great, the assembly leaves something to be desired. The velcro strap at the top of the shoe is already peeling away from the body of the shoe. I doubt these shoes will last more than a couple of months.
These shoes are AWESOME! My 4 yr old son had the red and black pair and he loved them. So cute. Super super cute. I want to get him one of the blue pairs next.
These shoes are so cute and well made. My son gets complimented on them all the time!


Bonus: What the heck, just for fun let's make it three views of the front of the RMC. This one looks to have been taken not long after it opened.
Extra Bonus: Speaking of opening day, here's the move in. I don't recognize either guy or the piece of furniture.
Looks like a standard black filing cabinet.
It was definitely there in the late '60s; I remember attending at least one wedding there, and we (Fondren staff) often walked over to Willie's for lunch. The basement of the bookstore was one of my favorite places to hang out.
One thing I always enjoyed about the RMC and its landscaping is that the trees in the courtyard and behind the Chapel were part of the original tree plantings when the campus was developed. You can see them rising up over the offices in the older photos. The way they fit into the original landscape plan can be seen in the aerial photo in the post "Trees, or Lack Thereof". And I proposed to my wife Linda under the one closest to the bell tower.
Nice red filter work on the one taken after opening. The trees look really nice, too.
Dating your first shot, the key element is the amount of bicycle parking by the then-front door. The extra parking was not there in 1979, but I think it appeared after I graduated in 1982. I think I see the original block of 6(?) black units that were flat steel with two projecting flat arms, that I parked in many a time while working at KTRU in the basement. The additional parking (to the left) might be a silver "toaster" rack.
Deborah, that is absolutely brilliant. I would have guessed that it was impossible to date that picture. I am filled with glee!


The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland hosted an Essential safeguarding good practice seminar in May 2018, which was attended by over 90 charity representatives.
Agreed standards and good practice guidance for working with children and young people is available via Volunteer Now's website, see, Keeping Children Safe: Our Duty to Care. For agreed standards and good practice guidance on working with adults at risk see, Keeping Adults Safe: A shared responsibility. Publications include individual self-assessment checklists to help your organisation assess where it is in relation to safeguarding standards. These checklists will help your organisation identify criteria which are already being met and those that require further development.
Volunteer Now has also developed a tool to help organisations working with both children and adults at risk, to develop/review their policy and procedures. This checklist contains nine safeguarding standards that are intended to be the minimum standards of practice in organisations that are working with all vulnerable groups and who wish to develop one overarching safeguarding policy: Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk: Policy standards.
The three UK disclosure services and ACRO have drawn up the below to help guide organisations in deciding whether (a) they need to obtain a criminal record check as part of the recruitment process and (b) if so, the organisation they should go to obtain such a check.

A Queen Anne Mahogany Tray Top Tea Table with Slipper Feet, Attributed to the Goddard/Townsend School, Newport, RI, c. 1760
Although many colonial cities produced their versions of the Queen Anne tray top tea table form with regional slipper foot modeling, Newport's example is considered the best of the form, and this is the quintessential Newport model. This tea table retains all its original parts including the applied tray top moldings, which are often lacking. There are no breaks or alterations, and the table retains all its original charm.
Another example of this form can be found in the Bayou Bend Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, see below and compare. This form is "classic Newport" with many documented examples. (See Master Craftsmen of Newport, Michael Moses, pgs. 45 & 73).
A second example is illustrated in The Arts & Crafts of Newport, RI, Ralph Carpenter, Jr. (see attached).
Also of interest are two labels found on the underside of the table with names written in an antique hand. The first says "To / E-- O. Greenleaf" and the second names "Lizzie D. M--ick" (dashes represent undecipherable letters). All we can say is that, as antiquarians, the labels are quite old and although the provenance is not fully known, these do appear to be an early and valid record.

Part of the new tax law signed at the end of 2017 called for an end starting with orders of alimony entered after December 31, 2018. They will no longer be tax deductible to the payor of alimony or taxable to the recipient. For an appointment as to whether or not this effects your situation, call me at (302) 655-0900..
Under Delaware Law, to appropriately request alimony, it must be claimed prior to the Divorce, whether in the Divorce Petition, the Divorce Answer and Counterclaim or by Motion. It differs from Delaware Spousal Support which ends with the Divorce and can if awarded continue for marriages over 20 years, until death, cohabitation or remarriage. For marriages less than 20 years, Delaware alimony if claimed appropriately can last for a maximum of 1/2 the length of the marriage and ends with death, cohabitation or remarriage of the recipient. It is a complicated law, one which depends on the you and your spouse's expenses and earnings or earning capacity.

things have been rather hectic at work this past week. quite… - when it's all over we still have to clear up..
things have been rather hectic at work this past week. quite unexpectedly, actually. and i've been told this will continue to be so, most of next week. lately, i've been working about 28 hours a week. that may not sound as much, but you probably know that there's a reason for that. but anyway, i've put in more hours last week. 42 to be exact.
don't tell me i'm not resourceful!
who are you and what did you do to mimulus ?
mimulus joined forces with [-----] and met a gruesome and violent end.
yes, i did. i love the whole series. and/but (as i commented earlier somewhere) i don't think jk rowling is such a great writer. good, but not that great. however, i do think she's an excellent storyteller..
I noticed. I just wondered why.
but i got the opportunity to change it last friday and i thought it would be really cool..
you deep-fry them, but you probably know that.
filling them with banana compote, is just because we had lots of bananas..
I didn't say you did, I was just curious why.
I did not know that. Deep frying almost makes them sound like bagels. Though I think those are boiled.
I would make banana bread when I had old bananas. Donuts??!! Shockingly, I'd try it.
Take care of yourself. You are the only you we have.
oh & happy birthday, kate!
alice, thanks for your email.
Well, since you make all of your list bananas... it's only natural to go nuts for donuts!
Congrats to you, tamar! You've got a peel!
Work is good but work too hard is not. It is stress and you don't have time for yourself and friends.
Tamar, take care and thank you for the help.
oh and thank you for the bearhug!
I am saddened by the passing of Mimulus and overjoyed by the creation of Tamar.
Is it live or is it Tamar's ex?
mmm banana filled donuts sound delicious!

Stop Public Entertainment Licence changes
Following a public meeting held in Edinburgh last night, Richard Taylor reports back on how we need to act to stop a paid for Public Entertainment License coming into place in Scotland.
In 2010, legislation was passed to review the notion of entertainment in Scotland under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, rendering free-forms of creative expression such as small scale music events, theatre productions, literary readings and visual art exhibitions produced by grass roots groups and initiatives, which should remain free to public as viewers or audience, as impassable without a paid for Public Entertainment Licence. By 1 April 2012, if left unreviewed, this could have potentially destructive effects to existing cultural infrastructures that rely on a free economy and community.
It is at the discretion of local authorities in Scotland to come to an agreement between the voice of artists, with their reasoning for a right to free and impromptu expression (the licence would require 28 days notice during application period and consultation), and regulatory committees set in place, to come to a decision on what types of events and organisations need to apply for a licence.
On 23 February Glasgow City Council published a statement after reviewing public entertainment licence rules, clarifying "the council will not require a licence for events which are for a temporary period and are of a non-commercial nature". However this is only for a blanket period of six months, after which more clarification will be needed.
On the Thursday 1 March a public meeting was held at Out Of The Blue in Leith, Edinburgh. Chaired by The Herald's Neil Cooper the meeting presented a panel, comprising of grassroots arts promoter and organiser of LeithLate Morvern Cunnigham, head of Postgraduate and Visual Culture at Edinburgh College of Art Neil Mullholland, independent creative producer Chloe Dear, founder of Neu! Reekie, Kevin Williamson, Malcolm Chisholm MSP and Councillor Rob Munn (convenor of City of Edinburgh Council Regulatory Committee).
Further groups and individuals representative of the grass routes visual arts and music scene in Edinburgh were present, in order to clarify ramifications of possible decisions made by City of Edinburgh Council on what has been described as the essential 'bottom up' pathway of feeding the creative industries: an infrastructure which has historically enriched creative growth, making a commercially viable and economically tightened culture within Scotland.
By 9 March 2012, the City of Edinburgh Council Regulatory Committee will have reached a form of clarification for what type events and organisations are to be exempt from needing a license. Whilst Dumfries and Galloway Council have in effect wavered the license for smaller organisations by shifting the language used in enforcing the act, citizens of Edinburgh hope for a similar outcome.
A resounding 15,661signatures for a petition against the move towards the Public Entertainment License has been successful in rallying cultural voice. The licensing process will not only add more cost to producing events, gigs and exhibitions, it will also prolong administrative responsibilities for grass roots organisers (and indeed for the council too), hemming in often reactive and spontaneous forms of art making: the sort of activity that gives cities such as Edinburgh their vibrancy and cultural backbone.
Some might say that Glasgow's move to shift the act above a threshold, allowing smaller groups to remain active without a license, is to waver Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art: a biannual event which puts Glasgow on the international map, mustering cultural economy for Scotland.
A similar resolution may be reached in Edinburgh, but imagine future Edinburgh Fringe Festivals without the freedom to experience free events in the back of your local pub, or to attend a lecture series in your friends flat? Politics aside, it is a question of clarity in language used, so everyone knows where they stand.

KUALA LUMPUR (June 17): 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) president and group executive director Arul Kanda Kandasamy has expressed apprehensions at the manner in which the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will question him ahead of his meeting with the committee on Aug 5.
"Notwithstanding the various public statements on 1MDB from PAC member Tony Pua, I have every confidence that the honourable members of the committee will allow me a fair opportunity to explain 1MDB's position, to a lawful authority, per the requirements of due process," he said in a short statement today.
Pua, who is DAP National Publicity Secretary and Member of Parliament for Petaling Jaya Utara, has been highly critical over the actions of 1MDB's top management and its dealings.
"I refer to various statements on 1MDB and me, attributed to Pua, as reported in certain online publications today. Pua is a member of the bi-partisan PAC, before which I have been called to appear on Aug 5. The purpose of my appearance before the committee is to respond to questions that its members may have.
"The PAC is a lawful authority and the appropriate forum for questions to be asked and answered," Arul said, adding that he is confident PAC will be fair.

This movie was very entertaining, I loved all three of the Divergent movies! I recommend! :)
kmobuckeye Feb 22, 2019
A little ridiculous
DearEvanHansen2023 Sep 21, 2018
I love this movie, but they need to come out with part 2 very soon cause i need to see the ending and the accuracy comparison to the books. So far, this movie has been quite accurate...
Good job to the director and Veronica Roth
This movie is apart of the Divergent movie series starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James. Tris and Four finally manage to escape outside of Chicago as they try and figure out who they can trust and what to do next. As they learn more about what is truly going on, they race against the clock to save humanity. I feel like every new movie from this series gets progressively worse, as the actors stop caring about their roles and the writing gets sloppier. I personally never found Tris to be a likable character, and feel like Woodley doesn't do her justice. I would rate this mystery/science-fiction film 2/5 stars. @The_Reviewer of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board

The words to describe this stinker are not appropriate for this site, so I will refrain from them. The ONLY good thing in this movie is Bill Skarsguard, ( I know I misspelled that, but who can?) So, I watched this uninteresting and empty film, and the only thing I enjoyed was making IT jokes. Avoid this trash at all costs. I don't know what the people who praise this film are smoking, but I want some.
MickeysLibraryAccount May 09, 2018
A horrible let-down.
This ending was changed (from the book) to another standard Hollywood cookie-cutter back-door to a 4th installment...
Which is never going to happen.
Watch the Hunger Games again. This is a waste of time.
SarahElizabethBassett Mar 12, 2018
If you love Sci-Fi movies this is for you. I do love the play on the characters played by Shaleen Wood and Theo James. Wonderful electricity on screen between these two. Perfect. This was the only part of this series I could relate to because it was too unreal and too sci-fi for my taste in movies.

The Chicago Project:
In the early part of the 21st century, scientists first discovered a way to map, then edit, the human genome.
(MAN ON TV) Or you can choose health. You can choose to settle for merely adequate. Or you can choose excellent. A genetic solution puts you in control of your life. So why just hope for a better future when you can choose perfection? Choose Perfexia.
DAVID: But what started as an attempt to erase humanity's faults almost erased humanity itself. Genetic modification deepened the rifts between people, and as they got more entrenched, the world began to tear apart, until humanity crossed a line from which it could never return. In the ashes of civilization, a small group of genetically unmodified individuals of Genetic Welfare here, at Chicago's O 'Hare Airport. Our mission is to oversee a grand experiment to purify the human genome. That experiment is the city of Chicago.
What is the Damaged?
-The genetic alterations had disastrous consequences. Too brave, and you're cruel. Too peaceful, and you're passive. Too smart, and you lose compassion. Like your brother.
Caleb's Damaged?
-Yes. For nearly 200 years, the greatest scientific minds have lived here to test a theory. If we could rescue genetically damaged people from the toxic environment in the Fringe and put them in a safe place, like Chicago, then perhaps, over time, man's genetic material would heal itself, return to its original form.
And I'm one of those people.
-You are the only one.
This hole looks radioactive. Or at least it was in the last 200 years.
-Meaning what exactly?
Somebody seriously messed up the world.
Great leaders don't seek power. They're called by necessity.
I've never felt so clean in my life. That was the best weird shower I've ever had.
The Allegiant? That's what you're calling yourselves?
-Amity just doesn't seem appropriate anymore.
So what exactly are you allegiant to? The faction system?
-The factions kept Chicago peaceful for a long time.
If I can show the Council your miracle can be replicated... then her life's work is complete. The Council will be forced to look at every human being, no matter where they were born, as worthy of life.
So what is the lifespan out here?
-25, 30 years. If we get people early, they can live up to 50 or 60 in the Bureau.
Human beings cannot be categorized in this way. It doesn't work. Maybe it's time to start
embracing everyone instead of dividing them into groups, regardless of whether they're Pure or they're Damaged.
One terrible accident doesn't mean it was the wrong thing to do. ... If you had enough to save one person, and your choice was between a healthy child or a sick old man, who would you choose?
-I wouldn't choose.
Good. Now they're both dead.
***SPOILER ALERT***
This is not a humanitarian mission We're not saving kids. We're stealing them.
-This is what we do. Now you know. David takes them out from here, wipes their memories with the gas, and raises them in the Bureau.
If you take away what they know, then you take away who they are.
-Yeah. I think that's the point.
What about our home?
-I don't think our home exists anymore.
And what if there's nothing out there? What if there is nothing left?
-I can live with that if you're with me. But I can not live without trying.
So here we stand. Together. Not as five factions, but as one city. And we're gonna tear down their wall.
What's an airport?
I ran a faction! I protected our son from Jeanine's thugs.
-Protected him? Is that what you call it? Beating your own child!
It made him who he is.
I need help with something in Chicago.
-What's in it for me?
Well, if you do well, you can have any job you want. Except mine.
You want peace with no struggle. The world doesn't work like that.

Lola Dupre is a collage artist and illustrator from Scotland. Her works are entirely produced with paper and scissors, her subjects vary from the fashion to the political world. Politics gives her the opportunity to explore the ugly, but this exhausts her and she returns quickly to style and fashion. In her works she loves to collaborate with photographers and she is always looking to discuss new projects and directions.
Please briefly tell us about your background. Who is Lola Dupre?
I left school young and went on an extended tour of countries, cities and art studios for a few years. My academic qualifications are therefore rather poor, but I have always enjoyed reading and learning about things through practice and experience. When I began seriously making collage it lead me equally to art and illustration.
We admire the exquisite level of detail in all your works. Can you please briefly describe your creative process? Does it take long time from start to the end?
Thank you, the details are often the most contorted areas. The detail can be interesting to produce, the most meditative part of the work. Time varies hugely between pieces - from one day to three months.
Many of your artistic works are based on famous people portraits. We can recognize famous figures of our times but also historical ones. We notice you realized a portrait of Mao like Warhol did. Can we say that you place this part of your work in the Pop Art movement? What do you think?
It could be Pop Art, but I think there are many movements inspiring every piece of art. Each of us knows only one point of view but the truth is that things are much more complicated and individual.
In your works made in 2014-2015: "Liquid 01", "Liquid 02" or "Black Matter", we can see a geometrical approach of your subject; a fascination for the shapes. Somehow it make us think about Victor Vasarely's work. Do you consider him as a reference?
Thank you!, Op art is very inspiring for me, it always has been. I love the moire pattern references in Vasarely and Riley's work. It was a big influence for these works I made with CES in LA.
In some of your works we perceive allegorical messages. For example, we see this in your work with war planes mixed with penises. Also, some of your works are political and some others are about our entire society. Do you think any artistic work should contain a message? Do you look forward to transmit a message with your work?
I think artistic works should contain as many messages as possible. I think messages are an essential thing in how dialogue forms and grows. I have my own ideas about politics and society, I don't want to reveal them as such, just encourage dialogue or laughter. I look forward to the next piece of work more almost as soon as I start working.
In most of your works we can see very original and almost expressionist elements (the girl with the triangle head, the cat with many eyes, etc). You could illustrate a Neil Gaiman's novel like Dave Mackean did. Would you like to work on narrative projects?
Would love to. The lines between fine art and illustration sometimes infuriate me, lines are barriers, barriers are walls.
The early years were the hardest, connecting with my first clients and collectors. I can't think of obvious individual obstacles, I have never really found motivation a problem.
What particular work in your entire production did you enjoy the most?
None really, I usually just prefer the most recent things I made.
I dislike any form of elitism, I dislike how fine art must fulfill a certain blinkered criteria. I am all about the love and light, free expression and uncensored and unrestrained creativity. Often as an illustrator I receive more artistic encouragement and freedom than when I am working with a gallery.
Can you tell us about your future projects and collaborations? What are your ambitions and goals for the next 1-5 years?
A few photographer fashion collaborations coming up which always excite me. My plans remain the same, to produce interesting new visuals. I still love the creativity of collage, the process of cutting up images. I want to come up with new techniques and approaches to collage. And most importantly continue searching for the most beautiful things that I can make. My goal for next year is the same is my goal for 20 years in the future.


Management from Al Jazeera English will meet with an arbitration body in order to settle staff disputes over pay amid planned strike action.
Journalists and management from the Qatari-based broadcaster will meet at the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service on 4 May with the aim of resolving their workplace disputes ahead of the planned strike.
Al Jazeera journalists based in London announced that they would strike for 24 hours from midnight on 9 May over claims they have not received a pay rise in more than four years .
They say this is equivalent to a 9 per cent pay cut after inflation.
The strike is being carried by members of the National Union of Journalists and Bectu unions. A joint union representative said: "We are committed to making every effort to find a resolution to this dispute.
"We are hoping that after more than three years of negotiations, Al Jazeera management will come to ACAS this time with a pay offer that adequately recognises the hard work of their staff.
The NUJ will be taking part in discussions with ACAS and has said it sees this as a positive step in settling the matter.

This peak climbing begins from Syange after 8 hours drive from Kathmandu valley and on the way, we will see the wonderful scenery and small towns. The people are very friendly and helpful in this area and we will be able to enjoy the outlandish landscape of Manang and its unique settlement. Not only that we will have a wonderful view of the mountain which includes Annapurna I, II, south, Dhaulagiri, Macchhapuchhre, and many other mountains of this wonderful region. We will enter the Annapurna conservation area which is well known about the home of many rare birds, animals, flora, and fauna and the wide variety of the flora and fauna makes this region one of the most awaited trekking destination in the world. For trekking in this route, mostly March to May and September to December season is very much suitable.
If the hotel is able to make breakfast then after we will have our breakfast in the hotel and slowly start our trekking to Syange. Upon 8 to 10 hours drive from Kathmandu valley, we will reach Syange which is a scenic drive along with terraced field, typical villages and panorama views of the mountain. And spend overnight in the wonderful land.
The trail continues past barley, wheat and potato field and through a pine forest before re-crossing the river near Khotro. The trail goes flat for the part then climb steeply and the path is cut into the stone village.
The trail climbs steeply above the river to a silent forest of vertical world cliff, pine, and bamboo forest. We will have our lunch on the way and slowly move towards our destinations where we will spend one night.
The trail climbs along the mule track through in and fir forest and then follows the rivers for a time amongst the higher oak and maples tree. We will have our lunch on the way then after we will slowly move towards Chulu west base camp where we will spend one night in Chulu west base camp.
The trail includes mostly flat and gentle downs so pretty easy and the path skirts around the ridge, staying mostly level. Their panorama invites an early start and involves a two-hour climb to the summit and you will reach to the top and find yourself surrounded all side by the mountains. We will have a wonderful view of the mountain from the top of the Camp I and spend one night.
Today we don't start our trekking because today is only for the rest. After having a hot breakfast we will explore all around the Camp I. There are plenty of things to do around Camp I. We enjoy captivating views of the mountains and spend time exploring the surrounding before descending back to Camp I and spend one night.
Leaving Camp I for Camp II to continue our trekking and the route is not that technical. We will have a wonderful view of the mountain, beautiful landscapes, and a small village. Upon 4 to 5 hours you will reach Camp II from Camp I and we will spend one night in Camp II.
Having a hot breakfast early in the morning, we will slowly start our trekking. We will start our trekking too early because today we have to summit Chulu west pass. We will have our lunch after completing the Chulu west pass and take some rest and ready to trek towards Camp I where we will spend one night.
At the point, it is necessary to climb the side of an ancient moraine which the path is rises more gently. We will have our lunch on the way then after we will slowly move towards Jomsom. After walking around 7 to 8 hours, we will reach Jomsom and upon reach in Jomsom, first of all, we will check out the hotel then after explore all around the village and spend one night.

"[The conviction] is clear confirmation of justice not only done but manifestly seen to be done," said department spokesperson Mthunzi Mhaga on Tuesday.
"We commend the National Prosecuting Authority's aggressive stance of charging irresponsible drivers with murder instead of the usual culpable homicide, which usually attracts non-custodial sentences."
Maarohanye and Tshabalala were found guilty on four counts of murder and two of attempted murder in the Protea Magistrate's Court on Tuesday afternoon.
The two were drag-racing in Protea North, Soweto, on March 8 2010 when they crashed into a group of schoolchildren.
Prince Mohube, Mlungisi Cwayi, Andile Mthombeni, and Phomello Masemola were killed, while Frank Mlambo and Fumani Mushwana were seriously injured.
Tshabalala, dressed in a suit, and Maarohanye, in a tan leather jacket and braided hair, barely looked at each other once during Nemavhidi's summary.
"The state managed to prove beyond reasonable doubt ... that the accused are guilty on four counts of murder ... two counts of attempted murder," said Magistrate Brian Nemavhidi.
He also convicted them of racing on a public road and driving while under the influence of drugs.
"The death of the deceased occurred as a result of the driving of those vehicles and as such the accused are convicted of driving their vehicles while under the influence of drugs," he said.
The court had to be called to order as the magistrate delivered his judgment.
The families of the victims could not control their emotions.
One woman was carried out of court after fainting and an official passed water around to other people, while schoolmates of the deceased broke down and cried.


From time to time we really need display a description obvious and deafening from the very start of the page-- such as a promo details, upcoming celebration notification or anything. In order to create this statement deafening and clear it's also undoubtedly a smart idea placing them even above the navbar just as form of a general caption and statement.
tags are going to come about there pushing down the web page's actual web content.
This incorporated with the a bit larger paddings and a several more lined of text message content might actually trigger the components filling in a mobile phone's whole entire display height and eve spread beneath it that might ultimately confuse or even irritate the site visitor-- especially in a hurry one. So once more we return to the unwritten requirement - the Jumbotron messages ought to be short and clear so they hook the site visitors as opposed to moving them away by being extremely shouting and aggressive.
And so right now you have an idea precisely how to make a Jumbotron with Bootstrap 4 and all the possible ways it can surely disturb your audience -- right now everything that's left for you is carefully planning its own content.

Four Argonne research projects have earned R&D 100 Awards, long considered the "Oscars" of scientific innovation. Two of the winners — Darshan and Swift/T — are advancing high-performance computing capabilities for science.
Earlier this year, Argonne hosted its first Quantum Computing Workshop. The three-day event brought together nearly 150 representatives from across industry to discuss existing quantum computing programs and projects and examine promising research opportunities.
This summer, 45 students ranging from undergraduates to PhD candidates came to the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility to gain hands-on experience with some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world. From exploring the potential of quantum computing to visualizing system logs of high-performance computing systems, this year's intern class worked alongside ALCF staff mentors to tackle research projects that address issues at the forefront of scientific computing.
As part of the Wind Forecast Improvement Project II (WFIP 2), Argonne researchers used the ALCF's Mira supercomputer to improve short-term wind forecasting in complex terrains in an effort to make wind energy a more reliable resource.
Materials scientists at Duke University computationally predicted the electrical and optical properties of semiconductors made from extended organic molecules sandwiched by inorganic structures. The ability to build accurate models of these materials atom-by-atom will allow researchers to explore new material designs for next-generation devices.
This summer, ALCF Director Michael Papka and several ALCF colleagues helped lead Argonne's first Big Data and Visualization Camp, which taught high school students how to gain insights from vast amounts of data.

As studies reveal the impact of engagement, it's become a buzzword not just within the manufacturing industry, but globally among most industries. Unfortunately many engagement programs fail because they're based on traditional management practices that were created more than 100 years ago. Those practices are based on supervision, compliance, process and in some cases, distrust.
Although they worked well in the time of the industrial revolution, today's worker has evolved. Today, people want to be self-organized, motivated and plugged into the operation. Not simply told what to do.
Real engagement is not something that can be forced, or created with a management program. Real engagement is a natural by-product that happens when each worker feels they have a voice, not only in their own daily tasks, but in the direction of the team and the overall operation. Fortunately, the technology exists to support this type of collaborative, worker powered environment.
Smart PPE, sensors and IoT provide the framework in which workers can and will report data that is invaluable to the organization, whether it's an unsafe situation, a recurring problem that's hampering productivity, or poor quality leaving the assembly line. Real-time communications technology transforms not merely the worker, but the entire workforce. IoT and Smart PPE are only effective when they're designed to help achieve several important goals.
For example, we know that the next generation of workers needs to feel comfortable and happy in their environment. They must feel appreciated as a vital member of the team. And they need to believe they have a voice. It's when these objectives are achieved—above and beyond the implementation of the actual technology—that the worker becomes genuinely connected.
When an organization's most important asset—the workforce—is engaged via a real-time, continuous loop of communication, individuals become part of a connected framework that powers leaner, higher quality and safer organizations.

Victorians back significant social housing push Housing and Homelessness
Victorians back significant social housing push
JOINT MEDIA RELEASE
More than three quarters of Victorians want the State Government to "build significantly more public and community housing" as part of its response to COVID-19.
According to a new Essential Poll conducted exclusively on the eve of National Homelessness Week, support for more social housing was rock solid in all demographics, regions and age groups, and right across the political divide.
This includes support for more social housing from:
77% of all voters
84% of Labor voters and 78% of Coalition voters.
76% of women and 78% of men.
77% of Melbourne residents and 79% of people in country Victoria.
Support to build more homes for people on low-incomes and those who are homeless was also consistently strong amongst workers, retirees, parents and those without kids.
And whopping 83% of Victorians believe the Victorian Government should be doing more to end homelessness, in the poll conducted on behalf of Victoria's leading housing and social advocacy groups.
Should the Victorian Government "build significantly more public and community housing" as part of the response to COVID-19?
Social housing support
The Victorian Council of Social Service CEO Emma King said:
"The Victorian people are speaking with one voice here. They want the Victorian Government to build more public and community housing."
"People want a Big Build to End Homelessness."
The Community Housing Industry Association Victoria's CEO Lesley Dredge agreed, saying:
"This issue is above politics. Everybody needs a home."
"The message is clear: let's get building."
Victoria has lowest proportion of social housing in Australia. About 25,000 people are homeless on any given night, and more than 100,000 people are stuck on the state's housing wait list.
Modelling done before COVID-19 found Victoria needs to build at least 6,000 new public and community housing properties each year for a decade. It called for state and federal governments to work together to address the shortfall.
The Essential Poll of 503 Victorians was conducted from July 23rd to 26th and was commissioned by the Victorian Housing Peaks Alliance.
