his story: the account of the rebellion and wars in Heaven, of the defeat and expulsion of the rebel Angels, of the creation of the New Universe, etc. The colloquy is protracted till evening, when (VIII. 652, 653) Raphael departs.
Interval of Six Days.-During the six days following the departure of Raphael we are left to suppose Adam and Eve still in their happiness, and going about their duties in Paradise. left to suppose this; for we have no account of those days, save that we learn afterwards (IX. 53—69) that Satan had not quitted the Earth, but was all the while circling it, and meditating his re-approach to the innocent pair. He had fled at night on the first day; and it was not till the eighth night from that, inclusively, that he thought it prudent to return. During those seven days he had not ceased going round and round the globe: adjusting his circuits, however, so as always to be in Night, or within the Earth's shadow, lest Uriel, the Angel of the Sun, whom he had deceived once, and who was now on the alert, should be aware of his movements.
Ninth Day.—This is the day of the Temptation and the Fall. On the previous night,-i.e. on the night of what, in our present reckoning, is the eighth day,--Satan, having returned from compassing the Earth, has re-entered Paradise (IX. 67-75), and hidden himself in the Serpent (IX. 179--191), waiting for the morning. When the morning comes, Adam and Eve come forth to begin the new day (IX. 192—199). Adam at length yielding to her request that they should betake themselves separately to their tasks in the Garden, the Serpent has the opportunity of tempting Eve alone. It is about noon (IX. 739) when he succeeds in making her eat of the forbidden fruit (IX. 780, 781). Adam's participation in the sin (IX. 995998), and the mutual upbraidings and shame which follow the act, and conclude Book IX., are to be supposed as filling up the afternoon. But the incidents of the same fatal day extend into Book X. It is still but the evening of the same day when the Son comes down from Heaven into Paradise (X. 90-102) to pronounce judgment on the trembling pair. From the terms of the judgment Adam learns that it was not to be as might have been feared from the original threatening, "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die"; but that, though on that very day the liability to death had been incurred, the actual stroke was deferred (X. 209–211). Left again to themselves, the unhappy pair spend
the night in sad discourses. This we learn only incidentally, by being told that Satan, who had slunk away into a wood immediately after the temptation of Eve, and had thence seen the events of the afternoon, but had fled terrified in the evening on beholding the descent of the Son of God, had returned in the night, and had then gathered from the sad talk of Adam and Eve the nature of his own doom (X. 332-344).
Tenth Day.—There is a difficulty about this day. Addison and other critics omit it altogether, and suppose the whole of Book X. to be but a continuation of the Ninth Day, or the day of the Fall and the subsequent evening and night. Examination, however, will prove that the poem assumes at least one complete day and night as having been spent by Adam and Eve in Paradise after the day of their fall and the immediately following night of their first sad discourse on the consequences. Thus, Sin and Death, whom Satan had left at Hell-gates, eager to follow him if his enterprise should succeed (II. 865–870), and who had followed him, and not only followed him, but built in their track through Chaos that wondrous bridge or causey which was thenceforth permanently to connect Hell with the new Universe (II. 1024—1033, and X. 229311),—these two horrible visitants from Hell had just completed their strange labour of engineering, and fastened the end of their bridge on the outside shell of the new Universe near the opening under Heaven's gate, when they behold Satan emerging in radiant triumph out of the starry involutions of the new Universe on his
back to Hell to report his victory (X. 312–331). Now, although the transit of Sin and Death from Hell-gate to the new Universe is an extramundane event, and need not have the mundane measure of time applied to it, yet Satan's appearance to them, being within the extreme mundane limits, has a time assigned to it. What is that time? It is at what would be sunrise on the Earth (X. 329),-i.e. the morning immediately following the night after the Fall. Satan is then returning in exultation to Hell, to carry thither the news of his success. The rest of his journey thither, and what occurred in Hell on his arrival (X. 410—584), are extra-mundane, and may or may not be referred to the same day. To this day, however, must be referred the descent of Sin and Death, after their parting from Satan, into the Mundane Universe, their arrival in Paradise and their dialogue there (X. 585-613); and to the same day, necessarily, also those modi
fications for the worse of the physical arrangements of the Mundane Universe which were decreed by the Almighty in consequence of its moral ruin (X. 613-706). It is in the night of the same day that we have Adam's long soliloquy of lamentation (X. 714-862, especially lines 845, 846), followed by that discourse with Eve which, beginning with new upbraidings on his part, ends in their reconciliation and joint prayers to Heaven (X. 863—1104). It is precisely, however, with respect to this soliloquy of Adam, "through the still night," and the subsequent dialogue with Eve till morning, that the difficulty has been felt by commentators. There are phrases in both the soliloquy and the dialogue which, at first sight, seem to imply that this sleepless night of misery was the night immediately after the Fall. See lines 773, 811, and 962. But this would not be consistent with the fact that the soliloquy and dialogue are plainly announced (X. 714—716) to have taken place after Sin and Death had arrived on the Earth and begun to work their destructive effects on vegetation and animal life there, and also after those physical derangements of the Universe by Almighty decree which brought in tempests, and cold, and noxious planetary influences: both which sets of events are distinctly represented as subsequent to Satan's exit from the Universe on the morning after the day of the Fall. Either, then, the phrases in question are not to be interpreted literally (and, after all, they need not be so), or it must be assumed that Milton was oblivious in this particular instance, and forgot that he had already disposed of the night immediately following the Fall, and the day succeeding that night. It does not seem impossible to me that, in composing the poem, he did originally intend to refer Adam's long soliloquy and the dialogue with Eve to the night immediately following the Fall. This is the more probable because we are told that on that night immediately following the Fall the hapless pair did hold sad discourse together (X. 341---343), and because there is a coincidence between their actual discourse as we have it on the subsequent night and what we are told was their discourse then. Satan, we are told, had gathered the nature of his doom from their discourse on the first night; but there is a passage in their discourse on the second night exactly such as would have conveyed this information to him (X. 1030—1040). May not Milton, then, have originally intended this second night's discourse as it now stands to have been the sad discourse of the first night to which Satan listened,
and may not the interposition of the intervening events have been an afterthought? In any case we are now obliged, as the poem stands, to suppose a night, and then a whole day, and then another night, to have been passed by Adam and Eve in Paradise after their sin. One may even find, if one chooses to do so, a poetic fitness in the haziness with which, so far as Adam and Eve are concerned, the record of this time of their wretchedness is kept. One night passes over them woefully talking together; the next day, while the world is growing darker and less lovely around them, they are apart somewhere, as if separately stunned and in horror; and, on the second night, when, after Adam's long recovering lamentation by himself, Eve re-approaches him and they converse, it still seems as if it were but the one protracted night after the day of their guilt.
Eleventh Day.-- This is the day of the expulsion from Paradise. We had already been informed (X. 1069–1070) that the previous night's converse of Adam and Eve had been protracted till daybreak, and this information is repeated (XI. 133-140). It is now, therefore, the morning of the Eleventh Day. Adam and Eve have just ended their orisons and found themselves comforted, but are again perplexed by strange omens of an alteration in nature, when the Archangel Michael, who has been sent down with an Angelic band to perform the expulsion, appears within the Garden (XI. 208 —250). He announces the errand on which he has come, and we have the lamentations of Adam and Eve at the prospect of having to leave their native ground (XI. 251–333). But Michael has it in charge to fortify Adam, first of all, with a vision of the future of the human race, and the hope of the ultimate restoration to be effected in the Incarnate Son. Accordingly, while Eve is left asleep below, the Archangel and Adam ascend the hill-top; whence, in a vision, which the Archangel interprets, Adam looks forward through the coming ages, seeing human history evolve itself, first to the Flood, and thence onward more rapidly, through the annals of the Jewish nation, to the advent of Christ. The account of this vision, and of Michael's interpretation of it to Adam, extends from XI. 366 to XII. 605. The last experience of Adam within his Paradise Lost may be said, therefore, to be the hope thus revealed to him of Paradise Regained: of Satan, Sin, and Death revanquished, and the World renewed for ever by the " one greater Man" of promise, his own descendant in the flesh, and yet the Lord of all things. The day, it may be supposed, is far spent when, after this long vision, the Archangel and Adam descend the hill, and find Eve awaiting them at the foot. The flaming ministers of terror having meanwhile taken possession of Paradise, Michael executes his final duty. Leading Adam and Eve direct to the eastern gate, and through it, and then down to the plain beneath, he there leaves them. Behind them all the eastern side of Paradise is ablaze, the burning brand waving over it to prevent return, and the gate thronged with dreadful faces and fiery arms. And so the poem closes with this last glimpse of the outcasts :
" Some natural tears they dropt, but wiped them soon :
The world was all before them, where to choose
Their place of rest, and Providence their guide.
They, hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow,
Through Eden took their solitary way."'
SECTION IV.
ON THE QUESTION OF Milton's INDEBTEDNESS IN " PARADISE
Lost" TO PARTICULAR MODERN AUTHORS.
Voltaire, in 1727, suggested that Milton had, while in Italy in 1638-9, seen performed there a Scriptural drama, entitled Adamo, written by a certain Giovanni Battista Andreini, and that, " piercing through the absurdity of the performance to the hidden majesty of the subject," he "took from that ridiculous trifle the first hint of the noblest work which the human imagination has ever attempted."l The Andreini thus recalled to notice was the son of an Italian actress, and was known in Italy and also in France as a writer of comedies and religious poems, and also of some defences of the Drama. He was born in 1578, and, as he did not die till 1652,
1 Essay on Epic Poetry, originally written by Voltaire in English during his stay in London, afterwards translated into French, and now included, in an amended form, in Voltaire's Collected Works, with the title, "Essai sur la Poésie Épique." One chapter of the essay is devoted to Milton. It is a slight thing, showing no real knowledge of Milton's life; and the statement about Andreini, with which the chapter opens, is made in this off-hand manner : "Milton, voyageant en Italie dans sa jeunesse, vit représenter à Milan une comédie," etc. Where Voltaire had picked up the fact he does not tell us. I fancy it was a sheer guess of his own put as a fact.

The Solar Plexus Chakra is located, as its name suggests, between the navel and heart, at the pericardium (below the breasts at the V of the ribs). It's name means "Seat of the Soul", or solar network.
It is associated, in the body with the stomach, with the elements fire and water, and the color deep gold.
To transmute the energy of the emotions into soulful passion for life i.e. fear into love, anger into action, sadness into surrender and bliss.
To experience the depth of emotions and transmute them into passion and devotion. To activate our soul.
Although traditionally there are 7 major chakras, the spine and even our subtle body contain many other chakras. Through meditation on my spine and body I experienced that the solar plexus - the area above the navel and under the heart - contains energy and offers experiences and powers very different from the navel chakra. Explore yourself and see what you can discover.


*Note: Due to strict FDA and FTC rules in the USA, only a few testimonials appear here as a light sampling of what others have said. NEVER choose an energy healer based solely on testimonials.
"At ACC NEWS we carefully screen every guest featured on our show to assure that we have the best people available to help anyone of our listeners in need of assistance. Wendy Lee Baldwin is by far one the best and most QUALIFIED Healing & Wellness Coaches in the U.S."
"Over time, I've worked with many holistic healers. I carried a nagging issue that, no matter whom I worked with, would not release and heal. The day that I met Wendy, she picked up on something that was going on inside me and instantly I knew that she was "the one".
Wendy lovingly guided me through my big issue. She helped me heal around a money trauma, reconnect to Source energy, and an issue from my childhood. Even though I had already done a level of healing on these areas in the past, they continued to upset me.
Through the process, what I discovered was the ability to heal on increasingly deeper levels. This included forgiveness on multiple levels that I didn't realize required more and deeper forgiving. Ultimately, it's all about the willingness and courage to love myself more.
After the session, I felt free, expansive and grateful that I met Wendy. I highly recommend her to my friends and colleagues. She has a unique ability to hold us in such a coherent state of Love, that, in her presence, one simply entrains there."
"I've worked with Wendy on specific issues and have found tremendous results. During our sessions, she has masterfully guided me to healing. Each time I am able to process and release beliefs that no longer serve me. I experience a shift that leaves me grounded and confident and feeling complete. Wendy's deep caring and personal commitment to healing is strong. I wish that I could give all my loved ones this experience of healing."
Back pain gone...back to her beloved yoga!
"My lower back was experiencing pain and discomfort which interfered with my yoga classes as well as daily life. Wendy worked with me for less than an hour on this and the pain stopped. She not only helped me release and heal the pain, but the process also helped me heal a deep rooted issue from the past that was connected to a tragic family event. I'm back to my yoga, pain free and significantly happier over all.
Wendy Baldwin is my "go-to" healer and one of the only people I trust to help me when needed."
"I was referred to Wendy Baldwin by my very dear friend, "Goddess Healer". I had been having medical issues for so many years that I could not remember when it actually started. I was insulin dependent diabetic, I had Temporal arteritis with blindness in my left eye as a result, Parkinson's Disease, Asthma, extreme pain all over, depression…all of which were auto-immune conditions. I was on eleven separate prescribed medications.
I met "Goddess Healer" in 2008 when we both attended the same conference in Canada where she was a presenter. After the conference, I emailed her and told her what her presentation had done for me. We have become very close friends and talk quite frequently on the phone.
One day, "Goddess Healer" suggested that it was time for me to contact Wendy Baldwin (I had talked to her one other time and it was awesome.) and perhaps start having some sessions with her. Since my friend had never steered me wrong in the past, I decided to give it a try.
After my first session with Wendy, she asked if I thought it would be beneficial to have weekly sessions. I immediately said "Yes" and we made arrangements for our sessions. My next thought was, "Buckle up, Buttercup! You're going for a ride!" I was not wrong and what a ride it has been.
When we first started working together in March of this year (2016), I was so broken, that I could not look into the mirror and see anything but hideous. When I look now, I see the "real" me…a me that is beautiful, glowing and full of love.
This ride that I/we have been on has been filled with love, tears, fear, and healing…very deep healing. None of it has been done alone because Wendy has been there for and with me every step of the way. She has challenged me, cajoled me, and cried with me. But most of all, Wendy has loved me unconditionally.
I can now say that I am no longer diabetic and going off all medications (that is the intent). At this time I have had 85 to 90 percent of the vision restored in my left eye, I am pain free, I am loving life and especially myself and I am looking forward to whatever comes next.
All I can say is…go ahead buttercup, buckle up and call, write, or email Wendy and start your own incredible journey. It will be worth it. It takes courage, love and a boatload of hard work, but you will never be alone…Wendy will be with you every step of the way. I am living proof that miracles happen when you open your heart and mind and work with Wendy."
UPDATE Oct 18, 2016: "Vision in left eye now at 20/30. Only need reading glasses...My doctor nearly fell off his chair. He is baffled by the healing. But I"m not."
"Very good, interactive session. Well crafted and tailored presentation to the forgiveness purpose of the group."
"Well paced, simple to understand, process and use. If you ever have an opportunity to hear Wendy or to use her services, I encourage you to do so."
"Since I have been working with Wendy as my personal coach and healer, my life has transformed in such a short time in so many ways.
I have never been so clear and focused on my life's purpose and goals.
Her business coaching skills are precise and effective that has produced remarkable results in my life. And as a healer, she has helped me resolve and heal deep levels of my past that had limited me and kept me stuck. With her help, I was able to break through my old patterns and connect with my greatness. She is well worth your time and money.
Thank you, Wendy, you are a blessing to this planet."
"I always suspected that I had limiting beliefs when it came to money. While I wanted to make more money in my business, I just couldn't bring myself to raise my fees or justify my rates. After three sessions with Wendy, I had one amazing week! She correctly identified my "blocks", but more importantly helped me break free of these limiting beliefs and fears.
A client emailed me stating that he wanted me to call him about a "complaint" he had over my work. I called him, and his complaint was that I was not charging enough. He insisted on sending me four times the invoice. Then I received an email from another client congratulating me on my sales bonus that I didn't even know that I had earned. But in this case the check was in the mail.
And the third happening for the week was an unexpected insurance check cashing in on a policy I also never knew existed. I was a young child when the relative started the policy.
Wow, Wendy! Thank you for teaching me how to manifest money by breaking free of limiting beliefs."
"Thank you for the session. Everything you said was spot on. I hung up the phone and kept saying, "That was amazing!!" over and over. The difference in my life is amazing. I feel love for myself - like I am filled with love. I feel more secure in my marriage and more love is there between us. At the end of the session I felt as if the sun's rays were warming and comforting me and then there were billows of love that came down and swept over me. I'd never felt that before. In fact, I have never felt that level of love before. Ever! And I am over 60 years old! I wish everyone knew about you."
"(our session) changed my way of thinking from negative to positive. The changes happened so fast! Ever since I experienced (a session) with Wendy, positive things have come my way. I will definitely have more "energy" sessions with Wendy."
"I was shocked with my results after one hour of (session) with Wendy. I unexpectedly got a full time job two days after my session. I didn't even apply for the job. The boss knew me and called me out of the blue. My relationship with my family grew stronger right away and my feelings towards my dad have greatly improved. I am eager to have more (sessions). Thank you, Wendy!"
"Being a full-time working mom saps a lot out of me. I'm constantly in need of renewal and clarity; something to give me more focus and harness the internal drive to do more and to live the life I ultimately want - the life of a best-selling author. Daily struggles for time and energy rank high on my list.
But the ultimate fight is against myself and my own internal stumbling blocks. They are the things that bog me down and drain my energy - they stop me like a brick wall. Wendy helps me see all that - she breaks through those walls and helps me clear them, painlessly and without effort.
Already in a short time, I've become more relaxed and focused. Things that used to require so much energy are effortless. Even better, abundance has begun to flow into my life. Money and opportunities have appeared where before there was nothing. And I know there's just more coming. I can't wait to see what my future holds."
"I've been blessed with being able to have several healing sessions with Wendy. Each manifested differently within me, which shows that once the 'ground work' has been laid, our bodies, minds, spirits and souls choose how and at what speed to integrate new information.
The first was very swift—releasing powerful negative thoughts and feelings over the course of a few days, and replacing them with a greater sense of inner peace. The results of the second session integrated much slower, revealing insights and 'ah-ha' moments over the course of time—even several months later.
Certainly we all experience ups and downs within the framework of life, but I believe spiritual healing in the form of "energy healing" processes raises our baseline of health so that we may consciously build on this foundation by confidently making positive changes in our lives. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable, professional and experienced, Wendy has the ability to 'help us help ourselves' in a tangible, heartfelt way!"

Q: Incoming Call Blocking in Android I am able to block incoming calls in android but problems it rings for fraction of seconds before disconnection of time. How can i directly disconnect phone without single ringing?
I have added permission in Manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses-permission>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" />

Then Create  IDL interface for getting core Telephony service.
 package com.android.internal.telephony;
  interface ITelephony {

  boolean endCall();

  void answerRingingCall();

  void silenceRinger();
}

Then made broadcast receiver for incoming call.
public class PhonecallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

Context context = null;

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

      Log.i(TAG, "Receving call...");
      TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager)
      context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
      try {

           Class c = Class.forName(telephony.getClass().getName());
           Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
           m.setAccessible(true);
           ITelephony telephonyService = (ITelephony) m.invoke(telephony);

            Bundle b = intent.getExtras();
            String incommingNumber = b.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);

            telephonyService.endCall();

    }catch (Exception e){  e.printStackTrace();
}}

A: It is Mission Impossible for the time being.
Viewing the reason here : Why it is impossible to intercept incoming calls on Android
But I suggest you still a temporary solution I myself adopted :
Before to block the call, the first thing you need to do is retrieve the current mode of the phone ringing, and then turn on silent :
AudioManager audiomanage = (AudioManager)context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
int ringerMode = audiomanage.getRingerMode();
audiomanage.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);

After blocking the call (or not) gives you the initial mode :
audiomanage.setRingerMode(ringerMode);

You'll need these permissions :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"/>

I hope I helped you.

Mitch McConnell announced he will get a COVID-19 vaccine 'in the coming days,' and Congress will be receiving a shipment of the vaccine
Dec 18, 2020 covid19
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) gives the thumbs-up to the media after the Senate voted to confirm Betsy DeVos as education secretary on Capitol Hill on February 7, 2017 in Washington, D.C. The historic 51-50 vote was decided by a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence. Mario Tama/Getty Images
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he will receive the coronavirus vaccine "in the coming days" to boost public confidence in the shot.
"The only way to beat this pandemic is for us to follow the advice of our nation's health care professionals: get vaccinated and continue to follow CDC guidelines," McConnell said in the statement.
McConnell is the latest of a number of prominent politicians who are planning on receiving the vaccine to boost public confidence in the shot — including President-elect Joe Biden, Vice President Mike Pence, and former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he will receive the coronavirus shot "in the coming days" to demonstrate the vaccine's safety and efficacy.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine last Friday for emergency use – the first vaccine to be greenlighted in the US.
Shipments of the vaccine rolled out overnight on Sunday to be administered to frontline healthcare workers, and a number of prominent figures are volunteering to publicly receive the shot to boost public confidence in its safety.
In a statement released Thursday, McConnell said he was eligible to get the vaccine "because of government continuity requirements."
Alongside frontline healthcare workers, Congress will also be among the first to get a shipment of the coronavirus vaccine, Politico reported.
"Vaccines for federal agencies and officials across Washington have been arriving at Walter Reed Medical Center in recent days," according to the Politico report, "and thousands of doses are expected to be designated for the House and Senate, though congressional leadership offices said they have no information to provide."
Capitol Physician Brian Monahan wrote in a letter to McConnell, obtained by Politico, that Capitol Hill will receive "a specific number of COVID 19 vaccine doses to meet longstanding requirements for continuity of government operations." It was not immediately clear what other members of Congress will also get the vaccine alongside McConnell.
"The small number of COVID 19 vaccines we will be provided reflects a fraction of the first tranche of vaccines as it is distributed throughout the country," Monahan continued, citing the Politico report.
McConnell said he was "disappointed to see early public sentiment that shows some hesitation towards receiving a vaccine," citing data from an AP-NORC poll showing that a quarter of American adults are unsure if they will receive the vaccine.
A polio survivor, the Republican senator from Kentucky said he understands "both the fear of a disease and the extraordinary promise of hope that vaccines bring" but hopes that Americans will accept the vaccine.
"Even with a vaccine, I will continue following CDC guidelines by wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and washing my hands frequently," McConnell said. "I would strongly encourage everyone to continue following these important guidelines. It is the only way we will defeat COVID-19 once and for all."

McConnell is the latest of a number of prominent politicians who are planning on receiving the vaccine to boost public confidence in the shot that was produced in record timing.
Earlier this month, former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton volunteered to publicly receive the vaccine to show the vaccine is safe. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President Mike Pence also followed suit earlier this week.
"I don't want to get ahead of the line, but I want to make sure we demonstrate to the American people that it is safe to take," Biden told reporters Wednesday. "When I do it, I'll do it publicly, so you can all witness my getting it done."

Their menu was interesting, in that they incorporated a variety of flavours. Offering salads, grilled items to your usually pub food, pastas burgers, curries and seafood. The service was extremely fast and the quality of the foods were comforting! I left quite full and I was digging the flavour of their curry. The pepper squid was to die for, the mayonnaise and lime that came with it, was a tasty blend.

or comment about a recent service?
We purchased an Annual Pest Control package and this was treatment #1 out of 4. He treated the attic, interior of our home, garage, and exterior of our home. The technician was on time, very polite, knowledgeable, and detail oriented. We are new to the region and he gave us some great tips and advice on keeping our home pest free. We will continue to use them in the future.
They were good. They follow up on schedule request. They have been very prompt in getting out there and taking care of it. They do a good job. I thought the pricing was reasonable.
All went well. When contacting Joanne, she explained two procedures to me and I felt that I wasn't being gouged for the more expensive treatment. After detailing her what was going on around my home, she advised that I didn't need certain procedures. Ruben came to my home during the scheduled hours and couldn't have been more pleasant to deal with. He explained the process and told me what would happen in the days / weeks to come. Overall, he worked so efficiently that I didn't even realize he was done. (He even changed out my light bulb in the attic as it was burned !).
They came out on time, called before coming out as requested. Our tech was knowledgable and actually took time to answer my questions in detail. Very pleased with the service done and great customer service which you don't really find anymore.
So extremely nice and professional. Go out of their way in regards to customer service. Will continue to use them.
They performed a termite treatment and it went great. I would highly recommend this company and will use them again.
Got some termite prevention treatment. Technician was prompt, efficient, and had a strong knowledge base in the field of pest control. 10/10 would recommend and use again.
It was excellent and we are very happy with it. They were proactive in making the appointments and showed up on time. The technicians are very good. They also called me to remind me of the appointment which I appreciated.

In short, we impact one child at a time by advocating for all.


I don't, strictly speaking, remember the first drum corps show I ever played. Frankly, I'm surprised that after three years of at least thirty shows per summer I can differentiate any but the most important shows at this point, so it's really no surprise to me that that first show ever has slipped away into the murky mists of memory. But I do remember the first show I marched during my last season; I think there is something special about your ageout year that causes you to take note of every event, so I do very clearly remember my last first show.
You want to imagine a season's first show as a glorious melding of training and adrenaline that results in a superb performance, a heralding of the imminently successful season to come. In reality, it's nerve-wracking. You haven't screwed up enough times in rehearsal to know how to react to every possible adverse circumstance; the show still feels uncomfortable in places, like a new pair of shoes that isn't quite broken in. I've never forgotten what my first corps director told me before our first show in 2001: "You have to just hope that you can play the whole thing from start to finish, without the drum major having to start over." And in reality, that's the truth. If you can begin at 'A' and end at 'B' together – and, in your mind at least, there's an even chance that you won't – then you've had a successful first show. By the time I started my ageout year I had previously marched somewhere between 65 and 70 drum corps shows; never mind the marching band and indoor drum line performances. You'd think I'd know by then how to slip into that special performance mode that allows you to think of nothing but the show for 10 minutes solid. But the nerves and uncertainty that go along to the first show – in uniform, in front of people who have paid to watch you play – produce this special kind of otherworldly attentiveness that I can only describe as being similar to an out-of-body experience: You are conscious of every note struck, every foot placed, every smile, every time you look up, each crowd reaction. Most of the time, I get to the end of a performance and only remember the uncomfortable spots: bad notes, ensemble tears, dirty moments. The rest slips by in the contented oblivion of execution and adrenaline. During a first show, however, you are aware of everything that happens for the duration of the performance. Afterward you are relieved, jubilant even, because it's done and you don't have to do it again this season. A good performance produces a certain euphoria, the product of the special relationship between a dedicated player and a receptive audience that is a bit like riding in a convertible on a perfect summer afternoon, or skiing through thick, fresh powder. Finishing a first show, though, produces a feeling that is a lot like running three miles in the muggy Southern midday: You're glad you did it, but you're mostly glad it's done! There is one thing that is very, very special about a first show, though. It's a moment many rookies and hopefuls cite as the fulfillment of a drum corps dream: the first time you hear the announcer say, "On the field, from (hometown of corps), the (drum corps name)!" I remember clearly the first time I heard an announcer introduce the Glassmen – it was a moment for which I'd been waiting months. It never got old hearing it as the summer went on, but the first time I heard it was like a giant payoff. Somehow the discomfort and fatigue all becomes insignificant in the moment the show starts. And when it's your first show ever, the most beautiful thing of all occurs: once it's over, you are no longer a drum corps rookie. You've survived not only camps, cuts and everyday rehearsals, but also a real show experience. You've earned your uniform and the respect that goes with it, and now you can truthfully say that you've marched in a drum corps. Pretty soon the corps routine seems like an old hat, and you shrug off its insanities in conversations with your friends back home as if ten minutes of marching and playing madness is, well, child's play. Maybe that's the true magic of a first show: the 10-minute transformation from terrified rookie to assured veteran. Congrats to all of this year's rookies for surviving their own first shows. It only gets better from here! Emily Tannert is a music education/percussion performance major at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, La., and holds a journalism degree from Northwestern University.

Edwina Beveridge runs a mixed farming operation in New South Wales, Australia. At any given time, she has some 2,200 pigs on site - which adds up to a lot of methane. By investing in a methane digestion system, she now turns it into energy.
From the treatment of organical waste they obtain high caloric content compost and also insect maggots, rich in proteins, that can be used for animal feeding or to produce insects oils competing with fish oil and that can be used to obtain Omega's 3, 6 and 7.
A new and interactive tool released by FAO allows farmers, policy makers and scientists to calculate meat, milk and eggs production as well as greenhouse-gas emissions from livestock to make the sector more productive and more climate-friendly.
A team of pig consultants working in the Low-Carbon Pig Breeding project has been visiting pig farms in Mato Grosso.
The Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model provides detailed data on animal numbers, production and emissions.
The sustainable pig production with low carbon emissions to the atmosphere will be one of the priorities for the Ministry of Agriculture of Brazil in 2015 within the ABC (Low Carbon Emission Agriculture) Plan.

Healthcare Industry News: continuous glucose monitor
Devices Monitoring Endocrinology Personnel
Sensors for Medicine and Science, Inc. Names Dr. Paul Strumph as Chief Medical Officer
GERMANTOWN, Md., Feb. 2 -- (Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network) -- Sensors for Medicine and Science, Inc., a clinical-stage, medical device company pioneering breakthrough technology that could dramatically improve glucose monitoring for people with diabetes, today announced the appointment of Dr. Paul Strumph as the company's Chief Medical Officer.
Dr. Strumph was most recently Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. At JDRF, his responsibilities included overseeing the clinical research portfolio and providing direction on clinical programs for JDRF's therapeutic areas, and providing guidance to JDRF on regulatory policy and therapeutic delivery issues, such as reimbursement and provider acceptance. He was also a member of the four-person Research Senior Management Team that set Research Strategy, and validated Program Area strategies and execution.
Prior to JDRF, Dr. Strumph held leadership positions in Clinical and Medical Affairs with Bristol-Myers Squibb & Co., Merck KGaA and GlaxoSmithKline, including clinical development of products in the therapeutic areas of diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. This experience included advancing therapeutic compounds through Phase I IV clinical studies.
Prior to entering industry, Dr. Strumph was a practicing endocrinologist and Clinical Assistant Professor at the UNC Department of Medicine. He received his medical degree with distinction in research, from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and is a diplomate of boards in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, Pediatrics, and Pediatric Endocrinology.
"I am delighted to join Sensors for Medicine and Science and contribute to the development of this groundbreaking technology," said Dr. Strumph. "A long-term, continuous monitor that is sufficiently accurate to replace regular finger stick testing and does not require frequent calibration would be a major technical and clinical accomplishment. Successful clinical development and commercialization of the Company's unique implanted glucose monitor could significantly improve the lives of people with diabetes."
"Paul is a great addition to our management team," said Marc Schneebaum, President & CEO of Sensors for Medicine and Science. "His distinguished reputation in the adult and pediatric diabetes communities and his extensive clinical and regulatory experience at all stages will be a perfect complement to our scientific team as we advance our long-term, implanted glucose monitor through clinical development and to commercialization. Moreover, his hands-on experience with glucose monitoring and insulin delivery technology should help us shape the product for optimal use by both people with diabetes and their physicians."
Sensors for Medicine and Science's lead product is a long-term, implanted continuous glucose monitor* based on its unique and proprietary sensor technology. This product includes a miniaturized sensor and an external reader. The sensor is inductively powered and remotely interrogated, so there is no battery on-board and no wires connecting the implanted sensor to the external reader. As a result, after implantation, the sensor functions noninvasively, painlessly, automatically, and continuously. Distinctive features include:
The sensor is designed to deliver accuracy that the Company believes could enable the product to replace regular finger stick monitoring.
The sensor is designed to deliver accurate results even when glucose levels are low, and when glucose levels are changing rapidly. Accurate performance in these two situations is crucial to people with diabetes, and have proved to be particular challenges for competing devices.
The Company is targeting an implant period of up to one year, along with extended stability of calibration.
The Company plans to continue pilot clinical studies during 2010, and to initiate a pivotal clinical study in 2011.
About Sensors for Medicine and Science, Inc.
Sensors for Medicine and Science, Inc. is pioneering breakthrough technology that could dramatically improve glucose monitoring for people with diabetes. The Company believes that its long-term, continuous glucose monitor technology has the potential to replace regular finger stick monitoring.

Summertime in Columbus means festivals, parades and celebrations. What better event than Columbus Arts Festival to kick off Six-Word Memoirs' most recent project, Six in the City: Columbus. With a big thank you to our Columbus-based corporate sponsor, Express, people were invited to come up with their six words on Columbus, write it down, and jump in the photo booth to become a part of the big picture. As each individual photo was printed and posted to the "Express Yourself in Six Words" wall, a collective story about one city was told.
Just as any Columbus resident could expect, the festival went from blisteringly hot to drenched in rain within minutes. In no time, the Six-Word Memoirs tent became a gathering space for people looking to take shelter from the rain while sharing their Six in the City memoirs on Columbus.
As more people stopped to tell their story, the walls filled with pictures, eventually helping tell the Columbus story through the eyes of children, parents, couples, students, and Columbus fans old and new. With this enthusiastic, creative and overwhelming response, Six in the City has sparked the Columbus conversation, and will be working to keep that conversation strong with upcoming events and meet-ups.
Want to get involved in Six in the City: Columbus?

Salvia splendens is a hardy plant, bushy in composition with erect growth and wide range of size. It has dense foliage, broad heart- shaped glossy leaves having pointed ends and white hair underside. The flowers are borne above the foliage on long terminal spikes 15-25cm in length which are thick, tubular and elongated at the tip.
The plant requires protection from frost, therefore must be sown under shady location and protected from the north and west direction. Pinching at an early stage makes the plant compact and bushy. Blooming after 90-100 days gives a gorgeous effect when sown against evergreen plantation. Continuous removal of dead spikes forms fresh branches and flowers. A regular dose of fertilizer is beneficial but an over-dose of nitrogenous fertilizer yields poor results. Seeds are sown in March- April and September- october in the northern hills, while in moderate climate of South they are sown in June Where it is possible to reap a second flush when the plants are cut back.
The striking beaytiful flower are best suited to areas with partial sunlight. Many varieties are available in different size and colour.

As the football playoffs approach, I think of the saying "defense wins' championships." The same can be said about businesses. It is much easier to stay out of legal trouble, then have to pay me, or any other business attorney to defend against a lawsuit. According to the SBA, a business related lawsuit can cost a business $50,000 – $100,000 to defend. In most cases, the lawsuit could have been prevented in the first place; had the business consulted with an attorney first.
This leads me to the topic of this article…budgeting for legal services.
Contracts: Does your business routinely enter into contracts with other businesses, vendors, contractors, or customers? Does your business offer warranties, or have a written return policy?
Employees: Does your business intend to hire an employee, or fire one? Do you have a written employee manual? Do you call your employees contractors so you don't have to do withholding?
Shareholders: Does your business intend to bring on new shareholders or partners? Do you intend to loan money to the business or buy out a shareholder or partner?
Company Growth: Are you looking to expand your business and purchase new assets, or bring on new investors?
Trademark/copyright: Do you own a trademark or are you considering registering a trademark? Does your business produce original written works on behalf of clients, such as web copy, or architectural plans?
Incorporation: Are you a sole proprietor (not incorporated)? Are you operating your partnership or corporation without a written partnership or shareholder agreement that outlines all the duties and obligations of the parties?
If you answered yes to any of the questions listed in the categories above, then you are going to need an attorney at some time during the year, and you should consider budgeting legal services.
Now, how much should you budget? That depends. Typically, a small business with fewer than 5 employees can get by with a budget around $2,000 to $3,000 a year, but that number can change based on the businesses needs and the law firm the business chooses. At Grantham Law, we offer a free business review. During this review, we will meet with business owners and discuss what the business plans are for the upcoming year and work on a budget plan that will best benefit the business. For more information, feel free to call us today and set up an appointment.
