What is CTE? Local brain expert weighs in

WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) — Chronic traumatic encephalopathy–or CTE–is a degenerative brain disease in which the brain deteriorates in a way similar to Alzheimer's.
"That happens when there's multiple head trauma, generally occurring over time," said Dr. William White, a brain expert at Brain in Play International in Warwick.
Dr. White says what jumped out at him the most about Hernandez was the fact that his brain showed such an advance stage of the disease at just 27 years old.
"Normally we would not expect to see a stage 3 CTE neuropathology until someone was older, maybe in their 50s or 60s," said White.
The disease can result in cognitive issues–such as lack of focus or headaches–and in some cases can affect a person's mood.
"There have been cases of acute suicidal thoughts and even actions," said White.
In Hernandez's case, attorney Jose Baez suggested if the former Patriot had known he had CTE, it could have saved his life.
"Our client may have been able to understand what was happening to him, and that could have ultimately prevented his death," said White.
Dr. White says he's seen numerous cases of CTE in NFL players, all the way down to the high school level. So what can players and parents do to prevent it?
"I think to be very involved. If there is a concussion, make sure your child is worked up as much as possible at a medical center. Make a referral to post-concussive care. And just educate yourself as much as possible. We certainly want to prevent at all costs children from having multiple concussive incidents," said White.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked Friday what steps he takes to inform his players of the dangers of CTE when they join the team.
Belichick responded saying the team's medical staff covers "a lot of things."

What is a Laparoscopic Colon Resection?
A laparoscopic colectomy is effectively a minimally invasive version of a conventional colectomy. Instead of using a long incision on the abdomen, a laparoscopic colectomy will require the surgeon to make several small incisions, allowing for less recovery time. The operation on the inside will still be the same as a conventional colectomy.
What happens during a Laparoscopic Colon Resection?
After creating a small incision in the abdomen, your surgeon will enter a small port into the hole in order to pump carbon dioxide inside and create more space. A tiny telescope connected to a camera, known as a laparoscope, is then inserted through the port, allowing the surgeon to see a highly magnified version of your internal organs.
Additional ports will be inserted via separate incisions to allow the surgeon to work in different areas inside your abdomen. As the section of the colon that needs to be removed is freed, one of the incisions will be enlarged to remove the colon. After this, the surgeon will reconnect the remaining ends of the colon, and then close the incisions using sutures.
For more information about a laparoscopic colon resection, contact one of our colorectal specialists at one of our Kansas City locations by calling (816) 941-0800.

Research has shown that ghrelin, also known as the hunger hormone, is impacted by sleep patterns and weight loss surgery.
Today's post is contributed by Malcolm K. Robinson, MD, FACS, Director of the Nutrition Support Service at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), Laura Andromalos, MS, RD, LDN, Bariatric Nutrition Manager at BWH, and Hassan S. Dashti, PhD, a dietetic intern at BWH.
Have you ever thought about what makes you feel hungry or full? There are many signals in the body that help to control the amount of food we eat. Ghrelin, which is sometimes called the hunger hormone, is one of these signals.
Research has shown that both sleep patterns and bariatric surgery* (weight loss surgery) impact ghrelin, too. Sleep-deprived adults tend to have higher ghrelin levels, more hunger, and less feeling of fullness compared to adults who get seven-to-nine hours of sleep. Bariatric surgery changes stomach and intestinal hormone levels, including ghrelin. This decrease in ghrelin levels after metabolic and bariatric surgery helps with short-term weight loss because patients feel less hungry.
*Bariatric surgery is generally available for patients with a body mass index of 40 or above; patients with a body mass index of 35 or above with two obesity-related disorders (such as diabetes, sleep apnea, heart disease, etc.); and patients who are more than 100 pounds overweight.


Yeah this one's a little bit special. Sonic Pieces have long set themselves apart from the plethora of home-spun, hand-made, overly-serene imprints out there, both in terms of their exquisite packaging but more importantly via their patient, hand-picked selection of some of the finest avant-classical, drone and experimental yet accessible music out there.
And this new release - from the largely unknown Jasmine Guffond - really stands out as their best release yet. You may or may not have come across Guffond's other projects - Jasmina Maschina or Minit - but this debut album under her own name is something else entirely. in the space of the opening 20 minutes Guffond takes us from utterly brilliant drone/bass-treatments reminiscent of Jim O'Rourke's finest, most dense electronic work, to the kind of lump-in-the-throat bare-boned songs Grouper has more or less made her own these last few years.
The production here is just incredibly good - an absolute masterclass in restraint through the arrangements, and fearlessness through her use of frequencies - taking you through emotional and sonic highs and lows without ever sounding contrived. It takes us back to Julia Holter's early material for NNA Tapes, weaving in and out of field recordings and intense bassline oscillations through to the gentlest lullabies - a fully formed suite of songs that we'd be really surprised if we didn't hear much more about over the coming years. It really is a remarkable debut this - keep 'em peeled for this one.

Symptoms–Small Scaling Spots
For some people with psoriasis, instead of getting plaques that form on the skin, they experience small scaling spots.
How can psoriasis cause small scaling spots?
Small scaling spots are caused by a type of psoriasis called guttate psoriasis. Like other forms of psoriasis, guttate psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes symptoms on the skin called plaques. In plaque psoriasis, which is the most common form of the condition, the plaques are usually larger and are thickened, red, and covered with a layer of silvery scales1.
What is guttate psoriasis?
In guttate psoriasis, however, the plaques that appear are different than the ones caused by plaque psoriasis. Guttate psoriasis causes red or salmon-pink spots that are shaped like little teardrops or raindrops. The word guttate comes from the Latin word for drop. The spots are quite small; each is usually less than 10 millimeters wide. The spots are often covered with a very thin, fine layer of scale2.
People with the condition may have just a few spots on one part of the body, or they may have hundreds of these spots all over the body. The spots can occur anywhere on the skin but usually occur on the chest, stomach, back, arms, and legs. The scalp, ears, and face are also common locations for these spots, which are also called lesions. These lesions may often appear very quickly over a few days. The lesions are sometimes but not always itchy2.
How common are small scaling spots as a symptom of guttate psoriasis?
Guttate psoriasis affects about 10% of people who have psoriasis. It is the second most common form of the condition, after plaque psoriasis, which affects 80% to 90% of psoriasis patients1. Guttate psoriasis is more common among children and among adults younger than 30 years of age3. People who have had guttate psoriasis are slightly more likely to develop plaque psoriasis in the future. A person can have guttate psoriasis at the same time as having plaque psoriasis or some other form of psoriasis4.
What are the possible causes of small scaling spots?
Most people develop the small scaling spots of guttate psoriasis after they have had an infection. It can take up to a couple of weeks after the infection for the symptoms of guttate psoriasis to develop. Strep throat, an upper respiratory infection, is the most common trigger. Fungal and viral infections can also trigger an outbreak of guttate psoriasis1.
Other people develop guttate psoriasis after taking certain types of medications, such as2:
Anti-malaria drugs
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which include common painkillers such as aspirin or ibuprofen
What are treatment options for guttate psoriasis?
For some people, a flare up of guttate psoriasis lesions will go away after a few weeks or months without any treatment needed, but others need treatment for the symptoms. These may include2:
Prescription or over-the-counter topical medicines
Antibiotics to treat the infection that caused the flare up
Vitamin D or Vitamin A analog medicines
Systemic medicines that affect the immune system, such as immunosuppressants or biologic therapies
Guttate psoriasis is unlike other types of psoriasis in that many people who have an outbreak never have another flare up, although some people will. Treating an infection, such as strep throat, with antibiotics as quickly as possible is the best way to prevent small scaling spots from forming3

Construction worker recovering after being hit on 10 Mile; Farmington Hills police need help in tracking down suspect.
Farmington Hills police are investigating a hit-and-run accident that injured a construction worker in a work zone.
The accident happened at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 27 on 10 Mile, just east of Orchard Lake Road. The victim was hit in a construction zone and is recovering from serious injuries, according to police.
Described as a burnt-orange SUV, possibly a Ford Escape or an Explorer, the suspect vehicle was headed east on 10 Mile from Orchard Lake Road at the time of the accident. After striking the construction worker, police said the SUV continued eastbound toward Middlebelt.
The suspect vehicle would likely have damage to the front passenger side, police said.
Anyone with information on this accident is asked to contact Traffic Safety Section Officer Brian Rohrer at 248-871-2641.

I've purchased that set two years ago on Crisis in Antwerp together with two other sets (one with Norman foot soldiers and one with Saxon Huscarls). I've posted two pictures on November 26th of last year in 'what are you working on' reference Hastings. They were probably left overs of an earlier batch. It's good to see that they are released again.
Yes and with the figures sculptured by Alex this range/period could be interesting for many collectors I think. Generally I am more to the medieval period but some figures could be used.
Medieval and dark ages are anyway my preferred time periods in history, so this is simply perfect.
Not fair!!!! Another very nice looking set!! How can I ever get to paint them all ??

Lifta's legacy under threat
Antoine Raffoul The Electronic Intifada 31 August 2010
Lifta village (Aisha Mershani)
There are few villages in historic Palestine which invoke the memories of the Nakba (the 1948 dispossession of the Palestinian people) as does Lifta. Beautifully built and dressed in crafted Jerusalem stone, Lifta hugs the slopes straddling the highway leading from west Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. Its remaining houses look like jewels of a necklace, neglected by time and polished by the wind of history.
However, Lifta's architectural legacy is under threat as Israel moves to Judaize the formerly pluralistic Palestinian village.
Lifta dates back about 4,000 years, and overlooks Wadi Salman and Wadi al-Shami which, in their heyday, provided it with its main water supply essential for its agricultural produce. Believed to have been built on the site of Mey Neftoach, a source of water near Jerusalem, Lifta is still blessed today by a running creek and a small peaceful pond in its midst.
Back in 1596, Lifta had a population of 396 residents which by 1945 increased to 2,550 Palestinians the majority of whom were Muslims owning 7,780 dunums (one dunum is approximately 1,000 square meters). Official records indicate that in 1931, the number of houses stood at 410, most of which were built by Lifta's Palestinian residents using the famous Jerusalem stone from nearby quarries. Some of these houses stand at two and three stories high and display the cubist forms against the rolling hillside. They represent today some of the finest examples of Palestinian craftsmanship and architectural design.
During the 1940s and leading up to the end of the British Mandate in Palestine in 1948, Lifta expanded markedly eastward and northward linking with the buildings of the Rumayma neighborhood just west of Jerusalem. Its economic ties with Jerusalem became strong as nearly half of Lifta's cultivated land was planted with cereal, wheat, barley, olives and various fruits.
Prior to the tragic events of 1948, Lifta's ethnic mix was made up predominantly of the Muslims with a colored mix of Christian and Jewish minorities. This resulted in a strong sense of community life with a well-knit social bonding which was particular to Lifta. Documents describe some of the grand houses in Lifta as being shared by Jewish and Muslim families who, on occasions, would exchange local produce such as cheese and milk in addition to other products which would be sold in the local market. Also, the children of Lifta families from different backgrounds frequented the same village schools and enjoyed their time out in the same playgrounds. Lifta enjoyed an intricate web of woven streets, bustling with markets, coffee houses, a bakery and a pharmacy. Lifta residents had free access to the neighboring Jewish eye hospital. Community life in Lifta was, therefore, inclusive rather exclusive.
It is also known that Lifta residents celebrated their religious festivities together in the main square. Local mosques became the hub centers for discussions of social and cultural issues of the day.
The ethnic cleansing of Lifta
Lifta's tranquility and social harmony were tragically ended when, on the heels of UN Resolution 181 of November 1947, and as part of the Zionist Plan Dalet for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, the Jewish armed militia Stern Gang entered Lifta on 28 December 1947, made their way to the local coffee house in the center of the village and gunned down six residents and injured seven others. Within 10 days, Lifta was turned into a ghost town with all 2,960 terrorized inhabitants being driven out and trucked to East Jerusalem where most of them remained. Quite a number of the village houses and the two elementary schools were demolished. Only after last desperate pleas by local dignitaries were most of the houses standing today saved from total destruction.
The uprooting of Lifta was a tragedy for all its mutli-ethnic population. The Nakba of Lifta was a catastrophe for Muslims, Christians and Jews. It has been told that the Jewish Hilo tribe which lived in the upper hills of Lifta were given the option by the advancing Jewish militia, the Stern Gang, to remain in Lifta, but they decided to join the Liftawis in their exodus, and left.
In the years since their expulsion, most of the Lifta refugees and their descendants ended up in Jerusalem, Ramallah, the rest of the West Bank, Jordan and the US where they formed a tightly-knit and active community in Chicago, Illinois.
Lifta's architectural legacy
Until recently, the remaining houses of Lifta attracted an inquisitive number of locals and professionals mesmerized by the haunting elegance of their design, their original forms and the majesty of their setting. Tourists from abroad would arrive on organized tours led by one of Lifta's original residents, Yacoub Odeh, who would painfully yet proudly narrate to them the village history and its eventual demise pointing in particular to the house where his family lived and which he himself as a child helped to construct. Until recently, some Liftawis would arrive from Jerusalem to venture down the winding rubble path to the main open square of the village. They would sit by the pool and fill their bottles with the pure spring water while exchanging memorable stories with those willing to listen. Until recently, the magnificent Lifta houses displayed one of the most beautiful forms of Arabic architecture: the dome. The cubic forms of the houses contrasted beautifully with the elegant curves of the domed roofs.
It is told that all the builders of Lifta did not use mortar or cement to bond their stones together. The dry construction process was made possible through the exacting techniques employed by the local stonemasons. They chiseled pristine and fine forms in stone to build their arches, square angles, external corners, quadrants, double and stepped arches. Most of the windows in these houses were sheltered by these fine arches and displayed perfect and well-proportioned rectangles of the type only modern architects can produce on their computers.
Until recently, Lifta's heart was beating and its heartbeat was sustained by the visits of its original inhabitants. However, extremist Jewish settlers began to move in, while the original Liftawi visitors were blocked out. In a last attempt at architectural rape, and to ensure that the remaining Lifta houses would never be inhabited again, the settlers began to demolish some of the elegant domes thus exposing the living spaces below them to the external elements. Slowly, the tourists stopped coming down the hillside to visit Lifta and their tour guides had to be content with looking down at the village from the main roadside higher up the slopes. Then more Jewish settlers arrived and became the new hippie "squatters." Occasional "religious seminars" were initiated by them to give their activity a sense of legitimacy.
Lifta today remains a ghost town suspended in time. Yet its elegance remains defiant and a symbol of the destruction of the Palestinian village during the Zionist military sweep in 1948. Lifta has become a symbol of the Palestinian Nakba. In its present state, it shouts at us for recognition and for attention.
Israel's plans for Lifta
In June 2004, the Jerusalem Municipality Planning Committee, with the help of two architectural offices, G. Kartas/S Grueg and S Ahronson (in collaboration with Ze'ev Temkin of TIK Projects), produced a redevelopment project (Plan No. 6036) to turn Lifta into an exclusively Jewish luxury residential/commercial neighborhood. This plan, originally launched in April 1984 under the name "Plan 2351" but never implemented, had the intriguing title of "The Spring of National." It was later approved by a regional planning committee. Under the misleading cover title of a preservation project, the plan called for the building of some 245 luxury housing units, a big shopping mall, a tourist resort, a museum and a luxury 120-room hotel. Most of the existing Lifta houses would be destroyed to erase any lingering memory of a once thriving Palestinian community. Even the Palestinian cemetery nearby does not figure in the new plan. Not only have the present Liftawis not been featured or consulted, but the memory and physical presence of their dead ancestors would now be erased.
This attempt at architectural and cultural erasure in the Israeli proposals for reshaping Lifta has its equivalent in the present day work by the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center to build a Museum of Tolerance over part of the Muslim Cemetery in Mamilla not far from Lifta. In a shameful acknowledgment of the existing fabric of the village, the redevelopment project for Lifta attempts to "preserve" a few houses which would be renovated but only for use by rich Jews from the Diaspora. A few existing trees would be left and some existing landscaping elements such as the spring and the terracing would be given a makeover in a gesture full of pastiche and borrowed imagery.
The history of the Palestinian community that flourished in Lifta does not feature in the new renovation plans. There is no record of Lifta's Palestinian history as would normally be required of any renovation/preservation project, to link the present with the past. Even Lifta's original mosque would be destined for removal to be replaced by a synagogue. If the plan is carried out, it would be nothing but a flagrant attempt to Judaize Lifta.
Saving Lifta
Lifta must be preserved and rebuilt by/for its original owners to raise awareness about the history of 1948. Lifta, in its new image, should pave the way for establishing a determined campaign for truth and reconciliation between two historic peoples. Lifta, in our view, represents the traceable genealogy which gives insight into the origins of the conflict. Peeling the layers of conflict would lead to an acknowledgment of the tragedy and an understanding of its implication on people's identity.
Placing Lifta on the international architectural agenda has been the first objective and the primary aim of one of the most active professional groups involved on behalf of Lifta. This group is The Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territories (FAST), an architectural and planning group based in Amsterdam. Together with Zochrot ("remembering"), a body of Israeli professionals based in Tel Aviv working to raise awareness of the Nakba, they have argued passionately against the renovation plans submitted by the State of Israel, and have called, like FAST, for the right of return of the Liftawis to their homes. It is crucial that this campaign should lead to a change in the Israeli planning policies which are presently based on segregation and discrimination, and to opt for an alternative vision to achieve equality and long-term sustainability. A vision which promotes the idea of a place for Lifta, a sense of belonging for the Liftawis and reconciliation for the region.
Supplementing this campaign, we, at 1948.Lest.We.Forget, launched last year on our website (www.1948.org.uk) a Petition To Save Lifta which attracted more than 2,400 international signatures by people from all walks of life including high profile personalities in academia, architecture and literature. This petition has now closed and will be included as part of our application to the World Monuments Watch to declare Lifta a place of special character.
Moreover, as we believe that Lifta remains a symbol of reconciliation and hope in a region of continued conflict and tragedy, it is our intention to launch an International Architectural Competition with an open-ended brief, and to invite registered planners and architects from all over the world to contribute ideas and to produce schemes for one of the Lifta houses still standing.
The competition results will be exhibited in major capitals of the world, the first of which will be London where, over a period of four weeks, seminars, films, audio-visual presentations and debates will be held.

Rays, St. Pete end talks to split home games with Montreal before 2028

St. Petersburg mayor Rick Kriseman says talks are over between the city and the Tampa Bay Rays about the team splitting home games with another location before their lease at Tropicana Field expires at the end of 2027.
"Both parties have agreed that the best path forward is to abide by the existing use agreement with the understanding that the agreement allows for the Rays organization to explore post-2027 split or full-season opportunities, both in St. Petersburg and elsewhere," Kriseman wrote in a memo to the city council.
Kriseman also noted the Rays will not be pursuing future stadium options in the Tampa Bay area.
"Please also know that team officials have declined my offer, made in the spirit of regionalism, to renew the recent memorandum of understanding that had allowed the Rays to explore 'full-time' stadium locations through the Tampa Bay regions, including Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa," he added.
Major League Baseball gave the Rays permission in June to explore the idea of splitting home games between Tampa Bay and Montreal due to continuing attendance issues. However, Kriseman and league commissioner Rob Manfred said at the time that the team needed to honor the lease agreement.
Rays principal owner Stu Sternberg said previously that he could see the plan coming into effect as early as 2024, according to ESPN.
"We agree generally with Mayor Kriseman's characterization of our months of conversations, though we would like to clarify two points," Sternberg said in a statement. "First, we do not agree that this is the best path forward. Second, we asked for the opportunity to explore this concept with both St. Petersburg and Montreal, and with Tampa and Montreal.
"We recognize that we must now consider our post-2027 options and all that entails, and we remain steadfast in our belief that the sister city concept is deserving of serious consideration."
Stephen Bronfman, son of former Montreal Expos owner Charles Bronfman and leader of the group working to bring the Rays to Quebec, isn't prepared to give up on the idea yet, either.
"We remain steadfastly committed to the sister city concept with the Tampa Bay Rays and its realization in as timely a fashion as possible," Bronfman said in a statement to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. "Our group continues to be excited by the proposed innovative concept. We will have no further comment at this time."
Montreal hasn't hosted a major-league team since the Expos left for Washington after the 2004 season, although the Toronto Blue Jays have played exhibition games at Olympic Stadium over the last several years.

Efforts to get the Midstate Corridor — a bypass road that would ultimately connect Dubois County to I-69 — built are ongoing.
The regional development authority is still being formed with Dubois and Spencer counties, Huntingburg and Jasper.
Also, local attorney Bill Kaiser, who has been involved in helping the counties and cities form the RDA, has been working on the wording of an agreement with the Indiana Department of Transportation. The agreement will be for a feasibility study on the project, which Kaiser called a Tier 1 study.
The Midstate Corridor group has been working to get a four-lane, limited-access highway that would run north from Owensboro, Kentucky, go around Huntingburg and Jasper and continue north to connect to I-69. That corridor would ease traffic on U.S. 231 between I-64 and I-69 through Dubois, Martin and Spencer counties, organizers have said.
The RDA group, once formed, would ultimately be the entity to enter into the agreement with INDOT.
Who or where that funding would come from is not yet known, Kaiser said. But the recent legislation that allows the area to create an RDA helps.
The State Legislature passed a bill last year that allows municipalities participating in a regional development authority to create a fund specifically for regional infrastructure projects and contribute local money to those funds. The legislation also permits these RDAs to apply for federal FASTLANE grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation, which fund road and bridge projects. The bill was developed and authored by State Sen. Mark Messmer, R-Jasper, and then-Rep. Mike Braun, R-Jasper, and supported locally by governments and businesses, including the Midstate Corridor group.
Members for the five-person Regional Development Authority committee are being sought. Members cannot be an elected official nor a government employee.
The Dubois County Commissioners said at their meeting Tuesday that they planned to suggest people to be on the committee. All municipalities involved are doing the same, Kaiser said.
The executive branches of each government — the commissioners and mayors — all have to approve of the entire committee in writing, according to state statute.
Kaiser hopes the committee is selected and the agreement with INDOT is completed within the next three months. The Tier 1 study will take about three years to complete.
He added that all the effort will be worth it in the long run.

The King's College to Host Western Civilization Challenge Bowl with the James Madison Program at Princeton, the Abigail Adams Institute at Harvard and Grove City College
Jan 19, 2019 | Lifestyle
On January 25 and 26, 2019, The King's College will host the 2nd Annual American History and Western Civilization Challenge Bowl™, sponsored by the American Heritage Education Foundation.
NEW YORK, NY, January 19, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ — On January 25 and 26, 2019, The King's College will host the 2nd Annual American History and Western Civilization Challenge Bowl™, sponsored by the American Heritage Education Foundation. The King's College, the James Madison Program at Princeton University, the Abigail Adams Institute at Harvard University and Grove City College will contribute the four participating teams. Dr. Joshua Kinlaw, assistant professor of history and humanities, will serve as coach to the King's team, comprising Elle Rogers (PHL '19), Michael Napoli (PPE '19) and Abby Smith (PPE Dec '19). Free tickets and details on how to watch the livestream are available on Eventbrite.
Jack Kamrath, co-founder and vice president of the American Heritage Education Foundation, says, "The American Heritage Education Foundation started the challenge bowl to address a growing problem—the increasing deficiency in and need for strong civic education in our nation's schools, culture and society. This competition aims to address that lack by improving students' understanding, appreciation and love of the American experiment. We wanted to reward students for their knowledge of subjects like American History, the Enlightenment, the Reformation, Greek History and the Bible while spurring others to consider these ideas with renewed energy."
The 2nd AHWCCB™ will have two semi-final matches during the evening of Friday, January 25: Grove City College v. the James Madison Program at Princeton University, and The King's College v. the Abigail Adams Institute at Harvard University. The final match between the two semi-final winners will take place on January 26 at 2:00 p.m. Both semi-final rounds and the final round will be open to the public. All events will take place in The King's College City Room at 56 Broadway.
The competition will follow the format of the 1960s-1970s General Electric College Bowl (a general knowledge competition) and the current, ongoing University Challenge quiz competition in Great Britain. Three-person teams will compete against each other on a point system for correctly answering questions and providing oral essay presentations on a subject critical to America's founding. This year's oral essay question asks students to discuss the philosophical and historical roots of a constitutional, rather than authoritarian, form of government.
Cash awards will be presented to all participating team members. The quiz bowl questions will require team members to demonstrate mastery of theory and principles as well as dates, times, places, individuals, and events in the fields of American history, Western civilization and civics. View full details on the event and register as an audience member.
The first AHWCCB™ was held in Houston, Texas on January 26-27, 2017 and was won by Sam Houston State University over Houston Baptist University, Texas State University, and Texas Southern University.
The American History and Western Civilization Challenge Bowl™ is sponsored by the American Heritage Education Foundation, Inc., 3100 Weslayan, Ste. 375, Houston, Texas 77027-5731. Contact 713-627-2698 or visit www.americanheritage.org with any questions.

A cautionary tale to all men. Don't forget the charging cable for you GPS unless you want a photographic tour and detour of wherever it is you might be trying to get to.

Does the area around your outdoor pool look drab and plain? Do you want to make this outdoor recreation space more inviting? Let's face it in summer your poolside can be the focal point of family living, so it needs to be inviting and relaxing.
An easy way to spruce your pool area up is to add some poolside plants. The greenery can provide shade and in the very least it helps to reduce the temperature around the pool – especially if it is predominantly concrete, to begin with.
Before you get started there are some things that you need to think about when choosing the right plants for you. Think about what you want to be the final result and use that to help determine the best greenery for your needs.
Hardiness: the plants you choose need to be able to put up with either chlorinated or salty water depending on the type of pool that you have. They also need to tolerate wear in areas that are likely to experience lots of foot traffic.
Maintenance: maintaining poolside plants can take up your time especially in hotter weather. You can offset this with low maintenance or artificial plants so you spend more time enjoying your pool rather than taking care of it. Any plants that grow low to the ground, plant around 6-8 feet back from the edge of the pool to avoid debris dropping into the pool. Trees that are deciduous (any plant that loses it leaves) or have spines/cones are not recommended.
Privacy: use greenery to turn your poolside into a private space to relax. Pick screening plants and place them strategically for maximum effect.
Space: the amount of space that you have available for planting will affect the plants you use. If the area is small, consider using hanging or climbing plants, or even pots.
Climate: It is important to choose plants that suit your climate; so they can withstand the weather and climatic conditions.
What are the best plants to put around a pool?
When you are looking at pool landscaping plants, the types of plants you have to choose from will depend on the water in your pool.
Once you have chosen the plants for your poolside area its time to consider different ways that you can landscape. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Clean lines: Use plants that have interesting foliage to create a stylish area to fit your home. Keep it to monotones of green with a featured fig tree and a lush ground cover to complete the look. Fig trees are ideal for areas where privacy is a must.
Home resort: create the chic look of a resort in the comfort of your backyard. Try using planters with dark foliage that contrast with magnolias, and giant lilyturf covering the ground.
Multi-level planting: if the area is steep around your pool you can adopt a tired approach. Segment the area into the different levels and choose plants that will stand out at each level. Try different colourings to create a vibrant display.
Create a tropical feel: you may not live in a tropical area but you can bring that exotic atmosphere to your backyard. Tropical plants around pools give it that great I am on holiday atmosphere.
Some plants have the potential to damage your pool area with their root systems. Bamboo, umbrella trees and rubber trees can cause problems with underground plumbing and your paving. Avoid these in your landscaping plan to ensure that you don't create problems in the future.


save, and are not effectively planning ahead to determine and meet long-term goals. To address these problems we need financial services that are accessible, easy to use, and meet people's needs over their lifetime. We also want people to have the skills and motivation to use financial services in ways which ensure they benefit meaningfully from them.
Recent innovations in financial technology ('FinTech') provide significant opportunities to help us to realise this ambition (see the box on the following page). However, the potential for FinTech to deliver cannot be taken for granted and there remain a number of barriers both to fostering the development of innovations that meet the needs of lower income households and small businesses; and in getting successful innovations to scale.
With financial support from the JP Morgan Foundation the Centre for Responsible Credit undertook to examine these issues through a programme of engagement with experts in the US and UK, involving telephone and face to face meetings and the conduct of a virtual workshop hosted using video conferencing technology in JP Morgan Chase offices in San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC, New York and London on 22nd October 2015.
The findings from this project provide a starting point to deliver more collaborative approaches capable of harnessing the knowledge that non-profits and the community finance sector hold about the financial needs and behaviours of lower income households and small businesses and linking this to the technological expertise of the commercial FinTech sector.


Marion Reservoir was placed on a warning for blue-green algae Thursday based on water testing by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Water with high concentrations of blue-green algae can cause illness or even death in humans and animals if they drink enough, and skin contact can cause irritation.
Under a blue-green algae warning, swim beaches are closed, but other facilities may remain open. It is safe to eat fish caught during a harmful blue-green algae outbreak, as long as they are rinsed clean and only the fillet is eaten. People should wash their hands with clean water after handling fish caught during an algae outbreak.
Humans, pets and livestock do not drink lake water.
Water contact is prohibited. Avoid swimming, wading or other activities with full body contact of lake water.
Clean fish and rinse with clean water, consume only the fillet portion, and discard all other parts.
If lake water contacts skin or pet fur, wash with clean potable water as soon as possible.
Avoid areas of visible algae accumulation.
Other lakes on algae warning are Old Herington City Lake, Dickinson County; Logan City Lake, Phillips County; and Memorial/Veterans Lake, Barton County. Lakes on a less severe algae advisory are Lovewell Reservoir, Jewell County; and South Lake, Johnson County.
Samples of water from the reservoir are taken each Monday for testing. KDHE announces advisories and warnings on Thursdays.

Gold Price Dangerously Close to 3-Month Lows as Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Touch All-Time Highs
The price of gold suffered another selloff Monday and headed for its third consecutive loss, as U.S. stocks touched new all-time highs on China trade-deal optimism. Gold for February delivery fell $9.80, or 0.6%, to $1,460.70 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. That's the lowest in almost two weeks.
Bullion is on the precipice of re-testing three-month lows as demand for safe havens continues to fade. Since peaking at more than six-year highs in early September, the yellow metal has plunged by more than $200 an ounce. The selloff in gold had a gravitational pull on silver, with the grey metal falling 14 cents, or 0.8%, to $17.07 an ounce.
Investors are optimistic that a trade deal is on the horizon after President Trump told Fox News Friday that both sides were "potentially very close" on breaking the impasse. Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Beijing is keen on finalizing an agreement based on "mutual respect and equality." It's apparent by the market's reaction Monday that a U.S.-China trade deal has been over-hyped. For starters, negotiators are only optimistic about a 'phase one' deal, which amounts to a freeze on U.S. tariffs in exchange for more agricultural shipments to China. But the Chinese haven't confirmed how much U.S. agricultural goods they would like to buy. The Trump administration has also balked at the possibility of scaling back tariffs without major concessions coming the other way.

Gather, a word that filled my mind this year as I thought about the holidays. In that word, Carly and I were able to create a beautiful, non-traditional "Friendsgiving" dinner focused on gathering. Our friends hold a special place in our hearts and should be a part of our holidays. Our color palette was warm and inviting, but not your traditional fall colors. I loved using the butternut squash as a container and black accents gave it a clean urban feel. Carly and I are thankful for the wonderful vendors that brought their talents to help us. Cravings Catering created a delicious menu (Cherry, Pecan Quinoa and cornish hens-Ah-mazing!) and Event Rents provided such pretty rentals-the muted gold flatware was gorgeous!
Carly captured the details and evening beautifully! I couldn't have done this without her. I loved spending the evening with these fabulous people!

Retrouvaille is an international program for married couples, consisting of a weekend live-in experience combined with a series of 12 post-weekend sessions over 3 months. The program's X-Factor is that it is presented by married couples who have experienced the same problems you are, and who found each other again at Retrouvaille. They "have the t-shirts" and have come back to help you.They open their hearts to you, share their lives with you, and they do so voluntarily. All they ask in return is that you put the same commitment into the program.
The main emphasis of the weekend is on communication between husband and wife. It will give you the opportunity to rediscover each other and examine your lives together in a new and positive way. Communication lines re-established between you, the post sessions which follow will provide you with the practical tools to help put your marriage in order again.
You are beginning to claim that you two were never really in love, although friends and family say you were once crazy about each other.
You complain bitterly to a friend about your spouse's failings, but would tell a therapist that he or she is "kind," or "a good parent."
You complain about your spouse to friends or family, but would be speechless if they suggested thinking about divorce.
You say you want to get on with your life, but have cancelled appointments with a divorce lawyer.
You say you want to work things out with your spouse, but your fantasies about an affair could become very real.
You say you want emotional connection, but if your spouse were unavailable, you would watch TV instead of calling a friend.
You despair that things won't get better, even when you know your spouse is trying to change.
If it is, then Retrouvaille can help you!
The Retrouvaille program works for over 90% of those who commit to working at their marriage. Many of those it worked for, didn't think it could help them. Many of these didn't think their spouse would be willing to put in the same effort, then found later that their spouse thought the same of them...So, call the phone number or send an email to the caring Retrouvaille volunteers in your area. Ask them any of those tough questions that keep nagging at you in the back of your mind.
The people answering the phone or responding to your email are people just like you who have been there and survived. They will be able to relate to your feelings of hopelessness and loss. They will do their best to give you the honest answers you need about this program.
This program has helped tens of thousands of couples from a number of different cultures and religions, in many countries around the world, and it can help you.
It is not a retreat, marriage counselling, marriage self help or a sensitivity group. There are neither group dynamics nor group discussions on the weekend. At no stage will you be called upon to discuss your issues with anyone else. This is not a time for hurting; it is a time for healing.
It is said that 2/3 of all divorces are so-called "soft" divorces, where incompatibility, irreconcilable differences, "grown apart" are offered as reasons. Most of these divorces are unnecessary, these couples can change their situation, and get to know each other and be happy together, again. The fact is that most couples divorce out of hopelessness. They see no alternative.
But, the cost of divorce in human terms is incalculable, never mind financially. Don't let your newly-divorced friend kid you with one of society's lies. You are NOT better off divorced. Divorced people suffer more health problems, stress problems, work problems, financial problems, than married couples. Even unhappy married couples are better-off than divorced couples. Children of divorced parents take strain at school, it affects their health , they are be more likely to abuse alcohol and/or drugs, and are more likely to divorce later in life than children of parents who stayed married.
Divorce is a contagious disease which affects society. So you say "but we're suffering from depression and stress now, what else can we do?"
Attend Retrouvaille, like we did, and learn how to resolve your problems. Retrouvaille CAN help you. It helped us. It IS possible...ask our team couples how they did it, then went on to write a new Love Story.

Kate Breslin's new book is FINALLY here! I have been waiting for this day since the moment I finished Not by Sight. And I am so excited to share my review with you. Filled with raw emotion that will grip your heart, this is not a light read, but it is an AMAZING story!
Kate's books continue to elicit emotions in me that I have rarely felt on such an excruciating level. Set in Belgium during WWI we live through the memories of our heroine. We walk with her through the heartache, the pain, the suffering, but also the joy. Evelyn Marche has seen her fair share of evil and sorrows, but as a nurse she is able to bring peace and comfort to those who are also suffering. Through her work, she is making a difference in more people's lives than she knows. I don't want to say TOO much about Eve's story, because I want you to read it! Be warned though...I was not even half way through and I thought I was going to puke, cry, and throw the book across the room.** THAT is how powerful Kate's words are. There were many times of laugh out loud moments, but this is a book set in a WAR ZONE.
While in the middle of reading this book, I had the opportunity to hear a WWII survivor speak. (I know, I know...different war...but a hero is a hero.) Her name is Marthe Cohn, she is 97 years old. Marthe is a French Jew who served as a spy in Nazi Germany during WWII. She was a nurse. She is a HERO. There are SO MANY PARALLELS to Eve in Marthe's story that it was kind of weird. Marthe was instrumental in bringing about the end of the war. I share this with you because I want to honor those who have served...in any war. Those who would risk their lives daily so that my family may live in peace. The heros who, without them, things could have ended so very different.
Evelyn is a strong and powerful representation of the many women who served in WWI. The heroes who cared for the wounded. The heroes that changed history one day at a time. Eve's independent spirit and tenacity has been an asset throughout the war. But living in "survival mode" can wear a person down. Will she continue fighting in her own strength or will she open her heart to God, and allow Him to carry her burdens? Although I have not seen the same horrors that Evelyn (and Marthe) were faced with, I hope that in the midst of chaos I will stand strong, be a light and do what I can to make the world a better place. To bring hope to those who have none.
*Quotation is from the song Days in the Sun found on the 2017 release of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
I received a complimentary copy of High as the Heavens from Bethany House Publishers I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
For Such a Time is one of my all time favorite books and I too have been eagerly waiting for Breslin's newest release. Your review has amped up my anticipation even more!
Brittaney, thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad my debut novel still holds a special place on your bookshelves, and I hope you enjoy High As The Heavens as well. God bless!
Eeeeee! YAY! This makes me so happy to hear! For Such a Time is INCREDIBLE!
Rachel, thank you for this beautiful, heartfelt review of High As The Heavens! I'm thrilled to learn about Marthe Cohn, too. Parallels, indeed! Yes, we must shine a light on all of those heroes and heroines who once made great sacrifices so that we can live free today. Blessings!
Oh my pleasure Kate! Thank you for writing from your heart!
I am currently reading For Such a Time...even though I'm only half way through the book, it's become one of my all-time favorite historical fictions.
And the covers on your books are truly works of art!
AGREED!!!! Kate's cover's are among my favorite.
Stellar review, Rachel! I loved Not By Sight! I'm excited to read High As The Heavens!
Thank you Caryl! You HAVE to let me know what you think!
Love that quote you shared!!
Thanks...there were so many to pick from but I love LOVE this one!

Sean's Story
Pediatric Cancer & Ewing Sarcoma
News, Events and More
Mike's Marathons
Sean Shop
Sean Michael Karl's story is one of hope, courage, faith and new life. Sean was born June 14, 1994 to Laurie and Mike Karl in Toledo, Ohio. He grew up with two younger brothers, Justin and Steven, in Brentwood, Tennessee. He was an incredibly gifted athlete, who excelled in many sports, but chose tennis due to the individualism of it. Through his father's teachings and tough love, Sean formed a fierce and unparalleled competitive spirit that allowed him to become one of the best tennis players in the nation. Little did Sean know, the steely interior his father had instilled in him for tennis would prepare him for the battle of his life.
Just months before he was to join the University of Tennessee Men's Tennis Team, Sean (age 18) was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Though he had to put a halt to his college plans, he knew the Lord had a greater plan in store. After battling the disease for 10 months, Sean was declared cancer free. That August, Sean achieved his dream of playing for the University of Tennessee.
A few months later, the devastating news came that the disease had returned. However, Sean's faith never wavered. He was a walking example of joy and possessed a fighter's heart. Despite losing our precious friend, teammate, brother and son on November 16, 2014, Sean's legacy will live on forever.
If you're lucky enough in this world, you will come across a special soul — someone who has the ability to inspire without trying, motivate without words, and bring together an entire community and tennis family across the globe. Sean Karl was that remarkable person in our lives. He was strong, witty, a jokester, kind and compassionate. Sean had a personality that was infectious, and an aura about him that was truly unique. He created lifelong friendships effortlessly. He was the type of human being we all strive to be.
Sean's life was a precious gift that will continue to spread tremendous joy, love and hope through the Sean Karl Foundation. The Sean Karl Foundation is devoted to increasing funding for research dedicated to finding the cure to Ewing Sarcoma.

Apple to Make Android Apps
The smart phone wars may be seeing a détente. With the Beats acquisition, Apple will now be making apps for Android and Windows Phone.
Everyone seems to have an opinion as to which mobile platform is the best. As Apple and other technology companies battle for market share, many customers have taken to supporting one side or the other. For some, it is like rooting for a sports team. For others, it is almost fanatical, with beliefs supported by talking points and circular logic.
Steve Jobs is notorious for vowing to go "thermonuclear" on Google after Android launched. Tim Cook thinks differently. He has made peace with Google. With the Beats acquisition, Apple will now make apps for Android and Windows Phone. Cook confirmed that Beats will continue to make apps for Android and Windows Phone.
Beats has quite a history with Android. Not that long ago, HTC was the majority stockholder in Beats. Select HTC Android smart phones came equipped with Beats audio processing, speakers and optional docking stations. HTC has since pulled back its investment in Beats. Now it's time to see what Apple will do with the company. They have already made it clear that they're most interested in the streaming music business.
It is unclear whether Beats technology, such as speakers, headphones and digital signal processing, will make its way into Apple devices. Most of these products will be sold at Apple stores. Beats was founded, in part, on the notion that they could sell better headphones to iPod listeners. Apple has made improvements to their ubiquitous ear-buds, but they leave much to be desired. Apart from the high-end audio production capabilities of the Mac, consumer-oriented Apple devices tend to have mediocre sound quality.
What is the Beats Music App?
Beats Music is a music streaming service that also allows on-demand playback of songs. Although iTunes Radio is the best music streaming service I have used (it has over 27 million songs!), adoption has been slow. Adding Beats into the fold gives Apple new technology to improve iTunes Radio, in addition to more customers. The Beats Music app is quite popular, with millions of downloads on Google Play alone.
Beats Music is different from other streaming music services. The service offers music curated by in-house experts. Additionally, one can enter a sentence and Beats will play appropriate music. If you enter "I am at the beach", Beats will play beach-oriented music. Beats has 20 million songs, which is less than iTunes Radio. I expect there to be a lot of overlap, however, it will likely increase iTunes Radio's repertoire. The addition of new technology, in-house curators and loyal customers will only help Apple's streaming music efforts to prosper.
Android Users Want Apple Content
Despite the smart phone "war" and strong opinions, many Android users long for Apple content, particularly podcasts. There are a number of podcast apps on Google Play. Many of these have achieved the ranks of top apps and have millions of downloads. Apple doesn't officially make a podcasts app for Android or Windows Phone, and there is no reason to do this. There is no return on investment. Podcasts are free. They are intended to drive the adoption of iPods and other Apple devices.
It would make a lot of sense for Apple to develop iTunes for Android and Windows Phone. iTunes isn't a huge revenue generator. The iPhone is Apple's biggest money-maker, by far. That said, it would be inexpensive to develop iTunes for other platforms. It would expand sales of music, movies and TV shows. The addition of iTunes Radio would increase ad revenues for Apple. I won't hold my breath, but it would make a lot of sense for Apple to move in this direction. Perhaps with the Beats acquisition, Apple might lean toward making iTunes for other mobile platforms. Apple currently develops iTunes for Windows PCs

Integration and Application
05 Mar Solliance and ECN part of TNO exceed the performance limit of standard solar cells
Posted at 11:36h in News	by	Niels van Loon
ECN part of TNO and its partners in Solliance are working to combine perovskite thin film technology with crystalline silicon technology to create photovoltaic tandem modules. ECN part of TNO also develops bifacial silicon technology. By combining both approaches, the research partnership has now obtained a 30.2% equivalent efficiency for a bifacial tandem solar device. This is an important breakthrough because it combines a bi-facial design with state-of-the-art tandem technology to produce a 30+% equivalent light-to-electricity conversion efficiency, about one third better than state-of the art industrial solar cells which have an efficiency of around 22%.
Tandem for optimal utilisation of the light spectrum
ECN part of TNO and the Solliance partners have deep expertise on various solar cell technologies suitable for tandem applications, and are top of the league in developing tandem designs that are suitable for industrialisation. The high performance offered by tandem solar technology contributes to reducing the overall solar system costs and is an essential factor increasing the energy yield. Both these aspects will support the transition to a society using primarily renewable energy reducing the CO2 emission.
The combination of different types of solar cells in a tandem module enables a better power conversion efficiency than what is achievable with one cell type only. With one cell optimised for high energy photons in ultraviolet and visible light, and the other for low energy photons in infrared light, more electrical energy can be extracted from sunlight. In addition, the newly developed device collects the available light simultaneously from both sides of the solar module.
Bifacial increases energy yield
Common silicon solar cells have typical efficiencies in the range of 19 to 22%, with close to 25% for best-in-class technologies. The theoretical limit for silicon solar cells is 29.4%. To increase the efficiency beyond this limit, ECN part of TNO with Solliance Solar Research and its partners have combined two technologies to convert light into solar energy even more effectively. The team has achieved this by placing a newly developed perovskite solar cell on top of an industrial bifacial crystalline silicon solar cell and integrating these into a novel device architecture that harvests light from both sides: a bifacial tandem solar cell.
Bifacial solar modules are already commercially available in the Netherlands, for example the Solar Highways noise barrier project recently launched. In free standing applications, such as large solar power plants, reflected and diffuse light from surroundings, increase the annual electricity output typically by 10-30% using bifacial solar technology, compared to common solar modules. As the incident light on the front and the rear sides of the module is naturally varying during the day and from season to season, bifacial tandem devices need to be able to respond to this variability through their electronic design. The tandem device proposed here uses a four-terminal configuration, thus having separate circuits for the top and bottom cells that allow for dynamic fine-tuning and optimisation of the energy yield.
About the comparison of mono-facial and bifacial devices
The performance comparison of mono-facial and bifacial devices is not straightforward because many variables, such as the location and orientation of the solar module, have a significant impact on the energy yield. A practical approach is the concept of 'bifacial-equivalent efficiency', which is the efficiency of a mono-facial device required to generate the same (annual) amount of energy as the bifacial device, under the same operating conditions. The accepted practice to determine the equivalent efficiency for bifacial designs is measuring the solar cell from the front in standard test condition (STC) and adding another 20% of this illumination from the rear. By adopting this method, the bifacial equivalent tandem efficiency of our device is 30.2%, thus surpassing the limit of mono-facial silicon solar cells. The technology roadmap is to further bring this device to 35% equivalent efficiency in the next three to five years.
As a reference, the single silicon device alone in equivalent bifacial conditions, yields an efficiency of only 26%. "Reaching the 30% threshold is the first major milestone of this device architecture." explains Gianluca Coletti – Program Manager Tandem Technology at ECN part of TNO. "Our next target is to work on the scalability, integration and reliability of this technology. We want to shorten the time to market and therefore we work together with our partners to make this technology ready for mass production."
Partners that contributed to this work are: Choshu Industry Co., Forschungszentrum Jülich, imec, and Eindhoven University of Technology.

Christmas parties, Christmas cookies, Christmas presents. Lots and lots of Christmas. But also warm days that made us forget it was winter-we even snuck in a hike or two. Rain when they wished for snow, a lopsided gingerbread house, hallway hair salon, cheerio necklaces, and some popsicles to remedy a sore throat. Best of all- lots of time with family. Here is a little of our lately.

Cahuenga Branch Library
The Cahuenga Branch Library is significant for its cultural role as part of the history of the East Hollywood community. It is a notable architectural design, and was the last and the smallest of the six branch libraries of the Los Angeles Public Library big huge system built with a $200,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie. The Cahuenga Branch along with the Vermont Square and the Lincoln Heights Branch Libraries are all that remain of the original six City Carnegie Branch Libraries. It is part of a thematic grouping of City libraries which has been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.
At the turn of the century, the East Hollywood community numbered about 500 people who worked orange and avocado groves and wheat fields. Initial efforts to build a library began when citizens offered to purchase land near the intersection of Vermont Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard. However, the present site was acquired later by assessment proceedings and the Cahuenga Branch Library was established. The branch's name derives from its location in the Cahuenga Valley, an old name for the area south of the Hollywood Hills.
In his dedicatory address, City librarian Everett R. Perry proudly pointed to the new branch's modern features: bookshelves accessible to all, several thousands of carefully selected children's literature, and a public auditorium intended by the Library Board to be widely and liberally used. From its opening, the library has served the diverse community of East Hollywood. Initially, it serviced modest middle-class residents, the affluent Los Feliz area, and students attending the many nearby colleges. As the population of East Hollywood shifted to one of the most ethnically diverse areas of Los Angeles, the Cahuenga Branch Library has responded with a diversity of services. The library offers outreach programs in citizenship and films for convalescent homes. It maintains a staff which is multilingual.
From its inception, the branch was intended to serve as a community center as well as a library. An auditorium with overflow capabilities and a stage were designed to be easily accessible a few steps below street level. During World War I, a busy Red Cross Auxiliary, food conservation classes, Liberty Loans, and thrift stamp sales were held here. In the 1920s, with the rising popularity of the movie industry, theatre rehearsals, music recitals, and community sings were held in the auditorium.
The library building is an outstanding example of public architecture. The architect for the library, Clarence H. Russell, was a noted local architect who had designed numerous churches, schools, and houses in the Venice community. Its formal Italian Renaissance styling with Palladian motifs, cast-stone balustrades, decorative brick treatment, and prominent hipped roof are uncommon in branch library design.
Its formal design and public accessibility accentuate its relationship to the street. The Cahuenga Branch Library stands out in an area which has few other buildings that are noteworthy.

We were extremely happy when Halifax man Norman Landsell chose ourselves to carry out the mild restoration work on his 1990 964 Carrera 4.
We stripped the car of all its glass and tackled the corrosion to the sills, wings, scuttle and all the other areas that affect 911's.
After we had grafted new metal into all affected panels we gave the car a full re-spray in original Grand Prix White. A few small mechanical issues were sorted along with a service and fresh Mot before handing the keys back to a very pleased customer.
The pictures really do speak for themselves, this 964 has been brought back to its deserved prestige condition.


My son called this a "Dart" Dress :) It's one of Shingo Sato's recipe from the Transformational Reconstruction book. I have used BurdaStyle pattern #0012 2013 as basic. The fabric is linen/viscose and I have used cotton voile as lining.
The pattern is from Burda Easy 02/2015.
I've made another version of this pattern because I like it so much :) The sleeves is ruched with a rubberband in the seam as a new detail for the top.
This shirt is based on BurdaStyle pattern 06/2016 #143 but I chose to make it with long sleeves, then it's more wearable at this time of year :) I have just added some small details with orange button holes and the white fabric inside the collar.

Famous Russian actress exiled after calls to end war in Ukraine
Online News EditorMarch 21, 2022
Moscow, Mar 21 (EFE).- Russian actress Chulpan Khamatova has gone into exile to Latvia after calling on the Kremlin to end the invasion of Ukraine, which entered its 26th day on Monday.
"I am afraid to return (…), they made me understand that returning is dangerous. Now I am in Riga. What I know is that I am not a traitor. I love my country very much," Khamatova said during an interview on Youtube.
Khamatova, who rose to fame in 2003 with her role in the German film Goodbye Lenin!, explained that she would have to "stop saying that this is a war and a tragedy" in order to return to Moscow.
"Lie to myself and to the whole world, live a lie. That is in the best of scenarios if they don't force me to call what is white black," she stressed, saying her Ukrainian friends have told her what is happening in the neighboring country.EFE

Our lives are beautiful regardless of the daily challenges that we face. You should pay attention when it comes to your health and not let anything things slip under the table each time you feel sick. Setting time apart for self-discovery will help you notice any health complications that you might have and did not notice. You might find yourself ignoring taking your medication on time making it hard to have a swift recovery.
There are steps you should follow so that you get well quick and so that nothing serious will happen to you. Always be prepared in case you get sick in unexpected places or unexpectedly. Diseases do not choose who to attack so adults must be well prepared. You can control the situation if you purchase the drugs early.
Cough medicines can be found in three stages. If you have a running nose, guaifenesin is the best cough medicine to help you. You can purchase drugs that can suppress your coughs so that you are comfortable when interacting with different people. There are drugs that will help you get better if you take combination cough medicines.
The cough medicine will help soothe your throat and different allergies. If the coughs are persistent even after taking the medicines for a week, you should visit a doctor near you. Many clinics will provide excellent services and choose the best medicine for you. Avoid giving your child drugs that were prescribed for you so that they do not suffer a serious side effect. Many people are now able to get the information they need so that they can maintain a healthy lifestyle.
You can visit the doctor for minor examinations just to make sure that you are okay and will not easily fall sick. When it comes to your health, you should be more aware and figure out how you can do more to improve your life. Sometimes it is best to take time and see if the cough will pass. You should request the drug store owner to explain what the drug does and how long you are supposed to take them.
Some medicine must be accompanied by painkillers since the cough will suppress your lungs. Take the prescribed dose by the doctor to avoid serious problems like brain damage, seizure or even death. As humans we must rest and focus on things that push us to be better people in the world, do as much exercise as you can from time to time.

Malaysia Airports, Skyports, and Volocopter collaborate to conduct feasibility study for vertiport deployment in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur/London/Bruchsal, 21 July 2021 – Malaysia Airports announced today that it has signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Skyports, the world-leading designer and operator of vertiport infrastructure for electric air taxis, and Volocopter, the pioneer of Urban Air Mobility (UAM). As a first step, the parties will combine their distinct aerospace and aviation expertise to conduct a feasibility study examining suitable vertiport solutions to enable the safe take-off and landing of passenger eVTOL vehicles, considering factors such as demand, customer flow, and how to integrate UAM operations.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to capture around 45% of the advanced air mobility (AAM) market by 2035¹, translating to $9.5 billion (USD). The outcome of this venture will be a game-changer in terms of air travel offerings. The collaboration forms part of the five-year Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang (LTSAAS) Regeneration plan. It will explore the deployment of revolutionary electric air taxi services at LTSAAS as well as other locations throughout Malaysia, putting the country amongst the leaders in the region in terms of willingness to implement UAM.
Malaysia Airports' Group CEO, Dato' Mohd Shukrie Mohd Salleh, said: "Air taxi technology and revolution is the next big thing that we want to see happen in Malaysian aviation. With LTSAAS offering a synergistic ecosystem within the aviation and aerospace sectors, it is timely for us to explore this new service as it complements other key developments of the regeneration initiative. Volocopter and Skyports are both leaders in their respective fields of advanced air mobility and we hope to further futureproof LTSAAS's position in Asia Pacific by catering to research, assembly, manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) in addition to air taxi operations. Our objective is to provide end to end, mid to high value capabilities and solutions that are anchored by top tier operators."
"LTSAAS Regeneration will offer various development opportunities to aviation and aerospace players worldwide thus echoing the government's original intent to turn LTSAAS into both an international aerospace centre and business aviation hub."
Duncan Walker, CEO of Skyports, said: "Malaysia Airports' ambitions for future proofing Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport and implementing electric air taxi services throughout Malaysia align with Skyports' ambitions to deliver UAM in the Asia Pacific market. The feasibility study will allow us to explore all the elements needed to create a future air mobility model that could be deployed across the region. Our track record of success with Volocopter combined with a wealth of experience and Malaysia Airports' objectives, make this an exciting initiative."
"The Southeast Asian Market is one of the largest and most interesting ones for UAM due to its geographical layout and dense population. Our feasibility study will help give us insights on demand, customer expectations, and airport integration, which we can apply to other markets in the region.", says Christian Bauer, CCO of Volocopter. "Having expert partners like Skyports and LTSAAS understanding the local needs, is decisive in bringing revolutionary technologies like electric air taxis to new markets."
Skyports is the world's leading advanced air mobility infrastructure provider. In partnership with Volocopter, Skyports was the first to build a full-scale passenger air taxi vertiport – the take-off and landing infrastructure for eVTOL aircraft – which was launched as part of a trial that took place in Singapore in 2019. Skyports currently has infrastructure projects in development elsewhere in Asia, as well as in Europe and North America. Among the roles of Skyports in this tripartite MoU includes exploring the development and operations of vertiports at airports operated by Malaysia Airports, which are subjected to the agreed business and development model. Vertiports are areas designed specifically for eVTOL aircraft to take off and land.
Meanwhile, Volocopter is the only eVTOL developer with a product portfolio of multicopter and fixed-wing designs that can be used for passenger air taxis and cargo transportation. They take a holistic approach to UAM by developing an entire ecosystem that connects the necessary components to offer electric flight in cities. Their track record includes designing and pioneering the first piloted and fully electric air taxi in the world. Volocopter's role is to assess the deployment of eVTOL aircraft and operations of urban air taxi services from vertiports at LTSAAS.
