No happy endings. I think I have no will power to quit something. My experience is more about happy beginnings and perseverance. My secret was try to never fall in a bad habit as a first measure. This way I never had to experience the pains of quitting. I've never smoked although both my parents were smokers. Maybe because of that I never had the curiosity to begin smoking. I've never drank much, because nobody in my family drank. I never have been in a diet because I didn't need it. Which is a good thing because I don't know what would become of me should I had been in a need to quit smoking or drinking or eating too much. I've heard stories of how difficult it is.
OK, I had to quit one thing: drinking wine and beers because of the medication I have to take. But that was easy because I was not addicted. Before that, I only drank in counted occasions, like special dinners, parties or outings with friends. I went cold turkey by necessity, and it went good. No problem.
Probably you'll thinking: what a boring life!. Wrong. I had a lot of fun all those years.
The only thing I'm trying to do now is stop working late night. I'm used to work at night because of my years as a reporter for a daily newspaper. Now I would like to be more active at day hours and have a good sleep at night. But I keep working at night no matter how strong my resolutions are. I tried to go cold turkey with this, but is not working at all. Maybe is time to try the gradual change. I'll consider it.
Very nice! I had to reduce my social drinking because of meds but like you since I was only a social drinker it was not problem.

The Black Sash of South Africa: A Case Study in Liberalism
By Cherry Michelman
Oxford University Press (for the Institute of Race Relations, London), 1975, 198 pp
Reviewed By Jennifer Seymour Whitaker
An account of the evolution of Black Sash from a mass middle-class organization concerned with the survival of parliamentary democracy into a cadre of about 1,200 white women self-exiled to the fringes of their society by their advocacy of racial integration. Candid about the women's ambiguous position vis-à-vis black racial consciousness, and objective about both their moral victories and political defeats.

We completed our passage eastward from Iceland across the North Atlantic, arriving at Lerwick, the main port of the Shetland Islands.
It is not quite the mainland of Europe, or to be more precise, not the mainland of the United Kingdom. Lerwick is a piece of Scotland roughly 200 kilometers or 123 miles off the north coast of the United Kingdom.
It is roughly equidistant between the Faroe Islands (228 miles or 367 kilometers) to the west, and about 222 miles or 357 kilometers east of Bergen, Norway.
In Shetland, we are as close to the North Pole as parts of Greenland or Alaska.
This place of ancient settlement was very much off the world's mind until the North Sea Oil Boom of the 1970s when some industry and housing arrived from over the horizon.
Today, oil jobs are still there although on the decline. Now the locals seek to pump pounds from the pockets of tourists.
I went with a group of guests on a tour of the countryside, including a stop at the ancient archaeological site of Jarlshof, which includes prehistoric Mesolithic and Paleolithic structures as well as some of the oldest manors of the Scottish lairds.

The Executive Budget extends this successful program for an additional five years, until July 1, 2021.2 The one-house budget bills did not include the extension, but the final budget should.
Extending the SUNY 2020 and CUNY 2020 Program for another five years would extend tuition predictability and the state's requirement to maintain public support, while maintaining New York's competitive position.9 Failure to do so creates the possibility that SUNY and CUNY students could again be exposed to irrational and unpredictable tuition fluctuations, harming students, SUNY, and CUNY.
The amount of financial assistance provided under this program to offset tuition increases was calculated by the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) based on a student's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) award.
The Executive Budget also proposes to shift approximately $485 million in CUNY senior college costs from the State to the City, keeping combined support to CUNY stable compared to the current period. The proposed CUNY 2020 plan would then require the City and State to maintain the new shares for the next five years. CBC opposes this shift.
James B. Milliken, "Trustee Breakfast with CUNY Chancellor James B. Milliken" (speech given to the Citizens Budget Commission, New York, N.Y., March 3, 2016), http://www.cbcny.org/content/breakfast-cuny-chancellor-james-b-milliken.
The original program's maintenance of effort provision required the State to provide financial support in an amount equal to or greater than the amount provided in the prior year. Last year, the State Legislature adopted legislation to amend the description of maintenance of effort beginning in 2016-2017 to include "all mandatory costs" of SUNY and CUNY, including contracted salary costs, fringe benefits, utilities, and rent. The legislature posited that the original intent of the program was to cover these costs. The Governor vetoed this bill – A5370 (Glick), and the extention proposed in the Executive budget maintains the original description.
Comparisons to other states combine SUNY and CUNY, and also include average fees.

Neighboring states: New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Peer states with large university systems: Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, California, Ohio, Arizona, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Illinois, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. See: College Board, Annual Survey of Colleges (2015-2016), https://professionals.collegeboard.org/higher-ed/recruitment/annual-survey.
The current program and the Executive proposal contain different provisions requiring SUNY and CUNY to find cost savings and efficiencies. The current program requires an annual report on how each system is promoting fiscal stability by implementing cost savings after adopting tuition increases. The Executive proposal would provide that SUNY and CUNY trustees shall only increase tuition upon determination that cost savings are being implemented and that tuition increases are justified based on inflationary indices.

The Shortest History of Democracy
4,000 Years of Self-Government—A Retelling for Our Times
By John Keane
The full chronological sweep of democracy, from the assemblies of ancient Mesopotamia and Athens to present perils around the globe. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read.
This compact history unspools the tumultuous global story that began with democracy's radical core idea: We can collaborate, as equals, to determine our own futures. Acclaimed political thinker John Keane traces how this concept emerged and evolved, from the earliest "assembly democracies" in Syria-Mesopotamia to European-style "electoral democracy" and to our uncertain present.
Today, thanks to our always-on communication channels, governments answer not only to voters on Election Day but to intense scrutiny every day. This is "monitory democracy"—in Keane's view, the most complex and vibrant model yet—but it's not invulnerable. Monitory democracy comes with its own pathologies, and the new despotism wields powerful warning systems, from social media to election monitoring, against democracy itself.
At this urgent moment, when despots in countries such as China, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia reject the promises of democratic power-sharing, Keane mounts a bold defense of a precious global ideal.
John Keane
"In this fast-paced and engaging book, Keane tells the story of societies across the ancient and modern eras struggling for self-government. . . . An odyssey, full of twists and turns, crises, and reinventions."—Foreign Affairs
"Democracy itself, the essential foundation of America, is in serious trouble. To the rescue comes this wonderfully comforting and beautifully written long-view historical narrative. . . . This slim volume is a fine read from a gifted author."—Booklist
"The title suggests "short," but do not be deluded, dear readers, the chapters are crammed with detail and strewn with classic and modern terminology inviting a demanding and exciting exercise."—City Book Review
"Shortest—and best! John Keane knows more about the history of democracy globally than one can imagine. Full of fascinating examples of democratic innovations from South Africa to Mongolia, Spain to Indonesia, and his concept of 'monitory democracy' is indispensable for understanding democracy today. Provocative, passionate, fun, and even a bit hopeful. Don't miss it!"—Michael Schudson, professor of journalism and sociology, Columbia University
"A pragmatic, shining light to readers on radical democratic potential. This is the best, most readable book on the history of democracy published in the third millennium."—Takashi Inoguchi, professor emeritus, University of Tokyo; eminent scholar professor and J. F. Oberlin professor (Tokyo); former assistant secretary general of the UN
"This is a remarkable book. It covers a vast historical landscape while also delivering intellectual depth. It draws on research and scholarship while remaining accessible and engaging. But most of all, it offers a hopeful history without being naive. Modest in size, incredibly ambitious in content."—Matthew Flinders, professor of politics, University of Sheffield; vice president of the Political Studies Association of the United Kingdom
"For a brief shining moment, democracy seemed ascendent. Yet as distinguished political theorist John Keane demonstrates, democracy has a history but not necessarily a future. In concise and imaginative analysis, The Shortest History of Democracy outlines key variants of democracy and the many attempts to justify this messy, imperfect way of governing ourselves. Professor Keane argues for an ethic in which our very imperfections are reason to hold each other to account. An urgent, important book for a troubled time."—Glyn Davis AC, emeritus professor of political science, University of Melbourne
"A concise and informative history of democracy . . . packs far-flung details into . . . a provocative and enlightening survey of democracy's ever-shifting nature."—Publishers Weekly
"Underwrite an overview of a complicated topic with one of these new short-and-sweet distillations. . . with maps, charts, sidebars, and illustrations to bring it alive."—Mosaic, Morgan Stanley

"I volunteer at CAG because I am relatively new to Vancouver and I want to engage with the art scene here. I used to be a freelance writer back in Dublin, writing art reviews and criticism, as well as other lifestyle topics. I haven't had anything published in a few years (other than my thesis!) but I've been sending out pitches again recently.
I come from a very artistic family and studied fine art so I kind of knew everyone in the Irish art world. I'm working on trying to get that sense of 'place' back and knowing CAG by reputation, very consciously applied as a volunteer to connect with the local art community (and look good on my resume!).

ABOUT BEN FOLDS:
Ben Folds is widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation. He's created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and numerous collaborative records. His last album was a blend of pop songs and his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra that soared to #1 on both the Billboard classical and classical crossover charts.
For over a decade he's performed with some of the world's greatest symphony orchestras, and in 2017 was named as the first ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center. He continues to perform with orchestras, and also does solo touring, delivering a high-energy rock show with the intimacy of a solo piano performance.
In addition to touring, Folds has just written his first book – "A Dream About Lightning Bugs – A Life of Music and Cheap Lessons" – described as a collection of interrelated essays and anecdotes about art, life, and music. Release is slated for July 2019.
He is also no stranger to TV and film, from scoring soundtracks to having been featured for five seasons as a judge on NBC's critically-acclaimed a capella show "The Sing Off." He has also continued to appear in cameo and recurring roles on cable and network TV shows.
An avid photographer, Folds is a member of the prestigious Sony Artisans of Imagery, completed an assignment in 2017 as a photo editor for National Geographic, and was recently featured in a mini-documentary by the Kennedy Center's Digital Project on his photographic work.
An outspoken champion for arts education and music therapy funding in our nation's public schools, in 2016 Ben held the distinction as the only artist to appear at both national political conventions advocating for arts education, and has continually served for over five years as an active member of the distinguished Artist Committee of Americans For The Arts and on the Board of its Arts Action Fund.

About Violent Femmes:
Violent Femmes formed in 1981 as an acoustic punk band playing on the streets of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Their main influences at that time were Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps and The Velvet Underground. Their goal was to rock harder than any other acoustic act on the planet.
After being rejected for an audition by a local nightclub, the Femmes set up outside a Pretenders gig and began to play. Pretenders' lead singer Chrissie Hynde asked them to open that night's show, which gave the young band a publicity boost and caught the attention of Richard Hell, who invited the Femmes to open for him in NYC. A rave review in the New York Times eventually led to a record deal, which in turn spawned worldwide touring.
Violent Femmes eponymous debut album became the first and only album in Billboard history to enter the charts with a platinum certification -eight years after its release. Over the ensuing three decades, the Femmes became a mainstay of festivals, clubs, and theaters in more than 20 countries worldwide.
MTV's "Unplugged" show was inspired by the Femmes, although they never actually appeared on it. Their raw sound and honest lyrical perspective has been cited as an influence by artists as diverse as Pink, Keith Urban, The Smiths, The Pixies, John Cusack, Mark Morris, and Wim Wenders.
More than 30 years into their careers, Violent Femmes will spend 2019 touring extensively and have announced a new album to be released in late summer.

For accurate operation, it is essential that each pump is filled completely with drug solution and that correct filling is verified by the method detailed in this section. Air bubbles trapped within the body of the pump, or failure to insert the flow moderator into the pump, may result in unpredictable pumping rate fluctuations. When filling the pump, ensure that solutions are at room temperature.
DURECT recommends that sterile technique be used during the filling and handling of ALZET pumps and during the surgical implantation procedure. Inadvertent contamination of the solution or flow moderator during filling may result in the growth of potentially activity-destroying microorganisms, tissue irritation, and erratic results. If the sterility of your solution is a concern, fill the pumps through a 0.22 µM syringe-end filter (e.g.,Millex®-GV) .
During filling and implantation, ALZET pumps should be handled with surgical gloves. Skin oils may interfere with the performance of a pump if they accumulate on its surface. If a pump becomes contaminated, its surface may be wiped with an aqueous solution of 70% isopropanol immediately before use. Do not soak the pump in isopropanol.
Weigh the empty pump together with its flow moderator.
Check the instructions (supplied in each box of pumps) for the mean fill volume for the lot of pumps that will be used.
Attach a filling tube (supplied with each package of pumps) to a syringe and draw up the room temperature solution. It is essential that the syringe and attached tube be free of air bubbles. Allow extra syringe volume for spillage. For best results, use the smallest volume syringe possible. With the flow moderator removed, hold the pump in an upright position (exit port pointed vertically).
Insert the filling tube through the opening at the top of the pump until it can go no further. This places the tip of the tube near the bottom of the pump reservoir.
Wipe off the excess solution and insert the flow moderator until the cap or flange is flush with the top of the pump. The insertion of the flow moderator will displace some of the solution from the filled pump. This overflow should be wiped off. The flow moderator must be fully inserted into the body of the pump.
Weigh the filled pump with the flow moderator in place. The difference in the weights obtained in Steps 1 and 6 will give the net weight of the solution loaded. For most dilute aqueous solutions, the weight in milligrams (mg) is approximately the same as the volume in microliters (µl). The fill volume should be more than 90% of the reservoir volume specified on the instruction sheet. If so, the filled pump is ready for use. If not, there may be some air trapped inside the pump. Evacuate the incompletely filled pump and refill (Steps 1-6).
If working with a catheter, a viscous solution, or an agent which may have acute toxic effects, prime the filled pumps in sterile, 37º C saline.
Troubleshooting: If you experience any difficulty filling the pumps, try filling them with the filling tube at a slight angle. This allows the air in the reservoir to escape more easily. If the filling port still seems tight, insert and remove the flow moderator several times before reinserting the filling tube.
Filling the ALZET pump. Fill the pump using a syringe and a blunt-tipped filling tube. Holding the pump in an upright position, fill the reservoir, allowing air to escape around the filling tube.
All ALZET pumps have a start-up gradient during which the pumps soak up fluid and come to temperature. This start-up period can be accomplished by "priming" the pumps in vitro prior to implantation in vivo using the procedure below.
Fill the pumps in the usual manner.
If using a catheter, it is possible to drape the end of the catheter outside the beaker to avoid any mixing of solutions.
Do not be concerned if due to evaporation, fluid is not observed dripping from the end of the catheter, as evaporative loss can occur. Remove the pump from the saline and implant immediately.
Note: While a small amount of drug solution will be expelled during priming, this will not compromise administration of your compound for the full delivery period. The pumps are manufactured such that the reservoir holds sufficient solution to deliver beyond the infusion period.

If you ask me, fitness is more than just getting up and going to the gym, regularly. Fitness is all about what you do before and after the gym, too. When it comes to maintaining this on-the-go, fit-centric lifestyle, I'm a firm believer in proper prep and unwinding. Here are just a few of my fitness-centric favorites, for the before and after the gym time.
No matter my mood, activity, or frame of mind, music has and will always be the balm that soothes my soul. With the weather being absolute CRAP of late (snow in April – WHATEVER!!), I've relied on my tunes (Greatest Showman soundtrack, anyone?!) to get me up and out of my funk, more than ever. Enter Monster's Firecracker wireless Bluetooth speaker, which plays my jams wherever I am. Even better, its rugged exterior makes this all the more portable, and the attached flashlight always lights my way, when I need it.
When it comes to both the prep and recovery processes, the science of scents and aromatherapy have been used since the beginning of time. Lately, I've really been loving my Young Living diffuser, which I use with grapefruit essential oil pre-workout, to rev me up before I head out the door. I also use lavender oil, post workout, to relax me after a particularly grueling nighttime workout. Also pretty handy, Young Living also offers essential oil roll-ons, with the stress away being a great option to erase the stress I put on both body and mind, no matter the day.

FIP Partnership
Feb 04, 2014 Author: Lori Howk
Four major seafood buyers join High Liner Foods and WSC in their FIP Partnership.
Four major seafood buyers announced that they have joined the Wild Salmon Center's Salmon Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) Partnership. The Partnership, which includes Nestlé, Gorton's, The Fishin' Company, Albion Fisheries, and High Liner Foods, aims to significantly increase the number of fisheries around the globe that supply sustainable salmon. The buyers' involvement motivates fisheries to focus on their sustainability performance, and the Wild Salmon Center (WSC) builds on this interest by working on the ground to help fisheries find practical ways to improve their sustainability efforts.

"We're thrilled to see more of the industry joining us," said Bill DiMento of High Liner Foods, the leading frozen, value-added seafood supplier in North America. "The Salmon FIP Partnership helps us reach our corporate responsibility goals, but more than that, it's absolutely the right thing to do. It puts us in touch with what's happening on the ground and helps us use our buying power to leverage real change."
"To meet growing demand in the global marketplace, it's becoming more and more important to find sustainable sources of seafood," added Greg Jeffers of Gorton's, one of the new partners and the number one brand in frozen seafood in the U.S. "We're impressed with the progress the Salmon FIP Partnership has made to date. We are excited to add this effort to our ongoing sustainability program to further make an impact – on the water."
Today, nearly half of the world's marine fisheries are already at their maximum catch levels according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). To sustain these catch levels, protect healthy populations, and bring back overfished stocks in the face of growing consumer demand, fisheries will have to be proactive about making improvements. Salmon, which generate $3B in personal income annually and face severe threats to their populations across the pan-Pacific, are a perfect example.

"We can't just rest on our laurels and only pay attention to the well-managed fisheries if we want to save salmon," explained Brian Caouette of the WSC. "We have to help fisheries that are willing to take the right steps to become more sustainable."
The Partnership's goal is to have 75% of the world's wild salmon supply become third-party certified as sustainable or be in a credible FIP by 2016. Since its launch last spring, the Partnership has inspired fisheries accounting for over 37,000 metric tonnes of salmon to enter Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) assessments and/or credible FIPs. The WSC team has been at the center of these efforts, helping fishing communities in Russia and Japan conduct research, test on-the-water solutions, and make the management changes needed to become sustainable.
"Interest is growing," said local partner Denis Semenov who works with the Partnership in Kamchatka, Russia, one of the world's largest salmon producing regions. "Even fifteen years ago, we did not have many fisheries thinking about how to protect the environment and their fish. Today, I have people calling me to get involved. They see the economic benefits both in the short-term and long-term."
Tangible results in the first year
The FIP Partnership's combination of market incentives and hands-on work has already made important strides toward sustainable salmon fishing in the pan-Pacific. Recent examples include:
In the Russian Far East, the Partnership supported a number of anti-poaching and fishery verification measures, including the first-ever independent observer program for Russian salmon fisheries. These activities helped reduce illegal fishing violations by 64% in one region of Sakhalin, the third most abundant salmon area in the world.
In Aniva Bay, Sakhalin, a fishery with over 12,000 metric tonnes of salmon catch each year, the Partnership brokered an agreement among conservationists, fisheries, and the local community to set up independent monitoring of salmon populations. Through these scientific assessments, local managers confirmed that the number of salmon returning to spawn was dangerously low and made pro-active decisions to rebuild the fishery before further signs of collapse.
In Hokkaido, Japan, the chum salmon fishery's interest in gaining MSC certification led them to work with the WSC to improve their sustainability. Managers removed a hatchery that was blocking wild fish from migrating up river to spawn, and the wild stock is now recovering.
"The Salmon FIP Partnership gives us eyes on the ground in places like Russia and Japan," said DiMento. "Ten years ago we had no idea what many of these fisheries were doing around sustainability. Now we have real-time updates."
"We're at an exciting point in time," added Caouette. "We're helping fisheries in Asia and Russia get on a path to sustainability before salmon populations plummet and local economies collapse. These fisheries can make changes now that will lead to more salmon and better business in the future – and that means a bigger, healthier salmon supply for all of us."
Launch of FIP tracker
The Partnership launched the first-ever FIP tracker, a public website that allows buyers and conservation advocates to verify fisheries' improvement claims and track the progress of individual fisheries online. This new tool will help ensure that only the fisheries living up to their sustainability commitments reap rewards in the sustainable seafood marketplace.

Pns: Ninety-eight people have missed this year's hajj, thanks to fraudulent hajj and travel agencies. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Civil Aviation and Tourism Ministry yesterday recommended that the ministry should cancel the licences of these agencies. Earlier, religious affairs minister Motiur Rahman, religious affairs ministry secretary Abdul Jalil, hajj officer Syful Islam, and the secretary general of the Hajj Agencies' Association of Bangladesh (HAAB), Shahadat Hossain Taslim, had said that they would not go to hajj this year if any pilgrims were left behind. But they all left for Mecca on Sunday.
"We have received complaints against 18 agency owners. Stern action will be taken against them. Even their licences may be cancelled. Besides, criminal cases will also be filed against them," joint secretary of the religious affairs ministry Hafizur Rahman told reporters at a press briefing in the secretariat. He claimed that the deprived 98 pilgrims will get priority to go on hajj next year.
According to hajj office sources, the agencies that allegedly swindled the pilgrims are Eco Aviation and Tourism (20 pilgrims), Al Safa Air Travel (16 pilgrims), Golden Travels and Cargo Services (eight pilgrims), Gulshan-e-Muhammadia Travels (seven pilgrims), Siddikya Tours and Travels (six pilgrims), Ullama Aulia Hajj Group Bangladesh (six pilgrims), Asha Aviation (six pilgrims), United Tours (five pilgrims), Sawban Air Travels (five pilgrims), Bushra Travels and Tours (three pilgrims), Madina Air International Aviation (three pilgrims), N-E Air Services (three pilgrims), Saad Air International (three pilgrims), Golden Bengal Travels and Tours (two pilgrims), Euro Asia Travels and Tourism (two pilgrims), Al Balad Overseas (one pilgrim), Mesfallah Travels (one pilgrim), Midway Aviation (one pilgrim).
The members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Civil Aviation and Tourism Ministry also suggested that the ministry should take steps to fine the hajj agencies, if needed. The committee meeting was held at the Jatiya Sangsad with its chairman Muhammad Faruk Khan in the chair yesterday.
The parliamentary watchdog suggested that from the next hajj season, the full airfare should be collected from the hajj agencies once the tickets are booked.
It also asked the ministry to take action against those who were responsible for the anomalies in the hiring of two aircraft from Egypt by Biman Bangladesh in 2014. The committee also asked for a report on the steps that have been taken following the findings of the parliamentary subcommittee.
According to the subcommittee report, which was placed before the committee on July 27, Biman Bangladesh Airlines Ltd incurred a loss of Tk. 300 crore following the lease. If steps are not taken immediately, Biman will incur a further loss of Tk. 56 crore, the report said.
In 2014, the two Boeing 777-200ER aircraft were taken on lease from Egypt Airlines for five years. One aircraft was added to Biman's fleet in March 2014, while the other in May 2014.
The committee members who attended the meeting were civil aviation and tourism minister Rashed Khan Menon, Nazrul Islam Chowdhury, Kamrul Ashraf Khan, Rowshan Ara Mannan, and Sabiha Nahar.

Like a stoner ... caught for the very first time.
Madonna's 16-year-old son Rocco Ritchie was busted in his tony north London neighborhood with a stash of marijuana, according a report in The Sun.
The Sept. 28 arrest will not leave young Ritchie with a criminal record, as British teens taken into custody on a first offense typically attend a series of workshops rather than face jail time.
A statement from Scotland Yard confirmed that he was arrested, released on bail and assigned to a Youth Offending Team program.
Neighbors called the cops after spotting the son of the singer and movie director Guy Ritchie "smoking or doing drugs" while sitting on a wall with a pal, the newspaper reported.
The cops claimed Rocco tossed something away as they approached, and then discovered a small amount of marijuana inside his backpack.
"Rocco has become a well-known figure in the neighborhood and not for the right reasons," a source told The Sun. "He's been repeatedly seen acting suspiciously. "This incident was the final straw."
The teen was most recently in the middle of a custody battle between his celebrity parents after he refused to travel with his mom.
A deal reached in September — the same month as his arrest — allowed him to stay with his father in London but take regular trips to visit mom in the United States.

Are you anxious about visiting the dentist for regular checkups? If so, you're not alone. Many Americans do not visit the dentist because they suffer from dental anxiety. At Premier Dental Care in Herndon, our team offers sedation dentistry, an excellent way to provide safe, anxiety-free, dental experience for those patients who may be scared of dental procedures.
Sedation dentistry doesn't necessarily induce sleep but rather allows you to stay awake during the procedure. Sleepiness is a side effect of some medications, but nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation and IV sedation only work to calm anxiety throughout the dental visit.
Sedation dentistry is popular because most sedatives can be taken by mouth, meaning no injections, no anxiety and no pain. Some sedatives work so effectively that even the smells and details of the procedure cannot be recalled afterwards. Safety and compliance are two important aspects of treatments, so sedation dentistry offers you and the dentist the best alternative.
If you have any questions about Sedation Dentistry please contact us at Premier Dental Care your community dental practice serving Herndon, Oak Hill, Reston and the greater Northern Virginia area.
To schedule your next pain and anxiety free dental visit call us at (703) 860-8860 or email us at premierdentalcare@gmail.com.

Is parochial altruism an attribute of individual behavior? This is the question we address with an experiment. We examine whether the individual pro-sociality that is revealed in the public goods and trust games when interacting with fellow group members helps predict individual parochialism, as measured by the in-group bias (i.e., the difference in these games in pro-sociality when interacting with own group members as compared with members of another group). We find that it is not. An examination of the Big-5 personality predictors of each behavior reinforces this result: they are different. In short, knowing how pro-social individuals are with respect to fellow group members does not help predict their parochialism.

UK Cluedo Game - 1996
Themed around a newspaper investigation, this edition provides great new artwork with in-depth characterizations and descriptions. The suspect art is similar to that of the other European editions of the time, but it doesn't unfortunately extend to the box art - with the exception of the clever suspect shadows on the box reverse. The plastic pawns in the shape of the suspects are a wonderful change, but poorly match the card images. The story created on the playing cards adds a nice touch of mystery and intrigue.
The SUSPECTS
Miss Scarlett: "Shocking!" - The beautiful actress who is renowned for her many screen performances as the femme fatale. As suspicion mounts, the question is, are those dark rimmed circles around her eyes a sign of her deep-rooted sadness at the death of her good friend Dr Black, or is it stage make-up to accompany her well-performed mourning scene?
Colonel Mustard: "Bad show!" - After an amazing military career, the highly commended Colonel left the army under suspicious circumstances. A specialist in weaponry and the art of conspiracy, is his alibi the perfect foil for an investigating detective?
Mrs. White: "I adored the man!" - Cook to the late Dr Black's father and employed in their service for forty years. People in the village have reported that she is no longer happy in her work! Familiar with the layout of the family home, was she cooking up her own special dish for Dr Black?
Reverend Green: "He will be greatly missed." - An austere man, who came to the village two years ago. He was invited for the weekend at the request of Mrs White, who is very close to this reserved Reverend. Although he is not fond of parties, he accepted the invitation only because he knew his old friend Mrs White would be in attendance. The village church coffers are reported to be low on funds and could suggest another reason for the Reverend's interest.
Mrs. Peacock: "No comment!" - A frequent guest at Tudor Hall, Mrs Peacock attended all the best parties. Often in the gossip columns for her outrageous behaviour and rumoured to be losing her millions at the hands of an evil blackmailer. Beautiful and charming, she adores to be adored!
Professor Plum: "He was going to fund m my research." - A keen archaeologist who is currently looking for finance for his next venture in Egypt. Could this have been the reason for his attendance? An associate of Dr Black since they attended the same school. The professor claims to have been cleaning his artifacts at the time the crime was committed.
The WEAPONS
Dagger: Given to Dr Black as a gift from Colonel Mustard. Found in the lounge, out of its sheath lying under the table. It was reported to have been brought into the lounge by Dr Black, who used it to open a letter in the presence of his guests.
Candlestick: One of a pair, given to Dr Black by Mrs Peacock. Usually to be found in the lounge, both candlesticks were present on the dining room table at the time of the evening meal. The maids don't remember if they cleared both candlesticks away after dinner. Only one was on the table in the dining room after the crime, the other was found behind the curtains.
Revolver: A keen hunter, Dr Black owned several guns. During the course of the evening Dr Black brought out the revolver when he thought he heard an intruder in the grounds. The guests were in the dining room at the time. However, the revolver was found later in the lounge.
Rope: Having just returned from Egypt, Professor Plum gave an after-dinner talk on his findings. As he regaled the group with his tales of ancient artifacts, he took from his pocket a gold pendant wrapped in a pieced of old cloth and tied together with a piece of rope. After the event, the pendant was with Professor Plum, the cloth was found in the lounge where the talk took place, but the rope was found mysteriously in the ballroom.
Lead Piping: A problem with the plumbing had been the reason for the purchase of this item. It was usually kept in the gardener's shed amongst the other tools, so why was it found, after the murder, in the conservatory?
Spanner: During the evening, Colonel Mustard requested the use of a spanner, which he claimed he needed to help him with some maintenance to his car. The gardener was reported to have given the spanner in question to Dr Black. Colonel Mustard said he never received it, and th gardener didn't have it returned to him. The spanner was found in the kitchen.
Hall: Throughout the evening all of the guests reported that they heard the sound of footsteps hurrying in the hall. The guests were not all together in the same room at the same time once dinner was over, and no-one has admitted to being in the hall for any prolonged period of time. Miss Scarlett was the first to retire to bed, but did she go straight to her room? Were hers the hurried footsteps heard in the hall by other guests?
Lounge: On leaving the dining room, Mrs Peacock made her way to the lounge where she relaxed on the sofa listening to music. When asked why she left dinner early, she merely replied that she had a desire for her own company. Dr Black called upon her briefly, before reportedly returning to his guests. Colonel Mustard was the first to join Mrs Peacok. When Professor Plum entered the room he reported that both Colonel Mustard and Mrs Peacock looked surprised to see him. �Both were looking very mysterious�, he claims.
Dining Room: A sumptuous feast was prepared for the guests in this lavish room. Mrs White selected the menu wand supervise the preparation of this memorable meal. Everyone was said to have enjoyed the culinary delight prepared for them, although Mrs Peacock ate very little as she said she had no appetite. She was the first to leave the dining room but she was reported to have been seen returning later when all the guests had retired to the lounge. What were her reasons for returning to this room? She certainly wasn't looking for any left-overs!
Kitchen: Mrs White spent mot of the evening in the kitchen, despite the fact that she was suppose to be a guest. After dinner she helped to clear away and returned to the kitchen later to prepare a snack for Reverend Green (she was concerned that he merely picked at his food during dinner!). Reverend Green has not mentioned this midnight snack and Mrs White needs to be questioned as to what exactly she was cooking up in the kitchen!
Ballroom: The servants reported that this room was always locked when it wasn't in use. However upon inspection, the detectives found that it was open. Inside the room the curtains were still drawn and very little light shone through. At the back of the ballroom there is an old piano. The lid was up and there was sheet music in the stand! The only member of the party that is at all musical is Professor Plum!
Conservatory: A secret door in the lounge leads to a winding corridor to the conservatory. Which of the guests knew this door existed? Did one of the guests move from the lounge to the conservatory? Or did they sneak into the lounge, before Reverend Green got there, then lay in wait for their victim?
Billiard Room: Colonel Mustard, a keen billiard player, lay down the gauntlet and challenged the male members of the party to a game. The stakes were high and nobody would take up the challenge, except Dr Black who was reported to have said that he might play later. A determined player, Colonel Mustard left the lounge having finished his port, to practise for the tournament. The billiard game did not take place, but we have yet to determine whether Dr Black turned up to take on his opponent, only to be knocked out before the game began.
Library: Both Professor Plum and Reverend Green had reason to enter this room: Reverend Green to collect information for his sermon, and Professor Plum to get some research books (he always made good use of the library on his visits). What needs to e ascertained is whether they visited the library under the pretence of acquiring knowledge, or did one of the other guests decide to look something else up that evening?
Study: Reverend Green was reported to have retired to this room after dinner, to prepare his sermon for the following day. He was noted to have said that he preferred to be away from the frivolity of the other guests. When questioned by the police as to his whereabouts at the time the crime was committed, he answered that he remained in the study until he went to bed. He said goodnight to no-one. Police are anxious to ascertain whether he was aware that the secret door leading to the kitchen was open? Indeed, did he open it himself?

I spotted ChonSiam the previous night on my way to Yok Yor for dinner and after noticing the sign offering $4 Boat Noodles and Hoy Tod (Crispy Mussel Omlette) for $10.90 I knew it wasn't going to be a long wait for my return to try both of these offerings. I asked the wait staff what time they opened secretly hoping that I might be able to enjoy the Hoy Tod for breakfast as I believe that it typically when it is eaten in Thailand. Sadly that wasn't going to be an option as they open at 11 which really wasn't a problem as I was always going to be back down that way for lunch anyway. If I'd been able to eat three meals a day in Haymarket I would have.
I've tried a few variations of Hoy Tod including one with oysters in Bangkok and a few mussel versions in Melbourne and this was easily one of the best. For starters the serving was massive, much bigger than any I've enjoyed previously. I'm not normally one to get excited over large servings but I was having a late lunch and the banana I had for breakfast had long since lost its appetite suppressing effects. The ChonSiam Hoy Tod was much thicker and almost frittata like with crispy textural edges that yield to a soft creamy inner peppered with luscious plump mussels. The idea with Hoy Tod is that you literally drown the whole thing with Sriracha (Thai Chilli Sauce) then break off chunks of the omlette and devour it with the fresh crunchy sprouts. The awesomely huge serving of Sriracha seems excessive at first but I easily managed to empty the bowl.
If I had found this dish in a Thai restaurant within walking distance of my work in Melbourne I would have returned multiple times to enjoy it and was trying to work out how I was going to have time to come back for it again while still finding time to try all the other dishes I'd seen that I had added to my must try list. Sadly this turned out to be my last encounter with ChonSiam's Hoy Tod but at least I have the memories. This was just a truly wonderful meal, if you've never tried Hoy Tod you can't go wrong at ChonSiam. I absolutely loved this dish, it was probably the best thing I ate during my short stay.


Yeah, Black Friday and Star Trek set decoration don't really seem to go together, do they? I'll explain.
This isn't an every-day chair, and set designer Karen Manthey selected these fairly high end stools along with chairs for the Riverside, Iowa, location filmed in L.A. from the Italian design company's selection of futuristic colors. Below is a screen-used version from the set of the film, in the transparent orange variety, which CBS Paramount sold at auction a few years ago with a handful of other props from this scene. Target has the transparent red-colored version of the chair. At $300-400 per chair, Target Stores must be doing fine in this troubled economy!
If you're wanting to bring some of the Star Trek futuristic look to your own home, you can buy these online in the bar stool version or a chair version, which also was used in the Riverside bar scene in the film–for the Star Trek fan who has everything, as they say.
Or if you decide to use the Target Portrait Studio this season and you want to get a little sci-fi slant to your photo, ask to use this chair, and send the photo along and we might post it here. Very unusual to see these obscure chairs as we roamed on Black Friday.
While we're discussing the Riverside bar scene, below are photos of detail of a screen-used cadet sweater worn by background female cadets in the 2009 Star Trek film. This is the same uniquely knitted costume sweater as worn by Zoe Saldana playing Uhura as she sat on the bar stools in the above scene in the film.
Check out the Anovos website for other custom gift ideas for your favorite Trekker or Trekkie.

Homeless people can then visit the cafe, remove a post-it and redeem it for the food or drink that has already been purchased. Some customers also pay for wraps as well.
Jelly Decruz opened her cafe in Rosegrove, Burnley for struggling families and the homeless to have a Christmas meal in December 2017. Her seventeen year old daughter, Leonie, entertained their guests by singing, and numerous volunteers helped. She is planning to hold a similar event in the summer.
In a previous post I gave ten examples of ways that caterers could help the homeless and with food banks. I am always looking for caterers who help others to showcase on this site and I'd be extremely grateful if you know of others who would like to be mentioned. Few advertise the good works they do!
Publicans Ben and Wayne Taylor-Jones have launched a scheme to try and take the homeless and hungry off the streets and into safety. They currently help between 30 and 40 people a week. The give them "a butty and a brew" and offer them blankets and sleeping bags to take away. It's costing them approximately £50 a week to do this! They are also looking into the possibility of opening a soup kitchen.
The Goring Hotel has formed a partnership with the Passage Homeless Resource Centre, and launched the Hotel School . It teaches homeless people the basics of the hospitality industry and helps them into full-time work.
This café gives rough sleepers training and the confidence to find employment. The owner, Julius, works with one person at a time. He also operates the 'Pay it Forward' scheme and has given away over 7,000 coffees and 5,000 meals.
The Empty Plate cafe is the first of its kind in Worthing and serves hot, healthy and nutritious meals, which are available to everybody in the local community. The "pay as you like" concept means that meals are available to everybody regardless of their financial situation, this means that we can actively help those who really need it.
Elysia is a social enterprise. They are committed to reducing food waste, giving access to more people high quality artisan local food and creating economic value to all their stakeholders (producers, employees, partners, clients) with a dynamic ethical ecosystem.
(i) Handpicking the products from local producers that would otherwise be discarded due to supply and demand imbalances or failed aesthetic standards.

* Crumbs offer specialist training provision for mixed-ability trainees. They offer pre-employment programmes of learning across sectors including catering and hospitality, administration, leisure and IT to improve skills, confidence, health and employability.
* They equip their trainees for employment after they move on from their time at Crumbs.
The aim of this organisation is "to provide food, warmth and nourishment to the homeless and less fortunate of the Isle of Wight".
As the homeless in the Isle of Wight tend to sleep in the woods and fields rather than shop doorways, they are less visible. The Pop Up Soup Kitchen has vans that take hot soup and food parcels to the homeless. Local businesses, people and friends help with the provision of food – food that would have gone to landfill.
Trevor Blaney, the founder of the charity, has a dream to have a waste food restaurant with a chef. He wants to pull people together for the common good.
Dishoom is an excellent example of a caring caterer. It is an Indian restaurant chain that has donated over five million meals to charity since it started its 'Meal for a Meal' initiative. It is helping to feed school children both in the UK and abroad.
In 2015, during Ramadan, Dishoom began working with Magic Breakfast to help them end hunger as a barrier to education in the UK.
Magic Breakfast is a charity with one objective – to make sure no child starts their school day too hungry to learn. It's unbelievable that, in the UK, more than half a million children arrive at school too hungry or malnourished to learn!
Naved Nasir, the executive chef of all the Dishoom sites, explained "We have this philosophy of Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, which is the idea of selfless giving" – so they came up with the idea of a 'Meal for a Meal' initiative.
In addition, for every lunch and dinner eaten at each of the Dishoom restaurants, one child in India gets a school lunch in return, through the charity Akshaya Patra.
The Hawksmoor is another prime example of a caring caterer. It supports the campaign 'Love Food Give Food' run by the charity Action Against Hunger. They add 50 pence to their dessert of the month and have raised over £1 million since 2007.
Carluccios is an Italian restaurant chain who also support Action Against Hunger. They donate 50 pence from each sale of their popular Penne Giardiniera dish, and this caring caterer has raised in excess of £1.2 million.
Since 2016, the Tas Restaurant Group has been working in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. This charity raises vital funds to support seriously ill children and their families. This caring caterer runs numerous events and initiatives to raise funds for the charity.
It is a sad reflection of the times we live in that there is hunger in the UK and abroad, and also that children's hospitals need to raise funds to support their seriously ill patients. Caring Caterers help to plug the gaping hole in our welfare safety net and our cash stricken NHS, as well as helping others abroad living in abject poverty. In a previous blog I gave examples of how caterers and food bloggers could help. I would love to hear from you if you can suggest other ways caterers can help. Additionally, if there are other caring caterers that I have not mentioned and could be added to our showcase of caring caterers please let me know.
For idea on how to dispose of surplus food, here are some organisations that can help you to donate food to worthy causes.


Boston Indoor Bowling Club's Chantal Spencer and Jonathan West have qualified for the National Mixed Pairs final.

Kazuko Yamazaki (Bremerton) graduated from Indiana University with a Ph.D in specializing in the anthropology of dance in 2001. She also studied in the Hanayagi and Fujima schools of traditional Japanese dance in Tokyo and uses her unique perspective as a native performer with an embodied intercultural perspective. By discerning what is most essential in the tradition and distinguish it from features that are incidental, styles that are particular to certain performers, and cultural stereotypes, Kazuko hopes to preserve traditional Japanese dance in its elements.

Q: 'Feeding' a Netty 4 pipeline without a socket I have a set of Netty 4 handlers that I normally chain on top of a ServerBootstrap using EpollEventLoopGroups. However the source of the data will not be a socket; instead I will read from / write to two in-memory buffers. Solution can be Linux-specific.
For now I add a ServerBootstrap to listen to a loopback port, to which I connect with a server and manually feed the data; but I wonder if I can do this without having to use a socket at all.
I considered writing a custom SocketChannel that extends LocalChannel but there are lot of details to consider and I feel out of my depth, honestly.
I have found this repository but it is for Netty 3, not 4:
https://github.com/itm/netty-iostream

A: It sounds like you want to use EmbeddedChannel.
