I met Mindy initially when she did our group disability insurance. Subsequently I had a chance to listen to her as a speaker when she presented retirement planning to the physicians at a large meeting. I was impressed with the clarity of her thought, presentation and how comprehensive she was in discussing retirement planning options.
I had in the past worked with other financial consultants, but none were so thorough and up to date with the regulations. What was impressive was the fact that she was supported not only by her own support staff but a larger organization with plenty of resources and options.
My wife and I met Mindy initially. She was very careful and thorough in assessing our current situations, short term and long-term. She was reviewed our finances and presented options and we have set goals that would work with our financial situation and needs. We talked about re allocating priorities and assets and are now working on a time table we agreed to.
Mindy is ably supported by staff who understands the client's needs, time constraints are willing to work with the client. To date she has not pushed or sold a product and has been genuine in her recommendations. She has helped us identify priorities and has been helping us realize our goals. She understands her limitations and can refer to or work with others like getting the home insurance, tax consultants and legal team for estate planning etc.
Mindy and her team are a well-qualified, non-intrusive, comprehensive financial consultants/advisor who are dependable, friendly and reliable. They are one stop shop for financial planning. Mindy keeps herself current and sends in timely newsletters and her view of the markets.
As young physicians, the burden of student debt from years of training is overwhelming. Melinda has educated my husband and I about loan consolidation, debt repayments and long-term retirement planning. She has helped us organize our goals and priorities so that we can complete loan payments without neglecting other aspects of our financial needs. We now feel confident that we will have all the tools we need to reach our financial goals.
Melinda makes herself available to answer all questions my husband and I have to plan for our future. She takes time to explain things in a simple way. Our discussion always centers around the goals we have those that have changed with time.
I have recommended Melinda and her lovely team to many friends and colleagues. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have a team of experts support your future financial goals. My husband and I feel so good knowing that our family will stay financially sound no matter what. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Melinda has a passion for financial planning. She has a high degree of knowledge related to investments, insurance and retirement. Melinda is competent, responsive and can interact and support individuals with varying degrees of financial knowledge.
While I have a strong financial background and understanding, Melinda is a highly skilled advisor who has served as a valuable sounding board. She is willing to challenge me when needed. The planning work we have done has provided my wife and I a much higher level of confidence that we are on a secure path for the future.
Given the importance of a personal connection to a financial advisor, I seldom refer family (or friends). However, based on my experience with Melinda, along with that of others I know, I have readily referred both my sister and brother-in-law, and my daughter and son-in-law. Despite the logistics of being out-of-state, both have been very happy with their relationship with Melinda and her team.
The most important way Melinda has helped us is planning our transition from earning a paycheck to using our retirement savings as income. She advises us on choosing the timing of when and which account to make withdrawals from to minimize tax implications.
She has helped us plan our dream of expanding our lake home by helping us with budgeting, ways to finance the project and which retirement resource to use to pay for it. Melinda is very thorough in explaining everything and takes time to answer questions.
When our son was looking for an advisor, we recommended Melinda because we trust her to be very helpful and responsive. She takes the time and effort to explain the "why and how" of our investments and how they fit into our retirement strategy in ways which we can easily understand. We feel she would do the same for our son.
I referred my parents to Melinda Wilke for Fee Based Planning because I have confidence in her abilities and expertise. Melinda possesses the credentials that my parents' attorney, who specializes in estate planning, had recommended.
Melinda takes her time to listen and speaks with my parents in a manner which is down to earth and personable.
We feel that Melinda and her team are giving 110% effort to make the most of our investments.
I referred my 2 adult children to Melinda because I am confident that Melinda will ask the questions necessary to understand the short term and long term goals of each of them. Additionally, Melinda will take the time necessary to allow each of them to fully understand what Melinda is recommending to maximize their outcomes.
Melinda is exceptionally intelligent within her areas of expertise. She does a great job of explaining everything in layman's terms so I understand the concepts and approach.
Melinda takes pride in seeing her clients succeed.
Melinda was able to talk through many different retirement scenarios with us that we otherwise wouldn't have considered. We were able to get into in-depth discussion with the amount of time that Melinda spent with us. It was money well spent.
Melinda is someone that I trust. I recommend Fee Based Planning to anyone seeking unbiased advice. We were able to have open discussions without pressure to purchase a product.
I wanted to work with someone who had a fiduciary responsibility to me, not a company.
Even though we have an investment person already, we wanted a separate, disinterested person with a fiduciary responsibility to us to look at our overall financial health related to retirement. Melinda did that for us. It was worthwhile.
We decided to do Fee Based Planning because we pay for someone for legal advice, we pay for tax advice, why wouldn't we pay for professional financial advice? Melinda has the credentials we were looking for.
I recommend Melinda because she was genuinely interested in figuring out what we wanted and needed. She worked with both my husband's and my learning styles. She involved both of us in our planning, took in both of our perspectives, and meshed them into our plan.
Melinda helped us see our choices, she didn't just tell us what to do. She educated us and showed us that there are many ways to reach our goals.
Melinda spent a lot of time educating us, even before we developed our plan.
The process was less stressful that we thought it would be. It was a really smooth experience.

Smells great, lasts long. Makes for a great mood candle once the wick burns down into the candle.
I absolutely love this candle. My only suggestion is that I love the fragrance so much that I wish it was a little stronger.
Advantages: Absolutely a conversation piece.
Disadvantages: Shipping costs because of the weight.
Is there anywhere locally where I can purchase your candles. I live near Atlanta, 45 min from my home.
Very happy with purchase. Fast shipping.
Thank you for the excellent quality candles. They were perfect for the wedding reception centerpieces.

Q: Groupby, sum, reset index & keep first all together I am using the following code and my goal is to group by 2 columns (out of tens of them), then keep the first value of all the other columns while summing the values of two other columns. And it doesn't really work no matter the combination that I tried.
Code used:
df1 = df.groupby(['col_1', 'Col_2'], as_index = False)[['Age', 'Income']].apply(sum).first()

The error that I am getting is the following which just leads me to believe that this can be done with a slightly different version of the code that I used.
TypeError: first() missing 1 required positional argument: 'offset'

Any suggestions would be more than appreciated!

A: You can use agg with configuring corresponding functions for each column.
group = ['col_1', 'col_2']
(df.groupby(group, as_index=False)
 .agg({
    **{x: 'first' for x in df.columns[~df.columns.isin(group)]}, # for all columns other than grouping column
    **{'Age': 'sum', 'Income': 'sum'} # Overwrite aggregation for specific columns
 })
)

This part { **{...}, **{...} } will generate
{
   'Age': 'sum',
   'Income': 'sum',
   'othercol': 'first',
   'morecol': 'first'
}

"Adult-Use (Recreational) Cannabis Dispensary in Framingham"
Coming Soon! Union Twist's Framingham dispensary is currently working with City and State officials to prepare for their opening.
Marijuana consumers in Middlesex county will soon have the legal access to cannabis that they voted for several years ago. Union Twist's Framingham dispensary has gained approval by Framingham's Marijuana Advisory Team to begin working out the details of their host agreement with the city. This agreement will include specific parameters for tax contributions, staffing policies, parking, security, traffic and more. By completing this crucial step, Union Twist's Framingham dispensary positions itself to be one of the first dispensaries in Metro-West and Middlesex County to serve cannabis to adult-use (recreational) customers.
Union Twist's Framingham dispensary is set to be one of three locations for the ambitious cannabis brand. Like other Massachusetts dispensaries with multiple locations, Union Twist's Framingham dispensary will be able to offer consumers a larger and more diverse inventory than single-store operations. When you get a chance to visit Union Twist's Framingham dispensary, you can expect to find an impressive variety of top-shelf whole-bud cannabis flower, concentrates, infused edibles and specialty products.
Locals and Framingham city officials are excited to begin receiving tax revenue from the newly legal cash-crop. All cannabis dispensaries in Massachusetts are required to pay 3% of their total gross back to their community. Jim Haddain of the Metro West Daily News reports that Union Twist's Framingham dispensary estimates they will generate enough sales to contribute $1.2 million to the city in just their first year of operation. It is likely that that Framingham will impose an additional 3% impact fee on Union Twist's Framingham dispensary if they are the first marijuana business to open in the city – doubling the previously mentioned figure to $2.4 million. This subsidy is hoped to make the addition of this cannabis venture to the local business landscape more palatable for Framingham residents who generally oppose marijuana use.
Because Union Twist's Framingham dispensary has yet to open, there is no direct way for the public to contact them at this time.
While you wait for Union Twist's Framingham dispensary to open, you can visit a host of Massachusetts dispensaries that already serve adult-use (recreational) customers. You can make a short trip north to Alternative Therapies in Salem, head south to Verilife in Wareham or Northeast Alternatives in Fall River, or travel west to INSA in Easthampton, NETA in Northampton, Temescal Wellness in Pittsfield, Theory Wellness in Great Barrington or Cultivate in Leicester.
Union Twist's Framingham dispensary is located in Middlesex County and proudly serves the Massachusetts communities of Framingham, Marlborough, Hudson, Ashland, Wellesley, Newton, Westwood, Norwood, Norfolk, Wrentham, Franklin, Concord, Newton, Waltham and Acton.


You can get this slightly unusual cut of meat from different animals, but those that have just arrived from the farm come from Northfield's herd of Aberdeen angus-white park crosses that are bred on home base in Rutland. The meat is hung for at least three weeks before being brought to the Market.
There are a few different ways of cooking the tomahawk, but the method Dom recommends is called the 'reverse sear'. This method of cooking is often found in steak restaurants but is not well known by home cooks. "You start with the steak in the oven at a very low temperature—I set it at 100 degrees, but some people like a little higher. You cook that for about 30 minutes, until the steak has come up to temperature. Then you put it in a pan that is searingly hot and cook it for four to five minutes each side," he explains.
So the next time you are after a celebratory feast, this unusual steak from the heart of the British countryside is definitely worth considering. Just make sure everyone involved brings a healthy appetite—they will need it.


Is Running for Fitness Safe for Seniors?
The days of limiting senior citizens to chair exercises are over. Running for fitness is popular for all ages, and is becoming increasingly popular among older athletes. We now see people over the age of 50 participating in athletic competitions like American Ninja Warrior, and many 5K races offer prizes in Masters categories for older adults.
There are people like Ed Whitlock, who at the age of 73 ran a marathon in 2:54:48. Then there is George Sperzel, who at age 63 has run over 100 competitive races since the age of 60.
A study of the New York City Marathon from 1980 – 2009 found that the percent of finishers younger than 40 years significantly decreased, while the percent of masters runners significantly increased for both males and females.
Dr. Michael Joyner, Mayo Clinic exercise physiologist and expert on aging athletes, states the following: "A lot of concerns about age-appropriate exercise modalities have turned out to be more speculative than real over the years." Decades of research supports this position as elite older athletes demonstrate enhanced performance and are models of this new paradigm.
Whether you've just turned 40 or are over 60, you're now encouraged to try new things that push your body to greater limits. This includes running for fitness, and you can do this even if you weren't active in your younger years.
It may sound overly dramatic to say that you should run for your life, but research is showing that older adults who participate in vigorous activity at least a few times per week can extend their lifespan by more than five years.
According to a 2014 review article in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, "the deterioration we see with aging can be attributed to a more sedentary lifestyle instead of aging itself."
Whether you are 30-years old or over 60, the benefits are the same. Here are just a few: reduced risks for heart disease and high blood pressure; increased bone density and muscle strength; and both psychological and mental health improvements.
Running is one of the best forms of vigorous exercise because it doesn't require expensive equipment and you don't need a lot of time to get the benefit. Even a 20 or 30-minute run will get your heart pounding and the sweat pouring.
It's easy to assume that you will maximize the benefits of running for fitness if you do it daily or at least five times per week, but research has proven this untrue.
One study followed a group of participants for 30 years and found that the best results were enjoyed by those who ran three or four times a week at a slower pace. This means that you don't have to train for a marathon or get your stiff joints racing every day of the week to benefit from running.
Two of the most important rules for preventing running injuries are to know your limits and to listen to your body. If you're over the age of 40 and don't have a long history of running for fitness, settling in for a slow jog and taking regular walking breaks could turn back the clock on your body without putting you at risk for painful injuries.
This often means completing run/walk intervals, where you gradually increase the amount of time that you spend running. There are interval running programs designed to train new runners with this method, but they aren't all suitable for seniors. Look at the Couch to 5K program as a great example. While it was designed for beginners, you may still find it too intense when starting out. You can use this program as an example of how interval training works, but you should create your own program that caters to your current level of physical fitness.
The biggest concern for many seniors is that running for fitness will wear down their joints and cause problems with their knees. It's true that running places more pressure on your joints and ligaments because your feet are leaving the ground, but you don't have to run like a high school track star. If you keep it to a slow, gentle run, you may find that you can run without injuring your knees or any other part of your body.
Remember that important rule for preventing running injuries -- listen to your body. If something hurts, you should stop. Even if you have to start with a power walk and work your way up one 10-second running interval at a time, this is a great way to improve your health.
It's always a good idea to check with your doctor before you start running because they're familiar with your medical history.
DO NOT BEGIN ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM WITHOUT CHECKING WITH YOUR DOCTOR FOR ANY UNDERLYING CONDITIONS THAT MAY PREVENT YOU FROM DOING SO.

Roots & Shoots- 70 Years of Camas Outdoor Centre.
12th November 2018 9th November 2018
[Submitted for the 'Coracle-Journal of the Iona Community'; Wild Goose Publications].
Like many others this year, i've been musing about what Camas reaching it's 70th birthday means to me.
Of course, human settlement in this area stretches into the many centuries, as evidenced by the various palimpsests on the landscape and the Neolithic caches of roasted hazelnut shells springing up all over the place. Camas Tuath itself boasts a number of epochs, with various human populations that have worked the land and sea in different ways over the passage of time.
Part of the tradition I've inherited as a resident staff member here at Camas is the weekly oration of the heritage story to guests on their first night. It's used as a means to orientate them to the history and heritage of Camas. This is a meaning making exercise which introduces the theme of community we explore during the week and, in cultural terms, its fair to say it has become part of our more formal greeting custom.
Of course, as an 'incomer' to the township of Ardfenaig and as a residential worker on behalf of the Iona Community, there are often gaps in my telling, and it is an enlivening and illuminating experience to meet folk whom are part of the Camas story, or possess a particular insight into our forbears that have called this place home. After a while in the telling, and the act of living in community week after week; their stories start to become your own. When fully embodied, the first night oration becomes alive and, with a bit of luck; flickers from the candle flame on the old granite walls to conjour connections from the past into the minds that come together on the circle of nets.
Minnie the Moocher.
One such lineage bearer/heritage keeper, whom I was fortunate to meet this year, was entirely due to the fact that my daughter was born and is being raised at Camas. This was something I shared with this particular sparkly eyed elder that arrived down the track in Spring. I have the sense that she wouldn't wish her name committed to type; so i shan't.
'I don't normally introduce myself…'
she exclaimed as we sat talking on a threadbare couch over a cup of tea in the room formerly known as 'Pooh Corner'.
'I normally just take the time to sit and reflect on the island and pay attention to the nature'.
Enjoying the art of questioning, i learned that this hitherto anonymous superheroine, is one of the many that break into tears of joy on rounding the corner of 'that bit' of the track where the skylark continues to sing. Year in Year Out. Like a Pattern.
I realized I was in the presence of a great human, someone who preferred to sit humbly with the enormous legacy she had left at Camas. The afternoon was spent cycling backwards and forwards through time, walking and talking and reminiscing around the centre as I learned peculiar nuances of the buildings use. I learned of a time when the curriculum for the young people was literally rebuilding the walls of the buildings themselves. That period was, it seems to me, a story that mirrored the early Abbey restoration, except with the remoteness of location, better gender balance and with young people. I was enthralled.
The Old Landmark.
Since those days, Camas has seen major renovation. Notwithstanding the recent physical 'improvements', there have also been some major ontological changes to the spiritual compass that aligns Camas Tuath to the North Star. Perhaps even more so even than the move away from formal Christian worship outlined in Kathy Galloways 'Camas- A Faith Reflection'; was the introduction of the Camas Mission in 1993 by co-coordinators and Moray House students Neil Harvey and Craig Ross:
'Together we seek to enable growth in Love, Respect & Awareness of Self, Others, God & the Environment'.
One cant help but notice that the Camas mission is, aside from the addition of the word 'God'; Colin Mortlock's central maxim in his treatise known as 'The Adventure Alternative'. In the book he outlines our mission as the goal to be realised from walking the edge of various stages of adventurous experience; and coming home again. Colin, an important figure in my life, was the university lecturer & mentor who first insisted that i pay respect to the probability that rocks are sentient beings in their own right. His insights were, and continue to be, to paraphrase the man himself: 'Mindblowing!'
The Camas Mission Statement today is the wheeled cross which the resident team composed of staff and volunteers rally around and attempt to fathom relationships between the aquatron, Bertie's Apple tree and the mysteries of the auroborealis. 'Theological Hospitality', is bloody hard work, but generations of transient communities have been attending to it together here at Camas Tuath over the years. It's our mission… together.
Everybody Needs Somebody to Love.
This embodied approach, with it's roots in adventure education, ensures the accessibility of the centre to folk from all faiths and none. I am left wondering sometimes how this rather radical take is felt by our Christian visitors, where a residential week can go by without any formal reference to Jesus or the teachings of the gospels. Of all the multi-faceted feedback this year, this one takes the biscuit:
"It was a full on 'eucharistic' experience shared with 25 or so other people. Eucharistic, because we shared what we had with each other, above all we shared ourselves. This community is off-grid and broadly self-sufficient, and it opened my eyes to how little we humans really need.
But what we did genuinely need for our physical well-being in terms of food, clothing, friendship, dignity, compassion, was given in abundance, and was really powered by the loving intention of the group as a whole.
It made it real for me that 'All You Need Is Love'… it really is as simple as that, because from Love/Connection flows all else in life, including our physical needs.
I virtually lost all sense of 'needing' though, due to the generosity of the environment. I also had a deep feeling of safety, knowing that if I did need something, the community would enable it.
There's something really wonderful about simplifying our lives like this. Without the usual excess you can see what you have with so much clarity… and from that flows gratitude, and from that flows joy and trust…. and from these things flows even more love!"
[Participant Feedback, Garden Week Oct 2018]
She Caught the Katy.
It was in this, our daily practice of acknowledging the immanence of spirit in the mundane, that i felt compelled to pay my respect to my elder, and as mind raced back and forth through our meagre possessions, I remembered a craft project I'd been working on, one of the boons of maintaining the small copse. Having cut the rods in the depths of winter and sorted them for differing uses; some were straight enough for walking sticks. This particular one, having been recently steam bent, was still tied; as it was to remain in this state several months before the handle would hold it's own form.
It felt meaningful to me as there was a tangible link to the past, there was wisdom and tenacity of our elders in planting those first trees in the Camas garden; a place they were told where 'nothing will grow'.
Much of the 2.5 hectares that delineate the Camas boundary from the common grazings was deer fenced this year and therein was over two thousand trees planted, with more coming up in the nursery to ensure stocking density; 'Abbi's wood' has become a reality. The courage of the early pioneers is what inspired us to undertake the project.
It was a delight to pass it to her. A delight to see tears of joy well up in those beautiful, alive eyes. She'd omitted to bring her own staff from the car so the gift was opportune. We parted well and I watched her walk up the track through the future forest. Passing the baton backwards, as well receiving one forwards in time, is, to my eyes; a genuine act of healing.
Shake a Tailfeather.
During August 2018 we held a ceilidh at Bunessan Hall to celebrate Camas' 70th Birthday. It was well attended, a sea of faces, and; having recently sailed from Barra early that morning; i was overwhelmed by such a large crowd and could hardly recognise a soul. It was with great relief then, when one of the Camas daughters reintroduced herself to me, whilst my own daughter and i were playing with the running water from the tap of the kitchen sink.
We talked for ages and over the course of the conversation, the subject of the gift of the stick from the Camas copse came up.
'It Sprouted' she said.'What? Get off!' I Said,
'No Aye, She hung it on the van, still tied up like you said, it sprouted new leaves out of the top'.
So here we are.
Life is tenacious, it springs forth, anew; finding new and emergent ways that we cannot predict. Happy Birthday Camas, here's to the next seventy years.

A group of NPP members in the Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region who defected to the ruling NDC and were canvassing for skirt and blouse votes against the NPP Parliamentary candidate Mr. J. B. Danquah Adu, have made a sudden u-turn to the NPP.
The group calling itself Potential Allies and True Supporters of the NPP also accused the Eastern Regional Minister Mr. Victor Smith who doubled as the NDC parliamentary candidate for the area, for paying huge sum of monies to influence them on their actions.
The group also protested what they described as unhealthy lies circulating over the alleged defection of one thousand NPP members to the NDC.
Speaking at a press conference to declare their return to the NPP, spokesperson for the group Mr. Nelson Aboagye Boafo noted that the minor squabble that arose in the Abuakwa North NPP primaries was natural and incidental to any electioneering process, and may cause a handful of their members to be disgruntled but must not precipitate a sharp division or advocate for skirt and blouse.
Mr. Aboagye Boafo further stated that, Mr. Victor Smith hooked on the few selfish individuals among them and allegedly paid GHC 50 each to them and also promised to give them a MASLOC loan. They continued that the group had to pay GHC 8.00 for a supposed fee of opening accounts for them but have since not received the loan.
They assured their unflinching support to the NPP, Mr. J. B. Danquah Adu and Nana Akufo-Addo who hails from the area.

This week the VSBA (Victorian School Building Authority) finally released more detailed plans and the arborist report for the Beaumaris Secondary College.
Finally it was acknowledged that the community is concerned about how the construction of OUR SCHOOL is progressing.
Finally we would be allowed to see the process that has been undertaken in assessing these trees, and then by the project architects and landscape architects to design around those of significance.
This plan is dated 8 November 2016. That is 2 weeks after the community protest and 2 weeks after the proposed tree removals were to begin.
When compared to the poor quality plans released prior to the protest, this new plan now shows at least 20 additional trees to be removed.
Since the protest the VSBA has had a second arborist assess the site and also the findings of the original arborist.
The result is that now more trees are deemed necessary for removal.
This is a startling result and when asked about these assessments we are told that the trees to be removed are unhealthy or structurally unsound and could pose a danger some time in the future. These are trees that have been continually assessed over the years while part of the school grounds and have not been considered a problem.
What is worse, is that many of these trees are in open space areas and do not impact the current design in any way.
Who has decided that these trees should go?
The arborist report is a 46 page document that includes tables of trees proposed for removal and for retention. What is confusing is that 17 trees classified with a High retention rating are proposed for removal. 3 more trees of High significance are then assessed as unsuitable for retention.
The arborist has given 20 trees a High Retention Rating or Significance and then suggests they be removed.
The arborist report is also overlayed on the architect's design. These trees have not been assessed independently of the design.
The architects have decided what trees are to be removed – Not the arborist.
The VSBA has treated our community with disdain. Trained, educated and experienced professionals who are giving up their own time are being ignored.
A landscape architect representing the values of the community was told that they probably weren't required at a meeting to discuss the trees. A landscape architect who has 10+ years of experience and who is trained to address ALL ASPECTS of a project. That includes knowledge not just of horticulture and design, but also of arboriculture, ecologies, engineering, construction and urban planning.
A landscape architect who understands that proper assessment of a site, it's local environment, ecologies and cultural aspects is the first step in the design process. Who believes in working with existing trees and embracing them as part of the overall design.
The Beaumaris environment was not considered as part of this design.
Throughout this issue, the VSBA has hung their hat on the fact that they have a landscape architect's plan that proposes 5000+ additional plants going on the site.
What they have appears to be open spaces designed by an architect and plant selection by a landscape designer.
Our school and its open space has not been designed by a landscape architect. An architect who is an expert in the building and structures – but is not trained in open space design, horticulture, arboriculture or ecology – has decided which trees are to be removed and where new plants need to go.
This is not the way to a good design outcome.
Jason, I don't believe a landscape architect was ever involved (registered or graduate). The plans that we see are by a firm of horticulturists, with a limited view of existing site values. It's a disgraceful result when they decide to remove our old River Red Gums.
I agree Jill. They have been throwing around the idea that a landscape architect has been involved which is clearly not the case.

Carry A Nation: Prairie Radical
KWIT | By James C. Schaap
Published June 18, 2018 at 3:12 PM CDT
You got to love Carry A. Nation, a woman who listened when the Lord God almighty told her to uphold the law in Kansas and bring to an glorious end the miserable indecency of those who pedaled booze in utter disregard of the law.
Her hometown of Medicine Lodge, Kansas, was right down the dirt road from Dodge City, a place whose name speaks the language of "the wild west," and she wasn't in the wrong about the law. In 1880, the state of Kansas passed a bill banning the sale of liquor, a law that was rather prodigiously broken when small-town constables simply looked the other way or slammed down a drink or two themselves, smiling wryly all the while.
Her story has its horrors. Her first marriage ended in disaster when her husband, a young doctor named Charles Gloyd, lost her and everything else to the bottle. Their child had severe health problems her mother forever blamed on drink.
It might just be enlightening to be able to walk the wooden sidewalks of small towns throughout our part of the world and see for ourselves what burdens the bottle laid on frontier families. Carry Nation decided something had to be done; so, one by one, she picked off the seven local watering holes in Medicine Lodge, she and a mob of righteous women loud enough to force bar owners to shut the places down.
They set Mr. Mort Strong on the road to glory by walking into his saloon and filling the place with hymns and prayers and curses so untoward they invoked the fires of hell. Then, emboldened, Carry A. Nation turned her attention on a saloon belonging to a Mr. Henry Durst.
Ms. Nation thought to smoke Durst out by gathering her ladies just outside with a tumult of prayer and singing--and now a then a good strong curse or two or three. Twice a day, her crusaders held prayer vigils so charged with righteous indignation town streets would glow with praise.
Durst wasn't taking it with his elbows up on the bar. He went right after her. But Carry Nation grabbed his lapels and screamed in his ears that he was bound to hell if he kept selling hooch.
Mostly, however, the ladies practiced non-violence. No matter. Eventually, Durst threw in the bar rag and left town, as did all the other drinkeries, all of them gone. Carry A. Nation cleaned up Medicine Lodge. The law triumphed.
Flush with victory, she and the tee-totalers went down the road to Kiowa, Kansas, where she walked into a saloon brandishing a hatchet and busted up the place as if she were filming a Western herself. With that hatchet, her notoriety grew like a prairie fire into fulsome celebrity, gathering a world-wide following among those who'd come to know the perils of liquor by the drink or by the bottle. Carry A. Nation became her own righteous side show, selling little brass tomahawks as souvenirs of her 0wn brand of hot-blooded moral rectitude.
She gained so much righteousness that she even took on her own husband, Rev. David Nation. He wasn't even a Christian, she said, despite the fact that he was a preacher in a local church. There were Sabbath meetings when she made a circus out of worship by interrupting his sermons to let him know what he should be saying. Eventually, her husband's congregation tossed her the heck out.
No matter. Carry A. Nation knew what was Christian and what wasn't, and if she didn't know, she prayed until she did. It was that easy.
The woman never quit. In her dotage, she still grabbed cigars out of men's chops, made fun of the well-upholstered fat cats, argued for women's suffrage, and battled booze. She'd spent her adult life beating on others and being beaten in return. She knew what jail cells looked like, even from the inside.
She was, I'm sure she'd be happy to tell you, a praying woman, wild as a prairie sky, as great a saint and sinner as any of us will likely ever be.

Cabling industry cannot be confined to any particular territorial region within the US. The only variation is in the quantity and usage. The more populated areas require heavy cabling to be done while less populated are lightly cabled. With the coming of technology cabling industrial has drastically progressed so much that a variety of cables with different calibre and cost ranges are easily usable in the grocery store. The contractors are usually the real buyers of cabling products. Cabling industry technically is divided into two aspects, first the manufacturing industry, i.e. before the product hits the market and second, consumers, after the product hits the market. Today market is overflowing with products, as US has opened its gates for trade in the international marketplaces.
The first, that means, the manufacturing of the cables, this a very crucial part. If the product is not manufactured right, it could risk the lives of several, since cables are usually used for transmitting some form of energy. This stream of energy is so quantified that it cannot be worked with. Therefore, the engineers and technical staff have to take due care while manufacturing process. The manufacturing unit's manufactures different style cable, like cat5, cat6, Ethernet cable, UTP cables and so on.
The manufacturing engineers have to be very cautious while putting the internal wires and chips, any mistake at this part could cause unpredictable amount of damage. The managers also require to be speculative and analytic while marketing the product. By the moral excellence of US laws the products have to satisfy the designated criteria as per the character of the product, also when it comes to marketing of the product the guidelines have been provided by both the federal and provincial laws.
Speaking about the second facet of the industry, once the product comes to the stores, it is usually the contractors who need big projects of cabling in a residential or commercial belongings. The contractors at this end are more accountable when it comes to choosing the right and appropriate product for the cabling job assigned to him or his agency. The contracts have to disclose to their clients the actual pricing of the product and their fee as two different financial transactions. It then becomes the responsibility of the contractor to install the approved product by the customer. The contractors also need to be aware of the power a cable can sustain, since different lines are available for different electric potential and use. Negligent approach can also cause the contractor to be litigated under the consumer protection act, comprised by the legislative body to save consumers from being ripped off in any sense as buyers.
A cabling contractor under the professional ethics code, should constantly furnish the best advice to their clients. This advice can be only rendered, if the cabling contractor, he is mindful of the market value of each product. A thorough market research, study of individual products before using and going through reviews of the product. The professional services required for this industry are superiorly high as safety of several is at stake. The profession requires passion and excellent management skills. A social PR and a good reputation. Several freelancing contractors are doing excellent in the field. It is also one's personal commitment towards their profession that counts.
To conclude, cabling industry is a fast paced industry. It is majorly divided into two sectors, first is the manufacturing units and the second is the consumers, which are usually contractors. Negligence at either of the end could risk the life of others and reflect badly on the manufacture. In the US, the consumer protection laws allows consumers to sue, if the services provided by the service provider do not match the quality claimed or differs in any way that could lead to injury. Cabling industry has accommodated and employed several individuals with professional or manual skills. It is a well-paying professional avenue, but it most certainly required superior professional ethics. This industry cannot survive alone and it needs to be associated with several other ventures in order to be fully explored. Cables seem simple and easy to install but they need skills to be properly fixed. A professional must have a good knowledge of the industry, resources and products. Cabling industry adds to the economy to the country and has given birth to several entrepreneurs.


Apprehensive and reprehensive are two words that are very similar in pronunciation and spelling, and are often confused. We will examine the definitions of the word apprehensive and reprehensive, where these words came from and some examples of their use in sentences.
Apprehensive describes the feeling that something bad will happen, or feeling anxious or uneasy about the future. Apprehensive is an adjective, related words are the nouns apprehension and apprehensiveness as well as the adverb apprehensively. Anxiety has become a major mental health disorder, and may display symptoms as minimal as a slight sense of foreboding to a feeling of all-out panic. The word apprehensive is also used in rare instances to describe the ability to perceive something. It is derived from the Latin word apprehendere, which means to grasp or take hold of. Presumably, the idea is that anxiety or unease takes hold of the person in question.
Reprehensive describes someone who is deserving of rebuke, someone who has perpetrated something that deserves censure or some type of reprimand. Reprehensive is an adjective, related words are the noun reprehension and the adverb reprehensively. The word reprehensive is derived from the Latin word reprehendere which means to blame or rebuke.

( « Le Mandalorien ») est une série télévisée américaine en prise de vues réelles créée par Jon Favreau dans l'univers de la saga . L'histoire se déroule cinq ans après Le Retour du Jedi et vingt-cinq ans avant Le Réveil de la Force et raconte les aventures d'un mercenaire mandalorien au-delà des territoires contrôlés par la Nouvelle République.

Le premier épisode de la série marque le lancement de la plateforme  sur le territoire nord-américain le  puis dans plusieurs pays européens à partir du , à l'exception de la France où elle est diffusée à partir du  et de la Belgique à l'été 2020.

Synopsis

L'univers de  se déroule dans une galaxie qui est le théâtre d'affrontements entre les Chevaliers Jedi et les Seigneurs Noirs des Sith, des individus sensibles à la Force, un champ énergétique mystérieux leur procurant des pouvoirs psychiques. Les Jedi maîtrisent le côté lumineux de la Force, pouvoir bénéfique et défensif, pour maintenir la paix dans la galaxie. Les Sith utilisent le côté obscur, pouvoir nuisible et destructeur, pour leurs usages personnels et pour dominer la galaxie.

Cinq ans après la chute de l'Empire et la fondation de la Nouvelle République, le métier de chasseur de primes ne paie plus. Le Mandalorien, surnommé Mando, connu pour être un des plus redoutables chasseurs de primes, accepte un contrat non officiel. Il s'agit pour lui, moyennant une prime élevée, de retrouver et de ramener à ses commanditaires un être vivant de 50 ans. En cours de mission, Mando découvre que, malgré son âge, c'est un bébé ou un enfant de la même espèce que Yoda. Il découvre aussi que sa cible maîtrise déjà la Force. Après avoir rempli son contrat auprès d'un vieil homme portant un insigne de l'Empire entouré de nombreux Stormtroopers et touché la prime, le Mandalorien se ravise et revient sauver l'Enfant. Il doit ensuite prendre la fuite avec lui, poursuivi par tout ce que la galaxie compte de chasseurs de primes lancés à leurs trousses, ainsi que par une garnison d'impériaux émergeant des cendres de l'Empire…

La deuxième saison est centrée autour de la quête du Mandalorien qui doit parcourir la galaxie à la recherche du peuple de l'Enfant, un ordre de sorciers appelés , afin de le lui remettre. Il trouve au passage des alliés de poids : Boba Fett, la mandalorienne Bo-Katan Kryze, et Ahsoka Tano.

Personnages

Principaux
 Le Mandalorien : Din Djarin, orphelin sauvé et recruté par des Mandaloriens. Il a une haine profonde pour les droïdes, en effet, c'est l'armée droïde de la Confédération des systèmes indépendants (CSI) qui pendant la guerre des clones a tué ses parents. À la fin du Chapitre 16, après avoir vaincu le Moff Gideon et sauvé Grogu, il gagne le Sabre Noir.
 Grogu : il est de l'espèce de Yoda. Sensible à la Force, il est l'enfant convoité par Moff Gideon. Son nom est dévoilé par la Jedi Ahsoka Tano.
 Kuiil : ex-esclave impérial qui a reprogrammé IG-11. Il est tué par des Scout Troopers en protégeant L'Enfant (saison 1).
 Greef Karga : le dirigeant de la Guilde des Chasseurs de primes, qui a une certaine affection envers Din Djarin.
 IG-11 : droïde de la série IG, droïde assassin détruit par le Mandalorien quand il a voulu tuer l'Enfant. Reprogrammé par Kuiil, sa fonction première est donc devenue « protéger ».

Une fois Grogu sauvé, Boba retourne sur Tatooine, à l'ancien palais de Jabba le Hutt, tue Bib Fortuna  et s'empare de son trône avec Fennec Shand à ses côtés.
Fennec Shand : tueuse à gage laissée pour morte par Toro Calican, un jeune chasseur de primes sur Tatooine. Ce dernier sera tué par le Mandalorien.

1. When I am synchronizing with MI Server, the requests are going in I-Waiting work lists in work list monitor.. What could be the reason for it.
2. I require clarification as to exact purpose of the variants used in Master data selections of the MAM configuration. Is it to reduce the replicator database or to reduce the handheld database.
A. The FL variant downloads all the necessary FL to the MI server. We havent assigned the variant to the user so as download the ony the FLs related to work orders.
C. The measurement point variant downloads the measurement points related to the FLs mentioned in the FL variant.
In the above scenario, we are able to download Work orders, Functional locations but not able download measurement points. In our scenario, we dont have equipments and measurement points are related to FL directly. The work list monitor displays "No data from R/3 downloaded".
Is it due to the MAM configuration ?
Can I debug the synchronization process in MI server so as to simulate the events happening when a synchronization is requested from MI client.
This could be mainly because one of your inbound records has gone in partial state. Kindly ignore the record and trigger handlers for the I-waiting records. Make sure you have sufficient number of handlers available.
If this not the case then regenerate the syncBos and enable them, if you have not done so.
If you are talking about the variant used in the backend system, those are basically for keeping a copy with proper values with you so that you need not type them everytime.
> Is due to MAM Configuration?
This could be the cascading relatation between equipments and measurement points and some other entity. Kindly check the 'Catalog Code Group'. You need to make an related entry for each measurement point under this.
I have checked the worklists. None of them are in the partial state.
Does it mean that handler is busy in processing some other task.
How can I verify if the handlers are working fine.
NEVER set a I-waiting records to ignore status. ONLY I-PARTIAL records should be set to ignore status.
I had a similar error once.
Check if all the MAM syncBos are active.
Kindly check transaction ST22 for any dumps; sometimes they are not displayed to the user. It will give info about which syncBo is malfunctioning. If you can find the same, kindly renegerate it and activate. If cannot locate any such syncBo then as I have already suggested renegenerate all the MAM syncBos and activate them.
Question 1: Two possible reasons for I-Waiting - breakpoint in backend BAPI and it waits for action. Or one of the SyncBOs is not activated (very common reason, check merep_pd).
Question 2: "Master data selection" is for replication. Technical objects on the device are coming from three sourses - when they are referenced on order and notif header level, when they are in order object list (and this is activated on the backend), standalone TOs configured in "user-dependent data".
Normally, if order references FL, FL should come to the device, if this FL references Meas. Point it should come to the deice as well. If you check logs for FL you will probably see "cascading error" for the meas. point. Few things to check - this meas. point is returned by the BAPI MAM041_getlist so it is suposed to be replicated. If it is in the list - check BAPI MAM041_getdetail to see that it does not return error. No error - check DB on the middleware to see that it is indeed replicated.
2) In work list monitor check if any entry is in Partial state...if so..ignore it and reprocess it.
Records coming into Waiting state in Outbox means all records have come to the client DB from there (after sync) data should be present in client DB.
The issue of sync requests going to I-Waiting is also resolved when I reset the Mi client database, regenerated the Sync Bos and replicated again.

Demodex: The microsopic mites continued to come to the forefront as a potential factor in rosacea. This year, its role in the disease process came into sharper focus, with further understandings of the potential mechanism of action as well as new technology for further approaches in patient care.
Genetics: The role of genetics has long been implicated in rosacea, and Dr. Anne Chang of Stanford University reported the results of an NRS-funded study that found genetic variants associated with the disease. In another NRS-funded study, Dr. Daniel Popkin of Case Western University found that genetics and environmental factors may contribute equally to the disorder.
Sun Damage: The signs and symptoms of rosacea can sometimes mimic the signs of telangiectatic photoaging (TP) or sun damage. For the first time, a study funded by the NRS documented the clinical differences between the two disorders, aiding health professionals in appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Increased Risks: New medical research also pointed to significantly increased health risks associated with rosacea. An analysis of over 33,000 patients suggested a broader connection between rosacea and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, while another study showed that rosacea patients may have an increased risk of thyroid cancer and the skin cancer basal cell carcinoma. Similarly, another study found that rosacea patients may be more likely to suffer from other chronic issues such as allergies, asthma, gastrointestinal disease and diabetes.
New Research Funding: In addition, the NRS was pleased to announce the funding of three new research grants to Dr. Gideon Smith at Harvard University, Dr. Lori Lee Stohl at Cornell University and Dr. Daniel Popkin at Case Western Reserve University.
Consumer Campaign: The NRS also participated in "Break Up With Your Makeup," a national campaign aimed to educate patients across the country about the signs and symptoms of rosacea and empower them to feel as confident as possible about their skin. Patients were challenged to submit a no-makeup selfie on Instagram with a 100-word story for the chance to win a trip to the 2015 New York Film Festival. More than 300 patients from across the country entered their submission with more than 9,000 votes tracked.
Website Expansion: Rosacea.org continues to grow as the leading online resource for information on rosacea. This year, the NRS launched several new additions to its website, including a patient page on When to see a Doctor, a section focused on the potential Causes of Rosacea, and The Ecology of Your Face, which explores the human microbiome's relationship to rosacea. In addition, an updated Treatment Algorithm page is now available to better assists health professionals in diagnosing and treating the disorder.
Today researchers are closer than ever to understanding the physical causes of rosacea, which may lead to significant advances in its treatement, prevention and potential cure. In 2016, the NRS looks forward to continuing to raise awareness of rosacea and supporting medical research while serving the more than 16 million Americans estimated to suffer from this often life-disruptive disorder.
To help the NRS continue to fund important research into this common and often devastating disorder, please consider making a tax-deductible donation. Simply donate online, or send a check to the National Rosacea Society, 196 James Street, Barrington, IL 60010.

Over the past two weeks, Ivybridge Community College has become a place where worlds collide – the Beast from the East and the WeST; fiction and non-fiction; classical and modern; fantasy and reality.
This year, World Book Day was held on Thursday, 1 March with the theme of 'Share a Story'. As always, celebrations started early. From Tuesday, 27 February, staff from all departments were 'popping up' to share a story at lunch times. As the College prepared for the next day of excitement, the snow took hold. Like something from a CS Lewis novel, World Book Day was frozen as the Beast from the East took hold of the South West.
However, the fun continued on Friday, 9 March as 'Ivybridge' Book Day began with a wonderful celebration assembly for Year 7. Mrs Pitcher and Miss Smith assumed the roles of Stanley and Zero from 'Holes' and gave an assembly on the value of reading. They were joined by Mr Michael Saltern, Chair of Governors, who judged the 'Dress like a Book' fancy dress competition. Each Year 7 Tutor Group had chosen a book or theme to dress as, leaving the assembly hall full of Hogwarts students, characters from Roald Dahl stories and many more. Miss Paton's Tutor Group were the winners, who were dressed as the full crew from 'Peter Pan' (including two crocodiles!).
All students and staff then enjoyed 'Drop Everything And Read' for half an hour. There was an air of stillness and contentment as everyone settled and read to themselves or shared a story with fellow classmates.
Lunchtime on Friday brought a buzz of excitement as students raced around the College finding out which characters the staff were dressed as, or which books they were reading, in order to claim a prize from the Learning Resource Centre.
There were several more 'Staff Reading Pop- Ups' and an 'Open Mic' area where students were given the opportunity to read to each other.
There was also a great deal of excitement around the 'Caught Reading' competitions. Students voted for their favourite 'Teacher Caught Reading' picture. Retaining his title from last year, Mr Mitchell won with another water related picture: he was snapped reading as Mr Hargreaves threw a water balloon at him from point blank range!
This year also saw the emergence of the 'Tutor Group Caught Reading' competition, with Tutor Groups from across the college submitting their pictures of them all caught reading.
The extended celebrations for World Book Day have provided both staff and students with the chance to talk about books and share their stories for no other reason than because they want to, encouraging a College-wide culture of reading for pleasure.

Credit Suisse Asset Management gets HK nod
The firm wins approval to start business in Hong Kong and announces plans for Korea.
Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission yesterday (Thursday) granted Credit Suisse Asset Management a license to carry out business. The move comes as Hong Kong's wholesale asset management business booms. Figures published by the SFC show that assets under management in Hong Kong increased by 23% during 2004 to a record of HK$3,618 billion ($465 billion).
Sources suggest that while CSAM has had an office in Hong Kong for a number of years, it was actually doing international business and not carrying out local work. In starting the new onshore business CSAM is looking to win new mandates from government and local institutions as well as set up new distribution channels for its products.
"The asset management business in Asia is crucial to Credit Suisse's overall regional strategy and commitment, and we're eager to strategically expand our footprint via our regional hub centered in Hong Kong," says Clayton Coplestone, a CSAM Director in Hong Kong. "We are also working towards building our asset management presence in other significant markets within the region," he added.
One of these new markets is Korea, where CSAM has opened a representative office, again to concentrate on winning more domestic assets. In May, CSAM is said to have scored a big deal with a major local entity, although the firm will not reveal its name.
The firm has also undertaken a local JV in China with ICBC concentrating on funds management. ICBC Credit Suisse Asset Management officially launched on July 5th. On July 26th it launched its first equity fund and sales of this are said to have exceeded expectations.
The moves all point to a growing domestication of Asia's asset management industry, where global players are establishing themselves on the ground with local licenses and regulation to capture domestic mandates. Sources at CSAM suggest that the next two markets it is looking to address are Singapore and India.
Manulife IM, Samsung AM ally to target asset owners with alts

Exclusive asset owner survey: mapping the future for HKD bonds
A survey of around 100 institutional investors across Asia in late 2019 - conducted by AsianInvestor and HSBC Global Asset Management - has revealed the appetite, trends, challenges, opportunities and a potential roadmap for Hong Kong dollar (HKD) bonds in portfolios.
Boosting the appetite of asset owners for HKD bonds

Q: Executing a shell script in Ansible using win_command I have the following Windows script I am running from my prompt to install Chocolatey:
@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command " [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

I am trying to use this in an Ansible playbook the following way:
---

- hosts: windows
  tasks:
  - name: Install Chocolatey
    win_command: @"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command " [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

I keep getting Ansible syntax errors and I believe it has something to do with the mixed used of quotations in win_command and the fact that the command starts with a special symbol "@". I am not sure how I can wrap the command in single quotes or double quotes as the value for win_command uses both quotations at some point. I tested the command locally and the installation is successful.

New Tax Information for Illinois DTC Shippers
In the wake of recent litigation in Illinois accusing wineries of failing to pay the sales tax on shipping charges for wine being shipped directly to consumers in the state, we have updated the tax information on our website with the following information:
The taxability of shipping charges in Illinois is not clear. However, there is a general consensus that, after the Kean decision and despite the unchanged language of the Illinois Department of Revenue's Regulations, such charges on Internet purchases are being treated as taxable by the Department.
Generally, shipments to this region require a sales tax of 6.25% on both onsite and offsite sales of wine, to be paid within 1 year after every year starting January 1, but depending on the member's specific facts, some onsite sales may trigger additional local taxes.
Members of the Wine Institute that have not collected Illinois sales tax on shipping charges and have not been served with a Complaint of a False Claims Act matter should consider whether to file a Voluntary Disclosure Application with the Illinois Department of Revenue.
Note: Wine Institute has been working with attorneys from our Associate Member firm Reed Smith LLP in Chicago who have extensive experience with both Illinois Taxation and False Claims Act matters such as those raised in the recent litigation. They have offered to discuss collection options and other legal options, including a Voluntary Disclosure Application with any Wine Institute member. WI members should contact Annie Bones in the State Relations Department for further information (415) 356-7530.
The information contained on this site is a result of a partnership between Wine Institute and Avalara.

Mayor Ben Houchen visits shipbuilder that's expanded into the Tees Valley
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen has visited a shipbuilder who has found a second home in the Tees Valley.
Parkol Marine Engineering has opened a new facility at Middlesbrough's AV Dawson to expand its business and grow its offerings.
Parkol, established in 1971 in Whitby, is an expert in shipbuilding, employing around 76 people to primarily build trawlers but it also creates other vessels such as workboats and pleasure crafts, and even a 40% sized replica of Captain Cook's Endeavour.
The firm was seeking new premises with extra space to allow them to manufacture larger boats and, after a search, decided on the Tees Valley location in November last year.
Mayor Houchen said: "I'm delighted to welcome another business that has decided to make the Tees Valley its home.
"Parkol speaks to our heritage but is a forward-looking company that has had a long and prosperous life. I'm sure that, with their expertise and the new boats they can build thanks to this move, their success will also be felt across our region and I look forward to working with them and hearing about their next good news story."
Parkol's managing director Jim Morrison said: "Expanding to our new Middlesbrough facility has given us the opportunities to build larger vessels.
"This is the start of a new chapter in Parkol's life and, thanks to this facility, the sky's the limit in what we can achieve. I'm looking forward to us playing an important part in the region's economy for years to come, and growing our firm even further."
