String Cheese 1 lb This snack time favorite is a fresh cows milk Mozzarella, made by the Knaus Cheese Company. It has a rubbery texture and is made famous by the small stringy pieces that can be pulled off. It has a sweetly mild flavor with almost no odor or aftertaste.

This story makes specific reference to a 21 year old who committed suicide after 3 trips to the University Health Services, only one of which her mother knew about.
Before that moment my thinking had evolved. Not least because I realized how outraged I would be if a doctor, counselor, psychiatrist did not tell me about important, serious things my daughter might disclose to her.
Working in a clinic that saw many teens, and consulting to local High Schools, I decided I could treat an 18 year old as an adult, and a 14 year old as a child. The child would always be seen with his or her parents. In between 14 and 18 the child had to prove he or she was "adult", in order to be seen alone. And by adult I mean have at least a rudimentary sense of personal responsibility, at least a rudimentary sense of the consequences of certain behaviors, at least a rudimentary sense of not being the center of the universe, at least a lessening of that knee jerk oppositional response to parents and any other authority, and at least a small decay in that adolescent sense of omnipotence.
They never fought me very hard on that because, really, they need and want their parents to know about their troubles. They want their parents to parent them. And that includes setting boundaries (protecting them) as well as loving and supporting them.
There was a time when I would ask a teenager something privately, working on the assumption that a.) In the presence of his parents he would not reveal the truth, and b.) His parents may not be ready to hear the answer. Sexual activity and orientation for example.
But my thinking evolved again. I concluded that, instead, a.) There is nothing I as counselor, physician, psychiatrist should know about a teen that his or her parents should not know and b.) Most family secrets are known or suspected by other family members already, and c.) If the parents have a bad, primitive, nasty reaction to the news, it would be better to have it in my presence.
So now I always see a child or teenager with his or her parent(s) and I ask whatever questions I need to ask. And I watch and I listen.
Occasionally I am talked into seeing a teen alone by a parent who insists I do so, and occasionally because the parent did not show up. It is always a futile exercise. It is not far off the metaphor of the blind man describing an elephant. There is one exception to this of course. Once in a while we run into a teenager who is more mature than either of her parents. In social work jargon, this is the 'parentified' teenager looking after the welfare and feelings of her parent(s).
I am talking about teenagers here, but it is not age that defines them. It is social, psychological, financial, emotional dependence on others. Their welfare depends on others.
But none of us is an island. Our health, our mental health, our welfare depends on others. So my policy of seeing teens with parent(s) has expanded to anyone who is financially, emotionally dependent on another. That includes college students, young "adults".
I am seeing them because they are in trouble. If the trouble has to do with drugs, alcohol, relationships, money, failing – parents are in a better position to help than I am, or, at least, their support is necessary. If the young person suffers from a mental illness, then I may be able to treat that illness with or without the parents, but I want them informed and helping and supporting.
To prevent that bind, privacy trumping parental concern and good care, we need merely see them together. The patient and his or her family. Together. In the same room at the same time.
So include them right from the beginning. Even bad parents, those who do all the wrong things (well-intentioned or not) should be included. For the child spends far more time with, is more dependent on, is more influenced by or reacting to, his parents than myself. Include them. Teach them if you can. Even if the teen objects before entering the interview room, persist, because he will change his mind very quickly once he understands he will be heard as well.
Don't give up on parents, family, until you see with your own eyes that they are hopeless, unhelpful, or destructive. When that is the case, unfortunately, we must counsel, treat, care for, look after someone who is not yet an adult as if he or she is a responsible, self-sufficient adult.
I will try to do something I shouldn't do with so little information. Understand Omar Mateen. I will try to do this in an attempt to counter the glib labels, the quick rhetoric based on anger and political need.
Omar was raised by an Afghan immigrant family. His father was grandiose and homophobic, a Mujaheen fighter who promoted himself to general years later. Omar had a troubled childhood and adolescence according to school records. He was identified early on as an angry and violent troublemaker. But he married, had a child, beat his wife regularly. Her family rescued her from him. He acquired another, second young wife of Palestinian origin, again through an internet connection. He was not particularly devout. He drank a fair bit. He worked as a security guard and wanted to be a police officer. He took selfies that display an excessive narcissism and attention to appearance.
He became a patron of a gay club, attended drag shows, he may have been a regular. He may or may not have expressed disgust to his father about homosexuality.
Lately, at least, he attended a mosque several times a week. He spent enough time looking at radical Islamic websites and talking about this to alert the FBI twice. He had easy access to serious weapons.
He was a confused, lost, angry man. He was probably gay or had homosexual yearnings that would have disgusted his father and perhaps himself.
He was a man seeking answers or an answer for his self-loathing, his anger, his failures. Unfortunately he found a single answer and acted upon it.
We don't know if he had a treatable mental illness. We do know he was a Muslim who had, at least, gay yearnings, violent tendencies, excess narcissism, drank alcohol, failed in his relationships, had easy access to weapons, and access to toxic websites proposing violence and martyrdom.
Probably loathed himself for his homosexual yearnings.
Found an answer in martyrdom.
Easy access to automatic weapons.
On the FBI watch list.
Chose a target in line with his own self-loathing and extreme Islamic teaching.
Are there lessons in any of this? How do we prevent a re-occurrence?
Continue to try to eliminate homophobia by education, demonstration.
Ensure effective mental health services are available for children and teens.
Muslim leaders must be as clear as possible that these kinds of actions are abhorrent. They should be specifically clear they don't believe in martyrdom or rewards for such in the afterlife. Rather than vague statements about Islam being a religion of peace they need to specifically denounce those passages of the Koran that appear to sanction violence.
The FBI needs to look for any red flags they might have missed.
The world needs to isolate and defeat ISIS but in doing so not create fertile ground once again for an angry radical group to emerge.
We need to look at counter measures to fight their slick impressive videos and calls to arms.
But, again, in this list there is but one action that could specifically reduce killings in relatively short order. And that is GUN CONTROL. There is no reason on earth a civilian should own a combat weapon. I don't think there is any reason a civilian should own a gun period. But at least let's start with eliminating those weapons that can kill so many people so easily and quickly.
It is not a matter of good gun owners or bad gun owners. Any owner of an automatic weapon, if not intent on using it some day, fantasizes about using it. Let's get rid of them.
Adolescent suicide is a tragic event. It can have a devastating and life long impact on others: parents, siblings, teachers, relatives, counselors, friends.
Five Woodstock, Ontario teens have taken their own lives since January this year. A very high number for a small community.
If this were a cluster of deaths from respiratory causes we would surely investigate with a team comprised of a respirologist, an epidemiologist, and the public health officer.
Thus our first step here should logically be an investigation by an epidemiologist, a psychiatrist, and the public health department. Let us first see if these deaths are a result of undetected, untreated mental illness, if the teens know one another in real life or through social media, if they are all browsing the same toxic websites, or if each has been the target of bullying or something worse, or a combination of these. Let us try to understand before rushing into awareness programs, school assemblies, more crisis lines.
There are several good reasons to not rush to "talking about it" as the answer. These are teenagers, not adults. We know from anti-smoking programs, when we gathered our high school students into the auditorium to talk to them about the horrors of smoking and showed them videos of cancer-ridden lungs and COPD sufferers gasping for breath, the number of teens taking illicit puffs at the local smoking pit increased. Increased. Not decreased, increased.
We are also living with the paradox of contemporary times when kids are inundated with suicide awareness programs, when every school counselor and nurse asks every troubled kid the question, when each community has an advertised crisis line, when the question "do you ever think of harming yourself?" is asked on countless questionnaires and surveys, when our teens are communicating with each other around the clock, when information on any and every subject is as available as the nearest smartphone, and when we are in the midst of public discourse about assisted suicide. It is in these times, not in the 50's, 60's, or 70's ( when the word suicide would only be said in the same whisper as syphilis), that clusters of teens are committing suicide.
But what I am trying to say is that we should investigate these phenomena before we rush to "solutions", especially with teenagers. They are not adults. They often do things just because they have recently learned those things are possible to do. They are often more intrigued when adults bend over backwards to warn them of danger.
The adolescent brain has lost some of the intuitive avoidance and fear of the child's brain. It is developing some reasoning and analytic processes to replace these. But it does not have the breadth and depth of experience of the adult brain, nor the ability to consider the distant future and the effect on others. The adolescent brain tends to live entirely within its present context.
So far, with teens, my own informal survey has resulted in answers of "yes or maybe or I'd consider it" 100 percent of the time.
I am not saying we should downplay suicide and it's tragic consequences. I am saying that we should treat an increase, a cluster of suicides like any other serious outbreak of illness. We should study it without pre-judging. And when teens are involved we should take into account their contrary minds.
We should help family and friends cope with these tragedies, but we should investigate before we plan a preventive intervention.
Like many, I was saddened to see Harambe shot. Was he helping the toddler as the initial photo may have suggested or was the toddler in danger as the subsequent video suggested? I have no idea! But I am astounded that there are seven petitions out there for people to express their dismay. One petition is approaching 500,000 signatures as I write this while another is getting close to 200,000 signatures.
That's a lot of people who want justice for the gorilla.
Sadly, there is far less of an outcry when someone with untreated mental illness gets shot by the police. According to the Washington Post, a quarter of those shot by the police in the US were mentally ill. In Canada, according to a recent documentary on police shootings, 40% of those shot by the police are in a mental health crisis.
Shootings of those with untreated mental illness is only one small part of the injustices suffered by those who develop a mental illness in our society. In Canada, 38% of incoming prisoners suffer with a mental illness. Their offences often result from a lack of proper treatment. In Ontario, 40% of prisoners in solitary were locked away for 30 or more straight days. This is twice the limit permitted by the UN in its Nelson Mandela Rules. The main reason for the solitary was mental health or special needs.
Homelessness in Canada is accounted for by mental illness or addiction in between 23 and 67%.
In the US, a recent report found that there are 10 times the number of mentally ill in prison than in hospital. The consequences of not treatment, according to the Treatment Advocacy Center is homelessness, incarceration and violence.
And so few people care about any of this! Instead, we angst over one shot and killed gorilla.
To paraphrase Stalin one dead gorilla is a tragedy, a million maltreated and ignored mentally ill is a statistic.
Isn't it time we showed some compassion for the mentally ill and gave them appropriate treatment and support?


When it comes to a mother's oral hygiene routine, hormonal swings, morning sickness, and pregnancy cravings all play a role in the need for increased vigilance. Choosing healthy snacks, drinking lots of water, keeping an eye on signs of gum disease, and maintaining regular dental visits prevent the onset of dental health problems while also minimizing risks that may occur during pregnancy.
With Mother's Day just around the corner, you may consider it a great opportunity to raise awareness on oral health issues that women as mothers, across the world, encounter all through their lives. Just like all women, your mom may be extra vulnerable to oral health problems from plaque build-up on teeth as a result of unique hormonal effects and cycles. The hormones impact the blood vessels that are present all over the body, including the gum tissues, making them highly sensitive to periodontal (gum) disease and other oral health problems. Hormones also affect different areas of metabolism such as bones, causing bone thinning or osteoporosis in women.

A theme is an important idea or concept underlying the action and all the other elements of the play. Themes in this play include a wide range of issues including ones that are personal, social and moral or ethical. This podcast discuses some themes that arise from My Children! My Africa!
To listen to the podcast, visit the X-kit Achieve channel on iono.fm
My Children! My Africa! The themes
Welcome to Pearson South Africa's podcast series on the Grade 12 Study Guide X- kit Achieve My Children! My Africa! In this podcast we will talk about themes. The play asks some searching questions. For example:
What are the possibilities of friendship between people who are separated by unjust laws and who have very different life experiences? Despite the barriers which separate them, Thami and Isabel have a lot in common and a friendship develops between them. They respect each other's contributions in the debate and they enjoy being in the quiz team together. They both love Mr M. Although they interpret his death differently, they listen to each other's views.
How can we change an unjust system? Through reasoned debate or through violent revolution? Mr M says that words permit peaceful negotiation, whereas violence leads to destruction and suffering. He says, "Man...thinks with words...they can get inside the heads of the people in those armoured cars...". His hero, Confucius, teaches that justice can be achieved through words. However the events of the play show that words by themselves are not enough. In the same way, action alone, without words and reason, leads to violence and injustice. Both words and actions need to work together.
Mr M claims that he is changing the inferior Bantu Education system from within. Thami disagrees. He says that Mr M taught him to whisper: now others teach him how to shout! He agrees with the Comrades who demand 'Liberation before education'.
Mr M believes in obeying the law. However the Comrades argue that apartheid laws are unjust. Thami denies that Mr M's killing is "murder": he says that Mr M "betrayed us and our fight for Freedom. Five men are in detention because of Mr M..." Isabel says that Mr M did not do it for personal enrichment or because he was a police spy: he wanted to save the students from violence in the township. He made a mistake but did not deserve such a terrible fate. Both Thami and Isabel argue with passionate conviction: it is hard to know whose view to accept.
A final theme is: how do we make our lives useful? Isabel says at the end of the play: "You gave me a little lecture once about wasted lives ... how much you didn't want that to happen to Thami and me... . I am going to try my best to make my life useful in the way that yours was." She wants to serve others. Hers is the voice of hope ending the play on a positive note.
That's all we have time for now. But please note, there is more about the play's themes on pages 30 to 36 in your X-kit Achieve Study Guide. Thanks for listening and good luck for your studies.

As has been reported in the news media, a number of cases of community-acquired methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), more commonly known as a staph infection, have been recently reported in local school districts.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer. For young children, they should wash their hands for the period of time that it would take them to sing the Happy Birthday song twice.
Keep cuts and abrasions clean and covered with a bandage until healed.
Avoid sharing personal items such as towels, water bottles, razors, etc.
For student athletes, take a shower following sport activities; wipe surfaces of athletic equipment before and after use, launder athletic clothing and towels after each use.
MRSA infections typically begin as skin infections. They first appear as reddened areas on the skin, or can resemble pimples that develop into skin abscesses or boils causing fever, pus, swelling or pain. Early treatment is important. Parents are encouraged to contact their health care provider if their child has a sore that is not healing with usual care and treatment.

Category Archives: CORONA VIRUS
The world has just been stirred by the Coronavirus Novel (2019-nCoV), a new virus that plagues Chinese citizens, especially in the Wuhan area. At present there have been thousands of cases and dozens of deaths from the virus that attacks this respiratory tract.
Based on the latest information, the corona virus killed at least 42 people and infected about 1,400 since it was first detected in Wuhan City. Not only in mainland China, the virus has also spread abroad such as Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Korea, and Nepal.
On Saturday 25 January 2020, Australia confirmed that there were four cases of corona virus first in Melbourne and then three in Sydney. The virus has also spread to Europe, with three confirmed cases in France.
Meanwhile the World Health Organization (WHO) has not yet concluded the exact source of the corona virus. However, it is most likely derived from animals.
"The source is still unknown (most likely an animal reservoir) and the extent of human-to-human transmission is unclear," the WHO official statement on January 23, 2020.
The following is a series of facts about the corona virus
1. New virus
Coronavirus novel (2019-nCoV) is a family of coronavirus that has never been found before. Usually, coronavirus comes from animals. However, this virus has been transmitted from human to human with an estimate, every person infected with the corona virus will potentially transmit to two or three other people through air contamination.
2. One family with SARS and MERS
Before the 2019-nCoV, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SAR) and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome (MERS) had already existed. Both of these viruses are caused by corona viruses that come from animals. Reporting from The Guardian, in 2002 SARS spread almost uncontrollably to 37 countries, causing global panic, infecting more than 8,000 people and killing more than 750 people.
Then MERS has a greater death rate, killing 35 percent of the approximately 2,500 people who have been infected.
3. Influenza-like symptoms
The thing to watch out for is the symptoms of 2019-nCoV which is almost similar to influenza. Among fever, cough, runny nose, respiratory problems, sore throat, until tired and lethargic. But in severe cases, organ failure can occur.
4. There is no vaccine yet
The difference between this virus and the flu is that there is no vaccine for 2018-nCoV, which means that this condition is more difficult for vulnerable population members such as the elderly, children, or those who have respiratory and immune problems.
5. There are ways to prevent
Based on an appeal circulated by the Indonesian Ministry of Health, there are several precautions to protect themselves from this 2019-nCoV virus. Here's how to prevent it:
– Wash your hands often with soap
– Use a mask when coughing or runny nose
– Consume balanced nutrition by increasing vegetables and fruits
– Be careful of contact with animals
– Avoid consuming meat that is not cooked
– Diligent exercise and enough rest
– If coughing, colds and shortness of breath, immediately go to a health care facility.

Q: How to link JQuery/Javascript file to HTML I'm having issues with my JQuery code functioning when I open my file (locally saved) in a web browser. When I apply the same code to JSFiddle, all of it works.
This is what I have in the heading of my HTML file:
    <script src="jquery-ui.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type='text/css' href="main.css"/>
    <script type='text/javascript' src='script.js'></script>

My css file is named "main.css" and my JQuery/Javascript file is named "script.js".
Do I have a syntax error or anything in the heading?

A: You should (almost) always surround your jQuery with $(document).ready(function() { ... code here ... });. The reason why this works is because it forces the entire document to load before executing the JavaScript inside. If the JavaScript executes before the document has fully loaded, it may throw errors (and other crazy stuff).
This is not necessary, however, if you place your JavaScript at the very bottom of your HTML document (above the </body> tag).
The shorthand for $(document).ready(function() {}) is $(function() {}).

ARTA, Valenzuela ink pact to boost service delivery
MANILA – The city government of Valenzuela and the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to streamline good governance through an anti-red tape bundle program called "ARTA package".
In a virtual MOU signing, Maria Rizza Torno, program manager of the ARTA package, said ARTA developed five programs that aims to capacitate cities and municipalities to uphold good governance.
Torno said the ARTA package includes the committee on anti-red tape (CART), adoption of ARTA compliance measures, capacity building, business one-stop-shop, and the activation of the local board of assessment appeals.
ARTA director-general Jeremiah Belgica said RA 11032 targets to streamline, re-engineer, and eliminate the burden of overregulation in the country.
"May this be a symbol and a continuous testament to our joint commitment between ARTA and the city of Valenzuela in making a better Philippines today, making a better Valenzuela City and making a brighter and a more streamlined future for our generations to come," Belgica said.
Mayor Rex Gatchalian, meanwhile, said one of the thrusts of the local government is to make sure that business processes in the city are "both automated and compliant with ease of doing business."
Gatchalian said the city earlier launched "3S Plus Online Services" or the Paspas Permit system initiative, which is one of the city's programs that fully comply with the ARTA law.
"In the coming months, we look forward to a deeper partnership with ARTA as we launch new modules of our Paspas permit that will now include the zooming permit and sanitation permit," Gatchalian added.
He said the city's Paspas permit system is aimed at pushing more efficient, fast, and convenient government transactions, particularly during the health crisis.
Under the MOU, the city government is tasked to review and monitor its processes in rendering various government services to ensure fast and efficient services to its constituents.
The ARTA will provide necessary assistance to Valenzuela's efforts in assessment and improvement of the business one-stop-shop, and the activation of a local board of assessment appeals.
Anna Liza Bonagua, director of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), said the signed MOU signifies a commitment of the two parties to instituting measures to ease of doing business and efficient delivery of social services to the people.
Bonagua said the DILG acknowledges the efforts of the local government to streamline services, creating efficient processes to ensure that people receive the quality services that they truly deserve as well as providing a conducive environment of livelihood.
"ARTA with many national government agencies, DILG included, have joined forces to provide guidance and capacitate local governments institute measures to improve service delivery and fast-track transactions in local governments," she said.
Bonagua added that the demand for good governance is made even more urgent by the onslaught of the pandemic.
She said Valenzuela is among the trailblazers in terms of ease of doing business programs, harnessing digital innovations as well as streamlining processes of business applications and processing permits.
Bonagua said Valenzuela Paspas Permit system is the first digital platform in the country that allows faster and more efficient transactions.
"Valenzuela city is already way beyond other local government units. In fact, Valenzuela city has always been our champion in our best practice in terms of ease of doing business," she added.
Under the MOU, Valenzuela is tasked to create an Anti-Red Tape Unit whose function includes notifying ARTA about the formulation, modification, and repeal of regulations, verifying the availability and accuracy of the citizens' charter.
The city government should also observe zero contact policy and prescribed processing time as well as to ensure that the client feedback mechanisms and client satisfaction surveys are properly working and functional. (PNA)

Receipts are helpful in a lot of means. By comparison, receipt, is an easy official acknowledgment, the services or goods are obtained. A receipt is a type that has information of any transaction that's been made. A rent receipt might be used by landlords to allow tenants understand their payment was received. The reception forms always help keep an eye on every large and little thing. It is possible to easily download such receipts whenever you must. If you anticipate making your very own particular reception, then we've got a few methods for you to begin.
A receipt should include all the essential information in the trade. A receipt can differ based on the type of organization, product, or service which is being provided. Most men and women presume that a receipt is like an invoice. Original receipts might arrive in the shape of an invoice or in a purchase verification arrangement. Ready-made receipts are easy to discover, but should you want a more personalized receipt for your organization, you're able to look around our site for Receipt Templates. Sales receipts don't have to be boring. Typically, a cash receipt is adequate proof to reveal the sales trade. It is essential for making a money receipt that you have to know all of the facets of money receipt so you would find it feasible to become exclusive cash receipt for your business purposes.
Receipts usually contain information regarding the transaction created. Window-tag receipts will typically indicate that the total paid and also the specific area which has been allotted to the operator. The receipt forms that we offer can help you produce your own own without a lot of trouble. A General Receipt is the exact same thing.
Receipts are still an significant part any business, whether they're from a physical store or an internet store.

Interior won't ease Arctic drilling restrictions
By Laura Bies
The administration has shelved a proposal to loosen restrictions on drilling in the Arctic. Credit: Susanne Miller/USFWS
The U.S. Department of the Interior will not pursue the previous administration's plan to ease restrictions on exploratory drilling in the Arctic.
In 2020, during the previous administration, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement announced revisions to the Arctic exploratory drilling rule. The rule, created in 2016, set requirements for oil and gas exploration on the Arctic outer continental shelf, including provisions requiring oil spill prevention and response procedures specifically developed for the unique conditions there. The revisions proposed in 2020 would have eased restrictions to allow operators greater flexibility.
The proposed rule was released in December 2020, with a 30-day comment period. It was not finalized before the new administration took office in late January and began reviewing all recent regulatory proposals. The comment period on the proposal was reopened in February for 60 days. Interior's announcement now means that the draft rule will not be finalized, and the 2016 rule will remain in place — continuing the more stringent safeguards around exploratory oil and gas operations.
"The Department of the Interior is committed to a careful, responsible approach in managing America's offshore resources," said Interior spokesman Tyler Cherry in a statement released to E&E News. "The Arctic exploratory drilling regulations released in 2016 are critical to ensuring adequate safety and environmental protections for this sensitive ecosystem and Alaska Native subsistence activities."
The proposal to revoke the explanatory drilling rule garnered less than 30 comments, most of which were in opposition to the rule change. Environmental groups, such as the Alaska Wilderness League, warned about the effect of drilling on Arctic wildlife such as polar bears (Ursus maritimus). The Northwest Arctic Borough, the local tribal government, commented that the proposed revisions would, "weaken protections to the Arctic ecosystem, which the residents and communities of the Borough proudly rely on … for food, cultural identity and economic sustainability."
In the final days of his administration, President Obama issued a moratorium on offshore Arctic Ocean oil and gas drilling, which was revoked by executive order by President Trump in 2017. That order was challenged in court, with a district court invalidating the executive order in 2019. That decision was upheld on appeal in April.
The Biden administration has reviewed and reversed several environmental proposals put forth by the Trump administration, such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act incidental take rule. The Biden administration also temporarily blocked all oil and gas activity in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge through an executive order.

As the government shutdown edges ever closer to consuming a second full day, Donald Trump and his Republican-controlled Congress have spent their weekend negotiating with Congressional Democrats to bring the debacle to an end. As CNN reports, Dems are holding out for a comprehensive deal to protect DACA and its associated "dreamers," while Republicans (and Donald Trump) want a federal budget that includes a big chunk of change earmarked to fund Trump's notorious Southern border wall, and neither side is budging.
A vote that could end the #TrumpShutown is tentatively scheduled for the earliest hours of Monday morning, and the POTUS (who cancelled his most recent planned trip to Mar-a-Lago so that he could be on hand this weekend) has spent a good amount of time over the last few days tweeting his shutdown thoughts and feelings. Not surprisingly, many of those thoughts and feelings lay the blame for the shutdown (which officially began on on the one-year anniversary of the Trump inauguration) squarely on the shoulders of Capitol Hill Democrats.
According to Donald Trump, who has labeled the current federal government shutdown the #DemocratShutdown, this weekend's drama is solely the fault of Democratic lawmakers. In a series of tweets, Trump accuses Dems of wanting a shutdown to "help diminish the great success of the Tax Cuts," of wanting to give him a "nice present" on his inaugural anniversary," of putting "illegal immigrants" before the U.S. military, and of holding the military hostage, among other things.
In his slew of government shutdown-related tweets, there is one thing that Trump hasn't done: taken responsibility as POTUS. Back in 2013, however, real estate mogul Donald Trump had a far different theory regarding who in the government is to blame in the event of a shutdown, and his words are coming back to haunt him as his "Inauguration Day anniversary gift" government shutdown refuses to die.
As The Hill reports, Donald Trump is far from the first president to have to deal with a budget-related federal government shutdown. He is, however, the first president in modern U.S. history to face such an issue when the White House, House, and Senate were all controlled by the same political party. Back in 2013, President Obama found himself in the midst of a shutdown as he strove to negotiate with Congressional Republicans devoted to thwarting his agenda, and as the then-POTUS fought to restore functionality to the federal government, Donald Trump made it clear that if the government shuts down, it's the president who's at fault, first and foremost.
In a 2013 interview with Fox and Friends, Donald Trump squarely blamed then-President Obama for the current government shutdown, and presidents in general for any and all shutdowns of the federal government. The folks at Morning Joe brought the change in Trump's tune to the public's attention when they shared the video of Trump's words coming from his own mouth on social media on Friday.
As GQ reports, his Fox and Friends comments blasting Obama and presidents in general as responsible for government shutdown situations weren't the only time Donald Trump talked about who's to blame when the federal government comes screeching to a halt. In an October 2013 interview with Greta Van Susteren, Trump also pinned the bull's eye directly on Barack Obama after Van Susteren asked him what he would do to resolve the government shutdown problem if he were President.
Now that he is the President of the United States, however, Donald Trump has been unwavering in his blame of Congressional Democrats for the government shutdown that began in the early hours of Saturday morning and appears poised to continue until America's deeply divided and polarized Congress is willing to compromise on a long-term budget deal.
Congress has remained in session throughout the weekend, and several Congressional leaders, including Republican Lindsey Graham, claim that they will likely be able to garner enough Democratic support to pass a short-term funding plan that would re-open the federal government and keep it running until February 8.
Such a solution will only be stop-gap, however, and the federal government will face more instability and the potential for further shutdowns under the leadership of Donald Trump if the POTUS can't bring both sides of the aisle together in a room and make a deal, an ability he touted when blasting Barack Obama in 2013.

John Paul Getty III
by Lux on July 12, 2016 at 12:00pm
John Paul Getty (1892 – 1976) American oil executive, multi-millionaire and art collector, with Zsa Zsa Gabor, exotic international Hungarian leading lady. May 16, 1972. Photo Getty Images.
The Getty Family
A Cautionary Tale of Oil, Adultery, and Death
Billions, Affairs, Severed Ears, Drug Overdoses, And Oil
The story of the famed?Getty family?is one of the most obvious examples that money, and cold hard cash, doesn?t buy you happiness.
?The Getty Curse,? as it is known, has stoked the public imagination for almost as long as the Gettys themselves have been striking oil.
The legend begins with J. Paul Getty, considered alongside Howard Hughes as the first modern billionaire. Getty?s business acumen?he not only scored a six-decade concession on an oil field outside of Kuwait in 1949 for?less than $10 million, he learned Arabic to help seal the deal? was matched only by his cluelessness as a family man.
A notorious philanderer who was married five times, by the time J. Paul Getty,?died in 1976 at 83, his legacy as a financial titan and benefactor of the arts was secure. But as so happens in industrial dynasties, his story grew strange near the end ? and black sheep began to crowd the family tree.
He had lost his youngest son, Timmy, when he died of a brain tumor at age 12 (Getty failed to attend the funeral) and his eldest son and seeming heir apparent, George, under mysterious circumstances.
According to a story?Claus Von Bulow once told, ?He fell twice on a barbecue fork.?
Around the same time of George?s death, in 1973, came the famous kidnapping of J. Paul Getty III, the elder Getty?s grandson, in Rome by Italian gangsters.
Andrew?s father, Gordon, seemed to have bypassed the family?s tragic storyline.
Artistic and intelligent, he studied classical music composition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and became a composer and philanthropist, raising four sons in the Bay Area with wife Ann.
The Getty family ?once known for its oil riches and J. Paul Getty?s passionate appetite for art ? seems to?makes its way into the public sphere about once a decade, generally for some tragic occurrence. Like Forrest Gump, J. Paul Getty?s rise to become the world?s richest man was really a tale of two extremes: one of unbridled capitalism leading to a multi-billion dollar international oil empire; the other, decades of family indifference that destroyed the lives of some of the wealthiest individuals in the world.

Donegal (Dún na nGall en irlandais) est une ville irlandaise du comté de Donegal, dans la province d'Ulster. Donegal (IPA: /dʌniːgɒl/) n'est pas le chef-lieu du comté de Donegal, comté éponyme. Le chef-lieu du comté est Lifford, et Letterkenny en est la plus grande ville. La ville de Donegal est située à l'embouchure de la baie de Donegal et est au pied des Bluestack Mountains. La ville est desservie par les routes N15 et N56. Ce toponyme d'origine irlandais signifie « fort des étrangers » en référence aux établissements vikings.

Histoire

Les premières traces de population datant de la préhistoire ont été découvertes dans les alentours de la ville, principalement des fortifications. Les archives font état d'une ancienne forteresse danoise détruite par Muirchertach MacLochlainn, grand roi d'Irlande, ard rí Érenn,  en 1159. Cette colonie viking est probablement à l'origine du nom de la ville.

Donegal est célèbre pour être la ville d'origine du clan O'Donnell, qui joua un rôle clé dans l'histoire de l'Irlande. Du  au , ils étaient les principaux opposants de la colonisation de l'Irlande au royaume d'Angleterre. La ville possède également un château ainsi que les restes d'une abbaye franciscaine du . L'écriture de la chronique médiévale les Annales des quatre maîtres aurait commencé dans cette abbaye au . Les aventures de Hugh Roe O'Donnell, seigneur de Tyrconnel, ont inspiré de nombreux livres et films, tels que Le Prince Donegal, de Robert Reilly, adapté en 1966 par les studios Disney.

Après la fuite des comtes en 1607, le château et les terres furent donnés au capitaine anglais Basil Brooke, comme une partie des Plantations d'Ulster. Brooke réalisa de grands travaux de reconstruction et ajouta une aile au château dans un style jacobien. L'actuel plan de la ville inclut un square municipal ou Diamond. Du  au , Donegal faisait partie du grand domaine de la famille Gore (comte d'Aran depuis 1762). C'est sous leur domination que la ville prit son aspect actuel. Donegal élit deux députés au Parlement d'Irlande depuis la signature de l'Acte d'Union, en 1800. Des témoignages de la Grande Famine irlandaise subsistent, comme le workhouse, qui forme actuellement une partie de l'hôpital.

Industrie et tourisme

Donegal possède plusieurs plages de sable idéales pour la pratique de surf. La ville sert également de point de départ pour des randonnées sur les Bluestack Mountains. Bien que la ville possède de nombreux hôtels, elle souffre d'un manque important d'équipements sociaux. Nombre d'habitants doivent se rendre dans les villes voisines de Letterkenny pour des équipements comme les piscines, les salles de cinéma et les centres commerciaux.

Le plus grand employeur de la ville est l'usine Magee of Donegal. Celle-ci fabrique des vêtements en tweed et, dans une moindre mesure, en lin et en laine. Néanmoins, le nombre d'ouvriers du secteur textile diminue d'année en année, comme dans toute l'Irlande.

Transport

La gare de Donegal a été inaugurée le , et a été fermée le . La commune est desservie par le réseau Bus Éireann.

Jumelage

Sport

Donegal abrite de nombreux clubs de sport amateur. Le sport le plus populaire de la région est le football gaélique et le club d'athlétisme local affilié à la Gaelic Athletic Association est The Four Masters. Le club a également développé le hurling. Les autres sports les plus pratiqués sont le football (Finn Harps), le rugby et le basketball.

Média

La ville est le siège des quotidiens régionaux Donegal Democrat et Donegal Post et d'un bulletin d'information, le Donegal Times. Ocean FM, station de radio indépendante, a l'un de ses trois studios dans la ville, laquelle diffuse sur le sud du comté de Donegal.

Organic farming is all about the life cycle of plants-- knowing when to sow seed, when to transplant, how to avoid getting caught by the weeds, soil health, and of course, harvest. Here a few images that cover the various stages in the process of crop production.
After perusing some of our favorite photos of Happy Boy scenes, you might be getting a bit peckish.
Jump to our recipe section to get some inspiration for the kitchen.


Jim Collum's work invokes calm and tranquility. Shooting mostly in the quiet light of the early morning, Jim uses a combination of the latest photographic technologies along with those of the 19th century to capture a beauty in venues one would pass without noticing. The work is then presented as either a traditional platinum print, or as a digital print on photographic paper.
Jim lives and works amidst the redwood forests and coasts of the traditional West Coast photographic scenery.

Britain was in a far less vulnerable position in regard to hop supply in WW II than it had been in WW I, for the simple fact that the UK was far less dependent on imports.
In 1914, the UK was far from self-sufficient in hops. Large quantities of hops were imported, the biggest source by far being the USA. Hops were still travelling East across the Atlantic in 1939, but in nothing like the quantities they had been before WW I.
The main other sources of hop imports were central Europe, which provided classy one like Hallertau and Saaz, and Belgium which provided cheap and cheerful Poperinge.
Due to shortages, the government compelled brewers to reduce their hopping rates:
"Consumption of hops by brewers was cut in June, 1941, under instructions of the Ministry of Food, by 20% of the rate used per standard barrel."
1955 Brewers' Almanack, page 64.
Problems with hop supply began early in the war:
"The reduction in hop supplies has been serious. In June, 1941, a 20 per cent cut was imposed in the gross amount available to the trade. The actual quantity which passed through the Hops Marketing Board (which controls hops and their distribution) was 75 per cent of the total brewers' nominations. These nominations would have been the same in 1941 as the consumption during the datum year, if as many standard barrels had been brewed as in that year. But in 1942 the nominations, themselves, had to be cut by 20 per cent, and then only 80 per cent of the nominations were available, i.e., 64 per cent of the prewar quantities. In the present year hop rates in practice are about 1 to 1.2 lb per standard barrel, i.e., about 0.3 per cent, whereas in normal times this would have been almost double.
Hops are obtainable only under license, and a brewer who runs short may apply to the Brewers' Society for permission to secure a further allowance from his nominated merchants. Brewers usually carry a stock of hops over from one season to the next, new hops rarely being used. By now all reserves of this kind have been used up and brewers are living from hand to mouth; in many cases they have to use the new season's hops as soon as these are delivered. Matters were not helped during the London blitz back in late 1940, when some 50,000 pockets of hops were burnt. It was also on this occasion that the historic building, Brewers' Hall — the home of the Institute of Brewing — was completely destroyed."

The situation wasn't helped, of course, by Kent being effectively in the front line from 1940 to 1945: it was difficult, for example, to get pickers for the harvest of 1944 because Doodlebugs were flying overhead, and occasionally dropping down and going "Bang!"


Holds 3 decks of cards vertically. Will hold a full 52 cards easily.
This is for unsleeved cards only. Sleeved cards will not fit.
Draw from the front, return to the back. Make working the decks very easy.
There is a lip at the top which protects the top of the cards where they stick out above the edges.
