Nothing makes me more excited – or more stressed – than the holiday season. In theory, I love everything about December. The twinkly lights, the Hallmark channel movies, ice skating, spending time with family and friends and thinking up the perfect gifts for everyone on my list.
In reality, it's usually a cluster of over-scheduled chaos that leaves me 10 pounds heavier, crying into my vanilla latte, realizing that I haven't even started my shopping and I'm already a disaster.
So this year, I've teamed up with Med-IQ to share some top tips for having a stress-free holiday season (especially if you suffer from headaches or migraine like I do).
FYI: Med-IQ is an accredited medical education company whose goal is to improve patient outcomes through education. You can read my first blog post with them right here – where we talked about how to prepare for your conversation about migraine with your doctor. And click here to learn more about Med-IQ.
Just to be clear, this is my own personal advice. Keep reading for advice from the actual experts!
I am all about traditions, but sometimes it makes a whole lot of sense to really put some thought into which traditions are worth keeping and which could be skipped altogether. Every single Thanksgiving, I make my great-grandmother's homemade yeast rolls. It's hours of my life spent in the kitchen (before spending hours of my life in the kitchen making the actual Thanksgiving dinner), but I do it because it's tradition.
This year, I decided to skip Nanny's rolls, and no one cared. Actually, no one even noticed. At first it hurt my feelings, but then I remembered that I didn't spend six hours making rolls that no one (but me) seems to care about. So tradition skipped.
Make this your mantra for the rest of December. Perfection is NOT real! It only exists in Instagram filters and carefully edited photos that make it out into the world. Your life is not being lived on social media. Your decor won't be perfect. Your gift wrapping won't be perfect. You'll probably completely forget to buy someone on your list a gift. It's possible that your Christmas card picture will look like the one we sent out a few years ago. It will all be fine.
Yes. We actually sent this as our Christmas card.
Every year I can feel the stress start to creep in. I can't do it all. I have to keep staying up later and later to get it all done. I'm failing the world. And then I remember that perfection doesn't exist and that I DON'T have to do it all alone.
It's amazing how much people are willing to help out when you just ask them. Every year my husband is in charge of the stocking stuffers for the kids. He puts some of the stupidest things I have ever seen in those stockings. Seriously. He includes NOTHING that I would ever even consider. But you know what? The kids love them, and I didn't have to participate at all. Boom.
It's okay to say no. Or to run away.
Last year I had a giant meltdown on the way to a holiday party that we have gone to every single year for the past 5 years. I hate going. I don't really like the other guests. I always hate my outfit. I usually sit there thinking about all of the BETTER things I could be doing or the FRIENDS that I could be spending time with. But we've always gone out of obligation. This year? We're skipping it. And it feels so good!
I'm pretty flexible in my holiday commitments, but I do make a concerted effort to give back with the kids at least once during December. It serves as a great reminder to all of us of what is really important in the world. And it helps me stress less about not having the perfect teacher gifts.
This is not the time to start renovating your kitchen or repainting your bathroom.
It's possible that this was our house four days before we hosted 16 people at our house for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Ahem….
Raise your hand if you agree that February is the WORST! I live in Ohio, and it is dark and cold and nasty in February. And there is NOTHING to do – all of the holiday fun is officially over. So when I'm in my happy holiday mood, and I want to invite half the world over for a variety of parties and get togethers and coffee dates, I resist the urge and make plans for February instead. You're saving yourself (and your friends) from more December commitments, and you're giving everyone something to look forward to in February. Win. Win.
Do it for me. They're my favorite. Bonus points if it includes Candace Cameron-Burre. Or if a family car breaks down in a small town on the way to Christmas, and they are forced to spend Christmas there because no one can fix their car. And during their stay, the family is reminded of the true meaning of the holidays and either the parents fall back in love with each other, fall in love with the little town or somehow rescue the town from being shut down altogether. Bonus points if all of the above happens. And you've died and gone to heaven if all of that happens AND the main role is played by Candace Cameron-Burre.
In August, I had the chance to speak with two neurologists that specialize in headache diagnosis and therapy – Robert G. Kaniecki, MD, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Stewart J. Tepper, MD, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
If you or someone you love suffer from migraine, it's especially important to follow these three tips during the busy holiday season.
1. Follow your treatment plan: Stick to your treatment plan, which should include medications and lifestyle management strategies to prevent and treat migraine. For me, this means that I can't go overboard with caffeine or sugar. I have to get plenty of sleep. And I probably shouldn't eat cheese. It's harder to do this than ever during December, but sticking to my routine makes a huge difference.
2. Avoid overuse of acute headache medication: Don't take prescription or nonprescription medication for migraine pain more than 10 days per month. Doctors know that the inadequate control of the immediate pain of a migraine attack can lead to chronic migraine. Inadequate pain control can lead patients to take acute medication too often, and overuse of acute medication (including over-the-counter medications) is a risk factor for developing chronic migraine.
3. Keep a headache diary: Track changes in headache frequency and/or intensity as you begin or change medications. My headache diary is one of the main reasons that I am able to identify some of my migraine triggers. You can learn more about my headache diary here.
If you have ever had a migraine, or fear that you might be experiencing them, please take this survey.
It will take you less than 10 minutes to complete, and you'll be entered to win one of ten $100 VISA gift cards! No personal information will be kept, sold, or stored during the survey completion process.
My opinions are all my own. I was compensated to write this blog post. It is sponsored by Med-IQ and supported by an educational grant by Teva Pharmaceuticals.

Q: Removing NaN from date time returned in javascript I am working on yii2. In my javascript, I have a formula through which I am getting some data. The data is then passed to chart and chart renders it.

How can I remove NaN from date-time? I have looked into this issue but couldn't find any solution.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

A: You can easily do it by mapping the label attribute and remove the last 3 characters
like this
data = data.map(el => el.label.substr(0, el.label.length - 3))

Notice: it is recommended the first answer in case of that all objects have NaN at the end of line otherwise use the second solution

or by another way, you can replace NaN with ""
like this one
data = data.map(el => el.label.replace('NaN', ''))

Using public transit to explore nature– it's easy and energy efficient.
The Chicago Wilderness region is rich in biodiversity and there are diverse conservation areas, forest preserves, parks, restoration projects and beaches to explore. Most of these can be reached easily by car, but driving—and burning fossil fuels—for the sake of nature study seems counterproductive. Driving just one mile releases about a pound of CO2 ¹ and releases other pollutants including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulates²— all of which can harm nature. Add to that the environmental cost of road construction and maintenance—and the total cost of driving to a conservation area can seem too high. Maybe it's better to stay home.
Transit to Trail provides a (growing) list of conservation areas that can be reached by public transportation. Periodic blog posts, based on the travels of one urban ecologist, will explore some of these natural areas and how to leave a smaller footprint travelling to them.

Here's to a better new year with a lucky vegetarian Chinese recipe — plus cooking and life lessons from a local expert
Dec. 29, 2020 at 7:00 am Updated Dec. 30, 2020 at 9:43 am
Seattle Times food writer
HSIAO-CHING CHOU'S parents didn't come to the United States hoping to open a Chinese restaurant. In Taipei, her mother worked as a journalist — one who was "pretty badass, back in the '60s," Chou says. Her father had been a career military liaison officer. But once here, "Like many other immigrant professionals, they weren't able to do what they did back in their home country," she relates. Even after both earned graduate degrees in journalism at the University of Missouri, opportunities failed to materialize.
Her father got a job as an assistant manager at a Dunkin' Donuts, then "a network of other Chinese restaurant families" was there to help hers as their original American dream receded, Chou explains. Her parents opened their own place in a former Hardee's in Columbia, Missouri, in 1980. "It really wasn't because they had any aspirations to be professional chefs …" Chou says. "It really was a means to an end. They wanted to raise their family and try to do the best that they could."
Hsiao-Ching Chou's cooking lesson and Q&A
Join the "Vegetarian Soul Food" virtual launch party with a cooking demonstration plus a Q&A with author Hsiao-Ching Chou on Jan. 26 at 5 p.m. — info at booklarder.com.
Starting out making wontons at age 8, Chou was raised in the restaurant. She worked there while getting her own journalism degree until she got her first newspaper job, going on to write a food column for The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Her parents ran the restaurant for more than 20 years.
The dedication of Chou's 2018 cookbook "Chinese Soul Food" heartwrenchingly begins, "For my parents, who abandoned their success stories in order to feed ours." In its pages, she shares their real story and her own experience, alongside recipes meant to create what she now calls an "onramp" to cooking Chinese dishes, "something streamlined … but not dumbed-down."
Her intention is made plain in the subtitle: "A Friendly Guide for Homemade Dumplings, Stir-Fries, Soups, and More" — her helping hands there to show how "any kitchen can be a Chinese kitchen," as she likes to say. Chou didn't discriminate on the grounds of some definition of authenticity, either, devoting an entire "Guilty Pleasures" chapter to the kind of Americanized Chinese dishes that restaurants such as her parents' necessarily served: General Tso's chicken, crab rangoon, Mongolian beef.
More from Local Cookbooks

Her sole regret about her first cookbook, Chou says, is that she didn't include more vegetarian recipes. Her second one — "Vegetarian Chinese Soul Food" — comes right when we could use more vegetables after overdoing the COVID-19 stay-home holidays; it's out on Jan. 19 (and available for preorder from Book Larder and Elliott Bay Book Company).
More tidbits from Chou's background turn up in the prose, as in the intro to the rice vermicelli recipe: People unfamiliar with the noodles wouldn't order them off the menu in her family restaurant's early days, but, "When customer demand forced us to shift to buffet-style … that's when people learned to love rice vermicelli."
She again concentrates on accessible assistance: mostly straightforward recipes, wok-buying advice, a guide to pantry ingredients, a vegetable tutorial and more. Those who want to delve deeper will find the likes of "An Ode to Soy Sauce," with detailed notes on a taste test of Kikkoman and 10 Chinese brands. (Her basic all-purpose recommendation: Kimlan, with the yellow and red label.) Those seeking a culinary challenge — or just a pandemic-time-consuming project — will find a recipe, thorough instructions and folding-demo photos for making vegetarian soup dumplings at home.
In Seattle, where Chou lives with her husband, two kids and mom, she's known for her dumpling cooking classes, and "Vegetarian Soul Food" has more recipes for meat-free dim sum favorites, along with xiao long bao. She includes directions for both classic and gluten-free dumpling dough, and it's part of Chou's forgiving style that she does not at all insist on making your own — "Store-Bought Dumpling Wrappers" provides instructions on how to choose the right ones. (Tip for the not-so-pro: She recommends Rose Brand wrappers locally, while her mass-market pick is New Hong Kong Noodle Company, but really any kind you can find at your local supermarket should be fine. For harder-to-locate Chinese ingredients, she heads to Asian Family Market or 99 Ranch.)
Her wisdom here extends to "a few rules to live by in dumpling class — and beyond" that feel especially valuable these days: "Repetition teaches you the secrets," "Sometimes you have to start over," "Make it safe to fail." And in good news for those who want more hand-holding with their dumpling folding, thanks to the pandemic, Chou's classes are now available virtually everywhere through Hot Stove Society and PCC.
It's fortunate that "Vegetarian Soul Food" comes along in time for the Lunar New Year on Feb. 12. Chou's essay on the topic explains that, "The tradition — and expectation — is that those who live and work far from their hometowns and families will return to pay respects and celebrate the holiday" with a huge New Year's Eve reunion feast. This might be out of reach in 2021, but Chou explains which foods are "imbued with symbolic wishes for health, wealth, prosperity, longevity and good fortune."
We all could use lots more of all that this year, and she also includes a Lunar New Year menu for cooking and eating good luck.
Hsiao-Ching Chou's Lucky 8 Stir-Fry
"Eight is a lucky number in the Chinese culture, especially at Lunar New Year. The Chinese word for 'eight' is a homophone for prosperity … This mixed vegetable dish takes its inspiration from Buddhist vegetarian cooking and can include any combination of ingredients that represent good luck, prosperity, happiness, family wholeness and longevity. The ingredients also should have contrasting-yet-balanced flavors and textures. You can serve this on any day of the week — especially when it's Lunar New Year. If you don't have access to dried lily flowers, you can substitute bamboo shoot strips (which are available canned) or tofu." — Hsiao-Ching Chou
1 cup bean sprouts
3 inner stalks celery hearts, cut on the bias ¼-inch thick
4 to 6 medium dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 2 to 3 hours
1 medium carrot, cut into ¼-inch-thick strips
½ cup dried lily flowers, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes
½ cup dried wood ear mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes and cut into ¼-inch-thick strips
1 cup sliced Chinese cabbage or baby bok choy
8 snow peas, trimmed and cut on the bias into ½-inch-wide pieces
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine, sherry or dry Marsala wine
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
⅛ teaspoon white pepper powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, if needed
1. Preheat a wok over high heat until wisps of smoke rise from the surface. Swirl in the vegetable oil, and heat for a few seconds until it starts to shimmer.
2. Add all of the vegetables: bean sprouts, celery, shiitake mushrooms, carrot, dried lily flowers, wood ear mushrooms, Chinese cabbage or baby bok choy, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 90 seconds, and then add the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine and water. Stir-fry for about 1 minute.
3. Add the sesame oil and white pepper powder. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds more to combine.
4. Turn off the heat. Taste for seasoning. If you think it needs a pinch of salt, add the kosher salt, and stir to combine. Transfer to a serving dish.

2057221911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 1 — Ajax (son of Telamon)
AJAX, son of Telamon, king of Salamis, a legendary hero of ancient Greece. To distinguish him from Ajax, son of Oileus, he was called the "great or Telamonian Ajax. In Homer's Iliad he is described as of great stature and colossal frame, second only to Achilles in strength and bravery, and the "bulwark of the Achaeans." He engaged Hector in single combat and, with the aid of Athene, rescued the body of Achilles from the hands of the Trojans. In the competition between him and Odysseus for the armour of Achilles, Agamemnon, at the instigation of Athene, awarded the prize to Odysseus. This so enraged Ajax that it caused his death (Odyssey, xi. 541). According to a later and more definite story, his disappointment drove him mad; he rushed out of his tent and fell upon the herds of cattle in the camp under the impression that they were the enemy on coming to his senses, he slew himself with the sword which he had received as a present from Hector. This is the account of his death given in the Ajax of Sophocles (Pindar, Nemea, 7; Ovid, Met. xiii. 1). From his blood sprang a red flower, as at the death of Hyacinthus, which bore on its leaves the initial letters of his name AI, also expressive of lament (Pausanias i. 35. 4). His ashes were deposited in a golden urn on the Rhoetean promontory at the entrance of the Hellespont. Like Achilles, he is represented as living after his death in the island of Leukê at the mouth of the Danube (Pausanias iii. 19. 11). Ajax, who in the post-Homeric legend is described as the grandson of Aeacus and the great-grandson of Zeus, was the tutelary hero of the island of Salamis, where he had a temple and an image, and where a festival called Aianteia was celebrated in his honour (Pausanias i. 35). At this festival a couch was set up, On which the panoply of the hero was placed, a practice which recalls the Roman lectisternium. The identification of Ajax with the family of Aeacus was chiefly a matter which concerned the Athenians, after Salamis had come into their possession, on which occasion Solon is said to have inserted a line in the Iliad (ii. 557 or 558), for the purpose of supporting the Athenian claim to the island. Ajax then became an Attic hero; he was worshipped at Athens, where he had a statue in the market-place, and the tribe Aiantis was called after his name. Many illustrious Athenians—Cimon, Miltiades, Alcibiades, the historian Thucydides—traced their descent from Ajax.
See D. Bassi, La Leggenda di Aiace Telamonio (1890); P. Girard, "Ajax, fils de Télamon," 1905, in Revue des études grecques, tome 18; J. Vurtheim, De Ajacie Origine, Cultu, Patria (Leiden, 1907), according to whom he and Ajax Oileus, as depicted in epos, were originally one, a Locrian daemon somewhat resembling the giants. When this spirit put on human form and became known at the Saronic Gulf, he developed into the "greater" Ajax, while among the Locrians he remained the "lesser." In the article Greek Art. fig. 13 (from a black-figured Corinthian vase) represents the suicide of Ajax.

DU Admissions 2019 : Admissions Process Likely To Begin From 1st May
Andrea Cardoza
Earlier, the registration process for the Delhi University admissions was to begin from 15th April 2019 and was scheduled to end on 7th May 2019. However, due to the changes planned to be made are in works, the admission process is likely to begin from 1 May 2019.
"The registration process will most likely start from May 1 as we are yet to complete the preparations. Once we are ready with the changed policies and procedures, we'll come up with the revised schedules." Rajeev Gupta, Chairperson of the admission committee was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
The reason behind the admission process getting delayed is the fact that Delhi University is working to get the database of students registered with the Central Board of Secondary Education.
"There will be lot more transparency if we are able to get their marksheets and certificates directly, however, the process of getting the database is still underway" a member of the admission committee said.
5% reservation has to be made for all students under sports & ECA quota in each course. Changes have already been introduced for the academic year 2019-20 where ECA and Sports quota admissions will begin before the release of cut-off lists and the stream change reduction has been reduced from 5% to 2%.

What is the Disability Integration Act?
The Disability Integration Act (DIA) is civil rights legislation, introduced by Senator Schumer in the Senate and Representative Sensenbrenner in the House, to address the fundamental issue that people who need Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) are forced into institutions and losing their basic civil rights. The legislation (S.910, H.R.2472) builds on the 25 years of work that ADAPT (see below) has done to end the institutional bias and provide seniors and people with disabilities home and community-based services (HCBS) as an alternative to institutionalization. It is the next step in our national advocacy after securing the Community First Choice (CFC) option.
From the national to the local level, ADAPT has an informal structure. ADAPT is like no other organization of which you may be a member. Some people say ADAPT is more like a communication network than a structured organization. The thing every local group must have is one or two people who are committed to making it work.
ADAPT is an activist organization. Your group must be willing to take up the issues head on. What issues? Aside from ADAPT's national issue of changing the long term care system, starting a national attendant service program and freeing our people from nursing homes and other institutions, it's up to your group. Each local ADAPT group develops its own style and structure. Decisions are usually made by group consensus. While each local group has local members and local issues which they address, all work on ADAPT's national attendant services campaign. National networking provides information, strategies and support for each of these groups. ADAPT trainings in organizing and advocacy techniques are also available, and highly encouraged for newly forming groups.


Making dreams become a reality – one yard at a time!
A Fox Cities native, I grew up in the small town of Winneconne where I learned the appreciation of a community and how to give back. My journey then lead me to the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh where I obtained my degree in Journalism. Originally, I planned on being the next Katie Couric and joining the Today Show but found out pretty quickly that being in front of cameras made my stomach turn. So when that didn't go as planned, I opted to use my Journalism degree to its fullest potential and have been in a marketing/design position ever since.
My husband, two children and our golden retriever are my life! My husband and I enjoy re-purposing furniture and finding those antique treasures to bring back to life. It may even lead me to a craft fair or two. I love to watch my kids play and learn new things every day.
After 10 years in a marketing and design role, I found that I have another passion that I needed to pursue – becoming a real estate agent. My husband pushed me to just go for it and I'm so glad that he did! My passion is to be able to help people with their real estate dreams and make their experience both as exciting and as smooth as possible.
To assist me in my quest I've joined forces with one of the leading real estate firms in the FOX CITIES... Acre Realty! Their success in our area spans five different decades thanks to their local roots and WORLD-WIDE connections.
Now that I've pursued my dream, I'd love to learn more about you and help you pursue yours. Call or text me at 920-460-1315 or email at Melissa.Krsnich@acrerealty.com.


Gideon Stanford Jarvis passed peacefully on November 21, 2018, at his home in Magna, Utah, at the age of 86. He was born November 27, 1931, to Erastus Leon Jarvis and Genevieve Hilton, their 9th child. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Japan, 1951-1954, and served in the U.S. Army in Korea for 17 months, 1956 - 1957.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—I was having second thoughts commuting to Genting Highlands a while ago. I was not sold to the idea of venturing out of the city on our own after receiving well meaning advices and warnings from friends. And so I have decided to arrange the trip using the the hotel tour service for my own peace of mind. The tour guide/driver who assisted us was surprisingly this kind old soul who was very accomodating and attentive to our needs, from securing tickets to showing us where to go and what to do. He was with his equally kind wife. When another driver picked us up this afternoon, I was surprised to learn that the old man who drove for us today is the big boss of the tour service that I hired. They were all surprised in fact when he accepted the booking and drove himself. On most days when they are fully booked they normally turn down bookings. I was humbled by the thought and truly grateful of the gesture.
-) I do have a few questions for you if you don't mind.
I'm really inspired with your writing abilities as neatly as with the structure on your weblog.

Gov't Demands DNA Test from Allison Family To Claim Body
The Liberian Government through the Ministry of Justice is demanding a Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) test from the family of the late Atty. Michael Allison in order to claim his remains and obtain permission to carry out any funeral arrangements.Speaking at the Ministry of Information's regular press briefing yesterday in Monrovia, Justice Minister and Attorney General, Cllr. Benedict Sannoh, said both of the autopsy reports proved there was no foul play in the death of Atty. Allison.Cllr. Sannoh explained that the family must complete a DNA test to establish beyond all reasonable doubt their relationship with the deceased before claiming the body for subsequent burial arrangements.The DNA is a self-replicating material present in nearly all-living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes, and it is the carrier of genetic information of related families."In the comprehensive reports of the autopsies, both the American and the Sierra Leonean pathologists showed that Atty. Michael Allison died of drowning. The government is pleased with the reports due to the level of competencies and experience of these pathologists, both locally and internationally," Minister Sannoh said.He further explained that Allison's death did not happen because of outside interference and that no foul play was discovered during the two autopsy procedures.According to the Justice Minister, Atty. Michael Allison was in possession of several passports, including that of the United States with different identifications, contrary to the Michael Allison name he was identified with."Based on this, the Liberian government has informed the United States Government of the passing of one of their citizens in Liberia."Cllr. Sannoh said that another family member in the United States has also shown up." He explained that "The Liberia National Police last month invited a pathologist from neighboring Sierra Leone to conduct an autopsy on the deceased. When the autopsy was completed, and to ensure that the findings were valid and also due to the public's huge concern, another autopsy was carried out, this time by an American."Cllr. Sannoh explained that the two pathologists completed their respective autopsy reports and concluded that in their professional and expert opinions, the cause of death was natural.Attorney General Sannoh explained that the two doctors examined the contents of his stomach, which also revealed Atty. Allison's death was by salt water drowning.He said physical skin effect, involving his eyelid, knee, neck, ears and others were not the result of a blunt force injury but instead were due to animals that attacked the body following his death."Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more

Rising prices press small businesses
NEW YORK These are uneasy times for many small business owners with the cost of almost everything they buy ratcheting higher, they're being forced to take the anxiety-provoking step of raising their own prices. At Joseph Ferruzzi Associates Inc., a New York-based design and printing company, President Joe Greco has been contending with a series of price increases and surcharges for paper and delivery services. He can't absorb it all. "The bills are going through the roof," Greco said. "Any out-of-pocket money has to be passed on." So Greco has been alerting clients, who range from other small businesses to larger companies, that they'll need to pay more. So far this year, inflation as measured by the government's consumer price index is rising at an annual rate of 5.1 percent, way above the 3.4 percent increase for all of 2005. What's known as core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices, is up at a rate of 3 percent, ahead of last year's 2.2 percent. But while higher energy and raw materials costs and rising interest rates have been grabbing the headlines this year, owners say they're feeling the effect of inflation throughout their businesses. "Our costs for everything have gone up the biggest issue is the cost of health care," said Brian Drum, CEO of Drum Associates, a New York-based executive recruiter. "When health care is going up in the double digits for the last three or four or five years, that gets very hard to manage," he said. Like other employers, Drum has had to change health plans and the amount of coverage he provides, and ask employees to pay more for their health care. "But we're still paying a significant increase," he said. Drum said his company has raised some of its consulting rates because of inflation pressures. Raising prices is a difficult process for many small businesses. Every increase potentially makes them less competitive, and raises the possibility that customers might go elsewhere. Some "start to think you're gouging them. They start to look for other people" to do the job, Greco said. But a big consolation for Greco and many other owners is that their customers generally understand the situation, and don't gripe too much about the increases. "Most of our clients are saying, Joe, there's nothing you can do, and nothing we can do,'" he said. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable to inflation because they lack the economy of scale of larger companies. Brian Eberle said the rising cost of fuel is the biggest problem for his New York-based recycled office furniture business, Green Office Systems, forcing him to pass on delivery surcharges to customers. "They completely understand it," he said of customers, and estimated that only about 2 percent of them complain about the added costs. But there can be a flip side to that understanding many customers are taking longer to pay those higher bills. That eats into cash flow, and Greco said that means he sometimes needs to pay his bills with credit cards. "I'm losing a lot of sleep I wake up thinking about it," Greco said. While raising prices does make individual business owners nervous, particularly if they're in a highly competitive industry, economists say companies overall do have room to nudge their prices higher. "The only thing that gives you pricing power is strong demand," said William Dunkelberg, chief economist with the National Federation of Independent Business, a Washington D.C.-based advocacy group. "Demand is strong, so you can raise your prices. You might lose a customer or two, but I don't know where they're going to go because everyone has the same price." The recruiting business does well when the economy is stronger, Drum said, because executives command higher salaries and so recruiters' fees, which are a percentage of those salaries, go up. But if the economy slows and inflation rises, "we end up paying more for stuff and doing less business," he said. The NFIB, which each month surveys the small businesses that compose its membership, has reported an upward trend in the number of companies raising their prices or reporting plans to raise prices. In April, 26 percent of the respondents said they raised their prices, up 9 percentage points from March. Price increases were particularly prevalent in the construction industry, where a surge in raw materials costs prompted 45 percent of the surveyed companies to raise their prices. Business owners naturally look to cut costs wherever they can in hopes of avoiding price increases. Drum said his company is cutting back on travel plans. But there are limits to how much they can cut. As Greco put it, "we do what we can internally, but at what point does that change, because everything we buy is going up."

Durban is confident it can host Commonwealth
7 August 2015The eThekwini Municipality was confident it would deliver a world-class Commonwealth Games in 2022, said mayor James Nxumalo.In March, Durban submitted its bid to host the mega sporting event. "We are confident that we will successfully deliver a world-class Commonwealth Games should the CGF General Assembly vote for Durban on 2 September 2015," Nxumalo said on Tuesday.Looking good"The regional clusters of Commonwealth Games Associations from Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania have visited Durban to experience first-hand the venues, our world-class infrastructure, legacy projects and other components in the Durban bid in order for them to vote from an informed perspective and award the Games to Durban based on merit."eThekwini has welcomed a recommendation made by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) Evaluation Commission that its General Assembly should vote in favour of Durban's bid to host the event.According to the Durban 2022 website, a report commends and highlights the many positive impacts of Durban's bid for the Games."Durban's vision supports and contributes to South Africa's 2030 National Development Plan and is rooted in the desire to engage citizens (especially young people), athletes and the Commonwealth," it reads."The Games concept features a compact venue plan centred on the sporting super-precinct of the Moses Mabhida Stadium and adjacent coastline, providing excellent opportunities for innovative sport presentation and enhanced athlete experience. The Opening Ceremony would take place on Mandela Day, 18 July 2022."We're ready, but the work continuesDurban Bid Committee chairperson Mark Alexander said this was the first step towards bringing the Games to Africa, although there was still a lot of work that needed to be done. "We are now working tirelessly to ensure that there is a unanimous vote in favour of Durban on 2 September 2015."Bid Committee chief executive Tubby Reddy added: "We have always maintained that Durban's bid and the subsequent awarding of the bid must be based on merit."We have demonstrated that Durban's proposition was indeed of a world-class standard and that the stringent technical criteria demanded by the CGF have been met by Durban."About the gamesThe Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport, international event for athletes from many territories that were part of the British Empire.They were first held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada, where 11 countries sent 400 athletes to take part in six sports and 59 events.

Look how far we've come: Two decades of freedom
Apartheid denied South Africans the right to vote, to work, to access education, to move freely, to love and marry who they wanted, and more. Freedom Day – 27 April 1994 – changed all that. We look at how far we've come.There are two entrances to the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg − one for whites and another for non-whites. This was the reality during apartheid. (Image: Brand South Africa)Brand South Africa reporterApartheid legislation denied people the right to vote, to work, to access education, to move freely, to love and marry who they wanted, to be free of the fear of imprisonment without trial.Freedom Day – 27 April 1994 – changed all that. It ushered in a new constitutional democracy, underpinned by a groundbreaking Bill of Rights. We take a look at how far we've come over two decades of freedom.Compared to the apartheid era, where the majority had no political rights and parties opposed to apartheid were banned, all South Africans now have the right to freedom of association and are free to make political choices and campaign for any political party or cause.Whereas the majority of South Africans were denied the right to vote during the apartheid era, every adult citizen now has the right to take part in free, fair and regular elections, the right to vote and to stand for public office and, if elected, to hold office.All South Africans have the right to assemble, demonstrate, picket and present petitions, as long as this is done peacefully.Under apartheid, journalists critical of the government were often harrassed, detained and even assassinated. Anti-apartheid publications always risked being banned. By contrast, all South Africans now have the right to freedom of expression.The press and other media can express themselves freely and there is academic freedom and freedom of scientific research.The Bill of Rights also makes provision for the right to access any information that is required for the exercise or protection of any rights. The freedom of expression does not extend to propaganda of war, incitement of imminent violence or advocacy of hatred based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion.Compared to the apartheid era, all South Africans are now equal before the law and have the right to equal protection and benefit of the law.Whereas during apartheid people were detained without trial, mainly for their political beliefs, all citizens now have the right to freedom and security of the person, which includes the right not to be detained without trial and not to be treated or punished in a cruel, inhuman or degrading way.Everyone who is detained has the right to be told the reason for their detention, and to legal representation. Everyone who is arrested for allegedly committing an offence has the right to remain silent and to a fair trial or hearing before a court.Watch US Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg extol the "great piece of work" that is South Africa's Constitution:While the apartheid state sought to deprive the majority of South Africans of their citizenship and controlled their movement through oppressive pass laws and other means, no citizen may be deprived of citizenship and everyone has the right to freely move through the country, reside anywhere and hold a passport.Whereas the apartheid state reserved skilled jobs for white South Africans, all citizens now have the right to choose their trade, occupation or profession.All citizens have the right to fair labour practices, to form and join a trade union and participate in its activities and programmes and the right to engage in collective bargaining. No one may be subjected to slavery, servitude and forced labour.While access to education was racially determined during apartheid, all South Africans now have the right to basic education, including adult basic education, and to further education, which the state has sought to progressively make available and accessible.All South Africans now have the right to access health care, water and social security and appropriate social assistance if they are unable to support themselves and their dependants. No-one may be refused emergency medical treatment.Every child, regardless of race, has a right to basic nutrition, shelter, basic health services and social services. Every child also has the right to family care or parental care and to be protected from maltreatment, neglect, abuse or degradation and exploitative labour practices.Compared to the apartheid era, all citizens have the right to freedom of sexual orientation, conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion.During apartheid, not only was same-sex marriage unheard of, but homosexuality was illegal. In 2006 South Africa became only the fifth country in the world to pass legislation allowing gay and lesbian people to marry – way ahead of so-called developed democracies such as Norway, Sweden and the UK.Apartheid's "immorality" legislation also outlawed sex and marriage between people of different races.

DIY - Board & Batten Wall - Sweet Threads Design Co.
I am so excited to share one of my favorite DIYs, one that adds quite the impact to any space...a full board & batten wall. This was an easy weekend project that only required a few cuts of wood and paint. Ms Lily's room is has quite a unique shape with a small alcove that this worked perfectly in. I love how it added interest and dimension to her room and really added something unique to the space.
To get started, you really need to plan how you are going to lay out the boards on the wall. I knew I wanted at least 4 sets of boxes going across. We took some measurements, most specifically the height and length of the wall and then divided up the length to get boxes. Also keep in mind the width of your boards as well.
We first framed out the entire wall using boards that were 3.5" in width and cut them to fit. Also keep in mind your baseboard moulding. We placed one board at the ceiling going across in length and then two boards on each side.
Next, we placed two more boards going horizontally across. All the boards we used were 3.5" in width to make the whole wall look uniform. The baseboard moulding is what we have throughout our home and was already in place. Again, this is when your initial measurements come in to determine how many boards you will need going across.
Lastly, you will make all the cuts for your vertical boards. Again, this is where your initial measurements will come in and where you determined the size for each box. We cut 9 boards, again all 3.5" in width each about 28" long and nailed them each into the wall to create our boxes. Also keep in mind any outlets or light switches.
And that is it! To finish up this project, all the boards were caulked and nail holes were all filled in and sanded. I also painted the entire wall the same color, Alabaster by Sherwin Williams in semi gloss, that includes all the boards and the insides of each box (aka: the wall). This makes it all look uniform.
Again, this is an easy weekend project that makes a big impact in any space! I just love how it looks in Lily's room with her gray dresser up against it! It really adds so many character and charm to her space.

Some Saudi answers?
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Greensburg, Pa.) | Apr 6, 2017 | Fresh Ink | 0
The question of whether Saudi Arabia had any government-sanctioned role in the 9/11 terror attacks will be addressed in a lawsuit filed by family members of more than 800 victims, who died in these infamous attacks on American soil.
The lawsuit alleges that Saudi Arabia controlled several state-run charities that provided funding used by al-Qaida. Some charities reportedly maintained relations with al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden.
Aside from any "indirect" aid, Saudi officials also provided direct assistance to al-Qaida's leaders, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in lower Manhattan. This reportedly included the use of the Saudi ambassador's residence in Kabul, Afghanistan, as a safe haven by Mr. bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks.
The Saudis also allegedly "cleansed" passports of some of the 19 hijackers (15 were Saudis).
The lawsuit follows congressional legislation passed last year, despite President Obama's veto, that allowed countries such as Saudi Arabia to be sued in terrorism cases. Rather than demean the new law, the Saudis should take this opportunity to resolve questions that have dogged the kingdom ever since the attacks.
Whereas the 9/11 Commission never directly tied the Saudi government to 9/11, it maintained the "likelihood" that government-sponsored charities played a role, The Washington Times reports.
Justice for the victims of 9/11 demands the full disclosure and punishment of every entity that played any role in it.

You'll Want These Watercolor-Like Tiles For Your Next Reno
By ELIZABETH EXLINE
They say the third time's the charm, but designer Julia Buckingham only needed one try to get it right when it came to creating a capsule collection of glazed ceramic tiles for Country Floors.
Buckingham, who divides her time between Chicago and Scottsdale, drew inspiration from what she calls the "tenacity of florals and blooms in such an acrid, desert climate." The resulting collection, "Desert Wildflowers," consists of five tile patterns whose saturated hues pay homage to both desert flora and Buckingham's passion for abstract art.
When installed, the 6-inch tiles create patterns that look like watercolor paintings, whether that's the blushing Kiss Me Quick, the soothing Mist Flower or Paint Brush (shown above), whose moss and rose tones evoke a blooming prickly pear cactus.
But this artistic, painterly collection is also enticingly durable. Designed for vertical installations, the tiles work as well in entryways as they do in bathrooms, kitchens and, as Buckingham recently discovered, a pool house. "It has this almost undulating pattern," Buckingham observes of the finished installation. "It looks like somebody did a pen-and-ink drawing all over the walls."

PARTICIPATING YOUTH
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN WORLD FOOTBALL
We are honoured to be working with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to offer young professional players an opportunity to better understand the role of sports in tackling some of the most pressing issues facing humanity today.
To date, 83 ambassadors from 42 countries across Asia have completed our virtual social responsibility programme. National U17 players nominated by their Football Associations undertook 9 workshops on topics including philanthropy in football, emotional intelligence, safeguarding and peer education. Upon completion, participants are awarded an AFC-Aurora Youth Social Responsibility Ambassador certificate and invited to design their own social projects that, with the support of their local football association, they feel would make the most impact in their communities.

Two Teresas
Synopsis: Two Teresas is a film about two women who share a name and live in the same building. One of them is a youthful Dominican woman with a proposal and exciting career on the horizon, while the other is a senior Italian widow trying to navigate life on her own for the very first time. They form a beautiful bond that bridges their cultural and generational divide, filling needs for one another they didn't even realize they had. This is a film about friendship, tough decisions, and second chances.

This story builds on the idea that people of all ages and cultures have much in common. The two main characters forge a friendship that helps them both with the struggles they are facing. This story illustrates that the false divide between cultures and generations can start with a small interaction that opens the door to empathy and understanding. We are all human beings who need the same things, no matter where our families come from or how old we are.
Rosanne Limoncelli is a filmmaker, writer, and roller skater living in Brooklyn. Rosanne writes plays, screenplays, poetry, mystery fiction, and other genres. She has written and directed short films, produced documentaries and educational films, and is currently in preproduction to produce and direct her first feature. But mostly she writes, and writes, and loves to write. Her short fiction first appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine and her most recent work is in Suspense Magazine and Noir Nation. Rosanne is also the Director of Production for Film and New Media at the Kanbar Institute in Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. She received her BFA from the Department of Film & TV at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and her MA and PhD in Teaching Reading, Writing, and Media from NYU's Steinhardt School. She has been teaching writing and filmmaking to students and professors for many years, and has often served as an educational and technology consultant and speaker at many conferences and universities.
Ariana Taveras is an Afro-Latina writer, director, producer, and performer from Newark, NJ. This last year she co-starred in Two Teresas, a short film she co-wrote, co-produced and co-directed funded by The Russo Brothers. Ariana also co-produced and performed in a virtual production of Windowpain, a play by Rosanne Limoncelli. Last Christmas she starred in Beccs' music video for her song celebrating queer love,"Before this Christmas Ends."

Can bee pollen help relieve pain in my elbow?
I decorate pottery for a living using my right hand to hold the pots, my left to decorate. My right elbow feels like "tennis" elbow when we are very busy. I use my right arm alot, walking my 100 lb. rottweiler, which i hope will keep it strong. Has anyone gotten any relief from taking bee pollen? Also my fingers in my right hand get numb sometimes when i am sleeping. I use honey and no white sugar in my coffee, which had helped some.
Great question! I have not known anyone to directly get pain relief from bee pollen. It certainly won't hurt to consume as it will only help supply vital nutrients for health and healing. I would suggest trying royal jelly or propolis instead, as both have shown a strong anti-inflammatory effect in animal studies. Royal jelly in particular is being studied for arthritis. Also, the main compound in propolis, Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester or CAPE, has very strong anti-inflammatory properties.
You may also want to try a product called MyoMed, which is a topical pain cream and works very well. If you can't source it, contact The Vitamin Store at www.thevitaminstorecanada.com and they can ship you a bottle.
Comments for Can bee pollen help relieve pain in my elbow?
how about a bee sting for that elbow?
