What's the Best Eczema Product?
I often get asked for my opinion on the eczema product that works the best. In my opinion, it depends on the severity of the flare-up. For me, when my eczema is really, really bad, no eczema product helps and most hurt. Even water hurts! The only thing that helps is my body choosing to get its act together ... or a steroid pack that will force my body to temporarily behave.
Below is what I typically use lately. But this is just one opinion; I'm sure other products work and I'll probably change things up later. I've heard a few only-eczema-product-that-worked stories from fellow eczema fighters and I take those recommendations seriously. I've created a product list here that I'll keep updating as I hear new recommendations.
Note: I trust most fragrance free products at this point.
Note: I trust most eczema products at this point, as long as they are fragrance free, since I have a fragrance allergy.
Vaseline on my face - only thing that can keep my face hydrated when I re-apply every two hours.
Note: Aquaphor hurts my skin during severe eczema. It really heats up the skin wherever it's applied, which makes it itchier and more enflamed. In addition, most eczema products, including products I regularly use on my body like the Neosporin Anti Itch cream, seriously burn my skin for at least five minutes. And minutes later, it's itchy again! Not worth it. I just skip using products unless I absolutely need to hydrate, like on my face, which will get so dry that I can't even smile or talk. In this case, only vaseline helps and it doesn't burn.

2nd Hobie 16 Mexican National Championships
Valle de Bravo is an artificial dam created in 1947, located 156 km, southeast of the City of Mexico. It has a surface of 2,900 hectares, making it the ideal location in Mexico, for the practice of water sports, specially sailing.
Friday May 26th – 1st day of the regatta:
At approximately 10 am, at the location Club Náutico Avándaro, athletes from all over México, and from other Countries, were invited to meet for inscriptions. Right after, the Captain meeting, was held, were rules were reviewed, and basic information about the regatta was provided, all 27 catamarans were ready to start this incredible event. All that was missing for the start of the regatta, was the arrival of the most important guest of all "the wind".
At around 1:30 pm, the sound that everyone was waiting sounded, marking the start of the first day of the championship. The wind had finally made its appearance, with a speed of 8 knots, and gusts of around 10 knots. However, the wind only lasted enough to start two regattas.
Once the wind had died, all athletes were invited to Club Náutico San Gaspar del Lago, were the social activities of the event were held. Thanks to Porsche, the event's official sponsor, the first day was a success. After the athletes enjoyed their food, drinks and Company, the class celebrated their Annual Asembley of 2017. Right after, the President of the class, Mario R. Escobosa, gave a short speech to give introduction to a very emotional and special tribute the class had prepared for Don Armando Noriega Consesa, as a surprise, to thank him for his 20 years of presidency and dedication to the Hobie Cat 16 class.
Saturday May 27th – 2nd day of the regatta:
The morning of the second day, the wind was once again a crucial factor, for just as the first day, it made its appearance later in the day, making it only possible to compete 2 out of 5 regattas planned for that day.
At the end of the day, after enjoying a Hog grilled to perfection, accompanied with a typical Hot sauce made with green or red tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt and some green hot peppers toasted and crushed in a kind of ancient mortar made of volcanic rock called "molcajete", and accompanied by delicious artisan beers, Tempus; the event sponsors, had a ruffle, with great gifts. The evening was followed with music, beer and drinks until midnight.
Sunday May 28th – 3rd and last day of the championship:
Having only competed four out of the nine regattas that were planned for day one and day two, the third day and last of the completion was upon us, and considering the past few days, they were very little expectations regarding the wind. However, the athletes waited anxiously that last day, for it would define who the winner of the Second National Championship for the Hobie Cat 16 Class would be.
Unexpectantly, and quite suddenly the wind started at a constant 14 knots, with gusts of up to 18 knots. The committee was fast in signalling the beginning of the regatta, thus commencing the 3rd day racing. It was after 6 pm that the 6 and last regatta finished, and the fleet returned to shore.
All athletes met once agin at the Club Nautico San Gaspar del Lago, to enjoy a delicious paella, and each other's company. In the meantime, the committee got together to review and analysed the results to come up with the winners in each class, and the overall champion of the event:
Mario R. Escobosa, President of the class, and Treasurer of the Mexican Sailing Federation (FMV), highlighted that aside from the high level of performance and competition during the event, there is a sense of friendship and fraternity among the fleet that make this class a very special and united one, a class that is currently growing in size, with new and innovative projects, such as the implementation of the spinnaker, planning to be used starting on the second half of 2017. All of this, will allow the class to continue its growth, and to continue to increase the level of competition.
In 2018, the National Championship will be the regatta that will define the tema that will represent México in the upcoming XXIII Centro-Americana and Caribbean Games, that will tape place in Barranquilla, Colombia 2018

Návrh (v anglickém originále The Proposal) je americká filmová romantická komedie režisérky Anne Fletcher v hlavních rolích se Sandrou Bullock a Ryanem Reynoldsem.

Děj
Margaret Tate je výkonnou šéfredaktorkou v nakladatelství. Její zaměstnanci ji nemají rádi, protože je tvrdá, ctižádostivá a chladná. Když se dozví, že bude deportovaná do Kanady, protože jí vypršelo pracovní vízum, přinutí svého často zneužívaného, ale schopného a ochotného asistenta Andrewa Paxtona, aby si ji vzal. Ten nejdříve váhá, ale nakonec svolí, když mu Margaret vyhrožuje, že všechna jeho tvrdá práce za poslední roky bude ztracená, pokud ji šéfové budou muset propustit. Na imigračním oddělení je ale podezírají, že podvádějí. Když to popřou, úředník je informuje o procesu, jenž je potřeba, aby si úřad byl jistý, že jejich vztah není podvod - budou jim každému zvlášť pokládány otázky o tom druhém. Pokud nebudou jejich odpovědi souhlasit, Margaret bude deportována a Andrew půjde do vězení. Protože Andrew tím vše riskuje, vynutí si od Margaret slib, že ho po svatbě udělá redaktorem a vydá jeho knihu.

Aby jim uvěřili, pár společně cestuje do Sitky na Aljašce za Andrewovou rodinou. Po přečtení otázek během letu Andrew zjistí, že již téměř vše o Margaret ví, ale ona se bude muset všechno o něm během několika dní naučit. Na Aljašce Margaret zjistí, že Andrew je z velmi bohaté rodiny. Seznámí se s jeho matkou Grace, babičkou Annie, otcem Joem, ale také s Andrewovou bývalou přítelkyní Gertrudou. Na party Andrew oznámí své zasnoubení a po ní odejdou do společné ložnice.

Druhý den ráno ztratí Margaret mobil, na němž je závislá, při záchraně rodinného psa před jestřábem, Andrew jí zařídí nový. Pak Andrewova matka a babička vezmou Margaret do strip klubu, kde se setká také s Gertrudou a dozví se od ní nějaké informace o Andrewovi - že si chce vybudovat vlastní život nezávisle na rodinném bohatství a že vztah mezi nimi byl dost vážný. Když se ženy vrátí domů, Margaret zjistí, že Joe naléhá na Andrewa, aby převzal rodinné obchody na Aljašce, což on vytrvale odmítá. Toho večera se Margaret rovněž svěří Andrewovi s osobními věcmi.

Následující den přesvědčí rodina pár, aby se vzali ještě ten den, což neochotně přijmou. Babička Annie dá Margaret své staré svatební šaty a starý přívěsek. Když Margaret zjistí, kolik problémů by Andrewovi způsobila, unese člun i s Andrewem, kde mu řekne, že zapomněla jaké to je mít rodinu a nechce mu tu jeho zničit. Ve stejný den kontaktuje imigrační úředník Gilbertson Joea, aby si ověřil, že je vztah Margaret a Andrewa podvod. Joe ho pozve do Sitky a doufá, že bude svatba zrušena. S Gilbertsonem udělá dohodu, že Andrew nebude stíhaný, pokud přizná, že je sňatek podvod, ale Margaret bude deportovaná do Kanady. Andrew i přesto odmítá, že by jejich vztah byl lež.

Uprostřed svatebního obřadu ale Margaret vše přizná a Gilbertson ji pak informuje, že má jeden den na to, aby se vrátila do Kanady. Andrew pak v jejich pokoji objeví dopis s rozloučením a slibem, že Margaret jeho knihu vydá. Když se Andrew rozhodne jít za Margaret, odehraje se další hádka mezi ním a Joem. Když se je snaží zastavit, dostane babička Annie infarkt. Když letí do nemocnice, přinutí Joea a Andrewa, aby se přestali hádat, než zemře. Když s tím souhlasí, Annie přizná, že infarkt pouze předstírala. Letadlo se pak vydá za Margaret, aby se Andrew mohl pokusit ji zastavit před odletem do New Yorku, ale nestihne to. Andrew se potom rovněž vydá do New Yorku a v kanceláři přede všemi požádá Margaret o ruku. Oba potom znovu jdou za Gilbertsonem, aby mu oznámili, že jsou zasnoubení, tentokrát doopravdy.

Did You Know Federally-Regulated Employees Cannot Be Dismissed Without Just Cause?
A few weeks ago, the Supreme Court of Canada confirmed that employees subject to the Canada Labour Code cannot be dismissed without just cause. A link to this decision can be found here.
Generally, an employee who is not part of a union can be dismissed without cause, provided that the employer gives the employee a reasonable amount of notice of termination of employment or pay in lieu of notice. However, employees whose employment is governed by the Canada Labour Code cannot be terminated without just cause for dismissal. In other words, a federally-regulated employer cannot let go of an employee on a without cause basis simply by offering what would otherwise be a fair and reasonable severance package. To do otherwise would constitute an unjust dismissal.
In connection with my previous post, just as the Ontario Human Rights Code provides for reinstatement as a remedy, the Canada Labour Code also provides for reinstatement of employees who have been unjustly dismissed.

Portion of Ponce de Leon closed this weekend & next
by Collin Kelley March 22, 2012
The Atlanta BeltLine bridge over Ponce de Leon Avenue will be raised off of its existing abutments to be remediated, retrofitted and repainted as part of construction of the Eastside Trail. The stretch of road between Ponce de Leon Place and the Midtown Place Shopping Center (across from Ponce City Market) will be closed from 9 p.m. on Friday, March 23, to 5 a.m. on Monday, March 26. The road will close again March 30 to April 2.
All vehicular access points to the shops at Midtown Place, the Kroger shopping center, Ponce Place and Ford Factory Lofts will be open and accessible during this road closure. Detour signs and off duty-police officers will be on hand to direct motorists.
While the bridge is raised, crews will install decking and scaffolding to protect cars and pedestrians, remove old paint, prime the metal, and repaint it. The bridge will then be fitted with unobtrusive security fencing as required by the Georgia DOT. Additional weekend closures can be expected to lower the bridge and complete construction of the Eastside Trail later this spring.
The section of Ralph McGill Boulevard between Freedom Parkway and Ashley Avenue (near Copenhill Lofts, Freedom Heights Lofts and Block Lofts) where a new bridge is being installed will remain closed until March 29 .

Spotlight Story Program: Scarlett Aylen's Story
Meet Scarlett Aylen
Our latest Spotlight Story comes from across the Atlantic Ocean with a fresh take on empowerment and facing the obstacles that life can throw at us. We were so excited to hear from 20-year-old university student from the United Kingdom, Scarlett Aylen, when she submitted her story. Scarlett is an example that chronic illness and health struggles affect the entire person, both physically and mentally, and she advocates each young person should be supported as an entire being. Her inner strength feeds into her organization RCASS, helping young people and their families after a scoliosis diagnosis. You learn so much through Scarlett's story about resilience, advocacy, and finding ways to enjoy life.
It all started when I walked into a consulting room and saw my spine, looking horrifically and severely curved on a huge screen right in front of me. I was 12 and was diagnosed with severe scoliosis. I cried and cried to the point where the consultant and nurse had to let me leave the appointment without having one. I didn't feel like a young girl, but now I see 12-year old's and realized why my parents were so scared for me. I spent 9 months in and out of the worst time of my life, I was depressed and didn't speak to my family. I changed.
I hid in a thick jumper and coat at school so nobody could see my deformed back, despite it being 30°C and summer. In the months leading up to the operation, my mental health continued to deteriorate, but the waiting list was preventing me from the operation I was desperate for. After the major surgery to fix the curve in my spine, the recovery was long. It took months. I was so scared to have water on my back. I remember so vividly having a panic attack when it was time to shower for the first time since the operation. It took me months to get into a swimming pool and I would insist on covering myself up. I couldn't do sports anymore. I used to ride, swim and do triathlons competitively but I gave everything I spent my childhood doing, up. Every time I tried to exercise there was always an excuse. But I was on the road to recovery, so it was ok.
Unfortunately, this was just the start of the problems. I thought I would just get better. Then I started to realize I couldn't breathe. At one point, it felt like I could barely breathe at all. I also started experiencing severe anxiety on return to school and fought with panic disorder for about a year. I went to the doctors on multiple occasions and each time they told me I was just experiencing breathlessness due to anxiety. I argued and finally got a referral to a pediatrician, who allergy tested me. She said my lungs were the age of a 70-year-old but again, it was just anxiety! Through my GCSE years, I had therapy and I thought the anxiety was gone. It was just hiding. I still could not breathe. Eventually I saw a respiratory specialist who diagnosed me with restrictive lung disease and asthma. The scan showed that one of my lungs is half the size of the other and my heart is not in the same place as everyone else's because of this, and that ¼ of my big lung wasn't even working due to infection.
However, having someone take me seriously was a huge relief. I had special respiratory physiotherapy and now take medication for my lungs. Being me, I was unlucky again.
The respiratory specialist had found a screw in a CT scan of my lungs that was dangerously close to my heart and sent me back to the spinal surgeon. He told me the operation wasn't urgent, but that he had cancelled someone's surgery (who waited a year to have it) and that he wanted to do it tomorrow. I woke up screaming in pain. My shoulders and neck have never been the same since. The surgeon couldn't find anything wrong in a scan afterwards, so he sent me to a pain specialist. He basically said that I had no reason to be in chronic pain so off I go. I went to a specialist and got 3 medications to help with the pain. I have 16 Botox injections every 6 months when I can afford them, and it is the only thing that relaxes my neck and shoulders. The way I would describe the pain is severe, chronic and incredibly tense. They were constantly in spasm, which was excruciating and incredibly tiring.
By the end of my further education, I had missed out on 8 months of school and college due to pain, anxiety and fatigue. I was in so much pain and anxiety during my final exams, that I landed myself in the ER the day before my last ones from a tachycardia attack where my heart sat at 190 BPM for 3 hours. Luckily, I take medication for my heart and I am symptom free most of the time, but it again took years to diagnose since the GP dismissed palpitations and a fast heart rate as being 'anxiety'.
Nowadays, I focus on what my body needs. Recently, I discovered that the fatigue I'd been having for years, that kept getting worse was probably a neurological condition called narcolepsy, after the GP just told me it was probably anxiety, but then tried to pass it off as ME (chronic fatigue syndrome) after one appointment. I am now getting treatment for this which is exciting!
One of the perks of dealing with conditions like mine over a long period of time (over 7 years now) is that it has allowed me to learn about myself and what works for me. I understand it now. Before, I wouldn't let myself rest if I was about to collapse from exhaustion, but now I give my body time to recover before I start doing things again. I have friends with ME and the tips they have given me for my conditions help me as well, even though I don't have it.
If I have, what I call a 'pain crisis', where my pain is worse than the average daily pain I get anyway, I have learnt to stop absolutely everything. It is hard to do that when you have a lot of goals, but it is an important step towards managing your body. After I turned 17, I started realizing I couldn't hide from doing the things my friends could do for the rest of my life. I plucked up some courage and started doing things like get back on a horse and going to the gym.
I took a gap year and decided that it wasn't fair on young people who had to wait for scoliosis surgery to have no support before and after the operation, so I have decided to set up my own organization to help this and called it RCASS.
I want to help young people and their parents after a diagnosis of scoliosis. The end goal is to provide more support in the future and to register as a charity to help provide young people with opportunities to recover confidence after scoliosis surgery. It is still in the starting stage, but I can't wait to work on it properly!
I took a gap year before I went to university and decided its purpose was to 'challenge myself to lengths I had not done before'. I went travelling alone, I went up mountains, on hikes, skiing, jumping off cliffs, surfing, volunteering and many more activities. I am incredibly proud of myself, but I must admit, the pain was still there. My biggest achievement to date is building the confidence to wear a bikini on a beach or by a pool. I never used to wear a small amount of clothes, but gradually I have worked up and now I don't browse the shops thinking about what can hide my back, I'd rather show it!
As for my mental health, I needed the gap year and it did me the world of good. I still have some wobbly moments sometimes, and the anxiety meant I flew home 3 times on my travelling. But overall, I feel that my experiences have made me 10 times as more empathetic, understanding and positive compared to what I would have been like if nothing had ever happened to me! Another life changing moment was when I was told 'a problem shared is a problem solved'.
It isn't always easy when it comes to other young people but when I got to about 16 everyone started understanding and now I am so lucky to have incredibly supportive friends after I explain my problems to them, they help me with lots of things that I wouldn't have help with if I didn't share my story.
I tend to joke about my past now, and although it has been a harrowing journey, I know I am the person I am today from the experience. Time has taught me how to look after myself. Although I still have problems, I know how to deal with them both in a better mental mindset and physical one too.

The Catch 22 of Illness and Disability Portrayals in Media: All Representation is Good Representation vs. Accuracy Only, Please
*repost from February 25, 2018*
When I get a rare bit of time to relax, I sometimes just want to put my feet up and watch some TV. And when those flashy, at times 100-level volume, commercials come on, my interest is usually only peaked when a new movie trailer popped on the screen . Well …trailers or one of my staple favorites commercials like the Swiffer commercials with Lee and Morty comes on for a good laugh. I always like to see what stories are being told in film, and what may be worth a watch. Whether I'm in need of a good laugh or cry, a love story or comedy, or some intense action–never a horror film since I'm too easily spooked–trailers are my swipe left or swipe right decider.
In the last couple years, I've noticed what feels like a push in films that have led characters and plot lines focused on chronic illnesses and disabilities. You would imagine I would overwhelmingly love seeing this, after all, I founded InvisiYouth Charity where I'm constantly pushing and motivating for equal representation. But as I watch these trailers, the feeling is mixed between a quick boost of excitement and a similarly immediate drop of frustration.
I feel flooded with a ping-pong of thoughts:
Wow, finally a film bringing a lead character with a rare, not main stream-known disease.
Are there seriously no disabled actors that can actually be hired to actually portray the actual illness or disability?
Representation is great for young adult health conversations and awareness!
Does every chronically ill or disabled person in a movie have to be the center of a love story of overcoming some massive life crisis? Can't they just be a character with a storyline that happens to be sick or disabled?
It's brilliant getting conversations going about young adults living with illness. They are just young adults like anyone else too.
These actors aren't acting like an authentic sick or disabled person. Someone with that illness definitely cannot do that, it's not true.
For me, it's a Catch 22 scenario with my sentiments on what truly matters most: awareness or accuracy. And maybe I maintain an overly positive mindset and believe that both are valuable, and try to find the best in what is coming out in the media. I want to believe that, while I have a ton of issues with the inaccuracy of portrayals and lack of diverse casting, there can be some good in this wave of films addressing characters with disabilities or illnesses, especially for the young adults that are watching them. Just in the purity of having more people watching films showcasing lives lived by people with disabilities and illnesses; that while the health stories of these individuals may be more complex and unique, but their life stories are just like anyone else. The more eyes we can get from them general public to see this community, the more understanding and change that can arise from it.

If no films were coming out with characters living with chronic illnesses or disabilities, then the ease in which people can talk about the health subjects diminishes. When I suggest to young adults talking with friends about their health struggles, I tell them sometimes it can help to show their friends what that daily journey is like.
And often, young people tell me they want to reference what's sort of similar to their life and portrayed in the media, the films and TV shows they watch, with characters living with similar conditions.
You can have young people tell their friends to watch the 5th season of Freeform's THE FOSTERS because a main character, Jesus, is living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and the show is displaying an entire arc about the process of recovery personally, socially, academically and emotionally. Actor, Noah Centineo, and the writers, talked often about the preparation that went into bringing accuracy and justice to this plot line.
Then we go to another show, Canadian-born (and globally famous) teen TV drama, Degrassi, where so many different story arcs for decades showcase what various illnesses and disabilities could look like for teens. From characters living with mental health struggles like depression and OCD, to illnesses like leukemia and cystic fibrosis, DEGRASSI prides itself on tackling topics that show diversity in all its forms. While hiring actors living with these health struggles lacks, Degrassi breaking stigmas to open the conversations in real life, to create more understanding, open minds and change.
However, a line needs to be drawn when it comes to this wave of media using characters with illness or disability to romanticize or dramatize the storylines.
Health struggles should not be a plot device to add more complexity to a storyline or character, because it reality, that is not how it works. As someone living with an illness, I don't get the luxury to "turn it on or off" when it suits the situations in my life…and there certainly isn't any romantic background music playing when I have to tell people about my health struggles. This is where accuracy completely disintegrates and it can tarnish an entire film, when these storylines lack realism. So yes, while I can be happy for opening the door of conversation and normalizing the visibility of illnesses and disabilities mainstream, they are done so without accuracy. And that's should not continue.
Last year, films came out and addressed lead characters living with disability and illness…but the characters and storylines where not only lacking in accuracy to the daily life of someone with that health struggle, but also the actors were able-bodied and healthy.
That inaccuracy may not be apparent to audiences not living with health issues, but for anyone living with any sort of illness or disability, the films and actors are like neon lights pointing out the wrongs. With WONDER, while a beautiful storyline, it has an able-bodied character portraying the genetic disorder Treacher Collins Syndrome.
And with EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, the immune-deficiency disease SCID, Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, is also portrayed by an actress not living with illness—and when this film was coming out, all over our twitter we saw reactions from the Spoonie community talking about the major inaccuracies of the illness portrayal and character lifestyle. "It's so unrealistic" I would hear youth say. What made it feel even worse was that a general audience would never notice the flaws and assume this is how relationships and life can look for any of their friends with illnesses or disabilities. Stereotyping the "illness lifestyle" is what continues to enable ignorance, lack of understanding and empathy for change.
Even a film that I enjoyed, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, lacks realism and has two able-bodied actors without illness portraying osteosarcoma/subsequent amputation and Stage 4 Thyroid Cancer. I enjoy the film and book as pieces of fictional storytelling. I love the love story of the two characters, the satire in which teenage illness is discussed among all the characters, because while not accurate at times, the tone is so similar to my outlook. I tell friends this movie has moments that are relatable to the experience, and it is a film that can get my friends to feel comfortable asking me questions about my health because of that.
In a way, films and TV shows that have what I call "the health struggle plot line" need to be used as talking points or references to help bring that de-stigmatizing conversation WITH A DISCLAIMER. There needs to be a 'fine print' comment every time you want to use a film or character to reference…saying "well this character is living life with an illness similar to mine…yes, it's not super accurate, but it can show you a bit of what that feels like for me." I always use the disclaimer method, when using media and film to try and explain to friends what my relationships and lifestyle can be like, and that can feel disheartening because there's so much in daily life I need to teach others around me as I adapt, I shouldn't have to do this with film portrayals too.
In my opinion, it's disheartening that in 2018, we still have to put a disclaimer to these storylines, that they cannot be made accurately. And yes, let's giving the benefit of the doubt because everyone's experience with an illness or disability is different. Two people with the same diagnosis do not respond, treat, or adapt to life the same ways…so one portrayal in a film may match up exactly to my life, but not someone else's with my diagnosis. That's the way uniqueness in society works, so it's all about finding common ground and working from there.
Look at a movie coming out next month, MIDNIGHT SUN, where the female lead is living with a rare genetic disorder, Xeroderma Pigmentosum. Is it wonderful that rare diseases are FINALLY getting some screen time and going into mainstream films so more people can talk about it? Absolutely! But how much does it suck that the portrayal is by an actress without the illness, and the illness is romanticized, instead of realistically portrayed? A lot!
To see films using illness as a plot point for romance and drama, that is what needs to stop because it's not realistic. How about films just happen to have their lead characters living with an illness or disability, and something else causes the drama or romance to build? That would be interesting AND original…two things films are always looking to create.
But to me, what matters most, what it truly gets down to, is the lack of opportunity for actors with disabilities or illnesses to portray what is this life and journey accurately. So often, characters are developed for a film or TV show where they are designed to have an illness or disability and the actor that gets the part has zero connection to it.
They are not chronically ill or disabled and have to "portray" the role without any personal experience. It seems so contradictory to not hire an actor with a disability to portray a character with a disability. There are so many talented young people around the world living with chronic illnesses and disabilities that are actors and they should be the first choice for hire! These individuals should be the ones on the casting list, and it's for not just accuracy in the storyline, but also it continues to build inclusivity in the industry.
And even more disheartening is how true this is when it takes me FOREVER to come up with just a couple examples in my head of TV shows or films with accurate casting. It shouldn't take much effort to list off accurately casted films or shows. When the industry says, "oh there aren't that many actors to fill the need" or "it would be hard to assist or adapt to these actors" I have to call their bluff and say that's such a ridiculous copout. Heck, our latest Celebrity Ambassador, Melissa Johns, is a British disability activist and actress, and she's such a talented actress!
Look at the positives when a film or show are accurately casted. The Freeform show SWITCHED AT BIRTH, was centered around many characters that were deaf or hearing impaired (the actress Katie Leclerc who portrays one of the protagonists, Daphne, lives with hearing loss due to Meniere's disease, an illness also given to her character). The variety of communication like American Sign Language, is a great example of how to integrate differences between those living with deafness or illness and those who do not. And bonus… actors like Katie Leclerc, Sean Berdy, Ryan Lane, and Marlee Matlin, have actual hearing impairments so it was accurate and inclusively casted! The show feels even more authentic, passionate, and inspired because the characters are portrayed by individuals with the exact illness and disability.
Wouldn't the film industry want to bring that much truth and emotion out of their audiences, bring that much notoriety and conversation and impact society enough to make lasting change?
I think it should, and that is the main point of contention in this international debate.
That is why I really want to believe in the positives of both seeing all this representation of illness/disability in films and TV, while also seeing the benefits of accuracy in storylines when illness or disability are being brought into the fold.
While you can either find representation or accuracy more important in films, what truly matters is that there needs to be more opportunity for actors with illnesses and disabilities. There needs to be more roles written to portray this community, with requirements of accurate casting. There needs to be more opportunities for these fantastic actors to be hired to show their talent playing any roles, whether their illness or disability is the focal point or not.
My truest goal is that we can see films or TV shows that have actors with illnesses and disabilities on a regular basis, a true progression that needs to be made to show all the facets of societal diversity.

How can I fix my error while creating a bootcamp partition?
But when i check my drive under disk utility it says that my drive is already in MacOS External (journaled). What could the problem be? I posted this previously but I haven't got any suggestions. I currently have no partitions. My time machine is dead, can I re-format without back-up? If I don't have any partitions why wont some files transfer? I'm new to Mac OS so please be as descriptive as possible, thanx. by the way, im trying to create a partition for Windows7, if that's of any help.
I've been unable to format or partition several drives, 2.5 & iPod drives that have been previously formatted MS DOS (fat).
is this the error message you get?
if so, I've heard that bootcamp needs a large enough unfragmented chunk of disk space on your drive to be able to set up your Windows partition, otherwise it stops with this error. it's trying to tell your existing OS X installation is fragmented and not enough space for a contiguous 2nd partition.
1) first back up your entire drive to an external disk. personally, I recommend using SuperDuper!
Or, you mentioned something about Time Machine - you could also just do a full TM backup.
2) reboot from OS X install disk and now reformat your drive as HFS extended (journaled).
thanx bac, thats the exact error message I get. Great answer!!!
by the way, i see SuperDuper is pretty particular about which external drives its compatible with. Do u recommend any?
Hi, I suspect that you have a bigger problem. So better bakup your data to an external harddrive (not with timemachine). Then I recommend a fresh installation of your system from DVD (Leopard?) with a fresh formatting during installation. Dont forget all updates via software-update before going on.
After that your bootcamp should work without problems.
3)Restart your mac normally now, and open boot camp assistant.Then when it asks you whether to create a new partition or install windows, you insert the windows installation disk, click install windows and Bingo!!
Hope that it can work for you.
Intensity is right; this worked out perfectly. Both errors for Extended Journal and fragmented space didn't come up when I was in Safe Mode. This was the quickest and most efficient way to get the partition onto the Mac. Thanks a bunch!
I found another solution. It may take time though. You need to try reinstalling windows by using bootcamp and then uninstall it. When you ask bootcamp to delete the partition used for windows, it will also "delete" the free space. It worked for me.
Majesty zal eeuwig dankbaar zijn.


Although our history is Rugby League, RLCM is expanding our performance psychology courses and services to all sports such as Rugby Union, Australian Rules Football, Football, Cricket, Hockey, Surfing, Tennis, Swimming and more!
Our online courses are suited for Coaches, Athletes, parents, Schools and Clubs for virtually all sporting disciplines. We have members in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, plus many other countries.
Here's what our members are saying about RLCM.
I believe all clubs and coaches at all levels should have copies of RLCM as a coaching resource.
This is the best resource I found online for coaching. It does so much more than just the typical 'skills and drills' approach. I understand new coaches need that, but those of us who have been around a while need to be pushed and challenged and RLCM does that. Great job!
I'm loving the material, especially the sports psychology parts. Can't wait for the rest of the course!
Shayne, thanks for your email what a great service. Absolutely love the case studies. Well done to all.


Is Your City Really at the Service of Your Citizens?
Citizens increasingly feel the need to be involved in the management of their city. For that reason, several opportunities are available for cities to satisfy new expectations of citizens. With the Elise Citizen Relationship Management solution by NeoLedge, you will soon be a Smart City!
The Elise Citizen Relationship Management solution enables cities to set up an application that will allow citizens to create reports via an Open 311 protocol. This geolocalizes the citizen when he makes a request.
First, the citizen connects to the mobile application or to the 311 web application integrated into the city portal. He then details his request by specifying certain information such as the type of incident, the importance of the problem, a photograph, etc. The citizen's location will also be included in this data, which will then be transferred to the appropriate department.
Being active on social networks is another new expectations of citizens on the city. Increasingly present in our lives, social networks are the ideal channel to bring the administration and citizens closer together. This makes it easy for citizens to send information to the city and facilitate continuous dialogue with the community. More and more cities have understood the need and urgency to elevate their presence on social media to inform and communicate with their citizens.
How cities handle phone calls is very important. The installation of a reception interface module is THE solution to facilitate this process. First, the citizen is identified through the contact database or through free input. The agent then transcribes the request through a simple "notepad" area. It is also possible to characterize the query according to a list of questions. Then, the subject of the request and its importance are qualified. The record is finally saved in the Elise ECM software and can be transmitted to the appropriate department for processing.
Because citizens do not only send their requests by telephone, the management of e-mails, and mail in general, is essential for cities.
A mail management solution, like Elise ECM, will allow all mail to be centralized in the same place, whether it is emails or paper mail. Then, processes will be assigned to handle tasks more quickly. Sending responses is also facilitated and accelerated through pre-established document templates and electronic signature.
But a city does not just receive mail from its citizens. It has relationships with multiple partners, vendors and contractors. Unlike other solutions, Elise ECM allows you to place an electronic signature on a single document or a batch of documents at one time, to expedite your document processing and city management.
Reaching Smart City status is an objective of many cities today. From e-administration to eco-responsible cities, the road to becoming an intelligent city can seem full of pitfalls. Change management must also be considered in an administration. NeoLedge accompanies you in this change with user training and a turnkey solution to successfully transform your city.

Top meteorologist drowns in rough surf amid warning from National Weather Service
By Colleen Killingsworth
DUCK, N.C. - Dr. William "Bill" Lapenta, a top government meteorologist who had served as the director of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, drowned Monday while swimming in rough surf along the coast of Duck, North Carolina.
"While the exact factors that caused the death are unknown, Monday's surf conditions and a rip current in the area were likely a factor," according to a statement from the Town of Duck.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Monday, an off-duty ocean rescue supervisor was in the area of Pelican Way beach in the Sanderling area of Duck when he spotted what he believed to be a swimmer in distress and alerted emergency services.
Lifeguards on patrol responded within minutes upon receiving the call and pulled an unresponsive 58-year-old male from the water, who was later identified as Lapenta.
Duck Surf Rescue, Duck Fire and Police and Dare County EMS initiated CPR and other life-saving measures immediately, but they were unable to resuscitate Lapenta. He was pronounced dead on scene at approximately 5 p.m.
The National Weather Service had issued a beach hazards statement Monday for Eastern Carolina beaches, including Duck, as Hurricane Lorzeno churned waters in the Atlantic Ocean, according to The Weather Channel. The agency's statement warned of rip currents and swells between 4 to 7 feet — with the worst conditions expected within a few hours before or after high tide, which had occurred at 3 p.m.
Red flags, which warn swimmers of severe hazards in the water, flew at area beaches on Tuesday and Wednesday, but a spokeswoman for the town told The Weather Channel that they were not up on Monday.
Lifeguards in the area are not stationed in stands after Labor Day, but patrol the beach in all-terrain vehicles.
NOAA confirmed Lapenta's death on Tuesday, and NWS Director Louis W. Uccellini sent an all-hands email to NWS employees with the news.
"This is a tragic loss to all of us in the NOAA family and to Bill's atmospheric science colleagues throughout the world," Uccellini said in the email, which was forwarded to Weather.com by a NOAA spokesman. "We are all in shock and trying to process this news and accept it. As we all grieve this tragedy, I hope you will take a minute to reflect on the many wonderful things Bill did to help us advance our mission while remaining a true friend to all of us that had the good fortune to know him. He will be greatly missed."
While serving as the director of the NCEP, Lapenta handled oversight of nine National Weather Service offices, including the Storm Prediction Center and the Ocean Prediction Center.
Before joining the NOAA as the acting director of the NCEP Environmental Modeling Center in 2008, Dr. Lapenta spent 20 years working for NASA at the Marshall Space Flight Center. While at NASA, Lapenta also served as an adjunct professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Alabama, Huntsville for 16 years.
Lapenta leaves behind his wife, Cathy, who is also a meteorologist, and his two children.

Nissan SUV and Crossover Vehicle Overview
2016 Nissan Juke Nismo. Photo (c) Nissan
by Jason Fogelson
Jason Fogelson is an automotive journalist specializing in SUVs. He has also served as president of the Motor Press Guild and published a book.
Nissan's lineup of Sport Utility Vehicles and Crossovers is comprehensive, with a vehicle for nearly every segment. Here's brief guide to the Nissan SUV and crossover lineup, with links to reviews and photo galleries.
The compact crossover Nissan Juke hit US shores as a 2011 model, and continues through 2016 with minor cosmetic and equipment upgrades. The Juke comes with a 1.6-liter direct-injected four-cylinder turbocharged engine (188 hp/177 lb-ft of torque or 215 hp/210 lb-ft of torque in Nismo RS models). Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive optional. Front-wheel drive models come standard with a six-speed manual transmission or optional continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive models come with a CVT only. Prices for the Juke start at $20,250 (S); $22,300 (SV); $25,240 (SL); $24,830 (Nismo); $28,020 (Nismo RS). Fuel economy ranges from 25 city/29 highway to 28 city/34 highway, depending on engine/transmission configuration.
The Nissan Rogue made its debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. A compact crossover with an available third row, the Rogue fills a gap in the Nissan lineup. It should compete with the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Base prices start at $23,290. Built on the Nissan "C" platform, the Rogue is a front engine vehicle available in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Rogue is equipped with a 2.5 liter DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 170 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. Rogue gets Nissan's Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) as standard equipment. The EPA estimates Rogue's fuel economy at 26 city/33 highway with front-wheel drive, and 25/32 with all-wheel drive.
Murano is a two-row mid-size crossover. Murano comes with a CVT, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, a 3.5 liter V6 that produces 260 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque. Base prices start from $29,660 to $39,100 depending on equipment and specifications. A makeover for 2009 has not changed the essential character of the Murano, it has simply refined it. In a quirk of manufacturing, there was no 2008 model Murano. Another makeover brought a cosmetically refreshed Murano for the 2015 model year. A brief (2011 – 2014) convertible variant, the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, was pilloried by many reviewers and ignored by buyers. EPA estimates for Murano are 21 mpg city/28 mpg highway for both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models.
Pathfinder underwent a complete makeover for 2013, changing from a traditional body-on-frame SUV to a car-based three-row crossover vehicle after three generations (1985 – 1995; 1996 – 2006; 2007 – 2012) as a rugged SUV. Pathfinder gets the same 3.5-liter V6 (260 hp/240 lb-ft of torque) as the Murano, along with a CVT and standard front-wheel drive. 4x4 is optional. Fuel economy is estimated at 20 city/27 highway (FWD) and 19/26 (4WD). Base prices range from $29,830 to $41,610 plus options, depending on configuration.

2008 Nissan Pathfinder Test Drive and Review.
The Armada is the flagship of the Nissan SUV lineup. The Armada is big. There's no two ways about that. It's big, even for a large SUV. The 5.6 Liter V8 under the Armada's hood pumps out 317 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque, and does a great job putting the 5,593 lb SUV through its paces using a five-speed automatic transmission and either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive (optional). The Armada can tow up to 9,000 lbs. 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS haul the Armada down from speed, and vehicle dynamic control helps keep the wheels on the road. Base prices range from $8,510 to $51,970 plus options, depending on configuration. The EPA estimates that Armada can achieve 13 mpg city/19 mpg highway.

Draw the areas of the stage on the board as found in the staging chapter of the manual.
Then divide the class into two groups: First group are the players on the stage, the second group are the directors.
Premise: The players, who have all been asked to stand center stage as close to center without hurting or touching other players, must go to the area of the stage the directors call out when their name is called.
Facilitator, you the teacher, calls on a director to choose an area of the stage.
Facilitator calls on another director to have three players move to that area of the stage.
Continue until the directors have moved all players to other areas of the stage.
Then, continue by having the directors use levels or shapes and balance to move the players or have them use their bodies to make inserting and balanced pictures where everyone is visible to the audience.
· Start with the group not involved in the action first!
· Can do this while the other students work on a project with a parent volunteer or they can help them make good choices while being "directors" observing and asking questions.
· Use the "mind's eye", their imaginations, to picture what they are doing before they do it!
· Talk it out a bit before the students move to their beginning spot.
· Draw pictures of their plans as they describe them to you!
· Keep Imagined Staging Simple!!
· Repeated songs are best so are repeated actions!
· Stop and work on it again later!!!
· Have them go and work it out on their own and come back and share after recess.
· Johnny Get Your Haircut: Use activity for finding different ways of showing the same action (scissors).
· Don Gato: stage the song!
· Pizza, Pizza: Different ways to move!
