Building a good cake studio is not difficult and it is advisable to purchase the right equipment. Determine how many cakes you would like to make per week and calculate the through-put which will tell you the size of pieces of equipment necessary to accomplish your production goals.
The Deluxe Oven is designed as a gentle convection oven which means it has small fans that gently circulate the air throughout the oven. The cakes do not list or get blown to one side as with ordinary convection ovens and they generally come out rather flat on top which reduces waste.
The Deluxe gentle convection oven can be stacked.
This oven has 4 decks and can bake an enormous amount of cake per shift. The maximum number of wedding cakes produced in my studio during the height of the season was 10 between my friend Dan Mikosz of Decadence Custom Cakes and myself.
The refrigeration could hold at least 27 tiers of cake. I had True refrigeration and a freezer which was very handy for the kind of production that was done in this studio. We were able to produce as much cake as we did because the cakes were freezer friendly.
When you fill a chiffon cake with a mousse you can easily freeze that tier of cake as long as you don't ice it until just prior to the event day. Chiffon cakes are very freezer friendly and our production week started on Tuesdays with the event day being either a Friday or Saturday or Sunday. I would not freeze cakes longer than a week or so unless you have huge production and a walk-in freezer with racks that I know as covered wagons. Reach-in refrigeration is perfect for small production.
These are True T-49 large capacity reach-ins..one is a refrigerator and one is a freezer. They serve a small studio very well.
Mixers are essential for any sort of well run cake studio. The 20 quart Globe mixer could easily make over 10 pounds of buttercream at one mixing and the 40 quart could make over 20 pounds of buttercream at a single mixing not to mention enough cake batter to completely fill the oven.
This 20 quart mixer is an essential piece of equipment for any cake studio.
Here is a picture of the beloved 40 quart Hobart.
The 40 quart Hobart is actually a petite floor model and for small cake studios, this mixer is ideal.
So this is an overview of some of the pieces of equipment you will need if you wish to build a small cake studio. Remember that certain pieces of equipment need to be on dedicated electrical outlets. If you care for your equipment well it will serve you for years and years.

COSAFA Men's Under-20 / Draw for TotalEnergies AFCON U20 Egypt 2023 | COSAFA Qualifier
Draw for TotalEnergies AFCON U20 Egypt 2023 | COSAFA Qualifier
Defending champions Mozambique have been drawn in Group B with Lusophone rivals Angola for the TotalEnergies AFCON U20 Egypt 2023 | COSAFA Qualifier that will be staged in Eswatini from October 6-16.
The competition will see the top two teams advance to the continental finals in Egypt from Feb. 18-Mar. 12, which in turn serves as a qualifier for the FIFA U-20 World Cup to be held in Indonesia later in 2023.
Also in Mozambique and Angola's pool are Seychelles and Lesotho, with only the top team in each group advancing to the semifinals along with the best-placed runner-up.
Hosts Eswatini headline Group A and will face a mighty challenge from record 11-time winners Zambia, as well as Botswana and Mauritius.
Group C contains Namibia, South Africa, Comoros and Malawi and is also likely to be a hotly contested pool.
The competition was due to be played in December 2021 but had to be postponed due to the outbreak of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.
Only five nations have won the COSAFA Under-20 Championships previously – Zambia (11 times), South Africa (8), Zimbabwe (6), Madagascar (1) and Mozambique (1). Zimbabwe cannot compete this year as they are still under suspension by FIFA.
The first time the regional competition was staged for Under-20 teams was in 1983 – 39 years ago – and was won by Zambia.

Mexican Scientist Sandra Pascoe Is Working to Create Biodegradable Plastic Bags Out of Nopales
Photo by Bloomberg Creative Photos / Getty
By Yara Simón | 4 months ago
As environmental issues become more prevalent, many are trying to find ways to reduce their carbon footprints. At the Universidad del Valle de Atemajac in Guadalajara, Sandra Pascoe has successfully used nopales to create biodegradable plastic.
It was a series of trial and error for Pascoe, who first started by taking small pieces of dry nopal, which she would then pulverize and mix with other ingredients. But it was too slow a process and she found that the material oxidized too quickly. Eventually, she eventually starting using the liquid inside the prickly pear and found success.
"Basically, the plastic is formed from the sugars of the liquid in the nopal," she told Efe, adding that the viscous consistency allows for a solid material to be produced.
The formula combines the liquid with glycerin, proteins, and dyes, which are then dried over metal plates so it can form a thin layer of plastic film.
With the support of the school's Ciencias Biológicas y Agropecuarias, she's in the process of learning more about this product, such as how the degradation process works and if the plastic is converted into bags, how much weight it could support. So far, they've seen proof that the nopal-based plastic could become bags.
Learn more about her work below.

FULL TIME: Germany triumph 3-0 after first half goals from Sane, Sule and the star man Gnabry. Thanks for following the game with us..
The Germans are just running down the clock now, all the work was done in the first half.
CLOSE! Its another corner. Kimmich's corner is flicked on by Muller into the path of Brandt whose low drive takes a deflection off Semenov and goes over. Germany get another corner, but the set-piece is cleared.
Its a corner to the hosts after Muller's cross is blocked.Its swung in but the Russians hack it away.
Brilliant work from sweeper-keeper Neuer who races out of his box to clear.
CLOSE! Brandt finds Goretzka, who plays in Schulz whose cross from the byline fizzes just behind Müller.
Nababkin is off for Andrey Semenov.
Goal scorer Sane trots is off for Leon Goretzka, the Man City winger has faded after a lively opening.

Kudryashov is on for Rausch as Cherchesov reverts back to a 4-4-1-1.
Youth is replaced by experience as the brilliant Gnabry makes way for Muller.
Its subs galore here, Kuzyaev makes way for Kambolov.
Hector is unable to play any further part in the match due to that challenge from behind by Erokhin and Schulz comes on.
The subs have definitely taken the string out of Germany's play, they are not as deadly as they were in the opening 45mins.
Sebastian Rudy come on for Werner. Hector remains off the field to get treatment from that earlier challenge.
Werner makes way for the talented Julian Brandt.
Erokhin is booked for a a crunching tackle on Hector from behind, which leaves the fullback in agony.
OOPS! Neuer spills Ionov's looping corner before smothering the ball at the second attempt.
Russia make another switch with Anton Miranchuk coming on for his twin brother Aleksey.
Rudiger makes way for Jonathan Tah.
The visitors have switched to a more attacking 3-5-2, with Miranchuk spearheading the attack with Zabolotny and they look more threatening.
This has been better from the Russians. They have a corner, its flicked on and Hector is there to clear the ball off the line!
Ari goes off for Anton Zabolotny.
Miranchuk wins a corner. Ionov's set-piece is flicked towards the goal but for a last-ditch clearance by Kehrer.
The visitors are back under the cosh again and have still to force Neuer into a save.
CLOSE! Normal service resumes as Havertz threads the ball through to Sane whose low shot is saved by Lunev, who has had a busy evening.
CLOSE! Kuzyaev finds Ionov who has only Neuer to beat but drags his effort wide from around 12 yards out.
No subs made from either side, but we can expect a string of changes later on.
KICK OFF: Germany get the second period underway.
HALF TIME: Germany have been rampant and lead 3-0 through goals from Sane, Sule and Gnabry.
Ugly scenes as plastic bottles and paper airplanes are thrown at Rausch as he prepares to take a corner, which comes to nothing.
GOAL FOR THE GERMANS! Gnabry with a deserved goal after a first-time strike from just iside the box from Havertz's pass..
Sane waltzes past two Russian defenders like he is on Strictly Come Dancing and puts in a cross for Gnabry at the back post. But Rausch does well to get there first and deal with the danger.
AMBITIOUS: Ari is around 30 yards out and takes a speculative effort at goal that flies into row Z.
Another Germany attack, this time Werner's cross from the right evades Gnabry. Seconds later Lunev goes down low to collect Kehrer's cross to avoid the incoming Gnabry.
CHANCE! Gnabry latches onto a loose ball and floats in a cross to Hector whose volley goes wide as he stretched for the ball.
This youthful Germany side look exciting having lost their last 2 games. Of course there is bigger fish to fry starting with Holland at home on Monday.
Rudiger did well to get his head on the ball into the path of Sule who slotted it home from close range.
GOAL FOR GERMANY! It was coming. Kimmich swings in a corner from the right, Rüdiger flicks it on and Süle is there for the tap in.
SANE MISS! Havertz with a good run and pinpoint cross for Sane whose header from 2 yards is straight at Lunev. Blimey, the City man could have had a hat-trick.
We have reached the midway point of the half and the Germans have been rampant. The latest move sees Kehrer trying to pick out Werner with a cross but the visitors clear the danger.
The visitors have a free-kick in the Germany half. Rausch - in the absence of Golovin -tries to swing it in for Neustadter and Dzhikiya but the ball is headed clear.
Werner bears down on goal and tries to square the ball to Sane but the pass is weak and the move breaks down. Relief for the Russians who were outpaced once again..
There have been some impressive last-ditch challenges from Neustadter and Dzhikiya to prevent the 2014 World Cup winners going further ahead.
CHANCE FOR RUSSIA! Sane fouls Ionov just outside the box, giving Russia a free-kick in a dangerous position. Rausch takes it and his curling shot flies over the bar.
WHAT A MISS! Gnaby finds Kehrer whose low cross is into the path of Sane who just fails to get a boot on it.
CHANCE! Kehrer with an ambitious effort from the box which he drags well wide of the far post.
The hosts have enjoyed 78% of the possession so far, its been a one-sided affair so far.
CHANCE! Werner with a header from the near post from 6 yards out but he gets it all wrong and it goes out for a corner. From the set piece, the Russians clear.
That was a nice ball from debutant Havertz to pick out Gnabry, who showed his electic pace before finding the Man City winger.
GOAL FOR GERMANY! Gnabry latches onto a deft through-ball from Ginter and squares it to Sane for the tap in.
The Russians are yet to settle and are camped deep in their half as they try to nullify the threat on the flanks.
Close call as Miranchuk's through ball finds debutant Ari but the forward is flagged off-side.
Good challenge from Neustädter who cuts out Havertz's ball towards Sane on the wing.
Bright start from Sane, Gnabry and Werner, who have plenty of pace to burn. Both sides are operating the high press so a few long balls have been fired in.
Low's side are going three at the back with Chelsea's Rudiger in for Hummels alongside Sule and Ginter. Hector replaces Schulz at left wing-back with Kehrer on the opposite flank and 19-year old Leverkusen prodigy Havertz making his debut.
KICK OFF: Anthems over, its get to get underway. Russia kick off.
Low's side, who suffered defeats to Holland and France in their last two outings, look to be lining up 3-4-3. Bayern's Kimmich is set to occupy a central midfield role with a young front three of Gnabry, Werner and Sane.
Russia, who face Sweden in the Nations League next, have won just one of their last six friendlies on the road. Germany clash with Holland in the Nations League on Monday.
Russia coach Stanislav Cherchesov played in goal for German club Dynamo Dresden between 1993 and 1995. And he went on to don the gloves for FC Tirol Innsbruck in Austria, where his coach was Joachim Löw in the 2001/02 season.
RUSSIA XI: Lunev, Nababkin, Neustädter, Dzhikiya, Rausch, Gazinski (c), Kuzyaev, Ionov, A. Miranchuk, Erokhin, Ari.
Mario Fernandes, Aleksandr Golovin and Denis Cheryshev are all out through injury.
GERMANY XI: Neuer, Kehrer, Hector, GInter, Werner, Sule, Rudiger, Kimmich, Sane, Gnabry, Havertz.
In-form Marco Reus is out due to a foot injury while Toni Kroos is rested and ter Stegen has a shoulder problem.

Florist closes shop after 4 decades - My Citizens News
He expanded into meat a few years later, and in 1984 he purchased the building with help from his parents and a real estate partner. He tried to start up other grocery franchises, one in Ansonia, one in Bridgeport, but they didn't last more than a few months. Raimo retrenched to Naugatuck."I still had my baby," as he called the Rubber Avenue store.On the last day at the flower stand, Raimo was quiet. He punctuated long silences with stories about his life and his business, jumping back and forth across decades. He started bagging groceries in his dad's store when he was 7. He learned to cut meat in his uncle's Waterbury market, Antonelli's. When he had his own store, he liked to group flowers by color."The colors pop more that way," he explained, chopping his arms out in front of him like barriers between the colors.When a customer ambled up, Raimo perked up like a geranium after a good watering. His voice got louder and stronger as he called out a "Hi, how are you?" across the parking lot. He cracked jokes, giving some a hard time for planting flowers so late in the spring. If the customers came in couples, he liked to ask, "Who plants them, you or him?" He made everyone who bought a tomato plant promise to bring him a tomato. As one couple drove away, he sighed audibly and said, "It's people like them."A friend said to Raimo once, "First time a customer, second time a friend." Raimo took this to heart. He said he has gone to weddings, confirmations, bar mitzvahs, and funerals of the people he calls "customers slash friends," and has gotten to know three generations in Naugatuck."I do love this town, and I love the people," he said.Teenagers used to come to Raimo, looking for summer jobs."I used to have a waiting list of kids that wanted to work from the high school," he said.Some of the former "help," as he calls his employees, went on to become doctors and lawyers."Some of them didn't turn out good," he said, chuckling. "I love them all anyway."He said he could tell who was going to do well by watching them work as teenagers.If he had to guess, Raimo said a couple hundred local teens had been in his employ at one point or another, including his own four children, now grown. One son, Eddie Raimo, was with him on the last day, doling out advice on how to make marigolds flower, how to revive sickly tomatoes, selling six-packs of habanero peppers, and loading flats of fragrant basil into cars.The elder Raimo cut deals to sell off the last of his plants. He gave away a few tomato plants to customers he knew, and to a few he didn't know. He folded bills in half, and slid them into the breast pocket of his tan palm-printed shirt, halfway unbuttoned in the June heat.When the customers were gone, and it was just Raimo, his son, and Josie the German shepherd lying at his feet, Raimo got quiet again."I'm going to really, really miss seeing all these faces," he said.He sighed again and looked around."This stand cost me two marriages. I spent so many hours here —14, 16 hours a day," he said.On the last day, Raimo didn't bring a credit card reader to the stand. Cash only. He told one woman who came with just a credit card to just take the marigolds and impatiens she had picked out. Come back to pay him later. She was back in less than 10 minutes with the $6 she owed."I did that with so many people, and they always come back. I never got beat, ever," he said. "...

Winston Flowers Acquires L'Olivier Floral Atelier - PerishableNews
New York City.The acquisition of L'Olivier marks a new chapter for Winston Flowers following its expansion from Boston to Greenwich, Connecticut in 2012, and most recently, New York City. The 2018 opening of a 12,000-square-foot NYC design studio represented a major evolution for the company—three generations in the making—from the company's founding as a floral pushcart in 1944 by Robert Winston and his son, Maynard. Today the company is led by brothers David and Ted Winston, who have stewarded the company through this strategic evolution while continuing to honor its New England roots."This is an exciting time for Winston Flowers," said Ted Winston. "Since expanding into New York City last year, it's been invigorating to watch our business grow and evolve in new ways. We are delighted to share the stunning work of Olivier Guigni and his talented team with a new roster of clients. It's a thrill to begin servicing marquee spaces such as Daniel Boulud restaurants, The Plaza Hotel, and The Carlyle Hotel, as well as many high-profile residential clients."David Winston said, "L'Olivier and Winston Flowers share an abiding passion for innovative design, unrivaled service, and a deep commitment to our clients.

St. which is an office building with multiple businesses. The other one at 26 Church St. is a beauty salon. Neither of them affiliated with a flower shop.We called both businesses who told NBC Connecticut Responds that they are located in Hamden.The man who answered the phone at the flower shop listed at 175 Church St. claimed that was the wrong website address and he needed to change it.NBC Connecticut Responds also with a woman whose shop was listed at 26 Church St. She said they closed the location to do building work.Lora Rae Anderson with the Department of Consumer Protection says buyers should beware:"Make sure you go right to that company's website, call their number, and check out their email and contact them based on that information. Instead of the information that you see pop up Google," Anderson said.Anderson said if there are too many options and you're not sure whether the storefront is real or fake, ask around."You can usually pretty quickly figure out who's legitimate and who's not," said Anderson.The Society of American Florist told NBC Connecticut Responds:"There is an issue of deceptive listings where companies list themselves under a variety of fictitious florist names with a local phone number."Here's what people should keep in mind when buying flowers:-Don't wait until the last minute, especially around holidays like Mother's day.-If you do go the online route, see if the flowers come from a central warehouse or if the company contracts with a local florist.-Have reasonable expectations. The bouquet probably won't look exactly like the one in the photo, but it should be pretty close.-If it's not, let the company know. Many florists will offer to replace it free of charge. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Cyber-Florists-Do-You-know-Where-Your-Delivery-Is-Coming-From-509714221.html

Please allow 48 hours for reservations to be approved. If you need to schedule something in less than 48 hours please contact Office of Reservations.
How will I know when a room is having maintenance done?
Facilities Management uses 25Live to block off any spaces on campus that are having service done to them. These times are documented within 25Live.
Will we be required to have our events in 25Live by a certain date?
Yes, academic scheduling will be first priority. After academic departments have scheduled courses we will open scheduling to the rest of campus. May 1st is the deadline for academic departments to make reservations for the Fall Semester.
What is the proper procedure for scheduling classes?
Academic departments will continue to schedule classrooms on E-Hive when they build class schedules. When academic departments are in lockout mode, classroom changes or additional scheduling of courses go through the Registrar's Office. If you wish to suggest a specific classroom change, please use 25Live to search for available classrooms instead of E-Hive. 25Live is the most accurate way to search room availability.
I was unable to make the training. Where do I go to learn about 25Live?
View the 25Live Training Video.
If you need further assistance please contact Office of Reservations.
Where do I go to login to 25Live?
25Live is also accessible via the Campus Logins Page, the Office of Reservations page, and in the UW-Superior Mobile App.
What are the guidelines for reserving a conference room?
All conference rooms, with the exception of the Yellowjacket Union conference rooms, do not require approval from the Conference and Events Manager. Express Scheduling is available on the 25Live Mobile version.
View Conference Room Guidelines and Scheduling Procedures.
Do we still need to contact Chartwell's, SSC, and Campus Safety for events?
Services such as SSC custodial and Chartwell's still need to be contacted for catering and custodial needs. If your event requires Campus Safety Office to unlock a building or for security needs, please complete the Building Onlock Request Form.
Where do I go to schedule conference rooms?
Public Outlook Conference Room calendars will no longer be used to reserve conference rooms, effective 2/1/18. Please make sure if you have meetings scheduled in these conference rooms that you are entering them in 25Live.
All computer lab requests need to be done in 25Live.

Elections Confidential
How Shady Operators Used Sham Non-profits and Fake Corporations to Funnel Mystery Money into the 2012 Elections
The first post-Citizens United presidential election cycle was bought and paid for by a handful of wealthy donors, but the corrosive influence of money in politics was amplified by the fact that we don't know who – or what – actually provided much of the funding.
USP Elections Report Jan13 1 3_0
PIRGIM Education Fund
"Elections Confidential" describes how secret donors poured hundreds of millions into the 2012 election through "social welfare" non-profits that are really political vehicles and via shell corporations formed as conduits to hide a funder's identity.
Despite widespread public support for disclosure and decades of legal precedent supporting the public's right to know the sources of election-related spending, voters were bombarded with messages from secretly-funded, innocuously-named "dark money" nonprofits that do not disclose their funding sources. Even those groups that do disclose their donors received millions from fake corporations that covered the money trail.
– Shell corporations that do not disclose the sources of their funding funneled at least $17 million to Super PACs in the 2012 elections.
– Nearly seventeen percent of all business contributions to Super PACs came from identified shell corporations.
– Dark money nonprofits reported spending over $299 million in the 2012 election; however, because these groups ran "issue ads" that need only be reported when aired just before primaries or election day, the total spending by these nonprofits is certainly much higher than was reported to the FEC. Crossroads GPS, for example, told the FEC that it spent just under $71 million in the 2012 election cycle, but it actually spent more than twice as much as was reported, topping at least $165 million.
– Dark money nonprofits, which are not supposed to have electoral intervention as a primary activity, will justify their tax-exempt status in the post-election period by engaging in activities like lobbying. Incredibly, this qualifies as advancing the "social welfare."
– A dark money group's lobbying clout is amplified by the fact that, come election time, they can back an uncooperative lawmaker's primary challenger.
– With both "dark money" nonprofits and shell corporations, it is almost impossible to identify violations of election or tax law, such as the infiltration of foreign funds.

You would never understand why I smile.
You would never know why I ignore the hateful things said about me, or my people.
I have joy within me that you could never tear down.

5 Signs It's Time For Your Parents To Stop Living Alone
By Sarah Klein

Considering moving an aging parent to a care facility isn't pleasant for anyone involved. You wish you could be there every second to take care of their needs. They don't want to leave the home they love.
In some cases, the adult child-aging parent dynamic can become so trying, you're not even totally aware of what you're witnessing. "It's not that adult children don't recognize signs of aging in their parents, it's that they don't want to," says Carla Sutter, operations director of Synergy HomeCare. "They might let little things slide that don't seem like a big deal. Unfortunately, that's when crises happen." The earlier you accept mom or dad's decline, the sooner you can discuss your concerns with them and set up the services that can help avoid disaster, she says.
So what should you look for when you really, really don't want to acknowledge what's going on? Here are some of the signs to watch for:

Chances are mom's not going to admit to tripping on the living room carpet or falling on the stairs. "Seniors will rarely self-disclose because they have a fear they will immediately be rushed to the dreaded nursing home," Sutter says. Instead, do your detective work. Bruising may be a sign of falls mom isn't telling you about. Same goes for rearranged furniture. "Maybe a vase mom always loved isn't on display anymore, and she says she knocked it off the table," Sutter says. That could be pride covering up the fact that she knocked it off when she fell.
With older couples, falls can put extra strain on smaller folks even if they're the sturdy ones, says Bina Colman, a geriatric care manager with the personal healthcare assistance company Wellthy. "Men are usually the bigger of the two, and a wife may not be able to pick up a larger man," she says. "They really should not be home alone." At the very least, she says, installing medical bars throughout the home can help limit fall risk.

You catch a glimpse of mom's prescription bottle on the counter—and it looks awfully full. "If it was prescribed 30 days ago and there are still 24 pills left, she's not taking her medicine correctly," Sutter says. Whether it's because she's made a choice or forgotten, her health could be at risk. "Misuse of medication is one of the key factors for people ending up in the hospital," she says. Find a way to tactfully ask what's happening in the medication department. It's possible the solution is as simple as picking up a pill organizer for her, Colman says, but a caregiver in the home or in a facility may be better equipped to ensure medication safety.
(No one wants to feel their age—or even older. Prevention's new Younger In 8 Weeks plan provides a holistic, step-by-step guide to reversing the effects of aging at the cellular level, so that everything from your hair to your heart to your hips looks and feels younger, stronger, fresher, and healthier.)
Difficulty driving

This is another instance in which mom or dad is unlikely to 'fess up immediately. "The car is the last bastion of independence," Sutter says. "It's the hardest thing to talk to people about." Mom might admit she's started having more trouble with directions, or you might notice she's not attending events that used to be regular fixtures on her social calendar, saying she'll only go when a friend will drive her. But there could be tangible signs on the car itself. "Check for more dents on the car, or damage to the side mirror from getting too close to the edge of the garage door, for example," Sutter says. (Here's how to convince your parents that it's time they stop driving.)
Keep in mind the big-picture effects this aversion to driving might have, Colman says. Aging parents who aren't telling you they're no longer comfortable being the wheel could be forgoing important places they used to drive to, like the grocery store or doctor appointments.

A change in appearance

Little details may be some of the first signals home life isn't as safe as it once was. "One of the first signs of a friend's mother's dementia was that she came to one of her grandchildren's events in soiled clothing," Sutter says. "My friend knew her mom would never have shown up in that way previously. It was probably about 5 years before she was diagnosed with dementia, but it was a small tip-off." Other appearance changes might include a new hairstyle, weight loss, or wearing the same clothes several days in a row. You'll need your detective hat again: These breaks in the routine are not always due to an aging parent's forgetting to shower, go to the salon, or eat. "It could be depression, it could be that they're afraid to drive and can't access the beauty shop or grocery store," Sutter says.
Abnormal forgetfulness

Everyone has minor slip-ups. Experts are less worried about how often someone forgets where they put their keys than they are about the person who finds the keys and forgets what they're used for, Sutter says. When you're considering whether or not it's safe for a forgetful parent to stay at home, look for memory mishaps that are well outside the range of normal, like calling to check in to see how you've been when you visited yesterday, planning a family dinner but forgetting to cook the main dish, or wandering around the neighborhood, unsure of which driveway is home.

What to do if these signs seem familiar...

Talk with your parent calmly about your concerns, Colman says. Reiterate that you are suggesting a new living situation because you love them and care about their health and safety. Make sure you've done your research before suggesting any particular facilities, she adds. Factor in cost, location, and activities offered there. Double-check that insurance can help and that a facility is the least invasive and restrictive option that fits your budget, Sutter says.

Library members handed clean slate as fines scrapped
Updated / Wednesday, 2 Jan 2019 19:28
The typical charge for books that are overdue was five cent per day
Library fines have become a thing of the past under a strategy aimed at increasing the number of library members.
The change, which came into effect on New Year's Day, means that all charges on library members accounts have been removed.
It is part of a public library strategy which aims to almost double active library membership by the end of 2022.
The typical charge for books that are overdue was five cent per day.
The strategy said fines have been shown to have a detrimental effect on library use by children and the disadvantaged.
There is also little evidence that they ensure timely returns, but rather may actually dissuade members and users from returning overdue items, according to the Our Public Library 2022 strategy.
Under the new regime, members will continue to receive reminds and emails to prompt them to return or renew overdue items.
If items are not returned before a third reminder is issued, then the member's library card will be blocked and they will not be able to take out or renew further items until the issue is resolved.
Minister Michael Ring, whose brief includes Community Development, has welcomed the change, saying "the elimination of library fines will help remove a significant barrier to library usage."

Ramułt (Ramult, Stoice) − polski herb szlachecki.

Opis herbu

Opis współczesny
Opis herbu z wykorzystaniem zasad blazonowania, zaproponowanych przez Alfreda Znamierowskiego:

W polu czerwonym pięć róż srebrnych (2, 1, 2).

Klejnot − ogon pawi.

Labry czerwone, podbite srebrem.

Opisy historyczne
Bartosz Paprocki w Gnieździe cnoty opisuje herb następująco:

U Kaspra Niesieckiego pojawił się dodatkowo opis klejnotu:

Historia

Najwcześniejsze wzmianki
Herb po raz pierwszy pojawił się w XVI wieku. Pierwsza przedstawienie herbu pochodzi z Panoszy Bartosza Paprockiego (1575), kolejne pochodziły z Gniazda cnoty (1578) i Herbów rycerstwa polskiego (1584) tego samego autora oraz Kroniki polskiej Marcina Bielskiego (1585).

Przedstawienia herbu na przestrzeni wieków
Ponieważ Ramułt to stosunkowo młody herb, przekazy historyczne są dość spójne jeśli chodzi o kształt herbu. Paprocki w Panoszy i Gnieździe cnoty przedstawił wprawdzie tylko samo godło, ale w innych pracach dał pełny rysunek. U Marcina Bielskiego również herb jest w wersji pełnej. Kolejni autorzy, aż po czasy współczesne, przytaczali wizerunek XVI-wieczny.

Legenda herbowa
Według legendy przytaczanej przez Paprockiego i Niesieckiego, herb ten miał przynieść do Polski Baldwin, biskup kruszwicki, pochodzący z Francji, który objął biskupstwo w 1128 roku.

Etymologia
Obie nazwy nierozpoznane.

Herbowni
Lista sporządzona została na podstawie wiarygodnych źródeł, zwłaszcza klasycznych i współczesnych herbarzy. Zwraczamy jednak uwagę na częste zjawisko przypisywania rodom szlacheckim niewłaściwych herbów, szczególnie nasilone w czasie legitymacji szlachectwa przed zaborczymi heroldiami, co zostało następnie utrwalone w wydawanych kolejno herbarzach. Podkreślamy także, że identyczność nazwiska nie musi oznaczać przynależności do danego rodu herbowego. Przynależność taką mogą bezspornie ustalić wyłącznie badania genealogiczne.

Lista nazwisk znajdująca się w artykule pochodzi z Herbarza polskiego Tadeusza Gajla:

Bąbek, Bombek, Czelatycki, Czermieński, Czermiński, Kosienie, Krzecieski, Krzęciewski, Łagiewnicki, Łążyński, Łosiński, Łośmiński, Mlekicki, Penski, Pęski, Pierściński, Pierzciński, Pierzyński, Ramułt (Ramult, Ramuld), Wiśniewski, Wytręba, Zabłocki.

Peel Police Disappointed at Complaints Against its Amber Alert System
by Usman Qureshi – Fri, February 15, 2019
According to a report by Global News, the Peel Regional Police used its emergency Amber Alert system on Thursday at 11:36 p.m for a missing 11-year-old girl named Riya Rajkumar, who was later found deceased in Brampton, hours after a parental abduction investigation was launched into the girl's disappearance.
While the officials said the alert system worked exactly as intended, they noted that the police received "numerous calls" complaining about the late hour of the Amber Alert.
Peel police media relations officer Const. Akhil Mooken, also shared her disappointment on Twitter over people's complaints that the cellphone notifications either woke them up or disturbed them. "I appreciate that a lot of people were sleeping but the immediate need to locate the child outweighed the momentary inconvenience that some people encountered", she wrote.
the child outweighed the momentary inconvenience that some people encountered. Tragically this incident did not have the outcome we were all hoping for but the suspect was located as a direct result of a citizen receiving the alert and calling 9-1-1. The system works. 2/2
— Cst. Akhil Mooken (@OfficerMooken)
The girl was out with her father for her birthday and was supposed to be dropped off with her mother at a predetermined time but never came home. The victim's mother contacted the police and told them he was going to harm himself and her daughter.
The girl was later located deceased at a residence in Brampton, while her father Roopesh Rajkumar, was arrested in Oro-Medonte, Ont., north of Toronto.
The Amber Alert was subsequently called off at 12:21 a.m. Friday.

Saving money is hard, especially when your fresh out of school *cough, cough* or a decade out of school *cough, cough*. Not only are you probably stuck 'paying your dues' with an entry-level job but being a grown up is quite honestly just plain expensive. The list of things you need to be paying on a monthly basis alone canquickly tally up and consume almost all of that entry-level salary.
Saving money though isn't about simply putting cash into your piggy bank and calling it a day. Saving appropriately involves a whole slew of other factors, that unless you were a finance major in college you may not have exposure to. However, not having exposure to these things is not a good excuse for not saving. It's highly important that you start saving money for not just retirement but also for unforeseen circumstance and 'treat yo self' emergencies, because let's face it avocado toast and Kendra Scott are not going to pay for themselves.
There are plenty of ways to actually start saving some of your hard-earned cash and most of them can be in small ways. While everyone's situation is slightly difference, there are tons of small ways to start saving some money. Enter what we call a 401K.
So what exactly is a 401(k)? According to Investopedia, "A 401(k) plan is a qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan that eligible employees may make salary-deferral contributions to on a post-tax and/or pretax basis. Employers offering a 401(k) plan may make matching or non-elective contributions to the plan on behalf of eligible employees and may also add a profit-sharing feature to the plan. Earnings in a 401(k) plan accrue on a tax-deferred basis.
That all made total sense right?
In a nutshell, a 401(k) is offered by employers to help employees (YOU!) save for retirement. Meaning once you get paid whatever amount you have deemed going to your 401(k) account, will but automatically withdrawn from you paycheck and put into your retirement account. While not all companies offer these as a benefit, most who do offer it will also generally match what you put into the account up to a certain percent. There are different ways companies can match what you invest into a 401(k) as well. One of the more common ways are by doing a dollar for dollar match or a 50 cent's to dollar match up to a certain amount, of course.
So let's take the dollar for dollar example for a spin. Say I make $1,000 per pay period before tax and I elect to have 5% put into my 401(k). Pretax, 5% of $1,000 is $50 dollars a pay period that is automatically being placed into a savings account. Now with this example say my company offers a 2% match. Since I've obviously investing more than 2%, I'm not just putting $50 a pay period into savings, I'm actually putting $70 per pay period away (50 + 20 = 70). Which might not seem lot a whole lot but if you consider you get paid bi-weekly, there are 26 pay periods in a year, and you do this for say 30 years at the same rate; you've actual saved $54,600 without even considering any interest you might have been accrued in those 30 years. That's $5 a day that your saving and roughly an additional $2 per day that your company is paying you, just because you've decided to save for your retirement. That's sounds like 'free money' to me.
Now I know that not all companies view their employee's retirement as a priority so your company may only match you 1% or not even offer a 401(k) but I have also seen companies offer up to 10% dollar for dollar which is amazing, and something you really need to take into consideration when viewing job offers.
I know this all sounds pretty awesome, so what's the caveat to these savings accounts, huh? Well I'm glad you asked, because while they may not have 'bad limitations' per say there are things you need to consider in order to make sure you're contributing the right amount for you.
Not all 401(k) plans are created equal. There are actually two types of 401(k) plans: a Roth 401(k) and a tradition 401(k). In a traditional plan, money is withdrawn from your pay pre-tax and is subject to the regular income tax rate at the time of retirement withdrawal, whatever that rate may be at the time. They also face an additional 10% tax penalty if cashed out before the age of retirement. A Roth plan on the other hand taxes your paycheck first and then withdraws the percentage you elected to have saved and unlike a traditional 401(k) they are not taxed at the time of withdrawal.
They are not considered to be liquidable assets or funds that you can quickly cash any time, say for an emergency. The age of retirement is considered to be at 59 and a half years of age. Meaning that when you withdraw from your 401(k) prior to turning 59.5 years old, your withdrawal will be subjected to an additional penalty tax which is usually around 10%, aka the government takes more of your cash. For example if you take out $10,000 for a down payment on a house at the age of 35, $1,000 of that is going straight to penalty taxes plus whatever the going tax rate is for the initial withdrawal. So unless you're in absolutely desperate, it's probably not a smart choice to withdraw money before the retirement age.
In essence 401(k) plans are just savings accounts you can't touch (until 59.5 years old). Usually they're hosted with a company that actually offers you plenty of options to invest that money further. The options depend on the employer and the company managing the fund of course, but most often include a diverse array of 10 – 20 investment funds covering a wide range of low and high risk stocks. While most plans will automatically invest your funds into certain stocks, you do have the opportunity to pick your own funds available through said company. If you choose to pick your own funds you need to make sure to do enough research to make an educated decision, or you could end up hurting your future investments.
You have to be eligible for a 401(k). This simply means that most companies require you be a full time employee and to have a certain amount of tenure at that company before you even get the option to sign up for a 401(k). Some companies might offer you eligabliity right when you start working, but more often than not you'll have to wait a minmiumn of 6 months to a year to become eligibale.
Never assume you're automatically enrolled into a 401(k). For the most part your company will not automatically sign you up for a 401(k). They may say your eligible and send you a bunch of write ups on what the requirements and benefits are of the a 401(k) but it is up to you to make sure you sign up and start investing! Never assume you're just enrolled, it's always best practice to double check.
Overall, 401(k)s are a great way to help save for your dream retirement. I'm talking a year long cruise baby! But you do need to be realistic and aware when it comes to these plans. You need to make sure you understand the plan being offered by your company and if you don't you can generally contact the company hosting your 401(k) plan or even contact HR in your company to get someone to walk you through the basics. I know it can seem daunting at times and that even $50 a pay period can seem like a tonnn of money, but a 401(k) is all about investing in your future. If $50 a pay period is to much, try starting with a smaller amount and boasting the amount up just a smig each time you get a pay increase. Anyting is better than nothing. And to be quite honest, if you're not investing in yourself, your lacking a basic method of self-care, which is planning for you future.


This is an illusion. In all but the most superficial respects, corporations and labor unions are virtually identical to each other. They are both voluntary associations formed by individuals to achieve an economic goal. They would both provide enormous economic benefits to society if they were not completely corrupted by government.
A corporation is a group of people agreeing to pool their capital to create a larger venture than any of them could launch individually. The stockholders agree that none of their personal assets will be put at risk if the venture fails – only the assets of the corporation.
The stockholders also make these terms with the corporation's creditors, customers, and other parties. In this way, the stockholders can cooperatively take more risk than they would if their personal assets were at stake. With greater risk comes greater reward. Thus corporations are able to innovate, produce, and expand more rapidly than smaller partnerships or sole-owner proprietorships. This benefits consumers by offering them more choice and higher quality products at lower prices.
The benefits of corporations are derived from the voluntary nature of every transaction. The stockholders, creditors, and customers all consent to doing business with the corporation, knowing the risks and the limited liability of the stockholders. All parties are exercising a natural right to associate and exchange their property as they see fit. One can never harm another merely by exercising one's natural rights.
The prospect of the corporation becoming "too large" or dominant in a particular industry is countered by the equal right of all other members of society to form their own corporations and compete with the dominant one. In fact, it is this natural market occurrence – new competitors entering the market when there is an opportunity to offer consumers the same or better products at lower prices – that drives explosive innovation and growth and confers enormous benefits on the rest of society.
The government corrupts the entire nature of corporations in virtually every way. First, it grants the corporation limited liability that applies not only to those who have consented to it, but to everyone. This completely skews a natural risk/reward balance and enables the corporation to commit torts against third parties without consequences to the stockholders. It overrides the right of individuals who did not voluntarily release the corporation from liability to pursue compensation for damages. It also has the effect of encouraging corporations to take more risk than they would if the stockholders' personal assets were at risk with respect to these third parties.
Second, the enormous body of regulations constructed around corporations harms both the stockholders and the rest of society. The stockholders have the right to form and operate their corporation any way they see fit, as long as they do not invade the life or property of non-contracted parties. Regulations override their decisions and force them to operate the way the government tells them to, regardless of whether it is the best way or not. This adds tremendous costs to operating the corporation, which is then passed on to consumers.
Thanks to the corrupting hand of government, corporations are motivated to do exactly the opposite of what they would do if that artificial force were absent. Instead of trying to produce better products at lower prices, the corporation has an incentive to lobby the government for higher tariffs which keep out foreign competition. This allows them to keep operating inefficiently and charging higher prices than they could if they had to compete with the true market prices offered by those competing firms.
They also benefit by lobbying for more regulations that drive up their own operating costs. Why would they do something so illogical? They do it because those higher costs provide an entry barrier to new competitors. The established firm can pass those higher costs on to consumers, while the new competitor is either unable to start-up at all or unable to compete until it can match the established firms' economies of scale. In the long run, government involvement with corporations results in lower quality, higher prices, and less choice for consumers than would occur in a free market.
The dynamics at play in regard to labor unions are virtually identical. Just like the stockholders of a corporation, the members of a labor union are exercising a natural right to enter into agreements with each other in order to achieve results that they would not be able to achieve individually. They form a partnership wherein all members agree not to accept compensation below a certain agreed upon amount. Compensation can take the form of any combination of wages, benefits, or working conditions.
It is important to recognize that the relationship between employee and employer is a buyer/seller relationship, with the employer being the buyer who purchases services from the employee. Like all buyer/seller relationships, both parties benefit when the transaction is voluntary. The seller benefits by getting the very highest price for his product that the market will bear. The buyer benefits by getting the highest quality product that he is able to obtain for the money he is willing and able to spend. If either party in any buyer/seller transaction does not believe that he is benefitting from the transaction, he can refuse to go through with it.
In the case of labor unions and employers, the union members benefit by higher compensation for their services. By bargaining collectively, they can control the supply of a particular type of labor demanded by employers and thus drive up the price. However, the employers actually benefit as well. As they are free to choose to hire people outside the union, the union must ensure that their product (labor) is superior enough in quality to persuade the employer to pay more for union employees than for cheaper, non-union employees. Such are the incentives in a free market, where all transactions are voluntary.
Under these conditions, labor unions would have an incentive to offer continuing education or training courses, to monitor the productivity of their members, to set minimum standards for entry into the union and to establish criteria for expelling non-productive employees. All of this would drive up quality, productivity, and profitability, further encouraging employers to pay more for union employees as a wise investment in more profitable products.
As with corporations, the benefits conferred upon society by labor unions depends upon contracts being enforced and all transactions between parties being voluntary. However, just as it does with corporations, government completely corrupts the nature of labor unions, eliminating many of the benefits they would otherwise provide. With interventions like the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 and subsequent legislation, the government destroys the voluntary nature of the employment contract, in many cases forcing employers to hire union workers. This violates the rights of employers to purchase services from whomever they wish and eliminates competition for the labor unions, encouraging them to behave in a manner completely contrary to how they would behave in a free market.
Instead of encouraging their members to be more productive, labor unions actually encourage lower productivity from their members. It is not uncommon for a union member to be threatened by his coworkers for working too fast or being too productive and skewing the lower expectations negotiated by the union in the interest of employing more dues-paying members to accomplish the same work. Instead of setting higher standards for entry into the union, the union actually forces new employees to join as a condition of taking the job.
Finally, with competition from non-union employees eliminated, the union has no incentive to control the price they are charging for their services. In a free market, there would be a price point at which the presumably lower-skilled non-union workers would be a more profitable buy for employers than the presumably higher-skilled union workers. However, once the government removes the ability of the employer to make this choice, there is no longer any control on the price of union labor. This is why unions played such a large role in the demise of the American auto industry and American manufacturing in general.
Despite the unnatural, corruptive influence of government, corporations and labor unions still manage to provide many benefits to society. Often overlooked is that all of the benefits they provide derive from the extent to which they are voluntary associations entering into consensual agreements with other parties. Conversely, all of the harm they cause and all of the animosity they and their supporters have for each other are the result of the coercive interference of government.
Instead of appealing to the government to assist them in invading each other's rights, they should recognize that the government is their common enemy, preventing each from benefitting themselves and each other. If they wish to secure their rights and achieve positive results for themselves and society, they should kick the government out of their affairs and follow the law of nature.

Ambivalent. I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Thanks for your insights about corporations and liability. It's something I've been puzzling on for awhile.
However, if "The stockholders have the right to form and operate their corporation anyway that they see fit, as long as they do not invade the life or property of non-contracted parties"… then what about things that are are arguably essential for our well-being, but could be considered "communal" property, or, in another perspective, *nobody's* property? Examples: the air we breathe, rivers/streams/aquifers, the ocean, wildlife, forests, the EM spectrum, the ozone layer. There are likely to be some areas of strongly differing interpretation of what constitutes 'invasion of life or property' when property ownership isn't evident, and when the effects on 'life' are indirect, hard to measure, or evident only in long, perhaps multi-generational, time frames.
Great question. The best answer is given by the Austrian economists, which is that all property should be privately owned. They actually cite that as the answer to corporate pollution. When there is an identifiable victim to a tort, then that party should be able to take the corporation (and its stockholders) to court to sue for damages. When property is "communally owned," or "owned by everyone," the water gets muddy, because even the stockholders of the corporation should have a say, as they are one of the owners of the property. They can then argue that the benefits of their production outweighed the harm caused by their pollution. The government could go a long way to solving the environmental issue by selling off the vast landholdings that it has, which it has no right to acquire anyway. They could pay the national debt and also force corporations to deal with private property owners in every transacton.
In the fast-moving and modern world of hi-tech, unions are rare to nonexistent. I've worked for internet/computer companies for 20 years and never heard of a union in my field nor any real desire for unionization.
But there are many professional associations, training/certification programs, and staffing agencies that perform the functions you suggest unions ought to. In fact, many employers will foot the bill for your training and pay your association dues. But they do everything they can to discourage group bargaining for working conditions, hours, or other employment terms, often forbidding by policy anything that might vary from individual negotiation. And if you have a grievance, you can file a grievance with Human Resources (that is, tell the employer you have a complaint about them!!??) or lawyer-up (thereby getting blacklisted from other potential employers).
An individual seller of labor typically has little negotiating strength with a corporate (joint strength of all shareholders) buyer of labor, and a great deal more to lose. So a union could actually be a good thing, if it worked as you describe.
Interesting perspective on both labor unions and corporations. I had to track down this article as I keep finding excerpts quoted (without attribution) and done is such a way that it is misleading.
I find a couple areas of disagreement with this article however.
First, the assertion that corporations can commit torts without consequence is patently false. Not only are corporations regularly held financially liable for wrongful acts be they negligence or intentional. It is also the case that, when warranted, the employees who act wrongfully are also held accountable.
Secondly while it is a fair point that regulations upon an industry pose a barrier to entry that seldom rises to the level as suggested that new entrants to the market cannot displace the old and entrenched. That so far has proven in nearly every industry there is. Once considered the 800 pound gorilla of retail Sears has all but disappeared and Walmart today feels threatened by Amazon. Six of the ten highest valued corporations in existence today did not even exist 40 years ago. Despite government's best efforts – competition is alive and well.


Last month I attended the Cal Poly graduation for my granddaughter. The content coming from the speakers at graduation left us with the same feeling that Fox News reported. There were 11 in our party and everybody had the same feeling: Cal Poly wants more browns and blacks than whites. Another granddaughter has been accepted there and may change her mind.

Many of you have asked, and likely many more have wondered why I chose an upside-down cross for the Unentitled logo. While you may think it is simply for shock appeal, it carries a far deeper meaning to the underlying message of this blog. It is true that the symbol has been stolen by Satanists as a sacrilegious display of their anti-Christian sentiments. That is not, however, the origin of this jarring visual. The inverted cross – also called the Cross of St. Peter – was iconized in one of the most humble deaths recorded in the New Testament era, second to that of Jesus himself. Peter was brought from being one of Jesus' most entitled disciples to a radically unentitled posture culminating in his death on an upside-down cross.
More sermons have been preached about Peter than almost every other disciple. Perhaps it is because he is considered to be the most "human" of all the disciples, his foibles and follies all too familiar to our fleshly tendencies. Or maybe it is because Jesus referred to Peter as the rock upon which He would build His Church. Regardless, Peter demonstrated an honest and passionate desire to follow and serve the Lord boldly, albeit imperfectly.
Peter, like most of the other disciples, mistakenly assumed that Jesus was a king who would reign and rule in an earthly kingdom rather than a King who would die to initiate a heavenly kingdom. In fact, Peter was so appalled when Jesus told them He was going to die that he was the one who exclaimed "Far be it from you, Lord. This shall never happen to you!" (Matt 16:22) You can certainly bet he was one of the disciples who – on three different occasions – were debating who was the greatest among them (Matt 9:46-48, 20:20-28 and Luke 22:24). It is clear that Peter and the other disciples associated their allegiance to Jesus to a greatness of rank, dignity, importance and status – thus completely misunderstanding the true nature of Jesus' power and authority.
In one occasion, Jesus hinted at Peter's future martyrdom by saying "'Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.' (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.)" And what was Peter's response to this? Rather than being humbled by such a declaration from his Lord, he immediately turned and "saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them" and asked Jesus "Lord, what about this man?" Peter's first response was to compare the "glory" of his fate with that of the disciple perceived to be particularly favored and loved by Jesus.
Have you ever had God call your bluff?
Jesus called Peter's bluff the moment Peter felt most sure of himself. "Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." But Peter's response is adamant – "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!" (Matt 26:35) After denying Jesus for the third time, you can easily imagine how grieved Peter must have been as he went out and wept bitterly. However, what we don't often consider is how Peter must also have been wondering "What now?" He had just spent the last three years following his Lord only to deny Him at this most critical juncture. At that moment, Peter was left with neither confidence in his own faith nor conviction in the object of his faith – both of which he had so fervently boasted up to this point.
Even after the resurrected Jesus appeared to the disciples in the Upper Room, Peter does not linger around to celebrate with the rest of them. Think of how estranged and ashamed he must have felt around the other disciples, knowing that he was the one who had denied their Lord, the one who had failed the test of faithful devotion. Recall that the response Judas had to betraying Jesus was to commit suicide rather than live with that kind of infamy. Instead of considering the gravity of Jesus' resurrection and what kind of impact that would have on his future, Peter swiftly went back to the occupation he had before he began following Jesus.
Fast forward a few days later and we find Peter with a few disciples out in a boat, fishing, when they see a figure on the shoreline. The moment they realize it is their beloved Lord, Peter jumps off of the boat and swims to shore. (John 21) After the initial rush of adrenaline from launching his body into the water, I can imagine him wondering "What will I say to him?" Or more frightening yet, "What will He say to me?" One of the last interactions they had was when Peter literally said "May curses be brought upon me if I know this man." If there was ever a way to effectively and completely cut off a relationship with someone, I'm pretty sure that would be it.
Soon after Peter arrives at the shore Jesus asks him – at his most vulnerable and insecure moment – "Do you love me?" The word he used here was of course agape – unconditional love. Now, could Peter in good conscience answer yes considering his denial? Therefore he responds with "Lord you know that I love you" but uses the lesser form fileo, or brotherly, love. By the third time Jesus asks the question – one for every denial – Peter is deeply grieved. Jesus' question struck at Peter's deepest insecurity which was that he was not, in fact, worthy to be considered a faithful follower of Christ – a conviction which he had adamantly held to up to the moment he denied Jesus.
Why did Jesus present Peter with this question? Was He merely taunting him or did Jesus need some kind of affirmation of Peter's devotion after his denial? It is clear that it was not Jesus who doubted Peter's love, but Peter. Peter needed a reminder that his devotion to Jesus was not dependent on what he could offer to him or gain from him, but simply based on his love for him and the desire for a relationship with him.
But why did Jesus wait until now to ask this loaded question? I can easily imagine what Peter would have said if Jesus had posed this question prior to his denial. Without a moment's hesitation he would have said "Yes, Lord! Of course I love you unconditionally!" In fact, when Peter proclaimed that he would rather die than deny Jesus, he was essentially avowing unconditional love and devotion.
However, Peter's problem was two-fold: 1) He was prideful of his fervent devotion to the Lord and 2) He misunderstood the true nature of Jesus' kingship. These two things together created a sense of spiritual entitlement that because of his radical devotion to the Lord, he could expect to be exalted with Jesus when He rose to His rightful throne of power.
However, this entitled mindset was not revealed until the moment Peter realized that Jesus was going to die, thus shattering any expectations of exaltation. At that moment, Peter was tested to see precisely where his true devotion lay. In denying Jesus, Peter was effectively stripped of any entitlement of what he stood to gain from his fervent devotion. Now, if his expectations laid solely in the potential for earthly glory, he might have committed suicide like Judas did. But he did not.
In fact, when Peter saw Jesus on the shore he launched himself headlong towards Him, though having nothing to offer of himself and nothing to gain but Jesus Himself. Jesus could not have asked "Do you love me unconditionally?" until the earthly conditions and expectations Peter had placed on his devotion had been effectively removed. All conditions of conditional love stem from some form of entitlement. Therefore only after Peter was stripped of his spiritual entitlement was he able to fully receive and respond to Jesus's unconditional love.
Now let us fast forward through several more years of Peter's faithful discipleship to the very end of his life. History informs us that Jesus' prophecy was finally fulfilled when Peter was sentenced to death on a cross. By this time, however, Peter's attitude had undergone a radical transformation. This disciple who had previously argued about who was the greatest now insisted on being crucified upside down to deny any exaltation of equality with his Lord's death.
Peter's swim towards Jesus after his humiliating denial was not unlike the road the Prodigal took to go back home after being stripped of all his earthly entitlement. At that moment, the Prodigal knew he had nothing to offer and he expected nothing in return – yet there was no other place he would go than back to the house of his Father. The moment we reach the end of ourselves and what we feel we have to either offer by or expect in return for our own devotion to Jesus is the moment we can receive and respond to His unconditional love.

Wrongful Death Claims in Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice Cases
When a medical error such as a hospital error results in a patient's death, the survivors of the deceased may be able to make a claim under Pennsylvania's wrongful death statute, 42 Pa.C.S. § 8301. Wrongful death actions are premised on the death of an individual caused by the negligence of another person or entity, such as a hospital, doctor or treatment facility.
Pennsylvania's Wrongful Death Statute in Medical Malpractice Cases – Who Can Bring an Action?
Under section (b) of the wrongful death statute, only certain survivors can bring a wrongful death action against the person or entity liable in a medical malpractice case. The deceased patient's spouse, children or parents, no matter where they reside, are eligible to bring a wrongful death claim. If there is no spouse, then the children will divide any recovery relative to the proportion under intestate laws. In other words, children of the deceased patient will usually split the recovery equally.
Pennsylvania's Wrongful Death Statute in Medical Malpractice Cases – What is Recoverable?
Under section (c), the plaintiff in a wrongful death medical malpractice claim can make claims for the following special damages:
medical expenses,
funeral expenses,
estate administration expenses,
other damages.
The basis of the damages in a wrongful death action in Pennsylvania is the loss of economic support caused by the death. So, for example, in a medical malpractice case involving the death of a young parent with minor children, there is likely to be a claim for lost economic support.
In addition to a wrongful death action, there may be a viable survival action. A survival action would be permitted in a situation where the patient survives for some period of time after the negligence occurred. In essence, the patient had a right to a negligence action/lawsuit that then passes to the heirs or survivors. A survival action or claim is unavailable in cases where the patient or decedent dies instantly.
However, each case varies, depending on the specific facts and circumstances and therefore, it is important to seek advice of a medical malpractice lawyer before making any decisions or taking any action in a case.
