Living & Working Here
Hospital at Home (H@H) is a service where eligible patients may receive hospital-level, acute care in their home.
A physician, nurse, and other interprofessional team members provide care through a combination of in-person visits at the patient's home and virtual visits using phone and/or video. Technology will also used to monitor a patient's condition.
The program is voluntary for eligible patients/caregivers who live in close proximity to the hospital, and who have good support and coping capacity at home. Patients and caregivers, along with the care team, can determine if participation in the program is appropriate.
Care is short-term (3-7 days) and is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.
The program allows for immediate transfer into hospital (bypassing the Emergency Department) if the patient's condition deteriorates at home.
The program allows patients to choose a safe and effective alternative to traditional in-patient treatment.
The Hospital at Home program intends to:
Improve patient and caregiver satisfaction
Reduce/improve transitions in care
Reduce risk to patients (hospital-related risks such as infection, decline of function, cognition/delirium, changes in mental health)
Improve utilization of acute beds
Facilitate appropriate and efficient discharge
Strengthen the Northern continuum of care
Enable longitudinal, system-wide cost savings
Northern Health, the Prince George and Northern Interior Rural Divisions of Family Practice, Medical Staff Associations, BC Emergency Health Services, and the First Nations Health Authority are collaborating to develop the Hospital at Home prototype for Prince George, which launched in March 2021.
Where in Northern Health will it be available?
Hospital at Home will first launch through the University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC) in Prince George with additional sites being determined later.
What was the outcome of the Prince George prototype?
The UHNBC Hospital at Home (H@H) inpatient unit did a 'soft' launch on March 15, 2021 for an eight-week prototyping phase.
For the prototype phase of Hospital at Home, we focused on the following patient specific complex medical populations:
Patients already receiving community-based palliative care services who temporarily require acute-level care (i.e., for a pain crisis, uncontrolled symptoms, congestive heart failure).
Patients who require enhanced IV therapy that extends beyond regular services to allow time for adjustments to medication routine that will fit within regular extended hours services.
Specific post-surgical patients who require 24 hour care following surgery (i.e., Laparoscopic Assisted Vagina Hysterectomy).
During this time, the team successfully admitted, cared for and discharged 36 patients, the majority of which were in the medicine service and a few under the surgical service.
Between 1/4 – 1/3 were palliative care patients (mainly IV antibiotics). The top 10 admitting diagnoses included:
Cholecystitis
Esophageal Mass
Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy
Myomectomy
Urosepsis
Patients and their families provided overwhelming positive feedback about their experience.
Barriers to admission included: no caregiver for patient support and safety, patients identified from long-term care and assisted living, and patients who had medical conditions not included in the admission criteria. An additional positive impact was that 12 patients were identified as being appropriate for discharge from acute care.
What are the next steps after the prototype?
Agreement needs to be reached provincially as to how to compensate fee-for-service primary care physicians rending H@H services to support longitudinal comprehensive care of patients.
While this issue is being resolved provincially, the Prince George H@H service will continue to operate by admitting post-operative patients appropriate to this level of care, beginning with gynecological surgeries, with the surgeon taking on the role as MRP.
Once a suitable primary care compensation model has been determined, the service will move to admit stable medical patients under their primary care provider.
How is a patient eligible for admission into Hospital at Home?
Patient eligibility is assessed against defined demographic and clinical characteristics. This includes basic criteria such as:
Do they have a known diagnosis, and are they clinically stable?
Are they unlikely to require multiple in-hospital tests, treatments or consultations?
Do they have a safe home environment and a caregiver in the home?
Do they live close to the hospital?
Patients and caregivers must provide informed consent for admission to the program. Admitting physicians are expected to consider any other relevant factor(s) that may affect the patient's likelihood of doing well in the Hospital at Home program.
When determining whether someone is eligible for the program, their health and safety is always of the utmost importance.
Programs similar to Hospital at Home have been used in other jurisdictions worldwide, where they have been shown to improve patients' and families' experiences of care.
Many research studies have shown that this type of program provides the same or better care than traditional inpatient hospitalization, including three Cochrane medical reviews, which represent the highest standard in evidence-based health care research.
A hospital stay can sometimes pose physical, cultural, financial or psychological barriers to accessing care that, for some, can be reduced by being at home.
Receiving care at home can help minimize disruption to relationships with family, caregivers, and community, as well as disruption to other important parts of day-to-day life such as diet, sleep, and hobbies.
Hospital at Home can reduce risks to patients associated with time spent in hospital, such as infection and decline in function, cognition/delirium, and changes to mental health.
By providing short-term acute care in the patient's home, the program will improve access and increase efficiency. It will do this by reducing pressure on in-patient hospital beds, decreasing hospital congestion by optimizing patient flow, and improving overall system capacity.
What happens if a patient starts deteriorating?
If at any time a patient's condition deteriorates at home, the program allows for their immediate transfer into hospital (bypassing the Emergency Department).
Hospital at Home will have systems and processes in place to quickly recognize, respond to, and escalate care for deteriorating patients.
How will physicians be compensated for participating in this program?
How does the program work in other jurisdictions?
There are many examples of programs similar to Hospital at Home around the world:
In Australia, the first Hospital in the Home program was introduced at the state level in 1994.
John Hopkins Hospital in the United States introduced their Hospital at Home program in 1995.
The Australian state of Victoria is currently running their program with about 500 'virtual' hospital beds in 52 services sites across the states.
The program has been very well received by both health-care professionals and the public and is heavily used in both the United States, particularly in veteran's hospitals, and Australia.
Scotland is also working to expand its existing programs, and the National Health Service in England also offers some Hospital at Home programs.
A pilot Hospital at Home program was offered in Toronto; we have incorporated lessons from that experience to the BC prototype.
Alberta also has a program called Hospital at Home; however, that program is quite different from the BC approach.

A recent survey reveals that satisfaction with the dental implant procedure is greater than the conventional denture method. Dental implants are a giant leap in the dentistry. These are the only option for the people with the missing teeth. But most of the people are not aware of the post caring of these teeth implants which leads to further complications. Are you one among them? Don't worry! Here are some useful tips for you to take care of the dental implants Sydney.
Dental implants Sydney are placed in the jaw bone, which act as a root that rigidly holds the crown or the denture from shifting or slipping. This method is generally preferred for a missing teeth replacement. Dental implants look alike the natural teeth.
What Are The Effective Tips For The Post Implant Maintenance?
These 48 hours after your dental implant is the most crucial time. Place the given gauze packs with slight pressure in the area of your surgery to hold your teeth in place. Don't change your gauze unless and until over bleeding exists. After one hour you are allowed to replace your gauze for every 30 to 45 minutes.
During your first week after the implant procedure, your implants continue to heal. In this period you have to make some changes in your diet by avoiding acidic foods and beverages and consuming soft food that are nutritious. Also rinse your mouth with salt water periodically in addition to your brushing and flossing.
Just as you do a regular cleaning with brush and floss, you are allowed to use the same for the dental implants but use a non-alcoholic mouthwash. As there is a possibility of bacteria invasion, make use of the implant cleaning instruments like interproximal brushes, unwaxed floss, oral irrigators (twice a day) and simulators.
Cleaning done by a professional is a very important process in the healing phase of your dental implants. They perform in-depth cleaning which is not possible with any ordinary brush or floss. The dentist uses a method known as Scaling, which removes the plaque and also cleans below the gum line. Thus scaling keeps away the bacteria.
There is reason for taking this master check-up, as diseases like diabetes, osteoporosis, slows down your implant healing process.
The dental implants cost is reasonable and affordable, so don't live with the pain. Go for the dental implants for a happy life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jrnytthpst from I love Golden Acrylics! I bought the heavy body paints knowing that I could thin them down and make them last much longer. I had no clue exactly how much you can thin them down! I use the Golden gel mediums for thinning since they contain the same polymers as the paints do without the color so there is no fear of losing depth of color. The photo I am uploading I used a whole jar of 8 ounce gel medium and nearly a whole jar of pouring medium trying to thin the colors down and you can see how bold the colors still are! It's amazing! The only reason I'm using these for a pour is because I'm working on commissions for a friend and he paid for my paints, therefore what I do for him will incorporate these.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kspringhart from Excellent product Golden paints are extremely good. A bit pricey though. Great range of colors. Coverage is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Preeti from Beautiful thickness and application!! After using heavy body acrylic paints, it is hard for me to go back to "normal" acrylic paints!! I love the thickness of the paint, the richness and quality of the color and the resulting RICH looking paintings and even the ability to create a near-impasto effect in my paintings!!!!
There are no currently known health hazards associated with anticipated use.

When did Nestorius Lose his Office? A Refutation of John Salza & Robert Siscoe
Cardinal Louis Billot, S.J. (1846-1931)
The huffing and puffing anti-sedevacantist apologists over at TrueOrFalsePope.com are currently busy publishing countless excerpts from their 700-page book as separate, individual articles. One such article posted on Feb. 2 criticizes Sedevacantists for pointing out that Nestorius automatically and immediately ceased to be the valid bishop of the see of Constantinople at the moment he became a public heretic, and not only after a legal declaration by the Church. This, John Salza and Robert Siscoe maintain, is false: "Nestorius was not deposed by 'Divine law' the moment he began preaching heresy, but was instead deposed after the Church itself rendered a judgment", they argue (italics given). But is this true? The main text usually quoted on this by us Sedevacantists comes from Saint Robert Bellarmine, the great Doctor of the Church, from his book On the Roman Pontiff:
Pope Celestine I, in an epistle to John of Antioch, which is contained in Volume One of the Council of Ephesus, ch. 19, says: "If anyone who was either excommunicated or exiled by Bishop Nestorius, or any that followed him, from such a time as he began to preach such things, whether they be from the dignity of a bishop or clergy, it is manifest that he has endured and endures in our communion, nor do we judge him outside, because he could not remove anyone by a sentence, who himself had already shown that he must be removed." And in a letter to the clergy of Constantinople: "The Authority of our See has sanctioned, that the bishop, cleric or Christian by simple profession who had been deposed or excommunicated by Nestorius or his followers, after the latter began to preach heresy, shall not be considered deposed or excommunicated. For he who had defected from the faith with such preaching, cannot depose or remove anyone whatsoever." (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice: On the Roman Pontiff, trans. by Ryan Grant [Mediatrix Press, 2015], p. 308)
This text Salza and Siscoe are trying to spin into a support for their position. They write:
All [Pope St. Celestine I] said is that the excommunications and depositions inflicted by Nestorius, after he began preaching heresy, were later declared to be null and void. But this in no way implies that he had already been deposed ipso facto by Divine law. It just means that the unjust acts of the one who himself was on the road to excommunication (Nestorius) were later declared null. (John Salza and Robert Siscoe, "Sedevacantism Proven False by the Case of Nestorius", TrueOrFalsePope.com; italics given.)
Later in their essay, the authors repeat their central thesis one more time: "Nestorius did not lose his office when he began preaching heresy (but only after he was deposed by a council three years later)". To prove this claim false, we will simply refer our readers to someone who addressed the matter with a bit more competence than the ex-Masonic Wisconsin tax attorney and his theological sidekick: Cardinal Louis Billot, S.J. (1846-1931). Fr. Billot is considered to be the main drafter of Pope Saint Pius X's landmark encyclical against Modernism, Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907). On June 19, 1909, Pius X appointed Billot as a consultor to the Holy Office (see Acta Apostolicae Sedis I, p. 538), and in 1911, the same Pope raised the Jesuit priest to the rank of cardinal. It is no exaggeration to say that Billot was one of the most brilliant Catholic theologians of the twentieth century. In his Tractatus de Ecclesia Christi ("Treatise on the Church of Christ"), Cardinal Billot addresses the question of occult (secret) vs. public heresy and teaches, in agreement with other theologians, that occult heretics are still members of the Church, whereas public heretics are not. Juxtaposing the consequences of occult heresy with those of public heresy, Billot invokes the case of Nestorius to support his thesis that public heretics cease to be members of the Church from the very moment their heresy becomes manifest, quite automatically and without the need for any judgment or declaration:
At length we come to another argument. To be sure, whoever dwells outside the Church is ipso facto rendered unfit for all ordinary jurisdiction, say, episcopal jurisdiction [1]. The reason is that a person who has ordinary jurisdiction or truly episcopal jurisdiction possesses the dignity of being the head, and no one can be the head of even a particular church if he is not a member of the Church. Indeed, what was ever a head that was not a member? Hence, if occult heresy were to put a man outside the Church, whenever a doubt about the legitimacy and authority of pastors could arise, there would not be moral certitude about their internal faith. But God forbid that the establishment of Christ should endure such a monstrous anomaly whereby the sinews of discipline would be loosened. We do not solely employ more probable arguments in this matter, because distinctly and expressly we are informed that a bishop by reason of heresy does not lose his own power of binding and loosing, except when he preaches heresy and openly professes it. In this regard, among other documents, there is extant the letter of Pope Celestine to the clergy and people of Constantinople in the case of Nestorius, where the Pontiff first urges Catholics to fight bravely for the faith, bear hardships patiently, and not fear exile. "No Christian," he says, "should bewail a temporal exile imposed upon him, because no one is an exile to God. Let us fear exile from the realm of the living, that is, the realm that we wish to be our homeland. That is our perpetual and eternal abode. Indeed ours is no ephemeral place, but those things are truly ours, which a most certain hope promises." Then declaring invalid the opinion whereby Nestorius had removed some people from either their office or the communion of the faithful, he continues: "Nevertheless, lest the opinion of one who had already called down upon himself a divine judicial sentence seem valid even at the time, the authority of our See has decreed that, from the moment that Nestorius and those like him begin to proclaim such [heresy], We do not regard as exiled or excommunicated any of the bishops or clerics or Christians by any profession who were dispossessed of office or cast out of communion by him and his followers. Rather all were and still remain in communion with Us, because a person who erroneously preached such [heresy] could not eject or remove anyone" [2]. Therefore you see that a bishop who is a heretic in secret is still vested with the power of binding and loosing, since he loses episcopal jurisdiction and the power of excommunication only from the time at which he begins to preach heresy openly. Furthermore, the conclusion is readily seen. For if he who is not in the Church cannot possess authority in relation to the Church, and a occult heretic can have authority — better still, at some time possesses it in reality — it clearly follows that a occult heretic has not yet been cut off from the body of the Church. _______________ [1] Note the deliberate phrasing: of all ordinary jurisdiction; for with regard to extraordinary and merely delegated jurisdiction in a case of necessity, it is not the same idea, as will be readily clear upon consideration. [2] Pope Celestine, Epistle 14, n. 7 (Migne, Patrologia Latina, volume 50). Also see the same Celestine's Epistle 12 to John of Antioch, n. 2: "But if anyone has been either excommunicated or divested of episcopal or clerical dignity by Bishop Nestorius or those who follow him, it is clear that the person remained and remains in communion with Us from the moment [Nestorius and his followers] began to preach such [heresy], etc." (Louis Billot, S.J., Tractatus de Ecclesia Christi, 3rd ed. [1909], Thesis XI, Q. 7; pp. 300-301; italics in original; underlining added. Translation by Novus Ordo Watch.)
Cardinal Billot is contradicting verbatim the thesis of Salza and Siscoe, namely: "Nestorius was not deposed by 'Divine law' the moment he began preaching heresy, but was instead deposed after the Church itself rendered a judgment". Billot, quoting no less of an authority than Pope St. Celestine, explicitly says that Nestorius had "already called down upon himself a divine judicial sentence" — "already", as in, "before the judgment of the Church"; and obviously a divine judicial sentence is effective immediately and not dependent upon the Church confirming it later on. This Nestorius did by the public heresy itself (ipso facto). Pope Celestine's clear statement that those whom the heretical Nestorius had condemned or pretended to remove "were and still remain in communion with Us" underscores the fact that Nestorius lost his office at the moment his heresy was public. Unlike what Salza and Siscoe would have the reader believe, St. Celestine does not say that such are being reinstated or that their reinstatement is to have retroactive force — as though Nestorius had had the power to validly condemn and remove them — but that they "were and still remain in communion with us". But if this is so, it is because the communion was never lost, and the only way this is possible is if Nestorius, who "removed" them from communion, had no power to do so because he had already lost his office. Here we see that what Salza and Siscoe are claiming is just a sedevacantist misreading of St. Robert Bellarmine is actually confirmed to be correct by one of the Church's greatest theologians in the twentieth century! Or what are Salza and Siscoe asking us to believe? That Cardinal Billot got it wrong too? That he did not understand St. Celestine or St. Robert Bellarmine and was ignorant of Church history? That he held a minority position that was highly controversial, without saying so and without justifying it at length? What's interesting is that although the two anti-sedevacantist authors list Billot's Tractatus de Ecclesia Christi in the bibliography of their book (p. 686), somehow the part about Nestorius didn't make it into their argumentation — despite the fact that they assure us in their foreword (p. 13) that they studied "all of the writings (to our knowledge) of the Church's greatest theologians on the question of a heretical Pope…" and spent 10 years researching these issues. In case the objection will now be advanced that "Cardinal Billot was not infallible", we respond immediately that although true, this is entirely irrelevant. If this obvious remark could be used to simply dismiss what any theologian says, why would the Church bother having theologians in the first place? Even more to the point, why then should anyone bother to look at what Salza and Siscoe have to say, since they too are not infallible and not even theologians? Next, the two authors seek support for their idea that Nestorius couldn't have lost his episcopal see automatically upon the fact of being a heretic, in the Council of Ephesus (431 AD): "Nestorius was deposed three years later at the Council of Ephesus, after the Church had investigated the matter and rendered the necessary judgment." The authors think that Ephesus lends support to their ideas because the council says Nestorius "should be stripped of his episcopal dignity and removed from the college of priests". This objection is tackled in John Daly's book against Michael Davies, which neither Salza nor Siscoe apparently came across in their 10 years of research (its first edition was published in 1989):
In passing, it should perhaps also be mentioned that, if any of the Fathers did assert that heretics deserve to be deprived of their dignity, this would not necessarily imply that they had not forfeited their office ipso facto, because it could equally refer to their de facto possession of the external trappings of the office [44]. _______________ [44] This would appear to be supported by the nearest instance I know to a statement by a Father of the Church that heretics deserve to be deprived of their dignity. Pope St. Celestine I (422-432) in his letter to John of Antioch preserved in the Acts of the Council of Ephesus (Vol. 1, cap. 19), says: "If anyone has been excommunicated or deprived either of episcopal or clerical dignity by bishop Nestorius and his followers since the time that they began to preach those things, it is manifest that he has persevered and continues to persevere in communion with us; nor do we judge him to have been removed, because one who has already shown that he ought himself to be removed ['se iam præbuerat ipse removendum'] cannot by his own judgement remove another." Here it is evident that in referring to Nestorius and his supporters as "removendi" – "those who ought to be removed" – St. Celestine does not mean that they retain their offices until deposed. That is precluded by the fact that he expressly judges their authoritative acts to have been null even prior to their deposition. His meaning is evidently that they ought to be removed physically from the accoutrements of the office which they had already ipso facto forfeited. See also the same pontiff's letter to the clergy of Constantinople. (John Daly, Michael Davies — An Evaluation, 2nd ed. [Saint-Sauveur de Meilhan: Tradibooks, 2015], pp. 156-157; italics given.)
This is not to say that it was not of the utmost importance for the Church to declare that the loss of office had taken place and move to a full-scale deposition of Nestorius. Deposition is a vindictive penalty which may involve not merely the loss of an ecclesiastical office, which it makes irreversible and perpetual, but also the deprivation of the benefice and dignities attached to the office. If Salza and Siscoe are using the term "deposition" as synonymous with "loss of office", they are treading on thin ice. The canon law professor Fr. Henry Ayrinhac notes that deposition, at least as the term is used in modern-day church law (since 1917), "implies more than suspension or privation of office", and, touching upon the question of Church history, he notes that "the language of councils or ecclesiastical writers when treating of this subject often lacks precision", adding that the language did not become more exact until "the sixth and seventh centuries" (H. A. Ayrinhac, Penal Legislation in the New Code of Canon Law [New York: Benziger, 1920], pp. 163, 145). Of course none of this is helpful to the Salza-Siscoe thesis. But with this in mind we now understand how St. Robert Bellarmine could say both that "all the ancient Fathers … teach that manifest heretics immediately [mox] lose all jurisdiction" (De Romano Pontifice, Book II, Ch. 30; p. 309) and yet also maintain that the Council of Ephesus "deposed Nestorius by a command of a letter of the Roman Pope Celestine" (Book II, Ch. 13; p. 217). Next, Salza and Siscoe attempt to hijack Pope Pius XI for their cause, quoting his encyclical letter on the Council of Ephesus, Lux Veritatis (nn. 11-12), in which the Pope commends St. Cyril of Alexandria's appeal to Rome before deciding whether to break communion with Nestorius or not. But this will not help our anti-sedevacantist duo either, because while St. Cyril of Alexandria was not sure how to act with regard to Nestorius and therefore prudently appealed to the Holy See, knowing that this See would render a decision he had to abide by — note well, Messrs. Salza and Siscoe! — Pius XI nowhere says that those who immediately cut off communion with Nestorius did anything wrong. What the quote from the encyclical proves is only how St. Cyril acted, and that Pope Pius commended him for it — not, however, as though it would have been impermissible for St. Cyril to break communion with Nestorius before a judgment from Rome, but inasmuch as, unsure about what he should do, St. Cyril appealed to the Apostolic See for help, knowing that this See is pre-eminent and that the true Faith and right counsel can always be obtained from it for as long as it is validly occupied. It is his allegiance and recourse to the Holy See in what was to him a doubtful matter, for which Pius XI praises St. Cyril, not his failure to withdraw from communion with Nestorius per se. So, the anti-sede apologists are reading something into the text of Pope Pius XI's encyclical that is simply not there. This can be proved in another way by looking up the actual letter St. Cyril wrote to Pope Celestine I — something we surely hope Salza and Siscoe did before pontificating about the matter. Writing to the Pope, St. Cyril relates how virtually all Catholics reacted when Nestorius boldly preached his perverse doctrine concerning our Lord and His Most Blessed Mother:
When the most pious Nestorius was sitting on the throne in the assembly of the Church of Constantinople, he arose and dared to say in a loud voice, "If anyone says that Mary is the Mother of God, let him be anathema." And there was a great shout from all the people and they ran out. They did not want to associate any longer with those who had such opinions, so that even now the people of Constantinople keep away except from a few shallower ones, and those who flatter him. But nearly all the monasteries and their archimandrites, and many of the senators do not join him. They fear lest they be injured in faith, while he and those with him, whom he brought when going up from Antioch, say everything perverted. (St. Cyril of Alexandria: Letters 1-50, trans. by John I. McEnerney [Washington, DC: Catholic University of America Press, 1987], pp. 61-62; underlining added.)
But it gets better still. Cyril then tells the Pope that he himself also refuses communion with Nestorius, although not yet openly (i.e. in public) until the Pope has given him direction on whether it is right and prudent to do so:
But we do not throw off communion with him openly, until we have communicated these matters to your reverence. Wherefore deign to specify what seems best, and whether it is necessary to be in communion with him sometimes, or to forbid henceforward openly because no one is in communion who thinks and teaches such things. (St. Cyril of Alexandria: Letters 1-50, trans. by John I. McEnerney [Washington, DC: Catholic University of America Press, 1987], p. 63; italics and underlining added.)
Clearly, St. Cyril of Alexandria was merely in doubt about how to act in public with regard to Nestorius, and so he turned to the Apostolic See for authoritative guidance. This is what Pope Pius XI is praising St. Cyril for. Would Salza and Siscoe also turn to the (Modernist) "Holy See" for authoritative guidance in any theological matter? Fat chance! One of the likely reasons why Salza and Siscoe are blundering so badly on this topic is that they confuse the loss of ecclesiastical office for heresy with the punishments for heresy. Loss of office is not a punishment per se, it is simply the necessary consequence of holding a faith different from that of the Church. Since the Church can have only one Faith, he who professes a different one cannot be a member of the Church, much less hold office in her. That's why in the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the loss of office is dealt with in Canon 188, under the section "On Persons", whereas the punishments for heresy are not covered until Canon 2314, under the section "On Delicts and Penalties". With their undue accusation of "private judgment" against Sedevacantists for saying that a manifest heretic loses his office immediately upon the fact, Salza and Siscoe are demonstrating that they do not believe that facts can be known apart from a Church judgment. Yet the Church teaches the exact opposite, legislating in her Code of Canon Law that facts that are "notorious" (Canon 2197 n. 3) — that is, things publicly known and carried out in such circumstances that they could not be concealed — need not be proved in an ecclesiastical court (Canon 1747 n. 1) because it would be pointless to prove something that is already known and cannot reasonably be questioned. The Catholic Encyclopedia explains:
Canonists have variously classified the legal effects of notoriety, especially in matters of procedure; but, ultimately, they may all be reduced to one: the judge, and in general the person in authority, holding what is notorious to be certain and proved, requires no further information, and therefore, both may and ought to refrain from any judicial inquiry, proof, or formalities, which would otherwise be necessary. For these inquiries and formalities having as their object to enlighten the judge, are useless when the fact is notorious. (Catholic Encyclopedia [1911], s.v. "Notoriety, Notorious")
Nor will the authors of True or False Pope? be able to argue that notoriety of fact is tied to a church judgment, because as the text just quoted shows, facts can be notorious even before such a judgment, and, in such a case, require no legal proof at all. Messrs. Salza and Siscoe are continually misrepresenting the Sedevacantist position when they claim that we hold "that prelates are deposed as soon as individual Catholics 'discern' they are heretics by their own private judgment". Obviously, no Sedevacantist claims that there is a loss of office when someone somewhere thinks that there is. Rather, what causes the loss of office is the objective and notorious fact of public heresy, regardless of who discerns it, and that is or at least can be a matter of objective fact; it does not have to be tied to a legal decision, as we just saw. And while one may perhaps argue about the precise point at which something occult (private) becomes objectively public, or exactly when a heretic is to be considered manifest, this has no relevance to Francis (or most of his five predecessors), for if he is not a public and manifest heretic, then the term simply has no meaning. Pick any heresiarch in history — Arius, Nestorius, Luther, Calvin, Jansen, John Paul II — Francis has outdone them all. That's how bad the situation is that we are in today, and yet here we have two SSPX apologists writing 700 pages trying to convince you that a man can be the Vicar of Christ who is not even a Christian! Then again, this absurd idea fits very well into our absurd world: Francis is "Pope" in a world in which Rachel Dolezal is black and Bruce Jenner is a woman. And only in such a world. This is actually quite a consoling thought!
John Salza and Robert Siscoe are currently in all-out attack mode, and no doubt this will continue still for months to come. In all the rhetorical overkill you will continue to see from them, in all the grandstanding and shouting, in all the lawyerly techniques of persuasion, do not lose sight of one thing: At the end of the day, Salza and Siscoe are arguing that if it weren't for Francis, and if it hadn't been for Benedict XVI, John Paul II, John Paul I, Paul VI, and John XXIII, then the gates of hell would have prevailed against the Church. Yeah, sure. The simple truth is that it is possible for the Holy See to be vacant, but it is not possible for it to defect. And while they naturally insist that they do not believe the Holy See has defected, we all know that, de facto, Salza, Siscoe, and the entire SSPX/ Resistance gang believe precisely this, as their actions and often even their unguarded words betray them. They believe that the papacy has defected and that it is now their job to convert it back to Catholicism. That is heresy.

A Refutation of John Salza & Robert Siscoe
The huffing and puffing anti-sedevacantist apologists over at TrueOrFalsePope.com are currently busy publishing countless excerpts from their 700-page book as separate, individual articles. One such article posted on Feb. 2 criticizes Sedevacantists for pointing out that Nestorius automatically and immediately ceased to be the valid bishop of the see of Constantinople at the moment he became a public heretic, and not only after a legal declaration by the Church. This, John Salza and Robert Siscoe maintain, is false: "Nestorius was not deposed by 'Divine law' the moment he began preaching heresy, but was instead deposed after the Church itself rendered a judgment", they argue (italics given).

With the expansion of online banking, home automation and much more, we need to pay ever more attention to online security. The last few years has seen a mammoth increase in cybercrime.
Criminals are also becoming cleverer in the ways they attack us.
Cybercrime isn't victimless. Even if the bank reimburses stolen money (and spreads the loss across all its customers and investors), identity theft can still be life-changing.
In business there is usually no protection at all: if you lose money through online deception, you won't see it again.
So it's probably fair to say that we have a responsibility to ourselves, our families, our employers and our businesses to do as much as we can to ensure that transactions on the internet are made as safely as possible.
We need to take increasing care when submitting data to websites. Even giving away simple things like an email address could allow a criminal to start a collection of your personal data, which might finish with them stealing your identity.
Since the start of online shopping we've been told to look for a "closed padlock" icon* before sending our details to a website.
That, and the protocol "HTTPS", show your data is encrypted en route.
Currently, the popular browsers, Google Chrome and Firefox, make it easy for us to know when we are visiting safe (and unsafe) sites. As you can see, Chrome shows a closed padlock and the word "Secure".
For more detail, click on that round icon: Chrome then shows you information about the site, a warning that the site is not secure*, a list of all the cookies that the site uses and other, more technical information.
In 2018, websites that collect data (e.g. newsletter subscription forms) and that don't have a security certificate will also be flagged as insecure.
All this is very good for users, as the big browsers are coming down on the side of caution and lots of safety warnings, but it can easily become bad news for smaller website owners.
If you don't, or can't, then you will soon find you are rapidly losing "digital footfall" when browser warnings about your site drive people to your competitors!
Now is a very good time to conduct a security audit of your website. And we can help.


Are you a big fan of coupons? Are you a fanatic for flyers? Do you look at deals similar to a bee that looks for flowers? Are you aware that you can also use these skills when shopping online? It just takes knowledge and persistence. This article will provide you with the advice you need.
Shop around online to find the lowest price. When you shop online, you have a better chance of landing a great deal. When you shop online, only buy from merchants that you are comfortable with. A price can be great, but it's not great if don't want to purchase from that site.
If you shop online frequently, be sure that your computer's anti-malware is always running and updated. A lot of sites that allow you to shop are the target of people hacking or even people looking for identities to steal. If your security software provides you with a warning about a website, pay close attention and avoid that site. If you feel something is amiss with your own transaction, report it to the webmaster.
When considering purchasing a product from a new retailer, you should first check out customer reviews. Generally, this offers a good glimpse of what you can rightly expect. A seller consistently rated low over time needs to be avoided.
Be sure you are online to search for special deals. This is especially true for Wednesdays. Because many physical stores are open on weekends, many online stores are now moving up sales days into the midweek. You can do just a bit of research and get great tips in the middle of the week.
When in search of great coupons, you should think about signing up for newsletters of different stores you like. New customers often get the best deals. They will keep sending great offers to anyone with a demonstrated interest in the store, so the savings can really pile up.
Once you know how to save more money when shopping online, you just have to find the motivation to do so. It won't be long before you're saving tons by shopping online. Practice your online fish suppy shopping skills to make yourself a veteran bargain hunter!

What are Acriptega tablets for?
How long can a person survive on ARVs?
Can you be undetectable without medication?
Authorities in Pakistan have begun a three year antiretroviral treatment programme, for which drugs are being imported from India. Four treatment centres have been set up—in Islamabad, Peshawar, Lahore, and Karachi. The programme aims to provide treatment to 8000 infected people at the five centres.
What is the best treatment for HIV?
The treatment of HIV/AIDS with medicines is called antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is recommended for everyone who has HIV. The medicines do not cure HIV infection, but they do make it a manageable chronic condition. They also reduce the risk of spreading the virus to others.
Health centers that offer HIV services Health centers and clinics managed by the HRSA offer free and low-cost care to people with limited incomes, including people diagnosed with HIV.
What is today's treatment for HIV?
The treatment for HIV is called antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART involves taking a combination of HIV medicines (called an HIV treatment regimen) every day. ART is recommended for everyone who has HIV. ART cannot cure HIV, but HIV medicines help people with HIV live longer, healthier lives.
ARV's Available in Pakistan: ARV's are provided to all patients free of cost from these Treatment Centres.
Is PrEP available in Pakistan?
No. Although Truvada (Tenofovir + Emtricitabine) is registered in the National List of Essential Medicines by the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan, it is not approved for PrEP.
It is indicated for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected adults and adolescents above 12 years of age weighing at least 40 kg (see Precautions and Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions).
In which countries PrEP is free?
In 16 countries, PrEP is provided or reimbursed: Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Moldova, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Northern Ireland and Scotland within the UK.
A 2017 study in the journal AIDS found that the additional life expectancy for people with HIV at age 20 during the early monotherapy era was 11.8 years. However, that number rose to 54.9 years for the most recent combination antiretroviral era.
What type of drug is PrEP?
What is PrEP? PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is medicine that reduces your chances of getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV.
Is it possible to become undetectable if I am not on HIV meds? Only about 1 in 300 people with HIV keep their viral load suppressed without taking medications. Most people have to take HIV meds to control the virus and become undetectable.

Jedediah Peck (January 28, 1748 – August 15, 1821) was an American farmer, surveyor, Revolutionary War soldier, and New York State legislator described as a father of the common school system of the State of New York.  He was a man of limited education and had no gift as a debater or speaker, but he was a skillful organizer.  (His first name has occasionally been spelled Jedidiah or Jedadiah in the literature.)

An outspoken opponent of the John Adams administration and the Federalist Party in New York State, Peck was arrested by Federalist Judge William Cooper for circulating a petition against the Adams-era Alien and Sedition Acts and taken to jail in chains; massive protests from Peck supporters and opponents of the administration won his release without trial.

Biography
Peck was born in Lyme, Connecticut, one of thirteen children of Elijah Peck and Hepzibah Pierson. He was raised on the family farm, and his formal education was limited to attending a country grammar school, but he taught himself by reading the Bible many times over.  In 1771 at about age 23, Peck returned from a sea voyage to learn that his parents, three brothers and a sister had died.  He became extremely depressed and wrote in his journal that he longed for:

Days and times past when may father and Mother and all my bretherin and Sisters were about me in helth and prosperity but alas! trubel and Sorow hath Sorounded me and I am a poor Disconsolate Cretur.  There is no place that Seemes to be home to me.

He kept that journal in a secret drawer in his desk throughout the remainder of his life, and from that time he became quite evangelical about his faith.

He served four years as an enlisted man in the American Revolutionary Army. In 1790 he settled in what was to become the town of Burlington, Otsego County, New York. When Burlington was formed from a part of the Town of Otsego in 1792, Jedediah Peck became Burlington's first Town Supervisor and remained in that job for eight years.  He is said to have been elected to the position three times, the latest in 1820, when he would have been 73.

He also worked as a surveyor and millwright, studied law, was appointed as a judge, wrote political tracts, and conducted religious services on request. He is said to have been seen as an awkward figure, with his "drawling, nasal, yankee twang" and his saddle-bags "filled with political papers and scraps" that he distributed to all who would listen.

Peck was a strong anti-Federalist, and in 1798, Judge William Cooper, an ardent Federalist, had him arrested by a United States Marshal under the Alien and Sedition Acts for circulating petitions against those very acts.  Peck was taken in irons to be tried in New York City. The spectacle of the martyred war hero being transported in chains only served to help the Republican cause.  Peck was soon released without trial.

He was a member of the New York State Legislature for eleven years, in the Assembly (1798–1804) and in the Senate (1804 to 1808). In 1801 he submitted an amendment, forerunner to the Twelfth Amendment, to adopt designations for the votes for president and vice president.

His granddaughter, Anna Peck Sill, was the founder and principal of Rockford Female Seminary.

Father of the Common School System of New York State
While in the State Assembly (in 1801, 1803 and 1804), Jedediah Peck sponsored bills to establish common schools in the state, but each resolution was rejected.  In 1811, after Peck's retirement from active politics, Governor Daniel D. Tompkins appointed Peck chairman of a five-man commission to study the problem of public school education.  In five months the commission reported the fundamental principals of New York's educational system.  In 1812, a bill become law and the basic foundation of the state's public school system was established. The law requires:
that there be a division of towns into school districts;
that there be trustees in each district to superintend those schools;
that each town raise taxes as much as it received from the state school fund;
that the funds be divided among the various towns on a population basis, and then subdivided among the school districts.

In addition to his work in establishing the common school system of New York, he introduced a bill for the abolition of imprisonment for debt which later became a law.

Although nearly seventy years of age at the time, he served in the War of 1812, and took part in the Battle of Queenston Heights.  He died at age 74 and is buried at the  in the Town of Burlington, New York. A New York State Historical Marker at the site reads:

In memory of Hon. Jedediah Peck, a Revolutionary Patriot, who died Aug 15, 1821, in the 74th year of his age. The annals of the State bear record of his public usefulness and the recollection of his virtues bear testimony of his private work.

from the mistakes of more developed nations.
Governments in the region started building an online presence in the late 1990s, but are now actively developing online services to interact with citizens. The Internet is seen as a way to reduce costs, become more efficient and develop more transparent services — and help to reduce corruption in a region that is rife with it.
US$13.5-billion joint public and private sector initiative, will provide basic Internet access to at least 10,000 communities around the country. Brazil's San Paulo state has also installed infocentres that serve more than 3.5 million low-income users. However, the task of providing ubiquitous Internet access across the region remains daunting.
E-government requires not only IT infrastructure, but a vision — and follow-through on that vision. Most countries have started with basic offerings that have tangible benefits, such as online tax collection systems and passport processing. And most have bigger plans in the works: Chile, for example, has more than 260 e-government projects either planned or in progress, including 66 public Web sites.
Improving transparency and openness in government processes seems to be a priority in the region. Brazil's move to online procurement is one example. In August 2002, the government required that national, state and local governments use its Comprasnet portal to bid on government contracts. Today, more than 150,000 suppliers are registered with the government; each transaction saves an average of 25 per cent. And, of course, the system makes the procurement process more transparent.
Brazil, along with Chile and its ComprasChile portal, are leading the way — regionally — in this area. The Chilean government's site, for example, offers an online service where users can provide information to be considered for decision-making. Argentina is also making strides: the government has launched Active Control, a Web site where citizens can monitor procurement tenders in the public sector.
Such initiatives show the Internet can be used as a tool for limiting corruption in public bids.
But regional instability has caused some concern that e-government initiatives won't be followed through if a new leader or government takes over. Political and economic instability in countries such as Venezuela and Argentina make e-government a particular challenge.
And some argue that in volatile regions, providing online services to citizens may not be a top priority. But e-government isn't just about paying taxes online or booking the local community centre over the Internet. It's about giving citizens access to information that allows them to make decisions about their lives. In many countries, however, information isn't freely available online — or offline, for that matter. In many Latin American countries, freedom of information — and freedom of the press — is limited, presenting a major obstacle to dissemination of information. Often, the benefits of e-government are hard to quantify, but one of them clearly is increasing citizen participation and opening up communication both ways.


Each athlete starts with one dumbbell (10#/20#). Complete the following complex two times, first with the right arm, then the left: 5 push ups (one hand on the dumbbell), five weighted sit ups (dumbbell touching ground behind the head), Turkish get up (first half to standing), 5 1-arm hang power snatches, 5 1-arm overhead lunges. Each time the athlete completes the complex with both arms they earn a timed row for calories. If they increase their weight by five pounds over the previous round they earn 45 seconds of rowing, if they use the same weight as the previous round they earn 30 seconds of rowing, and if they reduce weight by five pounds they earn 20 seconds of rowing. Using the prescribed starting weight for the first round will earn 30 seconds of rowing, but they can choose to start 5 pounds heavier for 45 seconds. The score is the total number of calories rowed in 20 minutes (rounds started before the 20 minute cut-off may be completed).

'Law & Order' Boss Dick Wolf Ponders The Future of TV Ads (Doink, Doink)
Publié par Brian Steinberg dans The Wall Street Journal le 18/10/06.
Long before he created the popular crime-solving TV series "Law & Order," Dick Wolf was an ad man working for Benton & Bowles and other agencies. One of his big accomplishments was helping to devise the slogan "You can't beat Crest for fighting cavities" for the Procter & Gamble toothpaste. When working with P&G, Mr. Wolf says, "the sacred mantra was brand extension, and the biggest negative was a brand extension which would hurt the brand. That was to be avoided like the plague."
He took P&G's lesson to heart when building "Law & Order" and its critically-acclaimed spinoffs, which are broadcast so frequently on NBC and cable stations that their familiar "doink, doink" sound effects between scenes seem ubiquitous. Mr. Wolf gives P&G full credit. "There are some tips you never forget," he says.
These days, however, even the most successful TV producers face an uncertain new world. Consumers can watch entertainment programming whenever they please, on venues other than traditional television, and speed through the commercials. Mr. Wolf, 59, recently spoke with The Wall Street Journal about the changing relationship between advertisers and television. Excerpts:
The Wall Street Journal: We see producers trying to come up with ideas that will play well on mobile phones or the Web. Are these ventures worthwhile?
Mr. Wolf: I'm feeling that maybe I'm totally out of touch. I've been pitched Webisodes. I've been pitched everything. ... C'mon. Please, you think ringtones are going to be a major revenue stream for studios or networks? ... Unfortunately, the business model is irreparably broken, and people are going to have to figure out something new. ... I'm 59 years old. I don't think the world is going to come crashing down in five to six years, but I guarantee you, if anyone tells you what the television business is going to look like a decade out, they are on drugs.
WSJ: The CW recently unveiled two-minute-long themed ad breaks known as "Content Wraps." They're meant to be as entertaining as the programs they interrupt. As a producer, how would you feel if an advertiser ran something they hoped was as compelling as one of your programs during one of your programs?
Mr. Wolf: I'd love nothing better than to have people be watching interstitial moments in the show, so they didn't go channel surfing. In reality, I think it's an absolute pipe dream. Look, the bottom line is Americans don't like commercials. ... I don't think anybody wants to watch two-minute spots, but the wonderful thing about show business, television and advertising is nobody knows nothing. ... When I got into the advertising business, they still sold 60 [second commercials]. Then it went to 30s. ... The idea that people in their chairs want to watch something six times as long as that, I don't buy it.
WSJ: Decades ago, many programs were sponsored by a single advertiser, who often got to showcase their products during the show itself. Would you want to work with an advertiser in the early stages of coming up with scripts?
Mr. Wolf: In the old days, that was one of the only ways shows were done. Basically, networks were leasing systems. They leased their air to the advertisers. Kraft would come in and say, 'We want Saturday at 10 this week, and we'll pay for it,' and it was Kraft's television. This is very, very old wine in new bottles.
I've had the talks for the last decade with most of the major advertisers in terms of trying to get advertiser-supported television.. .. If there is a way to integrate [an advertiser] positively and seamlessly, I would have absolutely no objection to anybody who is willing to shoulder some of the cost of a program in a significant way. I'd be more than delighted to talk to them. It's very hard to do it correctly, and it's one of those things where there is a tipping point [of advertiser exposure in the program], and as soon as you hit the tipping point, the audience goes away.
WSJ: Your programs are known for hewing to pretty basic storylines -- a crime is committed, the cops solve it and the legal system tries the perpetrator. So do the 'CSI' series. Would you consider adding more elements of the detectives' personal lives to the L&O series, for example, if advertisers demanded it?
Mr. Wolf: There is a method to ['CSI' executive producer] Jerry Bruckheimer's and my madness, and it's an interest in stand-alone episodes and very little serializing, and very few personal things that are continued over multiple episodes. You can't expect people to make appointment television for off-network viewing five days a week if you script a show and you have to go to people who miss Tuesday and Thursday. It's going to be a continuing problem going forward and the bottom line is the audience is continuing to erode every day. ... I've never heard of advertisers demanding creative changes. They just want ratings.
WSJ: What do you think of 'CSI,' which has sort of grown up into a rival to the Law & Order empire?
Mr. Wolf: 'CSI' is a franchise. It is like the Palm restaurant. You can go to Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles. You want a great steak? You go to the Palm. ... That's what 'CSI' is. It's a great hour of television set in New York, Miami or Las Vegas. 'Law & Order,' I've developed it as a brand. It is more like a Mercedes. There are a lot of models, but you'll get a good car. If you go back to my advertising days, it's more like Crest. When I started on Crest, it was essentially one flavor. Then they brought out mint. Now they have a gel. They've got different flavors. They've got every permutation of various kinds of toothpaste delivery systems that have been invented. What that means is they are different, but if you want toothpaste, you grab Crest.
WSJ: What's the outlook for the rerun value of programs like yours, given DVDs and other new technologies?
Mr. Wolf: DVDs are already a mature business. The serialized dramas do better on DVD than procedurals [shows where the procedure, or police work, is more important than the characters], which are more commonly available in reruns. ... Notwithstanding, the economic model is getting further fractured and the real place where the rubber is going to meet the road is downloads. I don't know if USA or TNT is going to pay top dollar for shows that have been downloaded for six months, nine months, before the DVDs even come out, which means the hard-core fans of the show have probably got a permanent copy on their hard drives.
WSJ: 'Law & Order' has been on the air for almost 17 years, while the spinoffs are a little younger. How long can they last?
Mr. Wolf: They should last as long as the ratings stay at the level they have been. ... At a certain point, the numbers will not support the expense of making the shows, and at that point, they will be canceled. ... I have often stated my goal, which is to beat 'Gunsmoke,' and to become the longest-running scripted hour in history. ['Gunsmoke' aired for 20 years]. That would be great.
WSJ: With the three shows on NBC and cable channels USA and TNT and sometimes elsewhere, isn't there a concern about oversaturation?
Mr. Wolf: The best way to answer the question is USA. If there was a problem about that, I don't think it would be [a significant part] of their prime-time schedule. ... Nothing would make me happier than total ubiquity, [if people could] at some point get one of the branded episodes 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It would be fine with me.
WSJ: You tried to launch a fourth L&O series and another legal drama, 'Conviction.' Can you take this thing any further? What other ideas would you try?
Mr. Wolf: We've got eight projects in development for next fall. Two of them are comedies. I would love to be in the comedy business. I would love to be in a situation to get another drama that could run 17 years. It's not very likely, but hope springs eternal. ... Is there going to be another legal drama? Sure. Most of the ones that have been put on in the past 2½ years haven't worked, but one of the reasons is that are some pretty good ones still on. You have to beat that benchmark. I'm not sniping at other shows, but if you are going to do a show about a prosecutor, such as 'Shark,' you'd better do better stories than we are doing on 'Law & Order.' If you are going to do a forensic show, you'd better do it better than 'CSI.'
WSJ: Do you think that if you were entering the business today that you'd be able to have as much success as you've had?
Mr. Wolf: No. The business has changed so massively. ... You will never have the market forces again that, how do I put this, that allow people to get rich. ... The reality is you will never have the licensing fees negotiated again that resulted in 'ER' getting [millions of dollars] an episode, and that's where a lot of people made what many would probably insist is an unconscionable amount of money. ... The upside home runs for shows have been sort of flattened out by the new economic models of how shows are produced.

Germany sees no signs Russia to cut oil after British report
Other News Materials 29 August 2008 16:09 (UTC +04:00)
The German government has not discerned any signs that Russia might cut oil deliveries to Europe as part of its response to the crisis over Georgia, a spokesman said Friday.
"We firmly assume that contracts will be adhered to," government spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm said.
He was responding to a report in the London-based Daily Telegraph that the Kremlin would order a cut-off in supplies to Poland and Germany through the Druzhba pipeline, reported dpa.
"There are no signs thus far that contracts and approved deliveries will not be adhered to," Wilhelm said.
The Telegraph reported Friday that fears were mounting that Russia could restrict oil deliveries to Western Europe as soon as Monday after reports to this effect had begun circulating in Moscow.
"It is believed that executives from lead-producer LUKoil have been put on weekend alert," the British daily said.
It said it had been informed by a "high-level business source" that the executives had been "told to be ready to cut off supplies as soon as Monday."
Regarding an emergency meeting on Monday of European Union (EU) heads on the crisis, Wilhelm said Chancellor Angela Merkel's aim was that the summit sent "a clear political signal of determination."
Wilhelm said the EU was united in backing the six-point plan put forward by French President Nicolas Sarkozy on August 12 during visits to Moscow and Tbilisi and subsequently signed by Russian President Dimitry Medvedev and Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.
Georgia's territorial integrity had to be respected, he said.
Merkel phoned Medvedev on Thursday to make clear she saw Russian recognition of the breakaway Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Georgia as "absolutely not acceptable."
In response to a question, Wilhelm said the chancellor had not been in contact over the past week with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, seen by many observers as the driving force behind the new hardline approach from the Kremlin.

For over 15 year's we have delivered our dumpsters on-time, when and where our customers need them. Give us a call today to experience why we're the #1 affordable dumpster rental company nationwide.
Tips For Renting a Roll Off Dumpster in Osburn, Idaho!
Having an understanding of how dumpster rentals operate, the different size varieties and the weight capacities can go a long way to help you get the most for your money. Whether you're running a contracting firm and need a long term dumpster option, or you're a do-it-yourself homeowner starting a new project, there's going to be a dumpster that is the perfect choice for your needs. You'll have a variety of dumpster rental selections in Osburn, and knowing the various sizes, weight capacities and fees associated with the materials you'll be getting rid of can give you an advantage when looking to get the greatest investment for your money.
It's vital to factor in the different types of costs you can encounter when renting a dumpster in Osburn. Size, weight and types of materials will be the main determining factors in your job. Possible permit fees in Osburn are another consideration in your waste disposal project. Always check with your rental company and ask detailed questions before moving forward.
Fortunately, roll-off dumpsters in Osburn can be rented in all shapes and sizes with the most common being 10 to 30 cubic yard containers. If you've never rented a dumpster before you may be uncertain of what size you require for your specific job. In general, a 10 yard dumpster will be suitable to clear out a garage or dispose of waste from a one room project. If you're only cleaning out a large portion of clutter or doing some spring cleaning with a lot of smaller objects, you could probably get away with a 10 cubic yard dumpster. For large home improvement jobs, like roofing or remodeling, the wise choice would be a 40 yard dumpster. Any decent dumpster rental company can help you with this decision as well.
In order to keep costs as minimal as possible it's a good idea to keep an eye on any weight restrictions on your dumpster prior to renting it. Dumpster weight can play an important role in your decision, as you can risk damaging your property if it becomes too heavy, which could even end up cracking your driveway. In addition to weight concerns, you'll also want to check with the rental business regarding local landfill or environment regulations in Osburn, as they might factor into total costs. The types of materials you are getting rid of will play a role in possible landfill charges, larger objects in particular can impact this.
The various types of waste that you're going to be disposing of will determine cost and dumpster you're going to want to choose. Junk removal services may end up being a more cost effective choice if you only have a few large items. If you're just removing debris or clutter, then a 10 cubic yard dumpster should be sufficient. Another thing to consider is if the types of waste you're disposing of are going to be accepted by your dumpster company in Osburn. Often times items like refrigerators, batters, mattresses and food waste like grease won't be accepted.
Rental prices are effected by a broad variety of factors. Most dumpster service providers offer a no-cost estimate for their services. Obviously, bigger dumpsters can carry far more volume and weight. It is going to be more work to transport a large container, even if it's not at capacity, since it requires more man power. Because of this, renting larger containers is more expensive than smaller dumpsters.
It's always best to choose a dumpster company within the local area of Osburn. Local businesses will already know the regulations, recycling and disposal procedures associated with local laws, which can save you some effort in the long run. They also know where specific waste materials can be disposed of. Try to provide your rental company with as many details as you can, this will allow them to give you the best cost estimate.

'Stop Humanising Benjy'
'sup?
Further to the rescue of Benjy the gay bull by animal rights group ARAN.
Cork farmer Harold Kingston (via The Irish Farmer's Journal) writes:
Celebrity endorsements are big business. Some professional sports people can make more from having their name associated with products than from wages or winnings. Likewise having a celebrity's name or image associated with your product is very effective advertising.
It's no different when it comes to campaigns and fundraisers. Having a famous name backing your cause assures you of media coverage, especially if you can create a link.
Probably the strangest new celebrity is Benjy the so called "gay bull". The animal rights group ARAN spotted an opportunity and stepped in to rescue Benjy from being fattened for beef.
So what do the multitude of animal rights groups including PETA and HSUS basically believe? Most will be familiar with animal welfare groups like the ISPCA but these are fundamentally different. The rights groups treat animals almost as humans, believing that using animals for any work or commercial purpose is the same as slavery.
The more extreme treat meat as murder and milking as stealing. Even AI and disbudding calves are opposed as being contrary to nature, and animals should be free to roam if not in a sanctuary for their protection. I say "rescue", but in reality he was purchased from the farmer.
… All this despite the ARAN website recommending that no animal should be bought as it only encourages breeding for money.
Where this policy of not exploiting animals falls down in this case is the plan to use Benjy to highlight their cause and "bring national attention to all animals farmed" according to John Carmody of ARAN. I fail to see how this is different to any animal acting in films, or horses pulling carriages, or guide dogs for the blind, all of which are being opposed.
Calling the bull by a name is normal as all pedigree stock are named. What is not normal is the attempt to make this a gay rights issue. It is just another way to humanise Benjy. If it was an issue then some deserted wives organisation should be shouting for the cows left behind, and a children's group representing the weanling bulls Benjy apparently took a shine to. In fact I similarly believe the calling of working animals as slaves trivialises the phenomenal work of human rights groups.
Meanwhile, ARAN must be delighted there are ships approved to carry livestock so that their new working bovine can travel to England, despite their opposition in conjunction with CIWF to live exports. Strange world!

Deciding on a website builder is the first step to launching your online presence, so it's important to choose one that best suits your needs now and in the future.
Paying a developer to build you a website when you're a freelancer can seem like too high a price to pay for your needs, but that's not the only option for creating a web presence. There are now hundreds of sites to build websites, called "website builders", on the market. The new problem is deciding which one best suits your needs. We've listed our favourites to help you get started.
The most commonly used of all the website builders, WordPress.org offers scalable, highly customisable website options for complete beginners or highly skilled website developers. Around 28% of all the websites on the internet were actually created using WordPress technology, making it one of the most popular options for anyone looking to create a website.
The best features of WordPress.org are the lack of fees, as it's totally free, and the fact that it's open source, meaning it's easy to tweak all the different parts of the website to your liking. It's easy to use and it's easy to scale, with many templates to help you get started. A minor downside is that hosting is not included, so you will need to purchase that separately.
Squarespace is a very aesthetically pleasing drag-and-drop system that offers a range of very smooth, responsive designs suitable for a whole range of websites. Squarespace also offers an e-commerce option for an online store, which makes this website builder suitable for smaller-scale selling.
Despite its easy-to-use interface and effective designs, Squarespace does have some restrictions in terms of third-party services that can interact with it, which is worth bearing in mind. Though it is free, the best version is the paid version.
Wix is a cloud-based website building product, giving you a powerful but easy-to-use solution for your web needs. The system offers fully hosted websites, with a huge range of templates and a drag-and-drop system to help you get started.
If you need more functionality than just text and images on a page, you can add paid and free "apps" to your website to make it more comprehensive. However, you will need to purchase your domain name separately.
Originally a domain name and hosting service provider, GoDaddy now offers users a simple but effective drag-and-drop website option. With several paid plans on offer, users can buy website hosting and a domain name at the same time, taking the hassle out of searching for everything separately.
Though GoDaddy does offer a simple block-based design and an extensive photo library for stock imagery, the templates are not as sophisticated or as adaptable as the other website builders mentioned. However, it's enough to get you started with a basic website that has all the things you need to get your online business off the ground.

Firefighters warn burned out former Whitburn Lodge pub could keep smoking for 'days' as dramatic photos show efforts to tackle New Year's Day blaze
New photos from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service have shown the dramatic attempts to extinguish a blaze at the former Whitburn Lodge Pub.
By James Harrison

Updated 3rd Jan 2023, 3:05pm
Firefighters were originally called to the derelict site, in Mill Lane, at about 4.30pm on New Year's Day.
The ex-hostelry, which has been vacant for several years, was gutted by the blaze, which destroyed large sections of the roof and caused extensive damage inside.
Crews spent several hours bringing the inferno under control, eventually declaring it "completely extinguished" at about 11.40pm.
The former pub was "well alight" by the time fire crews arrived.

However, fire chiefs were also forced to revisit the scene yesterday (Monday, January 2), following reports of a "small amount of smoke coming from the building".
It is understood "hot spots" in the wrecked site could continue giving off smoke "over the next couple of days".
A Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) spokesperson said: "At 4.36 on Sunday (January 1), our fire control received a call reporting a fire at a disused pub in Mill Lane, in Whitburn.
An aerial ladder platform from Sunderland's Marley Park Fire Station was needed to bring the blaze under control.
"They deployed our crews to the scene and an appliance from South Shields Community Fire Station was on scene in a matter of minutes.
"Crews from Sunderland Central and Marley Park also later attended the scene.
"They found the former Whitburn Lodge pub well alight and immediately began to try and extinguish the flames.
"In total, six appliances and 22 firefighters attended the incident and eventually were able to bring the fire under control.
At one point more than 20 firefighters were involved in fighting the blaze.
"Enquiries into the circumstances around the fire are ongoing but nobody has reportedly been injured at this time.
"We want to thank the quick actions of our Fire Control and operational crews who responded so quickly and prevented the fire from spreading."
TWFRS added: "We can confirm that on Tuesday firefighters re-visited the scene of the recent fire at Whitburn Lodge in Marsden. This was a precautionary measure that the Service sometimes undertakes after an incident of this magnitude."
No one is believed to have been injured in the fire.
It took firefighters until shortly before midnight on New Year's Day to bring the blaze under control.
Fire crews also returned to the scene on Monday, January 2.
