"I was certainly aware that this was a culmination of the work of 300,000 or 400,000 people over a decade and that the nation's hopes and outward appearance largely rested on how the results came out. With those pressures, it seemed the most important thing to do was focus on our job as best we were able to and try to allow nothing to distract us from doing the very best job we could."
-Neil Armstrong, 2001 NASA interview

About Neil Armstrong
BORN: Aug. 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio
DIED: Aug. 25, 2012 in Cincinnati, Ohio, following complications from cardiovascular procedures.
HIGHER EDUCATION: Bachelor of Science in aeronautical engineering, Purdue University, and master of science in aerospace engineering, University of Southern California
BEFORE NASA: Naval aviator in Korean War and research pilot for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, NASA's predecessor. He tested experimental jet planes.
BEFORE APOLLO 11: Command pilot for the Gemini 8 mission in 1966, performing the first successful docking of two vehicles in space. It became a nail-biter, however, when a thruster became stuck because of a short circuit. Armstrong saved the mission, proving calm in crisis. "Neil never blinked, even with the best we could throw at him," said former KSC director Jay Honeycutt, whose job was to put the Apollo 11 crew through lunar landing simulations.

APOLLO 11 ROLE: Commanded the mission, landed the Eagle spacecraft on the surface of the moon and at 10:56 p.m. on July 20, 1969, became the first man to step foot on the moon. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong declared.
POST-NASA HIGHLIGHT: Worked at NASA headquarters and later taught aeronautical engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Armstrong turned down many requests for interviews.
POSTHUMOUS REQUEST: After Armstrong's death, his family said: "For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

"I slowly allowed my eyes to drink in the unusual majesty of the moon. In its starkness and monochromatic hues, it was indeed beautiful. But it was a different sort of beauty than I had ever before seen. Magnificent, I thought, then said, 'Magnificent desolation." It was a spontaneous utterance. An oxymoron that would take on ever-deeper dimensions of meaning in describing this new environment.
…Then, for the first time since stepping on the surface, I looked upward, above the LM. It was not an easy thing to do in a pressurized suit, inflated as stiff as a football, with a gold sun visor jutting out from my helmet. But I managed to direct my view homeward, and there in the black, starless sky, I could see our marble-sized planet, no bigger than my thumb. I became all the more conscious that here we were, two guys walking on the moon, our every move being watched by more people than had ever viewed one single event."

About Buzz Aldrin
BORN: Jan. 20, 1930, in Montclair, N.J.
NAME: Aldrin was born Edwin Eugene Aldrin, Jr. The nickname "Buzz" came from his younger sister who mispronounced the word "brother." Buzz stuck, and in 1988 Aldrin legally changed his first name to Buzz, dropping Edwin altogether.
MOON LINK: Aldrin's mother Marion's maiden name was Moon.
HIGHER EDUCATION: Bachelor of Science, U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and doctorate in science degree in aeronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His thesis: "Line-of-sight guidance techniques for manned orbital rendezvous."
BEFORE NASA: Decorated U.S. Air Force jet fighter pilot in Korean War. He flew 66 combat missions and shot down two MIG 15 aircraft.
BEFORE APOLLO 11: Flew on the four-day Gemini 12 mission in 1966 with Jim Lovell, the last flight of that program and spent a then-record of 5 hours and 30 minutes spacewalking. He also carried with him a slide rule in case he had to do any calculations while in orbit.
APOLLO 11 ROLE: Lunar module pilot and second man to step foot on the moon.
More: Aldrin Family Foundation names 50 recipients for its Giant Moon Map program
POST-NASA HIGHLIGHT: Author, advocate on behalf of mental illness, sober more than 40 years and avid speaker on behalf of human space exploration, championing organizations that sought to inspire the next generation of explorers. He advocates for a mission to Mars.
FAME: In the 1990s, the character Buzz Lightyear of "Disney's Toy Story" was named in Buzz's honor. He played himself dozens of times on TV and in movies, including "The Simpsons," "30 Rock," "Big Bang Theory" and the third "Transformers" movie, "Dark of the Moon." He also participated in "Dancing with the Stars" in 2010. And, yes, the moonwalker did the moonwalk much to the audience and social media's delight. Before he danced, Aldrin received a message of encouragement from the crew of the International Space Station.

"Far from feeling lonely or abandoned, I feel very much a part of what is taking place on the lunar surface. I know that I would be a liar or a fool if I said that I have the best of the three Apollo 11 seats, but I can say with truth and equanimity that I am perfectly satisfied with the one I have. This venture has been structured for three men, and I consider my third to be as necessary as either of the other two. I don't mean to deny a feeling of solitude. It is there, reinforced by the fact that radio contact with the Earth abruptly cuts off the instant I disappear behind the moon, I am alone now, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life. I am it. If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over on the other side of the moon, and one plus God knows what on this side."

About Michael Collins
BORN: Oct. 31, 1930, in Rome
HIGHER EDUCATION: Bachelor of Science, U.S. Military Academy at West Point
BEFORE NASA: Experimental flight test officer at the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California
BEFORE APOLLO 11: After serving as backup pilot on the Gemini VII mission, Collins was pilot of the Gemini 10 flight in 1966.
APOLLO 11 ROLE: Collins piloted the command module Columbia, remaining in lunar orbit while Eagle descended to the surface with his two crewmates.

General: The chondrites of this newly designated group are named for their type specimen Bencubbin, a meteorite that has been recovered in Australia in 1930. The CB chondrites are strange meteorites that contain more than 50% nickel-iron. If you consider this, they could be easily regarded as true stony-iron meteorites, but their mineralogical and chemical properties clearly put them into the class of the carbonaceous chondrites, or more strictly speaking into the CR clan.
Description: The CB chondrites can be easily distinguished from all other meteorite groups due to their high metal content, and they typically show mm-sized metal globules, and often cm-sized chondrules, with the metal globules often distorted by shock or partial melting. All CB members recovered so far belong to petrologic type 3.
Mineralogy: Besides abundant free metal, the CB members contain highly reduced silicates as well as armed chondrules similar to those found in the members of the CR group. Some members also contain CAIs (calcium-aluminium-inclusions), e.g., the meteorite HaH 237 from Libya, which was previously classified as a metal-rich CH chondrite. This shows the close relationship between the CH and CB groups, which are both members of the CR clan. The CB chondrites are further divided into the CBa subgroup, characterized by large metal globules and chondrules, and into the more metal-rich CBb subgroup with smaller chondrules and metal globules.
Origin and Formation: It is probable that the CB chondrites - like all members of the CR clan - formed under different conditions in the same region of the primordial solar nebula, but it is also possible that they are all part of one and the same parent body. In the latter case, 2 Pallas, the second largest asteroid of our solar system, would be a prominent candidate to be the original parent body of the meteorites of this clan. At least the reflectance spectra of the CR chondrites match the spectra of 2 Pallas quite closely, suggesting that those meteorites might have been derived from this large asteroid through impact events. On the other hand the meteorites of the CR clan don't show too many signs of an impact history such as brecciation, shock-veins etc. so that they might have been derived from much smaller parent bodies which aren't to be identified that easily.
Members: Currently, only eight meteorites constitute this ultra-rare group: the type specimen Bencubbin, Fountain Hills, Gujba, NWA 1814, and Weatherford constituting the CBa main group, and the more metal-rich HAH 237, QUE 94411, and the newly found Isheyevo forming the CBb subgroup. Of all these members, Gujba is the only witnessed fall, and arguably the most beautiful CB chondrite in existence.

Thanks for your insights! Makes me want to read this and keep going, for sure.
Wow, this sounds like quite the reading experience. I've been hearing good things about this book and want to read it. It sounds like it deals with an important issue in a respectful, complex manner. Have you read Stay by Deb Caletti? It sounds like Falling for You is very similar. I read it last year and really really enjoyed it.
I'd like to respectfully challenge/debate, as a friend, your idea that "Rae seemed too smart" for getting into an abusive/dangerous relationship, and that it was out of character. This idea I think contributes to the silence around domestic violence – for example, many feminists who have experienced domestic violence keep silent because of shame and humiliation — they certainly knew the signs, and if they had been advocates against domestic violence, then it seems they would be least likely to fall into an abusive relationship, right? So I'd argue that no one is too smart, too educated, etc. to find themselves in an abusive relationship. While I haven't read Falling for You obviously, it sounds from your review that her stepfather was also abusive. Rae entering into an abusive/controlling relationship could then be a continuation of the effects of the cycle of violence, as children who have been abused or experienced abuse are more likely to find themselves in abusive relationships when they are older, sadly.
So is it then ever out of character for a character to be in an abusive relationship? I mean, I guess if it appeared out of nowhere with no context, etc., maybe?
Rachelia, so glad you commented. Perhaps too smart was the wrong word choice. Let me try and explain my thoughts.
In most depictions of domestic abuse situations, the man is portrayed as a smooth operator, he woos the woman and slowly, insidiously takes over. It is a subtle manipulation that first lays the groundwork and then sweeps the rug away, often tiny piece by tiny piece, and women don't realize what is happening until they are more emotionally involved.
That is not the case with Nathan at all. He comes in and every action he does from moment one screams controlling and abusive. It is not subtle. Within the first few minutes of meeting Rae he tells her they are going to go on a date and that she will meet him tomorrow someplace at the time appointed. It's not smooth, it's not charming – it is offensive and off putting. There seems to be no reason for any girl to even want to say yes and actually show up for that first date. Then comes the date, where he exhibits more of the same behavior. From the get go Nathan's character is over the top classic abuser. There is no subtlety, no surprises. And the attraction didn't seem real or authentic. I believe that Schroeder rushed through the develoment stage of the relationship to get to the story, and in rushing through that stage there was little initial buy-in.
And then there is Rae, a much more self aware and at times confident than typical teen. She implores her mother several times to leave her stepfather. She is very much aware of unhealthy relationships and is actively seeking a way out. So her getting sucked into the relationship with Nathan was incongrous to the character as she was written in those few first dates.
But then, as I said, Rae herself starts to talk about the issues in the relationship and it makes sense again inside her character. As for people being too ashamed to speak openly about their lives, well, that is also one of the themes in this book that I mentioned. Rae has hidden the truth of her home life from all of her friends, and part of her blossoming happens when she starts to be honest and encourages her fellow classmates to be honest about the struggles that they have in life, their vulnerabilities.
In comparison, when you read books like Dreamland by Sarah Dessen, which are about abusive relationships, there is more development so they read more beliavable. Falling for You is not really a book about an abusive relationship per se, it is the story of Rae who happens to spend some time in an abusive relationship. It is a subtle but distinct difference.
I would argue though that there is value in education and in making sure that all people know the signs of an abusive relationship. Knowing the signs can help all people entering into relationships to be aware of red flags, to trust their instincts when things strike them as wrong in a relationship, to stop a relationship or not enter into one if they see those red flags. I have had people come in and do healthy relationship workshops with teens and part of their mission was to make sure that all teens knew the signs for themselves and to help call out friends if they saw it happening around them. Education is a huge key component in helping women of all ages. There are other issues involved, of course, also touched on as Rae talks about just the neediness she feels inside her, the desire to be special to someone, to be loved. And I think that was very realistically depicted.
I think that no one ever need be ashamed of the things that other people do to them. And sharing your story and speaking out helps to educate others. This is part of the reason that I speak openly about my experiences with HG, it is also the reason that I very actively work to educate about domestic violence, crimes against women, street harassment and more.
This is the longest reply to a comment ever, but I think what I am trying to say is that the first few encounters between Nathan and Rae weren't developed well but if you read past those encounters it all makes sense. And I don't disagree with anything you said in your comment.
Ahh, Nathan's immediate controlling behavior does sound unrealistic, and I understand what you mean now about it not being subtle and unusual that Rae would agree to a date. It certainly does sound like a development problem, unfortunately. On a separate note it does seem like there is still this trend/rise in glamorizing controlling boyfriends and unhealthy relationships: from Twilight to Beautiful Disaster, etc. I'm glad that this is not the case in Falling for You at least!!
Oh, and I hope I didn't come across as diminishing the importance of education in working to reduce violence against women. Education can do wonders, and knowing the red flags is very important. I've even helped create such programs, pilot test them, and I'm currently working as a volunteer with YWCA Canada who believes strongly in education. In regards to education, I just meant that we, as a society, cannot allow the fact that a woman has been educated on domestic violence be used to shame her for her experiences, if that makes sense. I get so passionate about issues like this and then sometimes have a hard time expressing myself. Just like how writing a review for a book you loved is hard, you know?
Educating and sharing one's experience has been a big part of feminist movements, and are integral for advocating for any issue. I know personally I have learned a lot about HG from your posts, and was recently able to help educate others when the newspapers in the UK (and around the world) were all Ohhh, isn't that cute? Duchess Kate is pregnant and has a bout of morning sickness. UM, NO it's a serious issue. & I learned that from you – so keep on keeping on!
The ways relationships are depicted in teen literature is a topic that I am especially sensitive about. I think teen readers are so vulnerable because they are really at a formative place, beginning to think about relationships and what they should look like. And we know that literature, that words and story, have the power to shape and mold the things we think and feel, the choices we make. Like you, I am concerned about the types of relationships depicted and how there is no there in the lives of the books saying THIS IS NOT HEALTHY, YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS. Which is one of the reasons that I ended up LOVING Falling for You. Rae says to herself, this is not healthy. She says to her friend, I am scared and her friend says, I am too. And then the relationship with Leo blooms. A great contrast in healthy and unhealthy. So while I did have problems with the development of that very first part, I think this book has so much to offer teen readers. I don't want teen readers to see the intensity of Nathan and swoon, I want them to see the intensity of Nathan and hear alarm bells – which I think they will.
I'll agree that the development did seem a little rushed, but I think the author put a few things in there that kept it from being an insta-love situation. Rae had never dated before, and was second guessing herself a lot at first, asking, "Is this just how guys are? Maybe I just don't get how this all works," a few times. Also, her friends are very encouraging of her relationship with Nathan. They're the "It" couple at school, and Rae likes how it feels to walk down the hall holding his hand and seeing other people's reactions. Another aspect that I don't think was mentioned much was that the cycle of abuse happens on both sides. Nathan's parents are depicted as having a pretty tumultuous relationship too, and his father is a famous author that Rae holds out some hope of meeting at the start of their relationship. I also think it's valuable to see that although Rae knows her mom is in an unhealthy relationship, it's hard for her to recognize that she is making similar mistakes at first, and that the extrication process is not cut and dry.
On a positive note, I LOVED her flower shop family! Such nice characters there.
I also LOVED her flower shop family. And I think this book is a great read for teens in showing the contrast between healthy and unhealthy relationships. I definitely, definitely recommend this book.

Campus News, Wolf Life
Sharpen your SRP skills and learn how to save lives
Written by Lori Robinson
Illustration by Madison Otten
Standard Response Protocol training for lockout/lockdown emergencies takes place later this month.
It's a new semester with new classes, books, friends, instructors and advisors. As students dig into studies at FRCC Westminster, an opportunity also arises for updated training in campus safety.
Expect a fire drill at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18.
Then on Thursday, Sept. 19, the Campus Security Department will host a campus-wide Standard Response Protocol training for lockout and lockdown procedures at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the Timberline Room, CO577.
It's the first of two SRP trainings scheduled for the 2019-2020 school year, with the second one slated for next February. On March 9, 10, or 11, 2020, the Westminster Campus Security Department will conduct an unannounced lockdown drill. As The Front Page reported last March, a lockout takes place when nearby activity threatens the health and safety of people outside the building. A lockdown, a drill for which Campus Safety conducted last spring, takes place when the threat is indoors.
Just over a month after the springtime lockdown drill, hundreds of schools throughout suburban Denver closed as authorities searched for Florida high school student Sol Pais. Investigations showed that Pais flew to Denver, purchased a firearm, and began making threats against Columbine High School.
Student Nicolette Hammell, 22, said she began learning about lockout/lockdown procedures as a kindergartener with story books on the subject.
"I'm telling you that was wild," Hammell said about the Pais incident. "Unfortunately it's becoming something we need to pay more attention to."
The Pais incident garnered nationwide attention.
"The 20th anniversary of the attack at Columbine High School was supposed to be marked with prayers and memorials," The New York Times reported in an April 17 article. "Instead, millions of parents, students and educators across Colorado awoke on Wednesday to news that an armed 18-year-old woman with an infatuation with the massacre had flown across the country to Colorado."
At the conclusion of what was described as a massive manhunt, authorities found Pais dead late April 17 of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at Mt. Evans, about 40 miles west of Columbine.
Campus Security Supervisor Jon R. VanZandt was among the law enforcement officers responding April 20, 1999, to the attack at Columbine High School that left 12 students and one teacher dead, and 20 years later, reportedly inspired Pais.
"I saw firsthand how not being prepared and having an actual emergency plan … " VanZandt recalled, "… I saw how chaotic that makes it seem. Nobody was prepared for something like that then.
"Now K through 12, they practice lockout/lockdown every month along with fire drills," the security supervisor said. "They're programmed with it. If you're locked out they know what to do. If you're locked down, they know what to do.
"At the college level, when you call for a lockout or a lockdown, people tend to have a much harder time dealing with this than the K-12 students who practice this on a monthly basis.
"The high school kids? I talk to them every day and I say, 'If you hear gunshots, what would you do?' 'I'd run out that door' — 'I'd hide right here' — they all have a plan. They're all mentally prepared.
"The adult world, they don't worry about all those intangibles," VanZandt added. "That's our job, to remind them. And we do. A lot."
Twenty days after the Pais suicide, at STEM School Highlands Ranch, "18-year-old Devon Erickson, and Alec McKineey, 16, were arrested and charged after the May 7 STEM school shooting," BuzzFeed News reported. "Authorities say they opened fire in a British literature class, room 107, during a screening of 'The Princess Bride'."
"One person died in the STEM shooting," BuzzFeed reported, "Kendrick Castillo, who was one of three students who rushed the older shooter to try to stop him."
Increasing incidences
"Public mass shootings are occurring more frequently in recent years," The Washington Post reported Aug. 5, "and they are claiming more lives." An uptick began after June 17, 2015, the newspaper said, when "a young white supremacist killed nine people at a Bible study in a historic African American church in Charleston, S.C."
Before Columbine, mass shootings in America took place roughly every six months, The Washington Post reported, adding, "After Charleston? One almost every six weeks."
Early in the week of Sept. 1, a 317-reference Wikipedia page on mass shootings in the United States so far this year counted 335 people killed to date.
Those included:
Two who were killed April 30 in the University of North Carolina at Charlotte shooting;
12 killed May 31 in the Virginia Beach shooting in a city public works building;
Four killed, including two children, July 28 at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, Calif.;
22 killed Aug. 3 at an El Paso Walmart;
Nine killed Aug. 4 outside a Dayton, Ohio, bar; and
Eight killed Aug. 31 in Odessa and Midland, Texas, in shootout originating with a traffic stop.
Campus commuters avoid some complications
Law enforcement officers throughout the nation have been tipped off about numerous attack plans in recent weeks, including a plan allegedly hatched by Paul Steber, 19, of Massachusetts. Police arrested Steber when they said they found weapons in his dorm room at High Point University in North Carolina, The Washington Post reported Aug. 29.
"Authorities found ammunition, a 9mm semiautomatic pistol and a double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun, High Point Police said in a news release," the newspaper reported, adding that Steber was charged with two felony counts of carrying weapons on campus and communicating a threat of mass violence on educational property.
Security Supervisor VanZandt indicated that life is less complicated at the Westminster Campus.
"Here we're fortunate," VanZandt said. "We don't have dormitories. Dormitories tend to have their own unique set of issues.
"We're a community college. People show up, go to class and leave," he added. "Ninety-eight percent of the people who come here come, get what they need and leave."
Over the past two years, the Westminster Campus Security Department has dealt with 135 incidents of vagrancy and panhandling-style offenses from non-student populations, VanZandt said.
"It's not OK to wander into a school and just walk around," he said.
Seasoned professional at your service
VanZandt's law enforcement career spans three decades, two decades of which were devoted to serving as a School Resource Officer and training others to become SROs.
"Never in my wildest dreams had I anticipated having the relationships with the students I have," VanZandt said. "If they need help, ask. No matter what it is, ask and we'll find a resource. There's always something available. Take advantage of everything that's offered to you."
What's more, the security supervisor said, "I tell students all the time. If you see something or hear something, say something."
Westminster student Terrell Schlegel, 20, said he feels "pretty comfortable" with lockout/lockdown procedures, but added that he's wary of SRP trainings in which actors use paintball guns to make the action more lifelike.
"That's creepy," Schlegel said.
No mock drills with paintball guns are planned for the Sept. 19 training. Brush up on your lockout/lockdown skills anytime with videos on the FRCC website, where you'll find a video narrated by Kristina Anderson, a survivor of the April 16, 2007, Virginia Tech shooting that claimed 33 lives. In her video, Anderson recommends receiving notifications on campus emergencies and closures via text. Please see the accompanying graphic for instructions on how to receive emergency notifications from FRCC.

I love being married. And as we approach our eight-year anniversary early next year, I thought of sharing some tidbits that I found made our relationship stronger over the years. My husband and I are the founders of Bride and Breakfast and Baby and Breakfast. But even being in the industry that celebrates weddings, marriage, and family, we too have had our up hills and tough roads to trek. I hope these will be something you take to heart and practice as you prepare for your wedding or go through your first few years of being husband and wife.
Marriage is about commitment–we all know that. But one thing we need to understand is that some things really need to be vocalized more than once. Some people say actions are louder than words, but my belief is actions and words go hand in hand. The longer you are married, the more reality sinks in, and you realize that it's not always as easy or as romantic every day. It goes a long way when my husband tells me "Hey, you are the only one for me no matter how old we get." I find myself asking him for assurance once in awhile even when there is nothing wrong with our relationship. When you are proactive in assuring your partner, insecurities and doubts are less likely to seep into your relationship. And yes actions are great, but words are also very powerful.
Sometimes when life happens, when family responsibilities take over our daily lives, we can forget to express words of admiration to our partners. It's not that we don't admire them, but rather, that we think that they already know that we admire them. And this may be the case for some, but not for all. Men and women both need to be affirmed. Whether it's affirmation of physical attributes, accomplishments, or character traits, these compliments will allow your spouse to have the confidence to strive to be even better versions of themselves. You might think it's cheesy but it's not. As long as your words are true, then your partners should hear it from you.
Disagreements will always be a part of any relationship. Through the years, we have figured out that communication is really the key to solving any disagreement. But communication alone is not the only thing that needs to happen, otherwise, it will just be all words (that sometimes are so piercing it actually causes more damage). Communication with the mindset of listening and understanding the deeper root of the argument is a must. Often times when I get upset, there is a deeper reason that I didn't even understand, not until my husband and I really start probing my personality, upbringing, and past experiences. And it's the same for him. These things will always play a role in issues between husband and wife. So the sooner you both realize the roots, the better you can address them in the future.
Affection will vary from one person to another. It's really nice to find out you and your partner's love languages, which is basically the way you project and receive love. It will pave the way for more patience and love towards each other, even in tough seasons of your marriage. If you are wondering what the five love languages are, it's quality time, physical touch, receiving gifts, words of affirmation, and acts of service. Try taking an online test, and see if it rings true.
I'm guilty of this. When my husband does something, I tend to already associate it to how he is. So when he does it again, I begin saying "You are so…" or "That's how you are…". But although we might be inclined to specific actions as people, we should never stamp judgment saying that your partner is just that and nothing will change. It's not healthy. For one, they will feel that no matter what they do, you've already made a decision on their character. Two, what's worse is they actually believe it themselves and start giving in to it since their closest ally, you, actually believe it about them. Fight the urge to put your partner in a box. Empower each other to break bad habits and improve each other's character.

Woman arrested for practicing medicine without a Florida license in Doral
Published: March 11, 2021, 6:12 PM Updated: March 12, 2021, 12:58 AM
DORAL, Fla. – Officers arrested a woman who is accused of practicing medicine without a license, as she performed a procedure on a patient on Thursday at a private office in Doral.
Alcalira Jimenez, 56, was working at the Millennium Antiaging & Surgery Center, 1450 NW 87 Ave. An officer said Jimenez tensed her arms and pulled away before he handcuffed her and escorted her to a patrol car.
More than a year before the arrest, a man told police officers that on Feb. 15, 2020, he visited Millennium Antiaging & Surgery Center because he wanted a nose job.
The man said he used a credit card to pay $2,000 for rhinoplasty surgery. He said he was awake while Jimenez performed the surgery, according to the police report.
The man told officers that he returned to the Millennium Antiaging & Surgery Center on May 30, 2020, and paid $800 for another rhinoplasty surgery with Jimenez. He was awake again.
"Throughout the following months of recovery, the victim realized his nose was not healing properly and appeared deformed," the officer wrote in the report.
The man told officers he contacted Jimenez to obtain her medical license number and medical malpractice insurance information, and she was unable to provide it. He said that's when he decided to report her to authorities.
The detective collected statements, photographs, and evidence of bank transactions, and also contacted the Florida Department of Health. The agency provided the detective with a certificate of non-licensure.
On Facebook, she lists herself as the owner and founder of the Millennium Antiaging & Surgery Center.
Records show Jimenez has been the registered agent of Milenium Corp. since 2014 and Millenium Medical PA, Inc. since 2018. The articles of incorporation for Milenium Corp. included the address of a plastic surgery office in Venezuela.
On Linkedin, she claims to have earned medical degrees from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the National Experimental University Francisco de Miranda in Venezuela. She lists other training and touts nearly three decades of experience.
Records show Jimenez was at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Thursday evening. She is facing charges of practicing medicine without a license and resisting an officer without violence. Her bond is set at $6,000.


Facility upgrade projects create unique challenges to the use and operations of a facility. These upgrades require a number of unique attributes to be applied for an effective project management approach.
As projects are put forward for consideration in current and future year capital investment budgets they will mature in a variety of ways. Long before a project is approved, an array of information is developed and revised. Tools will be needed to identify and reduce risk helping to see the total picture for each project. As design is developed all stakeholders will be informed. As projects shift from planning and design to implementation, the system allows the seamless ability to manage the construction through turnover.

GARRIOCH: The Ottawa Senators are in a holding pattern as they wait to hear what's next for 2020-21

The Ottawa Senators have all the pieces in place to start the 2020-21 campaign.
And, like everybody else they were hoping to get clarity on what to prepare for and a better idea on when training camp is going to get under way next month during a conference call with the board of governors held Thursday afternoon.
GARRIOCH: The Ottawa Senators are in a holding pattern as they wait to hear what's next for 2020-21 Back to video
Unfortunately, the Senators are in a holding pattern.
Yes, the ice is installed at the Canadian Tire Centre and it has been for a couple of weeks, but the next step for the organization is to allow the players to start skating there. That's expected to happen soon, but at this moment only Thomas Chabot, Artyem Zub and Erik Gudbranson are in town.
Forwards Nick Paul, Connor Brown and Chris Tierney ares skating in the Toronto area while newly-acquired goalie Matt Murray is at his home in the Muskoka area. Those players can be here pretty quickly but the NHL does have strict measures in place for informal workouts when the rink does open.
Prospects Drake Batherson (Halifax), Egor Sokolov (Haliax) and Alex Formenton (Toronto) can all be here in fairly short order. Batherson noted last week that he and Sokolov are in the Atlantic bubble so they don't to make a trip to Ontario only to have the province go through another lockdown.
With so many players overseas, the Senators need some of them to start making their way to North America as quickly as possible. However, some likely don't want to book flights or rent a piece of property here until there's something written in stone by the NHL and the union.
The 14-day quarantine is a hurdle every player coming from the United States, Europe and Russia will have to abide by initially. Yes, the players want to get back on the ice with their teammates, however, some want to know if the league is really going to start on Jan. 1 or does that just remain a target date.
As noted, the Senators will get an extra seven days of training camp because they didn't participate in the Return to Play in the summer. That means the league needs to have an agreement in place by Nov. 20 at the latest to give the Ottawa players time to quarantine before camp gets under way in early-December.
However, we need to be careful because we don't know what kind of negotiations have been taking place with the federal government. If the Senators have testing for COVID-19 readily available then it's possible those players could be regularly checked without having to self-isolate.
The Senators have made so many changes, they'll be just happy to have some kind of plan they can work with. Nothing is set in stone because of the threat of COVID-19, but you have to start somewhere and that's what the league is trying to do by setting Jan. 1 as a target date to start.
The Senators have a plan to have 6,000 people in the building with proper social distancing and the requirement of wearing a mask. During this long break , the club has spent $10 million upgrading its ventilation system and that should help create a safer atmosphere.
Yes, it was quiet around here when the Senators first went on pause March 11 after a game against the Los Angeles Kings at the Staples Center, but the last five weeks have been busy. Owner Eugene Melnyk committed to improve this team and has backed every move by general manager Pierre Dorion.
Not only was Murray signed, the club brought in winger Evgeni Dadonov as a unrestricted free agent from the Florida Panthers and agreed to a one-year deal with forward Alex Galchenyuk.
Gudbranson arrived in a trade from Anaheim, defenceman Josh Brown came in from the Anaheim Ducks and gritty forward Austin Watson came over in a deal with the Nashville Predators.
And, naturally there's a lot of excitement surrounding top pick Tim Stuetzle from Mannheim in Germany.
The Senators are looking forward to what the future holds for them and that's why they want to get back on the ice as quickly as possible. Melnyk and Dorion feel like the organization has made changes that will help the club improve.
With the pieces put in place and the young prospects in the organization such as Batherson, Formenton, Josh Norris, Erik Brannstrom, Logan Brown, Vitaly Abramaov and Joey Daccord, they see this year as a stepping stone towards getting back to respectability.
Of course, president of business operations Anthony LeBlanc, who has been charged with getting people back in the seats, is also waiting to find out what this season is going to look like.
It doesn't sound like there will be fans if the season does start on Jan. 1 but at some point the club is hoping to have some people in the seats.
You can be certain the Senators got some answers to their questions during the hour-long call Thursday but there's work to be done by the league before plans can go into action.

Like an oasis of this part of Istria and Croatia, qualities which are told by our many guests, like they are in one of european metropolises, in Milan we have shaped a place in which we also love to enjoy – cosy, proffessional, discrete, and with great attention to details.All that sorrounds our restaurant, hotel and enoteque suggests the desire that we want to create urban space in which will guest recognise that he comes first. Restaurant and hotel Milan is being run exclusively by our family, for 3 generations now. The philosophy itself has been changed only slightly – like that in everyone of us is interwowen same system of values in which we belive for 3 generations now.
Those values are attached to our belief in providing the best of Istrian territory in every Milan dish, relaxed sleep in hotel accommodation of the town which history begins in ancient times, and bussiness privacy in the facilities we treat as 'clubs'.
To our guests we want to give the best of experiences, both culinary and catering, which we collect all over the world. We want to share our part of our world with you and make time spent in Pula really pleasant and useful.


I don't know about you; but, I'm trying to squeeze as much fun out of this summer as I can. I've enjoyed family visits, creating new recipes from fresh organic produce, walking through local farmers' markets, and discovering new restaurants offering gluten free options.
I've learned a lot in this first year after my lupus diagnosis. There is just so much information I want to share with you. The greatest discovery I've made is that I could feel good again. Going AIP paleo gave me that. AIP paleo has helped me shed those unwanted pounds, streamline my diet to whole foods, gain energy I haven't had in years, and completely heal my leaky, sick gut. Although my lupus is not in total remission, I know it's just a matter of time and perseverance. I didn't get sick in one year; so, I can't expect to heal everything in one year.
One of the foods I miss the most, since going nightshade free, is spaghetti sauce. I've been able to add back most nightshades; but, not tomatoes. It's hard to do without some of my favorite foods like paleo pizza, lasagna, and chili. Poor me.
Today I have a real treat for you. I made this white chocolate strawberry bread pudding for my 45th birthday on Wednesday. The best part is that it's made with all paleo ingredients.
Remember, I don't create many dessert recipes. These are only to be enjoyed once in awhile, as a treat. This recipe has a lot of sugar in it. Even though it's coconut sugar and honey, it's still sugar. That being said, enjoy.
Make strawberry filling first by combining sugar and sliced strawberries in bowl. Press sugar into strawberries. Place in fridge for at least 20 minutes.
In large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and egg yolks. Set aside.
In large saucepan, combine all coconut milk and sugar.
Bring mixture to a low simmer and add white chocolate. Whisk until chocolate is melted.
Remove pan from heat and quickly stir in whisked eggs. Continue stirring to keep eggs from scrambling.
In a 9"X13" baking dish, place bread slices in one layer. Top with strawberry filling. Cover with another layer of bread slices.
Pour half of coconut milk mixture over bread slices. Gently press bread slices to ensure mixture is absorbed by bread.
When most of mixture has been absorbed, pour remaining mixture over bread. Gently press.
Cover dish with parchment paper, then foil.
Let soak for 5 hours in fridge.
After 5 hours, remove baking dish from fridge and set aside while oven preheats.
Bake covered for 1 hour on middle rack.
Remove foil. Bake for another 45 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Create sauce to pour on top of each serving by combining melted white chocolate and full fat coconut milk in a double boiler.
Serve individual portions with sauce ladled on top. You can also garnish with a strawberry and whipped cream made with a can of full fat coconut milk, 5 or 6 drops liquid stevia, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
Preparation time: Forever! It actually takes about 8 hours, start to finish.


A bit of House of Windsor fan fiction: cute but slight, though the re-creation of London's citywide VE Day celebrations is kind of amazing.
It is true that on the night of Victory in Europe in 1945, 19-year-old Princess Elizabeth (now the reigning monarch) and her 14-year-old sister, Margaret, did go out into public anonymously to join the citywide celebrations in the streets of London. What they actually did once free of palace constraints isn't known, and so A Royal Night Out is basically House of Windsor fan fiction, though we can presume that the cajoling that Elizabeth (the always wonderful Sarah Gadon: Dracula Untold) and Margaret (a sweetly cheeky Bel Powley) had to do to convince Mom and Dad — aka Queen Elizabeth (Emily Watson: Testament of Youth) and King George (Rupert Everett: Hysteria) — to let them go is probably close to factual. Beyond that, this cute but slight movie gets less convincing even as it remains passably enjoyable as a mildly irreverent caper, one that harkens back to the film comedies of that time. There isn't much there there; even the class-warfare banter Elizabeth engages in with soldier Jack (Jack Reynor: Transformers: Age of Extinction) is fairly bland, but they have little in common and they have to talk about something when he ends up as her reluctant chaperone for the evening after she loses Margaret and has to find her amidst the wild crowds on the streets she doesn't know. Director Julian Jarrold's (Becoming Jane) re-creation of VE night in London is amazing, though, even if it is seen only through the eyes of Elizabeth, who has next to no experience of everyday life for ordinary people and is flustered by coming into such close proximity with it at its most raucous. It keeps a time that must have been terribly exciting at a distance, which is a shame.
See also my #WhereAreTheWomen rating of A Royal Night Out for its representation of girls and women.


Deirdre and I had to drive into New York City yesterday to stay overnight and do some stuff. Little did we know that we'd spend the rest of the day seeing two politically charged and emotionally powerful films, one in a theater and another on TV. Oddly enough, both films involved water.
Water has been on my must-see list for months, and fortunately it was still playing at a theater in the East Village. Deepa Mehta's 2005 film takes place in 1938 in Varanasi, India. At the beginning of the movie, a newlywed named Chuyia suffers the loss of her husband. She becomes a widow, and under strict Hindu law will now be ostracized from society. Her head is shaved, she is dressed in a plain-white sari, and she is sent to a community of widows living on the banks of the Ganges, where she will ramain for the rest of her life. Chuyia is seven years old.
At first we view everything from Chuyia's perspective, but the film than veers off into another direction, and at first I thought Mehta had lost her way. I was wrong, and I was wrong again when I later thought the movie was drifting further from its focus. Deepa Mehta is a writer and director who knows exactly what she's doing. Water is certainly not a perfect movie — for one thing, the two romantic leads (played by Lisa Ray and John Abraham) look much too western and much too pretty — but it's gorgeously filmed and quite moving. And it took a lot of courage to make. Originally, Deepa Mehta tried to shoot the movie in Varanasi in 2000, but Hindu fundamentalists shut down the production. The movie resumed in Sri Lanka under a different title to avoid attracting attention.
Not much more than an hour after Deirdre and I staggered emotionally drained from the theater where we saw Water, we ordered Louisiana-style pizza from Two Boots and parked ourselves in front of the TV for the first half of the HBO documentary When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, directed by Spike Lee, about New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina.
I guess I was expecting a lot of news footage patched together with narration. Although there's certainly plenty of news footage in the documentary, what really makes When the Levees Broke work are the very many interviews with citizens of New Orleans who lived through the experience. Occasionally you'll hear Spike Lee's voice in the background, but there is no narration, and the power of the film comes from the pain and dignity of the people who had to deal first with a natural disaster, and then with sheer human incompetance.
The second part of When the Levees Broke is on HBO tonight, and I'm sure it will be frequently replayed and otherwise available. Based just on the first half, I think it representes some of Spike Lee's best work since his masterpiece, Do the Right Thing.

PS: A very important detail is that my Geforce 1050 does not run on the new Linux kernel I tried to update to. My video doesn't work after updating to the new and second last kernel.

A: I have solved the same problem.

This article is one of a series where I give my ideas on aspects of Reiki and/or energy work. The pages are intended to give some "food for thought" and some are only my viewpoint. While a number of facts may be included, you should decide for yourself how much (if any) of the content feels right to you.
As I mentioned in Part 1, when most students come to me for master level training, especially if they are new to my Reiki classes, they usually are very keen on anything to do with the Reiki attunement. In the distant class most will jump right away past the class checklist to the section on attunements, especially the sample videos I have (even though they are pretty old productions from 2001.) So this particular topic includes some thoughts I have shared on this very important part of the class.
By "integration" I am referring to how your body and various layers of your aura (etheric, emotional, mental, etc.) react to the energies of the attunement.
In a master class, when practicing on other students, at the least you can be assured they have already experienced Reiki attunements, including whatever style of Reik energy the class teacher has shared with the class. So the integration process may not be apparent right away. However due to the repetition of giving and receiving attunements during practice time in class, there may be a post class integration experience.
However in a Reiki 1 class, many students may have little experience with higher vibrational energies like Reiki. Here are some situations you may come across when teaching Reiki.
3.a above means that not everyone will have the same tolerance for a new energy, or even a repeated one from a re-attunement. I noticed this very early on in my teaching career just by observing students during and after attunement ceremonies. I usually walk students through a relaxation process and follow with a kind of simple meditation/visualization experience. The idea here is to distract the student to release his or her concerns of the current moment and get them to just relax and enjoy the attunement ceremony.
Depending on the number of students, there can be a lot of energy flowing throughout the room, affecting everyone, including me. As I move from student to student performing the attunement ceremony I might notice a lack of response with some, or even an alertness with others. Some are simply flowing with the energies in their own meditative space while others may be trying to watch (with eyes closed) or determine what is happening, step by step; still others may simply be so relaxed they are in an awake/sleep border state. Then after the ceremony, I let the students stay in their energy space, enjoying and exploring the enegies as they wish. They may take as long as they wish to do this and so I caution those who come out of the meditation sooner, to do so quietly. Some are very quick to revive, while I have had some stay more than 10 minutes in this space.
3.b relates to those people who have already exeprienced a Reiki class, or who may have had training in another healing energy style. There are now several different healing systems being taught in many places, and some people like to try out a variety of these to either allow for greater choices in their healing work, or to help them improve their own ability to heal or develop their energy potential. And some people are already natural healers in their own right. Many of the additions made to Reiki systems have come from other forms of healing. In fact the original set of techniques taught in the original Japanese Reiki society first came from a 1923 self published booklet on Tui Na that Usui's student Eguchi had purchased in the Tokyo area.
3.c implies that some students may have developed their energy potential just through daily exercise or application of Reiki or other energies. I think this would apply especially to someone with a healing business or working in a massage or similar type of clinic. It can also apply to someone who has a counselling service and who is constantly flowing their energy to their clients or healing subjects during sessions. The daily use of a healing energy over and over can serve to build up the natural energy that a person carries and resonates.
As the giver and setter of the energy space, you always experience the full attunement or reiju, just as the student or recipient does. In fact your experience may most likely be greater than the other person, since you are the one setting the energy space up and holding it during the attunement, just by the nature of the ceremony you are using. If you are skeptical of this, most likely independant clairvoyant observation would easily verify this.
The main catalyst for this ability seems to be the acquisition of the energy of the 4th Reiki symbol, what was thought of as "Empowerment" in Usui Sensei's teaching, but came to be known in Western Reiki as the "master" symbol. Empowerment was a Taoist vibration or inner frequencey that seemed to open a person up to a greater connection to his or her own higher self and beyond. In my "Reiki Analogies" article I used the example of the Reiki source within us being like an electrical fuse box in a home. In that example then, Empowerment would be like the transformer on the hydro pole outside that the home is hooked up. The transformer is conected to the main power line and acts as a tool to downstep what comes into the home or business depending on the use of electricity. Empowerment seems to activate as we need it, especially in an attunement or reiju situation, but also during regular healing sessions or other energy work. It is not limited to just Reiki use.
Thus it is possible to feel very buzzed as you perform the attunement ceremony. This might be thr case if you are using a long ceremony and have several students to attune. If you are very senstive to energies, that can heighten the effect. If so, take a moment to ground yourself or drink some water in between some students. This won't diminish the effects of the ceremony on them and it will help you to continue to the end. Also, if you have found yourself to be this sensitive, then do practice often in between classes to get more used to so much energy. You might even ask your Spirit helpers to help cut back on the effects of the energy on you.

Week Two: Day Four: Look Out Risko!
Meet Miguel Covarrubias. This guy is the forerunner of Hirshfield and Risko (who is pretty transparent in his borrowing from this talent. I have Professor David Tatham to thank for plugging me into this wonder today. We talked about Play and Work today with this engaging man. Other interesting artists he discussed was Hogarth... who was instrumental in the british legislation of graphic satire not being vulnerable to legal action/defamation. We also saw Eric Gill's sculpture of the North and West Wind. Love Eric Gill...the monkish man who lived stylishly, created beautiful type, illustration and sculpture and made a strong enough impression to be viable today. Love Sam Taylor-Wood. She is new to me...but inspiring, talented and has a broad message with a singular viewpoint in all of her pieces. Need to start thinking more like a cubist. Man, did they have some great energy around their work.
Messing with oil paints with the fabulous Greg Manchess. He is such a talent who is really coming on. He has relaxed around us...and we are getting more of him, more of his heart and thinking. He is an inspiration and a good move for Syracuse.
fellow students being ghosts of a memory--essentially a snapshot in time. I was so proud of all of these wonderful people, their work, their energy, and their excellence as people was an inspiration. They are a credit to our Big Orange School. I hope we can continue to stay in touch as they have been a source of comfort and confirmation to those of us with less confidence and work--than those of us who are established and skilled.
The class behind us is pretty wonderful too. And...we have 2 new members of our class...really upping the group--and upping the inspiration. We are blessed. Finished our Business Test. Just need to do a business plan. It's due September 29. Hopefully, we will have this done a month early. We have 2 papers for Mr. Professor Tatham...a picture for Chris Payne, a picture for Professor Manchess. No shortage of business!
images shown above are from Miguel Covarrubias. Are you taken with this? I am!

Generated by the presiding judge, probation is a sentence that allows the offender to reside in their community under the supervision of a probation officer. The decision is issued after careful study of the offender's background, behavior, and potential for success. The decision is also based on the thinking that rehabilitation of certain offenders may be impaired by incarceration. While under supervision of the Probation Department, misdemeanor offenders are responsible for complying with the conditions imposed by the Court by making referrals to rehabilitative, preventive or educational programs. It may also require restitution to crime victims, community service, and regular alcohol or drug testing.
The 52-2 District Court Probation Department has five Probation Officers, two Court Investigators and three Probation Clerks. In addition to supervision of offenders, the department conducts Pre-sentence Investigations and Substance Abuse Evaluations. The Probation Officers initiate and conduct Probation Violation Hearings when a violation occurs.
An appointment is usually required to speak to the Probation Officer.
Note: Probation files ARE NOT a part of the public record.
Additional Probation Forms can be found at the Michigan Courts Web Site.


Three Signs The Economy is Still Hurting • IX Publishing, Inc.
Why do we care what "the economy" is doing? You can't control the weather, but you can invest in a rain coat or an umbrella.
However, the economic data continues to disappoint the analysts.
Job growth is low/slow – The drop in the unemployment rate was driven by an 806,000 decline in the labor force. That puts the labor force participation rate at just 62.8%, a 35-year low.
On the other hand, a recent report on WOOD radio, in Grand Rapids, said: Big Investment Leads to More West Michigan Jobs – Nearly 450 new jobs and $52 million dollars in investment. The regional development organization The Right Place announced three new west Michigan developments that will improve the area's economic base – a "perfect storm" of new developments.
Anyone can quote "boring economic data." You are better than that. When you see storm clouds — you know the rain is coming, and that means a bigger harvest!
