Distribution of Intermittent Slow-Sand Filtration
Systems in Macuelizo, Honduras
Philip Turner, Robert Turner, Matthew Turner, and George Turner
Abstract: The purpose of this mission is to supplement a pre-existing deworming and
vitamin distribution program with the provision of sustainable access to clean drinking
water. This will be achieved specifically with the implementation of intermittent slow-
sand filters at the household level as well as in schools chiefly in the Municipality of
Macuelizo, Santa Barbara, Honduras, but also in the greater Valle de Quimistan.
Additional strategies include the promotion of hygiene education, proper water storage,
the distribution of shoes and sandals, basic first aid, and exploring the possibilities of
expanding deworming as a method of treating morbidity associated with helminthiasis,
primarily among children. Because of disparities in access to healthcare and aid this
work will be primarily focused on affecting the lives of the poorest in these communities.
Almost half the world's population suffers from diseases associated with insufficient or contaminated water and is at risk from waterborne and food borne diseases. Access to sources ofclean drinking water, sanitation facilities, and education about hygiene are necessary for goodpublic health. Fortunately intermittent slow sand water filters offer an effective and cheap way ofproviding clean water for households and schools. Likewise educational materials are abundantand readily available.
Diarrhoeal disease caused over three million deaths in 1995, 80% of which were among children under the age of five. It was estimated that 88% of that burden is attributable to unsafewater supply, sanitation and hygiene and is mostly concentrated on children in developingcountries. Approximately 5000 children die every day from diarrhea acquired from unsafedrinking water. (1-2) It is difficult to estimate the total burden of morbidity due to unsafe drinking water, but over 1 billion episodes of gastroenteritis and other infections are attributed to it each year. Thereare about 16 million cases of typhoid fever causing over 600,000 deaths a year. Epidemics ofcholera and dysentery cause severe disease, and high death rates. Worldwide, approximately 140million people develop dysentery each year, and about 600,000 die.(3). Seventy-nine millionpeople are estimated to be currently at risk of cholera infection in Africa, and the disease causes120,000 deaths a year.
Soilborne infections affect several million people a year, intestinal worm infections being the most prevalent. Depending upon severity these infections can lead to malnutrition,anaemia or retarded growth. Children are particularly susceptible to the effects and typicallyhave the largest number of worms. About 400 million school-age children are infected byroundworm, whipworm and/or hookworm. Roundworm and whipworm alone are estimated toaffect one-quarter of the world's population.(4) It was recently reported in Science magazine that rotaviruses leads to 20–60 deaths a year in the United States and about 600,000 in the developing world.(11) This is one of the manytroubling health statistics that illustrates the grotesque disparity between health care in thedeveloped and the developing world. Mortality among children under the age of 5 yearscurrently averages 6 per 1000 births in industrialized countries, but is as high as 91 per 1000 inthe developing world.(9) Substantial progress has been made in child health care in the developing world. In 1960, 105 out of 1000 children born in Latin America or the Caribbean died before their firstbirthday; by 1999 that figure had fallen to 30 in 1000. However, progress has been uneven withone common theme emerging: poor children lag behind their better-off peers. This is true notonly between the industrialized and developing world, but also among the poor within countries.
In Brazil over the period 1987 to 1992 the mortality in children under 5 in the poorest third of thepopulation was six times greater than among the richest 10% of children (113 vs 19 per 1000 livebirths).(5) Reductions in infant and under-5 mortality have been fastest among the richestcountries,(6) and rates of child mortality and malnutrition have fallen faster among the better-off.
(7) This is evidence of an unfortunate trend of increasing socioeconomic inequalities, andtherefore increasing inequalities in child healthcare. The standard of living in terms of quality ofchild healthcare operates through determinates such as access to save drinking water andsanitation, and socioeconomic inequalities are highly visible not only between countries but alsowithin them.
Lack of access to clean drinking water is a major feature of extreme poverty, which almost exclusively affects the poor in the developing world. This is especially true in expanding
urban areas, poor rural areas, and indigenous communities. Community and municipal water
treatment systems are frequently impractical and often unaffordable. Water filtration on the
house-hold level is the most reasonable alternative for these people. Intermittent slow sand water
filtration, also commonly known as Biosand Filtration , provides an affordable and effective (see
Materials and Methods) option for treating drinking water in urban and rural communities of the
developing world.
Funds are obtained from private donations in Boise, ID and throughout the United States. Water filters are purchased from the Aqua Pura Por El Mundo (Pure Water for the Worldof Rutland, VT) facility in Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, Honduras, and implemented in homesand schools in the Valle de Quimistan. During the implementation of the filters, educationalmaterials (thanks in part to CAWST of Calgary, Alberta) explaining the importance of cleanwater as well as those promoting good hygiene habits and disease prevention are distributed.
Water quality testing is carried out to investigate and demonstrate the effectiveness of the filtersas well as to analyze the quality of the municipal water and its seasonal variation using ColiscanWater Monitoring Kits (Microbiology Laboratories, Goshen, IN, USA). As stated above, thewater filters purchased by this organization are Biosand water filters. Biosand Filtration wasdeveloped by Dr. David Manz at the University of Calgary, Canada in the 1990's, and is nowused world wide. Modifications to conventional slow sand filter technology include: 1) reducingthe height of the supernatant to 5 cm to provide the schmutzdecke (the "biofilm") with sufficientoxygen for sporadic use, and 2) eliminating the need for sand bed removal through a "clean inplace" technique. Biosand water filters have proven to be effective in cleaning the water andimproving its taste, smell, and appearance. Biosand filters are excellent for widespread use inhousehold water treatment among the poor because they are: 1) easy to operate and maintain, 2)affordable and durable, 3) manufactured in local communities using local materials, and 4)require no chemicals or energy for use. In a field study conducted in Haiti, 107 Biosand filterswere found to have an average bacterial removal of 98.5% overall.(10) Results:
This was the fourth trip to Honduras and to Macuelizo in a period of 12 months. In June of 2007, twenty-five water filters were distributed by the Boise State University Clean WaterClub and its local Honduran partners in addition to the 10 installed in January of 2007. Aroundone hundred pairs of children's shoes and sandals along with vitamins and basic first aidmaterials were distributed. Antihelminthic medicine, 200 doses of Albendazol (400mg singleliquid dose), purchased from Farsiman Laboratories of San Pedro Sula were donated to AguaPura Por El Mundo. A donation of surplus of water quality testing equipment was also made tothe Aqua Pura Por El Mundo facility in Santa Barbara.
The purpose of the mission is to provide access to clean drinking water through the implementation of Biosand water filters in the Valle de Quimistan region of Santa Barbara,Honduras. This work will focus on affecting the lives of the poorest in this area. The purchase of40 water filters from Aqua Pura has been secured for a December-January 2007-08 return trip,however, we would like to increase this number to 65.

A: The problem is that you some mixed string literal and regex literal notations:
"/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)+@\w+([\.:]?\w+)+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,3})+$/"

"..." denotes a string literal, /.../ denotes a regex literal. While you can pass a string literal to String#match, the whole content of the string will be interpreted as the regex pattern. That means, given the above string, your code will only match of the test string literally contains /^...., which it doesn't.
Either use a string literal without the regex delimiters and escape all backslashes:
"^\\w+([\\.-]?\\w+)+@\\w+([\\.:]?\w+)+(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,3})+$"

or use a regex literal (preferable):
/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)+@\w+([\.:]?\w+)+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,3})+$/

The Festival of Britain is perhaps best known for its South Bank Exhibition promoting British science and art to the post-war world, but one of the most important elements was the Architecture Exhibition, based in Poplar in East London. This exhibition was used to demonstrate the principles of modern town planning that had been laid out by Abercrombie, in particular in his County of London Plan.
The project was named after George Lansbury, the Labour MP, London County Council (LCC) member and Poplar councillor. It was an effective demonstration of planning ideas adopted since the 1930s by influential planners, taking the village as a model and retaining the terraced house as a housing option among medium rise flats. Small squares and open spaces were favoured, with paved pedestrian spaces, all at lower than pre-war densities.
The guide is revealing of the broader thinking in English planning in the mid century. It provides an opportunity for looking at conflicts among advocates of different planning ideas in the period of reconstruction and the move by architects to regain control of LCC housing from the Valuer's Department. It offers the model of integrated professional specialisms that was seen as central to Modernism's mission. It is also an opportunity to describe in more detail the interaction of different professions, including, for example, a sociologist, employed by the LCC in the creation of a model for reconstruction.
Название: The International Exhibition of 1862 4 Volume Set
Издательство: Cambridge Academ
Описание: Replete with detailed engravings, this four-volume catalogue was published to accompany the International Exhibition of 1862. Held in South Kensington from May to November, the exhibition showcased the progress made in a diverse range of crafts, trades and industries since the Great Exhibition of 1851. Over 6 million visitors came to view the wares of more than 28,000 exhibitors from Britain, her empire and beyond. Featuring explanatory notes and covering such fields as mining, engineering, textiles, printing and photography, this remains an instructive resource for social and economic historians.

Название: Beyond Objecthood: The Exhibition as a Critical Form Since 1968
Издательство: MIT Press
Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
The rise of the exhibition as critical form and artistic medium, from Robert Smithson's antimodernist non-sites in 1968 to today's institutional gravitation toward the participatory.
In 1968, Robert Smithson reacted to Michael Fried's influential essay "Art and Objecthood" with a series of works called non-sites. While Fried described the spectator's connection with a work of art as a momentary visual engagement, Smithson's non-sites asked spectators to do something more: to take time looking, walking, seeing, reading, and thinking about the combination of objects, images, and texts installed in a gallery. In Beyond Objecthood, James Voorhies traces a genealogy of spectatorship through the rise of the exhibition as a critical form -- and artistic medium. Artists like Smithson, Group Material, and Michael Asher sought to reconfigure and expand the exhibition and the museum into something more active, open, and democratic, by inviting spectators into new and unexpected encounters with works of art and institutions. This practice was sharply critical of the ingrained characteristics long associated with art institutions and conventional exhibition-making; and yet, Voorhies finds, over time the critique has been diluted by efforts of the very institutions that now gravitate to the "participatory."
Beyond Objecthood focuses on innovative figures, artworks, and institutions that pioneered the exhibition as a critical form, tracing its evolution through the activities of curator Harald Szeemann, relational art, and New Institutionalism. Voorhies examines recent artistic and curatorial work by Liam Gillick, Thomas Hirschhorn, Carsten Holler, Maria Lind, Apolonija Sustersič, and others, at such institutions as Documenta, e-flux, Manifesta, and Office for Contemporary Art Norway, and he considers the continued potential of the exhibition as a critical form in a time when the differences between art and entertainment increasingly blur.

Frankly speaking, it's an unpleasant surprise to read Akamai's State of the Internet report for the second quarter this year.
While Indonesia has cybersecurity policies in place, implementation of these has room for improvement.
According to the quarterly study showing sources and methods of attacks worldwide, involving 175 countries, Indonesia claimed top spot as the originating country from which attacks were launched, overtaking China which dropped to second position.
Comparing data between the first two quarters, the number of attacks launched from Indonesia almost doubled from 21 to 38 percent. China saw its number dip from 34 percent in the first quarter, to 33 percent. The U.S. followed in the third place, contributing 6.9 percent of total attacks worldwide in the second quarter, down from 8.3 percent in the previous quarter.
Some of us might be aware that the number of public IPs in Indonesia, totaling nearly 6 million, is far behind China's hundreds of millions.
The study tracked IP addresses utilized by hackers who could capitalize these by hijacking certain countries' addresses and launching attacks from compromised computers, said Akamai, which monitors a third of the world's Internet traffic. Indeed, the hacker might be based elsewhere.
The latest report should serve as a wakeup call for the Indonesian government as well as private sector. From what we have observed thus far, even though the country already has national security policies that include dealing with cyberattacks and threats, the implementation of these policies leaves so much room for improvement.
Worse, only few users in the country have moderate and high IT literacy, with the majority of netizens understanding little about how dangerous the Internet can be and are careless with the way they interact online. They visit unsavory websites, and leave their personal computers unprotected by not installing antivirus and personal firewall, which will allow their personal information to be easily stolen by malicious hackers and expose their data to all types of threats ranging from scam, fraud, to theft.
The Akamai report indicates that urgent action is needed. Relevant stakeholders might want to deep dive into the study and follow up with the necessary moves to secure their physical and digital assets.

Today I uploaded binaries and manuals for the Stunts/4D Sports Driving game tools Opponent Blaster (OB) and Replay Analyzer (RA). I wrote both back in 1998, 20 years ago! Unfortunately source code for Turbo Pascal has been lost.
I found OB and RA archived on http://www.kalpen.de/luke/4dtools.html (OB) and http://www.kalpen.de/luke/4dreplays.html (RA) and decided to give it a "new" home.
Trivia: I never received a postcard in the last 20 years, although the tools were released as postcardware.

Bird Lovers Come Out Against Exclusive Golf Club's Proposal To Expand Inside Liberty State Park
Filed Under:Jersey City, Liberty National Golf Club, Liberty National Golf Course, Liberty State Park, Local TV, Meg Baker
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — A private golf course looking to expand in Liberty State Park is sparking a huge controversy.
Some bird lovers say an expansion could mean forcing out some rare birds, CBS2's Meg Baker reported Thursday.
Liberty State Park has been protected for decades. The big debate now is should its neighboring private golf course, Liberty National, be allowed to expand onto public land.
Advocates for the park, the group Friends of Liberty State Park, say absolutely not.
"The whole park was bought with state and federal funds to be an open space treasure for the local population, for the state and for our nation," said Sam Pesin, the group's president.
The exclusive golf club wants to expand into waterfront land known as Caven Point, a marshy bay-front beach area that has been under special protection from development for more than 40 years, and create three news holes on the banks of New York Harbor. Spokesman Eric Shuffler said doing so will help the club draw more high-profile PGA Tour events that create economic benefits for the state.
"We are at risk of losing the PGA Tour in New Jersey if we are not able to make these changes," Shuffler said.
Environmentalists told Baker that plan would disrupt a migratory bird habitat. So sensitive is the situation, visitors are only allowed to walk through the area from March to October. The other half of the year the wildlife is too fragile.
"Liberty State Park has close to 300 species of birds have been recorded here. Two years ago the snowy owl sat down on Caven Point. It was a big thrill for all the birders in the area," said Rick Cordner, Friends of Liberty State Park treasurer.
Added Pesin: "He just wants millionaires to play golf right by the bay, no matter what the consequences are."
Liberty National was built on top of what was once a landfill. Shuffler said in exchange for part of Caven Point, the golf club said it would make other investments.
"We are talking about improving ball fields, basketball courts," he said.
The Liberty State Park Protection Act would prevent private developers from disrupting the public land. Assemblyman Raj Mukherji is the lead sponsor of the Act.
"If they could do it to Liberty State Park, no park is safe," Mukherji said.
The Senate is set to vote on the bill on Monday. It is not yet on the Assembly's agenda.
A spokesperson for Gov. Phil Murphy said the governor believes that Liberty State Park is a Garden State treasure that belongs to every family, adding that he is a strong supporter of protecting public lands for the benefit of everyone.


Congratulations! You made it through the trenches where most dreams die — the web-based interview! However, you're not out of the woods yet. I've met plenty of CP hopefuls who confidently got to the phone interview and had it all fall apart because they weren't prepared.
This is the first and only time in your application process where a human will talk to you. Keep that in mind. This is the ONLY time you have to express exactly why you want to be part of this program, why Disney means a lot to you, why you deserve to be working for Mickey Mouse. You get one shot. Make it count.
The DCP website keeps a few questions online to ask potential candidates. "Why do you want to work for Disney?" "What do you think you can bring to the program? Why?" "How do you hope this program will impact your future?" Those questions are just a taste of what an interviewer could ask you.
Know the roles. Disney will consider you for ANY (and I mean ANY) role in which you showed interest. For example, I put a 1 (low interest) for parking/transit, but I hate driving. My interviewer asked if I would be comfortable with my list of interests, and I asked her to remove parking from my selections. She said that's fine, and I continued my interview with four choices: Photopass, Attractions, Merchandise, and Character Attendant. Read over the role descriptions before your interview and MAKE SURE you're okay with anything listed under each description.
Be prepared. Those questions Disney posts online? Yeah, they actually ask you those verbatim. I scribbled out each answer I had to the three questions and read those answers back to my interviewer. She didn't see the notepad on my lap during the interview, but she probably noticed I'd thought a lot about why I wanted to work for the company.
Smile. Seriously. Smiling will keep you upbeat and in a pretty good mood throughout what can be a stressful interview. Also, I can pretty much guarantee the interviewer on the other end of the line will be smiling just as much as you. With both phone interviews in two programs, I've left my interviews feeling confident and happy rather than petrified and nervous. That's largely because my interviewer was genuinely rooting for me and I could smile throughout the process.
They're rooting for you. Recruiters know how incredible a program DCP is. They want as many students as possible to experience it. They want you to succeed. Don't ever feel like they're out to get you with a trick question. If you don't understand a question, as your interviewer for further explanation.
Dress to impress. No, the person on the other end won't see you. You should still treat this opportunity like a business venture and dress in something you'd wear to an in-person interview. Dress in a way that makes you comfortable and confident. I've had people swear they've worn pajamas to the phone interview and made it. Congrats to them that unprofessionalism bade well for once. I hope they never brag about that to any other employers, as that's just a really sad accomplishment. You might as well start practicing professionalism now. "The Disney Look" is definitely something you can get a head start on before your DCP begins.
Be personal. Be the best you that you can be. Disney is looking for individuals rather than carbon copies of Mickey Mouse. They want types of people for certain roles, sure, but they want people whose different backgrounds and experiences can contribute to a diverse and thriving work location. Don't give answers you'd think Walt would love to hear. Give answers you're comfortable with and honest about. If you're truly meant to work for Disney, then your answers will align with what the Company looks for in applicants.

Oxygen Stands by "All My Babies' Mamas"
RUSH: Yesterday, we happened to tell you about an upcoming new television show on the Oxygen network called All My Babies' Mamas. All My Babies' Mamas follows a rapper — his name is Shawty Lo — and the 11 children that he has fathered with ten different women. It's going to start airing sometime in the spring. It was highly touted, a lot of anticipation. But apparently the advocacy group Parents Television Council has this week turned its attention to this show, All My Babies' Mamas.
They're trying to get this thing canceled. They have a statement: "Advocacy group the Parents Television Council (PTC) has this week turned its attention to OxygenÂ's in-development reality television special All My Babies' Mamas, which features rapper Shawty Lo and the 11 children he has fathered with ten different women. 'Hollywood doesn't think there is such a thing as "too low," so it will continue to find even more base material,' Dan Isett, director for public policy at the PTC, told FOX411's Pop Tarts column.
"'The premise of this show is crass, irresponsible and exploitative. Oxygen should be more responsible. And, yes, we hold advertisers publicly accountable for their sponsorship of this program.'" Now, "it seems the network has no intention of backing away from" this. "'OxygenÂ's one-hour special in development is not meant to be a stereotypical representation of everyday life for any one demographic or cross section of society,' an Oxygen rep stated.
"'It is a look at one unique family and their complicated, intertwined life. Oxygen MediaÂ's diverse team of creative executives will continue developing the show with this point of view.'" So they're not folding on this. The Parents Television Council is trying to dump all kinds of societal pressure on 'em and Oxygen basically blew 'em off. They said: We have a show here, All My Babies' Mamas. It features a rapper (in Atlanta, by the way) who has fathered 11 children with ten different women.
I think that beats Antonio Cromartie of the New York Jets. Remember, he couldn't name all of his kids one night on Monday Night Football. He didn't know their names. He didn't know all their names, and I think he's got eight kids with five women or something like that. But this rapper, Shawty Lo — S-h-a-w-t-y, Shawty Lo — has 11 children by ten different women, and they're gonna follow this guy around in Atlanta on All My Babies' Mamas.
Again: Oxygen, in defending the show, said our show "is not meant to be a stereotypical representation of everyday life for any one demographic or cross section of society. It is a look at one unique family and their complicated, intertwined life," and they're going to follow them around and show America what this family's life is like. This is Realville. They're not backing off of this. I'm surprised people would think they would back off of this.
If you look at the illegitimacy rates in the country, if you look at the percentage of single-mother households, this thing is gonna have a huge audience, sadly. This has become a lifestyle to be… I don't know if it's admired, but clearly these people are going to become famous, and they're going to become all kinds of other things. Sympathetic. Admired. How do you think this family is gonna be presented?
Do you think this network is going to frown on any of this? This network's gonna build them up, talk about the challenges they conquer each and every day, talk about how tough life is in America and what they do to meet those challenges. There will be interviews, and we'll be sympathizing with them. (Well, those who watch will be sympathizing.) But as I say, why would Oxygen back off?
They know who their audience is. If you look at the statistics, again, I'm just gonna tell you: The illegitimacy rate and the percentage of single-mother households, how many of these types of families are there? How many families are there where some guy has multiple kids with multiple women? Oxygen is obviously thinking that there's a sizeable audience to be reached here, and they are probably right.
Now Oxygen is acting offended that anybody would be upset with this. And that's how they're trying to cover it all up. They're acting offended, which is an interesting study on how to react if somebody accuses you of having ill intentions. I'll tell you what's gonna happen here, folks. I mean, this is the new reality. This is going to be a lifestyle to be admired when this program is over.
When they finish following Shawty Lo around Atlanta with his 11 kids and ten different mothers, it will end up being a lifestyle to be admired. Why else would they do this? You think Oxygen's gonna condemn this in the midst of it? Do you think Shawty Lo, the rapper here, would agree to do this if he's gonna be creamed? He's gonna be a bigger star. He's gonna become an answer on game shows, a question on Jeopardy.
You never know. The sky is the limit! TMZ will make a big deal out of the guy. He'll have enough money to buy a house and put all these people in it, and that will make the National Enquirer, and there will be pictures of the house and the interior and all the bedrooms where all the mothers and the kids are gonna live — and all the cars and all the garages — and the Oxygen network is going to reap huge profit.
Uh! Uh! Uh!
Bad word.
Oxygen will be acclaimed for having guts and courage to break new ground in television programming.
RUSH: Maggie, Round Hill, Virginia, hello, and welcome to the EIB Network.
CALLER: Oh, thank you, Rush, it's such an honor to talk to you. I've been listening to you for about two decades. I wanted to comment on that new show that they're planning on putting on Oxygen.
RUSH: All My Babies' Mamas.
CALLER: That's the one. You know, first of all, I find it to be a complete attack on the nuclear family. They're degrading family life when they promote this kind of thing. They're saying it's okay to just fornicate with whomever. And, you know, if it's okay to show something like this, where a man has all these women, all these children by all these different woman. Maybe he has one wife. Maybe he has no wife. Then why don't we just do a show on women who have all these children by different men because you know that happens all the time —
RUSH: You're missing the point.
CALLER: All right.
RUSH: Your insistence on the nuclear family, mom and dad, the 2.8 kids and the white picket fence and the family dog, that's exclusionary. You are denying people equality, family equality. It's none of your business how people choose to live. If a guy wants to have ten mothers and 11 kids, it's none of your business, and we're gonna have a TV show chronicling how the guy does it. He's gonna end up being admired, and you are going to be thought of as a bigot if you continue with this attitude.
RUSH: Shawty Lo, the star of All My Babies' Mamas, says don't criticize him, he has taken care of his family because he's a millionaire. He used to deal drugs, his own admission, but don't criticize him. He takes care of his family. And we will see you tomorrow.

Southern Fiction At It's Finest! Mary Morony's Apron Strings Trilogy – 1st two books available now at Amazon.com
Mary Morony's first novel in the Apron Strings Trilogy, Apron Strings, was released in 2014 and is touted as a "truly compelling novel" reminiscent of To Kill A Mockingbird and The Help. This novel's story begins in the late 1950s when the state of Virginia attempted to desegregate the public school system. Morony's story rings true with history. It recounts the confusion and bigotry as seen from both sides of the issue. Her characters are compelling and relatable, with personal triumphs and tragedies of their own. Morony develops a true-to-life story. She really lets readers see into the characters' very souls.
Trauma Drama
You'll find that the characters in Apron Strings lead dramatic, exciting, and sometimes tragic lives; but their strength of heart and character give them power to move forward. Individual experiences, true and honest thoughts and actions come through in Morony's text to make this novel truly endearing.
Get a sneak peek at Apron Strings right HERE.
The second novel in the Apron Strings Trilogy is Done Growed Up When we last left the Mackey Family in the late 1950s, their lives were in turmoil. Divorce, alcoholism, racism, death, puberty – what WEREN'T they dealing with? Ethel, a black maid in a racist world – the true heart and soul of the Mackey Family, is the children's only constant as she fights her own numerous demons. Twelve-year-old Sallee struggles to understand the world with little enlightenment from the adults around her. Ginny, newly divorced mother of four, finds that she doesn't have the luxury of being the spoiled princess she once was. She is overwhelmed with responsibility, feelings of abandonment, and alcoholism. Joe, Ginny's ex, and the children's father, revels in new-found wealth and popularity with women, but agonizes over his children and the dangers within their broken family.
These characters and more will draw you into heartwarming moments and terrible tragedies and, maybe, teach you a few things in the process! "I feel like the trauma in my life has been a gift," Morony says. "I felt compelled to pass on what I have learned to overcome those traumatic experiences. The Mackey Family was replete with candidates for counseling in Apron Strings. In Done Growed Up, the characters find methods to deal with their addictions, obsessions and anger."
Get a sneak peek at Done Growed Up right HERE.
The third and final novel in the Apron Strings Trilogy is aptly entitled If It Ain't One Thing… One of best things about this latest novel is it is set almost fifty years later than the first two. Besides most of the original characters, there is a whole new generation of Mackeys, plus in-laws and outlaws.
The gang's all here, for the most part, and are all gearing up for the wedding of the century. Sallee's self-centered and petulant daughter, Virginia, wants a Christmas wedding with every bell, whistle and gem-encrusted ornament. Burning up Sallee's American Express card at every turn, Virginia has also decided on the perfect venue for her nuptials – her grandparents, Joe and Ginny's place. Though a huge undertaking, the Mackey's seem a more concerned with the fact that they know very little about the impending groom.
To Live Or Die
Virginia is surrounded by her family – all of the people who love her unconditionally. It should be the best time of her life. Why does she feel so alone.

Naturist Blogs
By V Saxena
Naturist blogs permit individuals who relish nudity to network among themselves. They also provide an entry way that allows newcomers to learn about the naturist culture. The crux of the movement lies with the phrase "Nude is not lewd," in that the promotion of health and community through nudism isn't perversion; it's just an alternative means to happiness.

Middlesbrough Reads launches a Facebook page
Middlesbrough Reads has launched a Facebook page so that we can continue to support families during the lockdown period.
Much of our work in Middlesbrough is delivered by Early Years settings and local schools. We therefore rely on direct contact with families, schools, and local partners to have the biggest impact. As a result, we have adapted our approach to ensure that we can continue to support literacy in Middlesbrough during a time of uncertainty.
The Facebook page allows us to keep in touch with local families and create tailored activities specifically for children who live in Middlesbrough. We're featuring resources from authors who have had a local impact, tips & tricks for reluctant readers, a Q&A with our Hub Manager, and we even have a local competition in the pipeline too!
Reaching disadvantaged families during lockdown is vital, as maintaining good literacy and reading habits can prevent children from falling behind their peers. Our research shows that children who enjoy reading have better life chances and are more likely to perform well at school.
We're also using the Facebook page as a way to prevent parents from feeling overwhelmed by the vast amount of resources out there. We're signposting to videos, activities, and apps that are available on our Family Zone – a one-stop-shop full of free, high quality resources.
We want the page to be a space where people can ask us questions and share ideas with other families. We're also open to hear what people want to get out of Middlesbrough Reads during these challenging times.
"The Middlesbrough Reads Facebook page is a great way to keep in touch with local families during these difficult times. Although we've only been live for a couple of weeks, we're seeing lots of people coming to the page an engaging with the ideas we're sharing. Working in a virtual way gives us an opportunity to be creative with ways to support children's development, and it's certainly keeps the community spirit going".

Dimitri Payet has been brutal in his assessment of West Ham's season before he left and it's no surprise that the Hammers fans' hate figure has taken a beating on social media.
Payet's comments to L'Equipe that he felt the club was going backwards under the defensive tactics of Slaven Bilic have not gone down at all well with supporters.
Also, Payet revealed he has discussed his exit from the club as soon as Euro 2016 finished – an incredibly deviant thing to do – before eventually sealing his £25m to Marseille in January.
A lot of the social media reaction to Payet we can't really print but we have waded through the thousands of tweets to bring a few that we can publish.
In case you had forgotten, the 29-year-old threw a tantrum and demanded to transferred back to his former club. He was banished from the first team squad by Slaven Bilic and forced to train with the U23s at Chadwell Heath.
It appears the turning point was the West Ham's 1-0 win over Hull City back in March when the Tigers hit the post four times in defeat.

In today's dung beetles, echoes of a lost world — and hints of a new one
Witness the humble dung beetle: slightly ridiculous, certainly uncelebrated, and also quite useful. In their fossils can be glimpsed a richness lost to human memory — and, perhaps, a guide for bringing that richness back, or at least not losing any more.
By Brandon Keim
Witness the humble dung beetle: slightly ridiculous in our eyes, certainly uncelebrated, and also quite useful. Nutrient-cyclers and soil-fertilizers, an army of assistant gardeners tending to Earth's landscapes. And in their fossils can be glimpsed a richness lost to human memory — and, perhaps, a guide for bringing that richness back, or at least not losing any more.
In a study published in the journal Oikos, biologists Andreas Schweiger and Jens-Christan Svenning of Aarhus University describe their analysis of dung beetle fossils found across Europe and dating from 53,000 years ago to the near-present. The beetles, they explain, are signifiers. Having co-evolved with large-bodied animals, whose feces they use for food and shelter, they ought to have been affected by megafauna extinctions at the end of the last Ice Age.
Likely caused by the hunting proficiency and land use of early humans, those extinctions are particularly fascinating to ecologists. Dozens of species vanished: aurochs and woolly mammoth, cave bears and giant deer, a whole menagerie of enormous mammals. The ecological consequences were likely profound. Lost as they are to prehistory, though, it's difficult to know what those losses even were.
Enter the dung beetle fossils. Schweiger and Svenning found they've become markedly smaller over the last 53,000 years, shrinking from an average length of about nine millimeters to just over six millimeters today. Most of that decrease occurred around 6,300 years ago — precisely the time when megafauna collapsed across Europe. With less food available, small dung beetle species replaced large dung beetle species.
Apart from the symbolism, this diminishment represents a loss of functional diversity. "By processing the feces of large animals," write the researchers, "dung beetles facilitate ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling and soil fertilization, bioturbation and aeration as well as secondary seed dispersal with advantageous effects on seed germination, plant growth and distribution." They literally make Earth richer. Some of that potential was lost — and what remains is at risk.

An estimated 60% of the world's largest animals are presently classified as threatened with extinction. Terrestrial mammalian body sizes are on track to become smaller than they've been in the last 45 million years. The declines will likely downsize dung beetle communities even more, write Schweiger and Svenning, "with strong consequences for ecosystem integrity, functioning and service provisioning."
"To facilitate the maintenance of functional ecosystems in a human-dominated world," they write, people ought to appreciate dung beetles and the big animals who make them possible. By protecting and restoring them, "future nature management initiatives could halt or even reverse this functional diversity loss." Dung beetles — and nature in the Anthropocene — might flourish again.

Cabinet Replacement New Ulm | News | Messner Builders Inc.
When it comes to bathroom remodeling in Mankato, MN, your choice in cabinetry can make a big effect. The right set of storage units make a bathroom feel airy, open, and easy to maneuver. The wrong set can leave your personal spa feeling cramped, unwelcoming, and outdated. If you want to make a splash in the bathroom, try out these three fresh cabinetry trends. Each is available in a full spectrum of paint colors and finishes.
Minimalism may be on trend, but it also isn't going anywhere anytime soon. That is because minimalist bathroom cabinets in New Ulm, MN, complement a wide variety of styles and look effortlessly sleek. Straight, geometric lines and a lack of ornamentation hallmark minimalist cabinets. If you don't want to go with completely plain cabinets, the shaker style makes an excellent alternative.
Another look that is right on trend in the bathroom is farmhouse style. While farmhouse cabinets are similar to minimalist ones in that they share straight, geometric lines, the former offers a punch of the rustic and cozy. If you want to invoke a relaxing feeling in your bathroom, look to farmhouse style cabinets to achieve spa-like perfection. They also look fantastic in the kitchen!
Storage solutions in Hutchinson, MN, do not always have to include traditional cabinets. If you are exceedingly cramped for space or simply want to open things up, you may want to consider ditching conventional cabinetry altogether. Instead, opt for the on-point and always-attractive open shelving. Although you may have to put a little extra effort into organization, our designers still love open shelving for its modern look and versatility.
These are just some of the most popular trends in bathroom cabinetry, but are far from the only options for discerning designers. Talk to your local contractor about how to maximize your bathroom space.
Windows in Mankato, MN, play a tremendous part in the efficiency and aesthetic of your home. When they are new and undamaged, they help to protect furnishings and keep your heater working smoothly throughout winter. When they are damaged or outdated, however, you could find yourself with a hefty energy bill among other problems. Here are a few key signs your windows need to be replaced.
Modern windows are excellent at protecting paint and furniture from fading. Coated, double panes prevent sunlight and UV rays from penetrating into the home. This gives you long-lasting paint performance among other financial benefits. If you have noticed yellowing or fading on furnishings near windows, don't think twice about upgrading.
Another sign it is time to invest in window replacement in St. Peter, MN, is when you know your current models aren't giving you adequate insulation. Old windows can sacrifice a significant amount of energy and heat-loss, creating a spike in your monthly utilities bill during winter. To keep your home cozy and your costs low, invest in new windows.
A great reason to consider upgrading windows is when you want a fresh look for your exterior. Today's models are available in a wide variety of styles and colors, giving your more options in customization than ever before. In fact, new windows are a great way to add overall value to your home, regardless of whether or not you plan to sell.
Lastly, there may be no better prompt to rip out your old windows than their old age. If your current editions were installed more than 15 years ago, it is likely time to replace them with something modern.
For more information about windows and new construction in Winthrop, MN, or to schedule a design consultation, talk to your local contractors.
Kitchen cabinets are more than just lockers for dishes, glassware and snacks; they are practical organizers and storage solutions in St. Peter, MN. Beyond keeping clutter to a minimum, cabinets can also transform the look of a kitchen without investing in heavy-duty renovation. If you have been searching for the answer to your kitchen space puzzle, look no further than a new set of cabinets to bring the pieces together.
One of the most pragmatic ways in which kitchen cabinets in Mankato, MN, improve area is to house items that would otherwise be left on the counter. Countertop space is a hot commodity in kitchens, and it looks best when clear of clutter. If you find yourself constantly fighting to keep clean counters, yet your cabinets are already full, consider installing an additional small set or replace them altogether with higher-capacity models.
Does your kitchen have unusable wall space? Perhaps there is an extra foot or two separating cabinets from the ceiling, or you have an awkward area above the kitchen sink. Regardless of what the space issue is, custom cabinets in Winthrop, MN, can provide the answer. Pushing cabinets to be flush with the ceiling ensures no space goes to waste. Alternatively, adding simple open shelving above the sink can store even more kitchen items and appliances.
One of the best ways cabinets transform kitchen area is, of course, stylistically. Many homeowners are surprised by the drastic difference a new set of cabinets achieves. Whether they help create a whole new color scheme or update your kitchen to a modern look, installing new cabinets is one of the easiest ways to give the busiest room in your home a makeover.
These are just some of the ways in which cabinets improve kitchen area.
Whether you are designing your ideal master bedroom closet with new construction in Hutchinson, MN, or you want to upgrade your current, less-than-inspiring situation, there are many great motivations to invest in custom storage. Not only does tailored storage give you the option to add organization anywhere you need it, but also to improve the flow of your area. Here are four reasons to get creative with storage space.
Although most homes are built with storage in mind, space isn't always taken into consideration. Some areas come predesigned with bulky closets, while others lack adequate storage altogether. If you are already pressed for area, consider tearing out your current closet and investing in custom storage solutions in Mankato, MN. This gives you the ability to maximize the space you do have and rearrange to put the new closet where it is out of the way.
On the other side of the storage spectrum, you may have a space with not enough organization. In the laundry room, for example, it is common for clothes, shoes and linens to pile up. Although some laundry rooms may come affixed with one or two cabinets, many homeowners benefit from having a full-fledged closet in this space. When you invest in custom storage, you can get exactly the organization you need, exactly where you need it.
Speaking of organization: It's one of the best perks of renovating! Reducing clutter and keeping a clean home are proven to lower stress and promote wellbeing, among countless other benefits. Rearranging or adding capacity to kitchen cabinets, for example, can prevent items from accumulating on precious countertop space.
Is It Too Late to Take on My Renovation Project?
Although October in Minnesota can certainly bring a blizzard or two, it can also still be a great month to get that home remodeling project accomplished. Depending on the size and scale of your desired renovation, you can still squeeze in a number of projects before the holidays arrive. Here are a few reasons why October is still a fantastic time to remodel.
Contractors have the highest demand for their construction services in Mankato, MN, during the summer months. Most homeowners aim to finish their projects throughout the months of June, July, and August so construction does not interfere with back-to-school or the holidays. While these are both great reasons to schedule a summer project, these are also two reasons you will encounter higher prices and demand. By holding off on home remodeling in St. Peter until fall, you beat the rush and the elevated prices.
Unless you happen to have scheduled multiple room additions in Winthrop, MN, during a blizzard, you are unlikely to experience significant delays. It is true that bad weather can delay a project, but this is only true if it involves extended hours in the outdoors. Window replacements, storage expansion, and indoor remodeling projects all get green lights for October work.
Contractors are able to accommodate most construction projects within a matter of weeks, however it always depends on the scale. By scheduling October, there is a high likelihood that you will still be done with renovations in time to enjoy them by the holidays. You will also be able to take advantage of the fact that there is lower demand, meaning your contractors can work efficiently to get the job done fast.
For these reasons and more, don't hesitate to make October your month to remodel!
If you need a little help selling your home, there may be a few key remodeling projects that could help you not only attract buyers, but also raise your asking price. From investing in that new master bedroom closet to ripping out those outdated bathroom cabinets, the potential is nearly endless. Here are four remodeling projects that are guaranteed to attract prospective buyers.
Every house comes with a closet, but not all are equipped with modern storage solutions in Hutchinson, MN. Give your master bedroom the wardrobe it deserves with the expansion of your existing closet. Buyers are instantly drawn to the appeal of a spacious closet, and it makes eliminating clutter a breeze.
Kitchen remodeling in Winthrop, MN, is a proven way to lift value and garner offers from homebuyers. This is especially true if it includes modern appliances and a clean aesthetic. Function also matters, so give your kitchen a boost in utility if it is lacking. This can be accomplished with a new kitchen island or improved cabinetry.
Speaking of cabinetry, this often makes a drastic difference in the overall look of a bathroom. When undertaking bathroom remodeling in New Ulm, MN, pay extra attention to the size and style of your cabinets. They can transform an outdated bathroom to one that is sleek, airy, and on trend. All of these qualities are features buyers crave.
If you have the budget and space for it, consider adding a new room to your home altogether! The extra square footage could mean a significant difference in your asking price. In the meantime, it also increases livable space.
These are just some of the best construction projects for attracting homebuyers, but are far from the only options available. Talk to your general contractor to learn more.
When it comes to reorganization, most of us are quick to jump to our bedroom closets as the spaces most in need of structure. While it is certainly true that your master bedroom could benefit from enhanced storage solutions in Winthrop, MN, there are also several other places round the house where clutter likes to collect. If you really want to get organized, consider adding storage space to these four areas.
The laundry room can see quite a bit of action. From dirty clothes to cleaning products, this area holds it all. If your laundry room is starting to seem heavier on the laundry and tighter on the room, consider adding custom closets in New Ulm, MN. This project typically does not require much space to start with, and can be as simple as one row of cabinets for keeping linens, cleaners, and laundry baskets.
The bathroom is another space where clutter can easily collect. From cosmetics and toiletries to towels and robes, everyday items tend to conglomerate in the bathroom. Make the most of this space and get organized by installing new bathroom cabinets in Mankato, MN.
If you have a garage, you know how quickly items can pile up and be forgotten. Instead of looking at a heap of clutter, create a sense of calm every time you come home with a new garage closet. These storage solutions are far superior to any oversized plastic box, and they make storing hardware and other garage-bound items a breeze.
Last but not least, never neglect your kitchen. People spend more time in the kitchen than almost any other room, and this space is also known to hold a wide variety of utensils and cookware, not to mention snacks. Clean up your kitchen and keep clutter away by investing in custom storage for this space. You will not regret it!
Are Your Cabinets Aging Your Space?
Whether you suffer from overly intricate kitchen cabinets in St. Peter, MN, or are feeling the unwanted side effects of an abrasive color scheme, sometimes your choice in storage solutions can leave your space looking like it is stuck in the past. In many cases, a fresh set of cabinets can completely change the look and feel of a room. Here are a few indicators your cabinets may be hurting, rather than helping, your space.
Intricate designs and ornate patterns have always been on the market, but they have decreased in popularity in recent years. This is due to a few reasons. Today's trends favors cabinetry and décor that is minimalist in theme, which is hallmarked by clean lines and simple shapes. Shaker cabinets are great examples of minimalism, because they feature just one inset panel in a geometric, rectangular shape. When cabinets have too many lines and shapes, they can quickly make a room look busy.
Another telltale sign your existing cabinetry installation in New Ulm, MN, is more outdate than current is its overall look. Boxy and oversized cabinets were extremely popular in the 1990s, but have since waned in demand. Today's models are slim, streamlined, and still manage to feature significant capacity.
Color makes a big statement about your style. Today, the name of the color game is neutral. Neutrals like whites, grays, and tans work seamlessly with a minimalist look and are preferred for their ability to coordinate with décor of all hues. Although not against modern rules, louder colors can seem too harsh on kitchen and bathroom cabinets in Hutchinson, MN. If you are wondering what's keeping your kitchen from looking fresh, consider painting over those royal blue cabinets with a cutting-edge light gray.
These are just some of the ways in which outdate cabinets could be dragging down the rest of your space.
Long gone are the times of generic cabinets and eyesore color schemes. Nowadays, kitchen remodeling in Mankato, MN, is anything but cookie-cutter. While all of the style options can make it difficult to know where to start, there are a few tried and true rules you can use to make your kitchen make a statement. If you get stuck, you can always count on your local remodeling contractors for expert design advice.
The first key to curating a kitchen that wows is to understand your dimensions. No matter how tiny or spacious your cooking quarters are, they are bound to look unbalanced with the wrong proportions. By knowing your area, you can start to determine the appropriate sizes for appliances, islands, and cabinetry. Don't forget to measure the height of your walls, as this can be invaluable in guiding your decision in cabinetry installation in Winthrop, MN.
Speaking of cabinetry, feel free to make a statement in this regard. Although an unexpected color is always a great option, you can often attract the eye and set the tone for the rest of the kitchen with subtle cabinetry flair. If you love the minimalist look, for example, forget the usual boxy aesthetic and go with open vertical shelving. If you want to channel a cozy cottage, look for cabinets with earthy tones.
Lastly, don't be afraid to consult with your local remodeling contractor in Mankato, MN, about color scheme and design elements. While we typically recommend installing cabinets in a neutral hue, tile and paint color leave plenty of room for creativity. We love the look of a graphic ceramic backsplash in just about any palette. You can also add pops of color that speak to your personal style with pots, towels, and other décor.
These are just some of the easiest ways to make your kitchen shine.
While some home remodeling projects are suitable for any time of year, some have more specific deadlines. Whether you just accepted a job out of state and need to add value before selling your home or are trying to finish an addition before the holidays roll around, there are many great prompts to renovate. By consulting your remodeling contractor in Hutchinson, MN, however, you may be able to schedule your project during off-peak season and take advantage of lower prices.
One of the best times to embark on home renovation in Winthrop, MN, is when you are preparing to sell your house. Projects such as kitchen and bathroom remodels can add significant overall value to your home, allowing you to hike up your asking price. Another great time to make updates is when you have just purchased a home. This way, renovation blends right into the moving chaos and gives you a fresh slate from which to start.
While some jobs like bathroom remodeling in Mankato, MN, may not come with weather-dependent schedules, others may. If you are expanding your square footage with a new addition, for example, any stormy or snowy conditions can cause major delays. By understanding the scope and needs of your particular project, you can begin to pin down an ideal timeline. Remember that summer months are typically the busiest for renovators and, not coincidentally, this is also when prices are highest.
If you have a flexible schedule and are looking to take advantage of lower rates, ask your contractor when his or her busiest times are. If you can avoid these times, you are also likely to avoid high-season rates. Additionally, your contractor will thank you for considering his or her schedule.
These are just some of the best times to plan a remodeling project.
