Aaaah the holiday season…. how sweet it is! It is a beautiful time of year. Music playing through the air. Picture perfect decorations outfit windows everywhere you go. An increased number of giggles can be heard as children get more and more excited with each passing day.
But there's also the stress of the holiday meal. Aw man, I didn't get the outfits for the Christmas pictures yet. And what about all of those parties? And who's even thought about Christmas shopping? Wait — I signed up for a secret Santa gift exchange too? How am I going to do it all?
As beautiful as this time of year is, instead of joy and excitement many experience angst, stress and a great sense of overwhelm. Instead of being able to just BE and enjoy the holiday season, our days are filled with running from one task to the next DOING something. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. That's one of the fastest ways that you can get to burn out.
PACE YOURSELF DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
As wives and mothers, we have a natural tendency to feel like we have to be the resident expert at whatever we put our hands to. If our children are active in sports, we jump in as the team mom. Or the one who organizes the socials, orders the uniforms and plans a party for the team, coach and the families. Sometimes we are the mom that will teach art or science in the homeschool co-op. We will also be the mom that drives 4 girls to gymnastics practice while helping our preschooler with sight words and making our grocery list. We don't have to do this.
During the holiday season, multiply the number of "obligations" by 10. But as much as there is that's happening, it's even more important that you take time for the things and people that matter most. Rather than thinking about the next thing that I have to do, I choose to be intentional about being present and focus on making memories with my family. You know what I have found when I do this? I actually ENJOY it.
The time you spend with your children each day doesn't have to be scripted or scheduled. Instead, family time can take place intentionally in many different ways during ordinary interactions between parents and children, whether it's rocking a baby to sleep or driving a teenager to the mall. Even in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, you can make moments that matter.

During the holiday season, families tend to have more time together because of work vacations and the kids being out of school. ENJOY IT! Try not to over-schedule yourself. You can make your favorite sweet treat (Christmas rice krispies have always been a hit at our house.) Go to your favorite Pinterest board and get some cool DIY gift ideas that you can make together. Start a new family tradition.
Children will not remember all of the material things you provided. Yes, those toys that were part of the doorbuster sale on Thanksgiving Day may soon be forgotten (and broken.) However, they will remember the feelings that you cherished and enjoyed spending time with them.
They will remember the delicious smell of cookies filling the kitchen. Or the epic fail when your 3 year old dumps an entire bag of chips into the batter. Believe me, I know. But the best part is that these are the type of things where the laughs surrounding them will keep coming for years. I love that!
Be intentional with what's ahead. Everyone is in a hurry because we have a lot more to do this time of year. And I have to admit, a lot of it is fun stuff — music concerts, Christmas parties etc. As I see the busyness in all of its splendor, I still take a step back because I want to be intentional in the small, meaningful moments with families and friends.
The holiday season is a lot of fun but it can also bring up a plethora of emotions for many. Loved ones may be ill or not here anymore. Christmas may look and feel different for you. I know it does for me. Just this year, we had five family members pass away. It's hard, friends. Very hard. When I reflect on that, it causes me slow down. It makes me step back and look at everything around me. I stop and think about things and it helps me to realign myself with the real reason of the season.
The holiday season means different things to different people. And while all of the extra stuff that we fill our calendars with may be fun, it's in the smallest moments that we find joy. It's in that moment that you are having coffee with a friend that you share one of the best laughs over a story she did not share on social media. (Yes, real connecting!) You may receive the best Christmas card ever made by a 4 year old. You may look through old pictures and laugh at outfits you wore, gifts you received or reflect on a treasured memory.
Take some time to be present this holiday season. Every day may not be easy. But by being intentional and present for those closest to us, we can be sure that we will get the most of each moment, every single day. What a gift that is!
How are you intentional during the holiday season?
Hey girlfriend! I'm Angel – a deeply devoted follower of Jesus Christ, wife to James, mom to three princes & a ministry speaker. This counselor turned homeschool mama loves to provide daily adventures for my boys while encouraging them to learn about the big, busy world around them.
With a cold latte in hand and my latest read under my arm, I'm usually seen running around chasing little people. In my spare time, you will catch me spending time with family and friends, at live music festivals and on the hunt for a new favorite dessert.
These are great Angel. Definitely need to practice these over the next couple months.
Fabulous advice! It's so vital to not get caught up and instead enjoy this special time.

Biosign Acquires Assets of Cloud Diagnostics LLC
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Wednesday, June 30, 2010 – Biosign Technologies Inc. (CNSX: BIO, Biosign) and Cloud Diagnostics LLC (Cloud), today announced they have signed an Asset Purchase Agreement under which Biosign will acquire substantially all of the assets of Cloud.
On December 22, 2009 Biosign and Cloud executed a memorandum of understanding wherein they agreed to negotiate the terms of a Master Distribution Agreement for Biosign's products for the United States, within a seven-month period. During the course of those negotiations, Cloud acquired specific assets that are of value to Biosign, including intellectual property, business relationships and financial capital. The parties agreed that it would be in the best interests of both companies to exchange Cloud's assets for equity in Biosign.
"We were impressed at the outset with the experience and business acumen of the team at Cloud. As our relationship developed, we realized that the assets they intended to deploy as master distributor in the US market could be better utilized internally at Biosign and applied to multiple markets around the world." remarked Radu Leca, President and CEO of Biosign.
Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Cloud transferred to Biosign (a) intellectual property, including a fully paid-up, perpetual, global, royalty-free, assignable source-code license to its enterprise-level E-commerce platform, which is capable of handling end-user purchase and activation transactions from multiple countries, in multiple languages and currencies; (b) two portfolios of key internet domain names, totaling over 355 uniform resource locators (urls), including mission-critical marketing search terms; and (c) free working capital of US$575,000. The purchase price was satisfied by the issuance of 3,242,308 common shares of Biosign and 484,615 warrants to acquire additional common shares of Biosign. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional share at an exercise price of $1.05 per share for a period of 24 months. The shares are restricted from resale until October 27th, 2010. Biosign has not assumed any liabilities of Cloud.
"Our goal was to join forces with Biosign in a way that materially benefits all parties" said Robert Kaul, Founder and CEO of Cloud. "This Asset Purchase Agreement gives Biosign ownership of core intellectual property it will need to fulfill its business plan globally, while at the same time offering members of Cloud a chance to own equity in Biosign, and benefit in all the future growth of that company."
The MOU for exclusive master distribution in the United States entered into between Cloud and Biosign (see Press Release dated December 22nd, 2009) has expired. Biosign retains the rights for distributing its products in the USA.

Sonoma Pharmaceuticals and Microderm Technologies Announce that Dermodacyn® Disinfecting Solution is Now Available in Hong Kong and Thailand
January 28, 2021 04:30 PM Eastern Standard Time
WOODSTOCK, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNOA), a global healthcare leader developing and producing stabilized hypochlorous acid (HOCl) products for a wide range of applications, including wound care, eye care, nasal care, oral care, disinfectant use and dermatological conditions, and Microderm Technologies Ltd. announce that Dermodacyn® disinfectant has received import clearance as a medical device for Thailand with the help from Microderm's partner VetSynova Co. Ltd., Thailand, and is now available online and in pharmacies and stores in Hong Kong and Thailand.
Dermodacyn disinfecting solution is designed to be sprayed as an aerosol to disinfect areas suspected to contain bacteria and viruses that can lead to disease. Dermodacyn disinfectant is medical grade and can be used in hospitals to keep doctors and patients protected and safe. It also performs well in other high traffic areas that require constant cleaning and disinfecting. In a study by the University of Hong Kong and Queen Mary Hospital Dermodacyn disinfecting solution showed it effectively kills the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. See https://www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-6701(20)30339-X/fulltext.
"We believe the fact that Dermodacyn® can outperform other products to kill viruses and bacteria effectively and at the same time be completely safe to be used on humans will boost customer confidence and help us further expand our customer base into the public service industry," said Mr. Christopher Lee, Founder and CEO of Microderm Technologies.
"We originally brought Dermodacyn® to customers in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia as a skin antiseptic and wound treatment product before introducing it as a surface disinfectant. This may be the only product to be applied first on humans before being used as a surface disinfectant. This is why Dermodacyn disinfectant is one of the safest and most effective products of its kind in the market. The well-being of our customers is always our priority," Mr. Lee added.
"Sonoma's Microcyn technology-based products have been safely and effectively used for over 20 years. We are proud to work with partners like Microderm who are showcasing our technology through consumer channels and highly regarded research institutions," said Amy Trombly, CEO of Sonoma Pharmaceuticals. "We plan on continuing to research new areas of use and plan to continue to develop new products that will help our customers around the world stay safe and healthy."

Message from our CEO and our chair
Management analysis
Our board and executive management team
Printable report
Long-time employee and blood recipient Terrie Foster was awarded Canadian Blood Services' national Living Our Values award this year. She was recognized for her exceptional standard of work, collaborative nature and commitment to excellence.
Watch Terrie's story
Enhancing
Maximizing the impact of our funding partners' investment goes far beyond reducing and avoiding costs. The drivers of efficiency are woven into all aspects of our work, whether we're simplifying the donation experience, implementing new productivity measures or enhancing our facilities to create better experiences for donors and employees.
Sharpening our
focus on quality
The continuing evolution of our quality management system reinforces our commitment to the standards set by the global biologics manufacturing industry. As our processes and systems mature, we're seeing steady improvement in key quality measures and outcomes.
Correction and prevention
Over the past year, Canadian Blood Services continued to roll out a program called Link: Strengthening Our Quality Management System and Culture. We've introduced a new set of requirements for change control — the management of all changes to our operating policies and procedures. We've also established an enhanced document management protocol. We've launched a quality-focused training program. And crucially, we've implemented a new process for corrective and preventive actions, or CAPAs.
The CAPA process remains a top priority for our executive management team. A cornerstone of an effective quality management system, it's essential to our pursuit of continuous improvement and our commitment to ensuring donor and patient safety. Over 500 CAPAs were initiated in 2016–2017, a significant increase from previous years. Our longer-term goal is to handle 95 per cent of CAPAs within 30 days as we strive to address any departures from policies and procedures — what we call non-conformances — across our operations with timely and effective solutions.
Steadily reducing recalls
We've made significant progress in reducing the already small number of blood products recalled as the result of errors or new information received from donors after they've given blood. Our target for the past year was fewer than 1,800 such recalls; the actual number was 1,430 or 14 per cent of all products distributed.
It's worth noting that recall rates, while a critically important quality measure, don't necessarily indicate the entry of sub-par products into the system. The blanket term recall includes many situations in which we're not correcting a problem but simply being vigilant and proactive. There were no extreme errors or accidents involving fresh blood products in 2016–2017, and 49 reports of adverse reactions.
Consistently improving quality
We met all of the performance indicators on our quality index in two quarters of 2016–2017; two minor misses in the other two quarters prevented us from achieving a perfect score for the year. Overall, our performance was more consistent compared to previous years. And for the indicators we track that may point to quality issues — including hospital complaints, non-conformances, audit anomalies, loss of products and incomplete quality control data — both the number and range of incidents are generally going down. Alongside the small and declining number of recalls for products shipped to hospitals, the discard rate at our facilities has decreased significantly — further evidence of our commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
During the past year, as another indication of our organization's growing quality mindset, we delivered a new training module for all employees on the products and services we provide, and trained a key operational group on how to effectively analyze root causes and execute CAPAs. We implemented periodic reviews of all standard operating procedures across the organization to ensure documents are complete and accurate, and where we could, we eliminated redundant activities that didn't contribute to advancing our safety and quality goals.
In the next 12 months, we'll be introducing a quality policy that is aligned with the highest contemporary standards. We'll also begin to automate quality processes to further improve their efficacy and efficiency. In short, we're moving ahead in our quality journey, and the positive results we're seeing today set the stage for further progress to come.
"Over the past year, we've improved the mechanics of our quality management system and introduced new quality-focused training. Recalls have gone down, and we've been more consistent than ever in meeting performance indicators. Now we hope to fully reap the benefits — and I'm confident we will."
– Dr. Christian Choquet, Vice-President,
Quality and Regulatory Affairs, Canadian Blood Services
Making donation easier
During a year in which we had to replace over half the number of blood donors because of changing eligibility criteria for blood donation, attrition and other factors, our digital channels were more important than ever. For recruitment, retention and engagement, we're connecting with donors on their terms — and getting to know them better in the process.
Reaching donors on the move
As of March 2017, the average number of people who use our award-winning GiveBlood mobile app each month had increased by 76 per cent, compared to the previous year. Donors use the app to check eligibility criteria, make appointments at convenient collection sites and set up automatic reminders. Our database of mobile numbers had grown to 128,000 by year-end — an annual increase of 44 per cent. And 48,000 people had signed up to receive updates via our new SMS text messaging service.
The average number of people who use our GiveBlood mobile app each month increased by 76 per cent.
More online bookings
Over the past year, the number of appointments booked online grew from 145,500 to over 325,000. In the same period we added over 208,000 new online donor accounts. And Canadian Blood Services became the first national blood operator to implement a chatbot: an application that responds intelligently to users' queries and comments, conducting a virtual conversation. Such capabilities, which are especially attractive to younger prospective donors — the key to our future — also enable our contact centre employees to focus on queries requiring live interactions.
We now have over a quarter of a million email addresses in our national database, and the number of donors who prefer communicating by email continues to rise steadily. At the same time, social media plays an increasingly important role in donor engagement. We have more than 100,000 followers on our national Facebook page, some 60,000 followers on Twitter and are experimenting with Instagram and other channels to see which resonate most with current and potential donors. Over the coming year, we'll continue to enhance our digital offering, inviting donors to choose how they prefer to connect with us.
Online recruitment campaign
In August 2016, Canadian Blood Services joined two dozen other blood operators in 21 countries in an international campaign to recruit future blood donors. Called Missing Type, the online campaign showcased logos and signs in everyday and landmark locations that were missing letters from the three main blood groups: A, B and O. By the end of the month 6,500 potential Canadian donors had registered at missingtype.ca, yielding a new pool of potential donors for our recruitment efforts.
Evolving our collection network
The aim of our mobile and online engagement strategy is to bring more people into our physical collection sites — and here too we're adjusting our presence in Canadian communities. For example, we've put more emphasis on our permanent sites in metropolitan areas and are beginning to offer more convenient access and opening hours for these large concentrations of potential donors. Urban sites can also provide more stable schedules for staff while serving donors efficiently at a proportionately lower labour cost per unit. But location is only one aspect of improving responsiveness and performance. Equally important is the move to a digitally enabled collection environment as part of our Automated Supply Chain initiative.
Connecting with
As we continue re-examining blood donation eligibility for men who have sex with men (MSM) — and develop criteria for trans donors — we must strike a balance between evidence-based research on blood safety and open dialogue with communities whose insights we need to hear. We're committed to serving all Canadians, navigating a changing social context with sensitivity.
MSM: Working to speed up progress
In August 2016, Health Canada approved our application to reduce the ineligibility period for MSM blood donors from five years to one year. This was another step in a long journey that began in the mid-1980s, when it was first recognized that blood donations from donors living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) could pose a risk to the blood system. From that time until 2013, any male donor who had had sexual contact with another man was permanently ineligible to donate blood. In 2013, this lifetime ineligibility was reduced to five years following sexual contact with another man. Though changes have been made, for many in the LGBTQ community, progress has not been fast enough.
Most of the research that has informed donation criteria focused on MSM whose behaviours were deemed high-risk for infectious disease. To make eligibility criteria more inclusive and fair, we need evidence that clearly identifies groups with low-risk behaviours who can reasonably be allowed to donate without risking blood safety. This kind of research takes time and understandably tries the patience of LGBTQ donors who object to the idea that sexual orientation and high-risk behaviour are necessarily linked. Working with our scientific partners globally, we're focusing our collective efforts — and making tangible progress.
Setting new MSM research priorities
To rethink blood donor eligibility criteria for men who have sex with men (MSM), we must first bridge a significant knowledge gap. To that end, in January 2017 Canadian Blood Services — in partnership with Héma-Québec, and with financial support from the Government of Canada — hosted a meeting in Ottawa that brought together national and international stakeholders to identify research priorities. The two-day gathering included researchers from a range of disciplines, as well as officials with Health Canada and international blood operators. Other stakeholders included representatives of patients who depend on blood products, and members of the LGBTQ community.
Experts from around the globe reviewed current practices and shared data on various approaches to MSM screening and their impact on the number of donors, blood safety and system operations. Smaller groups then met to determine what further research is needed. These sessions identified critical areas of study, ranging from individual, behaviour-based assessments to the use of risk modelling to evaluate alternative donor criteria.
Based on the outcome of this meeting, our Centre for Innovation launched a competitive MSM research grant program with funding provided by Health Canada. As this annual report went to press, 15 grant submissions from Canadian researchers were under review for funding in the summer of 2017.
Defining better criteria for trans donors
In the past, there were no clear eligibility guidelines for blood donors who self-identified as trans. Screening practices varied from site to site, and this lack of consistency raised concerns in the trans community. In August 2016, after consulting with stakeholders about the best approaches to gathering personal data, we introduced national standardized screening criteria for trans donors. Once these criteria were shared publicly, however, individuals from the trans and gender non-binary communities strenuously challenged assumptions within the screening process that they felt revealed a lack of understanding about the nuances of gender and identity, as well as the diversity and complexity of individual experiences.
There are strong opinions within these communities on the need to shift the focus from surgery to high-risk behaviours. Committed to maintaining safety while ensuring all potential donors are treated with respect and dignity, Canadian Blood Services is working with community members to explore how we can further refine our screening approach. We're also developing sensitivity training for all Canadian Blood Services employees, with opportunities for trans and gender non-binary individuals to be part of the process.
"Are we simply seeking to further shorten the time period [for deferred donations from men who have sex with men] but keep the targeted criteria for MSM? Or are we going to take a completely different approach … and embark on criteria that do not determine eligibility on the basis of gender or sexual orientation? These and other questions need to drive our research agenda — underscored, as always, by our evidence-based approach in determining donor criteria."
– Dr. Graham Sher, Chief Executive Officer, appearing before the House of Commons
Standing Committee on Health in December 2016
Engaged, committed
In an internal survey conducted last year, our employee engagement score increased to 75 per cent — well above our 70 per cent target. This continuing upward trend reflects our efforts to build and sustain a high-commitment, high-performance culture across the organization and shows the dedication of our employees who come to work every day knowing they are making a difference.
Over the past year, we brought renewed energy and focus to recognizing the uniqueness of every person who works at Canadian Blood Services while promoting equity and a respect for difference across our organization. Among the highlights of our recent activities:
We created the CEO Advisory Committee on Diversity and Inclusion to guide the development of a strategy in this area and a clear statement of intent for our enterprise.
We formed a working group on diversity and inclusion issues comprising employees from all regions and divisions.
We engaged the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion to conduct an inclusivity assessment with senior leaders and employee focus groups, as well as a workshop for the CEO Advisory Committee and the working group.
We put in place prayer and reflection rooms (non-denominational quiet spaces) at our Ottawa headquarters and at our facilities in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Brampton and Dartmouth.
We developed a range of communications, including a multicultural calendar for all employees and a series of newsletter articles designed to raise awareness of diversity issues.
The results and recommendations from the inclusivity assessment are guiding development of a more comprehensive strategy through 2017–2018.
Welcome recognition
In 2016, Canadian Blood Services was recognized as one of Canada's Safest Employers in the annual ranking conducted by Canadian Occupational Safety magazine, earning a silver award in the health-care category. Organizations are evaluated on a wide range of health and safety criteria, including employee training, management systems, emergency preparedness, incident investigation and innovation.
Other recognition over the past year included a Prism Award from the International Coach Federation for our employee coaching program, and a bronze award in the Cassies — the annual Canadian advertising competition focused on impact — for the GiveLife advertising campaign developed in partnership with Sandbox Advertising.

Telework centers are offices that are generally set up close to a majority of people who might otherwise drive or take public transit. They usually feature the full complement of office equipment and a high-speed Internet connection for maximum productivity. Some feature support staff, including receptionists or administrators. For example, a number of telework centers have been set up around the Washington Metropolitan Area: 7 in Maryland, 8 in Virginia, 3 in Washington, D.C. and 1 in West Virginia. Telework centers allow people to reduce their commute yet still work in a traditional office setting. Some telework centers are set up by individual companies while others are established by independent organizations for use by many organizations. Telework centers are attractive to people who do not have the space or inclination to work from home. They offer employers the ability to maintain a more formal structure for their workforce.
Paul Bischoff, a privacy advocate at Comparitech.com, says that these apps typically collect data for marketing purposes. "Some types of data these apps can collect about you include websites visited, real-time location, online purchases, other apps you use, your entire contact list and search queries," he said. Watch out for apps that collect background data — you can find that information in the app's privacy policy when you sign up. Of course, privacy policies are often lengthy and hard to understand, so it helps to know what you're looking for.
Also keep in mind that communication with a telecommuting team requires an extra layer of crystal clear clarity. Since almost everything is done via email (and there are no facial or body clues to read), you'll need to make sure that you mean what you, um, type. I've found that shorter, more succinct sentences go a lot farther than long-winded soliloquies.
With so many apps out there, it's impossible to try them all. That's where AppTrailers comes in — it allows you to watch "trailers" of apps that provide a walkthrough of how an app functions. Each is 30 seconds or less, and a viewing scores you points toward gift cards. Grab extra points by taking quizzes and playing games in the app and you'll get more money, faster.
Work from outside your office for a few hours, either at your company's office building or anywhere you'll be around other people — coffee shops and coworking spaces are great for replicating the "buzz" of an office. You can also make plans to meet friends or coworkers for lunch, take a midday exercise class, or pick up the phone and call a coworker instead of sending an email.
Telework flexibility is a desirable prerequisite for employees. A 2008 Robert Half International Financial Hiring Index, a survey of 1,400 CFOs by recruitment firm Robert Half International, indicated that 13% consider telework the best recruiting incentive today for accounting professionals.[70] In earlier surveys, 33% considered telework the best recruiting incentive, and half considered it second best.[71]
I already know what you're thinking when you read that title, 'Here comes another one of those get rich quick scams. I don't blame you. Most titles that begin the way tend to lead to some ebook or sales page. But what I'm about to reveal to you is totally legitimate and involves nothing more than speaking your mind. No I haven't lost mine! Just be patient.
A while ago, I argued the best company for me isn't necessarily the best company for you. I still stand by that statement. But many of you have been pounding at my email door and practically twisting my arm asking me for my personal favorite legitimate work at home companies. I was apprehensive about revealing this information because I really want you guys to take action on any legitimate work at home opportunities. But after giving it some thought, it made sense for me to provide you with a few of the ones I do actively work with, to get your started. But keep in mind I still believe that you should make decisions based on what's best for you. So with that said, check out my latest video on one of my favorite BBB listed work at home companies. I've been working with this company for years and have made some great money and also acquired a lot of free gadgets such as TVs, Ipods, and much more. (The gadget thing will become a lot clearer when you watch the video.) In either case this company has consistently made me money and has a good standing among work at home seekers that are smart enough to join the company and take advantage of all the ways to earn with them. Hopefully you'll enjoy the video and will decide to join the company I've recommended.

This side hustle is one that could work for nearly anyone since you can work from home provided you have a computer and an internet connection. You can find online proofreading jobs through websites like Indeed.com and FlexJobs.com
Distributed work entails the conduct of organizational tasks in places that extend beyond the confines of traditional offices or workspaces. It can refer to organizational arrangements that permit or require workers to perform work more effectively at any appropriate location—such as their homes or customers' sites—through the application of information and communication technology. An example is financial planners who meet clients during the client's lunchtime at the client's workplace; even though this is an out-of-the-office, meeting, the Internet enables the planner to present financial planning tools and presentations on their mobile computers. Another example is a publishing executives who recommends books and places orders for the latest book offerings to libraries and university professors from the executive's home using e-mail or an online system. If this type of distributed work replaces the worker's commute, it would be considered telecommuting. If not, it would be telework (see §1. Definition).
On May 24, 2010, the Senate passed the Telework Enhancement Act (S. 707) sponsored by Sens. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) and George Voinovich (R-Ohio). The bill grants Federal employees eligibility to telework and requires Federal agencies to establish telework policies and identify telework managers.[105] On July 14, 2010, the House passed the Telework Improvements Act of 2010 (H.R. 1722) with a vote of 290-131. The U.S. Senate passed the final version of the legislation by unanimous consent on September 29, 2010 and the House passed it with a bipartisan vote of 254-152 on November 18, 2010.[106] On December 9, 2010 President Obama signed H.R. 1722, the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010, into law.[107] The Telework Enhancement Act of 2012 provided a framework for U.S. agencies to offer teleworking as a viable option to employees. By increasing the number of employees who telework, the Telework Enhancement Act has three main objectives. (1) Improve continuity of operations, (2) Promote management Effectiveness and (3) Enhance work-life balance.[108]
If you're looking to address some immediate financial needs, then the app economy is likely right for you. Thanks to the global sharing phenomenon, launched in part by our smartphones and ever-burgeoning global connectivity, you could easily opt for some quick active income by using well-known apps. From ride sharing to deliveries and even quick tasks, there's an app for that today, as the saying goes.
On the other hand, working from home is often claustrophobic and isolating. This is particularly true in the winter, when it gets dark just when you've worked up the courage to brave the outside. I once went five whole days without leaving my apartment in daylight. I swore after last winter I'd spend the next one in a warmer, sunnier climate if I was still freelancing, but here I am, December oncoming, anticipating another three months of self-imprisonment with no one to talk to but my computer. If that sounds depressing, it's because it IS.
Understand how a niche website works. A niche website focuses on very targeted, specific information. The content must be specific, useful and interesting to your target audience. Successful niche websites get anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 visitors per month.[5] You build content on a particular keyword, and you make passive income with Google Adsense or through affiliate links.[6]
Transcription work from home jobs involve listening to audio files and typing out what you hear. While some types of transcription (such as medical) require training, it is possible to break into general transcription with little to no past experience. Before you start digging through the companies below, you may want to read this post about what general transcription involves and this post about the equipment transcribers use.
That's my plan. No kids, no spouse, parents deceased. I'll never be able to retire. On PSLF, but forgiveness not approved until 120th payment. Many are not being forgiven now. I take courses to stay in deferment. FedLoan bases payment on gross; not net. How does that make any sense?! After bills I can't afford the payment. I have 3 grad degrees. Was supposed to be a psychologist. APA & NCE won't accept my 15yo degrees for the national exam. So I teach at a CC. Over 180,000 in debt now and it grows monthly.
How to Get It: Visit companies such as DarwinsData.com, PineconeResearch.com and PaidViewpoint.com. (Search "surveys" on RealWaystoEarnMoneyOnline.com for more options.) Then sign up with as many sites as you can. The sites will contact you when surveys that fit your demographic pop up, and you take them right away. A word to the wise: Do not register anywhere that has a membership fee, asks for your Social Security number or bank information, or is vague about payment. There are many survey services out there that are fraudulent.
Using Fiverr is a great way to pick up work. Once you have signed up you can advertise your services. Fiver allows you to create your own gigs, whether you are offering web design, digital marketing, writing, or something else. You can choose how much you want to charge (it can be more than a fiver) and people will then contact you if they are interested in working with you. Fiverr will not only help you get experience if you are just starting off as a freelancer, but it will also help you earn some extra cash.
Elsewhere in Europe, the song entered the charts in Austria, where it peaked at number nine and charted for twenty-eight weeks. Similar trends followed in Denmark and Latvia, where the song also peaked at number nine. In the Belgian charts, the song peaked within the top 10 in its Flanders and Wallonia category, earning a top five in the Flanders chart. The track also peaked in the top 10 in Czech Republic, making appearances in both of the country's two main charts. In Germany and Norway, the song peaked at seven and six, respectively and charted for fifteen and twenty six weeks. "Work from Home" earned a top five in countries such as Spain and Poland, charting for 18 weeks in the Spanish charts. In its digital track component, the song peaked in the top 10 in Slovakia. It also achieved top 10 peaks in Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Norway, where it also became their highest charting song in said countries. The song was certified platinum in Denmark, double platinum in countries including Belgium, Italy, Poland, Spain, quadruple platinum in Sweden and Diamond in France, where the single sold a quarter of a million copies.
This is similar in concept to micro-tasks, except that it is oriented toward specific services, such as cleaning services, pest inspection, handyman services, house cleaning, lawn & garden services or any of the skilled trades. It might actually be more accurate to say that it is a platform where skilled service providers can offer their services to site visitors, similar to Angie's List.
Do you constantly come up with witty one-liners? Do you dream of the days of Mad Men-style advertising? If you've got some branding chops or just come up with imaginative copy, there are lots of opportunities to make money online through company naming and slogan contests. If you think you have a knack for names check out namingforce.com and squadhelp.com. If you dream of coming up with witty copy, try coming up with company slogans on Slogan Slingers and Get a Slogan.
The group is now in front of the construction house, all performing in-sync dance choreography. Some of the dance routines include mimicking the visual to a jackhammer and using a driller. Ally is seen inside the house with a hammer, as she approaches a male construction worker, turning him around by gently grabbing his shirt and flirting with him. In the next scene, Dinah is standing by a wall, and makes her way towards another male worker, opening a blueprint map, and using a tape measure. The scene then shifts to Lauren, who is handling a blow torch.
Since time is the most precious commodity on this earth, invest the time at the front-end so that you can reap the benefits on the back-end. This means putting in a bit of sweat equity and not getting paid today. Rather, you'll get paid somewhere down the road. And you'll continue getting paid whether you keep building that passive income stream or you stop. It's obvious that this is the preferred route, but clearly the road less traveled.
2. How They Make Money: "From a consumer's standpoint, it's important to understand what the monetization model is for the company that makes these apps," added Kowsik Guruswamy, chief technology officer at Menlo Security. "That alone can be very revealing in how the companies plan to use their data." For example, an app might make money through sponsorships with the brands it partners with or it might offer customers paid upgrades. However, it's also likely it makes money selling your data to advertisers or other third parties, which is why it's important to note what kind of data it tracks and how it uses it.
Swoup is not your typical coupon app: Link it to your bank account and loyalty cards, swipe through suggested coupons, and keep the ones you want in your Swoup Wallet. When shopping, the discounts are automatically applied after you hand over your loyalty card or phone number, and whatever money you save is actually given back to you. Rather than "round up" tools that help you save spare change (money you don't have if you're on a tight budget), Swoup refers to itself as a "round down" tool because it's actually adding money to your wallet that you otherwise would have spent.
Or the radio, or a Beethoven playlist, or an 11-hour YouTube video featuring ocean sounds. I find that it's helpful to have noise on in the background, not just because you feel a little less isolated having sounds around you, but because it drowns out the sounds of your upstairs neighbors or leaking faucet or unending car alarm. Unwanted ambient noise is annoying in offices, but there's something extra annoying about hearing it all day when you work from home, in part because it feels like there's no escape from it. I have very nearly started a war with the music-blasting taco shop underneath me, and I cannot promise the current detente will hold out.
Blogging is a great side hustle because you can do it at your own pace anywhere you want. It's not a quick and easy way to make money, but there are a lot of ways to make money side hustling while blogging. You can sell advertising, become an affiliate for other people's products, sell your own online product, and more. It does take time to build up an audience to be able to make a decent amount of money, but once you have a large following, you could earn over $15,000 per month or more (we do).
Businesses often provide teleworkers access to corporate in-house applications, accessible by a remote device such as a tablet or laptop. These devices are gaining popularity in the workforce but come with different underlying operating systems and therefore a variety compatibility issues. However, with the use of desktop virtualization, specifically remote desktop virtualization, any legacy application or operating system can be accessed from a mobile device, as this device is primary used as a display unit while the processing is performed on the company's internal server.
Creating space for banner ads on your website is another way to generate a revenue from adverts. However, for this type of advertising, you will need to contact businesses directly and ask them if they would like to advertise on your website. The upside is that you can charge a set amount, or even a recurring monthly fee, to business to promote their services on your site. Using a WordPress plugin like AdSanity is an effective way to manage this type of advertising.
Drive for Uber or Lyft: If you're in a locale where you can find Uber or Lyft (or even one of the many competitors around the world such as China's Didi), you could easily make a respectable income. The hours are flexible and you can work as you see fit, making it perfect even if you currently have full-time employment but are looking to make some money on the side.
Face-to-face interactions increase interpersonal contact, connectedness, and trust[48] Therefore, 54% of teleworkers thought they lost out on social interaction and 52.5% felt they lost out on professional interaction in a 2012 study.[77] Teleworking can hurt working relationships between the teleworker and their coworkers, especially if their coworkers do not telework. Coworkers who do not telework can feel resentful and jealous because they may consider it unfair if they are not allowed to telework as well.[35][46] However, despite fewer interpersonal actions and professional isolation,[48] a meta-analysis of telecommuting did not find support for negative telecommuter-coworker relationships or telecommuter-supervisor relationships.[35] Employers' largest concerns about telecommuting are fear of loss of control; 75% of managers say they trust their employees, but a third say they'd like to be able to see them, "just to be sure".[79]

MRSA EMERGENCY AT ONE BUC PLACE!
Here is another example of the harm MRSA can cause. Now they are in reaction mode. Preventative spraying on the front end (a service we offer) would help reduce these outbreaks.


The module is covered in various active and passive components, which are surrounded by an aluminum frame and blue plastic 22 pin male plastic connector. On the component side there are three round inspection stamps. The solder side has a grid lettered A-Z.


One of the favorite candies in our house this time of the year is candy corn. It is so colorful and fun and says fall in a sweet tooth kind of way. These cookies and cream candy corn truffles are the perfect size for a sweet bite of fall fun.
It's time for the holidays with these cookies and cream candy corn truffles.
And also check out these Red Velvet Cheesecake truffles. They are perfect for Valentine's Day or Christmas.
I try to stay away from candy most of the time. It does not agree with my hips in any way shape or form. I also find that too much sugar just plays havoc with my immune system overall. But during the holidays, all that changes. I turn into a little kid and try get my fix for the next year and then some. Not very adult of me, but what's a girl to do? I'll pay for it in January, but I do enjoy the next few months.
The recipe for candy corn truffles is very easy to do. Basically, it is a lot of chopping, and rolling and a bit of cooking all put together in one decadent bite. So be prepared to get those hands right into the mixture and start making some scrumptious little bits of heaven.
The first step is to combine 4 tbsp of butter with 20 Golden Oreo cookies and 1/3 cup of candy corn in a food processor. I use my food processor all the time in the fall. It makes crumbs for truffles and crumbles so quickly and is easy to clean, as well. Pulse the mixture until it is nice and crumbly.
Combine the white chocolate and marshmallow fluff in a bowl and set aside, then cook together some sugar, evaporated milk, and butter for 3 minutes, stirring the whole time. Add the cooked mixture to the chocolate and fluff mix.
Roughly chop up another 4 cookies and the remainder of the candy corn. Add them to the soft mixture and combine well.Place this in the fridge until it is firm but not completely set. When it is cooled, add it to the crumb mixture and pulse again. It will be the consistency of very thick cookie dough now.
Grease your hands and shape the crumb mixture into 30 balls about 1 inch in size and set aside on a plate.. Now you will roll the balls into your choice of coating. I used shredded coconut, chocolate sprinkles and chopped pecans.
These truffles are the perfect dessert bite. They have the consistency of a cake pop with the delicious taste of your most decadent truffle. They are perfect for both Halloween and Thanksgiving. Your holiday guests will love these. They are the perfect choice for those that want a sweet treat but are not fond of the sweetness of fudge. The Oreo cookies make them a bit more savory and the coatings take away from the heavy sweetness too. These are a keeper! Have you used candy corn in your holiday cooking? Tell us about your recipes in the comments below!
These candy corn truffles have about 157 calories each, so they are a once in a while treat, but so worth it!
These candy corn truffles have a creamy center made from Golden Oreos combined with candy corn. They are coated with chopped pecans, chocolate sprinkles or coconut for one delicious bite.
Melt 1/4 cup of butter. Set aside. Combine 20 of the Oreo cookies (about 20 cookies and 1/3 cup candy corn in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is crumbly. Add the butter in the spout and pulse to combine well.
Rough chop the remaining cookies and candy corn and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat; combine the sugar, 1/4 cups butter and the evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once mixture comes to a boil, cook for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in chocolate chips and marshmallow. Stir until mixture is smooth. Mix in the chopped Oreo's and remaining candy corn.
Pour this mixture into a greased pan and place in the fridge. Chill about an hour until it is almost set but not hard.
When cooled, add it to the golden Oreo crumb mix. Pulse until well combined and then shape the mixture into 1 inch balls.
Roll 1/3 of the balls in the coconut, 1/3 in the chocolate sprinkles and 1/3 in the chopped pecans.
Makes 30 candy corn balls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Yes, want to make these but not sure why the amount of evaporated milk is left out of the recipe! A whole can?? How many ounces?
Hi Mary Ann, I apologize for the confusion. I showed the evaporated milk amount in one of the photos but neglected to mention it in the ingredient list. It's one cup. Thanks for letting me know about the omission.
Taking these to work. Yum. A good way to use up the candy corn!!
i know i will love these! i love corn + they are just too cute!
These are adorable and they look so easy. I bet my kids would love these.
oh my..all i can say is super yummy! i think i would probably eat all of the ingredients. LOL.
These treat look like they turned out great! It looks easy to make too. Thanks for sharing!
These Candy Corn Truffles look fabulous! My kids would go crazy for them. That I know for sure!
These look so good – I can't believe you made them! I feel like maybe I can even handle making them. I'll need to give it a go!
Super easy to do. I love making truffles.
These truffles look irresistible. Thank you for the detailed instructions as I want to make them for my next dinner party.
Your guests will love them!
You can't get much easier than these, can you? And more delicious, no way! I can't WAIT to have some.
Hope you like them Liz!
What a variety of yummy treats Perfect for the fall season and parties. Golden Oreos are always a fave of mine.
I've never used them until this recipe. Love the way they turned out.
It's such a fun time of the year for cooking.
Those look really good. I hope to be able to make these this upcoming week. Yum.
Hope they turn out well Bonnie.
What a great idea to use up some candy corn. These all look so tasty and easy to make.
They really are good. My husband loves them all.
These truffles look incredibly delicious! I love that they have candy corn in them! Gotta try these!
My husband is not much of a candy person, but he loves these.
Thanks! It's a passion of mine.
Cooking with children is a lot of fun!
Yeah candy or cookies don't agree with my hips either. But I am in love with what you made! Yum! These seem like the best treat ever!
Moderation is my key. As long as I don't much on them all day, I'm fine. Just one as a little treat after dinner.
I'm so going to make these tomorrow! I love the different toppings. I think it would be so much fun to have my kids in the kitchen helping me.
Cooking with children is such a special time. They will love rolling them in the toppings.
Me too. I love to make sweet treats during the year.

Our Tomorrows
Our Tomorrows: Sharing Your Story to Help Build a Better Tomorrow
[team_awesome member=48]
[team_awesome member=3]
Lately, stories have been top of mind here at the University of Kansas Center for Public Partnerships and Research (CPPR). Every day, we hear stories of resilient families that have bounced back from great challenges. Stories of hope…and stories of struggle. Through these stories we are gathering nuggets of wisdom about the ways in which things could, and should, be going better to improve lives.
Every family's story is different. The experiences that we share with those closest to us become our own story, but can also resonate for generations to come. Stories are powerful. They shape the way we view the world and how we view our role in making the world a better place for all of us.
So we wondered…what can we do to bring the stories we hear every day to the forefront of conversations that help inform public policy and programming for children, youth, and families across Kansas, and beyond?
Our Tomorrows Project
This summer, CPPR set a goal of gathering 1,000 stories about families. These can be stories of families that are truly thriving…or merely just surviving. There's much to be learned from all kinds of stories with all kinds of outcomes. The stories we collect may be used to shape policy and programming decisions in your community and across the country.
We are using an innovative technology called SenseMaker to gather stories from families. SenseMaker asks the user to submit an anonymous story, in paragraph form, through a simple online tool. SenseMaker also asks several follow-up questions about the story you shared and how you perceive it. It takes between 10 and 15 minutes to complete the process, depending on the length of your story.
Sharing a story is easy, and we'd love for you to contribute!
Think back to a time when you remember things really going well for you and your family, or a family you're close to. . . That time could be right now, or it could be 50 years ago. What do you remember about that time in your life? Why were things going so well? What did that look like?
What about a time when your family, or a family you know was just barely surviving or was really struggling? How was that different? Who were the people who helped the family get through that difficult period? Were there any community programs that really helped the family pull through?
And, by the way, you don't need to be a parent, or have young children to participate. We want to hear from families of all kinds, so please join us in our quest to build better tomorrows for families by submitting your story today at http://bit.ly/OurTomorrows!

Bunions can be irritating, frustrating and downright disheartening. With every step putting pressure on the growth, bunion pain can sometimes become intense, keeping you off of your feet for extended periods of time. However, with help from your Jersey City, NJ podiatrist, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Your doctor can help you sort through various treatment options to determine which will work best in bringing relief to your bunion pain.
A bunion is a bony growth located at the base of the big toe. As the bunion grows, it pushes the big toe to the outside of the foot, forcing it towards the smaller toes. This deforms the foot and causes the bones and muscles to grow into a misaligned state. Due to their location, bunions take your body's weight with every step, making them incredibly painful. Though bunions form slowly over a long period of time, they can become painful quickly. Women are more at risk for bunions than men though both sexes experience this condition. Additionally, you inherit the type of foot you have, making bunion-prone feet passed down genetically.
Bunion growth is known to be encouraged by narrow, tight or high-heeled shoes. Sometimes, treating a bunion is as simple as switching the shoes you wear. Wearing a flat shoe with a wide enough toe box to accommodate the full width of the foot helps relieve bunion pain. Over-the-counter medications and icing the foot several times a day also relieve pain and swelling. However, many people get so fed up with bunion pain or have such serious cases that they opt to have bunion surgery. Bunion surgery removes the bunion itself and, if necessary, realigns the bones and connective tissues in the feet to function properly.
How can my podiatrist help?
Your Jersey City, NJ podiatrist uses a combination of a physical examination, imaging techniques such as x-rays or MRI and a collection of your medical and personal history to diagnose bunions. After diagnosis, your doctor will work with you to determine the best treatment option for your situation.
For more information on bunion pain and treatment, please contact Dr. Edward Tjoe, DPM in Jersey City, NJ. Call (201) 984-0231 to schedule your consultation to beat bunion pain for good.

Dean's joined on the track, the first from an upcoming album, by several of his famous friends: Ronnie Milsap, Montgomery Gentry, Colt Ford, Jeffrey Steele and Lee Roy Parnell all help out with guest vocals.
"I wanna thank my buddies Ronnie Milsap, Lee Roy Parnell and Jeffrey Steele for answering the phone when I called," Dean says. "Then it was, 'Man, I wish Eddie and T-Roy would sing on this,' so I made another phone call. Then I was telling Colt Ford about the whole dang thing and how I have never had more fun in the studio in my life, and he said, 'Well, thanks brother, for the call.' He came in, and BAM! Right off the cuff, done!
"We'll cross another one off on my bucket list," he adds. "I always wanted to do not just a vocal event but a Traveling Wilburys-kinda thing, where it ain't just a vocal event but more of an all-star band."
Dean signed with Average Joes Entertainment in 2011. He co-wrote the new single with hit tunesmiths Shane Minor and Jeffrey Steele; it will appear on his freshman solo album, It's About Time.
Trick Pony disbanded in 2006. They announced a reunion last year, but current information on the group mentions only Heidi Newfield and Keith Burns.

Lizard & Rat by Lita Kurth
"My logs are disappearing," said the lizard, pushing his belly down to hide under the last three pieces of wood stacked against the garage wall.
Two yellow eyes gleamed bitterly from the shadow of the logs. "That's the way it always is," said the rat. "Sooner or later, they get you. With poison that takes twenty-four hours, corroding your guts, burning you to death from within; you get so hideously thirsty, you drink like a demon. That's just what they want. The poison sizzles. Your blood goes black and you writhe. I've seen it." He spat out a sliver.
The lizard listened, scared but drawn. The gray-whiskered rat had many stories of the master race around them.
"If it's not poison, it's their cream-fed cats," the rat went on.
"Oh yes," the lizard nodded. "I lost my tail the first time to one of them." He couldn't help glancing at the rat's bare pink tail, a cord they could drag him to death by. Thank God, his own tail was detachable.
"Yes, the kitties," the rat continued, "breaking your back, tearing your head, then pushing you back and forth like a rag doll, letting you lie in agony while they break to lick their fur, then back to playtime. Those are the animals humans keep close because humans love torture. They get off on it."
"I don't think all humans are like that," the lizard offered in an uncertain voice. "They might bring more logs. Once, they put down a rock in the sand for me to hide under."
The rat rolled its eyes. "You think they did that for you?" he jeered. "It's their decoration. Whether you lived or died was one hundred percent irrelevant."
The lizard was quiet. An ant wandered in, climbed under the bark.
The rat watched it absently. "Do you know about the glueboards?"
"No," the lizard said. He had never been indoors at all.
"Oh the glueboards. I've witnessed them. You creep along the walls seeking nothing but food and water, mere survival. Then there it is! A big glob of peanut butter out in the open. You step onto a white surface like milk, and you stick. You can't lift your feet. You pull, but no matter how young and strong, you can't get loose. If you've only put in a single foot, you're lucky; you can bite your leg off, but be careful. The minute your nose gets close to the glue, it sticks. You scream but there's no help. You can scream all night. I've heard it. Your bones ache from that contorted crouch. And you start to sink. You strain all night, holding your stomach up, but finally, you're too tired. Your chin falls. You garble a final protest and suffocate."
The lizard stared at the rat. "What makes humans so horrible?"
A rotten apple plopped from the tree and splattered on the brick. The rat laughed without humor. "God made a mistake when he made them. That's all."
Lizard stood, tense in every leg. "But if they knew how we felt, if we could get them to see us, to hear us, if they could speak our language, they might change! Maybe we just have to be brave, come closer, express everything."
"Yes, go close to them, and I'll be chief mourner at your funeral," the rat said. He slowly slid his nose from the stack of wood and licked at the nearest splotch of apple mess. "It's hard enough for animals. Would we be talking to each other if we ate the same things?"
"Couldn't we?" asked the lizard. Despondent, he laid his head on the ground.
The rat licked his whiskers thoughtfully. "Maybe. In a billion years and a million universes, there are probably infinite paradises, a thousand planets where humans go around all day feeding their animal brethren. And animals kill without pain and die in an instant."
"Maybe in a million years, it could happen here," the lizard offered. Secretly and stubbornly, he thought it could happen in a thousand, and he wished the rat thought so too.
"Why not believe it?" The rat bit at a scab on his leg. "You have to get through life somehow."
Is it just delusion? The lizard felt an unbearable pain in his stomach.
A cricket slipped under the log, and without thinking, the lizard lept, crunched, and swallowed. With the taste still in his mouth, the lizard's eyes filled with tears. "I'm just as bad," he said. "I'm a collaborator, but I can't help it. I have to survive." His body felt it would burst from the tension of partaking of evil, even while condemning it.
"It was over in an instant," the rat said gruffly. "You didn't do it for fun."
The lizard felt cold. He looked at the hot brown rock. At least basking in the heat didn't destroy a life. He could still have that and be good. Partly. "God made a mistake when he made us all," the lizard whispered. A leaf fluttered to the ground, speckled with the eggs of a dozen unborn caterpillars who would shred their host the minute they were born, and be devoured in turn by the circling birds.
"Hey, here's another cricket for you," the rat said, glancing sideways.
The lizard turned wearily away. Trembling, he crept to the rock, making no attempt to blend with its colors. The sun, the blue sky had no meaning. He waited for a snake or hawk.
It was a red-tailed hawk. When its shadow loomed, the lizard flinched but did not flee. Searing pain and the sensation of flying without wings were his end.
"Sensitivity," the rat said. "Not a survival trait." He crouched low, gripping the concrete with his pink claws, and inched toward a broken egg that had fallen from a nest.

The High School Extension Program (HSEP) serves between 60 - 100 students. It is part of the Cambridge Public School District and is located at the former Longfellow School at 359 Broadway. Modeled on other successful, non-traditional high school programs in the nation, this program allows students to learn in an alternative setting, and for many, to participate in CRLS after school and club activities.
Course curriculum, academic requirements and eligibility for graduation are in alignment with Massachusetts state guidelines and that which is offered at CRLS. The small setting permits students who have not performed well in school elsewhere an opportunity to succeed, stay engaged with their educational community, graduate with a high school diploma, and earn for themselves a future made brighter with new options for the years after high school.
What makes HSEP different from Cambridge Rindge & Latin?

Charlie Daniels Hosts "Soldier's Story" Documentary
Caitlin Rantala • November 7, 2012
d corlew films' The Journey Home: A Soldier's Story is set to make its national television premiere today (11/07), on Great American Country (GAC). Hosted and narrated by Charlie Daniels, the program includes exclusive interviews with friends and family of the returning veterans.
Directed and produced by David Corlew, the veteran filmmaker enlisted writer/co-producer Tim Weeks and editor/director of photography Nathan Shuppert to help bring the patriotic documentary to life. The film also features a special appearance by Major General Terry "Max" Haston, Adjutant General of the Tennessee National Guard.
"I am honored to team with GAC's Sarah Trahern and Suzanne Gordon to tell the stories like these that need to be told," said Corlew. "Through this process, we're hoping to inspire our communities to reach out, and in some small way, to support the men and women who choose to serve and protect our nation."
The compelling documentary follows the lives of several U.S. Army and Marine veterans as they return home from the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan to find a new set of challenges awaiting them: rehabilitation from lasting physical and emotional injuries and re-integration into civilian life as they search for a new future. Watch a trailer for the program here.

Abraham Bosse (1602-1604 - 14 de fevereiro de 1676) foi um artista francês, principalmente gravação por água-forte, mas também aquarelista.

Obra
Cerca de 1 600 gravuras são atribuídas a ele, com temas como: vida diária, religião, literatura, história, tecnologia e ciência. A maior parte de sua produção foram ilustrações para livros, mas muitas também foram vendidas separadamente. Seu estilo cresce a partir da arte flamenga, mas tem um sabor fortemente francês. Muitas de suas imagens contêm detalhes fascinantes e informativos sobre o cotidiano das classes média e alta do período. Sua combinação de detalhados retratados interiores dos assuntos domésticos triviais  era original e altamente influente na arte francesa, e também no exterior. Suas gravuras são, entre outras coisas, uma paródia do estilo. A maioria de suas imagens tem um caráter ilustrativo.

Discípulo de Desargues
Em 1641 ele começou a freqüentar aulas de perspectiva ministradas pelo matemático e arquiteto Girard Desargues (1591-1661) onde aprendeu outros aspectos técnicos de representação. Bosse não só adotou esses métodos, mas publicou uma série de obras entre 1643-1653 para explicá-los e promovê-los

Em 1648, quando Cardeal Mazarino criou a Académie royale de peinture et de escultura, Bosse foi feito um dos membros fundadores. No entanto a divulgação dos métodos de Desargues embrenharam-no em uma polêmica com Charles Le Brun e seus seguidores, que tinham métodos diferentes, e adotavam a crença de que o "gênio" ao invés de método técnico deve ser o guia para a criação de obras de arte. Em 1661 Bosse foi forçado a retirar-se da Academia, e criou sua própria escola como uma alternativa.

This week, Ed cracks open one of his favorite west coast-styled Double IPAs from the Jersey Shore.
Summertime can be a fun excuse for a trip to the shore but for those of us on the east coast, that can also mean the imminent threat of a potential hurricane. With each hurricane there's the risk of a coastal evacuation, two words no one ever wants to hear, as it's just a terrible situation. Well, the folks at Cape May Brewing Company have taken those two words and really made them something great!
Though it's still a relatively small operation, one that consists of about 10,000 barrels annually, Cape May Brewing has taken New Jersey by storm, becoming one of the Jersey Shore's predominant beers, while branching into most of eastern Pennsylvania. Started in 2011 at the Cape May Airport by three gentlemen, the company now boasts more than 100 different sudsy offerings – many of which are earning awards at both local and national beer tasting events – and many of which are worth your time. One of Cape May Brewing's best efforts is Coastal Evacuation, a year-round west coast-styled Double IPA that has become a staple of their lineup.
When cracking it open, you're immediately greeted by the sweet smell of hops, with maybe just a hint of citrus and other fruit. It smells really good and left my mouth salivating. The look of it is one that might entice most IPA enthusiasts – a slightly hazy, unfiltered, medium-bodied, beer. As I'm pouring, the off-white head is noticeable, though my pour didn't necessarily do any justice. And then there's the taste – oh, the sweet, sweet taste.
From the very first sip, your taste buds are greeted to that which your nose enjoyed – a citrusy, piney bitterness. And, to be quite honest, the two are balanced out very nicely. Some claim they can taste a hint of melon described on the label, but maybe my pallet is simply not refined enough just yet. The finish is a little on the bitter side and might leave you wanting to take a few more sips of this very drinkable beer. You would have no problem putting two of these bad boys away in one sitting but, after that, be careful because not only is it a somewhat filling brew, it'll also leave you feeling no pain quickly.
The overall score for Coastal Evacuation on BeerAdvocate is a 3.88 (out of 5), which is probably pretty close to my personal score, which is 8.2 (out of 10) beer glasses. You might have a tough time finding it depending on where you are, but if you do, a six-pack of 12-ounce bottles will set you back $11 or $12, which is a solid price for the quality of this beer. Check out Cape May Brewing on social media to locate this fine libation.
Stay tuned for next week, when I sample – well, I will need to see what I have buried in my fridge, since it's the week of the Fourth of July.

Union Colliery Disaster Memorial
Resources » Sites in the forest » Union Colliery Disaster Memorial
The Union Colliery was owned by the Parkend Deep Navigation Collieries Co. Ltd, who, from 1892, developed an earlier pit on the same site. By 1899 about 100 tons of coal per day were being produced and about 100 men were employed. However, there were serious problems with water, and on 4th September 1902 the colliery was flooded by a sudden influx from abandoned workings. Seven men were trapped, and it was not until 9th September that pumping had reduced the water level sufficiently to allow rescuers to enter the workings. Three miners were found alive, but four had drowned: Herbert Gwatkin, Thomas and Amos James, and William Martin. The event is commemorated at the colliery site by a statue of two trapped miners embracing, commissioned by the Forest Freeminers, together with a commemorative plaque. The statue is the work of sculptor Matt Baker, and is carved from Pennant Sandstone from nearby Mine Train Quarry. Good. The statue is in good condition.


The Giraffe Ranch Farm just outside of Dade City Florida offers several different tours and safari experiences. Best of all, it is about an hour's drive from the Palm Harbor Florida area, so it is an easy day trip the entire family will enjoy!
Imagine being able to ride a camel and go on a 90 minute safari on camelback through the 47 acres of rolling hills that comprise this working farm! You can actually feed giraffe, pet a camel (children 5 and under must ride with an adult and children under age 3 are not allowed to ride the camel at all for safety concerns, which makes sense).
There are also 4-wheel drive safari tours with groups of up to 20 if you prefer this method of transportation or for those who want to 'do their own thing' you can take a guided tour on a Segway! Personally, I don't think I would want to encounter a warthog or a hippopotamus while on a Segway.
So remember, it isn't all about the beaches when you come to the Palm Harbor Florida area! There is so much more to do, like visit the Giraffe Ranch Farm in Dade City Florida! Imagine the look on your friends' faces when you tell them you rode a camel and fed a giraffe while on vacation in Florida – or for that matter, the look on your classmates face when you get to school and let them know that we have this great working farm right in our own backyard here in the Palm Harbor Florida area!!!

Generates reports about dependencies among several modules in the repository (repreport stands for repository report).since 1.4 This task is similar to the report task, except that instead of working on a single module you just resolved, it works with a set of modules in your repository.
Note that the set of modules for which you generate the report is determined by setting organisation module and revision and using a matcher, but also by the dependencies of these modules. No dependency is excluded.
Usually the most useful report is a graph, you can generate either a graphml file that you can then easily layout using yEd, or a dot file which is the format recognized by graphviz, which is a free tool which does automatic graph layout, and can thus be used to generate automatically a GIF or PNG of the dependencies between all your modules.
Limitation: this task requires to be able to browse the repository, and is thus limited to resolvers supporting repository listing. In particular, it means it doesn't work to report all organizations in a repository using m2compatible mode.
Moreover, to be able to list organizations, this task requires an [organisation] token in the resolver(s) used.
