Love this place!!! The staff is great!!! Rob was patient and helped us pick out something tasty!!!
Wow, I found some NC style BBQ in the heart of Port Richey. I had a pulled pork sandwich that had just the right amount of pork and BBQ sauce on it. It was so good!! They have pizza and that was selling fast so must be good too. They are right in the flea market. Really nice folks own it!!!! Go in and say hello!!!
this is a great place for food and drinks the favorite of mine is seafood soup..
This location actually is 9406 US HWY 19. And the food, atmosphere and service there is as always unbelievable. Restaurant is clean, food is fresh and very relaxing to sit and dine in. If you want chicken that is cooked with more care and Love and less grease than it's competition who's name starts with a P.... and just opened on Route 52 off of US 19. With a much friendlier staff, cleaner restaurant, better pricing and edible food that doesn't make a quick exit or make u sick. Dine here. Bucks well spent!
Really enjoyed my first foray into Polish cuisine. The peroigies were delish!! The owners are veryfriendly and the place is very clean. Highly reccomend this little slice of Poland for those craving Northern European cuisine!
Really good. The people are really nice. Food is good. I asked for my pierogi's to be fried with butter so they crisp up a bit. Oh yeah good. Only con is they need more choices on their menu(the reason for the 4 stars). Go give polish food a try. They alway have polish kielbasa and potatoes.
Great authentic homemade Polish food. Owned by a Polish couple whom are the only employees. You Must try the soups! Dill Pickle soup is my favorite. I know it sounds weird but it is surprisingly delicious. Peirogies and stuffed cabbage are good.
Their food is very fresh and tastes delicious!!! The waitress is very attentive!!! And the food came out fairly quickly! Def a little treasure!! Can't complain about one thing! I had the veggie omelette, it was great!!
While this restaurant is listed as american traditional it has Greek and Mediterranean influence. We found out that Pamela is actually Greek so we all tried something different. One tuna salad melt with chicken noodle soup, the Greek sampler plate, taco salad and the Monte Cristo sandwich. Everybody LOVED their dish and the service was super friendly. Refills were timely. They were running a Facebook check in special so we even got an unexpected break on the price. If you're thinking of trying this place I'd say do it. We'll be back!
My family and I have been going to Pams for years now and never had an issue! great food and staff! awesome prices! I love just about everything they have! super clean too! they are very accommodating to families, if you have small children and want a good place to eat, this is it. It's diffidently a gem! Pams will continue to be a repeat and family favorite!
Always been my favorite Thai food for many many years. Last time I went we had a bad experience observing the sushi prep guy eating with his gloved hand while making sushi for customers. Didn't change his gloves between making dishes or sitting down to eat his dinner, or to eat from the prep area. Pad Thai was very sweet, no heat, and we usually get a small salad with our meals, but not this time. I have gotten take out a few times since then, and will give them another chance in the dining room soon. I hope things go back to the way they were. I bragged about this place to anyone who had ears for over 15 years.
I love to eat here when I am in the area, especially lunch time. The price is right for lunch and the food is good. I especially love the Panang Curry and the Pad Thai. Pad Thai is not always good at many Thai restaurants I have been to because they get the ratios wrong on the fish sauce. Orchid Thai does it right. The establishment is small and the atmosphere feels more like a lunch place than a dinner. Be careful when you order spicy, medium is even VERY spicy. I recommend spice just be careful how you order it.
Tonight, after a hideous day, I just needed some comfort food, and Orchid's was on the menu. The maternal unit, the husbeast and myself headed the handful of blocks from Mom's place to their store front, only to find them packed! We only waited a little bit of time as they cleaned up a table and sat us. Our waitress was amazing, she took our order, looking rather shocked when my husband ordered his meal Thai Hot. Seriously, he means it. He wants to cry and sweat when he eats his soup. Me, i can't handle it... but I digress, she put the order in and brought out the pepper tray too. I ordered the Chicken Sateh, Mom ordered the Sampler platter and the Husbeast ordered the Noodle soup with beef and meatballs, we had an order of fried rice for the table. Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. The food came out quick and hot and nothing was left on our plates in the end. If you like Thai desserts, I suggest you try the Mango Sticky Rice. It's Delicious!
This is the ONLY Japanese restaurant I will go to for sushi! always fresh, great prices. I love their cold green tea and the Fire bird roll! A must! super clean, friendly staff and fresh food. Can't go wrong!
I've been to this place twice - once, two years ago while visiting my brother; and yesterday, again while visiting my brother. I'm sure there's a bunch of great items on the menu, but both times I've gotten the Donburi, at the suggestion of my brother. Let me tell you, Donburi is the TRUTH. tuna or salmon, it doesn't matter. get it, and you'll be happy.
I didn't feel like the food was authentic at all. The chips were old, thin and not crunchy. The salsa was ok in taste but had huge chunks of canned tomatoes, not fresh ones. I ordered a regular burrito and it looked like an enchilada. I even asked the waitress if my order was correct. The burrito only consisted of carne asada- no beans, rice, pico de gallo, etc. Sour cream and guacamole is extra, but I didn't care for that. Service wasn't that great either, but very nice staff. I had to ask for utensils and napkin. I guess I was spoiled with good quality Mexican food back home in California because I didn't taste an ounce of it here.
I love this place. It's one of those hidden treasures you find in a small town. I always order their chicken and bacon quesadilla. Always tastes homemade and it's always consistent quality. Their salsa is the only salsa I can eat entirely (usually I'll just dip it in the salsa but avoid chunks of tomato) but OH MY GOD it's just so great. I go at least once a week or so. I'm always craving them on a Sunday, which is when they're closed, but I love the food regardless.
There aren't many good Mexican food options in West Pasco that I've found but Gringos is probably one of the best I've tried. I'll be honest, I don't know if it's authentic. I don't have a damn clue what "authentic Mexican food" tastes like. I've never been to Mexico and never been close enough with someone of Mexican origin who would make me such a delicious treat. At times I wonder how many of the people who do claim to have this vast knowledge of "authentic Mexican food" actually know what they're talking about. Just a random thought I often have. Either way, here's my break down of Gringos. The Chips and Salsa: The chips are basic restaurant chips. Nothing special. The salsa on the other hand has to be made in house. It's made with stewed and fresh tomatoes. It's very chunky. There's just enough kick without being overwhelming. I liked it. The Burrito Supremo: It's just like it sounds, a big burrito covered with the works. It had sour cream, guacamole, cheese, lettuce and tomato. I got the steak Burrito Supremo. The steak was chopped not sliced. It was nice and tender, really good. Gringos is inexpensive, the portions are big and the service was friendly. With only a week and a half left in Florida I'm kinda kicking myself for not trying this place sooner.
Went in around 945pm was dead. Ordered some fries which took awhile... however they were HOT and FRESH!!!! Love me some fresh McDonald's fries!!!

musica intima, internationally-renowned for its warm and engaging stage presence, impeccable musicianship and unique perspective on ensemble singing, has earned a reputation as Canada's most exciting vocal ensemble. What makes musica intima truly unique is that the singers rehearse, perform and function as a collective. In rehearsal they self-direct, exchanging ideas freely while exploring their own musical creativity. In performance, they engage the audience with a spontaneity and directness all their own.
Founded in 1992, musica intima has become an integral part of Vancouver's cultural fabric. In addition to an annual series of self-produced concerts, musica intima collaborates with other arts organizations and artists such as the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Pacific Baroque Orchestra, Turning Point Ensemble, composer/musician Caroline Shaw, cellist Steven Isserlis, pianist/composer Uri Caine and writer/broadcaster Bill Richardson. The ensemble has been involved in recording projects with artists as diverse as the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, composers Owen Underhill and Peter Hannan, and rock musician Matthew Good. A distinctly Canadian ensemble, musica intima regularly commissions and premieres works by Canada's leading composers, including Jennifer Butler, José Evangelista, Kristopher Fulton, Jaqueline Leggatt, Jocelyn Morlock, Jordan Nobles, Michael Oesterle and Jeffrey Ryan. In 2016, the ensemble was commissioned by the Contemporary Art Gallery (Vancouver) to perform Turner Prize-shortlisted artist Janice Kerbel's operatic performance piece Doug.
musica intima has graced the stages of some of the world's best-known festivals and concert halls. The ensemble is frequently heard on national and international radio broadcasts and has released eight commercial recordings, five of which can be found on the ATMA Classique label: 20 (2012), into light (2010), o nata lux (2008), forgotten peoples (2006), invocation (2004), and clear (2002). CBC-produced nativité (2002) was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award and the ensemble's debut album musica intima (1998) was nominated for a Juno Award. The all-Canadian album into light (2010) won the Western Canadian Music Award for Classical Album of the Year, garnered two Juno nominations, and received a 10-star review in BBC Music Magazine. The ensemble's most recent recording, THIRST, on the Redshift Records label, features contemporary works co-produced with Turning Point Ensemble.
Mark Timmings is a multidisciplinary artist who explores perceptions of place by appropriating data and enfolding them into the domain of art. He creates works that intimate an infinite and vital web of interconnecting natural cycles and human patterns by transforming field observations and aspects of science into aesthetic considerations and contemplative experiences. His bodies of work operate as conceptual machines that are driven by algorithmic systems. They are ultimately transferable and open-ended. Ongoing projects include Meteorologic (2010–), print works that conjoin grids and colour fields to track temperature patterns and personal memory; and The Tide Songbook (2012–), musical compositions that transform tidal predictions, moon phases and the solar calendar into illuminated scores and multilayered sonorous performance art. In 2014, the Vancouver Chamber Choir, under the direction of Jon Washburn, presented a performance of Mark Timmings and Stephen Morris's algorithmic musical composition Narvaez Bay: Tidal Predictions for 2012 aboard Cedric, Nathan and Jim Bomford's floating art installation Deadhead. The performance was commissioned by Other Sights for Artists' Projects. In 2015, an audio installation of Narvaez Bay, including Timmings's monumental illuminated score and a recording of the Vancouver performance, was exhibited in Montreal at Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain.
Timmings is also a graphic designer specializing in visual arts and cultural projects. His design career spans over three decades and includes collaborations with artists, writers, curators and cultural institutions from across Canada. In 1991, Timmings served as a board member and director of communications for the Congress of the International Council of Graphic Design Associations in Montreal. From 1994 to 1997, he taught design and graphic standards at the Université du Québec (Outaouais). Timmings has received over 100 international awards for his publication designs. He has recently collaborated on artist book projects with Roy Arden, Hank Bull, Geoffrey Farmer and Etienne Zack.
Mark Timmings lives and works on Saturna Island, British Columbia, where he is a member of the local community choir.

He has sung as part of university, community, madrigal, and opera choruses, and played lute and viola da gamba as a collegium member in Montreal, Seattle and Atlanta. He has been lute accompanist with Schola Cantorum (Atlanta) and viol consort member for Robin Lane Viols (Atlanta). Morris was a board member of the Viola da Gamba Society of America from 1996 to 2002. His publications include a biographical sketch of the 17th-century English composer of music for violins and viols, William Young, in the journal of the Viola da Gamba Society of Great Britain; a review of music by the 17th-century English composer of music for viols, John Hingeston, in the journal of the Viola da Gamba Society of America; editions of music by William Young for the British viol society and for PRB Productions (Albany, CA); and editions of music by Young's contemporary and compatriot, John Moss, also for PRB Productions. Currently, he is editing the lute music of Vincenzo and Michelangelo Galilei, father and brother of the astronomer Galileo Galilei. With Mark Timmings, Stephen Morris composed Narvaez Bay, Tidal Predictions for 2012, an algorithmic work based on the tidal dynamics around Saturna Island and evoking the medieval mathematical tradition of Musica Universalis (Music of the Spheres).

Q: How to render string including JSX component with PascalCase in React? I have a React app, receiving the blog post data from external cms. The data is raw HTML as a string, like this:

hello

some text

...

Now, I want to replace img HTML tag with a jsx component called Img (with capital I).
I do it with:
let postContentOptimized = post.replace("img", "Img");

But it automatically converts Img to img (changes PascalCase).
I also tried with other component names, and it throws this error:
React will try to recreate this component tree from scratch using the error boundary you provided, ErrorBoundary.

A: I found a package called react-jsx-parser.
Its documentation isn't straightforward, thus I skipped it the first time I found it.
Here's how to do it if you're confused like me:
<JsxParser components={{ components used in your string }} jsx={the string you want to parse} />

example:
<JsxParser components={{ Img }} jsx="
hello
" />

Since 2012 I have pointed out, repeatedly, that the Singapore Budget presentation gives a deeply misleading picture of the Government's finances. I have written innumerable times on how the Budget does not follow the best practice set down in the IMF guidelines. For those interested in the history and why it is important that we stay in step with International practice, I have given the links below.
This year's Budget was presented by the new Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat, a contemporary of mine at Cambridge University. However even though the talking head doing the presentation has changed there was no greater clarity this year than when Tharman was presenting the Budget in previous years.
I have repeatedly called attention to the fact that the fiscal position shown in the Budget bears no relation to the real fiscal position of the Government. The position shown to us is a work of fiction. The fiscal position stated in the Budget (Annex C to the Budget Statement) does not include net revenue from land sales, investment income, interest income or dividends.
It is only by including all the items listed above that we can obtain the real cash surplus of the Government (before adjustments in the market value of investments and assets). The last figure available is one of $22.4 billion in 2014. In fact the real cash surplus has been at or above $20 billion every year since 2009. Here is a table showing you the amounts.
However even this is not the full picture since it only includes dividends and investment income paid to the Government and does not include the earnings of other Government corporate entities and statutory boards such as Temasek, GIC, MAS and Changi Airport Group (whose investment programme taxpayers are financing through the Budget). The Government does publish a figure for what is called the General Government surplus but this is not available in any of the Budget papers.
The total value of the general government surplus between 2007 and 2014 was $202.6 billion.
The Budget position presented to Parliament, while including a contribution from the returns on the reserves called the Net Investment Returns Contribution (NIRC), the basis for the calculation of which is opaque and discretionary, obviously bears no relation to the general government, or even the government surplus.
It also borders on fraud by classifying Top-Ups to Endowments and Trust Funds as spending when they are in fact savings which are meant to be spent over several years. I have repeatedly drawn attention in a series of blog posts to the trick the Finance Minister has played in past years by matching the whole of the NIRC with Top-Ups to Endowments and Trust Funds. The aim is obviously to fool the public into thinking that the Government has no spare resources for greater social spending by engineering a small deficit or surplus every year.
Meanwhile the money allocated to these funds disappears from Parliamentary scrutiny and seems to get mysteriously spent without any accounting to Parliament for tangible results from that spending. In particular I would cite the Productivity Fund where over $2 billion has been spent apparently without any reckoning or tangible benefit.(please see below for links to previous blogs on this subject). I rose all these issues of dishonest budgeting when I attended the Hri Kumar forum in 2014 but he chose to dodge my questions then and the PAP continue to dodge them just as they have since 2012.
Even if we ignore the misclassification of fund transfers as spending, still the Budget every year underestimates revenues and overestimates expenditures in a pattern that is too consistently positive to be the outcome of random error. The total excess amounted to nearly $22 billion from 2007 to 2014. The IMF have said in their IMF Country Report dated July 2015 that such large errors cannot be the fault of a poor forecasting model as the Government has had ample time to correct any mistakes and therefore it is deliberately conservative in an effort to disguise the actual resources available for spending.
As a result of my consistently drawing attention to the Government's magic tricks with the Budget over a period of years, one of the fellows from the LKY School at NUS, Mukul G. Asher, has written an article backing me up. You can read his "Budgeting data gaps and fiscal policy debate" in Asian Pathways, a blog of the Asian Development Bank Institute, calling for greater transparency in the Budget and echoing me in pointing out that hiding the enormous Government surpluses is aimed at silencing calls for more social spending, which the country can easily afford. In fact, if I were forced to reduce my economic arguments to one point it would be this. That when the figures are brought out into the open it becomes clear that we can afford more, austerity enforced by the PAP is as unnecessary as left wing opposition calls for Robin Hood taxes or cutting the defence budget to spend on health.
Every year I have called for the value of the government's land holdings to be included in the Budget and Asher also points out that revenue from land sales is a recurring item because land is not sold but leased. It should therefore be properly included in operational revenues and not be treated as part of the reserves, which under the Constitution as amended by the PAP, cannot be spent without Presidential approval.
However it is too easy to blame the Government for hiding the figures and lying about the resources available. As I have shown the true figures are publicly published and relatively easy to find. They can be simply analysed by anyone who knows anything about Government finances or who has studied macroeconomics. Even the Budget revenue estimates contain the figures for revenue from land sales, dividends and interest and investment income. The Government surplus can be calculated from the Budget documents even if the correct figure should be the General Government surplus. That can be found in the Monthly Digest of Statistics, though it is always at least a year out of date.
The fact is that the Opposition are sadly lacking in even basic numeracy or economic competence. Sadly it seems they are unable to read a balance sheet or cash flow statement, something that any first year accountancy undergraduate should be able to do.
The PAP have adopted a deliberate policy over decades of dumbing down and infantilising Singaporeans and, given their control of every aspect of people's lives, they have largely succeeded. Voters have regressed from the political awareness that they had even in the 1980s and have come to think of their MPs as mere estate managers responsible for seeing that their lifts are working and their trash is collected, not as representatives elected to protect their interests in Parliament by holding the Executive accountable for its actions. If Parliament is debating in a fog, then it is at least partially the fault of the MPs and the public.
The fog analogy reminds me of an old story. It is often said that a Ministerial answer to a Parliamentary question time in the UK is like being stuck in a car in a fog in remote countryside and asking someone for directions. The Minister's answer to the question "Where am I" would be "You're in a car in a fog". In other words he would try to get away with giving you no more information than you already knew.
The ability for Ministers to dodge uncomfortable questions are a thousand times greater in Singapore. But since JBJ lost his seat they have not had to worry about being given an uncomfortable time in Parliament. Our Opposition MPs are so scared that what happened to JBJ will happen to them, and that they will lose the lucrative cash flow from being an MP and administering a Town Council, that they are prepared to sit quietly in the fog, or in our case the haze, and not ask any real questions.
The Colour of the Money Bribing You is White on White.
A clear and precise piece which is not always the case, unfortunately. You hit the nail on the head when you state that the real aim of the Budget exercise is to fool the public that the government does not have the resources to fund welfare and other programs. The man behind this thinking in none other than LKY. Remember how the great man defended his policy of not being transparent with the returns from GIC? He said that if the public saw the high returns they will ask for more welfare. Times have not changed. The present lot have no ideas of their own.
True. LKY had a eugenics based view of Asians. He saw his own people as racially and then through selective breeding genetically superior and fit to lead or deal with the figures. He saw all other Singaporeans as serfs basically needing a firm hand and to have the spur constantly applied to their hides in case they got weak. Or in case they should develop a welfare dependence mentality like the weaklings in the west.
LTK of the WP completes 25 years this year as an opposition MP in Parliament. I can't remember what his best speech was about. Simple Maths will show that he is quite content to be yet another millionaire legislator. Who cares about the Budget ?
Well, I care about the budget. I'd like to break it down for everyone but of course I can't get the required transparency. I have come to view WP as the source of the problem and not a solution to the problem.
The spin was that CSM was a Finance Minister in waiting ! Should not be too difficult to ask all the inconvenient questions ? I am totally disappointed with their horrendous performance and preparation for the debate on public sector and ministerial salaries in the last Parliament. I believe in a mature democracy, there is enough room for the incumbent and two opposition parties. The only difference between the WP and PAP is the colour of their shirts.
How can a rational or intelligent person believe that the figures stated in the BUdget Papers are representative of the true state of affairs of the nation's financial position?
Can any decent person rule out the plausibility of fudging, of intentional deceit of misleading the public? Can the govt [PAPy-controlled, mind you] be trusted?
Projecting half-truths has been a political hobby of the PAP or PAPy-controlled govt for donkey years.

This month's book was A Thousand Days in Venice: An Unexpected Romance by Marlena de Blasi. Unfortunately, we had a limited number of copies in the system, so not everyone got a chance to read it in time :( But will still had a good meal and interesting discussion anyways.
The group was pretty split on the book. Heather adored it and thought it as the most romantic thing ever. Katie got fed up with it quickly. Maria was surprised to find out it wasn't fiction. But we could all agree that the food descriptions were pretty scrumptious. And that Venice sounded divine.
A movie this book reminded me of was Sum mertime with Katherine Hepburn. Another story of a mature woman traveling to Venice and getting caught up in the romance of it all…though with not quite as happy results. Georgeous capture of 1950s Venice! Take a look here at the beautiful clothes and café!
Katie brought in a great old cookbook she found called Duncan Hines Adventures in Good Carving and the Art of Carving in the Home, which you can take a peek at here.
Heather shared Dolce Italiano: Desserts from the Babbo Kitchen featuring the recipes of Gina, from Heat! Another funny Heat connection…the author of ATDiV moves to the same town the Buford studied butchery in in Tuscany in the sequel!
Next month's book is available for checkout at the front desk, or can be found here: A homemade life : stories and recipes from my kitchen table by Molly Wizenberg.
Looking forward to seeing you on Monday September 12th. Room opens at 6:30pm for setup and food sharing. Discussion starts promptly at 7pm.

Nepenthe Homebrew Moving from Woodberry to Hampden, Expanding to Serve Beer and Food
Ed Gunts
The planned new location for Nepenthe Brewing Co. on Falls Road.
After experiencing two floods in four years, the owners of Nepenthe Homebrew are changing locations and expanding.
Husband and wife owners Brian Arnold and Jill Antos announced today that their company, Nepenthe Homebrew, will be relocating from Meadow Mill in Woodberry to 3622-24 Falls Road in Hampden in the spring of 2018.
They're also planning to add a brewery and taproom to their retail and brew-on-premises concept. The name of the expanded operation will be Nepenthe Brewing Co.
The announcement came after Baltimore's liquor board voted 3-to-0 to approve a restaurant license for the Falls Road location, previously home to David's 1st and 10 Sports Bar and Caribbean Products. The applicants also plan to apply to the state for a Class 7 Micro-Brewery License.
Arnold told liquor board members that he and Antos will be teaming up with Brendan Kirlin, former partner at Le Garage, to bring the business to Hampden.
According to Arnold, the expanded operation will provide a mix of modern and experimental beer styles – with food to match – while continuing to sell equipment and ingredients for homebrewers. The taproom will employ pub-style service rather than traditional table service, creating a casual setting with a mix of communal and bar seating.
The 11,000 square-foot building on Falls Road will include a 3,000-square-foot taproom and a 10-barrel brew house with 80 barrels of cellar capacity. The building also includes an indoor/outdoor "flex-space" in the rear that will be used for additional seating and events during the warmer months.
The applicants did not ask to provide live entertainment or outdoor table service.
The designer is Schamu Machowski + Patterson Architects, with construction by J. C. Porter Construction.
To qualify for a new restaurant license in Baltimore, applicants have to make a capital investment of at least $200,000 and provide seating for at least 75 patrons. Caroline Hecker, the attorney for Nepenthe, said the business plans to make a capital investment of $2.1 million, including $500,000 for equipment, and the restaurant will have 124 seats plus 18 bar seats.
Nepenthe's present space in Meadow Mill.
Hecker told the liquor board that Nepenthe's planned move was prompted in part by their desire to get out of a flood plain. The business has had to close for prolonged periods to clean up after two heavy storms.
"Meadow Mill tends to flood, so they are looking for new space on higher ground," she told the board.
The new location also provides an opportunity to expand, the business owners say.
"We're thrilled to be a part of Baltimore's vibrant brewing scene. This community has shown us so much support," Antos said in a statement. "We're looking forward to creating a new neighborhood place where people can grab a beer flight with something to eat and hang out, learn to brew, shop for their homebrew supplies, or all of the above. We love making beer and we're so excited to share our passion."
"Having a homebrew shop under the same roof as the brewery gives us a tremendous amount of flexibility," Arnold added. "We will be the kind of place where the tap list changes regularly, and where people can also learn about the ingredients and processes that go into making good beer."
The food component "will allow us to enhance the experience with pairings and culinary twists," Kirlin said.
Nepenthe opened its homebrew shop in February of 2013 and was named after a drug described in Homer's Odyssey as banishing grief or trouble from a person's mind. It offers equipment and ingredients for home producers of beer, wine, cider and other fermented beverages, and also serves as a brewing education center where customers can brew in-store and learn the beer-making process.
The owners say Nepenthe Homebrew will continue to operate at its current location at 3600 Clipper Mill Road during construction and will move to Falls Road when the work is complete.
The anticipated taproom hours for the new space will be Monday to Thursday from 4 p.m. to midnight, Fridays from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Sam Himmelrich of Himmelrich Associates, the developer of Meadow Mill, said he is aware of the project, since the Falls Road building was listed for the liquor board hearing.
If they have other plans, he said, "I wish them all the best."

Report: After more than 70 years Nikon ends domestic camera production, planning move to Thailand
Posted by Chris Roubis on Dec 21st, 2020
The outside of Nikon's Sendai Factory.
Japanese publication AERAdot has reported Nikon is ending domestic camera production in Japan. According to the report, Nikon will be moving camera production from its Sendai Nikon factory in the Tōhoku region North of Tokyo to its Thailand factories in an effort to reduce costs.
Nikon's Sendai factory covers nearly 27,000 square meters and has been running near-continuously since opening in 1971. The first camera to be produced in the facility was the Nikon EM, released in 1979. Since then, the Sendai factory has been the centerpiece for Nikon's camera production and has provided technical assistance to overseas production. The first Nikon camera produced in Japan was a line of twenty experimental cameras, which were made in the Nippon Kokagu factory in 1946.
A Nikon Z7 chassis on the production line in the Sendai Factory.
As of 2018, the last time we visited the Sendai factory, it was being operated by 352 employees who oversaw CNC machining, hands-on construction and quality assurance to ensure every camera and lens that left the factory was thoroughly checked and tested.
In a statement made to AERAdot, Nikon General Manager of Video Division, Hirotaka Ikegami, says the factory will continue to be used as a start-up factory for new business endeavors, with an emphasis on production technology and mobility.
As for camera production in Thailand, Hirotaka Ikegami says the Thai plant (machine-translated) 'will continue to produce high-performance, high-precision parts required for [camera] products.'

Production of Nikon's Z6 and Z7 mirrorless cameras reportedly started its move to the Thailand factory back in October and Nikon's D6 DSLR is also reported to be moved entirely to the Thai factory by the end of 2021.
We have contacted Nikon for confirmation of this report and further comments on the matter. We will update this article accordingly when we receive a response.
You can look through more images of Nikon's Sendai factory from our tour review we published back in September 2018.
Editor's Note: (Monday, December 21, 2020 at 8:40 AM): A previous version of this article stated production was moving from Japan after 41 years. This was specifically in reference to Nikon's Sendai factory, which produced its first SLR in 1979. We have corrected the article to clarify that Nikon has been producing cameras domestically for more than 70 years.

Q: Distinguishing between an entangled and non-entangled state (mainly $S(H_A) \otimes S(H_B)$ vs. $S(H_A \otimes H_B)$) Say I have two quantum systems $A$ and $B$ I can look at the joint (composite) system $AB$ which is given by $H_{AB} \in H_A \otimes H_B$
Measuring a subsystem with respect to a collection of measurement matrices $\textbf{M} = \{M_i\}_{i \in I} \in Meas_{I}(H_A)$ acts as measuring $AB$ with respect to $\textbf{M} \otimes \mathbb{I}_B = \{M_i \otimes \mathbb{I}_B\}_{i \in I}$
Q: Can I do this with entangled states?
I know that making a measurement causes the entangled state of say 2 qubits to decompose in to two states.  If I understand correctly, they are not entangled anymore.  Now because of this we can seperate the states in to a sum of the product states $|AB> = \sum \alpha_j|j> \otimes |\psi_j>$ over all basis states $|j> \in S(H_A)$. What this says to me is that we can some how distinguish between these qubit states (hence they are not entangled anymore).  Do I have this right?
This leads me in to the difference between $S(H_A) \otimes S(H_B)$ vs. $S(H_A \otimes H_B)$.  Now the first case is not entangled and we have the "product states" of two wavefunctions/state vectors , but in the second case we have some sort of combination (composite?) of states?  I would guess this is when the states are entangled and after measurement they decompose in to say $|\psi> \otimes  |\phi> \in S(H_A) \otimes S(H_B)$.
Now if I look at an entangled 2-qubit state that I know is entangled $|\Phi> = |\Phi^+> = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0>|0> + |1>|1>) \in H_A \otimes H_B$ (as written out in some notes) I see that we can have an entangled state embedded somehow in the tensor of two state vectors in Hilbert space.  I don't know if this is supposed to be $S(H_A \otimes H_B)$ or $S(H_A) \otimes S(H_B)$ or something else completely.
Edit:  I removed some tensor math that was incorrect. I had initially thought that if some mixture of states could be decomposed and have just a $\otimes$ and nothing such as an addition or subtraction operator it. I know that is very rudimentary but from my basic understanding of product states: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_state  I see that if a probability density can be written as the tensor product of two different probability densities, then we have a non-quantum correlation, although in the wiki article above, this is neither quantum or classical in nature.  I however also see that a mixed state such as $\rho_{AB}=\frac{1}{2}(|0_A0_B⟩⟨0_A0_B|+|1_A1_B⟩⟨1_A1_B|)$ only has classical correlations. Furthermore I have found that Two states $\rho, \sigma$ are called $\textbf{perfectly distinguishable}$ if there exists a measurement $M \in Meas(H) \text{ with } I = {0,1,...}$ such that $p_0(M,\rho) = 1 = p_1(M,\sigma)$. Now from my reading, in the case of a von Neumann measurement $M = \{M_i\}, p_i$ simplifies to $p_i = tr(M_i \rho)$ and in the case of a complete von Neumann measurement $M = \{ |i \rangle \langle i | \}$, $p_i$ simplifies to $p_i = tr(|i \rangle \langle i | \rho) =  \langle i | \rho |i \rangle$
So basically, I just have to take the traces of the respective measurements on probability densities, if they are equal (hence perfectly distinguishable) then the system of, say qubits, are not entangled, otherwise they are?  Is this correct?
Thank you,
Brian

Trump's DOJ Just Came to Defense of Christian Baker
Rusty Weiss — September 8, 2017
The Trump administration weighed into one of the marquee cases of the coming Supreme Court term Thursday, backing a Christian baker in a dispute over public accommodations laws and religious liberty.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus (or "friend-of-the-court") brief supporting a Christian baker in Colorado who declined to create a wedding cake with a pro-LGBT message for a gay couple planning their nuptials. The baker, Jack Phillips, was sanctioned by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for violating the state's public accommodations law, which prohibits discrimination against certain protected classes in commercial transactions. The Justice Department argues the state is coercing Phillips into creating expression with which he disagrees, in violation of the First Amendment.
"The Department filed an amicus brief in this case today because the First Amendment protects the right of free expression for all Americans," Justice Department spokeswoman Lauren Ehrsam said in a statement. "Although public-accommodations laws serve important purposes, they—like other laws—must yield to the individual freedoms that the First Amendment guarantees. That includes the freedom not to create expression for ceremonies that violate one's religious beliefs."

The administration's filing came on the same day that over 80 congressional Republicans filed their own amicus brief in support of Phillips.
In the brief, the Department says that the high court has consistently ruled in favor of free expression where speech and general laws regulating conduct collide, and that requiring Phillips to create such expression intrudes upon his First Amendment rights.
"A custom wedding cake is a form of expression, whether pure speech or the product of expressive conduct," the brief reads. "It is an artistic creation that is both subjectively intended and objectively perceived as a celebratory symbol of a marriage."
"Forcing Phillips to create expression for and participate in a ceremony that violates his sincerely held religious beliefs invades his First Amendment rights," it adds.
The brief also emphasizes that it's arguments could not be leveraged in a challenge to an anti-discrimination law like the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits race and sex discrimination in the work place, private businesses, and public spaces.
"For the most part, individual First Amendment rights have coexisted comfortably with federal and state public accommodations laws," DOJ argues. "That is because those laws generally focus on preventing discriminatory conduct rather than modifying the content of expression. Under ordinary circumstances, content-neutral laws that regulate conduct rather than speech receive no First Amendment scrutiny, even where they have 'incidental' effects on speech."
The high court agreed to hear the dispute in June, though the case has not yet been scheduled for argument. The Supreme Court will reconvene from its summer recess on Oct. 2.

User camera > cv2.VideoCapture(user camera) > Resulting URL of Video Feed > cv2.VideoCapture(URL of video feed) for further usage
On my local machine, code cv2.VideoCapture(0) is returning a camera input from my webcam. So I think this will work the same way when I try to deploy it on Heroku. But what happen on the web is, there's no input from user webcam. How can I resolve this issue?
Here's my full app.py code
from flask import Flask, render_template, Response
import cv2

app = Flask(__name__)

camera = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

def gen_frames():
    while True:
        # Capture frame-by-frame
        success, frame = camera.read()
        if not success:
            break
        else:
            ret, buffer = cv2.imencode('.jpg', frame)
            frame = buffer.tobytes()
            yield (b'--frame\r\n'
                   b'Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n' + frame + b'\r\n')

@app.route('/video_feed')
def video_feed():
    return Response(gen_frames(), mimetype='multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=frame')

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(threaded=True, port=5000)

AD/CV: Garlic, Steel Pipe, Urea: International Trade Law Firm | Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, P.A.
Garlic. The International Trade Administration has initiated a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on fresh garlic from China for the period Nov. 1, 2015, through Oct. 31, 2016. This review will determine whether Qingdao Joinseafoods Co. Ltd. and Join Food Ingredient Inc. are eligible for individual AD duty rates.
Steel Pipe. In the preliminary results of its administrative review of the AD duty order on welded ASTM A-312 stainless steel pipe from Korea for the period Dec. 1, 2014, through Nov. 30, 2015, the ITA has determined a weighted average dumping margin of 1.91 percent for SeAH Steel Corporation and determined that LS Metal Co. Ltd. had no shipments of subject goods to the U.S.
Urea. The ITA is revoking the AD duty orders on solid urea from Russia and Ukraine, effective Dec. 20, 2016, after no domestic interested parties participated in the sunset reviews of these orders.
The ITA has also rescinded its administrative review of the AD duty order on solid urea from Russia for the period July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016. As a result, AD duties on entries of subject goods during this period will be assessed at the AD cash deposit rates required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.

State of emergency in Nigeria – Matters Arising
That our country, Nigeria, is in a state of severe security crises is no longer in doubt. From the northern savannahs to the creeks of the Niger Delta; from the southeast to the coastal plains of the southwest; every part of the country is embroiled in one form of conflict or the other.
The Niger Delta is experiencing resurgence of militancy and criminality; kidnap for ransom has become the order of the day in the southeast, and speedily extending its tentacles into the southwest; and the north is witnessing unprecedented levels of terrorism, brigandage and chaos.
Starting from October 1, 2010, when the first coordinated terrorist attack interrupted Nigeria's Independence Day celebrations at the Eagle Square in Abuja, the activities of terror groups and increasingly violent criminal gangs around the nation, particularly, the Boko Haram sect has enveloped the nation with a veil of insecurity and despair and has practically brought social and economic activities in north-eastern Nigeria to its knees. Bombing and sundry forms of fanatic depravity have turned most of the affected states into killing fields, the city centres and villages have become unmarked graves for the young and old, while life has since lost its sanctity.
As a step towards curbing the armed insurgency, on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, President Goodluck Jonathan declared a State of Emergency in three North Eastern states, namely Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa states. These states had become the epicentre of terrorist activities and armed insurrection against state and federal interests. The recent ambushing and cold blooded slaughter of 56 law enforcement officers, including operatives of the Nigerian Police and State Security Service, on May 7, 2013, by members of the Ombatse cult, in Nasarawa State and the increasingly outrageous and audacious nature of peddling violence, death and destruction by these murderous gangs made this declaration by government inevitable.
As a responsible corporate citizen committed to peace, security, unity and oneness of Nigeria, we, the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity), condemn unreservedly, the campaign of terror unleashed by the Boko Haram sect and other criminal gangs and elements unleashing terror on innocent citizens. We therefore, fully support the declaration of emergency rule in Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa states, as a prelude to containing the senseless and wanton killing of innocent Nigerians in these parts of the country. We also commend the decision of government not to thwart existing democratic governance structures within these states.
However, we are of the opinion that the "State of Emergency" declared by the Federal Government is a temporary measure and will suffice for the short term but falls short of what is required for the longer term. To ensure that normalcy finally returns to the affected areas and guarantee the restoration of the dignity of life, the Federal Government must develop a robust and effective strategy to tackle terrorism. Quality education, mass employment and youth-focused reorientation programs must take pre-eminence in government policy considerations going forward. Government policies aimed at tackling armed insurgency must not be mired in political considerations, as this has been the bane of efforts by the Federal Government to tackle this affront to our corporate existence as a nation. In the long term interest of peace and security, government should view, and respond to this security situation as a law enforcement challenge.
We are also deeply concerned by allegations that in the course of deploying military action to repress the Boko Haram insurgency, the Nigerian security forces are committing gross human rights violations, which, in turn, will only exacerbate the violence and amplify resentment and extremism from the host communities.
We urge Nigeria's security forces to clearly define the rules of engagement for these operations, and ensure that they are in consonance with United Nations "Universal Declaration of Human Rights", Articles 1 -30. Disciplined use of force must be applied in all operations, the lives and properties of civilians must be protected in any security response, and respect for human rights and the rule of law must also be held sacrosanct.
The planned release of arrested female suspects in the course of the lockdown of the volatile areas appears premature. Given that women have been reported to be involved in various violent and non-violent crimes committed within and outside the country, gender should not mitigate responsibility in criminal matters. Much as we are happy for the women to be released, we expect their release to be after due diligence has been done on their activities. This absolution exercise tends towards tokenism; and flies in the face of reason. It makes a mockery of Lady Justice by removing the veils from her eyes to tie up her hands.
Government must arrest, investigate and bring to book every individual or organisation found complicit in arranging, implementing or sponsoring terrorism and terrorist activities in Nigeria. In addition, all accusations and suspicions of human rights violations and extra-judicial killings by the security forces must also be investigated and their perpetrators brought to justice.
True and lasting peace in our dear nation, Nigeria can be achieved, but it must be founded on equal rights and justice to all. Let us make hay while the sun still shines for our dear country.

It is that time of year again when people are asking themselves how much they, or their company, can pay into their pension.
The answer to that depends on many things but one thing everyone is likely to benefit from is being able to readily look up how much has already been paid in. That is why our latest development to our secure site, SIPPs Online, makes this information available.
SIPPs Online is available to all advisers who have clients with us and all SIPP members. If you haven't already registered, simply contact your usual client manager to get this set up, or alternatively call 0344 443 0100, and you'll soon be joining the many others already using it.
To access the data, all SIPP members have to do is select the new 'Contributions' tab at the top of their dashboard. For advisers, the first step is to identify the client in question and click through to their member zone.
The 'previous tax years' option allows you to go back as far as the 2014-15 tax year, which is handy for anyone looking to use carry forward. Picking your own dates allows you to span tax years.
On screen (as illustrated below), you will see data for the effective date of the contribution, its type (personal net, tax relief on personal net, or employer gross), the amount and the total for the period. All this information can also be downloaded or printed for use with financial or tax planning.
Unfortunately, it's not all as easy as SIPPs Online.
Since 6 April 2016 those with a 'threshold income' of over £110,000 and an 'adjusted income' of over £150,000 have had to grapple with the widely-criticised and horribly complex tapering of the annual allowance. Within our Technical Takeaway that accompanied our 2016 seminar series, you will find our plain English explanation.
For employers, the slippery issue may be defining exactly what level of tax-relievable pension contribution HMRC's non-prescriptive 'wholly and exclusively' rule allows them to make for employees. Our guidance to SSAS trustees could apply equally to SIPP members if they have their own company from which they would like to make contributions to their SIPP.
There are also a few people who should not be contributing to a pension at all. They include, but are not limited to, those who have registered for certain forms of protection against the lifetime allowance, which would be invalidated were they or their employer to make a contribution.
In any event, we would always recommend speaking to your financial adviser before making a pension contribution.

Cannon Movie Tales: Puss In Boots
Okay, so.
First of all, hi, how are you, how's the family, you look great.
Now let's talk about Cannon Movie Tales.
The Cannon Group, for those who are unaware, is a film studio that were the reigning masters of B-movies in the 1980s. Over the course of their existence, they, as Wikipedia puts it, "produced a distinctive line of low-to medium-budget films" as well as extensive international investment and moving early and aggressively into the home video market. While they were founded in 1967, they remained a fairly earnest small studio for just over a decade, until they were purchased in 1979 by Israeli businessmen, cousins, and James Bond villains Menaheim Golan and Yoram Globus.
Golan and Globus, flush with the money Cobra Commander gave them for fighting G.I. Joe, immediately converted the small studio into an action movie grindhouse, because America had VCRs and America was THARSTY for cheap jingoism and explosions. With this strong market and an in-house star with Chuck Norris, Cannon expanded to making comedies, period pieces, sci-fi, fantasy, and even the occasional half-hearted stab at a prestige pic. They even snagged a best foreign film Oscar for The Assault, and were lauded by no less an authority than Roger Ebert for being, if not the highest quality film studio, certainly the one most likely to actually take a damn chance on something.
The downfall of Cannon is fascinating, a rambling tale of overreaching, overpromoting, and even attempting to live up to their supervillain names by taking on Spider-Man (unsuccessfully), Captain America (Golan eventually produced a direct to video disaster), and Superman (Successfully vanquished with The Quest For Peace, the film that started the studio's slow demise). But now's not the time for that. Now's the time to talk about one of those aforementioned chances: Cannon Movie Tales.
See, for all their various inroads into underserved genres, the one they hadn't yet cracked was the kiddie market. But as some of their international video releases were showing them, this market may be even more lucrative AND less discerning than the action flicks. So the time was right to do kids' movies in the traditional Cannon fashion: Fast and sloppy. The formula was simple:
1 - Crank out a script based on a classic fairy tale, preferably one that Disney hasn't already done.
2 - Drag a net through Hollywoo and London to see who wants a quick paycheck.
3 - Fill the rest of the cast with Israeli extras who will be hilariously dubbed by Americans later.
4 - Profit! (Maybe. Numbers were hard to find online.)
So let's dig into this series with one of their most famous outings.
THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKEN!
WHAT'S THE STORY?
Puss in Boots, a rather generically european tale most famous for its French incarnation, by the legendary Charles Perrault. In it, a miller's son is given as his only inheritance, a cat. This cat can talk, which doesn't really seem to shake anyone as much as it should. It asks him for a pair of boots, for no reason other than to give the illustrators something snappy to draw, and sets about convincing everyone his poor owner is "The Marquis of Carabas", CEO of the popular restaurant chain. This all works much better than it should.
HOW'S IT PADDED?
So here we run into a very odd feature of the Cannon Movie Tales: While the scripts are very bad, they tend to make very good choices in expanding the stories to feature length, and this one is particularly good. The cat asks for boots because when he wears them, he turns into a human. So now all of his miscellaneous trickery is a lot easier to buy, because you're not wondering why everyone who meets him isn't going "HOLY CRAP, A TALKING CAT!" So, as a result, most of the padding in this movie is just done by stretching out that trickery, which mostly works.
WHO'S SLUMMING?
As I said, all of these movies have at least one star that makes you say "Wait, really?"and it's for just that reason that this one is so Internet Famous. Because Puss, in his human aspect, is played by none other than Christopher Walken. Walken clearly has a blast with the role, and uses his natural charm and dancing ability to be pretty much the only thing the flick has going for it. This is especially notable in the dance sequences. It couldn't be clearer that the film had no choreographer to speak of, and while Walken can excellently improvise some soft shoe with the best of them, it gets really messy. He's the only actor of note in this film, but fans of Robin Hood may recognize Sean Connery's towheaded idiot son Jason, who plays the miller's son with his usual blonde gormlessness.
The strangest thing of all the Cannon Tales is that I actually genuinely like them. Oh, they aren't good, don't mistake me, but there's something so pleasant about their enthusiasm, and while the stars may be in it for a quick paycheck, they always give it 100%. I don't know how that happened. There's just something about Cannon that wins people over in spite of themselves. Next time around, we'll be looking at the only Cannon Tale that was based on a story Disney had already got to. Spoilers: They... they actually do a better job with it in several categories. We'll see who comes out on top next Monday!

I love these stories..
Watch Cannon Movie Tales online
This is great! I was looking for the follow up on the one you were hinting at... Snow White?, maybe Sleeping Beauty?, (probably Snow White) but it's not here. I've been trying to dig up info on The Frog Prince, which is how I found this. Anyway, I'm glad I found your blog.
The blogger November 21, 2018 at 12:26 PM
It was going to be Snow White. I still haven't mostly written, and I'll probably get around to finishing someday, but as the following post says, I'm on the new project now. I hope you found more of the frog prince, it's a little more obscure than the rest of them for some reason.And definitely check out their red riding hood if you have a chance. It's a trip.

Nigeria and Australia 2018
The 21st Commonwealth Games ended in a celebratory mood on April 15 in Gold Coast, Australia. About 6,000 athletes from 71 countries participated in the Games. Nigeria's representatives at the games included 92 athletes, who participated in nine events namely, Boxing, Wrestling, Badminton, Table Tennis, Athletics, Weightlifting, Para-lifting, Para-athletics and Basketball.
The host country, Australia, topped the overall medals table with 198 medals, comprising 80 gold, 59 silver and 59 bronze medals. England came second with 136 medals; 45 gold, 45 silver and 46 bronze medals while India came third with 66 medals, consisting 26 gold, 20 silver and 20 bronze medals. While South Africa came 6th with 13 gold, 11 silver and 13 bronze medals, Nigeria came ninth with nine gold, nine silver and six bronze medals. Comparatively, our last outing at Glasgow 2014 was better than Australia 2018 as Nigeria finished 8th with 36 medals, 11 of which were gold. Northern Ireland came last with one gold, seven silver and four bronze medals.
We commend the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, for keeping his promise to reward every medal won by our athletes at the games. Each gold medal attracted a cash reward of $5,000, while every silver and bronze medal won got a reward of $3,000 and $2,000 respectively. The relay teams, which won silver and bronze medals, got $9,000 and $7,000 cash rewards each. The incentive might have boosted the performance of our athletes at the games.
We recall that prior to the sports fiesta, the Sports Ministry worked with the various sports federations to prepare the athletes for the various competitions at the Commonwealth Games. Camping was prioritised and the release of funds was timely to ensure a successful outing at the games. But their preparation was not good enough.
Priority was placed on the sports where the country had huge medal prospects. This could explain the controversy that trailed the release of the final list of athletes who represented the country at the sports fiesta. The female table tennis players were reportedly left out of the event. However, the Nigeria Wrestling Federation did everything possible to ensure that we had a good outing at the games. This was why the Nigeria Wrestling Federation won three gold and two silver medals. In all, we did fairly well at the games.
Now that the 2018 Commonwealth Games is over, it is time to start a better and coordinated preparation for the next edition of the games, which comes up in Birmingham, England, in four years' time. There is no doubt that countries that performed well at the games were those that actually prepared early enough for the event. For us to improve in the games in future, we must train our athletes adequately. There is every need to expose them to foreign training.
We commend all our athletes for their encouraging outing, especially the para-lympians that won about half of the medals. But, there is still need for improvement. We should aim at coming tops at the competition. We have not fared well enough in the games so far. President Muhammadu Buhari should reward all the athletes and their officials for representing us at the games. Such rewards will spur others to participate in the games in the future and win laurels for the country. The government should ensure the welfare of all our athletes, especially the para-lympians. Government should take keen interest in their training. Government must do this because the para-lympians had represented us so well in many sporting events. Let all the stakeholders in our sports work together to improve our performance in future.

How Do The Healing Codes Improve Relationships?
The Healing Codes change the frequency of the negative images and beliefs which are stored as cellular memories. When that happens, the physiological stress is removed that caused you to view things in a negative light.
It was the changes in me and my improved relationships within the family that won my once-skeptical husband over to doing The Healing Codes for himself. The Healing Codes have deepened our marriage because now we can share what heart issues we're are working on, and can pray together and do Codes for each other and our children. We know each other in deeper ways as we share our healing journeys.
It's always helpful when we can be specific about memories, so if you do know of some traumas your daughter had, you can certainly pinpoint those in the prayer of intention (before you do the Code). However, there's no way you can rate the intensity for another person, so don't worry about that. Just do the Code (point to the healing centers) and keep a positive love picture or Truth Focus Statement in mind as you're doing the Code. Then, release it to her in love when you're done.
If you talk to your daughter, you can ask her how she feels about her physical condition, and maybe see if she has any other memories of feeling that way. Then do the Code for her on those things.
I read about how to do the Healing Code for someone else, but I'm confused. Do I walk through the entire process of identifying (what I think might be) heart issues and rating them 0-10 etc, or do I go right to the prayer and activating the healing centers? Specifically, I'd like to work on my daughter's health and specifically her frequent headaches and migraines. I've identified at least 5 important events that seem linked to this condition starting with a cord wrap during her birth, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Can you direct me to any information that would help me? Thank You.
