February 12, 2010 – Keasbey, N.J. – Wakefern Food Corp. and its cooperative members announced today that they have entered into an agreement with Minnesota-based SuperValu to purchase eleven Connecticut locations of Shaw's Supermarkets, a wholly owned subsidiary. The projected closing date for the deal is expected late March/early April subject to certain terms and conditions.
"The acquisition of these stores represents an exceptional growth opportunity for Wakefern and its members," stated Joseph Colalillo, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Wakefern. Once the acquisition is complete, ten store locations will be operated as ShopRite supermarkets and one store will become a PriceRite.
Currently, there are thirteen ShopRite stores and eight Price Rite stores throughout Connecticut. "The Connecticut market has been very supportive of ShopRite and PriceRite over the years and the addition of these stores allows us to expand our presence in the market," added Mr. Colalillo.
Ten of the Shaw's locations will be operated as ShopRite stores. In addition to a broad array of groceries and fresh produce, these ShopRite stores will have some or all of the services that ShopRite customers have come to expect including: a fresh bake shop; fresh meats; fresh seafood; full-service floral department; as well as a broad selection of natural and organic products. The stores may also offer a wide array of prepared foods including salad bars, freshly prepared hot foods, fresh oven-baked pizza, sushi bars, a selection of ethnic specialties for dining in or taking out, or a gourmet coffee bar.
One location will operate as PriceRite and will offer the fine quality and national brands that PriceRite shoppers look for, with a full selection of fresh produce and pre-cut, pre-packaged meat.
"We look forward to increasing our presence in Connecticut. Each one of our members who live and work in the area are excited to bring the high quality, low prices, great service and the sense of family and community spirit that the public has come to expect," added Colalillo.
The new stores will be closed for renovation and remerchandising and most will begin to reopen throughout the Spring/Summer of 2010. Pharmacy service will not be interrupted during the transition.


Why are there so few male nurses?
Efforts to promote gender equality in workplaces of all kinds may be widespread, but the number of men in nursing remains stubbornly low. Last year just 11.4% of registered nurses in the UK were male, according to figures from the Nursing & Midwifery Council – only a marginal increase from five years earlier, when they made up 11% of the workforce.
And the proportion of nursing students in the UK who are men hasn't shifted either, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency: in 2016 it stood at 11.6%, compared with 11.5% a decade earlier.
Davies questions whether it is the work itself that doesn't attract men, or whether other factors are to blame: "Is it something about people being conditioned at school? Is it suggested by careers officers? It isn't the best paid job in the world and I think people do look at salary and feel perhaps they want more than that." And yet once men are working as nurses, Davies says, the role is accepted by the vast majority of people. "I don't think anybody bats an eyelid anymore," she says.
At Queen's University Belfast, a campaign to increase the number of male nursing students that includes targeting all-boys schools – which are more common in Northern Ireland – has prompted a rise from 6% three years ago to 10% today.
I made my mind up that I wanted to be a nurse when I was 14 or 15. My mum's a care assistant so, subconsciously, that influenced me quite a bit. I did work experience in a school for children with learning disabilities, where a lot of the pupils had epilepsy, and that inspired me too. I knew I wanted to be in a caring profession.
I received a little bit of teasing from my friends, but no one ever questioned why I was doing it. And once I started my training they became more and more interested. That's always been the case.
I've been a nurse most of my working life, so being outnumbered by female colleagues is what I'm used to; I don't really notice it. Earlier in my career I had a few comments where patients seemed to have expected that the nurse caring for them was going to be a woman, but men were already becoming more commonplace in the profession when I qualified.
Now I'm in a more senior role, patients occasionally assume I'm a doctor if I'm addressing a complaint or helping them with an issue. I correct them, but I don't challenge them as to why they think that – it wouldn't be very useful for the caring relationship. And it doesn't bother me. Occasionally a female patient has preferred to have a female nurse look after her care needs and that's understandable, especially with elderly patients.
When I was a ward manager, or sister, I did get some people saying: "Shouldn't you be a brother?" But, actually, no one has ever commented on the fact that I'm a matron and a man. I've worked on shifts where it's been predominantly male nurses, and a lot of the wards I've worked on have had a good balance of men and women. It's now more recognised that men can do the job, in the same way that fathers are getting more involved looking after children.
Once you see a nurse in action giving you excellent care – that's when the gender disappears.

HzO Lets You Fully Submerge Your Device In Water With No Ill Effects
How many times have you dropped a phone in water? A puddle, bucket, bathtub, lake, toilet (don't act like it doesn't happen)... whatever. Phone attracting bodies of water are seemingly everywhere, and unless you're willing to put your phone in a ginormous waterproof case, once that beautiful piece of tech meets the life-affirming liquid substance, it's usually hosed (but sometimes rice can help).

I have 22 years long counselling practice (from January 1996), 17 years as a private counsellor.
I deal with clients who have difficulties to handle stressful emotions: depression, anxiety disorders and panic attacks. I also deal with people with prolonged sadness. I help clients with low self-esteem and with strict and demanding inner critic to develop and cultivate more compassoinate and kind atitude towards themselves.
In accordance with the latest neurological research, I use physical embodiment of emotions with the methods and techniques of mindfulness.
Physical symptoms such as back, head and neck pain, stomach pains and digestive problems, may be related to lack of exercise, prolonged sitting at work and poor eating habits, but also may be related to the psyche, to stress and dispelled emotions.
Gestalt therapy has very effective methods for working with the physical symptoms. I can help clients to gain more understanding of how their symptoms might be a part of their reaction to work and relational challenges they face. I am trained to work experimentally with physical symptoms for getting immediate insight into understanding them.
Crisis, losses and transitions to other life periods are a natural part of life which cannot be avoided. The ability to grieve and let go is one of important skills in life. It is a necessary prerequisite for new possibilities and beginnings..
I support clients in their resilience and endurance by gaining awarenes of their polatiries (weakness, feeling of failure...) .
I help with difficult decisions in private, relational and professional life.
We are in the world with an innate need to seek and establish contact with each other. Reaserches show, that quality of reIationships we create brings a crucial contribution to our happines in the world.
I focus on clients' ability to create satisfying relationships and how their attitude to themselves influences them in relationships. I also deal with communication issues in relationships and conflict management.
I teach clients how to communicate so they can hear each other and understand each other. To be able to tell what they need and what they object. I help to minimize the emotional reaction of partner, I support cooperation and finding solutions. I help couples understand what drew them together and what they can be close to each other.

Boat design is brilliant. I'm not talking about beautiful, sleek and fast hulls, efficient rigging, righting properties…as great as this might be when you're up for a sail. I'm thinking about the interior. Galley, heads, cockpit, navigation station – all designed for perfect functionality and everything within easy reach.
I never would have thought that it could bother me having to get onto my crutches just to negotiate the one step across the narrow aisle between the kitchen sink and the cutlery drawer. But it is a bit of a nuisance having to give up the comfort of leaning with one hip against the cupboard, crutches safely positioned, having two hands free for doing daily tasks in an almost 'normal' manner. Serves me right for having forgotten to take a teaspoon across with the teabag in the first place. Of course, I could fish the latter of the brew with my fingertips.
On our boat with its well-designed galley, such issues would not arise and I wished I could get up on deck and into the cabin to live there now.

John Taylor Gatto – The Purpose Of Schooling
Shorty Dawkins
All, Featured
Everything John Taylor Gatto relates about schooling (not education) can also be correlated to the mainstream media. The function of the schools, and the function of TV programming and movies are essentially the same: to turn the masses into compliant, obedient, dumbed-down children. – Shorty Dawkins, Associate Editor
[ot-video type="youtube" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeEWPbTad_Q"]
John Taylor Gatto (born December 15, 1935) is a retired American school teacher with nearly 30 years experience in the classroom, and author of several books on education. He is an activist critical of compulsory schooling, of the perceived divide between the teen years and adulthood, and of what he characterizes as the hegemonic nature of discourse on education and the education professions.
He was named New York City Teacher of the Year in 1989, 1990, and 1991, and New York State Teacher of the Year in 1991. In 1991, he wrote a letter announcing his retirement, titled I Quit, I Think, to the op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal, saying that he no longer wished to "hurt kids to make a living." He then began a public speaking and writing career, and has received several awards from libertarian organizations, including the Alexis de Tocqueville Award for Excellence in Advancement of Educational Freedom in 1997.
He promotes homeschooling, and specifically unschooling. Wade A. Carpenter, associate professor of education at Berry College, has called his books "scathing" and "one-sided and hyperbolic, [but] not inaccurate" and describes himself as in agreement with Gatto.
What does the school do with the children? Gatto states the following assertions in "Dumbing Us Down":
It makes the children confused. It presents an incoherent ensemble of information that the child needs to memorize to stay in school. Apart from the tests and trials that programming is similar to the television, it fills almost all the "free" time of children. One sees and hears something, only to forget it again.
It teaches them to accept their class affiliation.
It makes them indifferent.
It makes them emotionally dependent.
It makes them intellectually dependent.
It teaches them a kind of self-confidence that requires constant confirmation by experts (provisional self-esteem).
It makes it clear to them that they cannot hide, because they are always supervised
Testimonial – Mike BakerTestimonial – David Beem
That summarizes a very complex problem of taking away and destroying American individualism – for which we were famed – in a way that is simply understandable to the general public, to make us more "European" (controllable).
They have been at it for a long time; James Wilson, one of the few who signed both the Declaration of Independence plus the US Constitution and a member of the first Supreme Court (also credited with founding the University of Pennsylvania Law School – though since all laws schools are progressive, that is not necessarily a good thing – and was renowned for his learning and legal brilliance said this concerning teaching philosophical principles:
"Why should we not teach our children those principles, upon which we ourselves have thought and acted? Ought we to instil into their tender minds a theory, especially if unfounded, which is contradictory to our own practice, built on the most solid foundation? Why should we reduce them to the cruel dilemma of condemning, either those principles which they have been taught to believe, or those persons whom they have been taught to revere?"
Thomas Jefferson recognized just how important the correct education was so that the "masses" would understand their government, the precepts behind its formation, to be well versed in historic concepts and able to recognize the dangers that signal those who would destroy our nation and our individualism. That the correct education could create a critically thinking people backed by the moral concepts Americans had which would be the basics, the foundation of our nation, our way of life.
Thomas Jefferson:"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, And if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Those wishing to destroy our nation, and squash the concept that people are equal and have natural rights that ALL governments are to defend and protect for the well being of the people.
Those wishing to destroy our nation:
Recognized that they would have to foster dependence, NOT originality and individualism.
Had to establish "groups" that people needed to "fit into" in order to remove from them the barriers to the takeover.
Had to foster sports that created different sides so that the people became used to being divided – which is taken up in schools at an early age, not individual sports, but the best of the group engaged within a specific sport.
Had to create further division by fostering groups that were considered "in" or "out", "nerds", "jocks", etc which was done through labels on clothing, music, items children had at different age levels that some could not afford or were not allowed to have, etc making those things of derision and shunning which further divided the people for stupid reasons instead of by fostering respect for individual insights and priorities.
Had to create factions (parties) within the government system to further divide the people and make them more susceptible to division of the party members from each other instead of an acceptance of our way of government and different ideas from individuals (parties have "platforms" that "the masses" must get behind).
The idea of immediate needs that had to be gratified, which were created by the companies that sell those items instead of careful and contemplative of was it really a "need" or just a "want" fostered by commercials, movies, etc.
Think about all the ways people are divided by stupid little things and track those things/concepts back to where they started and most times one will find they are divisive methods come up with by some slime in the "psychological" field – understand I am lumping a lot within that term.
School was used to further those things needed to destroy us from within. It is, was, one more tool being used to destroy individuality which needed to be wiped so that those who believe themselves superior to the masses rule.
But if they were truly superior, their actions would be open, would be debatable, would be – by basis of their "superiority" over the masses – easily and openly defended, and because the ONLY way that they can stop individualism is through deception, lies, propaganda, poisons and training that weaken the thought processes, etc mean that they are not only not equal to the masses, but LESS then the masses morally, in a thinking manner, etc. If this was being done openly, with a challenge as to who was superior, those working to destroy our nation would fail – and they KNOW IT.
They cannot create because they do not know how to do for themselves – they are supported and catered to. They have no "high ground" to lean upon and present showing that they are more reasoned and intelligent then the common man or there would be no need to "dumb down" the populace of the world so that they could rule.
They ("elite") are lesser, more vicious beings.
They will lose or, because they realize that, they will take out this planet with them in retribution if we not allow them to "rule".
The NSA, the Military – who is constantly regulated and inserted with stuff (vaccines, drugs, treatments, etc) "for their own safety", propaganda, etc but is really to stop them from thinking and not obeying so for the safety of those who would rule us and for their obedience even unto death when so ordered (lawful or not) – law enforcement who are also under very hard propaganda, and training to obey orders without questioning when the Oath itself requires them to question (such as "this is a need to know" basis, when ALL involved do need to know because they are LAWFULLY accountable for the actions committed, etc).
Thomas Jefferson: Diffusion of Knowledge Bill, 1779. FE 2:221, Papers 2:526: "The most effectual means of preventing [the perversion of power into tyranny are] to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large, and more especially to give them knowledge of those facts which history exhibits, that possessed thereby of the experience of other ages and countries, they may be enabled to know ambition under all its shapes, and prompt to exert their natural powers to defeat its purposes."
Samuel Adams: "No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders."
Benjamin Franklin: "In free governments the rulers are the servants, and the people their superiors and sovereigns. For the former, therefore, to return among the latter was not to degrade but to promote them." (boy has that been changed!)
Thomas Paine: "Government ought to be as much open to improvement as anything which appertains to man, instead of which it has been monopolized from age to age, by the most ignorant and vicious of the human race. Need we any other proof of their wretched management, than the excess of debts and taxes with which every nation groans, and the quarrels into which they have precipitated the world?"
Samuel Adams: "If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."
Patrick Henry: "The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."
Rear Admiral Gene R. LaRocque Co-founder, Center for Defense Information: "I had been in thirteen battle engagements, had sunk a submarine, and was the first man ashore in the landing at Roi. In that four years, I thought, What a hell of a waste of a man's life. I lost a lot of friends. I had the task of telling my roommate's parents about our last days together. You lose limbs, sight, part of your life-for what? Old men send young men to war. Flag, banners, and patriotic sayings. . . "
"[Nearly 70% of the military budget] is to provide men and weapons to fight in foreign countries in support of our allies and friends and for offensive operations in Third World countries. . . . Another big chunk of the defense budget is the 20% allocated for our offensive nuclear force of bombers, missiles, and submarines whose job it is to carry nuclear weapons to the Soviet Union. . . . Actual defense of the United States costs about 10% of the military budget and is the least expensive function performed by the Pentagon. . . "
"We've institutionalized militarism. This came out of World War Two. . . . It gave us the National Security Council. It gave us the CIA, that is able to spy on you and me this very moment. For the first time in the history of man, a country has divided up the world into military districts. . . . You could argue World War Two had to be fought. Hitler had to be stopped. Unfortunately, we translate it unchanged to the situation today. . . "
"I hate it when they say, 'He gave his life for his country.' Nobody gives their life for anything. We steal the lives of these kids. We take it away from them. They don't die for the honor and glory of their country. We kill them.""War has become a spectator sport for Americans.""We now kill people without ever seeing them. Now you push a button thousands of miles away. . . . Since it's all done by remote control, there's no feeling of remorse. . . . Then we come home in triumph."
Admiral William D. Leahy (1875-1959) Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff: "It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was no material success in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons. . . . My own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages."
General Robert E. Lee (1807-1870) U.S. Military Leader and Confederate Commander: "What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world."
"While I have considered the preservation of the constitutional power of the General Government to be the foundation of our peace and safety at home and abroad, I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people, not only are essential to the adjustment and balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government. I consider it as the chief source of stability to our political system, whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it." [December 15, 1866, in a letter to Lord Acton]
Abraham Lincoln: "You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln: "I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men's rights."
President Monroe: "The establishment of our institutions, forms the most important epoch that history hath recorded. They extend unexampled felicity to the whole body of our fellow-citizens, and are the admiration of other nations. To preserve and hand them down in their utmost purity to the remotest ages will require the existence and practice of virtues and talents equal to those which were displayed in acquiring them. It is ardently hoped and confidently believed that these will not be wanting."
Government Tyranny in America of which it consists of (not a complete list)
— Those who serve within our governments using the label of potential "Domestic Terrorists" in reference towards groups of American Veterans, Christians, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Gun Owners, and "Sovereign Citizens".
— Laws as ridiculous as criminalizing the collection of rain water on your own property, not being able to feed or give drinks to the poor, children cannot walk or play in parks alone, etc. Add to that the deliberate destruction by hose who serve within our governments of any means for individuals to be self-sustaining or self-sufficient, including the excessive over regulation and interference of independently owned farms or ranches, no gardens to be grown, fresh (raw) milk, eggs, growing ones own meat, using heritage seeds, refuse to be vaccinated, etc all being regulated or made into crimes.
— The formation of a totally militarized police state across the United States, and the level of extreme brutality by the police here in America being used against the people. The separation of the law enforcement from the people as being superior and having no accountability which is NOT American or Constitutional in nature.
— Massive (no other term can describe it) unconstitutional and unalwful/Illegal surveillance and data collection operations against millions of Americans under the guise of "National Security" and "for our safety" by the NSA/ FBI / CIA and God alone knows who else in whatever other alphabet agency.
— Obama, David Ogden, Obama"s administrative leaders and Eric Holder, the head of the Department of Justice and chief law enforcement officer of the Federal Government, the "secret court", etc are all criminals who are blatantly guilty of Perjury, Contempt of Congress, multiple felonies, *First Degree Murder, **Treason, ***Terrorism, and many other crimes too numerous to list here, crimes that would otherwise land your average citizen in a federal prison for many years.
— The degrees of crony capitalism and financial crimes that have been committed in recent years including the blatant rigging and manipulation of every possible financial market, which though it has all been greatly exposed and are criminal in nature, few individuals have even been charged, prosecuted or jailed.
— The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) which is now an ARMED financial assassination squad used to destroy individuals, organizations, and corporations who have become political enemies of the State by making regulations/laws that they have no LAWFUl constitutional authorization to create, or to decide the guilt or innocence of the people they go after.
— The last 4 (actually none of them have been lawfully US presidents as the proper and lawful process was not used, Election Fraud was perpetrated at many levels including with the judicial system itself) Presidents of the United States have shown complete and total disregard for the American Constitution and the American legislative process by many means including abusing the Executive Signing Order powers which is only to be used on those who work in Washington DC, and within federal only governmental properties, etc usurped by their offices in order to subjugate the citizens of this nation.
— Then there is the false flag psychological operations carried out here within (and without) the USA, the outright lies conducted and perpetrated against American citizens, and/or their allies.
— The illegal wars and foreign entanglements conducted by the American Industrial Complex.
— The irresponsible and destructive fiscal policies that are being carried out against the US Dollar by the not federal-except-in-name "Federal Reserve".
— The non protection of our borders and the ignorance of the states that it is THE STATES duty, the federal government is to defend against invasion (yes, this does qualify) by using the Militias.
— The unlawful decision of Obama to allow and create citizens of illegals which is TREASON, and for everyone injured, murdered, property destroyed it is also *** terrorism against the American people.
— Selling arms to those terrorists who our family members, American military – okay, UN military at this time, but NOT lawfully.
Wake up, educate yourselves please.

Churchill says:
Cronyism is but a crony to 'crooks'. In turn many curves, bends and intersections are layed within the highways of individual thought. Tired traveling minds are easily misguided and beguiled. It represents the corruption of the most highest trusted office within any Society or Nation. And that, being 'Parenthood'. as, the youth represents the future of 'Liberty' and 'Independence'.

I like that. Einstein was indeed a genius.
I was infuriated when Brad Pitt stated at the end of Killing Then Softly that, "Thomas Jefferson was just a spoiled rich boy who didn't want to pay his taxes." Maybe he doesn't realize the damage he's doing to young minds, or maybe he does.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Takes Action Against Student-Loan Debt-Relief Business and Its Owners for Taking Illegal Advance Fees
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) settled with Timemark, Inc., a company based in Deerfield Beach, Florida, that provides debt-relief services to consumers with federal student-loan debt, and with its owners and officers, Timothy Lenihan, Sr., Mark Nagler, and Casey Gassaway. The Bureau alleged that the defendants charged illegal advance fees in violation of the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) to consumers who were seeking to renegotiate, settle, reduce, or alter the terms of their loans. If entered by the court, the proposed order memorializing the settlement will permanently ban defendants from providing debt-relief services and impose a judgment totaling approximately $3.8 million in consumer redress and civil money penalties.
The Bureau's complaint, which was filed in federal district court for the Southern District of Florida, alleged that from 2016 through October 2019, the defendants used telemarketing campaigns to convince more than 7,300 consumers to pay up to $699 in fees to file paperwork to reduce or eliminate their monthly payments for their federal student loans, through loan consolidation, forgiveness, or income-driven repayment plans. The U.S. Department of Education, however, offers these options to student loan borrowers for free. Moreover, under the TSR, it is illegal to request or receive any fees for debt-relief services sold through telemarketing before the terms of the debt are altered or settled, and the consumer has made at least one payment pursuant to the new arrangement. The Bureau alleges that the defendants violated the TSR because they requested and received payments from consumers within a few days, or at the latest, within 30 days of their enrollment—before the terms of the debts were altered.
If entered by the court, under the terms of the proposed order, the defendants would be permanently banned from providing debt-relief services. The order would impose a judgment on the defendants, jointly and severally, in the amount of about $3.8 million for consumer redress. Full payment of this amount will be suspended if, within 10 days after the order is entered, Timemark pays $5,000, Nagler pays $7,000, and Gassaway pays $10,000. The full amount of redress was suspended because of defendants' limited ability to pay more based on sworn financial statements. The defendants would also be required to each pay a $1 civil money penalty, in light of their financial circumstances. Whenever the Bureau collects a civil money penalty through an enforcement action, that penalty is deposited into the Bureau's Civil Penalty Fund. Assuming continued available funds, the Bureau will work to provide full redress to eligible harmed consumers from this fund.
The CFPB complaint is available at: https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_timemark-et-al_complaint_2020-07.pdf
The proposed stipulated judgment is available at: https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_timemark-et-al_stipulated-final-judgement-order_2020-07.pdf
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a 21st century agency that helps consumer finance markets work by making rules more effective, by consistently and fairly enforcing those rules, and by empowering consumers to take more control over their economic lives.

Bunion pain can interfere with your daily activities and make even the most mundane task seem a lot harder. Even striding down the red carpet at the Oscars in high heels has the stars suffering when their shoes rub against those bony bumps. Standing around at your job can feel like hard work when bunions are causing your toes pain. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to relieve this pain at home without a lot of effort.
The first thing to do is to change your shoes. Tight-fitting shoes with no room for your toes, such as high heels, are probably the worst things you can wear if you have bunions. You want to try to put the least amount of pressure on the ball of your foot possible.
As for exercise, try switching from running to swimming or biking, and limit standing as much as you can. Other things you can do to help with pain include icing the bump on your toes. You can also try using an over-the-counter shoe insert or moleskin padding to relieve some of the pressure.
If the use of these at home remedies doesn't help with the pain, it's time to call Vargas Foot & Ankle Specialists for a consultation. We can help you find relief with medications or a custom-made orthotic that can help address the problem. If all else fails to curb your pain, surgery is always an option.
If you are suffering from bunion pain call Dr. Marco Vargas and Dr. Joyce Lee at 888-784-5335 or schedule an appointment online. At our offices in Sugar Land, Houston and Missouri, TX, we are dedicated to the health of your feet and making sure they stay pain free. Bunions are easily fixed, so don't suffer unnecessarily anymore.

Stream Britney Spears' New Single, "Private Show"
Elizabeth Thompson
A day after announcing the release of her much-anticipated new album, Glory, Britney Spears has dropped the album's second single, "Private Show."
The song, which shares a name with Spears' new perfume (her 20th fragrance to date -- get paid, Brit), is a fun little doo-wop jam about sexy-dancing for your boo. But everyone knows that when you're really attempting to dance "hot" for someone, you're usually trashed. And you're dancing to, like, "Africa" by Toto whilst crashing into a coffee table.
Thankfully though, this latest track from Brit is definitely an "alone in front of your mirror, really fucking feeling yourself" jam of the highest order. Seems like Britney's felling herself, too, and she's never sounded better.
Listen to Glory's other banger, "Make Me," below.
Glory will be out August 26th.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A Nevada judge effectively blocked the execution of a two-time killer Wednesday after a pharmaceutical company objected to the use of one of its drugs to put someone to death.
At a hearing earlier in the day, New Jersey-based Alvogen urged the judge to block the use of its sedative midazolam, saying the state illegally secured the product through subterfuge and intended it for unapproved purposes.
The pharmaceutical company also raised fears that the drug could lead to a botched execution, citing cases that apparently went awry elsewhere around the country.
A second pharmaceutical company, Sandoz, also raised objections at Wednesday's hearing to the use of one of its drugs -- the muscle-paralyzing substance cisatracurium -- in executing Dozier. But the company did not immediately ask to formally join Alvogen's lawsuit.
Bice said Alvogen does not take a position on the death penalty itself but opposes the use of the drug in a way that is fundamentally contrary to its purpose -- saving and improving lives.

Albert Haight (February 20, 1842 – October 1926) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

Life
He was born on February 20, 1842, in Ellicottville, Cattaraugus County, New York, the son of Henry Haight (born c. 1815) and Sarah Maria (Sisson) Haight (1817–1868). He was admitted to the bar in 1863, and practiced in Buffalo.

He was Judge of the Erie County Court from 1873 to 1877. He was a justice of the New York Supreme Court (8th D.) from 1877 to 1894, and was appointed to the General Term (5th Dept.) in 1884.

In 1887, he made a controversial decision in a trial involving Standard Oil and John D. Archbold, and was severely censured in the press for it. Subsequently Standard Oil pushed his campaign for the Court of Appeals, but it did not work out. At the New York state election, 1889, he ran on the Republican ticket for the New York Court of Appeals but was defeated by Democrat Denis O'Brien.

At the New York state election, 1894, he ran again and this time was elected. He was re-elected at the New York state election, 1908, and retired from the bench at the end of 1912 when he reached the constitutional age limit.

He died in October 1926.

This is an In-vivo Experimental (randomized control) study which involves ultrasound wave exposure to pregnant Albino Rat uterus, at late gestation period, to evaluate the bioeffects of ultrasound in fetuses at late gestation age. Specific objective of this study are to evaluate bio effect of ultrasound as a teratogen in form of intrauterine growth restriction, and see possibility of histology change brain tissue from ultrasound exposure . The study was conducted at National University –Sudan Radiology Lab from May 2015 to December 2017 using temporary constructed Animal House which follow international guidelines of animal house care with constant external environment and daily monitoring by animal house technician. Ultrasound machine was calibrated and exposure parameter were fixed as linear array transducer of 12MHz, focal distance was 4.5 cm ,Thermal Index was .5 Mechanical Index was .8 ,duration of exposure was 40 minute. Pregnant albino rats were grouped to exposed and control, and were sacrificed in the next days of exposure (17, 18, 19, 20, 21) then fetuses were taken out for evaluation of effect, the sample obtained was 55 fetuses. Calibrated weigh scale was used to measure fetal weigh by veterinary specialist, slide brain histopathology done by a specialized technologist and was reported by veterinary histopathologist. XI Regarding intrauterine growth , there is reduction in fetal weight through determined study days but more significant at day 19 of rat gestation day P-value < .005.Multiple histological brain change was observed in different groups, shown as loss of normal pattern formations . It is concluded that ultrasound exposure to fetal may act as deleterious bio effect in Albino Rat and this may act as same in human subject as some previous studies. This study needs to be replicated with extension and modification of parameters and using large animal model to mimic humans ALARA (As Low As Reasonable Achievable) principle is important concept to be adopted by ultrasound medical professional in their practice with update to consensus report from upcoming research that may reveal ultrasound bio effect to humans, especially offspring.

Today I visited Olwyn, trendy mummy and owner of The Fat Gherkin, deli & coffee shop in Moira. We worked together many moons ago and I'm delighted for her & her hubby, that the brave move to go it alone and set up their own business, has been such a success.
While I was there, I also met another friend, Elaine, who lives locally.
If you're near Moira, do drop in and tell Olwyn that you heard about her on School Gate Style. And then order yourself a Soda Stack and a latte. Best. Breakfast. Ever.
Love those boots and a soda stack and latte sounds great!!

It's been a month of firsts for me. One of them being doing the cover of the June issue of InsideCounsel, which makes it my first magazine cover. InsideCounsel is a legal magazine that I have done interior illustrations for.
I had been talking with the art director about doing a cover, and she had sent me several past covers she was less then happy with, and wanted to see what I could come up with. But before I could sketch out my ideas, along came a cover they knew what they wanted. The AD showed my site to the author, who agreed my style would be perfect for the image they were thinking of. I did a pencil of the idea provided and also 3 different takes on the idea. They liked them all, but went with the original idea, no changes!

How to Advocate for Your ADHD Child
By Ann Matturro Gault
See what people are saying about this article on our Facebook page!
If you have a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), you are all too familiar with the inattention, impulsivity, and high-energy level symptomatic of the condition. According to the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), approximately three to seven percent of school-age children in the United States have this disorder.
Fortunately many public schools have excellent resources and the ability to help your child succeed in spite of his unique challenges. However, you'll still need to advocate for your child since the diagnosis of ADHD alone does not qualify a student for special education services. Classroom allowances and other helpful learning adjustments will likely be required to improve your child's academic performance and you'll have to ask for them. Here, expert advice from the NASP and Larry Davis, education advocate and author of The New School of thought on IEP & 504 Plans: Love, Understanding and Other Best Practices.
ADHD at School: First Steps
The key to success is having mutual understanding. "Before you come up with interventions and strategies to fix it, parents, the student and the school's administrative team need to be on the same page about what makes Sally tick. Without consensus, progress will be limited."
Davis advises parents to go beyond the label of ADHD and look carefully at all the data. Use the clinical evidence and the school-based information to come up with the best plan for your child. "Lots of kids are diagnosed with disabilities they don't have," Davis admits. "What these kids have are inconvenient emotional and behavior issues that require understanding."
Another important component is the school's attitude. Be wary of one-way thinking, cautions the expert. "Some schools want to pigeon-hole children. They assume your ADHD child is like one they've previously dealt with. Wrong! When schools do this, they miss the target every time," says Davis. "ADHD has a million different manifestations and can mean 10 million different things."
Before you meet with the school team, realize that the school's agenda may not be yours. "These days there are budget constraints woes and lots of kids to help. Parents may expect that the school will do everything it can to help their child. The reality is that the school may want to help but can't due to lack of staff, money or other factors. And there's always the possibility of being discouraged by a school that believes your child just doesn't fit into their system."
IEP or 504?
In Davis' 25 years of experience, the solution isn't always an Individual Education Plan (IEP). "In a nurturing school environment, an accommodation plan--also know as a 504--may be sufficient," Davis explains. With a 504 plan, the general education teacher gives intentional tweaks or allowances to the ADHD student to help her perform better. Providing extra time (or no time limits) during a test, for example or testing in a quiet space to compensate for distractibility.
Behavior modification strategies can also be effective. Many schools have had success with a written behavior contract that spells out student responsibilities and rewards (privileges at school or home if responsibilities are met).
The NASP believes that behavior modification works best when combined with medication. Numerous studies have found that medications such as Ritalin, Adderall, Strattera, or Wellbutrin enhance attention, reduce impulsive behavior, and increase academic productivity for the majority of children who are treated. Side effects are relatively benign and may include appetite reduction, insomnia, headaches, and stomachaches. Medication may be a recommended course of action for your child.
ADHD Resources for Parents
Negotiating your way through the public education maze and dealing with the plethora of information and decisions is an overwhelming experience for most parents. Several Web sites are devoted to the topic and have excellent online resources you can tap into.
Funded through the U.S. Department of Education, Education Parent Centers provide parent training and assistance regarding all types of disabilities: physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional. Each state has at least one. Parent Centers offer a variety of services including one-on-one support, workshops, and publications. Many staff members are parents of children with disabilities and bring personal experience and empathy to the process. Go to http://www.taalliance.org/ptidirectory/index.asp to find a parent center near you.
The National Resource Center on ADHD, a program of Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (CHADD) also has information and resources. Learn more at www.helpforadhd.org and www.chadd.org.
Professional education advocate Davis recommends involving a neutral party. "It's not unusual for parents to experience strong emotions like anger, sorrow, and grief when going through this process," he says. "Don't do it alone. This isn't a situation where you can be confident everyone is working for your kid's best interest. A professional advocate will juggle all the balls and work to be sure the school is doing right by your child."
Ultimately Davis believes every ADHD child has unique gifts. "These kids can have incredible insights that can inspire teachers and fellow students alike," he says. "I don't see ADHD as a broken child thing. There's a place for people like this in our world and in our classrooms."

If you have been reading photography related posts on this site or anywhere on the web for a while or just have been searching for photography related info then I bet you might have come across the fact that focus is one of the most important things in images. And while learning about focusing in photography, you definitely would've seen the terms autofocus and manual focus.
Manual focus is quite clear by its name itself but the term autofocus needs some clarity to understand it completely.
By definition, when the camera sets the focus of your image automatically then it is known as autofocus. This technology is getting quite popular because of its ease of use and benefits. Most of the major DSLR, SLR & Point and Shoot cameras have this feature by default.
Autofocus is determined by the autofocus points. These points usually display on your camera when you are clicking a picture. Such points are usually highlighted by a rectangular or square box in white or green color when you are about to click a picture.
These points let you know where the focus has been set by your camera in the autofocus mode. This is done to provide you further clarity of the picture instead of making it completely automatic.
Another beauty of these points is that in some cameras their location in the frame can be altered manually even in the automatic mode. This ensures that you have complete control of the picture.
By itself, autofocus is very beneficial and most of the processes are automatic to ease things up.
Still, many areas in this aspect can be influenced as well and if the influence is correct then your picture quality will enhance even further.
Before using autofocus you should make sure that you know how to use it properly and the situation actually calls for it. If the situation is in the need of manual focus then, relying on autofocus only will not suffice. In such a case you should first let the autofocus determine the focusing point and then you should manually set them as per the needs.
Autofocus mainly determines what's the potential subject(s) in your photograph. This function works on a set of rules that are programmed into it. Now, there's a good chance for mistakes to occur and they do occur in reality. Therefore, reviewing your photograph once it has been clicked will always stand in your best interest.
If autofocus is not able to set the focus then it will not allow you to click a picture. In such a case you should either work on resolving the cause of the issue or you should set the focus to the manual mode.
For capturing motion you should majorly rely on autofocus because most of the cameras that have autofocus in them are preloaded with sensors that can detect motion. In motion photography, the chance of mistakes is far higher in manual focusing than autofocusing.
In order to obtain the best photograph try focusing from various angles and placements with autofocus. However, when you are trying this thing make sure that your main subject is detected as the main subject by the autofocus.

Another one of that guy I sometimes paint got painted on another canvas lately! This one measures 20 x 16 inches and was painted with acrylics over a spray painted background..There's a Hoaks piece being painted in the background and his thinking cap is leaking bits of style, wearing a Wu Tang sweater, just like the first ever version was (that looked nothing like this) drawn around 18 years ago..
Over that time, paintings, toys and sculptures of this character have traveled much further than I ever have.. I wonder where this one will hang? If it's possibly on your wall, take a look in the store because I just put it in there, with worldwide postage available (here)..
