Axedale Burial: Banfield – Thomas, Margaret and Bridget
Thomas Banfield: 1859 – 14 November 1922
Banfield Margaret: About 1880 – 12 November 1900
from: The Bendigo Advertiser (Vic: 1855-1918) Tuesday, 13 November 1900, page 2
BURNING FATALITY
A fatal case of burning, which is surrounded by more than usually distressing features occurred yesterday morning. About a fortnight back, the wife of Mr. Thomas Banfield, a farmer, residing at Mosquito Creek, came into Bendigo, so as to receive professional attention during her accouchment. Mrs. Banfield left her daughter, Margaret, a child about two years old, in charge of her mother, Mrs. O'Donoghue, who lives at Emu Creek. Yesterday morning, while Mrs. O'Donoghue, was getting a bucket of water from a dam, some little distance from her house, she heard screams and on hurrying back, met her little grandaughter, enveloped in flames near the doorway. The child's uncle, a young man who was engaged in the paddock, was also attracted by the screams, and he too hurried to the spot and succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The unfortunate child was badly burned from head to foot and young O'Donoghue drove in with the little patient, with all possible speed to Dr. Murphy's surgery, but she expired while the doctor was examining her. The body was then removed to the Town Hall Hotel. The matter was reported to the police and a magisterial enquiry will be held this morning. A broom, the end of which ws burned, was subsequently found in the house and it is surmised that the child while playing with it, put it in the fireplace, and has ignited her clothes. Mrs. Banfield is in such a weak state that it is not deemed advisable to inform her of the tragic end that has befallen her daughter.
Bridget Banfield: 1861 – 7 August 1935
from: The Advocate (Melbourne, Vic 1868-1954) Thursday, 5 September, 1935, page 30
MRS. BRIDGET BANFIELD.
An old and highly respected resident of Axedale, Mrs. Bridget Banfield, passed away at her residence on August 7. after an illness of three days. The deceased lady was a native of Axe Creek, and was 74 years of age. She spent all her life in the district, the last 40 years at Mosquito Creek, where she carried on farming pursuits successfully. Sympathy is extended to her children, Mr. Frank and Misses Irene and Molly Banfield, in their loss of a devoted mother. Her husband, Thomas Banfield, predeceased her by 13 years. The funeral to the Axedale Cemetery was largely attended by town and country friends and relatives. The coffin was carried to the grave by her nephews, Messrs. J. O'Donoghue, M Browne, J. and B. Cummins. The pallbearers were Cr. S. Doak, Messrs. P. Shanahan, W. Carney, T. Godfrey, J. Godfrey, and T. Mangan. The Rev. Fr. P. O'Connor, assisted by the Rev. Fr. Vosti, officiated at the graveside.

If you need to replace your teeth — due to years of wear, chronic decay, gum disease, or something else — All-on-4 dental implants offer a straightforward and long-lasting alternative to wearing conventional removable dentures.
All-on-4 treatments feature a streamlined, hybrid denture design that follows the contour of your jaw, rather than covering the entire roof of your mouth the way a "plate" would.
The entire prosthesis is permanently affixed to four strategically placed implants, which support the biting and chewing forces in a way that resembles the function of healthy, natural teeth.
Only four implants are necessary because each one can withstand the weight and pressure of multiple teeth. Placing them in key points across the jaw allows a full-arch prosthesis to be stabilized in a predictable manner.
Conventional dentures and partials have to be taken out each night, making them tough on your gum tissues and the bone underneath that supports them. But with an All-on-4 denture you can have a permanent full mouth restoration that never comes in and out of place. You eat, sleep, and live with it 24 hours a day. This makes them healthier for your mouth overall, as implants aid in strengthening the bone and preventing sunken-in facial tissues associated with missing teeth.
We recommend that all implant patients care for their smiles as if they were made up of natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing are essential to keep the gingival tissues around each implant healthy and free of infection. Because it can take some practice to thread floss under a fixed restoration such as an All-on-4 prosthesis, there is also the option of investing in a water flosser to use instead.
Continue to schedule regular preventative care appointments every six months to ensure any issues are intercepted as early as possible.
Today's implant treatments can be digitally mapped out well in advance, aiding in a simpler and straightforward placement on the date of treatment. This 3D visualization makes it possible to select the most optimal location for each of the four supporting dental implants, taking advantage of natural oral anatomy and minimizing additional treatments such as bone grafts or sinus lifts.
Selecting the right an All-on-4 implant dentist is an essential step in ensuring a predictable and optimal outcome for your smile.

Telstra in India: An Exciting Expansion into Media and Sports
Anna Lockwood / Telstra Broadcast Services
We invest so much time and energy in our work that we always seem to leave a little piece of ourselves in every project. Telstra's recent point of presence (PoP) expansion into India also required tremendous dedication and time commitment from our team, but this one started with a little of me already in it.
Born and raised in India, I have a special personal connection with the country. After university in the United States, I returned to India to start my filmmaking and media technology career and then worked in India for almost 10 years before moving to international roles. Knowing first-hand how strong the appetite for media and entertainment content is in India, our recent Telstra investment in connectivity there made sense for so many business reasons.
For me, above all, this was a passion as well as a work project.
The total Indian media and entertainment industry is growing rapidly, expected to reach around $25.6 billion (USD) with annual average growth of about 3.2% by 2022. Within that total, digital content is king. Consumer preferences are increasingly leaning towards over-the-top (OTT) streaming platforms for content consumption, with forecasts calling for India to become the world's 6th largest OTT streaming market by 2024.
Digital advertising was the second largest medium in India in 2020, with digital ad revenues expected to surpass TV ad revenues in 2021. India's online gaming and music streaming markets are booming, while direct-to-home (DTH) satellite television viewing also remains strong.
India's media and broadcast industries are also dealing with major challenges in transforming their network infrastructure because of several factors: the costs of implementing new technologies on aging legacy platforms, managing the integration and interoperability of multiple networking environments, increasing bandwidth requirements, fewer personnel and shrinking budgets.
With all these shifting content and media trends, consumer online activity and changing market dynamics, the time was right for a significant expansion of our Global Media Network (GMN) into India. Our newest GMN PoPs in Mumbai and Chennai enable us to transport content in and out of India across an extensive range of networks. This, in turn, simplifies delivery for the media, broadcast and sports industries and lets us easily connect end customers and broadcasters to the GMN.
Telstra's long-standing Indian presence
I'm not the only one with a history in India. Telstra has about 25 years of network connectivity experience in India, enabling mid-tier and large Indian and international organizations to more effectively communicate and collaborate with their customers.
Today we have a full in-country team including sales, technology and service operations teams. In the heart of Bangalore's IT corridor at the Embassy TechVillage sits Telstra's brand-new, full-service Innovation and Capability Centre (ICC) where we have more than a thousand Telstra employees dedicated to creating the next generation of products and services for Telstra from India.
But we didn't have any GMN PoPs or endpoints in India until 2020. Our goal is to continually add core sites and customer endpoints to our GMN network, and the Indian market was always a focus. We knew we had customers who needed to get content into India and Indian customers who needed to get content to global audiences.
These two PoPs add a new dimension to our India presence. Now, we can support the delivery of permanent services – the linear channels of scheduled content delivered through broadcast and cable networks or on OTT platforms. At the same time, we can offer occasional use services for sports, esports and entertainment events.
This expansion opens India up to the larger sports, media and entertainment ecosystem. Yes, we've been offering telecommunications and internet connectivity to the Indian market for many years. But the exciting aspect of this investment is that now we also have true solutions and services for the media, entertainment and sports community – combining our investments in technology with our investments in people on the ground in India, specifically in the media and broadcast vertical.
Hitting it for a six
We also have a growing customer base and project list resulting from our expanded capabilities, including our work with international sports rights-holders and broadcasters.
We recently supported a remote production project for the Indian Cricket Tour of Australia, which took place between November 2020 and January 2021. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a broadcast team couldn't be sent from India to Australia.
Telstra Broadcast Services configured a remote production solution in less than four weeks, providing network and audio services, a local broadcast crew, plus a network engineer on-site for the matches. We used Telstra's low-latency, high-bandwidth Optical Transport Network (OTN) between Australia and Asia to deliver seven feeds per match back to the broadcaster's commentators and production crew in Mumbai.
The event was a technological success, seamlessly transporting content in a variety of formats including J2K HD and MPEG4. The India Tour of Australia was also a rating smash in Australia and in India, becoming the most-watched overseas cricket series on any digital platform in India. Congratulations to the Indian Cricket team for their thrilling series victory!
Now if a media or sports company – whether it's based in the U.S., Britain, Australia or anywhere – needs to get content into India, they can rely on Telstra. If there's an Indian company that needs to take content to the Indian diaspora or international audiences, with Telstra they can reach new viewers and global markets. And, if it's sports-related we can help reach sports fans in India and all over the world.
Maybe I'm biased, but we love working with our Indian customers. They continually push us with their technology savviness, their ability to scale to deliver to Indian audiences and their high expectations for quality. For us, the exciting challenge is constantly figuring out new ways of collaborating and working with our customers and partners in India to say, "OK, how do we do this next step, either from a technology, business or innovation perspective."
I'm proud to have played a part in bringing the Telstra Global Media Network to India, and it's been a wonderful homecoming for me!

První úkol – Dračí srdce (v originále Long de xin) je hongkongská akční komedie, kterou režíroval Sammo Hung spolu s asistentem Fruit Chanem. Hlavními herci filmu jsou Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Emily Chu, Lam Ching Ying, James Tien a Yuen Wah. Sammo si zahrál roli jako Danny / Do-do, muže s mentálním postižením, o kterého se stará jeho bratr Tad (Jackie Chan). Yuen Biao asistoval Hungovi s akční choreografií, ačkoliv se ve filmu neobjevil. Film je znám také pod názvy Heart of the Dragon, The First Mission nebo Powerman III. Závěrečná scéna byla filmována na budově, která se později stala hotelem Regal Riverside v Sha Tin.

Děj
Hlavním hrdinou je mentálně postižený Danny, o kterého se musí starat jeho bratr, policista zásahové jednotky, Tad. Ten má však své problémy – chce si vzít svou přítelkyni a odjet na moře jako elitní jednotka. Danny, nebo jak mu říkají přátelé Do-do, ho doslova přinutí, aby zůstal. Do-do omylem zastraší gangstera, který upustí svou tašku se zlatými šperky a Do-do ji vezme a ukryje v nevědomí co skrývá. Věci se však zkomplikují a Do-do vyhrabe tašku zpět v domnění, že ji vrátí zpět svému majiteli. Je ale přepaden a následně obklíčen policií, která ho podezřívá z krádeže šperků. Podaří se mu utéct a Tad se zaváže svému policejnímu šéfovi, že ho přivede zpět. Do-do však padne do rukou mafiánů a ti žádají výkupné. Tad se rozhodne spolu s jeho přáteli Dannyho zachránit. To se mu také povede, avšak on i jeho přátelé jsou zatčeni za nedovolený zásah. Tad je obžalován jako hlavní viník a Do-do propuštěn díky jeho mentálnímu postižení. O něj se stará přítelkyně Tada a později, když jsou propuštěni, i přátelé Tada. Nakonec je i Tad propuštěn.

Q: Create tables in Flask with one model.py file for each Blueprint I am creating a flask app with two blueprints, i am register the bluprints like this:
app.register_blueprint(users, url_prefix='/users')
app.register_blueprint(rooms, url_prefix='/rooms')

Each blueprint has its own templates folder, views.py file and models.py file.
What i need to do to create the database tables described in each models.py and give the database with initial data like The user admin and roles?
I am thinking in a separate script that imports all the models and finally invoke db.create_all() method but i don't know about a better way to do what i need.
I expect the tabled created, later the initial data in the database.
Thanks

A: I have a boilerplate that might describe what you need.

Nostrum Energy develops advanced dilute combustion systems and fuel injection technologies for aftermarket, research and OEM applications. The newest product it will be presenting at this year's Engine Expo North America is a full water injection system for on-road, off-road, stationary and research engine applications. Nostrum's water injection systems provide knock mitigation, octane on demand or NOx management for performance, efficiency or commercial engine applications.
The benefits of using water to control end-of-compression temperatures and thereby knock onset are that water is cheap, easily available, has a very high enthalpy of vaporization and has no negative impact on vehicle emissions. Nostrum's patented colliding jet injectors rely on jet-to-jet collision as opposed to a traditional air shear break-up mechanism. This method improves atomization and significantly reduces liquid lengths, thus avoiding intake port impingement as well as minimizing water consumption. Nostrum will present the CFD design, optimization and test results for an application-specific (Nissan R35 GT-R), spray-targeted water injection system.
Nostrum has developed a new fully featured, Tier 1 level water injection controller. It has been designed to integrate into a wide range of engine configurations and applications. The water injection firing events can be tied to fuel injector firing events or they can be controlled by more conventional crank angle-based injection control strategies, thus allowing water injection to be adapted to virtually any engine application. Prototype controllers are currently being used on Nostrum's Nissan R35 GT-R water injection system but are available for any kind of application.
The company uses water injection to create its own combustion cycles for better efficiency. The embedded control algorithms in the water injection controller provide a flexible and comprehensive control unit for engine and vehicle integration. Nostrum will also present at the conference on the system integration, calibration and performance of Nostrum's water injection controller and spray targeted water injectors in a high-performance application like the Nissan GT-R, and how the system can provide knock mitigation and octane increases on demand. Data for field testing, mileage accumulation, altitude testing and vehicle performance will be presented, along with system capabilities and engine durability observations.
Engine Expo North America takes place at The Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan, from October 23-25, 2018, offering visitors a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the latest innovations from more than 90 specialised exhibitors.

Despite loss of Robinson, Jaguars to be more balanced, experienced in 2020
August 17, 2020 by Dan Holm

There's no way the Ankeny Centennial volleyball team can replace Devyn Robinson.
Head coach Jessica Rinehart isn't even going to try.
"You don't replace any senior…and Devyn was certainly phenomenal," Rinehart said. "But this team will have a lot more experience and balance overall than the year before. Last year was a wild ride with an entirely new team. We are starting much further along than we did last season. This is going to be a fun team and a balanced team."
Robinson is now playing for Wisconsin after leading the Jaguars to an 18-15 record last season. She led the team with 248 kills, despite missing the first half of the season, and was named an Under Armour first team all-American.
Robinson was a dominant force whenever she was on the court. But now that she's gone, Rinehart will need some other players to step up.
"We've seen leaders emerge throughout the summer," she said. "We were not allowed any contact until July so it was a good opportunity for people to step up and get some things going without our involvement."
Junior outside hitter Olivia Anderson and junior defensive specialist Ella Becker are the team's top returning players. They both received all-conference honorable mention a year ago.
Anderson placed second on the team with 190 kills. She also had 91 digs, 30 blocks and 12 aces.
Becker had a team-high 289 digs. She also tied for the team lead in aces with 21.
Defensive specialist Millie Hill and middle hitter Jackie Pippett are among the team's seniors. Pippett contributed 50 kills and 53 blocks last season, while Hill had 82 digs.

Other returnees for the Jaguars are junior setter Morgan DenBeste, junior middle hitter Peyton Mitchell and junior right-side hitter Marissa Meyer.
DenBeste will likely be the team's primary setter following the graduation of Karenna Larson and Maura Rost. She had 104 assists last year and was also one of the team's best servers, completing 76-of-78 attempts (97.4 percent).
Mitchell had 98 kills and placed second among the Jaguars with 64 blocks. She also recorded 19 aces.
Both Meyer and sophomore Delainey Winkel are among the players battling for spots in the rotation. Winkel joined the varsity at the end of last season.
"The practices have been awesome," said Rinehart, whose team is eighth in the Class 5A preseason rankings by the Iowa Girls' High School Athletic Union. "Our players are determined, focused and have high energy. Our returners were ready to go, and we've had some sophomores who love the game step in and complete (our roster). We're not the tallest team, but we're having a lot of fun, showing a lot of fire and we've really had a great preseason."
Centennial will open its season on Aug. 25 with a triangular meet at Dowling Catholic, where Gilbert will also participate in the round-robin event. The Jaguars will host a triangular meet against Indianola and Nevada on Aug. 29.
"The goals for the season are to keep playing and have fun," Rinehart said. "So much has been taken away this year (due to COVID-19), I just want us to find a way to stay healthy and playing, enjoy being on the court and enjoy each other."
Centennial qualified for the state tournament in each of its first six seasons as a varsity program before losing at Council Bluffs Lincoln in a Class 5A regional final last year. The Jaguars have won four state titles under Rinehart.
"Of course, a trip back to the state tournament is always a goal," she said. "But we'll be taking this season one day at a time and appreciate any second that we get."

"I just wanted to say how pleased I was at the management and expertise demonstrated by Bagnalls in the completion of the crossings. I was delighted when the work was completed, as I didn't actually believe that it would be done this year due to the timescales and complications at the start of the project. This is a credit to Bagnalls and your workforce that this highly complicated and delicate work has been completed so well. "


Hello, foolish mortals, and welcome to one of the THE most requested post/list I get from people on the reg over on Bookstagram (shameless plug, go follow me on insta @worldswithinpages).
Over the last few months on bookstagram, it seems like I have developed a bit of a reputation. That reputation has been based on my newly found love of Stephen King as well as the endless number of books I have picked up in the last few months that fall under a genre that is often avoided at all costs: horror.
Let me put this out there, I used to think I would hate horror novels! I thought I would get way too scared and would have nightmares and spend hours at night peering around at the shadows in my room, just waiting for a murdery ghost to try and kill me. BUT… I have since learned that, not only can I handle horror novels way better than I thought I would (better than scary movies, for sure), but I LOVE them and I can't seem to get enough!!
Bird Box was actually the very first horror book I read that made me realize "hey, I actually like this stuff!" If you're into atmospheric stories that contain an air of supernatural mystery, this book is for you!Bird Box follows a woman named Malorie and her two children (called Boy and Girl) as they struggle to navigate life in a post-apocalyptic world where ~something~ is lurking. Seeing this ~something~ causes extremely gruesome acts of violence against others, and/or against yourself, which means closed eyes and blindfolds are mandatory at all times. This is the life that Malorie has been forced to raise her children in since the moment they were born, and one that she has suffered to survive while everyone else around her is dead. If there is ANY good news in this situation, or even a glimmer of hope, Malorie has become aware of a location where she and her children can maybe find safety and protection from the "monster." The only problem? She isn't positive where it's located and, obviously, she will have to be blindfolded the entire way.Side note: The book is 400x better than the movie, so if you have seen the movie and were "meh" on it, don't hesitate to give this one a go!
The Winter People would be a PERFECT introductory read to the horror newbie. While there are *~spooky~* things that are happening, it is the atmosphere of the setting that McMahon builds that really gives you the creeps. If you're into books that suspend your satisfaction until the very end, this is a GREAT choice for you.
"West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter.
It's fairly likely that you have heard of this book, or the show that was inspired by it that had everyone sleeping with the light on during the winter months after it aired on Netflix. The funny thing is, this book is NOWHERE near as scary as the show. Not even close. Does it give you all the ghosty goodness that a haunted house story should? Of course! But don't use the show as a barometer of how badly this book will scare you because the book and the movie are like your eyebrows should be: Sisters, but not twins.
In case you're not up to speed on what this book is about, it's basically your formulaic haunted house story. A group of people are invited to stay at a mansion with a mysterious past and haunting ensues. What makes this book slightly more disturbing than most is that it combines external ghosty hauntings with internal mental hauntings (I don't know what else to call it, okay? You'll see…). This book would also be a good choice if you are trying to read more classics this year, but you don't want to get bogged down by "ye olden tyme" syntax.
Despite the fact that Stephen King is known for his unstoppable and uniquely disturbing prowess in horror, a few of his books sit very comfortably on the "mild side" when it comes to really getting under your skin. Carrie is one of those books. As King's first novel, Carrie serves as a pinky toe dip into the cold pool of horror novels for his readers AND his own artistry.
This book, in true King fashion, reveals creepy themes in multiple layers. It's like an onion of fear (or an ogre). You'll get unsettling flashbacks of teenage high school bullying, telekinetic violence, extreme religion-based manipulation and abuse, and disturbing scenes that bring you into the moment and inside the mind of Carrie as she deals with some pretty rough things.
If you want to dive into more of a spooky haunted house setting that's just slightly more brave than The Haunting of Hill House, The Grip of It by Jac Jemc will deliver. The cover art alone is a bit unsettling, and sets the tone for the entire novel.
A young married couple, Julie and James, decide to leave the "big city" behind and settle into a house in a secluded wood that will allow them to focus on mending their tumultuous relationship and have a fresh start toward a new life. Little do they know, the house they move into has other plans, which makes sense, as it becomes very clear that it has a true mind of its own. Rooms disappear, disturbing smells and stains drift in and out of focus, bruises appear overnight on Julie's body, and their off putting next door neighbor is just the icing on the creepy cake. When the pieces of the puzzle start to come together for what happened in the house that caused such unrest within, Julie and James, and their sanity, begin to unravel. What really happened in this house? Are the random labyrinth of rooms that appear and then decay really there or just a hallucination? Who is the next door neighbor and why does he keep watching their every move?
Hopefully this list gives you a good place to start on your spooky horror journey! As someone who has been getting deeper and deeper into the horror genre, I will definitely be offering up more recommendations and reviews in the future, so be sure to keep an eye out for that post if you're interested!
I love horror novels, but I have only read two of these (King and Jackson). Thanks for the review! I am going to check "The grip of it" for starters. Cool.

Kiawah Island wanted a new Town Hall. So they booted farmer Sidi Limehouse's Rosebank Farms stand to get it. In all fairness, it was a legit real estate transaction. The owners of Rosebank's property sold the land to the city. But the irony of the whole thing is the island's new Town Hall will actually sit outside town limits. Local government: 1. Family-owned farms: 0.


What do Moses, Job and Solomon have in common? Beside their wisdom and faith, they had very little to say, if anything, about life after death.
Moses is revered across the major world religions. Some think of him as a law-give, a courageous leader, a theologian or a deliverer, but more than anything else, he is known as one who is always communicating with God. That is why discussing the prayer of Moses requires a bit of contextualizing. The question most likely to be asked would be, "Which of his prayers?" Here, Moses is treated as a poet, whose poem is a prayer, over-laid with dark moments. The lessons learned from it, however, are of inestimable value to all believers and curious seekers.
Many of the questions we have asked and would have like to ask, have found their way in some of the themes discussed. Maybe you have contemplated the nature of God, or whether God has emotions. What about death, does it terrify you? Can a person die before their time? Is there Grace in the Old Testament or is it just a New Testament concept? There is just so much to learn.

Home News Brattleboro Business Supplies Diapers to Children in Haiti
Brattleboro Business Supplies Diapers to Children in Haiti
BRATTLEBORO — Cloth diapers are better for babies. That's what Karen Amidon believes, and she's built a business around it.
Green Mountain Diapers is a small family-owned business based in Brattleboro. It sells all sorts of cloth diapers and accessories, and while it can't afford to run its own subsidized cloth diaper program, it donates to nonprofits dedicated to giving cloth diapers to families in need.
One of those organizations is Jake's Diapers based out of Fox Valley, Wis.
Six years ago, Stephanie Bowers, Jake's Diapers' founder, went on a women's mission trip to an orphanage in Peru where she said adults were reusing disposable diapers on the orphans.
Diapers, Bowers said, are a precious resource in developing and remote countries. In Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake, things were especially bad. Bowers said worms and chronic diarrhea were a big problem for babies, who often times sit on the ground without diapers. Many homes don't have floors.
"They were praying for diapers," Bowers said.
So Bowers started Jake's Diapers, a nonprofit dedicated to providing cloth diapers to children and families living in extreme poverty.
The goal of this project is "to help the babies and their families not only survive but thrive."
Bowers hopes that providing babies with diapers will allow families to spend money on other crucial items like food.
In the areas Jake's Diapers serves — Haiti, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, Democratic Republic Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Wisconsin and Papua New Guinea — healthcare is not always available to families.
"Maternal health care, or any health care, in Haiti is pretty much nonexistent," Bowers said.
Walking to clinics can take days, she said. Baby mortality rates are under-reported but, Bowers said, 30 to 40 percent of babies are reported to die. She said Haiti has the highest infant mortality rate in the world. The maternal mortality is also high, she said.
"It takes only $115 in the U.S. to provide babies with cloth diapers for life," she said.
Providing babies with diapers is a mission that Bowers is passionate about.
"This is a calling for me," she said, adding that she was deeply affected visiting developing nations. "It's a level of poverty that we cannot even comprehend," she said. "I start to lose words because the concept is challenging but real. They're just like you and me. I was born in Albany, N.Y. These babies were born in Haiti."
Jake's Diapers only uses cloth diapers, which Bowers said are more economical and practical for families living in extreme poverty. Many areas don't have trash service and cloth diapers are reuseable, so tend to be cheaper for some families.
Green Mountain Diapers donates diapers the company doesn't think it can sell, but that are still usable. The company doesn't sell in-store, but products are available for pick up. Amidon has a similar passion for diapers. Rather than discovering her passion while abroad, Amidon's interest in cloth diapers came from necessity, while at home taking care of her two children.
Amidon believes cloth diapering is what's best for children because cloth diapers are softer and more natural for babies. She tried cloth diapering with her first child, but it proved disastrous. Eventually, Amidon solved her cloth diapering woes. She and her husband, Doug Amidon, opened Green Mountain Diapers to offer more products to the cloth diapering industry.
Elizabeth Ellis, the customer support handler, started working for Green Mountain Diapers when Amidon asked her for help. Ellis was a stay-at-home mom who knew Amidon from church.
Along with handling customer relations and support, Ellis is in charge of coordinating the company's donations.
Green Mountain diapers also donates to The Rebecca Foundation, Giving Diapers Giving Hope, Share the Love, Cover Your Bum and Cloth for Everybum.
"We want to see babies who need cloth diapers to be in cloth diapers," Ellis said. "We know not everyone can afford it."
When Ellis started cloth diapering she assumed it would be more economical. Not all cloth diapers are cheap, though. Many new parents are attracted to the all-in-one diapers that have the diaper and diaper cover attached, but they're the most expensive diapers the company sells.
The diapers donated to places like Jake's Diapers are foldable. They're the sort of diapers used about 50 years ago, Ellis said. She showcased the Cloth-eez Flat Birdseye diapers, which come in one large size and can be folded multiple times. "They're easy to wash, so they're good for orphanages," Ellis said. She said they could be intimidating to newer parents, who are scared of the folding process, but for many moms they are therapeutic.
Cloth-eez is a brand designed by Amidon. Prefoldable diapers used to just come in infant and large, but Amidon designed newborn, small, medium, large and extra large. "They're effective and easy to wash," Ellis said. "They're middle of the road on price."
Green Mountain Diapers recommends that parents have about 36 diapers that fit their baby and about six to eight diaper covers.
Jake's Diapers takes new or used cloth diapers and monetary donations. To donate to Jake's Diapers, go to www.jakesdiapers.org.

Ian McGuire's The North Water is as transfixing and weighty as a looming iceberg; you know carnage is coming but you can't look away.
Longlisted for the 2016 Man Booker Prize,* The North Water is filthy with conflict; there's man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. beast,** but in this excellent novel, it is often difficult to tell the men from the beasts.
McGuire uses language to paint vivid watercolours inside your brain. So much so — you hear the wind scream, you feel the frigid sea spray sting your face, and you smell the blood. The prose is as rich and as satisfying as a bowl of homemade soup on a cold wet day. Like all the best books, there are sentences you can savour, reading them again and again and yet there is not a wasted word. The narrative reads like riding a runaway horse. You'd better hang on.
I read this book twice back to back. You should too. It's worth your time.
* Sadly, The North Water did not make the 2016 Man Booker Prize shortlist. A great shame.
** Not part of the conflict canon, but The North Water makes a case for man vs. beast as part of an expanded list.
The vitality of your review convinced me to get this from the library. I rarely read fiction, but this sounds like an invigorating change of pace. Thanks for the recommendation!
Ah wonderful! Beware — there are some chilling scenes in this book.
You make an enticing case for reading this book. The setting seems stark, interesting and vital to the book. I love novels where characters evolve and devolve. Is it reminiscent of Lord of the Flies but it an adult setting?
Thank you, Barb! Yes, the setting is bitterly cold and that figures heavily into the characters' actions.
Wow, I think I should read this!

Bikeshare Hawaii is seeking public input on the technology of choice for the eventual roll out of the city's bikeshare system.
"Bikeshare Hawaii, a nonprofit created through public and private interests, has set up a demonstration area at the Honolulu Design Center to get the public's take on which technology it should use ahead of next year's expected launch," reports Andrew Pereira.
The article accompanies on-air report about the effort.
"The company is looking at four different systems that are currently used around the globe. Two of the systems, Nextbike and Social Bicycles, utilize technology on the bikes themselves, while two others, Cycloshare and PBSC Urban Solutions, use so-called 'smart' docking stations. Bikeshare Hawaii is holding two open houses this month for residents to give each system a try and provide their feedback."
Once the system is built out, Bikeshare Hawaii will feature 200 docking stations and 2,000 bikes.
Hat tip to Jenn Stanley for sharing the news about the public outreach effort.

Green Impressions: Children's Movement for Ecological rights
Dr Naina Athalye Program Coordinator, Holistic Child Development India
Children have four basic rights of survival, protection, development and participation.
The ecological rights of children are embedded within these four basic rights. The rights of children to clean air, clean drinking water and food cannot be denied to them or violated and yet the ecological rights of children have not received much attention while it is they who are the first victims of ecological degradation.
The immediate impact of the misuse of our natural resources and ecology has been climate change. Climate change is largely due to human greed and aggression. Climate change affects the lives of children adversely. A children's movement for ecological rights and to mitigate climate change has been initiated through small groups of children called the "children's parliament."
The children's parliament is a group of thirty children from the neighborhood who come together to form a parliament, elect their ministers through consensus and meet every week to discuss events in their lives such as their school, home, sports culture and the community. In this forum children learn about their basic rights and mainly talk and share their views and ideas.
The psychological benefits of the children's parliament are yet to be studied. However about 200 children in the age group of 10 to 16 years who are part of the children's parliament in the northern states of Madhya Pradesh , Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in focused group discussions reported that they had become confident, less aggressive and angry , had better self esteem and were doing better in school.
The fact that they have membership to an exclusive group which is otherwise associated with elders weighs in their favour and is a matter of delight and pride for these enthusiastic children.
For many children engaging in environment protection becomes a way in which to express their relationship with nature. Within the children's parliament, the Environment Minister is usually responsible for taking up advocacy for Ecological issues.
Holistic Child Development India an Ngo based in Pune, through its partners in over 12 states of India, has initiated these parliaments. First started by the Neighborhood Community Network , Kanyakumari the children's parliaments are giving children confidence, building their self esteem and making them responsible citizens of India.
The achievements of the children in their assertion for a more eco friendly world are inspiring:
Plastic and its waste are carcinogenic and when children learnt of it in an environment studies class in school , the children parliamentarians in the village of Bhartiya, in Uttar Pradesh went to all shops in the village and conducted awareness camps to ban the use of plastic. The children prevented their mothers and other villagers from using plastic bags and have encouraged women's groups to make cloth bags out of used trousers and other recyclable clothing. The elders are happy and awe struck by the enthusiasm and seriousness of the children in tackling this grave issue.
Another thrilling tale comes from The children of the Jharna children's parliament in Garatola Madhya Pradesh where the children approached the District Collector and other officials and gave them a memorandum to free the village of the use of plastic on June 5 th 2012 and have been vigilant ever since to ensure that the village is free of plastic and its wastes. The children conduct awareness about ecology for the local governing bodies and women's self help groups.
The Bapuji Children's parliament in Kalahandi Odisha would have made Wangari Mathai proud.
The late Nobel Laureate Mathai once said, "It's really amazing. You plant a seed, it germinates and looking so fragile and within a very short time it becomes a huge tree. It gives you shade and when it's a fruit tree, it gives you food to build and transform lives". The Bapuji parliament in Kalahandi Orissa are relentlessly replanting trees around their forests as part of their reforestation drive. The children invite botanists to learn more about their herbs and trees and in turn educate their peers and other villagers. Around India the children parliamentarians have planted over one lakh trees in a period of two years
Close to the temple town of Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh is a village called Lalitpur where the Kanhaiya children's parliament have raised their voice against malaria and other diseases. The children found the Government municipal ity employee had not been attending to his work in the village because he had been given Mela duty in the village of Govardhan. The Local Chief (Pradahan) took up the matter with the municipality and soon the missing sweeper returned to the village to keep it again clean and free of garbage and mosquitoes.
The children in slums around the Delhi's Rohini region have been working for access of children to community commons such as toilets and clean drinking water. They have been voicing their concerns to the local MLAs and other seniors and are able to keep their garden, bore wells and toilets clean and accessible to all children.
When asked how India could become more eco friendly, Ram Niwas, 14 years. Home Minister and acting Environment Minister of Disha children's parliament Bhartiya village, Mathura UP says:
The Earth needs our protection and climate change is a serious issue which makes children go hungry when the parents have to migrate when they lose their livelihood. We have seen devastation caused by floods and drought.
We the children of the Parliament in Mathura Uttar Pradesh planted 1000 trees over 6 months of which 20 died and 280 trees were eaten by cows. But 700 trees are surviving and we care for them.
Trees are our only means of continuous survival:
They cushion the rain storms
They discipline the rivers
They control floods and moderate air temperature
They shelter our wildlife
They keep the desert at bay
They stop soil erosion
They hold up the mountains
Ramnivas further says that children can give back to mother earth by caring for animals , reducing the use of plastics and cars and achieving hundred percent literacy .

Regarding my recent post on what may prevent you from achieving your dreams. i am really glad a lot of you responded and said fear. i have said it time and time again, if your dreams do not scare you, then they are simply not big enough!!! please be rest assured that fear is part of the process.
No matter what sort of day you are having, hoping these innocent lovely girls cheer you up 🌸🌸. a dear friend shared this with me yesterday, i laughed so hard 😂😂😂. hope this makes you smile and laugh too 😆😂😆. they have obviously watched our movie chief daddy ❤❤❤. this funny video is 3 mins long, make sure you watch it all 😂😂😂. it will truly make your day 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽.
Such unfortunate news and sadness about the fire that has destroyed notre dame cathedral. a lesson to us all, that no matter the beauty of anything, it can all be gone just like that!
with this unfortunate incident that has happened, i pray the world now sees this as an opportunity to come together for a rebuilding of not just the notre dame cathedral , but also one that brings nations closer together - wisdom, beauty and goodness. so much rebuilding of nations is required all over the world.
but what is amazing is that in this destruction, the golden cross above the altar and the statue of v****n mary remained untouched in the devastated cathedral... jesus is most certainly alive 🙏🏾. god is on the throne🙏🏾.
If your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough. good afternoon beautiful people.
Good morning beautiful people, can you believe it! to summarise, this man was a winner, then he became a massive loser!!! then he became an inspirational winner last night, but everyone doubted he would ever win again! yesterday tiger woods won the 2019 masters! now the whole world has something to say! what i found most inspiring in all this, was what his former coach butch harmon said : "he was humbled by his own mistakes, the things he went through he created, nobody else created them, and he came out the other side. he got himself help, he got his body right, he got his head right and he went to work on his game"
these are all the key things he had to do to win - are we humbled by our mistakes? do we get help when we need it? do we even admit we need help? do we face head on, the things we need to fix in our lives to win?
massive lessons for us all. congratulations mr woods. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you did it despite all the odds, despite everyone thinking you were done! we must never ever give up on our dreams. it does not matter how many times you lose, just stay focused on how you need to win! winners become losers and losers become winners! and if you do it right, you keep winning!

Racine & Me February 11, 2018: "4th Worst City for Black Americans" Label and a New Bryant & Stratton College Campus
Jacob Kittilstad started the program by talking about racial disparity recently written about in a USA Today article. An index based on a number of socioeconomic figures – developed by 24/7 Wall Street – puts the city of Racine as the 4th Worst City for Black Americans (Milwaukee is #3). Jacob invited life-long Racine residents to the studio to talk about what factors they believe has led to the current economic situations. Click here to read the USA Today / 24/7 Wall Street article
The conversation continued in the next segment when Jacob spoke to younger activists and community organizers. The discussion centered on how much they look at the past when considering what to do in the present. The question of "What needs to happen to reverse this situation" was also talked about.
Next, Jacob welcomed the president of Bryant & Stratton College to the studio to talk about why they are expanding into Racine County. They recently announced they would be putting a campus in Mt. Pleasant in response to opportunities presented by both Foxconn and growing healthcare careers in Kenosha County. Enrollment for the Spring semester is already open. Click here for more information on the new campus
The Racine Public Library is also preparing for their 3rd Annual Mary Finley & Marcie Eanes Memorial Black History Month Read-In. The event allows people to highlight the writings of black authors – and also tries to get young people involved in that reflection. Jacob asked his two high-school-aged guests what they thought about what the older guests had said earlier in the program – and also asked them to reflect on their own racial identity.

Thoughts on coaching
Posted by Jim O'Leary on August 31, 2017 at 10:45 am
Photo courtesy of 215pix
On Tuesday, Philadelphia Union announced that former players Fred and Kléberson would be joining the Philadelphia Union Academy as coaches, continuing the quiet tradition of the Union players becoming Union coaches. Of course, Fred was the most obvious example of this minor tradition; even before his time as player-coach last season in Bethlehem it was speculated that his inclusion on the 2015 Union roster was more about mentorship than any product on the field, not dissimilar to the position Brian Carroll is in this season. So they join the likes of Jim Curtin, Chris Albright, Mike Sorber, and Oka Nikolov as members of the Union coaching staff with MLS experience. The majority of them even have Philadelphia Union experience, no small feat considering the relatively short history of the team.
Now, that's less spectacular in the scope of world soccer. Unlike baseball or football, soccer does seem to favor coaches with playing experience. Men like Jürgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola are known for their success as managers, but they had plenty of success as players before that. Contrast that with the American model, where coaches like Bruce Arena or Bob Bradley are arguably some of our best products despite no meaningful professional playing time. So the Union's personnel decisions might not be as surprising as they seem at first look.
But there is something significant about the prior experience being overwhelmingly in MLS, with an emphasis on the Philadelphia Union. One interpretation would be that as MLS/Union players they are seen as damaged goods due to association, but Kléberson in particular makes that feel inaccurate as well as ungenerous. He's a World Cup winner with experience under Sir Alex Ferguson. Whatever taint the Union or MLS may come with, his other playing experience should certainly be able to overcome it. So it doesn't take any fantastic leap of the imagination to assume that he, and probably the rest of the players turned coaches, are here by choice rather than for lack of other opportunities.
Coaching, like so many other jobs, is about who you know as much as it's about what you know. But that so many players have chosen to return does suggest that for all the strife and lack of success that surround the Union, there is something worth returning to. Maybe it's the work environment. Presumably for some of them, it's proximity to friends and family. But for a career where success is essential for continued employment, that isn't enough. They're going to put their time and effort into what they think is going to pay off, and for a lot of these guys they saw something during their time in Philly that makes them believe that payoff can happen here. Maybe not this season, but that kind of commitment, personal and professional, provides a sliver of hope that is desperately needed as the Union face what is certain to be a very difficult rest of the season.
Author: Jim O'Leary Jim started writing for PSP around the same time the Union announced they were looking to hire a Chief Tattoo Officer. Those two facts probably aren't related, but what if they were? He's on twitter @thejimoleary, but be warned it's only about 60% soccer.
It means we are cheap.
I have no issue with bring in former players, in fact its good our kids will be learning fro ma former WC winner.
But they need to be offset by proven, veteran, accomplished coaches higher up the chain.
We don't have that.
pragmatist says:
A lot of these guys are comfortable either in this area or in the US in general. One of the quiet undercurrents of this franchise has been how much the international guys like the area. They like the schools for their kids, the neighborhoods, etc. It doesn't seem that they are in a hurry to head back to their countries of origin, whether that is Brazil, Germany, or France (thinking ahead with LeToux).
I don't think there are any negative signs to take from this, particularly if these guys focus mainly on the Academy. Their experience and the respect they have earned is a positive.
It becomes a problem if the Union continue to operate as they have in the past with just grabbing the next guy in line for their manager of the big club. But let's not jump to that conclusion yet, and just appreciate that the local youth players will have exposure to guys with wonderful experience.
SilverRey says:
"Contrast that with the American model,…"
That was representational of MLS 1.0, but at this point MLS coaching staffs are mostly populated by ex-players. Right now there are only two head coaches w/o an MLS playing career (Sigi & Schmetzer – both played before MLS), and only four coaches who never played in MLS but played elsewhere (Viera, Heath, Cabrera & Martino). The rest are all MLS alum. All current coaches have national team caps – except for Sigi, Schmetzer and…. wait for it…. Jim Curtin.
I don't think Curtin is a bad guy, he does great with player management and has a lot of the qualities that you want in a coach. He just doesn't have the experience (i.e. tactical acumen) to be coaching at this level yet. I sincerely believe that we need to bring him back to the U-20s and let him gain that under the tutelage of a credentialed head coach, then maybe in 5 years he'll be ready.
But in the mean time, let's go out and get ourselves a head coach.
Jim O'Leary says:
When I said "American model", I was thinking about American coaching across sports. With the possible exception of basketball, successful coaches often AREN'T successful players in the major American sports. Like you said that carried over into MLS 1.0, but isn't the trend any longer.
spugger says:
Any article that successfully uses the word "taint" is A-OK in my book!
Also – I believe Brian Carroll is serving as a coach now with the Academy as well. He was one of the evaluators for the Pre-Academy. Maybe not on the books yet, but looks like he's going that route.
I've heard players before talk about what a great area this is to raise kids, so I think that probably factors in as well…especially once you're kids stop going to bed at 10pm 😉

John Kennedy Among 10 Senators Calling For The Cancellation Of August Recess
Louisiana Network
Louisiana Network Published: July 3, 2017
John Kennedy, Facebook
U.S. Senator John Kennedy is among 10 Senate Republicans calling for the cancellation of the August recess in order to address issues that demand immediate attention.
Kennedy says the current Senate calendar shows only 33 potential working days remaining before the end of the fiscal year and they've yet to approve meaningful reforms.
"Tax reform, health care, fixing Dodd-Frank, getting a flood insurance bill passed, passing an infrastructure bill," Kennedy said.
Kennedy says changes are still being made to the Senate health care reform bill and he's waiting to see if the final product is better than so-called Obamacare.
"And as soon as I get the final copy, I'll read it and make a decision, but if it is better than Obamacare than I'll vote for it," Kennedy said.
Kennedy says Congress has three months to extend the National Flood Insurance Program, which expires September 30th. He says a budget and 12 appropriations bills before that date also has to be approved to avoid a government shutdown.
"I'm not trying to be mean spirited, I know people need a vacation, but we just haven't gotten as much done as I like, and I say let's stay there through August," Kennedy said.

We cannot but God can. If we are to begin to impact our culture, we need to be biblically literate in order to correct misconceptions and have a biblical world view that shows how to incorporate this literacy in our modern day society.
As we grow in these two areas and reach out to our friends and neighbors, we will begin to change culture. This will be a generations long project but we need to begin.

The only material changes of substance are:
1. A notice of the meeting is to be read or posted instead of being read and posted as required by the present law. The present law requires the notice to be read by the rector or officiating minister. This section docs not specify the persons who shall read it.

The certificate contains more details than are required by present law. The qualifieà voters and the members are expressly constituted the corporation, instead of the trustees as provided by L. 1813, ch. 60, § 1, sub. 8; but the present law has been interpreted to make the members the corporation, Robertson v. Bullions, 11 N. Y. 243; Cram v. Evan. Luth. Soc., 36 N. Y. 161, and cases cited under $ 2.
If trustees are named, it will be considered a compliance with requirement that number be stated. Betts v. Betts (Sp. T.), 4 Abb. N. C. 317; but it is better to state number.
As to place of filing certificate, see $3 and cases cited.
The general qualification of incorporators, the naming of the corpo. ration and other general regulations as to certificates, are provided by
general corp. law, $$ 3-9. The persons before whom acknowledgments may be taken are specified in statutory construction law, $ 15.
The certificate must contain the names of the trustees and the corporate name, but a defect in record can not be taken advantage of by a person who has contracted with the corporation. M. E. Union Ch. V, Pickett, 19 N. Y. 482.

(L. 1813, ch. 60, § 1, subs. 8, 14-16. The provision of sub. 8 making the trustees the corporation is omitted, the members of the congregation being made the corporation by $ 31. See cases cited under $ 31.
Subdivision 16 expressly gives to the presiding officer of the board a casting vote. Omitted from this section.
The statute requiring a majority of the vestrymen contemplates a majority of the legal members, and not merely of a less number actually in office. Moore v. Rector, etc., of St. Thɔmas (circuit), 4 Abb. N. C. 51.

Master of the Flying Guillotine – (Jimmy Wang Yu) I debated several formats for writing this review: letting the title speak for itself (too short) vs. making a comprehensive list of things that the master of the flying guillotine could decapitate (too long). Suffice it to say, this long forgotten martial arts showdown (the negative was believed lost until 2001) is a nearly non-stop shamelessly-awesome fight sequence culminating in a battle between the blind title character and a one-armed boxer.
Artistry: ** Fun: ***** Strangeness: ***
Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People – (Ishiro Honda) The usual mish-mash of clashing personalities is stranded on a tropical island with little to eat in this 1960's Japanese supernatural thriller. The rusty, spore-covered shell of military vessel on the coast is no great reassurance. Just as the title suggests, they are eventually attacked by (and transformed into) giant mushrooms. Unforgettable monster suits and some psychedelic sets in the final act lead to an amusing "important lesson" ending. The film is based on "The Voice in the Night," a 1907 short story by horror grandmaster William Hope Hodgson (an influence on Lovecraft and later Stephen King), to date the only feature length film adaptation of Hodgson's underappreciated work. His epic novels "House on the Borderland" and "The Night Land" are ripe for screen versions.
Artistry: ** Fun: *** Strangeness: ***
Microcosmos – (Claude Noridsany) This French documentary uses miniature cameras planted throughout a field to record the lives of insects on their own scale. Set to classical music and assembled with loving care, the world of bugs is brought to life more impressively than any Discovery channel special or fictional family film has ever achieved.
Artistry: *** Fun: ** Strangeness: **
Modesty Blaise – (Joseph Losey) Modesty Blaise (Monica Vitti), as the title song proclaims, is a French 60's super-sexy super-spy who is really anything but modest. The government hires her and her knife throwing partner (played by Terrence Stamp) to stop international villain/playboy Gabriel (Dirk Bogarde) from stealing diamonds mid-shipment. Op Art, go-go dancing, spherical lights, umbrella guns and lipstick gadgets ensue. Note the way that the foxy duo's hair changes color and style not just every scene, but mid-scene also.
Artistry: ** Fun: **** Strangeness: ***
Monsieur Hire – (Patrice Leconte) A masterpiece of subtly and mood, Monsieur Hire evokes the danger and eroticism that lies just below the surface of deadly crime. Voyeuristic Hire, a sex-murder suspect, falls in love at a distance with his neighbor Alice, and even as the romance begins to ignite in reality, the unspoken secrets that each possesses multiplies the tension. Eerie and effective, Leconte's psychological thriller also shines in camera work and cinematography.

Who would win: Modesty Blaise or Chastity Jackson?
Modesty Blaise would definitely stand a fighting chance. She has her own theme song, gallons of attitude, magic 60's hair, sexist gadgets and a handsome assistant. I definitely favor 60's superspies over blaxploitation badasses, but that is just personal taste. I think that ultimately it would depend on who had the taller polyester boots.
