By training, I'm a lawyer. I didn't spend a long time in the full-time practice of law. Yet, I was blessed to be part of a great firm and to have solid mentors. I went to work at Abilene Christian University in 1989 and continued a small private practice until 2010.
For almost two decades, I've been studying conflict and the path to reconciliation. Actually, the study part is pretty easy — without conflict, there's very little to talk about. All of history is punctuated with conflict — minor disagreements, friendly competitions, life-long antagonism, and lethal combat. We spend the greater part of our waking hours navigating through conflict.
Granted, I'm better at conflict management on some days than I am on others. For 17 years, I was blessed to serve as the Executive Director of Abilene Christian University's Duncum Center Solutions (originally known as the Duncum Center for Conflict Resolution). I had a front row seat to see God's work in action as we assisted others in their conflicts and educated hundreds more in conflict management. I transitioned from that position in 2017 to spend my last bit of time with the university as Dean of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies.
As much as I have come to know about conflict and about peace, I learn something new every day. I am no authority, simply a pilgrim on the path to reconciliation.
You'll find that the writings on this blog break all the rules for building a strong readership. I don't concentrate on a single topic. Some posts are very serious. Others are just reflections on thoughts or experiences I've had. And still others bridge over into the fun that emerges from talking dogs.
Foster Dog . . .
The late Zoe, the Great Pyrenees – Siberian Husky – Wolf mix canine, who resided for three years in my backyard – came into our lives over a decade ago when she was adopted by our son. She came to live at our house when backyard space became an issue. We originally thought this was to be a temporary arrangement until a few health issues surfaced and we became attached to Zoe. About that time, I began expanding my Facebook and Twitter worlds and I needed something to write about. And thus, Foster Dog was introduced to my friends. My friends found her life to be much more interesting than mine and, thus, I dedicated a fair amount of energy to sharing "her" thoughts and philosophy on a semi-regular basis. It was all done for fun.
As mentioned, Foster Dog is no longer with us. After a short period of grief that now overlaps with other concerns, we are the proud family for Togo.
Togo has proven to be a challenge in some ways — as is evidenced by this picture when he was about one with his trophy, the remaining greenery of a particular bush he disliked. Shrubs, swings, air conditioner compressors. Nothing was too much of a challenge.
But Togo is past much of his youthful destruction and spends most of this time enjoying his daily walks and talking with me about the world around him. Togo makes us laugh and he teaches us lessons daily about love and not taking ourselves too seriously.
I hope you enjoy the content here. I would love to hear from you!

Individuals are recommended to understand Atlanta motorcycle helmet laws to increase their safety while on the road. There are specific helmet usage laws in Atlanta which may impact a person's injury claims in the event of an accident. Outside of the context of motorcycle accidents, these regulations could also lead to legal ramifications if they are not properly abided by. Reach out to a knowledgeable motorcycle attorney to learn about local motorcycle safety regulations.
The rules concerning motorcycle helmets in Atlanta is guided by O.C.G.A. § 40-6-315. Every motorcyclist must wear a helmet that is approved by the Department of Transportation. The Georgia Commissioner of Public Safety mandates that helmets comply with federal requirements, namely Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218. While there is no "list" of compliant helmets, there is the requirement of DOT compliance. A motorcyclist could learn more about what is considered compliant on the Department of Transportation's website. Manufacturers are required to certify DOT compliance. Riders could also use the Snell Memorial Foundation as a potential resource in selecting an appropriate helmet.
If a motorcyclist was wearing a DOT approved motorcycle helmet, it could show that they were compliant with the law at the time of the incident. A rider that is not wearing a motorcycle helmet is not following the laws of Georgia and may be thought to have contributed to their own injuries and damages. It may be important to always wear a DOT-approved motorcycle helmet when operating a motorcycle. Following the Atlanta motorcycle helmet laws are not only important for one's safety but can also be essential when assessing the damages in a claim.
Having a camera attached to the motorcycle or a rider's helmet could capture any incident live as it occurred. This may help a trial lawyer ascertain what occurred, how the incident took place, when it happened, and where all the relevant parties were at the time of the crash. A camera could allow a skilled attorney to better understand the facts of the case and how traffic laws may play into a person's injury claim. A recording may also capture statements by witnesses and the at-fault driver. If the case proceeds into litigation, camera footage may help prove disputed facts.
Individuals often falsely believe they could ride motorcycles without a helmet or otherwise operate a motorcycle without a windshield or protective eyewear. Other misconceptions may include the idea that motorcycles are easy to spot, are loud by nature, and are not subject to blind spots of other vehicles. People may also feel that there is no real need to use proper hand signals. These fallacies could impact safety and a proper view of traffic laws. Best practices of motorcycle safety could greatly decrease accidents in Atlanta.
Given the potential benefits of wearing a helmet while riding motorcycles, Atlanta has upheld specific laws that all riders must abide by. Individuals who have been in an automobile wreck may benefit from consulting a seasoned attorney who is familiar with Atlanta motorcycle helmet laws. Call today to learn what to do after a crash, and how helmets and other safety gear could be crucial to a motorcyclists' wellbeing.

Q: TortoiseSVN - Show externals changes Asked on the Tortoise Forums but haven't received a reply :/
I've been using Tortoise SVN 1.6 for some time now and decided to upgrade. However, I've noticed after the upgrade, that while trying to commit changes the externals do not show up at all.
In version 1.6 if I've made a change in external file, I was not able to commit it, however I was able to review what changes I've done and, if they were sensible, commit them to external repository (by that I mean - copy given file / changes to the appropriate file in external repo, then commit given repo).
To recap:
A - repo
-a.file
-B:external folder
--b.file - made changes
-C:external folder
--c.file - made changes

Trying to commit A doesn't display changes made in b.file, nor c.file, though these folders come up as changed in explorer. I can also commit them by right clicking each of these folders and then reviewing changes.
It wouldn't be so bad if I had one external, however working with 10> and right clicking on each of them becomes a nuisance.
Is there an option I can enable for the commit to behave as in version 1.6?

A: It is because your shared folders (B & C) are missing as part of repo A. The directory listing of A should be as followed.
Contents of A
a.file -> file
B -> link to external folder
C -> link to external folder
You might have created external links for B as followed,
A/B/b.file which links to <B_repo_path>/b.file
A/B/bdir1 which links to <B_repo_path>/bdir1
A/B/bdir2 which links to <B_repo_path>/bdir2
What is missing here is the link to directory B itself. So, there should have been a link to
/A/B link to <B_repo_path>

But sometimes, this is not a desired behavior as the above link fetches everything from repo B to /A/B (But you need only part of repo B to be under /A/B). You can avoid this by creating a directory (B) as part of repo A, and creating separate links for each child of B (which you already did above). Remember this directory B is just another directory under repo A, which links to nothing on repo B.

Example:
In the following image, there are links to sub-directories of shared folder. But there is no actual link to shared folder itself.

This directory is automatically created in your file system, when you try to checkout the main repository for the first time. All you need to do is check in that un-subversioned shared directory.

Every rule change at Labour conference 2021: what it means and how it passed – LabourList
Labour passed a number of constitutional amendments, known as rule changes, at its party conference this year. From those mandated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission to more controversial changes, we go through all the successful ones here.
Delegates did not vote on each separate rule change. Instead, they were grouped into packages, which were then subject to 'card vote's. Except one Momentum-backed reform, all of the rule changes approved by conference 2021 were put forward by the national executive committee (NEC), Labour's ruling body, which means they were championed by the leadership.
Card votes are used for policy motions when a show of hands is too close to call, and always used for rule changes because unlike policies they are binding. Each local party and affiliate delegation casts votes reflecting the number of members they represent, and these votes are then weighted so that CLPs determine half the result and affiliates (mostly trade unions) the other half.
Card vote one: "national equalities structures". This created a National Labour Party Women's Organisation, a National Labour Party Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic Members Organisation and a Labour Party Disabled Members' Organisation. (See CAC Report 1.)
Actual votes cast:
CLP, for: 342,921 (97.5%)
CLP, against: 8,723 (2.48%)
Affiliate, for: 1,810,113 (99.73%)
Affiliate, against: 4,825 (0.27%)
Overall percentage:
CLP, for: 48.76%
CLP, against: 1.24%
Affiliate, for: 49.87%
Affiliate, against: 0.13%
Total, for: 98.63%
Total, against: 1.37%
Card vote two: "national student structures". This made provision for the establishment of a new National Labour Students, after the old one was scrapped by Jon Lansman in 2019. (See CAC Report 1.)
CLP, for: 343,012 (98.12%)
Card vote three: "updates to language". This was uncontroversial, bringing the party's rulebook up to date. For example, swapping "Welsh assembly" for "Welsh parliament" and removing references to the European Parliamentary Labour Party. (See CAC Report 1 for full details.)
CLP, for: 345,375 (98.3%%)
CLP, against: 5,967 (1.7%%)
Card vote four: "membership rules". (See CAC Report 1.) The changes mean that:
members can participate in NEC elections and national and regional one-member-one-vote ballots provided they are fully paid up by a date set by the NEC, which will be no more than eight weeks before the ballot opens (this does not apply to leader and deputy leader elections, as specified in another new rule change);
the NEC can issue guidance on the standards of behaviour of elected Labour representatives and consider any behaviour not in line with it as "prejudicial and grossly detrimental" to the party; and
new members are subject to a period of provisional membership during which time their application for full membership can be rejected for "any reason which the general secretary sees fit".
CLP, for: 194,461 (55.44%%)
CLP, against: 157,928 (44.56%%)
Affiliate, against: 763,346 (41.91`%)
Overall percentage (CLP and affiliates each amounting to 50%):
CLP, for: 27.2%
CLP, against: 22.28%
Affiliate, against: 20.95%
Total, against: 43.24%
Card vote five: "party democracy". This codifies that local party NEC representatives are elected using a single transferable vote (STV) system. It also determines that there will no longer be by-elections for CLP representatives on the NEC: if someone needs replacing, the person who did next best in the last STV vote is chosen. (See CAC Report 1.)
CLP, against: 144,484 (41.02%)
Affiliate, against: 752,820 (41.04%)
Card vote six: "party meetings". (See CAC Report 1.) These changes:
introduce a "political education and training officer" role to local parties;
transfer the power to set quorum from the regional board to the regional office on the NEC's behalf;
mean local parties cannot affiliate with any group without the prior permission of the NEC.
Affiliate, for: 29.6%
Affiliate, against: 20.4%
Card vote seven: "local government". (See CAC Report 1.) These changes:
strengthen links between Labour and the Co-op Party at the local level;
give Labour group members the right to participate in meetings and voting remotely;
allows a Labour group to change its standing orders to increase diversity if it has the prior agreement of regional director and Labour's governance and legal unit.
CLP, against: 31,533 (9.09%)
Affiliate, against: 98,486 (5.52%)
Card vote 15: "snap parliamentary election candidate selections". This was the only CLP rule change that passed. Backed by Momentum, it means that a five-person panel including representatives from the local party must undertake shortlisting when there is no time for a normal process (i.e. when there is a by-election or snap general election). The panel must comprise: three reps from the local party, appointed by the local executive committee; one representative from the regional executive committee, appointed by the chair and vice-chairs of the REC; one NEC member. (See CAC Report 1.)
Affiliate, for: 776,187 (43.96%)
Card vote 16: "EHRC". These were mandated by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission and passed on Sunday. The changes allow for a new complaints process to be set up, which will apply to all complaints about protected characteristics. (See CAC Report 2 for full details.)
Card vote 17: "safeguarding and disciplinary procedures". (See CAC Report 2.) This group of changes included:
updating Labour rules to include all protected characteristics;
introducing a requirement for members to go through an NEC process before taking legal action against the party;
automatic termination of membership for a proscribed act and setting out the proscribed acts, such as standing for election for another party;
allowing exclusion based on committing a prohibited act, such as being involved with a group proscribed by the NEC; and
allowing the NEC to suspend any member suspected of committing a proscribed act.
Card vote 18: "conference". The number of motions debated at annual conference was cut from 20 to 12 and the representation of trade unions and socialist societies on the national policy forum (NPF) was increased. (See CAC Report 2.)
Card vote 19: "getting Labour election ready". (See CAC Report 2.) These changes did the following:
increased the proportion of MPs that a candidate needs to secure in order to get on the ballot in a leadership election from 10% to 20% of MPs;
raised the threshold needed for a 'trigger ballot', whereby local parties can submit incumbent MPs to a full selection process ahead of an election, to a majority of party and affiliate branches (these form an electoral college, with party branches voting with a weight of 50% and affiliate branches with a weight of 50%);
scrapped the 'registered supporter's category; and
introduced a six-month freeze date, meaning members must have six months continuous membership prior to the timetable being agreed for the election of national officers of the party.

FOX AND FRIENDS Ainsley Earhardt
WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE
BY FOX INSIDER
Ainsley Earhardt had a must-see sit-down with President-elect Donald Trump, Wednesday on "Fox & Friends." When Earhardt asked what's the first thing Trump wants to do upon entering the White House, he kept it simple: "I wanna go to work." On his use of Twitter, Trump said it's his only way to counteract what he called the "dishonest press." The President-elect said. "I don't like tweeting. I have other things I could be doing," Trump said. "But I get very dishonest media." He also stood by his campaign promise that he would build a wall to halt illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border. "We're going to build a wall; Mexico is going to reimburse us. ... In order to get the wall started sooner than we can do the deal, we have to do it this way," Trump said. Trump then discussed his plans to enact a new affordable health care system to replace Obamacare. "Nobody is going to be dying on the streets with a President Trump. We want to take care of everybody," he said.
Latest Conference
Martin Luther King III, the son of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. met with Donald Trump in New York City and discussed his "constructive" meeting with the president-elect. King III said the meeting was "very constructive" and that he and Trump discussed voting rights, which he called the "seminal right of the modern Civil Rights movement" He recalled his father as being a "bridge-builder" and said that his and Trump's goal must be to "bring America together." King said. "We are a great nation but we must be a greater nation," King said.
Nikki Haley Confirmation Hearing
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was on offense Wednesday during her confirmation hearing to become United Nations ambassador, blasting the U.N. for its treatment of Israel and taking a tough line against Russia. Haley, during her testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also questioned the disproportionate funding the U.N. receives from the U.S., asking if America is "getting what we pay for?" Haley said. "We contribute 22 percent of the U.N.'s budget, far more than any other country," Haley said. "We are a generous nation. But we must ask ourselves what good is being accomplished by this disproportionate contribution." President-elect Donald Trump has been a ferocious critic of the U.N. and just as fierce an advocate for Israel during his brief political career, and Haley echoed those principles.
Bayer AG - 3,000 Jobs
BY THE HILL
German-based Bayer AG has committed to President-elect Donald Trump that it will invest $8 billion in American research and development as part of its deal to acquire Monsanto, Trump's transition team said Tuesday. Incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that Bayer will also protect all of Monsanto's 9,000 American jobs while creating an additional 3,000 high-tech positions in the country. That agreement, he added, came after Trump met with CEOs from both companies last week. In a joint statement, the two companies said the new jobs will focus on ways to "drive future innovation in agriculture" with positions like geneticists, data scientists and engineers. The companies added that the investment will go to both Monsanto's St. Louis headquarters and other parts of the country. "The United States is a global leader in agriculture, and the combination of Bayer-Monsanto will underscore that role and ensure the United States retains a pre-eminent position as the anchor of the industry," the statement said.

MMA combines so many variations of combat sorts, which is just one of the few aspects that makes it the most popular fighting sport in the world. Well, the great news is, in 2019 we can expect even more action-packed fighting opportunities as new fighters make their way to the new weight divisions.
With 2 additional weight divisions for the lightweight and welterweight sections, more fighters can join MMA while also giving current fighters the opportunity to join a new category without having to cut own on the weight drastically. Of course, those above the weight levels would need to consider a middle weight classes, which might be more competitive, but it's a hell of a lot healthier than trying to cut 30 pounds before a fight.
The new 165 lbs super lightweight and 175 lbs welterweight categories form part of the classes in 2019, which is sure to introduce new competition as current fighters divide between the lines and new fighters join MMA for their change to take on the braves and see how they compare.
The new weight for welter eliminated the current weight, meaning the super lightweight would be an addition to light weight, but the current welterweight wouldn't feature next year.
With an aim to reduce the amount of weight fighters lose before a fight, the new categories are stricter than before to ensure those taking part have the opportunity to challenge others in the same weight class. The new rules also elimination the unhealthy weight loss, which has become a main issue as middle weight fighters drop down to join the lighter classes.
Fighters Must be 18 to 40 Years Old
While joining professional MMA requires a minimum age of 18, there are many ways to prepare yourself for the sport. Many recommend only starting with training at an age of 15 or even 16, but to become the best, you'll find MMA quickly becomes a lifestyle, starting a much younger age.
There are great benefits of starting young, offering fighters discipline, healthiness and focus with all they do. However, for those who want to become professionals, the most important would be the training and experience.
MMA consist of multiple combat sports, allowing you to choose from various fighting and grabbing styles. In fact, many master multiple forms of combat fighting, allowing them to have more options in the rink and to surprise their opponent.
Thus, you'll find there are some professionals who only join MMA at an older age as they rather take the time to perfect each fighting style they've taken on. These tend to be the fighters who make a read difference and move up in rankings a lot faster.
For those who would like to continue fighting after the age of 40, it is possible, but the requirements become rather lengthy. However, the MMA website provides all the details you need to ensure you get to step into the rink after 40.

Effects of hemodilution, blood loss, and consumption on hemostatic factor levels during cardiopulmonary bypass
Wayne L. Chandler
Department of Pathology & Genomic Medicine
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine quantitatively the effects of consumption, hemodilution, and blood loss on coagulation and fibrinolytic factor levels during cardiopulmonary bypass. Design: A combination of measured levels of prothrombin, antithrombin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, and antiplasmin along with their activation markers F1.2, thrombin-antithrombin complex, fibrinopeptide A, plasmin-antiplasmin complex, and D-dimer were used with a computer model of each patient's vascular and hemostatic systems to estimate the cardiopulmonary bypass-associated loss of each factor because of hemodilution, blood loss, and consumption. Setting: University hospital. Participants: Nine patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: At baseline, it was estimated that on average 2%, 3%, and 25%, respectively, of the baseline liver secretion of plasminogen, prothrombin,and fibrinogen were consumed by activation of these proteins. During cardiopulmonary bypass, thrombin and plasmin generation were increased, whereas fibrin generation was decreased because of heparin. Compared with baseline, hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass resulted in an average 35% ± 7% decrease in the concentration of coagulation and fibrinolytic proteins, whereas blood loss was responsible for an average 6% ± 5% decrease in these proteins. Blood loss varied substantially among patients, resulting in <1% to 14% decreases in hemostatic protein levels. On average, consumption because of activation resulted in less than a 1% drop in the concentration of coagulation and fibrinolytic factors during cardiopulmonary bypass. Conclusions: Hemodilution is the primary cause of the drop in coagulation and fibrinolytic proteins during routine cardiopulmonary bypass, followed by blood loss, whereas consumption accounts for less than a 1% drop in most patients.

Compared with baseline, hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass resulted in an average 35% ± 7% decrease in the concentration of coagulation and fibrinolytic proteins, whereas blood loss was responsible for an average 6% ± 5% decrease in these proteins. Blood loss varied substantially among patients, resulting in <1% to 14% decreases in hemostatic protein levels. On average, consumption because of activation resulted in less than a 1% drop in the concentration of coagulation and fibrinolytic factors during cardiopulmonary bypass. Conclusions: Hemodilution is the primary cause of the drop in coagulation and fibrinolytic proteins during routine cardiopulmonary bypass, followed by blood loss, whereas consumption accounts for less than a 1% drop in most patients.",

T1 - Effects of hemodilution, blood loss, and consumption on hemostatic factor levels during cardiopulmonary bypass
AU - Chandler, Wayne L.
N2 - Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine quantitatively the effects of consumption, hemodilution, and blood loss on coagulation and fibrinolytic factor levels during cardiopulmonary bypass. Design: A combination of measured levels of prothrombin, antithrombin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, and antiplasmin along with their activation markers F1.2, thrombin-antithrombin complex, fibrinopeptide A, plasmin-antiplasmin complex, and D-dimer were used with a computer model of each patient's vascular and hemostatic systems to estimate the cardiopulmonary bypass-associated loss of each factor because of hemodilution, blood loss, and consumption. Setting: University hospital. Participants: Nine patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: At baseline, it was estimated that on average 2%, 3%, and 25%, respectively, of the baseline liver secretion of plasminogen, prothrombin,and fibrinogen were consumed by activation of these proteins. During cardiopulmonary bypass, thrombin and plasmin generation were increased, whereas fibrin generation was decreased because of heparin.

Aayush Sharma welcomes Jagapathi Babu in '#AS04': He is an incredible actor
Mumbai : Veteran Telugu star Jagapathi Babu has boarded the cast of Bollywood actor Aayush Sharma's upcoming feature film. In a statement, Aayush welcomes Jagapathi Babu: "I am an ardent follower of cinema across languages and have always admired Jagapathi Babu sir's work.
He is an incredible actor and enjoys a huge fan following not just down South but nationwide as well." "The moment that the script was ready, I was very certain I wanted to request Jagapathi sir to be a part of the film because we could only envision him playing this role.
Can't wait to unveil a totally new side of him in AS04. I am truly blessed to have gotten the opportunity to not only share screen space with him but also learn from him everytime we are on the sets together."
Talking about his association with Aayush Sharma for AS04, Jagapathi Babu said, "AS04 is a very interesting film, despite being guided by an extremely exciting and refreshing approach, it is predominantly held by the fundamental traits of a typical Indian masala genre, making it a promising entertainer.
I am immensely glad Aayush and the team of AS04 approached me, and I discovered the gem of a performer that Aayush is, the hard work, dedication and knowledge that he brings to the table is truly remarkable and I am truly enjoying every moment of working with him."
Recently, Aayush Sharma unveiled a glimpse into AS04, which marks his fourth film in Bollywood, on his birthday. With his unmatchable swag and enigmatically charming persona, Aayush Sharma packed a punch with his stylized action in the teaser.
Followed by the announcement, was the unveiling of his co-actor, wherein Aayush launches Former Miss India United Continents 2015, debutante Sushrii Mishraa. Aayush is not only making headlines for his back-to-back projects but also the style of his announcements, as the actor adapted the South Indian style of title reveal for the tentatively unnamed films.
Currently being filmed in Mumbai, AS04 will hit the screens next year. Produced by KK Radhamohan, under the banner of Sri Sathya Sai Arts, the yet untitled action entertainer AS04 stars Aayush Sharma as the lead, co-starring debutante Sushrii Mishraa. Directed by Katyayan Shivpuri, the film is slated for release in 2023.

I'm not going to worry about it though. Instead, I'm going to lull you all into a false sense of security by sharing my recipe for strawberry shortcake.
Because truly, no one can resist the power of a generous helping of strawberry shortcake.
But first, I have to stop taking those dang personality quizzes that keep popping up on my Facebook page. You know the ones I'm talking about?
You know, fun, harmless quizzes like that. Only I'm not so sure they're harmless anymore.
I'm telling you, they're on to me.
The first one looked cute. One of my friends discovered her spirit animal was a bunny rabbit. Another friend said she was a puppy.
Hmm. Well, the description wasn't too bad. It said I kept to myself and was misunderstood. That sounds about right.
You know where this is going, don't you? My friends, who turned out to be Dorothy, Toto, and the Tin Man, now know they have to contend with me. That's right, I'm the wicked witch. On account of she's misunderstood and has a dark side.
I'm just misunderstood, my pretty!
Oh well. I guess I always wanted a flying monkey.
So why, in the face of all that, would I take a Star Wars quiz? Obviously I would get Darth Vader, right?
Apparently Darth Vader is too good for me. I got Emperor Palpatine. I swear I'm not making this up.
All I need is a little concealer. And maybe some blemish cream.
I figure there's one of two possibilities at work here. Either I'm the only one answering these questions truthfully (I know my neighbor is not a flippin' Ewok!) OR I really am a diabolic mastermind intent on taking over the world.
But let's not think of that right now. Right now … let's think about strawberry shortcake.
You like strawberry shortcake, right?… Of course you do… Give in to your cravings… Release yourself to the power of the shortcake!
Add the 1/2 cup sugar to the thawed strawberries; stir and let stand.
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix together flour, 2 Tablespoons sugar, baking powder, salt and zest. Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined and it rolls into a ball. Turn dough out to a floured surface and knead about five or six times. Pat dough into an 8-inch cake pan, Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
*Using frozen berries is key. If you use fresh, it won't create anywhere near as much sauce, and the sauce is the best part as it soaks into the shortcake. Fresh berries may make a prettier presentation, but when all is said and done, it's the taste that counts. Stick with frozen.
LOL that was funny, I actually did the spirit animal test before!
And the strawberry shortcake~~ oh my~ I practically wanna eat it from the screen~~ yummy!!

Assessing the effects on service users of three different Essay
Assessing the effects on service users of three different discriminatory practices in a sexual health clinic
This is an article about older gay men unmotivated to get tested for HIV due to homophobia. Research shows that 37% of men who are HIV positive in scotland are undiagnosed. This article is an example of NHS staff treating someone unequally and bullying them as they aren't respecting or tolerating their diverse service users.
Older gay men may have longer recovery time.
They feel that they shouldn't go to the sexual health clinics as they get bullied for their sexuality. This could also lead to spread of diseases as a patient who is HIV positive may be undiagnosed and not know. However, if a patient who knows that they are HIV positive despite not being diagnosed for it, will result in lack of socialising. They can no longer be sexually active, and start distancing themselves from their loved ones, which can lead to mental health issues because of loneliness.
Short term effects
Short term effects can be loss of rights as the equality act protects these patients. It states that everyone should be treated equally and not be discriminated against based on their characteristics. They can also feel marginalised and excluded from society leading to low self esteem and not willing to accept their identity. These can all result to mental health issues and depression, as an individual would constantly question themselves and not feel free to express their sexuality.
This article is about an 88 year old woman who sued the NHS after losing her job. She's never taken a day off 10 years straight even though she had a cardiac arrest in her work environment. Royal Berkshire Hospital claimed she didn't know how to use a computer. The NHS admitted to unfairly releasing her as she wasn't given an opportunity. She said: "I felt as though he had assumed that at my age and because of my health I was a liability and incapable of change and had to go." The employer had released her on a small action leading to false judgement about her based on lack of knowledge, making her story about prejudice.
Jolly felt disempowered, as they took away her rights of not being discriminated against and used it to make their own decision. This will make her want to regain her power, confidence and rights from the NHS hence why she sued them.
Many old people suffer from judgments and typical stereotypes which make them feel marginalised. Losing her job and hobby means she became isolated and socially unavailable to her work colleagues. She may of had responsibilities to take care of, without a job it'll make her feel worthless and lonely, which could lead to depression and mental health issues.
Infringement of rights
This article is about the NHS being fined ?180,000 after they exposed up to 800 patient's details who attended the HIV clinic. Emails were meant to be sent to individuals however the employer accidentally sent it as a group email, resulting in the violation of the data protection act.
As sexual health clinics are quite local, some of the patients would know each other and now know one another's business. If some patients were keeping this information between themselves, the breach of information leaves patients no choice but to tell family and friends about it.
For patients, this is even more stress as they may feel embarrassed. This could lead to negative behaviour such as aggression.
Prejudice – Judging someone based on some action. This tends to be on lack of
Bullying – Is when a person or a group of people continuously and deliberately cause harm to another.

Hi! A visitor to our site felt the following article might be of interest to you: Fairborn Police Reports. Here is a link to that story: https://www.xeniagazette.com/news/crime/2325/fairborn-police-reports-9


The brief was to design a brand and build a straight forward site to promote and provide an online presence for Kingshill Building.
From the first time I met Andy it was clear that he is very proud of his work and the site needed to have photography that showed off his work to the full. With wonderful photography from Rycroft Photography the site has been launched – www.kingshillbuilding.com – easy to navigate, clear and uncomplicated.
