Q: What are our work hours?

A: To make sure you will get the best results from our end of lease cleaning service, please do not forget to defrost the refrigerator and the freezer at least 24 hours before the booking. If the appliance isn't fully defrosted when the cleaners arrive, it might be impossible to clean it properly.
Q: Do I have to pay extra for any congestion charges or parking fees?
A: That is the only additional charge that you might have to calculate for your move-out cleaning. Our technicians always search for a free spot to leave the service vehicle. However, if such parking space is not available, then the client is required to pay the parking fee for the time the team cleans the property. If the rental is within the congestion zone, then also it is the customer who is responsible for the charges. Of course, you can book our move out cleaning service during the weekend (or during a bank holiday) when there are no congestion charges in London.
A: We will require deposit only if the estimate for the booking is over £400. In some cases, we might ask our clients to provide card details but only when we need to secure the appointment on our schedule. Most of the time, the payment is settled upon completion of the end of lease cleaning job and after the property passes a final move-out inspection of the work done.

A: Our end of lease cleaning professionals will bring all the products and tools necessary for the satisfactory completion of the service.

Q: What happens if the team misses something?
A: While it's improbable that our cleaners overlook a spot at the rental if the technicians have missed anything during the initial booking, then all you need to do is to notify us within 72 hours. We will arrange another cleaning of your rental property at no extra cost for you.
Q: What happens if a cleaner damages something during the service?
A: All professionals of the End of Tenancy Cleaning Near Me are vetted, bonded, and insured. It is highly unlikely something to be damaged during the service.

We guarantee that all technicians are hard-working but careful when on the job, so you probably won't have to deal with such scenario at all.
Q: Do I need to move furniture?

Hey, it is GREAT that you got invited to be one of the preachers at your town's ecumenical Good Friday service. I know it makes you nervous. Nerves are okay — in part it means you take preaching the Word seriously.
You mention that it makes you more nervous than your previous sermons because you've been given very limited time: just 5 minutes. That does make it harder in a way. How will you do what normally takes about 20 minutes in a quarter of that time?
At one time you signed up for my little online class "Your First Sermon — a Video Course." I would recommend going through the videos and exercises again, knowing in advance what text you'll be working on and what kind of service it will be part of. There may be questions about the context or purpose of this short meditation that you would want to talk through with your pastor. Or maybe not. That would be up to you — but it is often very helpful.
The kinds of study tasks that I recommend in the video would be just as useful when preaching Good Friday as in a regular sermon.
However, for this kind of service, you might want to spend some time reading all the different sections of the Gospels that will be read and spoken about in the service. That will give you a feeling for all the different moods that are captured in the stories of Good Friday.
Plus you might want to brainstorm other passages to read that might help fill your mind with relevant biblical context.
I might look back to Luke's stories where God sent heavenly messages about his Son Jesus.
and Jesus' transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36).
Having those stories in the back of my mind when speaking on that passage would give me a sense of Jesus' intimate connection to his Father throughout his life, and the ways God called out to him — which seems relevant as he calls out and makes his final surrender to return to his Father.
I think I would look up some of the "beginnings" in Scripture.
Genesis 1, "In the beginning…" of all creation.
John 1, "In the beginning…" in reference to God the Word, who is God even before creation and is then incarnate as Jesus.
Mark 1, "The beginning of the gospel…" where he jumps straight into the start of Jesus' ministry.
In some sense, on the cross when Jesus says "It is finished" he's referring to a journey that relates to these beginnings — something is "finished" on the cross, even though there is a lot more story before "the end" with a new heaven and new earth as at the end of Revelation. And what is "finished" on the cross makes the new heaven and new earth possible.
1/2 page: Retell the story of the text, emphasizing what you think Jesus must have been feeling physically and emotionally.
1/4 page: Talk more about the specific words Jesus spoke and the thoughts that have come up for you about those words through study and meditation.
1/4 page: Leave them with the questions that this text has brought up for you about your own faith and the nature of what Christ and his death mean for you.
In a meditation like this you aren't trying to give the congregation answers or instructions.
You are thinking and feeling the story along with them — but with a head start.
You just need to lead them through the story and draw their attention to the deep places these events lead us to in our faith and our questions.
P.S. If you lost your link to the "Your First Sermon" course, here it is again.
If you, or someone you know, is nervous about speaking in a Good Friday service, please forward this post to them!

Miracles in Pakistan
Laurie Kelley April 23, 2007
Assalam-a-laikum! I am home after a 24-hour flight and nine-day trip to Pakistan–the "Pure Land"–a place I can easily call a second home. This is my fourth visit, but the one with the most amazing results for hemophilia care. The years of hard work we have all expended are bearing their fruit for the patients who suffer with hemophilia. It was as if a miracle occurred: the government of Pakistan in the Sindh province will for the first time in history purchase factor for the patients! And, incredibly, will fund the first hemophilia treatment center in Karachi!
I had difficulty even finding the time to blog; Julia Long and I were kept on a rigid and packed schedule, to make the most of our visit. In our second day in Lahore (see the two previous posts to learn about the first half of our trip), we visited the Hemophilia Patients Welfare Society (HPWS) Lahore office, and visited with Dr. Shahla Sohail, a pediatrician and woman with VWD who helped establish the chapter. The chapter is well run and busy, attending to over 300 patients. It was a pleasure to see so many young men with hemophilia involved in running the chapter, including Masood Fareed Malik, the young but able president, and Farooq Ahmed, a young man who is employed by the society, and who I met eight years ago! It was fabulous to see this young man who was a dependent patient previously, now an employee, earning his own way and helping his fellow brothers with hemophilia.
Dr. Shahla had us meet some beneficiaries of Save One Life, who came to the headquarters. We also toured the clinic, and met with Bilal Ahmed, a 12-year-old boy, severely anemic and malnourished, who arrived to receive factor (see photo). He had been brought by his father in a journey that took six hours to get to the clinic. The child was shy with us and when asked if he knew who we were, replied, "They are fairies." He had never quite seen the likes of us! We pledged to include him in the Save One Life child sponsorship program, and the Lahore chapter of course will continue to provide care for him.
We also drove quite a ways in the heat, dust and traffic to a village where another beneficiary, Adil, and his brother Zubair live. They are sponsored in the US by Patrick M. Schmidt, CEO of FFF Enterprises, who also sits on the board of Save One Life. We were given an incredible welcome by these very poor people, including a lovely shower of pink flower petals, and many hugs and smiles. Their joy at having foreign visitors to their humble home warmed our hearts. We learned that Adil was doing quite well but often missed school due to bleeds. Save One Life sponsorship money pays for a tutor to come to his home so he does not fall behind in school. We pledged to buy him a computer, which was his only wish. Everything in Pakistan revolves around family life and education, and computers are relatively cheap. It's a great investment for a young man!
Then off to the airport for a two-hour flight to Karachi, a bustling port city that used to be the capital of Pakistan. Hot and humid, bursting with development and choked with traffic, Karachi is an amazing city that captivates. We had a reunion at the airport with members of the HPWS Karachi Chapter, and retired to the hotel for an overnight rest. The next two days would be packed for Julia and me.
On Friday, I first met with Ali Hakim, who works for Hakimsons, a distributor of factor products in Pakistan. He had arranged the logistics for an import of a rare donation of factor I product from CSL Behring in Germany. This was an amazing case: just weeks before leaving for Pakistan, we received notice that Alyzay, a two-year-old girl in Pakistan needed surgery to correct a cleft palate, but had factor I deficiency (see photo below). An operation would be difficult if not impossible. The product was not available in Pakistan. We called our contacts at CSL and within days had the product donation secured and on its way. Meeting the family and baby was touching and satisfying. The parents repeatedly thanked CSL, Hakimsons and Popular International, from where the original request had been made to us.
Next we met with the HPWS board members, and I was impressed with how far they have come in the seven years I had been away. They have more patients registered, are better organized, involve more patients and family members in running the society and are supported by a great roster of contributors. The headquarters are located in the Husaini Blood Bank, a prominent place for patients to go for infusions of plasma and sometime factor, when possible. On our visit on Friday, many patients had arrived to meet us. We shook hands and distributed donated toys to the children, who alternatively beamed their thanks or shyly buried their faces in their mothers' colorful "shalwar kameez," the comfortable traditional Pakistani clothing worn by females. Julia was able to see first-hand the people who benefited from our donations of factor from Project SHARE.
After the family meeting we toured the blood bank, and I was truly amazed at the renovations and improvement of the bank since I last visited. Air-conditioned, with TV sets for the children who often sit long hours getting treatment, clean and well staffed, the Husaini Blood Bank has evolved into a developed and enjoyable place to get treatment. Much congratulation goes to Dr. Sarfaraz Jafri and his team for their hard work. We took an excellent lunch at the elegant home of Mrs. Sarwari, who helps the society, and then were whisked off to visit patients in their homes. This part of the trip is always my favorite. I like patients to know that other people in other countries care about them and want to help, and I am always humbled by their faith and how they cope without sometimes even the basics in life, such as running water, electricity and of course, factor.
Friday evening, April 20, we were given a wonderful dinner at a restaurant by the HPWS. With us were so many friends and colleagues, including the HPWS staff, board members, doctors, and patrons. Pakistani food is simply delicious–spicy, varied and plentiful. After dinner we were given beautiful gifts in appreciation of our visit and our help. Last year, we donated over 1.5 million units of factor to Pakistan, which became our single largest beneficiary of aid. In the US, this amount would cost about $1.5 million.
Saturday, April 21, was a day that could go down in history for Pakistan hemophilia care in Karachi. Up till now, the government of Pakistan has not contributed to hemophilia care. Much of the work of organizations like mine and the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) is to eventually encourage the government to give support, by establishing hemophilia treatment centers and above all to purchase factor. Just last fall the Islamabad chapter was able to secure a 100,000 unit purchase form the government, something that had never before happened in Pakistani history. I know 100,000 does not impress those in developed countries, where this amount would only cover one patient for one year, but for Pakistan, this is a major breakthrough. Though Pakistan is a developing country, it ranks as one of the highest spenders on military as a percent of GDP. The government has money–and tapping into government funding for factor is the best hope for people with hemophilia, who currently must rely on plasma, which carries the risk of blood borne pathogens. And even plasma is out of reach of many people who live far, far from the cities and for whom transportation is unavailable. Plentiful factor, education, and home treatment must be the future of Pakistan.
Saturday morning, I met with the Sindh province senior Minister of Health, Mr. Syed Sardar Ahmad (see photo), with my colleagues Dr. Tahir Shamsi, hematologist consultant, and Dr. Shahid Noor, orthopedic surgeon and chairman of the HPWS Medical Advisory Board. Incredibly, after hearing our report of hemophilia needs in Pakistan, Mr. Ahmad on the spot promised to purchase factor–something that has never been done before in the Sindh province. On top of that, he also pledged to support the development of three HTCs in Karachi! This will mean true comprehensive care for all patients. The Sindh province is the second most populated in Pakistan, with over 30 million people, and Pakistan is the sixth most populous country on earth. This means a revolution in care for those in Sindh. We left the meeting beaming, our emotions soaring, with gratitude to the government of Pakistan, in particular to Mr. Ahmad, who so sincerely and obviously cares for people with hemophilia.
Later that day, Drs. Shamsi and Noor, and Saeed Ahmed of the HPWS, and Julia and I went to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, and asked the executive director, Dr. Rashid Jooma, if his center could be one of the HTCs in Karachi. We did this having just received the confirmation that morning from the minister of health! Rarely have I met a person who listened as deeply as Dr. Jooma. He took in all the statistics and anecdotes we shared about patients with hemophilia, and replied with insightful questions, to learn more. Ultimately, he gave his pledge that yes, this would be one of the HTCs. We could scarcely contain our joy. A true HTC with comprehensive care. This was surely a dream come true!
This is what we have all been working for, for at least eight years for me, and longer for the HWPS. You all know I have a son with hemophilia, who has the best medical care in the world, and all the factor he needs. We have longed to give back to the world, not just in charitable donations, like money or factor, but in encouraging the governments and people of the countries we visit to also invest in hemophilia care, to provide comprehensive, long-term care for their own people. While I love the Pakistani boys with hemophilia as though they were my own sons, they are not in reality. They belong to the Pakistanis, who must care for their own. After this day, they are further on that road than we all even dreamed they would be.
We celebrated that evening with a grand reception at the home of Dr. Ehsanullah, affectionately and reverently known as the Founder of Hemophilia Care in Pakistan. He welcomed about 50 patients, doctors, patrons and HPWS members for a feast. There were many speeches, congratulating the hard work of everyone present, congratulating the accomplishments of the day. In response to an electrifying speech by Dr. Shamsi, attendees began pledging support for children with hemophilia through Save One Life. In about 10 minutes, we had an additional 43 children with hemophilia sponsored! This is the equivalent to a donation of about $10,000 that will go directly to the HPWS and families. It was another miracle in a day of miracles. And the biggest and most stunning surprise of all was when Mr. Iqbal Billoo, who runs Popular International, a private company that supports the HPWS, and is Pakistan's distributor for Koate DVI and one of the only providers of factor concentrate in the country, pledged to give for free factor to any family who could not afford it. I honestly cannot tell you in words what this means; I cannot adequately express my gratitude for this profound gift. This is unheard of and unprecedented. Our deepest thanks go to Mr. Billoo and his company, for their complete devotion to patients who suffer with hemophilia, and for rewarding our hard work.
Thanks to everyone for an astoundingly productive and enjoyable visit: to the HPWS in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi for their great progress and achievements, and for their hospitality to us; to Popular International for their attentive help to ensure we were cared for in each city, and for escorting us to our various meetings; to the health ministries we visited; to the many hospitals and clinics we toured; and above all, to the hemophilia patients, for attending our World Hemophilia Days, for inviting us to their homes, to share in their struggles and family lives, and who rely on us for help.
Pakistan is a country stimulating to the senses: we recall the waves of heat and crush of humanity in Karachi, a city of 15 million; women swathed head to toe in black burkas; the magnificent architecture in Lahore; recitation of prayers over city-wide intercom five times a day; the incessant beeping of cars and buses like wayward alarm clocks; the pungent scents of rich spices from roadside vendors; the fragrant wafts of jasmine flowers wrapped around bracelets bought from young street hawkers… these things no longer awe me as when I first traveled, but still awaken my senses and fill me with life and joy. Pakistan International Airlines promotes Pakistan as "Heaven on Earth," and I can see why. It is not like a sunny island in the Caribbean to visit–it's not that kind of heaven. It has massive poverty along with its majestic mountains; pain along with its pride. But it is heaven in terms of its exquisite beauty–which I see reflected in its people, topography, history and potential. Sadly, the west has such a distorted view of Pakistan. It is a country with warm citizens, full of faith, compassion for one another, and used to working hard. Pakistanis are devoted to family and education; probably there are no better parents on earth. We were treated with kindness and graciousness everywhere we went. The doctors are among the best on the world. All we need is a little more time, to improve hemophilia care, with faith, discipline and unity, which happens to be the motto of Pakistan. Faith, discipline, unity…this past week has shown us that belief in these can move mountains and make miracles.

House of Representatives Passes 2007 Farm Bill
31 July 2007, at 9:07am
US - The U.S House of Representatives late last week passed the 2007 Farm Bill, which sets U.S. agricultural policies for the next five years, by a vote of 231 to 191.
Lawmakers did not include a number of proposals opposed by AMI, including a ban on packer ownership of livestock, requirements that packers purchase a certain percentage of their livestock in the sport market, as well as its exclusion of legislative proposals that would have created so –called "fairness" provisions affecting livestock contracts.
Other provisions of the bill include:
The measure passed maintains the amendment passed by the House Agriculture Committee last week that will change the way arbitration clauses can be included in livestock contracts, but not prohibit their use.
Country-of-Origin Labeling
The action taken by the House also maintains the Committee approved language that amends the mandatory country-of-origin labeling provisions included in the 2002 Farm Bill. These new COL provisions include four new categories of labeling for meat: a U.S. label that "may" be applied to meat products derived from animals that are born, raised, and slaughtered in the U.S.; a "mixed origin" label that could be applied to products that are derived from animals that are not exclusively born, raised, and slaughtered in the U.S. (product "may" be labeled as Product of the U.S. and other countries where the products likely came from); a label for meat products derived from animals that were imported into the U.S. for immediate slaughter from Canada that might read "Product of Canada, processed in the U.S.;" and, a label for all covered meat commodities from foreign countries.
Labeling provisions for ground product included in the legislation stipulates that ground beef or pork or lamb may be labeled with a narrative list of countries from which the product was derived. Labels may include the phrase "may contain" followed by a list of applicable countries. Civil money penalties for violations have been lessened from $10,000 per violation to $1,000 and a provision prohibiting the Secretary of Agriculture from developing of a mandatory animal identification program to implement the country-of-origin labeling remains in the statute.
The legislation expands the energy title of the Farm Bill to include $2 billion in loan guarantees for biorefineries, with half going to loans of less than $100 million, and the remainder going for loans of up to $250 million. The legislation also provides through another mechanism loan guarantees for renewable electricity production facilities up to $25 million. Additionally, the program expanded the eligibility of renewable fuels and energy, with the limitation that co-processed renewable diesel is not eligible.
State-Inspected Meat and Poultry Products
The bill includes a provision that would allow interstate shipment of state-inspected meat and poultry products if they are inspected under a state system that is "identical" to the USDA inspection requirements. In addition to meeting all federal regulations relevant to the inspection of meat and poultry products, State programs would also need to follow all federal rules, directives, notices, and memoranda.
Market Access Program/Foreign Market Development
The bill authorizes a funding for MAP at the level of $225 million for each year over the five year life of the bill. This number represents an increase of $25 million per year over the final funding level of the 2002 Farm Bill. The FMD program is reauthorized at $34.5 annually, which maintains the authorization level it received in the 2002 Farm Bill. Industry recipients of these promotional dollars include the U.S. Meat Export Federation, The U.S.A. Poultry and Egg Export Council, and the U.S. Hides, Skin and Leather Association.
The Senate has not yet acted on its version of the Farm Bill.

Even cemeteries are feeling the heat
By Vic Sumalinog on October 31, 2019
The most common method of disposing the dead through burial in the ground is making cemeteries like overly packed cans of sardines. Photo by Bing Gonzales
Over-population today is not anymore confined in the domains of the living. Even the communities of the dead are becoming heavily congested and are adding up to the problem wanting in solution from the leaders of hose still walking the earth.
It is no fiction to hear stories that most, if not all, of the country's cemeteries, especially the public ones are so crowded with tombs and niches that hardly a space is left to wiggle for those who go there to bury their dead or pay homage to their departed. This is largely because in every municipality in the entire country public cemeteries are not expanded in areas. And there are no new cemetery sites added.
This, without doubt, is the reason of the very strong growth in the memorial park business these days. In fact large conglomerates that are into property development for the living, as well as those in the pawnshops, remittance and jewelries businesses are now venturing into putting up high-end havens for the dead. But private memorial cemeteries are expensive and seemingly affordable only to families belonging to the higher strata of Philippine society.
So, local governments and churches are pushed to the wall searching for ways to address the problem of the acute need for more space to bury or entomb the dead.
Bringing back an old practice
One old practice that can be a solution to the problem of "over population" of cemeteries is cremation of the dead, a system that has remained unacceptable to many Filipinos who are deeply religious and have a high sense of respect for their dead love ones. The method however, is already gaining acceptance. In fact certain local governments are encouraging its adoption. Today such method of disposing the dead is becoming more a necessity rather than an attempt to bring an old practice.
There is no doubt that local governments have realized that the most common method of disposing the dead through burial in the ground is making cemeteries like overly packed cans of sardines. Add to it the embolden desire of some homeless to have something they can call home, cemeteries nowadays are not even safe from the living. They who got no fear of ghosts and other hair-raising tales squat on vacant cemetery lots, on its perimeter fence, and even on top of graves of the dead. Hence, local government leaders see cremation as a long-term option to arrest the over-population of what is to be the final resting place of the people on earth.
But what really is cremation? When was this adopted and why has the means been widely practiced by some ancient and modern yet influential countries today? Is the method accepted by the Church?
According to the World Book Dictionary CREMATION is burning of a dead body to ashes. It has been practiced since time immemorial. But according to the World Book this practice of disposing the dead was not used in ancient China and Egypt. This was however, practiced in ancient Greece and Rome.
The World Book says that the ancient Greeks and Romans believed that burning the body "purifies the soul and releases it from its earthly form." The World Book also adds cremation remained "uncommon in Christian countries until the 1800s." It says further that the early Christians believed in the eventual reuniting of the body and the soul. Thus they viewed cremation then as a form of disrespect.
Vatican-issued guidelines explained
On October 24, 2016, or roughly a little over a week before the commemoration of All Saints and All Souls Days of that year, Vatican released new guidelines governing cremation as a way of disposing the dead.
Fr. Francis Lucas, Executive Director of the Catholic Media Network (CMN) of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), in a television interview beamed nationwide days before the celebration of All Saints and All Souls Days that year, said that the Catholic Church already officially accepted cremation as a mode of disposing the dead only in 1964. However, the acceptance was also laced with restrictions.
In explaining the guidelines Fr. Lucas, said one of the salient provisions therein is for the immediate relatives of the dead to place the ashes inside an urn and bury the same in a tomb in the cemetery or a crypt under a structure previously authorized by the Church. The ashes could also be deposited inside special vaults in a columbary the use of which is for a specific period of time subject to renewal. These, according to Fr. Lucas, are hallowed grounds or locations that are blessed by the Church, therefore are places considered holy.
The CBCP official further explained in the interview that the Vatican-issued guidelines prohibit the keeping of the urn containing the ashes inside the houses of any or all relatives of the dead. Also disallowed, according to the CBCP official, is the scattering of the ashes in the sea or wind, or in any specific place willed by the dead. The Church also restricts the apportioning of the ashes to immediate family members as the ashes represent the whole body of the dead. Thus, according to Fr. Lucas, dividing it is like one family member taking the hands, another getting the head, still another, and so on and so forth sharing a piece of the human body.
However, the CMN executive director explained to the station's viewers that the Vatican still allows certain exceptions. But there is a stringent process needed to be granted such leeway to dispose of the ashes.
Rekindled interest in cremation
But what could have triggered the people's interest to adopt the cremation practice these days? As earlier mentioned, public cemeteries or common burial grounds are now heavily congested. And while there are newly developed memorial parks, acquiring a lot from these private cemeteries for single, double or multi-burial purposes is very expensive despite promotional offers brought about by competition. Add to it the high cost of burial services like provision of sealable concrete box for the coffin and the digging, the cost of burying the dead in such corporate-owned resting havens becomes all too exorbitant.
Another unmistakable reason is the concern on land use in urban areas. Governments have made it difficult both for the Church and the corporate groups to acquire properties intended to be used for purposes of burying the dead; and for believably good reasons, environment and health concerns among them. Hence, there is a reawakening of interest in cremation to dispose of the dead. That is why today's modern memorial parks also provide facilities for such means of disposal. These facilities are called crematories.
As previously stated, cremation in the Philippines is not yet widely accepted. Many attribute this hesitance in the adoption of that particular method of disposal to the Filipinos' value of very high respect for family members. And it is carried on until the time of their death and in the disposal of their bodies.
Now there are clear indications that the more schooled and the families of the elite appear to have overcome, or perhaps done away with such value. And it is from their ranks that cremation has become readily acceptable.
Davao's "cremated" crematory project
In other countries however, cremation has been prevalent as a means of disposing the dead. According to the World Book, cremation accounts for the disposal of 50 percent of the dead in Australia. The United Kingdom about 70 percent, and about 15 percent of the dead in the United States are also cremated.
In Japan, an Asian country like the Philippines, cremation is widely practiced. Ninety five (95) percent of the dead in that country are cremated, according to the World Book.
The City of Manila has already set a trend by building a columbary for the dead of poor families whose relatives would prefer cremation than direct burial.
Some years back the local government of Davao City wanted to have its own crematorium. It was assumed that with the project a columbary was to be built as depository of the ashes of the city's dead.
It was a worthy project that did not see the light of day. It was "cremated" by strong oppositions from some well-meaning sectors of Davao society.
So on All Saints and All Souls Day, that is on Friday, November 1, and Saturday, November 2, public cemeteries already full to the brim with tombs of the dead, will also be overwhelmed by the living who will come to visit and pay respect to their departed loved ones.
For the more affluent memorial parks however, the large spaces available would still be packed with more living individuals visiting their dead relatives. But the open grounds inside the walled havens of the dead will also be occupied fully with vehicles of the living whose owners are likely having the passion for recognition and the desire to be associated with the higher level of Philippine society – the rich and famous.

The Downside of Antibiotics
Antibiotics are strong medicines that help to stop infections. Since their discovery they have saved the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide and continue to play an important role in modern day medicine. Unfortunately when they are used too much, or for the wrong types of sicknesses, they can have undesirable consequences. Below are 3 common problems associated with the use of antibiotics, and are a good indication of why Americans should consider natural remedies whenever possible.
Antibiotics Don't Work Against Viral Infections
Antibiotics are not required for all types of illnesses. In fact, they only work against infections caused by bacteria. Bacteria are living organisms that are not considered plans or animals. They are individual cells that are microscopic, but multiply very fast, often resulting in millions of them together causing a stubborn infection. To combat these pesky invaders we use antibiotics which are produced by microorganisms (often molds) which don't want to share their nutrients with the bacteria. Viruses, on the other hand, are smaller than bacteria and have an outer casing that prevents antibiotics from being able to kill them. If you use an antibiotic for a viral infection, it will not cure it, but rather build up resistance to the medication.
Antibiotics Kill Good and Bad Bacteria
Our bodies need bacteria in order to function. Good bacteria, called commensals, are vital for digesting food, producing essential vitamins and other important body functions. Unfortunately antibiotics cannot tell the difference between good and bad bacteria. If your doctor is not sure what the exact type of bacteria is that is causing the infection, he/she will likely prescribe a broad-spectrum antibiotic. This will treat a wide range of possible infections and will essentially wipe out all the good bacteria in the region along the way. A narrow-spectrum antibiotic will be used if there are only a few possible types of bacteria that could be causing the infection and will reduce the amount of good bacteria lost. Sometimes your doctor will prescribe you probiotics to replenish this lost flora to prevent diarrhea and other symptoms that come up when your good bacteria is down in numbers.
Regular Use Builds Up Resistance
If you use antibiotics too frequently or have used an especially strong dose to wipe out an infection there is a good chance that remaining bacteria will become resistant to them. When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics, but not killed, they begin to develop a way to overcome the reaction to the antibiotics. This is problematic because overtime the antibiotics become ineffective and the bacteria adapt into these superbugs that cannot be killed by any medicines that we have available.

January 2010 I am leaving NYC and returning home to Atlanta. I have been in New York for six years now and there have been significant changes in my family. We've lost a dear loved one and new people (big and small) have been welcomed into the fold. In light of all of this, I have decided to, instead of renewing my lease another year, move out of my current apartment and head back south. In April I will pack up my pens, pencils, and paper and hop on a plane to . . .
My plans are still brewing, so if anyone has suggestions on finding an apartment, places to see, people to meet, etc. etc…please don't be shy about sharing.
My goal is to learn the art of printmaking, specifically lithography. I have a few small leads, but am still looking and planning. So, those are plans for 2010! It should be an exciting and challenging year and I am looking forward to many new experiences, more growth, and a host of new people to add to the collection ;-).
Sounds like the amazing life of artists… Erin and I are planning on moving to NY in May and stay for a couple of years and then move on to England for a Masters. It made me laugh to see the similarity in plans…That is way exciting for you! and lithography is strangely magical! How fun!
This sounds like a brilliant plan. Always live life forward as if you were looking back on it fondly! I might follow your lead, it is such a great idea!
In order to live the dream we gotta dream the dreams, right?
Thanks Renae! If you're in Atlanta or Paris next year, look me up!

Powerful Earthquake in Eastern Indonesia: 23 Dead - 2004-02-06
A powerful earthquake has struck Indonesia's remote eastern province of Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), killing at least 23 people and injuring dozens more.
Local officials say the quake measured 6.9 on the Richter scale and hit during the pre-dawn hours Friday. It was centered on the northern coast of Papua, which is on Indonesia's half of Borneo island.
Many buildings in the region were damaged or destroyed, including a hospital, an airport and people's homes. Several aftershocks have been reported as well.
Frightened residents are staying out of their homes, fearing more aftershocks. The governor of Papua (Jacob Solossa) is expected to travel to the hardest-hit areas on Saturday to coordinate relief operations.
In the hard-hit town of Nabire, many of the injured are being treated in tents because of the damage to its main hospital. Police were helping residents search through rubble looking for missing relatives.
The Indonesian archipelago is one of the world's most earthquake-prone areas.

Women's Under-19 - Barrling upbeat amid Germany joy and relief - News
Barrling upbeat amid Germany joy and relief
Thursday 22 August 2013 by Steffen Potter
Germany assistant boss Bettina Wiegmann was relieved to finally crack the code of a miserly Sweden defence that was the aspect of his side's display that most pleased Calle Barrling.
Barrling upbeat amid Germany joy and relief ©UEFA.com
Calle Barrling, Sweden coach
Our performance was excellent, defensively at least. Germany had the ball a lot but didn't create that many chances – I think they scored from their third chance. For 60 minutes we were in the game. But it is also about creating our own opportunities and our passing was terrible for some reason. It wasn't that good against Finland either. So while our defensive performance was really good, in attack our passing was not our usual style. We can do much better. Usually we are an attacking side, but against Germany you must defend well and we did.
Had we managed to last another 15 minutes without conceding, maybe they would have been satisfied with a draw as well. But their first goal was excellent. Next time, if we want to go to the semi-finals, our attacking must be better. However, I think when we sit down and talk about the game, we will be positive. You have to have a good team spirit to fight like we did and it is always tough to play Germany.
Initially we were not that satisified with only a point from Finland but it was a point and one that could prove very important in the end. We have had injured players in the squad and there was a long [mid-season] break because of the Women's EURO, so [with improved fitness] I think the third game will be great. And if we have a chance to play a fourth we will take that chance. We are really positive. It could also be important not to have let Germany score too many goals. So tonight I think we will look forward to Norway.
Bettina Wiegmann, Germany assistant coach
Well, we did have quite a hard time against what was a defensive Swedish team. We did not play that well because they dropped really deep and destroyed our game. But I think we tried everything and tried to play our way through and in the end we scored two goals and deservedly won.
Compared with the Norway game [a 5-0 Germany victory], I think we had much more movement in our game on Monday, we swapped positions much more and also Norway did not drop as deep as Sweden and were not as compact in the centre. So we had bigger gaps to play through there, we were much better in that game and had more movement – we could play more football, start a run and let our combinations work for us. Today, after winning the ball, we were a bit slow to attack. We took too long to bring the ball into play and did not have enough pace about us.
Of course, one way of cracking a tight defence is to get wide and cross the ball, and in the end that worked for us in the second half. But as they say, it doesn't matter how you score, the main thing is that you score. We are happy to have the possibility not only to score from combinations but also to have some joy with crosses. We have been watching our next opponents Finland and their 1-1 draw with Sweden was not undeserved. It will be another difficult game against them, which we will enter fully focused. And of course it is our aim to be successful in that game as well.

Civil liberties in the United States are certain unalienable rights retained by (as opposed to privileges granted to) citizens of the United States under the Constitution of the United States, as interpreted and clarified by the Supreme Court of the United States and lower federal courts. Civil liberties are simply defined as individual legal and constitutional protections from entities more powerful than an individual, for example, parts of the government, other individuals, or corporations. The explicitly defined liberties make up the Bill of Rights, including freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to privacy. There are also many liberties of people not defined in the Constitution, as stated in the Ninth Amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

The extent of civil liberties and the percentage of the population of the United States who had access to these liberties has expanded over time. For example, the Constitution did not originally define who was eligible to vote, allowing each state to determine who was eligible. In the early history of the U.S., most states allowed only white male adult property owners to vote (about 6% of the population). The 'Three-Fifths Compromise' allowed the southern slaveholders to consolidate power and maintain slavery in America for eighty years after the ratification of the Constitution. And the Bill of Rights had little impact on judgements by the courts for the first 130 years after ratification.

United States Constitution

Freedom of religion

The text of Amendment I to the United States Constitution, ratified December 15, 1791, states that:

Freedom of expression

Free Speech Clause

The text of Amendment I to the United States Constitution, ratified December 15, 1791, states that:

Free Press Clause

The text of Amendment I to the United States Constitution, ratified December 15, 1791, states that:

Free Assembly Clause

The text of Amendment I to the United States Constitution, ratified December 15, 1791, states that:

Petition Clause

The text of Amendment I to the United States Constitution, ratified December 15, 1791, states that:

Free speech exceptions

The following types of speech are not protected constitutionally: defamation or false statements, child pornography, obscenity, damaging the national security interests, verbal acts, and fighting words. Because these categories fall outside of the First Amendment privileges, the courts can legally restrict or criminalize any expressive act within them. Other expressions, including threat of bodily harm or publicizing illegal activity, may also be ruled illegal.

Right to keep and bear arms

The text of Amendment II to the United States Constitution, ratified December 15, 1791, states that:

Sexual freedom
The concept of sexual freedom includes a broad range of different rights that are not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. The idea of sexual freedom has sprung more from the popular opinion of society in more recent years, and has had very little Constitutional backing. The following liberties are included under sexual freedom: sexual expression, sexual choices, sexual education, reproductive justice, and sexual health. Sexual freedom in general is considered an implied procedure, and is not mentioned in the Constitution.

Sexual freedoms include the freedom to have consensual sex with whomever a person chooses, at any time, for any reason, provided the person is of the age of majority. Marriage is not required, nor are there any requirements as to the gender or number of people you have sex with. Sexual freedom includes the freedom to have private consensual homosexual sex (Lawrence v. Texas).

Equal protection

Equal protection prevents the government from creating laws that are discriminatory in application or effect.

Right to vote

The text of Amendment XIV to the United States Constitution, ratified July 9, 1868, states that:

The text of Amendment XV to the United States Constitution, ratified February 3, 1870, states that:

The text of Amendment XIX to the United States Constitution, ratified August 18, 1919, states that:

The text of Amendment XXIII to the United States Constitution, ratified January 23, 1964, states that:

The text of Amendment XXVI to the United States Constitution, ratified July 1, 1971, states that:

Right to parent one's children

The right to parent one's own children also includes the right for a parent to teach their children as they see fit, and not have others govern over what their children are taught.

Right to privacy

Right to marriage

In the 1967 United States Supreme Court ruling in the case of Loving v. Virginia found a fundamental right to marriage, regardless of race. In the 2015 United States Supreme Court ruling in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges found a fundamental right to marriage, regardless of gender.

Le réseau Car Express désigne un réseau de transport en commun interurbain géré par la communauté d'agglomération du Pays Basque et desservant les communes la composant.

Depuis 2019, ce réseau est intégré au réseau unifié Txik Txak.

Histoire
En 2013, le conseil départemental des Pyrénées-Atlantiques met en place un réseau de transport en commun interurbain pour le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Il se divise en deux secteurs: le Béarn (ayant Pau comme point central) et le Pays basque (ayant Bayonne comme point central).

Avec la création de la communauté d'agglomération du Pays Basque en , tous les transports en commun du territoire sont alors dirigés par cette administration, à l'exception des lignes interurbaines (Transports 64), qui reste dirigé par le département. C'est en  quand la région Nouvelle-Aquitaine récupère les lignes interurbaines départementales, mais décide de donner à la nouvelle communauté d'agglomération celles traversant intègrement son territoire. C'est alors que la nouvelle image des transports en commun au Pays basque, accompagnée de la création d'un réseau unique, se forme.

Q: git lfs, store file in actual location The problem
A while ago my team started using git LFS, our project uses about 60 GB bmp files. I pushed the bmp files from my system to the remote, all images are correctly stored on LFS.
Whenever a colleague pulls the repository something weird happens, the bmp files are downloaded but stored in a different location. The image folder now contains a bunch of useless pointers instead of the actual images.
Desired solution
The image files are stored in their actual location instead of a useless pointer. In other words, I want the lfs files to behave like all the regular files.

A: In order for Git LFS to check out the files on your system properly, you need to have installed the Git LFS software and run git lfs install at least once, or have otherwise configured the filters propely.  On some systems, like Debian (and, I believe, when using Git for Windows), this is already configured for you, but otherwise, you need to run that command.
Once you do that, further checkout and clone operations will result in the files behaving very much like normal.  If you want to fix the existing files in your working directory, try git lfs pull, which should result in those files being properly checked out.

"Etching with Electron Beam Generated Plasmas" by D. Leonhardt, Scott G. Walton et al.
A modulated electron beam generated plasma has been used to dry etch standard photoresist materials and silicon. Oxygen–argon mixtures were used to etch organic resist material and sulfur hexafluoride mixed with argon or oxygen was used for the silicon etching. Etch rates and anisotropy were determined with respect to gas compositions, incident ion energy (from an applied rf bias) and plasma duty factor. For 1818 negative resist and i-line resists the removal rate increased nearly linearly with ion energy (up to 220 nm/min at 100 eV), with reasonable anisotropic pattern transfer above 50 eV. Little change in etch rate was seen as gas composition went from pure oxygen to 70% argon, implying the resist removal mechanism in this system required the additional energy supplied by the ions. With silicon substrates at room temperature, mixtures of argon and sulfur hexafluoride etched approximately seven times faster (1375 nm/min) than mixtures of oxygen and sulfur hexafluoride (,200 nm/min) with 200 eV ions, the difference is attributed to the passivation of the silicon by involatile silicon oxyfluoride sSiOxFyd compounds. At low incident ion energies, the Ar–SF6 mixtures showed a strong chemical (lateral) etch component before an ion-assisted regime, which started at ,75 eV. Etch rates were independent of the 0.5%–50% duty factors studied in this work.

Maybe it's time to upgrade your set of wheels. Maybe you're looking to turn your back patio into that party balcony you've always dreamed of. Or maybe you want to check that European holiday off your bucket list. When you're looking at a major life purchase like these, there's a possibility you'll use a personal loan to help you get there.
Before you apply for a personal loan however, it's best to understand all the factors involved. Here are the top things to study up on before you apply.
The long and short of it is that you borrow money from your bank and then pay the money back in a series of instalments, along with any interest and fees.
There are two main types of personal loan. Secured personal loans are attached to an asset that your lender can repossess if you aren't able to make the loan payments. The asset is often the thing that you buy with the loan, like a car for example, but can also be another relevant item with similar value. Sound scary? Don't stress too much, repossession will usually only occur in the event of a serious default on payments. Meanwhile, unsecured loans don't use collateral, but interest rates can be higher. Discuss with your bank what your needs are and which type works best for you.
Then it's time to get an understanding of interest rates. Finding the right loan often comes down to finding the right rate, paired with low fees. A lower rate could mean a lower cost of credit, but make sure you check out a comparison rate first to gauge the real cost of credit. You could end up paying back less overall compared to a loan with a higher rate. It's also important to check if the interest rate is fixed or variable. If it's variable the rate can go up or down which can affect your repayment amounts, but for a bit more certainty in your repayments you might prefer a fixed rate loan. Keep in mind that with a fixed rate loan you won't benefit from the times when the interest rate decreases, like you would with a variable loan.
Upfront fees, such as application or establishment fees, which can be charged when your loan is approved.
Early repayment fees, which can be charged when you make additional repayments or pay out your loan early.
Ongoing administration charges, such as account keeping fees.
Find a loan that helps you save as much as possible on fees. For instance ING doesn't charge early repayment fees or ongoing monthly and annual fees on its Personal Loan. For customers with an existing Orange Everyday transaction account – or who request one as part of their personal loan application as their funds disbursement account – ING will waive its Personal Loan establishment fee.
Whenever you can, consider whether you can pay off your loan early so you may pass less interest overall. Though some banks charge early repayment fees for making additional repayments on their fixed rate personal loans, ING doesn't charge them so there won't be any surprises for paying back early. Note that additional payments made cannot be redrawn.
Above all it's important to make sure you have read and understood the contract your bank gives you so you fully comprehend the terms, fees and interest rate for your loan.
To get the low down on your loan, it's best to get in touch with your bank. Find out more about ING's personal loans and how they can help you reach your goals here.

Millions of public sector workers in France are taking part in a nationwide one-day strike in protest at President Emmanuel Macron's economic reforms.
The action has closed schools and disrupted train services and about a third of flights have been cancelled.
The French government plans to cut 120,000 public sector jobs in France over the next five years.
Last month, thousands of people demonstrated in Paris at Mr Macron's overhaul of France's labour laws.
The nationwide strike on Tuesday, called by all nine of the country's public sector unions, was organised to show solidarity against the job cuts and further plans to freeze pay.
The unions, which represent 5.4 million public workers, said the demonstrations would send a message of their "profound disagreement" with Mr Macron's plans.
Marches have taken place in major cities including Nantes and Lyon, with a procession due to begin in Paris at 14:00 local time (12:00 GMT) from the Place de la République.
Two of France's biggest unions, the CFDT and Force Ouvrière (FO), have given their support to the industrial action.
Laurent Berger, who heads the CFDT, told French news daily Les Echos that the country's public sector was "suffering" from "budgetary constraints".
"The government does not seem to have taken the full measure of the deep malaise among civil servants," he said.
Jean-Claude Mailly, the leader of the FO union, also joined demonstrators as thousands marched in the city of Lyon.
While Mr Mailly did not back last month's protests, his union said that it "fully supports" those taking part in Tuesday's nationwide strikes and "will demonstrate in defence of their rights, their statutes, their purchasing power and their pensions".
Speaking in Lyon on Tuesday, Mr Mailly said that Mr Macron's "strategy of austerity" will end up "calling into question the very existence of public service".
He said he was concerned about the possible transfer of services, such as nurseries and hospitals, to the private sector, adding that further demonstrations were being planned for next month.


The documentary has been touring the world for the last year, sparking uproar amid the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers scandals which implicated heads of state, spurred protests and resulted in the resignation of Iceland's Prime Minister.
On the eve of the film's one-year anniversary, the film's makers have put the self-funded documentary online for free to make it accessible to all.
Director, Michael Oswald, said: 'The Spider's Web has always been a labour of love. I realised this was a story that impacts us all but isn't being told -that must be told.
Based on the bestseller Treasure Islands by the award-winning investigative journalist Nick Shaxson, the documentary follows Britain's transformation from a colonial power into a global financial power.
Obscure financial structures in a web of offshore islands.
Beginning at the demise of empire, the documentary reveals how the City of London's financial interests created a web of offshore secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it behind obscure financial structures in a web of offshore islands.
Today, half of all world trade flows through secrecy jurisdictions. Up to half of those secrecy jurisdictions are under British protection. How did this come about, and what impact does it have on the world today? This is what The Spider's Web sets out to investigate.
The Spider's Web reveals how corruption and secrecy have prevailed over regulation and transparency.
With contributions from whistleblowers, leading experts, academics, former insiders and campaigners for social justice, The Spider's Web reveals how corruption and secrecy have prevailed over regulation and transparency.
'Born in Jersey, I witnessed the island's transformation into an offshore satellite of the City of London.
"I worked undercover for 13 years, going from one of the global Big Four accounting firms to being appointed economic adviser to the government of Jersey.
"Along the way I spoke with hundreds of bankers, lawyers, accountants, officials from the senior Whitehall departments, at the OECD in Paris, and the IMF in Washington, seeing first-hand the downright criminality of the pinstripe infrastructure of professionals who operate from secrecy jurisdictions like Jersey.
The tax documentary The Spider's Web has gained recognition from the Investigative Film Festival Skopje, the Berlin Around International Film Festival, the Manifesto Film Festival and the XV Cine Pobre Film Festival.
The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire is available in English, French, Italian and Spanish.

I'm still soaking it up. because I don't have too many more of these left.
We got comfortable. We thought the game was over.
Luckily we didn't all get on top of him. Just try to save his body for the next game.

Chile Astronomer Gets Front Row Seat to Eclipse
OTTAWA—Canada's tight labor market is forcing many companies to offer regular COVID-19 testing over vaccine mandates, while others are reversing previously announced inoculation requirements.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government adopted one of the strictest inoculation policies in the world for civil servants and has already put more than 1,000 workers on unpaid leave, with thousands more at risk.
Airlines, police forces, school boards, and even Canada's Big Five banks have also pledged strict mandatory vaccine policies. But following through has proven less straightforward, especially as employers grapple with staffing shortages and workers demand exemptions.
Job vacancies in Canada have doubled so far this year, official data shows, and vaccine mandates can make filling those jobs harder, potentially putting upward pressure on wages. That could fuel inflation, already running at a near two-decade high.
"It's already difficult to find staff, let alone putting in a vaccine mandate. You'd cut out potentially another 20 percent" of potential workers, said Dan Kelly, chief executive of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
At Luda Foods, a Montreal-based soup and sauce maker, president Robert Eiser said he has 14 open jobs, no vaccine mandate, and no plans to restrict new hires to the vaccinated.
"I don't know that I want to reduce the (labor) pool, which is already quite low," said Eiser. "We need to attract people to meet the demand. If we don't, our competitors will."
Data released on Friday underpinned Canada's tight labor market, with a hefty 153,700 jobs added in November. It also showed a growing mismatch between available workers and unfilled jobs. And job postings are far above pre-pandemic levels.
Walking Back
The province of Quebec backtracked on a vaccine mandate for healthcare workers last month, saying they could not afford to lose thousands of unvaccinated staff. Ontario, which was also eyeing a mandate, said it would not go ahead.
Toronto-Dominion Bank and Bank of Montreal have both softened their vaccine policy to allow regular testing for workers who missed their Oct. 31 inoculation deadline.
In Canada, 86 percent of adults are fully inoculated, though that drops under 80 percent among 18–40 year-olds. At least 15 cases of the new Omicron variant in Canada have been reported in the past week.
John Cappelli, vice president of onsite managed services in Canada for global recruitment firm Adecco, said half of his clients are mandating vaccines with the other half allowing regular testing for the unvaccinated.
But he expects the Omicron variant will prompt more workplaces to get strict on vaccination, even as they grapple with the tightest job market he's seen in his 25-year career.
"We are now starting to see our first workplace (COVID-19) cases in five months," he said.
The number of Canadian job postings on search website Indeed mentioning vaccine requirements has quadrupled since August.
In the hard-hit manufacturing sector, where 77 percent of firms say their top concern is attracting and retaining workers, vaccine mandates are rarer.
Dennis Darby, CEO of Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, said most of Canada's factories have operated safely throughout the pandemic. While CME encourages vaccination, "some companies are still using rapid testing if somebody doesn't want to get vaccinated," he added.
