From the Northwest of Germany, Broetje -Automation Group has become the world's leading expert in specialised production processes in the aviation and aerospace industry, servicing all major aircraft manufacturers around the world. Since the first major acquisition in 2007, Broetje has relied on transaction advisory services rendered by HLB member firms to support its global expansion.
HLB's approach has involved member firms and lead to direct contacts at local level in a well-coordinated manner. To date, a team of ten professionals located in Bielefeld covers and coordinates the services in the fields of tax compliance, international taxation, transfer pricing, staff secondment, corporate restructuring, M&A and legal services, mainly concerning contractual structuring. It is the intra-disciplinary approach covering accounting, tax advisory and legal services, all coordinated to suit the operative and strategic needs of Broetje-Automation, which manifests the success of the mutual cooperation.
Quote 2: "The strong individual relationships between the responsible client partners in the relevant jurisdictions —Germany, US, UK, Russia, China and Japan— based on years of international cooperation, professional experiences and personal relationships developed at HLB's international conferences, tested in mutual client servicing, allow for this outstanding performance in a world of international players." – Arnold Stange, Partner at HLB Stückmann.
In the UK, Menzies have advised Broetje at the GmbH level and with the set-up of a new UK company. In relation to both entities we have had to coordinate the UK position with HLB Stückmann to ensure that the advice has been understood and consistent in both countries. Throughout this process we have developed closer working relationships and a greater appreciation of the cross-border implications for German companies doing business in the UK. It is this type of strong relationships and the constant sharing of knowledge throughout the HLB network that provides us with the ability to confidently service international clients.
In the US, Withum Smith+Brown assisted Broetje through two major transitions: moving their US headquarters from Omaha, Nebraska to Buffalo, New York, as well as a change in personnel in the finance & accounting department which occurred as part of the move of headquarters. Currently, we assist Broetje USA with their year-end income tax provision, in addition to handling their US tax compliance filings. We work closely with the Broetje team to minimise the tax liability on the myriad of US tax filings. We're also helping with Broetje Automation (Germany) regarding prior-year state income tax filings required despite the German entity not having a Permanent Establishment in the US.
In France, the Broetje project started in the summer of 2011 with negotiations conducted together with HLB Stückmann to acquire a majority take in the capital of a French company located in South France. Since that time, Broetje as well as the HLB team in Germany have regularly contacted us in France for tax, social and legal issues encountered by Broetje. This joint work has strengthened our network and common relationship.
In China, we have worked together with HLB Stückmann to support Broetje's understanding of the taxes incurred in China for their projects, helped with the Chinese company setup in Shanghai and provided continuous accounting service, tax filing and financial reporting service to Broetje Shanghai on whom we performed both statutory and group audit. HLB ThinkBridge has continuously communicated and coordinated with HLB Stückmann on Broetje, with mutual updates on a responsive and regular basis ensuring the success of this project.


These pontoon boat seats make up our Premium PG1780 pontoon furniture set.
Can you cut holes for speakers?
If I order set PG 1780, what would my total cost be shipped to Smithville Tennessee? And how long would it take for me to actually receive it from the time I order?
If you order the Pontoon Boat Seats before 4pm EST they would ship out the same day. We do not charge for shipping for items over $50.00 and no sales tax for customers located outside of Indiana.
If you order these Pontoon Boat Seats before 4pm EST that will ship the same day. It depends where the Pontoon Boat Seats are being sent. The max amount of business days would be 5 which is california anywhere else should be sooner than that.
Unfortunately we don't just sell replacement pontoon seat cushions unless they are used specifically on our bases. If you have our pontoon furniture we can replace the cushions (at no cost to you) but since our seats are built custom for our bases they are not universal and therefore will not fit on anyone else's plastic base. This is a very common question and it is always less expensive to simply replace all your seating rather than try to have new cushions custom-made for your bases.
I have an 05 Harris 24' cruise, do you offer exact replacement seats for the front 2 lounge seats ?
No, we make our own seats. We consider them to be universal and matching the measurements would be the best way to replace seats with us.
These are not designed to be used as toilets.
You will need to purchase our Seat Vinyl. We offer this at the running yard and 54" wide.
Our first pontoon we used (gray/ blue premium seats). This one we were hoping for (gray/red seats), but you don't have them in premium. Can you make (gray/red) in premium?
Unfortunately, no. These Pontoon Boat Seats are mass produced with the color combinations that are listed in the Premium and Classic Lines.


Gathering leads is a sophisticated process, but there are smart ways to do it. We go through some of our lead generation services that get you the best and most qualified leads for your business.
A landing page is generally a simple page made with the goal of marketing in mind. The primary purpose is to either a. sell you something, or b. gather your information to sell you something in the future. This is accomplished by a prominent call to action (in marketing speak, shortened to CTA) that grabs your attention. While other pages on your site are meant to interlink elsewhere, a landing page's primary focus is to get you from point A to point B and not stray too far.
Lead capture: Ever get car insurance quotes online or find a nice house online and fill out a real estate agent's form for more information? These are just a couple example of lead capture on landing pages.
Click-Through: Usually found on eCommerce sites, they tend to have a simple button that's meant to bring you to a page to purchase the product or service that they are offering.
There is no single type of landing page. It simply depends on what you're looking to accomplish with each campaign. We customize each landing page to align with your goals.
Lead magnets provide value (such as something free or discounted) in exchange for customer information such as your name and email address. They allow you to gain rapport with your customer. They may not buy your expensive product this time around, but they've gained value from you, and you'll be in the back of their minds when they are ready to buy something.
So stop thinking like a business – think like a customer. How can you bring more value (and brand trust) in their life?
In its simplest form, email marketing is a way to develop rapport with your potential or current customers and clients. In fact, we do it too! On every blog post, a quick pop-up comes up allowing people to enter their email if they liked the content, so they can subscribe to be in the loop for more.
No one likes receiving a ton of emails every day. You want to nurture your prospective customers and offer them value. Don't annoy your prospects. So less is usually more – Quality over quantity, every time.
What Does Email Marketing Have To Do With Lead GENERATION?
Generating leads isn't always about quickly grabbing someone's contact information or trying to sell them something right away. Some leads prefer to be "courted", like in a relationship. Once you gain their respect and trust, you're in. It's for this reason that you employ multiple layers of lead generation, with proper email marketing being one of them.
205 billion emails are sent every day.

Our team knows how to avoid the quicksand that analytics can easily become. We save you time and guarantee an increased ROI through succinct, actionable reports and objective recommendations.
What are your ideal traffic numbers: from demographic penetration to on-site interaction to click-stream outcomes? And how can we get there?
How long do people stay on your site? What do they look at? When do they leave?
Are unique visitors being funneled toward your site from the right directions?
Although they can sound like tech used to locate missiles in an action flick; heatmaps, scrollmaps and clickmaps are some of the most sure-fire, hottest ways to see where your marketing initiatives are scorching, and where they're cooling down and need a tune-up.
Optimized Interactive Behavior: We help you enhance both the reader experience and drive new visits. Are visitors confused by navigation features? We can tell due to mouse movement patterns and where they click. Are they scrolling right past your call to action? We can found out why and fix the problem.
Key Messaging: Our heatmaps ensure your on-brand messaging is in the right place at the right time, creating the type of major influencers, fans, leads and customers to fully engage with the placement of your messaging.
Calls to Action: Before the internet, shopping malls were filled with market research companies that lassoed random shoppers, sit them down in a room, and ask them a bunch of questions most inspired them to purchase a product. While market research is still a booming industry, we no longer have the need to select strangers to ask which CTA they like best. Through our technology, every browser and buyer illuminates areas that need adjusting.
Process, Evolution and Expertise: Clients seeking outside analytics find that 85 percent of their in-house setups are inefficient in a fundamental way, including campaigns not specific to analytics, like social media interaction and visual redesigns. There are so many moving pieces involved in building and sustaining success, it's easy to look at graphs and take them at face value. We take that guesswork out of the equation. Laser focus ensures all insight is made into an actionable plan.
From an agency perspective; we are peppered with new and intriguing challenges each day. Our visitor funnel analysis may sound like just another marketing term– but its true purpose is innovation, and using the numbers that count to push your brand forward.
It is one of the most enjoyable parts of our job – getting technical, looking at the numbers, and analyzing data in spreadsheets, colorful heatmaps, and other visual data. Other agencies may sweat in their boots. We do it with a smile.


The bunker shot can be accomplished through practice. There are various drills to help improve abilities to get better results when attempting this play on the green. There are aspects of the shot you want to keep in mind when considering drills for practice. The play requires the golfer to get the ball out of the bunker and onto a surface the ball can be played from. From here, the golfer works to get the ball closer to the target. Think about the concept of the bunker play and elements you need to practice most when considering different drills. Here are 4 to get started with.
Hit practice shots from the edge of the bunker. Practice how you should stand and think about your weight and foot position in the sand. In other words, keep weight focused to get ball out of sand. If you have a good position that helps keep weight in line you can focus on giving the right amount of power behind the ball.
Work on getting the club to accelerate better when making the shot from the sand. Try practicing this motion by creating a half backswing when hitting a ball on the tee. Aim to hit the tee instead of the ball. When you make correct contact the ball falls straight down. Practice this a few times to learn tempo, swing motion and overall idea of where to hit the ball. As you get better you will have more insight on how to produce the same result when playing at a bunker. Focus on acceleration and getting your swing speed to be constant.
Learn where your club actually interacts with sand when coming in to hit the ball. Place a piece of paper in the sand and put the ball on top. Assume setup position and swing through. This helps you to hit correctly through the sand and pop the ball out. This drill can be practiced often as many golfers have issues actually getting the ball out of the sand.
Try using different grip and hand positions along with different clubs such as a pitching or sand wedge. Make adjustments as necessary to how the sand comes in contact with the club head. Make practice shots with different grips. Depending on the steepness of the bunker you may need to consider changing your grip for better results.

Heavy Music Headquarters Album Reviews: Week of July 14, 2017
by Heavy Music Headquarters Staff/
This week's reviews include releases from 12 Stones, Dayseeker, Destroyer Of Light, Enfold Darkness, Explusion, Ewigkeit, Integrity, Livid, One Master, Owl Company and Vesicant.
The ratings are on a 5 star scale.
12 Stones – Picture Perfect (Cleopatra)
12 Stones have been around since the early 2000s. Frontman Paul McCoy appeared on Evanescence's huge hit "Bring Me To Life" back in 2003. It has been five years since their latest album. Picture Perfect is their sixth studio effort, with McCoy and guitarist Eric Weaver the lone remaining original members.
Their style is hard rock/post grunge, combining driving guitars with big hooks and radio-friendly melodies. There's a good mix of uptempo rockers, heavier tracks and soaring ballads. There's minimal filler, and a plethora of possible singles. 12 Stones have had success over the years, but they are one of those bands I thought should have been even bigger. This album is a welcome return for an underrated group.
(Chad Bowar)
Spinefarm Records
Dayseeker – Dreaming is Sinking, Waking is Rising (Spinefarm)
Dayseeker have the adventurous hardcore vibe down pat. There is a very hardcore element to these songs with shouted vocals and abrasive riffing. The clean vocals ring of that somewhat cheesy type that plagues the genre often. They are emotional, but their quality is below the standard of bands that incorporate these more seamlessly.
Musically, the band also varies between harsh and quieter segments in fine fashion. The harsh portions have energy and the quiet portions have atmosphere. This album does not have the same potency as something like Eidola's latest release, which is far more interesting in its approach. There are some moments that stand out, but not as much as the ones on that disc. This is good, but I expected greater things.
(Adam McAuley)
Heavy Friends Records
Destroyer Of Light – Chamber Of Horrors (Heavy Friends)
Austin, Texas doomsters Destroyer Of Light have issued a split and EP over the past few years, with Chamber Of Horrors being their second full-length, coming five years after their debut.
The riffs are thick and the atmosphere hazy as they deliver dark slabs of doom. Their tempos are generally glacial, but periodically they speed things up, like on the groovy "Prisoner Of Eternity" with Ozzy-esque vocals and memorable guitar work. Heavy psychedelia yields to mellower moments such as the instrumental "Twilight Procession," giving this trip a variety of moods and vibes.
The Artisan Era
Enfold Darkness – Adversary Omnipotent (The Artisan Era)
Our Cursed Rapture, Enfold Darkness' debut album, was a very impressive effort from the band, which was more of a blackened death metal than what the band have offered in their newest record. Surprisingly, it took nearly eight years for the renewed Enfold Darkness come up with a new album.
Adversary Omnipotent is an hour long record, which is brilliantly improved upon in both songwriting and production. The band has blended the elements of blackened death with technical death metal plus massive tone of melodic guitar works and a strong but controlled use of orchestral sampling to enrich its hyper dynamic atmosphere. Just like the debut, Adversary Omnipotent sounds like the brainchild of Cradle of Filth and The Black Dahlia Murder, but Enfold Darkness now masterfully own the result of this fusion.
(Arash Khosronejad)
Ewigkeit – Cosmic Man (Svart)
British musician James Fogarty is in numerous bands ranging from In The Woods to Jaldaboath to Old Forest to Sollertia. Ewigkeit is his solo project, with Cosmic Man his seventh full-length under that moniker.
It's an eclectic album that explores everything from '70s prog to melodic NWOBHM to psychedelic rock to doom. While there are extreme moments, the vast majority of the album has groove and melody with some experimental sections. The album closes with a cover of the Iron Maiden classic "Two Minutes To Midnight," and while Fogarty doesn't have Dickinson's pipes, he puts his own spin on it, and the arrangement is proggier than the original.
Expulsion – Nightmare Future (Relapse)
With members from Repulsion, Exhumed, and Intronaut involved, Expulsion have enough prestige in its ranks to give their Nightmare Future EP instant credibility. It's a good thing then that this is no half-baked effort, but a true grinding death trip led by musicians with a combined decades' worth of experience in a sort of vile headspace.
This EP is a no-frills ordeal; seven one-to-two minute tracks that's only modern touch is in the clear production values. It's here and gone in record fashion, yet a listener will want to replay it without delay to remain caught in the ruinous sonic cyclone Expulsion have created.
(Dan Marsicano)
Integrity – Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume (Relapse)
For nearly 30 years the influential hardcore/metal band Integrity have been plying their trade. Their intensity has not ebbed and they show no signs of slowing down on their latest album Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume. It's their second release of 2017, after issuing a limited edition vinyl live album.
Their chops are razor sharp, with songs that range from moderate crushers to chaotic rippers. The groovy riffs and memorable melodies are contrasted by the raw, feral vocals of Dwid Hellion. Lyrically they explore the effects of the '80s "Satanic Panic" on the culture. They integrate searing metal guitars with hardcore barks and a punk attitude. It's a combination that will appeal to fans of numerous genres.
Livid – Beneath This Shroud, The Earth Erodes (Prosthetic)
Livid's debut album Beneath This Shroud, The Earth Erodes begins with the instrumental "Descend," a title that isn't just an eye-wink to the listener that this is indeed the start of the album, but the musical equivalent of being lowered into a foreboding sinkhole of unknown creation. There's real fear lying underneath the calm and collected performances.
That calmness dissipates once "Descend" ends, with an unsteady lurch replacing it. The tempos stay consistent almost the entire way through, maintaining the sense of dread while also pushing the boundaries of one's attention span. The band needs at least eight to 10 minutes on average to get their message across, though it's usually delivered far sooner.
Eternal Death Records
One Master – Lycanthropic Burrowing (Eternal Death)
Fifteen years as a group has done little to soften the spiteful spirit of One Master on their fourth full-length, Lycanthropic Burrowing. The vocalist/guitarist known as Valder, who started this project back in the early 00s, has maintained the strength of his cantankerous howls, supported by equally powerful music.
Building off the high mark achieved with 2015's Reclusive Blasphemy, Lycanthropic Burrowing is an appropriate extension of that excellent record. An enraged barrage on "Will of the Shadow" is as compelling as the tense atmosphere on the title track.
Owl Company – Horizon (Onerpm)
Brazil has been a hotbed for extreme metal for decades, but there are plenty of bands hailing from there with a more melodic bent. That's the case with hard rockers Owl Company, with the Sao Paulo band unleashing their debut album Horizon.
The songs are fairly straightforward radio-friendly hard rock with some bluesy influences. What makes Owl Company stand out is vocalist Enrico Minelli. He has a powerful set of pipes that run the gamut from '90s grunge to southern rock to modern metal. Even when the songs aren't that compelling, his performance is.
Iron Bonehead Productions
Vesicant – Shadows of Cleansing Iron (Iron Bonehead)
New Zealand's Vesicant play that barbaric brand of utterly savage raw metal. This is music that dwells in the depths of the kvlt underground longing to burst forth with the same venom as the bomb-blasting cacophony of black metal the band play so vehemently.
Released on Iron Bonehead Productions, their debut album Shadows of Cleansing Iron is a true to form statement of destruction. Each song evokes the harrowing ordeal of those in battle under the dark cloak of death and despair by unleashing swarming buzzsaw guitars that pave way to nightmare and incessant blast beats, which drop like a torrent of grenades. This album is pure devastation, from the doom-laden crawl of "Shadow of Death" to the audial hellfire of "Dismal Oubilette."

I speak to actor Vynni Gagnepain about his character Elephant A. Antibody and the fate of his stunt-double.
Thanks to Mikhail for this wonderful dummy (the one made of styrofoam, not Vynni) and thanks to the weather for cooperating.
In other news, two test screenings of the movie have gone over well and it should be entirely done this week! Plus, I'm done with high school. On to Minneapolis, tropical oasis of the Midwest!
On a more technical note, I've been getting complaints that not all the vodcasts are downloading. I think this is because the free service I was using to host files is giving out. I'll be gradually uploading all the files to my own server. Please be patient, though, I've got dial-up.
Damnit. I'll see what I can do.
I heard that noise, too. It's in nearly every shot, too. How odd. By the way, you should have weighted him down so he sank a little. Real people don't strike the surface of water and then immediately float.
Yeah, that ambient track is just a temp that loops throughout. I'll fix it. As for the dummy, the lack of a big splash doesn't bother me that much. Logistically it would have been nearly impossible to weigh the dummy down more than it was, and frankly if I have to choose between seeing a big splash and seeing the dummy resurface and float downstream, I'd pick the latter anyway.
Well, I'd agree with you, but there really was no "resurfacing" because it never penetrated the surface of the water. On the other hand, I realize that most people won't care, even if they notice. If they do notice, they will add it to the amusement of the whole situation.
Thanks. I thought about roto'-ing in a bigger splash and some submersion, but this is actually a tactical decision. If I'm going to sell a car crash with two pieces of breaking glass later on, this had better not look TOO convincing.
Well, I didn't think it looked that fake. It is breif, so we don't get the chance to criticize it for long, and (if I recall correctly, and I know it is often the case at that bridge) the water is pretty shallow, leaving little room for this sinking.
Well, the day we shot it the water was actually quite high, but that's beside the point.
Not that the audience would know which bridge that was and how deep the water is under it.
Yeah. Totally irrelevant. All I'm saying is that this sets the stage for the suspension of disbelief that I N-E-E-D later on in the movie.
Don't be so contrarian! It was a good excuse until you had to go and question it!

fathersullivan.com: The details of the vision of Isaiah all have meanings.
The details of the vision of Isaiah all have meanings.
We are always thankful when a Bible account lets us know the exact time that it occurred. That is the case here with Isaiah receiving his call in the year King Uzziah died, that we know to have been in 742 B.C..
With Biblical visions such as this one with which Isaiah was treated, the details of the vision, instead of being exact replicas of reality, are made to suit the preconceptions of the one receiving the vision. Here, Isaiah saw God in a heavenly temple because the Israelites believed Jerusalem's temple, in all its dimensions, to be a replica of God's temple in heaven.
Ancient peoples all believed that if they gazed on God that they would die immediately. Perhaps that belief can be traced to people worshipping the sun.
Biblical people thought of a prophet as one who gave his mouth to God. God called Jeremiah by touching his mouth. He called Ezekiel by feeding him on a scroll of is words. In today's reading, he called Isaiah by searing his mouth with a hot coal.

A Strategy For Trump: Escape The Washington Bubble, Tout His Agenda, Pressure Congress
By Bill Whalen
Years ago, the political strategist Dick Morris liked to suggest that America's chief executive suffered from a split personality - a "Saturday night Bill Clinton" who lacked good moral judgment; a more pious "Sunday morning President Clinton" who was a devoted public servant.
This is one way to ponder the Trump presidency.
"Sunday Trump" is an orgy of panel shows dedicated to the controversy du jour - this weekend, Trump alleging that his predecessor ordered wiretaps for Trump Tower.
"Monday Trump", on the other hand, is all about pushing the agenda. This week, that includes unveiling a new travel ban and perhaps more details on the House GOP's Obamacare alternative.
The Sunday talkers would have you believe that the Sunday scandals outweigh the Monday activities. That's foolish. Trump can still advance his agenda despite the president's random tweeting or the opposition party throwing marbles in his path.
But how does Trump go about turning ideas into law?
One school of thought: as he's never governed, leave the driving to a pair of experienced Washington hands: House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Yes, Ryan's studied tax reform seemingly forever (actually, he was elected to the House in 1998). And, yes, McConnell does run a tight ship.
But for Trump, trusting the GOP Congress to take care of business isn't a wise choice for at least two reasons: (1) there's no guarantee that the Republican majority, generally prone to process and infighting, can settle its differences in an orderly fashion; (2) not being more hands-on with Congress, with regard to issues he supposedly desired (gun control, climate change), was a common complaint about the Obama presidency.
How then for Trump to proceed?
Last week's schedule was a good start. Two days following his successful joint address to Congress, Trump ventured to the Newport News shipyard in Tidewater Virginia and the Navy's next aircraft carrier to tout increased defense spending.
A day later, the President was in Orlando to talk education alternatives at a faith-based K-5 school.
Why are these good uses of Trump's time?
They're good photo-ops - listening to real people's real concerns. Besides, there's political value. Virginia has a gubernatorial race this fall; Orlando is part of the I-4 corridor that's crucial to presidential success in the Sunshine State.
My suggestion for Trump: spend more time on the road touting the agenda (Obamacare replacement, taxes, Judge Gorsuch), but do so even more strategically.
Where I'd start: the 23 congressional districts that elected a Republican member last fall, but also favored Hillary Clinton over Trump (according to congressional-level presidential results calculated by Daily Kos Elections, Trump carried 230 congressional districts to Clinton's 205).
Yes, there are 12 House districts scattered across America that split their ticket between Trump and a Democratic congressional candidate, but for now the drill is maxing out on cooperative House Republicans so as to get agenda items through the chamber on muscular, party-line votes if need be.
And reminding those members: their fate, in the coming midterm election, is tied to Trump's.
What would Trump's travel schedule look like? There's Virginia's 10th Congressional District, just across the Potomac River from the White House, which makes for a quick trip.
If Trump wants to relive last November, he can journey to Pennsylvania's 6th and 7th Congressional Districts, which are just outside of Philadelphia.
Trump could add a southwestern swing beginning in Dallas and Texas' 32rd Congressional District, then south to an upscale pocket of Houston (Texas' 7th Congressional District), continuing west to a predominately Hispanic corner of the state (Texas' 23rd Congressional District), before finishing in Arizona's 2nd Congressional District (who better to host a defense event than Rep. Martha McSally, a retired Air Force pilot?).
Collectively, they're seven congressional districts that voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 but not Trump in 2016. Democrats, given their bleak chances of retaking the Senate anytime soon, will target these districts in 2018.
But Trump shouldn't limit his sights to the House. The Senate should also be targeted, though here the goal would be more symbolic than helping House members facing a tough re-elects.
The two states I'd target: Kentucky and Maine.
Why Kentucky? Because it's home to Sen. Rand Paul, who's dismissed the House Obamacare repeal effort as "Obamacare light".
Let's assume Speaker Ryan would appreciate the gesture of the President gently chastising Paul, an ophthalmologist who clearly sees opportunity in dumping on the House plan. Besides, it might appeal to Trump's counter-punching nature (Trump not only outlasted Paul in the GOP primaries, but received about 130,000 more votes statewide than Paul in their respective races last fall).
As for Maine, it's home to Bath Iron Works and naval shipbuilding (last fall, Bath lost out on an $11 billion U.S. Coast Guard contract).
In theory, a Trump defense build-up would travel through Maine - 16 of the additional ships in a beefed-up Navy would be cruisers or guided-missile cruisers ("large surface combatants") that are built at Bath or the Ingalls yard down in Mississippi.
Maine's also home to Sen. Susan Collins, who's potentially a moderate thorn in the GOP Senate's side (she introduced Attorney General Jeff Session at his conformation hearing, but voted against EPA Director Scott Pruitt). And she's up for re-election in 2018. If Trump flounders, Collins is in trouble in a state that Clinton carried by nearly 3% last fall.
Sending messages is part of what a president does. And in this Congress, it might be an effective strategy.
The average length of service for U.S. Representatives at the beginning of the 115th Congress was 9.4 years; for senators, 10.1 years. In the 111th Congress, House service averaged 10.3 years in the House vs. 13.4 years in Senate.
Trump could wager on well-established congressmen to deliver his agenda. Then again, 116 House members and 21 senators have no more than two years' experience.
Trust Congress to do what's best for American business? Only 179 House members and 29 senators have a business background (50 senators are lawyers).
Trust Congress to lead the way on healthcare? There are all of three physicians in the Senate and 11 doctors in the House (not counting the four dentists, three veterinarians and one pharmacist).
Trust Congress to understand defense needs? Only 102 members in this current Congress have military experience (82 House, 20 Senate. Back in 1981, when Ronald Reagan undertook his military buildup, nearly two-thirds (64%) of the 97th Congress had served.
Trust Congress to know what's best with regard to infrastructure? There are only eight engineers on Capitol Hill, seven of them in the House.
What's a new president left to do? Try praying. Then again, there are only eight ordained ministers in Congress - all in the House.
Small wonder that life beyond Washington might seem attractive to Trump at this point.
Bill Whalen is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, where he studies and writes on current events and political trends. In citing Whalen as one of its "top-ten" political reporters, The 1992 Media Guide said of his work: "The New York Times could trade six of its political writers for Whalen and still get a bargain." During those years, Whalen also appeared frequently on C-SPAN, National Public Radio, and CNBC.

Today, February 14, marks the start of Lent.
It's the first time since 1945 the symbolic Christian event has fallen on the same date as Valentine's Day.
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the 40-day period of fasting before Easter. The tradition points back to when Jesus Christ fasted for 40 days, as written in the book of Matthew in the Holy Bible.
This year, Lent ends March 29.

Most of the homeowners in united states are need instant solutions to deal with the pigeon problem in their premises. Earlier, these birds were observed to live in the rural areas where the population of humans was found quite low, but within past few years, they are more attracted towards urban lifestyle. Today, you can easily find them making nests in the residential areas. There is no doubt to say that having pigeons at attics, farm buildings, barns, and livestock buildings can be big trouble. These birds cause unsanitary conditions all around, and they can also contaminate sources of water with their disease containing feces and urine. That is why it is always advised to avoid drinking water from common sources in the pigeon affected areas.
If your landscape, yard and garden stay full of attractive foodstuff and you have a bad habit of keeping overloaded trash cans; the chances are that pigeons will get attracted to spend more time in your property. It is well proven that when pigeons find all favorable conditions around them, they prefer to build a nest and roost with their babies on the premises. So, their target can be your habitat as well. The biggest problem is pigeons is that they not only target food sources in your premises but at the same time, they also start causing a huge mess in the area with their waste.
The most terrible thing to know about pigeons is that these creatures can invade poultry and livestock within very less time. And they are also capable enough to transmit various diseases to the animals, birds, and humans around. Moreover, it is hard to get rid of pigeons once they create nests in your premises. They even prefer to return again and again, and due to fast reproduction abilities, they multiply by a large extent within very less time. Hence, it is important to take immediate steps to ensure the safety of your property and family members.
Experts say that pigeons mostly prefer to build comfortable nests in the attic and roof area of the house as here they can breed without any disturbance from the external world. In these hidden areas of the house, their babies also feel free from predators. If you are already suffering from troubles caused by pigeons the best way to get rid of them is by using one-way exclusion funnels. Note that, these funnels are something like non-lethal traps and they do not cause any harm or injury to the bird. The best news for busy homeowners is that these exclusion funnels are easily available at low cost in the local stores. They can be installed easily at different affected areas of the house or whereas pigeons have build nests such as attic, deck, patios, and garden as well. Prefer to mark all the entry and exit points first and then set these traps in the area. Once the bird moves out of the premises, then seal the common entry points to avoid future attacks.
No current news article at this time. If you need Jackson Township raccoon removal, rat trapping, squirrel removal, or have any questions about a wildlife problem in Jackson Township, please give Wild Boys Wildlife Removal a call at 732-606-4077, and we will listen to your problem, give you a price quote, and schedule an appointment, usually same day or next day, to solve the problem.

For six hours, Broward County blocked entry of two GOP recount reps
by Brian Burgess | Nov 11, 2018
As elections sites across Florida began machine recounts of millions of ballots Sunday morning, Broward County did so without at least two Republican observers authorized to enter the building by the Matt Caldwell campaign. Caldwell is the Republican nominee for Agriculture Commissioner. On election night, with only three Broward County precincts not reporting vote totals, he led Democrat Nikki Fried by 40,000 votes. Those outstanding precincts contained less than 33,000 registered voters. More than 80,000 ballots were added by Broward County after Election Day.
Republican state committeewoman Michele Merrell and Collin Thompson say they waited patiently outside the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office for several hours trying to gain access as observers for Caldwell, who now trails Fried by just 5,326 votes. Merrell says she and Thompson managed to gain entry to an outer area several times but were repeatedly turned away by SOE staffers who offered a range of reasons for why they couldn't be let in.
On her fourth try, Merrell says she passed through three security checkpoints before another Broward SOE staffer stopped her and ordered her out of the building based on his belief that she was a "paid political protester" who had arrived from out of town at the behest of President Trump.
Merrell lives and votes in Broward County.
Fred Bellis, Operations Supervisor for Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes, says he was unaware of the issue until he learned about it from The Capitolist and said he would work to rectify the problem.
But after having been on site since 9 a.m. trying to gain access, Merrell says she had a 4pm appointment and needed to be elsewhere on Sunday evening.
"It's just ridiculous that I am being unfairly punished for being a Republican. I witnessed first hand Democrats walk into the Broward SOE with unfettered access, yet I wasn't able to," Merrell said. "I followed the rules and procedures. I was polite and respectful. I was on the pre-approved list from the State SOE to be in there, and yet Brenda Snipes gets to play by her own rules. This is not how a democracy is supposed to work."
At around 3:40pm, Thompson says he made contact with Bellis, who made arrangements for him him into the building.

This IS disgraceful. We the people of FL are tired of the consistent deceit by the Democrats. Forget recounting. Once any level of deceit is found by the Democrats their candidate should automatically lose the election
Randall Tuura on November 11, 2018 at 6:09 pm
I like that. Commit fraud and you lose the election. Simple. If only it could be that simple. We're dealing with Democrats here.
Carl on November 11, 2018 at 6:44 pm
Yes, and they should all go to jail. (Actually, I'd prefer to see them hanged, but, unf, that is unlikely to happen when they are allowed to get away with this bullshit for days without even being arrested.)

***** Proof Of Republican Stupidity *****
Democrats Did It Before so any Republican, especially a Conservative one, should know that Democrats would do what they are doing now and should have prepared!
There is very little difference between the Democrat attitude about Republicans and Yasser Arafat and Israel; Elimination and Eradication.

Mary : I agree with you 100 %.
The title of your website, "Capitolist" is misspelled. No such word. It's "Capitalist" – with an A.
Lori Williams on November 11, 2018 at 6:36 pm
Perhaps CapitOlist refers to the capitol. Not capital. Probably best not to try your hand at being a spelling Nazi.
Anonymous on November 11, 2018 at 8:38 pm
Where the hell is our law enforcement?
What are we doing with this pallets of Ballots in a truck from Broward County ?
Why they were not turn in on time ?
Is this another democratic plan to take over our elections in Florida….?
Bill Nelson and his democratic party must follow the rules of the state of Florida. He is been our senator for to long is time for a change.!
Linda Smethwick on November 11, 2018 at 9:43 pm
If they were not letting republicans in to help count the votes you can bet they were cheating again. Where were the police, & why was there no one from the Republican Party trying to get the republicans in t help count the votes? Why didn't the governor disqualify Snipes as she has been caught cheating for years. Looks like the Republican Party gets more spineless every day.
Diana L Taub on November 12, 2018 at 12:48 am
There are Republicans inside to watch the recount, which is the ballots going through the machines. There are reps from RNC and attorneys for each candidate in the room. The meetings are actually suppose to be public so if there is not enough room for observers they should have a screen outside and/or put it on a public television station. If there is a list of approved re count observers then that should be published to the public as well. It is true that on Friday, November 9th there were Republican attorneys but no local Republican Party leaders. Democrat attorneys were also there along with Cynthia Bush, Dem Chair and Mitch Cesar, past Chair as well as a few other people that worked in their offices. Dale Holiness was there wearing his Gillum shirt until I alerted them to the fact that I had to turn my Rick Scott shirt inside out. He was then asked to do the same.
Tom on November 11, 2018 at 10:57 pm
Reeks of something other than dead fish and algae. Not totally sure of what except that total desperation is at work here with the recount. A likely conspiracy was not essential for its commencement, but slights of hands in a coincidental manner. An obvious yet obscure act of desperation no doubt.
Lou J on November 12, 2018 at 12:53 am
I think they should have used armed guards to storm her office to secure the ballots until a true secure visible plan existed.
PEGGY on November 12, 2018 at 2:00 am
Total disgrace.
Supervisor of election should have not have been
There period for the recount because of her track record.
Check her bank record, follow the money to
Find the person that is behind this mess.
Joseph Blosch on November 12, 2018 at 10:20 am
The Democrats are openly stealing the election. They are pure scum.
Robert on November 12, 2018 at 8:21 pm
The Demo RATS are trying these systems so they know what to prepare for 2020 election. These RATS will do what they find works best. This system worked in Arizona for them. Finding magical ballots seems to,be there best way.

Files: FBI was watching Stalin's daughter in Wis.
Peters died last year
Posted: November 19, 2012 7:06 PM
MADISON, Wis. — Newly declassified documents show the FBI kept close tabs on Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's only daughter after her high profile defection to the United States in 1967.
The documents show the agency was gathering details from informants on how Lana Peters' arrival was affecting international relations at that time. She was known as Svetlana Alliluyeva before her defection.
The files were released Monday to The Associated Press under a Freedom of Information Act request.
Peters died last year, aged 85, in a Wisconsin nursing home.
The FBI's file mainly contains memos and news articles from the late 1960s. One 1967 memo details a conversation with a confidential source who said Peters' defection would have a "profound effect" on anyone else considering such a move from the Soviet bloc.

A: The white line can appear at various zoom levels depending on how the system is mapping CSS pixels to screen pixels (there being several screen pixels to a CSS pixel on many higher def screens nowadays).
It's a bit like a rounding error, a screen pixel can get 'left behind' in the calculations.
As your thumb and your border are the same color here's a slightly unpleasant hack, but it overcomes the problem visually.
This snippet makes the height of the thumb equal to the height of the input element plus its top and bottom borders - this gives the system lots of wiggle room when it's dropping or including a screen pixel and the user won't see bits of white.

Upon marrying in 1923, Hawkins and his wife Irene Villiers left to live in France, Italy and Spain. They returned briefly to England, then moved to Malta in 1927 for three and a half years, where this print was made. It was also in Malta from about 1927 that Hawkins began to use the nom de plume 'Raokin', derived from the mispronunciation of his name there.
'The two minutes silence' is printed on very fine tissue, and is signed and inscribed on both sides, suggesting that the artist intended it to be viewed from both sides. His experiences of the First World War had left him a committed pacifist, vocally opposed to war.
Signed l.r. recto and verso, pencil "H Weaver Hawkins". Not dated.


(HealthDay News) – About half of women who experience a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and late-preterm delivery develop a hypertensive disorder in a subsequent pregnancy, although few have delivery before 37 weeks in the subsequent pregnancy, according to a study published in the June issue of BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology.
Miriam F. van Oostwaard, MD, of the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 351 women with a hypertensive disorder during an index pregnancy, who delivered between 34 and 37 weeks of gestation. Data were extracted from medical files to assess the recurrence risk of late-preterm hypertensive disease of pregnancy. One hundred eighty-nine of the women had a subsequent pregnancy.
The researchers found that 51% of women experienced a recurrence of a hypertensive disorder during a subsequent pregnancy, and delivery before 37 weeks occurred in 9% of these women. Significant predictors of recurrence included chronic hypertension and maternal age. Women who experienced a recurrence of their hypertensive disorder during a subsequent pregnancy were almost nine times more likely to develop chronic hypertension (37% vs. 6%; odds ratio, 8.7).

With $1.3M In New Funding, CodeGuard Launches Its Free Website Backup, Monitoring Service
At TechCrunch Disrupt NYC last May, the unanimous winner of the "Audience Choice" award was a young, Atlanta-based startup called CodeGuard. The startup caught the audience's attention based on a simple value proposition: To become a "time machine for your website." In other words, CodeGuard's free service allows any site owner to back up their website and revert to earlier versions, while monitoring for infections.
After months of tweaking and beta testing, today CodeGuard is officially pulling back the curtain on a new-and-improved service, backed by a fresh $1.3 million in funding from Imlay Investments and a host of angel investors, including Palaniswamy Rajan, Bert Ellis, Tom Noonan, Matt Chanoff, and Merrick Furst.
The new funding adds to the $500K the startup raised back in June of last year from Imlay and others. All of CodeGuard's seed investors have returned to re-up their investments and give the startup the fuel it needs to expand — now just under $2 million total.
While there are a number of companies that provide disaster recovery and data backup, what differentiates CodeGuard from the rest, says co-founder David Moeller, is that it utilizes differential backup. What does that mean? As opposed to solely storing just a snapshot of a website's source code and database, CodeGuard compares the current version with prior versions and only stores the differences.
This minimizes the space needed for backups and, in turn, gives the startup insight into all the changes in a website's code and database. After launching its public beta at Disrupt last May, CodeGuard has since upgraded its backend infrastructure to Amazon EC2 and S3 to enable scaling and to provide near-total redundancy.
The startup is also today officially launching a complete redesign of its user interface, which means, among other things, an update to its "Time Machine" feature. The majority of the UI updates are visual in nature, giving those site owners who may not have a computer science degree a visual glimpse into their website's operations, rather than lines of text (as in the previous version of CodeGuard). Now, site owners can simply log-in to CodeGuard's free dashboard and sort through prior versions of their website visually, choosing from particular versions of files that they want to restore — or restoring the whole site to a previous version.
Previously, CodeGuard had simply downloaded a zip file of the contents of a website and presented its Time Machine in text-form, but now users can take advantage of a visual representation of their file mix, watching as their development support works on the site, etc.
The startup also released a cPanel plugin so that hosting providers can allow their users to create accounts with a few clicks from a hosting provider control panel, which now complements a WordPress plugin with similar functionality.
In the big picture, CodeGuard wants to provide backup for life for websites of all stripes, from the big players to the mom and pop shops and millions of bloggers out there using WordPress. Of course, users want things to be easy, but when it comes to backup and monitoring, there are a lot of different use cases, and configurations change from provider to provider. WordPress itself has a laundry list.
So, CodeGuard has struck strategic partnerships with hosting and web service providers like Parallels, CloudFlare, A Small Orange, HostDime, HostMySite, WebHostingBuzz and NameCheap, and now offers integration options via cPanel, Plesk, and WordPress, as well as FTP/SFTP, MySQL and WordPress backup and restore. And that's really one of the coolest parts of CodeGuard's technology — it performs platform-agnostic, non-intrusive change monitoring and differential backup, whether tunneling over SSH or using near-ubiquitous but dated protocols like FTP.
In terms of cost, CodeGuard offers a pay-as-you-go service, which is free until users hit the 2GB limit, at which point they can upgrade to a yearly rate of $10/month. For $25, users can access all their backups for 72 hours.
Moeller says that the key here, though, is that CodeGuard isn't doing the typical bait-and-switch that's become rampant among backup solutions. The goal, he says, is to keep backups and snapshots as small as possible so that users never get to that 2GB limit.
The other important differentiating point for CodeGuard is an element of customer service. That is to say that many solutions give site owners the tools and just leave them be. In contrast, when CodeGuard, say, opens up a site's servers and checks to see what's been modified or deleted, it automatically alerts users if they find any changes. That way users know that their backup solution is working — based on the fact that the startup actually notifies them with each change.
With its new infusion of capital, Moeller says, CodeGuard has been ramping up its team and integrating its technology with hosting providers all over the country. In the last two weeks, its observed 20 million changes to files, and its new system has been designed with scale in mind, to be able to handle an exponential load. The startup hopes to begin offering Tumblr backup in next quarter, along with support for a number of other content management systems.

Imagine if a Republican official anywhere in America said something like "if you're pro-choice, pro-gun control and pro-gay marriage, then you have no place in my state."
Imagine if another Republican official anywhere in America said something like ""Let's not get crazy about this diversity idea," when jokingly responding to the possibility of hiring Democrats.
There would be a media blitz, right? Imagine if it happened in the same state - even more so, right?
But if a NY Democrat would say the same thing... insert crickets chirping.
Welcome to the newer, blue-er New York. Where a Democrat can say just about anything and not be held accountable -- and Republicans let them.
Earlier this year, Mayor Bill Di Blasio quipped the "diversity" quote word-for-word when asked if he would extend any offers in his administration to a Republican.
You would think every Republican leader would be jumping up and down in defense of their views and values.
So where are they? I leave it up to you to answer that.

Mar Mema – 2 September
Mar Mema was a great martyr born in the third century to noble roman parents, who professed their Christian faith openly. They were both arrested and locked in prison in Caesarea in Cappadocia. Both his parents Theodotus and Rufina died in prison, rufina died after giving birth to Mema prematurely.
A Christian widow named Ammia raised mema in the Christian faith. Mema was an ordinary teenage boy who had an education. He was confident in his faith and through discussions and living through example, he converted many of his peers.
The governor at the time had learnt of Mema and the way he was converting many to Christianity and had him arrested. He was then sent to the Emperor Aurelian, who tried to convert Mema to the pagan faith. Mema refused and pointed out that the errors of the pagan's faith. This made the emperor mad and and he sent Mema to be tortured. After many trials, he was struck in the stomach by a trident and died a martyr at the age of 15. Mar Mema is the patron saint of Shepherds and nurses.
Mar Mema is a great example to young people in today's society. With immense pressure for teenagers to follow the crowd and give in to peer pressure, Mema is a great role model for young people to take courage and be them selves. Stand out of the crowd and don't be afraid to be yourself, proclaim your faith and what you believe in, even if you may be ridiculed or thought to be different.
Mar Mema's church in Ehden, Lebanon is the oldest Maronite church (in Lebanon) built in 749 CE. The church was built on the remains of a Byzantine Church from the sixth century and has ancient inscription writings in Greek and Syriac.

Learn from a panel of your peers how they use intentional rotational grazing —systems that aim to protect soil and water resources by rotating grazing sheep through fenced-in sections of pasture. Also called management intensive grazing, this system requires that the producer track where and when they move the flock, divide larger pastures into smaller paddocks, and installation of water lines or livestock watering facilities. Learn how to maintain perennial grass & clover pastures using overseeding, no-till practices, soil testing and nutrient budgeting.

BARBARA LEE: SPEAKING TRUTH to POWER
California's 13th District representative to congress is rightfully feeling vindicated about now with all the issues swirling around the United States stand on Afghanistan. This is because in 2001 she was the lone congress member to vote against going into war there. This aspect of her career also makes the release of documentary about her career all the more timely. Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth to Power is an intimate portrait of the strong and inspiring politician who has represented her district, that includes Oakland and Berkeley, since 1998. The film presents her long and impressive tenure as an outspoken advocate for racial and economic justice, and one who is willing to take on unpopular, possibly career-ending stands such as opposing the war, post the 9-11 attacks. To confirm her political impact, the film includes appearances and talking points from Representative John Lewis, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Corey Booker, and CNN commentator Van Jones. They effectively drive home the point of Ms. Lee's impact in the Black community, among all her constituents, and within the often volatile halls of congress.
As the highest ranking African-American woman in congress, with such a unique and stalwart reputation, it is not surprising that Ms. Lee would be the topic of a documentary, and done so by director Abby Ginzberg (And Then They Came, Soft Vengeance) who has a portfolio of documentaries focusing on politics and agents of change. That said, while Lee makes an understandable subject of interest, the actual film presentation does not rise above a charming portrayal. And that may be enough … for certain audiences and definitely to justify its creation. For those looking for something more politically charged, complex and engaging, this may be too tepid, but as a legitimate way for general audiences beyond the Bay Area to become more aware of Lee, her crusades, and what will be her legacy, Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth to Power should definitely be in your cue.
Director: Abby Ginzberg
Stars: Barbara Lee, Corey Booker, Van Jones

Kansas lawmakers: $510,000 payment to Gray-Little could jeopardize funding requests
Peter Hancock
In this file photo from May 31, 2017, University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, center, meets with Sens. Jim Denning, left, and Vicki Schmidt, right, before being honored with a resolution by the Kansas Senate at the Statehouse in Topeka. KU's director of state relations, Kelly Reynolds, second from right, was also present for the occasion.
Topeka ? Kansas lawmakers expressed surprise and disappointment Wednesday after learning that former University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little continues to be paid more than $500,000 this year to serve as a "special advisor" to the university after she stepped down last year.
"What it strikes me as is disappointing," House Minority Leader Jim Ward, D-Wichita, said after learning of the payment, which is equal to what Gray-Little made during her last year as chancellor. "Tuition rates have been going up in this state, at KU particularly, and this kind of expenditure of money just is disappointing."
• After stepping down, former KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little still receiving more than $500,000 per year salary in 'special advisor' role
House Majority Leader Don Hineman, R-Dighton, however, said he was not necessarily surprised by the deal.
"Severance packages are common in private industry. I suspect they're fairly common in academia as well," he said. "The Regents are the ones who have the decision-making power over that, and if they felt it was appropriate, I'm willing to abide by their decision."
According to KU officials, the employment agreement was approved last year by the Kansas Board of Regents as Gray-Little was preparing to step down. It calls for her to be paid $510,041 to serve as a "special advisor" during the current fiscal year, mainly to assist in the transition to a new administration. It is not clear what, exactly, Gray-Little is doing in the adviser role. The Journal-World has requested a copy of the employment agreement.
Funding for Gray-Little's new role is split about evenly between public and private funds, KU said.
Blake Flanders, president and CEO of the Board of Regents, was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.
Many legislative leaders, as well as members of the House and Senate budget committees, were in the Statehouse Wednesday to begin work on crafting final adjustments to state agency budgets for the rest of this fiscal year and the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.
For the Board of Regents, which governs higher education in Kansas, the No. 1 budget priority this year has been full restoration of the cuts that then-Gov. Sam Brownback ordered for colleges and universities in the last fiscal year, or about $24 million.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee is considering a proposal to restore about 75 percent of that, or about $18 million.
But a number of lawmakers said Wednesday that the additional payment to Gray-Little, more than $42,000 a month, undercuts the argument, at least as far as KU is concerned, that universities are being underfunded.
"I would say it certainly doesn't strengthen that argument very well, now does it?" Rep. Bill Sutton, R-Gardner, a leading conservative on the House Appropriations Committee, said in an interview. "It's certainly not supporting evidence."
Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, who is associate director of the Dole Institute of Politics at KU, said she couldn't predict the political fallout without knowing more details about the arrangement.
"I think people are going to think what they want to think about that," she said in an interview. "I think maybe the question might be what is she providing to the university?"
Hineman also said he couldn't predict whether Gray-Little's severance package would jeopardize the Regents' request for more funding.
"Someone could make that case," he said. "Someone could also make the case that this is about their prestige within the academic community nationwide and their ability to attract the best talent for a chancellor in the future, that it was important for them to do this. I can see that argument as well. So there are two sides to it."
Ward, however, said he thinks the severance package could make it harder to get restoration of the cuts through the Legislature this year.
"It certainly does give those folks who aren't in favor of higher education and tend to fight against it more ammunition," he said.


This proverb is not antithetical, rather the two beats are complementary. To trouble is to stir up or unsettle, like the stirring of a liquid that keeps the solids from settling to the bottom. Elsewhere, Solomon identifies the greedy man as a troubler of his own house (Proverbs 15:27). The exact trouble here is not mentioned, so we take it as various forms of mismanagement of the household. To inherit here is to acquire or gain as a possession. The wind represents that that cannot be possessed (Ecclesiastes 5:16). The second line gives the destiny of such a fool. He will end up serving one who is a wiser manager.

The University of Texas at Austin Center for Health (CHC) is proud to announce the launch of a new 2-year theme: Mental Health and Health Communication. The theme will begin in Fall 2018 and run throughout the 2018-19 and 2019-2020 academic years.
The 2017-18 academic year saw the CHC bring on five new team members and take on a range of new projects with partners across campus and the state. Center director Mike Mackert could not be more proud of what the CHC accomplished in the last year, and the CHC is looking forward to more exciting things ahead.
We're excited to share the official press release for our current project tackling the opioid epidemic. The goal is to develop and test effective messaging with health care providers and prescribers across the state to promote the new Texas Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP).
A hand surgeon and a communication expert may be an unlikely duo in many research settings. But this unlikely pair is a prime example of how the Center for Health Communication's CHER grant program is achieving its goal of interdisciplinary partnerships to improve health and care through empathy and other evidence-based communication sciences.
Clinical trials sound uncertain and maybe even dangerous, but in reality, they could be instrumental in saving the lives of many who would not ordinarily be able to afford such treatments. But how do we most effectively describe the relative risks and benefits of clinical trials to understandably uncertain patients?
Though many of us may consider lead poisoning a problem of the '50's, according to recent studies, it remains an important public health issue.
The business of medicine is fast-paced and grueling. We've all been there, waiting in a doctor's office for nearly an hour, all for a ten-minute appointment. The doctor comes in and gives a quick analysis, followed by a rushed monologue about treatment options or whatever it may be. A shaking of hands, a signing of papers, and soon you're walking out with a feeling similar to leaving a theater after a particularly intense Marvel film.
We are excited to announce that Dasha Rakasovic has accepted the Sr. Graphic Designer position, effective July 5.
We are excited to announce that Hayley Fick has accepted the Project Coordinator position for the CHC's MD Anderson Healthy Communities work, effective June 15.

One look into the office of Dr. Lori Holleran Steiker is enough to express the dedication she has for her life's work in adolescent substance abuse disorders. Boxes filled with supplies for the Operation Naloxone Expansion are stacked to the ceiling, and she excitedly tears one open to show off sturdy, zippered bank bags containing life-saving Naloxone kits.
We are excited to announce that Lindsay Murphy has accepted the Center Administrator position with the CHC, effective February 26.
Senior Administrative Associate Position Available!
The Center for Health Communication (CHC) at the University of Texas at Austin is seeking applicants to fill a Senior Administrative Associate position, beginning immediately.

The CHC is excited to announce that Susan Kirtz has accepted a new Director of Special Projects position with the CHC, effective November 6.

The CHC is excited to announce that Kendra Beasley Lewellyn has accepted a new Sr. Graphic Designer position with the CHC, effective November 6. Kendra will be essential to designing and presenting visual concepts for the CHC's recently acquired Texas Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) contract.

Open to new ideas. Empathetic. Adaptable. Consistent. Entrepreneurial.
These are all essential qualities of health communication leaders, according to participants at the 2017 Health Communication Leadership Institute (HCLI). On the first day of the three-day conference, attendees from every sector of public health, healthcare, communication, and marketing set the tone for what the next few days of training, teamwork, and reflection would be like by offering what they believed to be characteristics of effective health communication leaders. Speakers from campus and beyond offered a variety of perspectives that weaved in these concepts, with room to apply learnings to each individual's respective professional goals.

"Effective Communication is Key to Getting People Healthier"
One might think that new technology or simply increasing access to care could be the answer to creating the most healthful society possible. However, Dr. David Ring, MD, PhD, and Associate Dean for Comprehensive Care here at UT says the conversation at the Dell Medical School is actually about getting people healthier more resourcefully.

"Change the Culture, Build Resilience"
People choose medicine because they want to help. It takes hard work, intelligence and altruism to become a doctor. Helping others in a time of need is fulfilling. It might be argued that there is no higher form of meaning and purpose than helping others get and stay healthy. So it's sad that an average of 45% of doctors report experiencing limited joy in their practice. In some specialties such as Emergency Medicine the rate is close to 70%.

Kerry Slams Bush Over Missing Iraq Explosives
author: afp
Monday, October 25, 2004 DOVER, New Hampshire - Democratic hopeful John Kerry Monday branded President George W. Bush's administration arrogant, blind, incompetent and guilty of "great blunders" after the disappearance of 380 tonnes of high explosives in Iraq.
Kerry pounced on reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency that the explosives that could be used in conventional or nuclear bombs had disappeared, as proof Bush had failed as US commander in chief.
"George W. Bush, who talks tough, talks tough, and brags about making America safer has once again failed to deliver," Kerry said.
"After being warned about the danger of major stockpiles of explosives in Iraq this president failed to guard those stockpiles.
"Terrorists could use this material to kill our troops, our people, blow up airplanes and level buildings," Kerry said.
"Now we know our country and our troops are less safe because this president failed to do the basics, this is one of the great blunders of Iraq one of the great blunders of this administration.
"The incredible incompetence of this president and this administration has put our troops at risk and our country at greater risk than we ought to be."
"The unbelievable blindness, stubbornness, arrogance of this administration to do the basics has now allowed this President to once again fail the test of being Commander in Chief.
Nearly 400 tons of powerful explosives that could be used in conventional or nuclear missiles disappeared from an unguarded military installation in Iraq, the IAEA said Monday.
The Iraqi ministry of science and technology informed the IAEA of the disappearance of nearly 380 tons of mainly HMX and RDX explosive materiel on October 10, agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming told AFP, confirming a report in The New York Times.
"It can be used in a nuclear explosion device, for the explosion," she said, adding: "That's why it was under IAEA verification and monitoring" before the March 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.
The New York Times said the materiel "could produce bombs strong enough to shatter airplanes or tear apart buildings."

Whisper in his ear and the echo ... 26.Oct.2004 07:00
Ol' Sy link
Nary are the words out of his mouth and they are proven false. What an air-head! Do we really want THIS unthinking, knee-jerk reacting, visionless, clueless, idealess, habitual foot-in-mouther to replace the one we already have? I mean, just think of the cost to us taxpayers of changing the initials on the White House linen!...and for what?
Gee Whillikers, Mr. Kerry !! 27.Oct.2004 06:39
alsis38 alsis35@yahoo.com link
I guess Kerry and the rest of the Senate-Congressional lapdogs won't be voting for anymore unjustified wars then, right ? Too dangerous ! Logically speaking, you can't make America safer by deliberately creating circumstances in which more and more dangerous weapons disappear from sight, presumably into the hands of terrorists.
I'm absolutely, positively certain that Kerry has learned his lesson and will never, simply never create this kind of situation anywhere in the world just for the sake of proving his dick's the biggest, or placating some oil-man he had dinner with at the White House, etc etc...
Heh heh. Suuuuuuuuuuuuure.
