'The Music Man' at Marriott soars with ensemble cast
by Alena Murguia
Over the holidays, you may be looking for an activity that will please everyone from your kids to your Aunt Gladys. Consider treating yourselves to a fantastic production of "The Music Man" at Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre. This lavish production, with colorful costumes, spirited dance numbers and familiar songs, will please anyone age 8 to 80.
The show centers around Professor Harry Hill and his plan to scam small-town Iowans out of their money during the summer of 1912. The "in the round" seating arrangement puts the audience on all sides of the action and makes us all feel part of the town and the progression of the play. Director Gary Griffen has done a remarkable job of using all parts of the stage, so there's never a bad seat.
"The Music Man" needs a superstar actor to pull off the charisma, singing and dancing of Harry Hill. They found him in Bernie Yvon, who charms the townspeople and the audience. I would have bought anything he was selling. Johanna McKenzie Miller, as the skeptical librarian with a lovely singing voice, provides a tender counterpoint to his bravado. My sons loved laughing at John Reeger's portrayal of the pompous blowhard Mayor Shinn.
While all the individual performances are outstanding, it's really the ensemble of professional adult and a handful of child actors who keep the action moving. From the rousing "Ya Got Trouble" to the show's signature "Seventy-Six Trombones," Harold and the cast of townspeople had us tapping our toes and humming along.
"The Music Man" is a fine example of the era of great American musicals. It has everything-rousing choral numbers, poignant solos and duets, great humor and extended dance numbers. It's well worth the ticket price.

Biografia
Antonio Giuseppe "Nino" Gorini nasce a Varese il 23 novembre 1896,  da Mario Gorini e Carlotta Carcano.
All'età di undici anni si iscrive al Ginnasio inferiore presso il Liceo Ginnasio Alessandro Volta di Como, città ove si trasferisce per gli studi.
Ottenuto il diploma, si iscrive alla Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia dell'Università di Pavia, che frequenta con profitto per il primo anno di corso.

Scoppiata la guerra, fa subito domanda per seguire il Corso Allievi Ufficiali all'Accademia di Torino, da cui pochi mesi dopo esce sottotenente di Artiglieria.

Successivamente, promosso al grado di tenente, combatte nel settore del Passo del Tonale, e poi in quello carsico, partecipando alla Battaglia della Bainsizza, assegnato al 28º Reggimento Artiglieria da Campagna.

Nel giugno del 1918, allo scatenarsi della Battaglia del Solstizio, si trova al comando di una sezione della IIIª Batteria del 36º Gruppo Obici Pesanti Campali.

Il 15 giugno, iniziato l'attacco da parte dell'esercito austro-ungarico, la sezione obici del tenente Gorini viene fatta oggetto di un nutrito fuoco di controbatteria, che causa ingenti danni ai pezzi. L'ufficiale, tuttavia, riesce a rimettere in funzione uno dei due obici, e ordina ai propri uomini di riprendere il fuoco.

Nel corso della giornata, però, gli attaccanti riescono a raggiungere le posizioni occupate dalla sezione del ten. Gorini, e sferrano un violento assalto all'arma bianca. Il giovane ufficiale, pur di non abbandonare i propri pezzi, resiste fino allo stremo, rimanendo ucciso nel combattimento.

Alla sua memoria viene concessa prima la Medaglia di Bronzo al Valor Militare, poi la Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare.

Il 10 luglio 1918 inoltre, l'allora Rettore dell'Università di Pavia, Prof. Ranelletti, comunica ai genitori che ad Antonio Gorini viene rilasciata la Laurea in Medicina e Chirurgia.

Scrive Carletto Croci, Sergente maggiore della IIIª Batteria O.P.C. (la stessa di Gorini), in un elogio funebre del 30 giugno 1918: "Avrebbe potuto seguire carriera meno perigliosa, per quanto non meno nobile, in sanità, ma fedele ai suoi ideali ispirati dal più puro amor patrio, volle rimanere nell'arma combattente - dimostrò coi fatti di esserne ben degno. [...] Ultimo degli ultimi ad abbandonare i suoi pezzi che fino a pochi minuti prima avevano ostacolata l'avanzata nemica, si apprestava a prendere nuovamente posizione nelle linee immediatamente retrostanti. Non ne fu in tempo, il nemico era già alle sue spalle. Avrebbe potuto forse ancora aver salva la vita, ma non era di quelli che chiedon grazia al nemico. Un ufficiale austriaco trovato morto vicino a lui colpito da una palla del suo moschetto attesta la resistenza. Cadde, ma come cadono gli eroi, ed il caso volle, quasi ad aureola del sacrificio compiuto che il suo corpo segnasse il termine dell'avanzata nemica."

Gorini ricevette sepoltura nel Cimitero monumentale di Giubiano, a Varese.

Permanent eyebrows frame and define your eyes. They will be designed to be perfectly proportioned with your facial shape and features. Complementary shades are chosen to match your hair and skin tone to achieve the results you desire. The shape of the eyebrow is customized according to each individual and can consist of a solid full brow or a feathered brow.
Eyebrow feathering creates the illusion of individual hair strokes. It is a method of tattooing each hair one by one between your existing eyebrows to give a fuller and naturally designed eyebrow shape. This technique results in a softer and natural eyebrow.
Eyeliner: Eyeliner is applied to the lash line (upper and lower) to make lashes look fuller and add definition to the eyes. The type of eyeliner you desire can be customized to your preference, from a natural looking, soft fine line to a darker, more sophisticated look or even a cat eye.
Camouflage: Camouflaging of surgical scars anywhere on the body, tattoo removal scars, as well as vitiligo camouflage can be performed.
How is Permanent Make-Up different from Regular Body Tattoos?
Permanent Makeup procedures aim to enhance clients' features. It is a softer and more subtle technique, meant to look more natural. Body tattoos use ink, permanent makeup procedures involve only iron-oxide based pigments. These pigments gently fade over time, which allows the technician to make changes to colour and shape over the years as client's natural coloration and facial structure changes. Because color is implanted just underneath the dermal layer of the skin, the resulting shade is softer, unlike body tattoos, which penetrate deeper into the skin layer.
A highly-effective, topical anesthetic cream and gel are used for numbing before and during your procedure. Pain levels vary from person to person and every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable for the entirety of the procedure. It is certainly less painful than a regular ink tattoo.
Each procedure is performed under strict sanitation and sterilization rules. A highly-trained, certified technician performs the procedure using disposable needles and machine parts. All pigments are iron-oxide based and contain FDA approved ingredients for cosmetic use.
The treatment is permanent and will not wash off. However, it will fade over time and may need a retouch every 1- 5 years. Every person is different and the frequency of touch-ups depends on a number of factors including: the pigment color used (lighter colors fade faster), lifestyle (frequent sun/water exposure), iron deficiency (your body absorbs iron-oxide (from the pigment) as a supplement, therefore if your body is lacking iron then your pigment will fade faster as your body absorbs it), chemical peels on treated areas and the use of various cosmetic products can also cause faster fading of the pigment.
Touch-ups are normal for permanent makeup procedures. Lips may require one additional touch-up as we are constantly exposing them to various fluids, including saliva which causes fading.
Before a permanent make-up application, we assess our client's skin undertone to anticipate how pigment colors will fade in the future. Special formulas are mixed to ensure color remains in the desired tone. For the majority people, their Permanent Makeup stays in the ideal color. However, sometimes colors fade to different tones depending on the individual's response to the pigments (iron deficiencies and cell responses pigment components). Many factors affect these changes and we cannot predict this. In a follow up appointment we analyze how your body has responded to the initial color and if changes have occurred, colour corrections can be done to prevent further color change.
For lips: If you have EVER had cold sores/fever blisters/herpes on or around your lips, you should obtain a prescription from your doctor and inform him/her that your intention is to have a lip tattoo. Start taking it 3 days before and 4 days after the procedure (or follow the doctor's instruction). The procedure can induce these occurences and Failure to take this anti-viral medication may cause an outbreak, which in turn will compromise the results of your lip procedure.
For eyeliner: Wear your regular glasses instead of your contact lenses. Do not wear any eye make-up.
For eyebrows: If you have an ideal shape and color in mind, bring reference photos and eyebrow pencil or powder. Do not freshly tweeze or wax the eye brow area prior to the procedure as the skin will be more sensitive.
If you plan to go on a vacation, it is recommended to plan this trip a minimum 10 days after the procedure. The treated area should not be exposed to sun or water for a certain period of time. We also request our clients avoid prescription blood thinners (if possible) for 24 hours prior to their appointment. This also includes Vitamin E, Aspirin and Alcohol.
We will give you specific post-care instructions after your procedure to ensure a speedy healing process and to achieve the best results. It is ABSOLUTELY essential to keep the treated area moist, do not rub or pick at scabs as the color will peel off, and avoid heat (like in saunas, Jacuzzis, steam rooms, places with hot humidity). For the lips, keep using the aftercare product provided to you (as a regular lip balm) to make the color last longer. A good sunscreen applied daily on tattooed area(s) is needed to help keep color true. Sun exposure will make the color fade faster.
If you are planning a chemical peel, MRI or other medical procedure, please inform the technician that you have had an iron-oxide cosmetic tattoo. Careful application must be taken to avoid affecting the tattooed area. If you are planning to have laser treatments, tell your laser technician to avoid the pigmented area. Laser may cause pigment to turn black.

Veterans Choice funding strikes a temporary compromise
Rachel Arndt
More posts like this
Although the Veterans Choice program received a six-month reprieve thanks to new emergency funding, it will take more than an influx of cash for the program to thrive, according to veterans groups.
As it currently runs, VA Choice has problems, according to veterans organizations and experts. Though the program was supposed to cut down on wait times for veterans seeking care, some still wait weeks for appointments and provider shortages are exacerbating the program's troubles. VA Choice keeps running low on money, and the VA's healthcare infrastructure is hurting. Meanwhile, the population of veterans is changing, growing smaller but also older and more spread out across the country.
These factors have been woeful for Veterans Choice, which is now set to run out of cash in six months—rather than right away, as was the case before—after $2.1 billion in emergency funding came through on Aug. 12. The funding bill also included $1.9 billion for non-Choice VA funding, which will go to hiring and new facilities.
The signed funding bill reflects some veterans advocates' stance on the future of Choice: Build out the program where it makes sense, expand access to some kinds of private-sector providers and rely on the VA for the kind of care it does best, like treatment for combat-related injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and amputations.
VA Secretary Dr. David Shulkin is among those in favor of striking a balance. "Community care or private capacity and VA's internal capacity are not mutually exclusive," Shulkin wrote in an op-ed in July, the day an earlier version of the bill—without the $1.9 billion in non-Choice funding—failed in the House.
A little over a month earlier, in June, Shulkin proposed revamping the Choice Program under the name the Veterans Affairs Community Care Program. Like its forebear, the new program would rely on a combination of VA and private-sector providers but would replace the wait- and travel-time requirements with health assessments to determine whether veterans should see private-sector providers.
Those private-sector providers might best be utilized for routine medical conditions, said Katherine Kidder, a fellow in the military, veterans, and society program at the Center for a New American Security, whereas the VA would see patients in areas in which it's more equipped to provide care.
"The VA could double down on those things where it has the true comparative advantage," she said, cutting down on demand for VA services, and then allow some of the treatment for more routine conditions to come from the private sector.
"That would enable a more focused investment in the VA infrastructure," she said.
Kayda Keleher, associate director of Veterans of Foreign Wars, took a similar stance, saying that the VFW is "adamantly opposed" to privatization and that her organization's members prefer VA providers. Nevertheless, sometimes it makes sense to partner with the private sector, especially in medical specialties in which there are provider shortages, she said.
"Veterans aren't always going to have access to VA," she said. "We need to make sure that, moving forward with Choice, as with the funding extension, we're not just dumping money into community care options and forgetting about how great a job VA does and how much room for improvement there still is."
Others weren't so optimistic about the promise of a tinkered-with Choice—or a replacement program like Community Care—and think an end to the program is nigh. They say that broken systems within the VA—like scheduling and financial tracking—won't be fixed by more funding for Choice.
"The Veterans Choice Program has to be replaced. It was never meant to be a permanent program," said Dan Caldwell, director of policy for Concerned Veterans for America. "And I think everybody has recognized that it isn't offering veterans true choice and you need to go to a different model to give veterans options to get care in the community."
Caldwell's preferred model would allow veterans to use their benefits inside and outside the VA as they see fit. Their primary-care providers, for instance, could either be in the VA or from the private sector.
Still, other advocates are pushing for full privatization of VA healthcare. Sally Pipes, CEO of the Pacific Research Institute, is in favor of providing veterans with healthcare vouchers so they would be able to receive more timely care from private-sector providers.
"It's just not right that vets should languishing on these waiting lists," she said.
For that to happen, Choice would likely have to be left by the wayside. But it's unlikely that dismantling will ever happen.
"If there was an end to Choice, you can only imagine the catastrophic consequences," Keleher said. "I don't know anybody in D.C. who will allow the Choice Program to reach an expiration date."

Here's the answer to this question:
In tools section of package.json add this-
"tools": {
    "BundlerMinifier.Core": "2.2.281",

A: same question here

*

*tools setting in  package.json

*

*BundlerMinifier.Core

A: one more thing to add is that after adding the BundlerMinifier.Core to the tools section in package.json file if you are using Visual Studio 2015 as described above, you need to do a manual package restore. Else VS keeps throwing a package version not found error. For some reason VS 2015 was not doing auto package restore when the new line was added to the tools section in the file.
BTW: Thanks for the original solution above.

Updated Potential Temple Maps
It's been 11 months since I provided maps for likely locations for future new temples. I have revised some of these predictions based on adjustments to calculating likelihood scores. Scores were previously ascertained based on distance, number of stakes/districts in the temple district, the presence of stakes created prior to 1980, and how frequently endowment sessions are held at the nearest temple on Saturdays. Adjusted scores include these factors in addition to the weekday temple schedule and whether a mission is headquartered in the city.
According to the new model, the following temples appear most likely:
Kinshasa DR Congo
Rio de Janeiro Brazil
Layton Utah
Price Utah
Tucson Arizona
Evanston Wyoming
Arequipa Peru
Bahia Blanca/Neuquen Argentina
A total of 36 cities had the same score or higher compared to recently announced temples. 32 of these cities are include in the potential temples map. Temples likely to be announced by 2020 are included in the potential temples by 2020 map.

First Branch Created in Southern Sudan
The first formal, independent branch of the Church was created in December 2009 in the capital of Southern Sudan. The Juba Branch met as a group prior to its organization as a branch. The first baptisms occurred in July 2009 in the Nile River when three Sudanese men were baptized. There were reports of new branches created in Sudan prior to this date from missionaries serving in Uganda, but these units appear to be dependent groups. Missionaries report that several groups likely meet in Sudan (both officially organized and interested individuals meeting in the Church's name without Church members).
In other news from the area, a group of LDS members in Djibouti primarily comprised of those in the US military has also fallen under the jurisdiction of the Uganda Kampala Mission.

New Temple Announced For Payson, Utah
The First Presidency announced on January 25th that a new temple will be built in Payson, Utah to relieve crowding at the Provo Utah Temple. The new temple will served around 78,000 members in 22 stakes in the Spanish Fork/Payson area. With the new temple announcement, this raises the number of temples announced, under construction, or operating in Utah to 15 and worldwide to 152.

First Stake Created in Uganda
The first stake in Uganda was created this past weekend. The Kampala Uganda Stake had a large number of the 10+ branches become wards, although no reports indicate the exact number of wards and branches in the new stake at this time. I will provide additional information once it becomes available. Uganda was the country with the fifth most members without a stake at the end of 2008. For more information about the Church in Uganda, click here.
In 2010 we may see stakes created in many nations which currently do not have a stake. Missionaries report that the Hyderabad India District may become a stake by the end of the year or in 2011. The Kingston Jamaica District may also become a stake later this year. Still no word on the status of potential new stakes in Guyana and Cambodia. The creation of the first stake in a nation indicates that the Church has grown in these areas to the point where enough active members can fill the leadership positions needed to operate a stake and fulfill temple and missionary responsibilities.

Two Districts Discontinued in Honduras
Continuing a trend of discontinuing small districts in Honduras, a couple weeks ago two more districts were discontinued in Honduras in Guaymaca and Juticalpa. The Guaymaca and Juticalpa Honduras Districts each had only two branches and bring the total of districts discontinued in Honduras during the past six months to six. Branches from the former districts were absorbed into nearby districts.
These districts were likely originally created with the hope that additional branches would be created as membership growth increased. However between 1998 and 2005 Honduras experienced much slower membership growth nationwide. Growth rates have since increased for 4.5%, but congregational growth remains stagnant. Districts which now include branches from the two former districts both appear unlikely to become stakes in the near future. All remaining districts have three or more branches and are unlikely to be discontinued.
In 2009, about half of the districts worldwide with only two branches were either discontinued or now have three or more branches. Around 22 districts were discontinued in 2009 and around 24 new districts were created. Areas where we may see additional districts discontinued include Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Micronesia, Korea, Australia, and Russia. Most of these countries only have one or two small districts which may be discontinued however.

District Discontinued in Argentina
A district was discontinued in northern Argentina by the border with Brazil. The Obera Argentina District was discontinued and the two branches part of the former district now report to the Argentina Resistencia Mission. The Obera Argentina District was originally created in 1993. Another district was discontinued in Argentina early 2009 in Gualeguaychu near the border with Uruguay. No other districts in Argentina appear likely to be discontinued in the near future.
Argentina experienced an increase in congregations each year throughout the 2000s until 2008 while most Latin American countries saw a decline in congregations followed by a weak rebound. Growth appears strongest in Buenos Aires and larger cities were there is an ample supply of members and leaders. Areas covered by the Argentina Resistencia Mission have especially high inactivity according to missionaries.

Congregation Growth Outside the United States: 2008
I have not yet provided a list of countries with the largest congregation increases for 2008. The 2007 list can be found here. Congregations increased by 120 outside the United States and 282 worldwide. Below is a list of countries which had an increase of five or more congregations. The United States has been omitted.
Brazil + 53
Mexico + 15
Peru + 12
South Africa + 11
Honduras + 6
Ghana + 6
El Salvador + 5
Democratic Republic of the Congo + 5
81% of the total non-United States increase in congregations can be attributed to the top five countries. Official congregation totals for 2009 will not be available until April.

New District in Togo
The Lome Togo District was created on December 20th. The new district includes four branches, one of which was newly created, named the Be-Kpota Branch. Membership in Togo was around 800 at the end of 2008. Today around a dozen missionaries serve in the country all in the capital city of Lome.

Democratic Republic of Congo Kinshasa Mission to Split this Summer
Several missionaries serving in the Africa Southeast Area report that the Democratic Republic of Congo Kinshasa Mission will split this summer. In addition to the tremendous demands on the mission president administering to other nations like the Republic of Congo, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, and Equatorial Guinea, the mission has also been unable to serve all the needs of the DR Congo itself. Some districts in the interior have had attendance at district conference in the thousands. Several members live in areas without an organized congregation walk up to 200 miles for two weeks to attend Church meetings and gather additional Church literature and scriptures to share with fellow family and friends. Several groups and dependent branches also function throughout the country. Much of this growth occurs without missionaries permanently assigned to these areas. The Africa Southeast Area had over 10,000 convert baptisms in 2009.
A recent trip by the mission president to Burundi revealed hundreds of people meeting in congregations under the Church's name waiting for the reestablishment of the Church in the coming months. The Church had a branch in the 1990s in Bujumbura which was discontinued following many of the leaders emigrating out of the country. The return of the Church's presence will first occur in Bujumbura and in the coming years to unofficial congregations in rural areas. Situations likes these are approached carefully by the Church since the leaders of unofficial congregations of un-baptized members can often be more prone to apostasy. Furthermore conversion is stressed as an individual process and not a collective one. Similar reports have also come from Sudan in the couple years of large groups meeting and awaiting official Church establishment.
A new mission in Lubumbashi appears highly likely. The original DR Congo Kinshasa mission may be divided in three to create a Cameroon Yaounde Mission which could assist in the opening of missionary work in the Central African Republic (which has one branch) and Equatorial Guinea.

Q: If a $\{a_n\}$ diverges, so $a_n \rightarrow + \infty$, how to find sequence $\{b_n\}$ such that $\sum |b_n|<\infty$ but $\sum |a_n||b_n|$ diverges? If we are given any sequence of real numbers $\{a_n\}$ diverges, so $a_n \rightarrow + \infty$, how can we find a sequence $\{b_n\}$ such that $\sum |b_n|$ converges but $\sum |a_n||b_n|$ diverges?
I want to use this fact in another problem but don't immediately see how to prove it.

A: Just pick a subsequence such that $a_{n_k} > k$, and then let $b_{n_k} = 1/k^2$, and $b_n = 0$ if $n$ is not an index in that subsequence.

A: Assume contrary that for all $(b_n )\in \ell_1 $ the series  $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty } a_n b_n $$ is convergent.
Define $$T_n :\ell_1 \to \mathbb{R} $$ $$T_n (b) =\sum_{j=1}^n a_j b_j .$$
The functionals $T_n $ are linear and continuous and $$\lim_{n\to \infty} T_n b$$ exists for any $b\in \ell_1 $ moreover  $||T_n ||=\sup_{1\leq k\leq n} |a_k |$. Thus by Banach -Steinhaus Theorem $$\exists_{M>0}\forall_{n\in\mathbb{N}} ||T_n||\leq M$$ but this contradicts to the fact that $$a_n \to\infty.$$

So you have been lusting over that fancy $6500 Leica 28 f/1.4 Summilux lens but that price tag has got you down. It seems like a dream to some for sure, but for all of you Leica M shooters there is now an alternative.
7 Artisans has released a Leica M Mount 28mm f1.4 Lens for under $500.
No, it is not a Leica. No, I highly doubt it will be as good as the Leica. It will most likely be soft wide open, but it is 13X less expensive than the Leica while giving you the same focal length and aperture in a full frame M mount lens.
I may pick one up to give it a go as the price seems too good to be true. If I do I will share the results here of course!
You can find it at Amazon HERE.
Thanls for sharing Steve , after a week trying i can say its a good lens, its not soft wide open and colors are just fine.
Great concept and price point, but too darn big resulting in finder blockage. Might be great on a mirrorless or using the M's EVF attachment.
28 mm will be my next collection.
Steve , I waiting your review.
The price, the overall look, hopefully a reasonable lens.
I would have preferred smaller in size but it is a F1.4!
Steve, I've sent you an e-mail several days ago offering my review 7Artisans 50/1.1. You did not respond. I used the e-mail address is given in "Submit Post" section, it it seems that e-mail did not reach you.
Sorry if I am intruding.
Hmm, never did see it. If you can resend it to me at [email protected] that would be great.
It can't be '13X less expensive' unless they pay you 13 times the price to take it.
I mean you could buy 13 of these for the price of one Leica 28 Lux. $500 X 13 = $6500, or the price of the Leica.
I agree, the 13x less is not mathematically accurate (I am an engineer), but I figured out what the amazing Steve meant – I think he is allowed "artistic" licence!
I thought we were talking about a lens.

Handing out homemade beer at a liquor store, Tom and Athena Seefurth, chefs based in Illinois, surprised several people with the smell of their beers-from garlic to tomatoes. They are also the inventors of "pizza beer." They thought of creating beer that will match their favorite dishes perfectly, and so came up with pizza beer.
Like these two, people all over the world have created different kinds of liquors, which have become worldwide traditions. Wines have been used during the ancient times as medicine, and though people now no longer use them as such, the recipes have survived, and people continue to enjoy them. When in a foreign country, knocking down that glass of strange liquor is also a great way for you to get to know the culture of the people.
Today, experimentation with liquor is done by enterprising people in order to compete with and add flavor to the bottles and bottles of liquor we have become used to. This is a list of some of the strangest liquors you can find in the world.
Pizza being their favorite dish, Tom Seefurth and Athena Seefurth created pizza beer in 2006. Chopping pounds and pounds of wheat crust, tomato, oregano, garlic and basil for their beer, they have sold bottles to people who have made this their favorite. Dont think that there are actual chewable ingredients inside your drink, though, as the ingredients are well filtered, leaving just the essence of pizza. You can find this at Sams Wine and Spirits, or at Top Shelf Wine and Spirits. It is available from over 200 retailers and restaurants across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Feeling gutsy? Try this fascinating drink served in specialty restaurants around Vietnam. The preparation itself is swoon-worthy, as a person to slice open a living cobra to get its gall bladder, and pours the bile to the rice wine. Locals swear by its health benefits, and that it makes men virile. Huang Rung Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh serves this, and so do others that specialize in exotic meats.
Chicha or corn beer was drunk during Incan ritual festivals and sacrifices. Today, though no longer used in rituals, Chicha still follows the traditional ways of preparation: women from villages in the Andean region chew the maize and then spit the pulp in earthenware jars filled with warm water, where it is left and stored to ferment. The result is a milky, yellowish liquid served in gourds that are hollowed out. Variations of this drink include pineapples, yucca, and plantains. You can find this drink in chicherias along Cuzco and Lima, mostly in central markets and rural Andean villages. To spot a freshly-made chicha for sale, a red or white flag hung above the doorway of a house will be your signal.


Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a type of hallucinogenic drug that is used for a variety of reasons. Indigenous people use drinks and foods like ayahuasca during their traditions and this contains DMT. The hallucinogenic properties are used to induce a spiritual experience, similar to those using LSD for the same purpose. Before using DMT to induce a spiritual experience, it is important to understand the basics because proper use is critical for a positive experience. There are a few risk to know about, as well as the expected effects.
Before you use DMT, it is important that you talk to someone who has experience in using this drug for a spiritual experience. You want to ensure proper use so that you can safely have your experience and reduce the risk of any negative effects. The first step is understanding this drug and what it can do so that you go into the experience with positive expectations.
Many people describe their experience as being more aware of everything that is around them. Things are far more brilliant and it is a true sensory experience for the user. Since things are so heightened, it is important that those using DMT know what to expect and that they have someone with them to keep an eye on them. You want to make sure that you are safe and that if your effects turn negative that there is someone there to keep you safe.
The dose is dependent on a number of factors and it should be determined by someone who is experienced in using this drug to induce a spiritual experience. It is critical that the right dose is taken, especially since doses that are too high can have detrimental effects.
The first thing you want to do is make sure that you go through this experience during a time when your mood is good and positive. Find a place where you feel comfortable and start to relax. Make sure that someone is there with you to keep you safe as you have this experience. The key is to make sure that you are fully ready for the DMT experience before you go into it. This helps to ensure that you have the experience that you seek instead of a negative experience with effects you will not like.
There are essentially three stages that you go through in the 45 to 60 minutes you are using this drug. In some cases, you might not go through all of the stages. It is critical that you are in the right place and frame of mind to have the greatest chance at getting through all of the stages. The first stage begins with a spectacular light, according to about 90 percent of users. Users start to see shapes and colors starting to form in front of their eyes. Many see the light as a type of gateway to their experience.
The second stage is when someone feels like they are in a tunnel. They experience an extreme sense of euphoria and extravagant colors and fun memories occur. At this point, most people still feel like they have an earthly connection and that they are still grounded to the earth.
The third stage is far more convoluted that the previous two. Some people report things like seeing aliens or touring ancient cities. This stage is highly dependent on what is in your subconscious and this is why it is important to go into the experience with a clear mind.
As you can see, DMT is popular among certain groups of people who have a high level of spirituality. Proper use is essential and you must ensure that you are in the right place and right frame of mind before having your experience. This aids in setting things up to be positive and reduces the risk of a negative experience while using DMT. Working with someone who understands using the drug for a positive experience will be able to guide you and ensure that things go as smoothly as possible.

19 Best Songs about Nature to Help You Appreciate its Beauty
Planet Earth is a beautiful place to live, from the vast oceans to the thick forests. Take a moment to appreciate its beauty with these songs about nature. Many of the songs on this playlist urge everyone to make environmentally-conscious choices to reduce global warming to keep the earth alive longer.
Natural Beauty – Neil Young
Eyes Wide Open – Gotye
Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) – Marvin Gaye
Truth to Power – OneRepublic
Going Up the Country – Canned Heat
Where Have All the Flowers Gone – Peter, Paul and Mary
Seminole Wind – John Anderson
Don't Go Near the Water – The Beach Boys
After the Gold Rush – Neil Young
Sunshine on My Shoulders – John Denver
(Nothing but) Flowers – Talking Heads
Big Yellow Taxi – Joni Mitchell
S.O.S (Mother Nature) – will.i.am
Time is Ticking Out – The Cranberries
What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong
Mother Nature's Son – The Beatles
Where Do the Children Play? – Cat Stevens
Earth – Lil Dicky
Neil Young takes a moment to appreciate mother nature with 'Natural Beauty.' He talks about the importance of preserving nature and references the deforestation of the Amazon that has been happening for decades. If you're feeling appreciative of the world, this is an excellent song to listen to!
This song paints a picture of a doomed world due to climate change. Nobody worried about their fate even though the future looked bleak, and nobody ever tried to change their life because other people around them weren't. The song charted at number 96 in the US and did even better in the UK, Australia, and Belgium.
Climate change concerns aren't new to the new millennium. Marvin Gaye had his concerns when he released this song in 1971. He sings of radiation killing animals, poisons blowing in the wind, and smog that prevents blue skies. It must have struck a chord with many others because it charted at number 4 in the US.
This pop song was written for the 2017 film An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power. The narrator of the song is the earth. The earth believes in humanity and wishes that humanity could believe in the earth. The song points out that the earth isn't eternal and that there are consequences for not caring about the planet.
Canned Heat adapted this song from a blues song popular in the 1920s. They performed it at Woodstock in 1969, and it became a popular road trip song among nature-loving hippies who wanted to leave behind concrete jungles to get closer to earth. The song charted at number 11 in the US and 19 in the UK.
This song calls for peace since it talks about soldiers passing away in a war. The song also points out how cyclical life is. The song starts with young girls picking flowers, the girls grow up and get married, the married men go to war, the soldiers get buried, flowers grow in the graveyard, and the girls pick the flowers. The song suggests that war is cyclical like nature.
John Anderson sings of how the Seminole group of Native Americans had to watch immigrants search Florida for silver and gold. After they dug everything up, they left the land bare and disturbed. The song calls attention to how destructive it is to drain the earth of its resources to become wealthy.
Is it fitting or ironic that The Beach Boys made a song urging you to stay out of the ocean because of pollution? They call attention to how pollution in the water affects life on land and that it isn't safe for humans to go near it. The song was released in 1971 on the Surf's Up album.
'After the Gold Rush' is a dreaming song that will take you on a journey through time, starting with the Middle Ages and ending with a new life on a distant planet in the future. In the song, the earth became uninhabitable due to pollution and climate change, and humanity was forced to find a new place to live.
John Denver was waiting for spring to arrive and felt gloomy on a dismal day. He set out to write something to match his mood, but he ended up with a beautiful song that appreciates the sun's warmth. The song charted at number 1 in the US and Canada.
This song is about a "reverse" post-apocalyptic world where nature has overrun modern society. There aren't any restaurants, highways, or technology in this world—only plants and flowers. While it sounds like a good thing that nature reclaimed its presence, the narrator struggles with his dependency on modern-day conveniences. He wants to mow the grass, but he can't. He wants to buy a ready-made meal, but he can't.
Fun fact: After the split of indie band The Smiths, Johnny Marr flew over to the States to join them on this record.
'Radioactive' is about realizing that the world is changing and accepting that you have to make changes. The song's meaning is open to interpretation, so some may see it to be about climate change while others may understand it to be about social issues or change in general. The song reached number 3 in the US and 12 in the UK. It was on Imagine Dragon's debut album, Night Visions, and quickly became one of their most iconic songs that propelled their career upward from the start.
Folk singer Joni Mitchell was inspired to write this song when she was in Hawaii and saw a huge parking lot just below a beautiful mountain. It made her think about how humanity has taken nature for granted and covered it with manufactured things rather than appreciate its beauty. The song charted at number 11 in the UK and 24 in the US.

'S.O.S. (Mother Nature)' is a plea for people to take better care of the earth. will.i.am. talks about how climate change is rapidly changing the earth and that the earth is in danger because of how fast everything is happening. This song was included on the Songs About Girls album, which isn't totally out of place since it's about Mother Nature!
Lead singer Dolores O'Riordan was inspired to write this rock song after reading about the nuclear disaster at Chornobyl. She warns everyone to consider the consequences of their actions because the planet won't last much longer if there are more nuclear disasters. The song wasn't released as a single, so it didn't get much attention.
This song is nothing but appreciation for the beautiful world we live in. From the roses to the rainbows, Louis Armstrong takes a minute to admire all of it. This song charted at number 1 in the UK and 32 in the US. It didn't rank as high in the US because the head of ABC Records couldn't stand to listen to the song.

Paul McCartney was inspired to write this song after attending a transcendental meditation camp. While that camp was the spark that led to this song, he used childhood memories of riding his bike into the woods to develop the lyrics. McCartney recorded the vocals and the guitar himself while alone in the studio.
Cat Stevens mentions how tall buildings take up space in the sky, and roads cover the grass. Grass is a valuable space where children can play, so the singer questions where the children will go if all this space is taken up. This song asks everyone to stop polluting the earth and think of future generations.
Lil Dicky collaborated with about 30 artists to create a serious but comical song about how there's a lot to love in the world, so everyone should just get along and agree to take care of the world together. The song was released around Earth Day in 2019 and urges everyone to start trying to fix the climate so the world won't be doomed.

Casey Ashley of Donalds, S.C., bounced back to reclaim the lead today after bringing 17 pounds, 5 ounces to the scale during the semi-final round of GEICO Bassmaster BASSfest presented by Choctaw Casino and Resort at Lake Texoma.
Ashley's limit of bass bumped his three-day total to 51-15, which is more than 3 pounds ahead of Gerald Swindle of Warrior, Ala., who now sits in second.
Even after three days of competition and several official practice days, the 2015 Bassmaster Classic champion said that he still isn't locked in on a specific pattern, but the fishing remains good in his area.
Ashley said that covering water and keeping his lure in the brush is the best way to find and catch active fish.
Swindle caught 16 pounds today pushing this total weight to 48-5, and he attributes his success to fishing ultra slow and giving the brush-hugging bass several opportunities to see and eat his presentation.
Each day of competition, Swindle has improved his placement in the daily standings. The only way to better today's finish is to win on Sunday, and in order for that to happen, he thinks at least 19 pounds will be required.
Greg Hackney of Gonzales, La., weighed in a five-bass limit for 12-7 and fell two spots to third place today. He is currently 4 pounds, 13 ounces out of the lead.
"I didn't get the big bites today, but to be honest I'm very happy with how things have gone so far," Hackney said. "I came here to finish strong and improve on my Angler of the Year standings, and now I've got a shot at winning this thing.
Randall Tharp of Port St. Joe, Fla., caught a bass that weighed in at 7-6, which is the derby's new Phoenix Boats Big Bass. If a bigger bass isn't caught during Championship Sunday, Tharp will take home a $1,500 bonus.
Rounding out the Top 10 are Rick Clunn (44-0), Chad Morgenthaler (43-8), Brandon Card (43-1), Randall Tharp (42-9), Bradley Roy (42-3), Ott DeFoe (41-10) and Keith Poche (41-6).
Following today's weigh-in, the field will be cut to the Top 12 anglers who will compete on Sunday for the $100,000 first-place prize and a berth to the 2017 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by GoPro.
Takeoff will be held Sunday morning at Dam Site Park in Denison, Texas, at 6:15 a.m. CT, and weigh-in will take place at 3:45 p.m. at Choctaw Casino in Durant, Okla.
There will be no fishing on Saturday, as Bassmaster University will take place at Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, Okla., in the same location as daily weigh-ins. Gates open at 10 a.m., and it's completely free to the public. Bassmaster fans will have opportunities to visit sponsor booths, attend pro seminars, ask their favorite anglers questions and even gather autographs.
Also on Saturday, the Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team has been invited to participate in a special tournament Saturday on Lake McGee. Each All-American angler will be paired with an Elite Series pro for the one-day derby with weigh-in at Choctaw Casino Resort beginning at 2:30 p.m.

Perception of transgenerational family relationships: Comparison of eating-disordered patients and their parents
Maciej Wojciech Pilecki, Barbara Józefik
Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Kraków, Poland
Med Sci Monit 2013; 19:1114-1124
DOI: 10.12659/MSM.889432
Background: Disturbances in various elements of transgenerational family functioning patterns are not uncommon in studies of eating disorders.
We examined the relationship between patients' perception of autonomy and intimacy in their families of origin and that of their parents in their own families of origin.
Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 112 girls who had a diagnosis of an eating disoder and their parents; 54 of the girls were diagnosed with anorexia nervosa restrictive subtype, 22 as anorexia nervosa binge/purge subtype, and 36 were diagnosed with bulimia nervosa. We had 2 control groups: 1 group consisted of 36 girls diagnosed with a depressive episode, dysthymia, or adjustment disorder with depressed mood and the other group was 85 female students from schools in Cracow, Poland and their parents. We used the the Family of Origin Scale to assess perception of family relationships. Statistical analysis was performed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 20.0.PL; Chicago, IL, USA).
Results: There was a significant association between daughters' and fathers' perceptions of autonomy in their families of origin in all groups. There was no significant association between daughters' and mothers' perceptions in all groups. The strongest correlation was between the non-clinical sample of girls and their fathers and for the bulimic group.
Conclusions: We did not detect any link indicating the specificity of transgenerational transmission of autonomy and intimacy in eating disorders. The results point to the importance of the father figure in studies of family systems, including the context of family transmission.

Viral Video Shows Good Samaritan Rush To Save Elderly Woman Being Beaten By Kicking Her Attacker In The Face
Nathan Francis
A viral video from Russia shows a man rushing to help an elderly woman being brutally beaten The man kicked the attacker in the face so many times that he broke his foot.
The video was uploaded to YouTube this week and comes from the city of Klintsky. The video shows the cameraman/rescuer leaving his door and rushing down a sidewalk that sits between an apartment building and a park, with a woman's desperate screams growing louder as he ran to her.
When the man reached the attacker, he was on top of the elderly woman and repeatedly slamming her head into the ground. But the Good Samaritan wasted no time, delivering a kick to the man's head that ended the attack and allowed the elderly woman to slip away. As the attacker tried to get up, the rescuer kicked him several more times in the head until he finally fell to the ground in a heap. Russian reports noted that the Good Samaritan only stopped when he broke his foot and could no longer kick the attacker.
The man then escorted the woman, who was bloodied and bruised, back into her apartment to safety.
The news site Klintsky.info recounted the incident, saying the attacker was drunk and came to the woman's door at 8:30 a.m., dragging her outside after she opened the door. The report noted that the man began to brutally beat the woman, but said her cries alerted neighbors, including the man who ran to rescue her — and film all of it.
The video has since gone viral across the internet and the world. It has received tens of thousands of user votes on the link-sharing site Reddit, where many praised the rescuer for his quick actions.
Others were disgusted and confounded at how someone could launch such a brutal and apparently unprompted attack on an elderly woman.
"How can you physically do that to an old lady?" one commented. "That was worse than just hitting her he was digging her face into the ground. Absolute disrespect. There's no justice here until that man is in a Russian prison."
It was not clear why the man attacked the woman. Russian media accounts claimed that he was a stranger and drunk at the time of the attack. Other reports claimed that he was attempting to rape the elderly woman.
Video of the Good Samaritan saving the elderly woman from being beaten can be seen here, but be warned that it contains some graphic scenes that can be disturbing for viewers.

Burberry Unleashes Trench Coats on Chicago
Retailer uses social media campaign, influential Chicagoans to help promote brand
Tim Klein
A quick glance at Burberry's new floor flagship store on Michigan Avenue and it's clear that this isn't a company that does things in a small way.
One of the most sought-after invites in the city was the British retailer's lavish grand opening party hosted by its chief creative officer Christopher Bailey late last week.
But chances are you've already noticed the Burberry fever in the form of pictures of influential Chicagoans sporting trench coats on bus shelters and other locations across the city.
It's all part of Burberry's Art of The Trench series, a social networking campaign focused on the iconic garment the retailer has become known for, and the company's effort to merge the physical and the digital in pushing its brand.
"Inside of the store, all of our sales associates have iPads so that they can access our world store, and every event that we do, we have some sort of livestream ... all of the screens around the store are controlled in London so that everything is consistent around the world," Bailey said. The store sports five floors of retail space, including interior digital walls, the first North American Burberry Beauty consultation counter and exclusive lines of men's and women's outerwear and accessories.
Bailey says Chicago was the perfect place to extend the Burberry brand.
"People here seem to really enjoy style. They're interested in fashion, but they actually enjoy what's stylish," Bailey said. "You guys have a need a lot of outerwear and a lot of coats because of your weather. We have this incredible site on Michigan so (we) took the opportunity to build something strong and architectural."

According to Bernie, due to our recent roster attrition in the pitching staff (IE the loss of Adam Wainwright), many fans are clamoring for the Cards to go out and get Cole Hamels.
Bernie seems to disagree with the idea, saying that other teams have more to offer, and trading somebody like Kolten Wong to get him would be nuts.
I agree with Bernie. I think we have enough internal options to get by, and we've traded enough youngsters within the last year our two, as well as promoting a few. Our farm is still strong, but not nearly as strong as it once was.
And anyone even *thinking* of trading Kolten Wong should be sent to an asylum. Same for our other good young pieces.
We have a good, young nucleus that could keep our playoff streak alive for a while. Why would you mess with that by moving some of those cheap, young players for a guy with a mega contract? I think people have images of Madison Bumgarner from last year dancing in their heads, thinking Hamels could arrive, help us make the playoffs, and carry us to a World Series victory. Wake up and stop dreaming people. What Bumgarner did was special because it rarely happens.
Yes, Hamels is good. That contract, however is a heavy anchor that would drag down our financial flexibility. To me, that cancels out any on-field benefit he would provide this team. And as I said, the dream mentioned above is an impossible one.
We have good players who can fill the spot Waino left reasonably well. Will they be as good? Of course not. But that doesn't mean we need to go out and acquire an expensive replacement. Rather I say give the kids (and Jaime Garcia if he's finally healthy) a chance.
I've heard that Marco Gonzales kid is pretty good. I'm sure you have too.
So stop clamoring for Hamels and focus on the guys we've got.

Wondering if setting up an HTTP test to check for the closing html tag in a page is enough to monitor an approximate response time for a web page?
Not needing exact ms load times. Just an average to see if there are times the page times out.
Is the check duration approximate enough?
The check duration is how long it takes for the page source to load. So there's no need to add a filter for the closing tag.

Riverview Community Opens Its Arms & Welcomes New School Principal
Alissa Bridges
Sister Carina Maris Okeke gives full credit to God for the series of events that ultimately led her on the journey to Riverview to become the new principal at St. Stephen Catholic School.
"It was St. Stephen that found my resume and called me about the position," said Okeke. "I went through a phone and computer interview and once I came to Florida to interview in person, I knew I was meant to come here. God is good and he brought me here for a reason."
Okeke was a principal at St. Leo/Sacred Heart School in Irvington, New Jersey for seven years and was very successful there. She is excited to make sure that she brings this success to St. Stephen as well.
"I think of all of the students as my children. It's my goal to help make the school the best it's ever been, lead the children to their greatest ever potential and give them a good relationship with God. I want this to be a safe place for children to grow and know God's love," said Okeke.
Although she has only been in Florida for a couple of weeks, Okeke has already developed a love for Florida, the Riverview community and St. Stephen's. "The city is very welcoming, at an event the school had at Buffalo Wild Wings all the parents were coming up to me and saying hello. Everyone is very friendly. I'm very blessed and thrilled to be here," she said. "I truly love being here at St. Stephen Catholic School."
Outside of school, Okeke is known for her writing, songs, poems and spiritual articles. She published a book, titled The Love of the Unloved, received awards for her writing and launched two musical albums and is currently working on her third.
St. Stephen Catholic School is located at 10424 Saint Stephen Circle in Riverview. For more information, call 741-9203 or visit www.ststephencatholicschool.org.

Peill & Company have been instructed to act on behalf of the owners of the Crakeside Business Park in south lakeland, close to Ulverston. The estate has, until recently, been occupied by one tenant, but now offers flexible business accommodation from 772 sq ft to a total of 11,000 sq ft in a range of units. The units are suitable for workshop, storage, trade counter and potentially studio or showroom uses.
The business park occupies an attractive landscaped location alongside the River Crake on the fringe of the Lake District National Park, but is situated on the A590 trunk road, within 30 minutes of J36 of the M6 motorway and offering easy access to Barrow-in-Furness, the Furness peninsula, Kendal & south lakes. The site is within 4 miles of Ulverston, and is between an Esso filling station and newly built premises occupied by Henry Armer Agricultural Contractors.


2019 Dodge Bronco is available with the latest features, newest functions, new offers. Most of us cannot wait for the first release of the forthcoming auto show. People started to get a rumor from couple of months ago, this vehicle will probably be improved by some areas. Hopefully that adjustments would not reduce the characteristics of the last model, a minor enhancement is enough The manufacturers seems to be optimistic 2019 Dodge Bronco might get much better passion compared to the early design.
In some cases people imagine 2019 Dodge Bronco only comes along as a facelift. A little cover-up photos get was able to produce people intrigued, but it really may be expected from the major strokes of the rear lights which is a lot more than just a facelift. We can easily know from the article whether this vehicle is a facelift or all new? Sure, we are moreover interesting just like you. If you think this vehicle in the newest design, we hope it really is an All-New version, but when it will be a mask unit or maybe a last auto picture. This means that the manufacturers is not prepare to release their all new designs.
Don't worry, we are going to consistently track this newest 2019 Dodge Bronco concept. All we must have a little bit of dedication, this will never take long. The producers has presented a number of leaks which enable yo to make sure to be presented next yr, or the end of next year's session. When you have got a shadow picture you will have the the majority front.
Whilst maybe you enjoy some images about this car in the current variant. If you want the designs that we present, we invite you save them. The most up to date photo will come fast, and right now it is moment that will get the new display, hopefully, it could be useful. This is the modern idea from 2019 Dodge Bronco.


Actually I'm saying that the Feds were given the responsibility for preserving that right, by force of law if necessary. For example, if the UN wanted to ban guns, they would be responsible for writing a law that says "it doesn't apply here". And in my opinion, they have failed miserably. Here is an old (2004) article from right after the "Assault Weapons Ban" was nullified and it explains everything very well, but in a readable format instead of just quoting regulations.
That was a great article. Mac is very well researched, but imo I feel you missed the point if you feel federal government are responsible for preserving the rights.
Repeatedly Mac states the founding fathers said the federal government is who will restrict or deny rights. Especially thoughs not explicitly written down. He goes on to talk about natural rights, if the Constitution never existed, we would all have our Rights.
The feds do not have the responsibility of preserving the Rights. Those Rights will never disappear, they may be denied, but they exist. It's the People who have the responsibility to preserve their natural Rights.
You can believe what you want, but the federal government is not here to preserve Rights, never was.
There is so much good information in that article its hard to summarize all the pertinent parts. I urge you to re-read it. If you still feel it says the federal government preserves our Rights, please show me where.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Yes the rights are natural, yes the framers feared that enumerating certain rights was an iffy prospect. By preserving the rights, I mean that they are aware that these are not to be messed with, and as our representatives it would be their duty to prevent any tyrant from attempting to usurp them.
Remember that our "representatives" were intended to be regular citizens deviating from their regular life to take part in the duty of governing. Career politicians are the ones throwing a monkey wrench in the system. If you want to see where the real problem lies (other than the fact that the sheeple are ill informed and socialism is rampant) look at the previous professions of the members of Congress.
Doing conservative math (because of numbers like "a few" and "several") over 85% of Congress listed either lawyer or state/local government as former jobs.
The average length of service of Members of the House is 10 years.
Representative John Dingell (D-MI) has the longest consecutive service of any Member of the 110th Congress (52 years). He began serving on December 13, 1955.
The average length of service of Members of the Senate is 12.8 years.
Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV) has served longer (48 years) than any other Senator in history.
Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) is the current Republican Senator with the longest Senate service (39 years).
LOL LOL been there done that!
Part of me wants to point out that I have never done that but I know if I were to do so the first thing I'd forget tomorrow morning would be.... I check 3 pockets every day, Cell, wallet, keys. I only carry about 1/3 of the time. I have not yet found a holster I like for the office and car when we are in the midst of record breaking heat. I hate IWB (tried it for a week. NOT FOR ME. So I'm still looking.

'Sophie McKeand's Rebel Sun is no dying star, but a fiery tour de force, full of surreal and ingenious imagery. [...] a passionate and heartfelt book, a collection of modern agitprop poetry in which Marxism and landscape rub easy shoulders, and the Rebel Sun acts as an agitator, its manifesto calling for a reconnection with the natural world [...] Accomplished and vibrant, this is a collection to cherish.' – Kathy Miles, Planet

Closer to home here are the local news links we're checking right now . . .
WESTON, Mo. - With parts of the Midwest dealing with flooding along the Missouri River, some groups in the Kansas City metro are stepping up to help people in need. At Weston United Methodist Church, members have been collecting supplies and donations for the last few days to put together cleaning kits.
❖ After months of delays, Laura Norris has at last reopened Italian eatery Ragazza at a new location just off the Plaza (4301 Main St., Kansas City, Mo.). The new space offers 96 seats - a huge jump from the 40 seats at the original location - and features an expanded menu.
Kansas universities are looking beyond the Midwest - as far out as California - for out-of-state students to fill their classrooms. But other states are competing just as hard for Kansas students. For more than 20 years, the Midwest Higher Education Compact has lowered the barrier to Midwestern students studying at other universities in the region.
The Army Corps of Engineers is monitoring vulnerable levees as the Missouri River continues to rise.
Breaking News Kansas City, MO - Women who wanted 3D mammograms in the past, had to pay an additional $30 to $50. At the start of the new year, that fee went away. Dr. Onalisa Winblab with the University of Kansas Health System says it's the newest technology and it has two major benefits.
Kansas City Royals: How is the bullpen shaping up?
Compared to last year, almost anything would be an improvement for the Kansas City Royals bullpen. In fact, I believe the bullpen improved the moment Brandon Maurer, Justin Grimm, Blaine Boyer and Burch Smith were off the team. This group accounted for 181 hits and 141 runs in 143.2 innings.
This weekend is looking a little damp.
