Clarion Reviews, the industry's first and most trusted review service for indie and self-publishers, praised The Most Bold and Daring Act of the Age.
"In The Most Bold and Daring Act of the Age, the latest book in E. Thomas Behr's rollicking historical series, it is the relentless action that grabs audience attention and sustains interest from beginning to end.
The plot moves quickly, capturing what is essentially a guerrilla struggle for national strategic influence. Action scenes that represent turning points are nicely drawn, from hand-to-hand combat … to sea skirmishes where deadly splinters sweep ship decks of life.

This Gemini pendant comes complete with luxury gift packaging and a Talisman card that describes the personality of a Gemini.
"She is loving & energetic with an appetite for adventure. She is sociable and sincere, making her great fun to be around."

I'm unsure of the exact date of this recording, originally issued on an AFRS transcription. Davis was out of commission for a while in late September following surgery. The Quintet -- with Sonny Rollins, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor -- was booked at Café Bohemia for four weeks (August 31-September 27), but the first post-surgery engagement was apparently at Café Bohemia in mid-October (October 11-16), followed by a two-week stay at Birdland (October 17-30).
Sonny Rollins left the Quintet to form his own band, probably during Davis's recovery. Soon thereafter Davis fired Taylor and Garland. For replacements he found Bobby Jaspar, Tommy Flanagan, and Jimmy Cobb. Cobb soon left, to be replaced by Philly Joe Jones. Cannonball Adderley replaced Jaspar in the Quintet in early October, and he was in place for the October Café Bohemia and Birdland dates. It's possible that Adderley replaced Jaspar during one of these engagements, but the saxophonist here is definitely Jaspar.
During the Birdland gig the Quintet (with Adderley) played a one-night performance at Philadelphia's Convention Hall (October 19). The Davis Quintet, along with groups led by George Shearing, Gerry Mulligan, Chico Hamilton, and Helen Merrill, then participated in the "Jazz for Moderns" tour which lasted until late November. Some of the venues: Mosque Theatre, Newark (Nov 2); Syria Mosque, Pittsburgh (Nov 5); Kiel Opera House, St. Louis (Nov 12); Kansas City Auditorium (Nov 13); Huff Gymnasium, Urbana-Champaign (Nov 14); Orchestra Hall, Chicago (Nov 15); Masonic Auditorium, Cleveland (Nov 16); Masonic Temple, Detroit (Nov 17); Auditorium Theatre, Rochester (Nov 17); Carnegie Hall, New York (Nov 22); National Guard Armory, Washington (Nov 23).
Davis put the Quintet on hold in late November as he traveled to Paris for a three week residency at the Club St. Germain. He returned to the U.S. on December 20 and the Quintet played a one-week engagement at Chicago's Sutherland Lounge (December 24-29). Thanks to Chris DeVito and Jim Rowan for help with this date.

Leo Varadkar refused to rule out running a Fine Gael candidate if a presidential election takes place later this year.
Earlier this week, Michael D Higgins gave his strongest hint yet that he is considering a second term, despite having declared during the 2011 campaign that he would be a one-term president.
Speaking to reporters at the European Council meeting in Brussels yesterday, Mr Varadkar would not be drawn on his party's plans should an election take place next November. "Fine Gael will make a decision [on whether to run a candidate] after we know his intentions for sure," he said.

EM equities a value trap with weak earnings outlook: BofA-ML survey
Global fund managers' positioning in emerging market (EM) equities remains near record low levels as they perceive the region to be "a value trap" with weak earnings outlook, a Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofA-ML) survey says.
According to the global financial services major, the other risk factors for EM equities include a sharply slowing China, continuing headwinds from a stronger US dollar and higher bond yields.
A recession in China followed by a geo-political and emerging market debt crisis remains the biggest tail risk for global investors, the report said, adding that investors think China is likely to slow to 5.5 per cent by 2018 -- down from 5.9 per cent last month.
According to BofA-ML survey, based on its Asia-Pacific ex-Japan investor panelists, China, Korea and Taiwan are most overweight countries.
On the contrary, investors are consistently underweight on Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia and have further bumped up their underweight position in Australia.
As for India, the report said that after falling to neutral last month from most overweight, the country edged up "marginally".
Sector-wise, except industrials, pharma and insurance, global fund managers remain underweight on all other sectors in the Asia-Pacific, ex-Japan.
Meanwhile, for the first time since 2006, the Federal Reserve hiked interest rate by 25 basis points after keeping them at near-zero levels for a prolonged period.
While the move was widely expected, there were concerns that Fed hiking interest rate could result in increased outflow of foreign funds from EMs like India.

Here's how SeaWorld can stay above water
By Seth Kubersky
Last week, while all the good Jews were busy preparing matzo-ball soup for the seder, I was noshing on roasted pork and other delicious (though decidedly non-kosher) Latin dishes during a media preview of SeaWorld Orlando's Seven Seas Food Festival. The second annual event, which has been extended for an additional two weekends through April 29, represents another strong entry in a growing seasonal calendar that also includes this summer's returning EDM-inspired Electric Ocean party and a first-class Christmas celebration starring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
However, if you follow the theme park industry, you know that these are challenging times for the home of Shamu. Attendance and revenue dropped last fiscal year, leading to a $200 million loss and the recent departure of CEO Joel Manby, who had been brought in to turn the company around in the wake of the Blackfish backlash. Although animal rights activism is certainly impacting SeaWorld's bottom line, it's far from the park's only problem. While I don't have any definitive advice for interim CEO John Reilly (other than "keep your résumé polished"), as a seasoned attractions observer I can point to places where SeaWorld appears to be swimming in the correct direction, and others where it's swiftly sinking.
Right: Demographics
With festival booths serving authentic Latin dishes like mofongo con carne frita and bacalaítos, and the Bayside Stadium hosting Puerto Rican musicians Yandel (April 7) and Jerry Rivera (April 8), SeaWorld again demonstrates its leadership among Orlando's attractions in outreach to our region's fastest-growing community. "It's not something new to us," marketing manager Maribel Alicea says. "We've had 17 years of doing Viva Musica; we were the only theme park in Orlando to do a Hispanic event. So we're very proud of our history with the Hispanic market."
Wrong: Intellectual Property
SeaWorld once ran neck-and-neck with Universal attendance-wise, but has fallen behind since Harry Potter's appearance. Disney is firing back with Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel, but SeaWorld has sat on the sidelines of the intellectual property war soaking up shrapnel. An expansive Sesame Street land (due by 2022) will cement SeaWorld's reputation as the best park to take preschoolers, but may be too little, too late for the all-important tweens in the face of Universal's Super Nintendo World. It's a shame they can't synergize with a hit eco-centric entertainment brand like Blue Planet, because Guy Harvey and Jack Hanna aren't exactly attracting millennials.
Right: Live Entertainment
SeaWorld's regular performances, from the Pets Ahoy show to the Longshoremen slapstick troupe, are the equal of any attraction, but it's their weekend festival concerts that really put the competition to shame. Not only does SeaWorld (and its sister park, Busch Gardens Tampa) have a more diverse musical lineup for Seven Seas than those featured at Disney and Universal's current seasonal events, its shows are far longer and offer plentiful free seating.
Wrong: Operations
Some guests might consider SeaWorld primarily about animal exhibits, with attractions an afterthought; park management shouldn't do the same. All three of the park's major roller coasters were running at a fraction of their maximum capacities during one of the busiest weeks of the year, with Kraken struggling to dispatch trains in under three minutes even after its virtual reality headsets were unceremoniously removed. Upkeep on dark rides seems equally apathetic: Antarctica is aging rapidly, Wild Arctic looks on its last legs, and most of Journey to Atlantis's effects are apparently abandoned. Hopefully the upcoming Infinity Falls raft ride won't also be allowed to decline after its debut season.
Right: Value
Epcot's fan-favorite food fests charge entree prices for amuse-bouche portions, but SeaWorld's Seven Seas lets you fill your stomach without emptying your wallet. Sampler lanyards, which give you your pick of food and alcohol samples for as little as $4 apiece, are an even better bargain (though be aware that many of the new Latin dishes aren't included). "You already spent a lot of money to come in the park," explains executive chef Hector Colón. "The value of the dollar you get is right there in the food." That attitude extends to things like the $99 "pay for a day, get the rest of the year free" Fun Pass, which is still the cheapest multi-month admission to an Orlando theme park.
Wrong: Immersion
Theme park visitors want to get lost in fantastic environments, but SeaWorld's haphazard layout always leaves me disoriented in exactly the wrong way. And despite my soft spot for its original 1970s brutalist infrastructure, the park is crying out for an extreme makeover to unify its random assortment of aesthetics, starting with the uninspiring entry plaza. Newer attractions like the National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey in New York completely immerse guests without even using any water; to stay relevant, SeaWorld needs to do them one better.

Kwankwaso To Buhari: "Name Weak Politicians Who Left APC"
helen pretty, September 12, 2018 September 12, 2018 , 0
Former governor of Kano State and Presidential aspirant under the PDP, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso has dismissed the claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that All Progressives Congress, APC, defectors are weak.
Buhari was quoted saying "The weakest whose sense of expectation do not align with our vision have exited our party. We now have a party of strong and patriotic people who are ready to work for a strong Nigeria."
Reacting to Buhari's statement, Kwankwaso said through his aide:
"The President should have come plain so that we would know who exactly he was referring to. But my leader and the Rabi'u Kwankwaso that I know is not weak because his achievements are there to speak for him.
"What he has been able to achieve in Kano in four years alone defines him as a strong, visionary, compassionate leader who knows what he wants and how to get it.
"He is the only leader that I know who has been able to put Kano on a sound footing and erect infrastructure projects – over 6,000 of them between 2011 and 2015; they are there for you to touch, feel and use. A weak person cannot achieve that.
"He cannot be selfish too because he remains the only governor of Kano who did not collect the security vote. The man's cult-like followership is because he is strong and people know that he is not selfish, and he can deliver."

Stop diverting anger to fans – Nkechi BlessingFINRA takes down an unregistered cryptocurrency security


I love those touring and cruiser motorcycles, and 2 wheels in general. Just the symbiosis of wheels and engine, combined with wind in your face is what makes me feel alive.
It's hard to explain to non-riders, most won't "get it", or they tell you how dangerous it is.
If I went through life worrying about every danger I've been in to, including my stint in the Army many yrs. ago, I would have no life at all, or be going through it with the brakes on.
I recently traded in my Moto Guzzi Jackal V11, one sweet cruiser, for a Suzuki bandit 1200s. Not a cruiser, not a tourer, exactly, just one sweet back road and ribbon highway all around machine.
The differences are huge; the Jackal is big and long, and made for cruising all day; the Suzuki is shorter, less weight, but torquey to the max. Still got the upright riding position, though.
I got this bike to follow my lifestyle, which is less cruisin' and more back forest road negotiating. Big fat tires, turn on a dime, and ultimately flickable. Since I am an RVer and boondocker, a lot of my riding is on the NF roads which are gravel and dirt. This "little" bike still weighs in at over 500 lbs. wet, but it fits in my trailer well. I am not a racer or hooligan, too old for that stuff, but I do enjoy a little brute force on a bike now and then.

Falling meteor causes fireball, flash of light over parts of Ontario
Published Wednesday, December 2, 2020 5:03PM EST Last Updated Thursday, December 3, 2020 12:18PM EST
An apparent meteor is captured using a Geostationary Lightning Mapper on Dec. 2, 2020. (Provided by Dr. Denis Vida)
TORONTO -- A meteor travelling an estimated 100,000 kilometers an hour is believed to have fallen into the earth's atmosphere on Wednesday afternoon, resulting in multiple reports of a bright flash of light above Toronto and some streaks of fire in the sky across southern Ontario.
Around noon, a number of GTA residents reported seeing a fireball trail across the sky while others said they saw a large flash of nearly blinding light.
According to Dr. Denis Vida, a postdoctoral associate with the University of Western Ontario in their physics and astronomy department, a basket-ball sized meteor is believed to have entered the earth's atmosphere at a 45-degree angle about 50 kilometers north of Syracuse, New York.
"We're still waiting for the data to come in, but we think that the rough size of the object was probably in the order of 10 centimeters. And there's still a lot of uncertainty."
Vida said that it's still too early to know if some pieces of the meteor made it to the ground or if the rock completely disintegrated upon entry. He said the large flash of light seen primarily over Syracuse would have been the result of the meteor being fragmented by the earth's atmosphere.
"The flash was probably about 10 times brighter than the moon, the full moon," he said. "At that moment the body either completely disintegrated or lost a lot of mass."
As of 5 p.m., more than 80 reports were made to the American Meteor Society regarding a fireball seen on Dec. 2.
Those in the United States reportedly heard an audible boom following the event, Vida said.
"Someone called me and said that their house shook so much that they thought a tree fell on the house."
Vida said that it's not uncommon for meteors to enter the earth's atmosphere and that people witness the event generally about once a month on a global scale.
"But locally. It's much rarer."
An earlier version of this story included video from the CN Tower's EarthCam which reportedly showed the fireball streaking across the sky.
Vida told CTV News Toronto on Thursday that after reviewing the footage himself, it appears the flash of light was the result of a camera adjustment that happened to occur at approximately the same time.

Współczynnik objętościowy (ang. bulk volume factor) – bezwymiarowy parametr skalarny odnoszący się do nieruchomego lub przepływającego płynu (wody złożowej, ropy naftowej, gazu ziemnego) wypełniającego przestrzeń porową w ośrodku porowatym lub przestrzeń szczelinową w ośrodku szczelinowym stosowany w hydrodynamice podziemnej oraz inżynierii złożowej.

Definicja
Współczynnik objętościowy płynu  zdefiniowany jest jako stosunek gęstości płynu w warunkach normalnych  do gęstości płynu w warunkach złożowych

Podczas eksploatacji złóż podziemnych, w związku z czasowo-przestrzennymi zmianami ciśnienia w ich obszarze współczynnik objętościowy jest na ogół wielkością zmienną. Dotyczy to w szczególności gazów.

Współczynnik objętościowy dla gazu rzeczywistego
W hydrodynamice podziemnej i inżynierii złożowej termodynamiczne własności gazu rzeczywistego opisuje się następującym równaniem stanu:

lub

gdzie:
  – ciśnienie gazu,
  – objętość,
  – masa,
  – masa molowa,
  – temperatura,
  – uniwersalna stała gazowa,
  – współczynnik ściśliwości gazu zależny od ciśnienia i temperatury oraz składu mieszaniny gazów.

W przypadku gazów rzeczywistych odwrotność współczynnika objętościowego jest quasi-liniową funkcją ciśnienia gazu zgodnie ze wzorem:

gdzie kreska górna oznacza, że dana wielkość dotyczy warunków standardowych.

Zastosowania
Współczynnik objętościowy stosuje się w równaniach hydrodynamiki podziemnej i inżynierii złożowej opisujących ruch płynów złożowych w przebiegu eksploatacji złóż ropy naftowej, gazu ziemnego oraz podziemnych magazynów gazu.

Służy m.in. do obliczenia ekspansji gazu w złożu (parametr systemu energetycznego złoża):

gdzie:
  – współczynnik ekspansji gazu,
  – aktualny współczynnik objętościowy mieszaniny gazów,
  – początkowy (initial) współczynnik objętościowy mieszaniny gazów.

If Posi-Tone Records was a major league baseball team, it would be at the top of its division. So far in 2009, the label has had big wins with Sam Yahel's piano trio debut Hometown and guitarist Yotam Silberstein's overall debut Next Page, not to mention former Ray Charles sideman, trumpeter Jim Rotondi's heartfelt tribute to his former leader, Blues for Brother Ray.
Now Posi-Tone sends three sax players—two tenors, one alto—to the plate, and the result is back-to-back-to-back home runs.
Choosing vibraphonist Steve Nelson for a primary foil may not be exactly traditional, but Mike DiRubbo (the aforementioned alto player) most certainly is. That's not surprising, given that his mentor and instructor was Jackie McLean. There's never a sense of struggle or angst in DiRubbo's approach, even though lively originals like "Lunar" and the title track offer opportunities for such expressions. Instead, DiRubbo projects a marvelous sense of self-assurance as he happily shares space with Nelson. In turn, Nelson practically glows with lyricism on Dave Brubeck's "The Duke" and takes a well-deserved spotlight on the soaring "Nelsonian."
Repercussion was the last session Tony Reedus worked before his untimely death in 2008, and the drummer couldn't have left a better impression. His foundation work and interplay with bassist Dwayne Burno is flawless, and Reedus' out-solo on the title track rolls and thunders over Nelson and Burno's relentless vamp. DiRubbo's been playing and recording for over 15 years, so he's no rookie. That said, there's a youthful exuberance underlying DiRubbo's classic approach, and that's the kind of spark jazz needs to keep moving in the 21st century. Repercussion has no frills—that is, there is no wasted motion or unnecessary histrionics. It's just good clean jazz, and the 21st century needs that, too.
Ralph Bowen's best quality as a tenor player is said to be his "casual perfectionism." Maybe that's true, but there's nothing casual about Dedicated, a collection of musical shout-outs to the mentors that helped shape Bowen's sound and career—a roster that includes Eugene Rousseau (one of Bowen's instructors at the University of Indiana) and legendary saxman (and fellow Canadian) Pat La Barbera. Rousseau's tribute, "E.R.," features Bowen in the clear, playing mournfully longing saxophone guaranteed to break hearts, while "Pat" has bassist John Patitucci flying acrobatics as drummer Antonio Sanchez serves up a juicy counter to Bowen's cascading solo. That this music is about people that matter to Bowen can't be disputed; "casual" doesn't enter into the equation.
Bowen's foil—guitarist Adam Rogers—evokes Charles Lloyd's partnership with John Abercrombie in the late 1990s. Rogers eschews laser-guided effects in favor of a traditional approach that buoys the session. His passion on "Canary Drums" accentuates Bowen's estimable presence; and Rogers jumps and shouts on "Qaiyam" while Patitucci thoroughly crushes the hard-bop bass line. Bowen teams with trumpeter Sean Jones on the appropriately titled "Mr. Bebop" to bring sparkling colors to the best track on the disc. Unfortunately, while all the music on Dedicated is terrific, Jones' cameo on "Bebop" begs the question whether he could have made the other tracks sound even better.
Instead of The Seeker, Sean Nowell could have used "New York Vibe" as the title for his second Posi-Tone disc. The blistering opening track oozes Big Apple attitude, though not from the current century. The feeling is closer to a mid-20th century Apple, with Checker cabs flying across the Brooklyn Bridge and candle-lit supper clubs thick with cigarette smoke. Nowell's bold, snarling tenor could have easily come from that era, and Art Hirahara's percussive piano is just as muscular. Together they bring an uncompromising East Coast mindset to flame-throwing Nowell originals and timeless standards.
It's not all strolls down the sidewalks of Noo Yawk. Cellist Dave Eggar sends the East Coast vibe into a Middle Eastern direction with a mystical version of the Yiddish traditional "Oy Matze Matze." Eggar also brings out the loss in a melancholy opening section of Lennon & McCartney's "I Will," and contributes exquisite harmony to to Nowell's own "Jamie's Decision." (Nowell takes the harmony a step further by double-tracking himself on flute.) The Seeker is like a Mariano Rivera fastball: it flies right down Broadway, daring anyone to try and lay a bat on it. That won't happen, because there's nothing to do but nod in admiration as the ball flies by, straight and true.

← The Unpredictable Consequences of Love
Touch of Power – Maria V Snyder →
Lioness Rampant
It is only my intense stubbornness and insistence on finishing a series that I started which pushed me through the Song of the Lioness quartet from start to finish.
I can't really put my finger on why, but I just did not like these books. Despite glowing recommendations from people who like the kinds of books I like, I just did not enjoy this series. Lioness Rampant, the fourth instalment of Alanna's epic adventures, was something of an improvement on the disappointment of the first three books, but I still had no real love for it.
Lioness Rampant – Tamora Pierce
"I'm not sure I want to be a hero anymore."
Having achieved her dream of becoming the first female knight errant, Alanna of Trebond is not sure what to do next. Perhaps being a knight errant is not all that Alanna needs….But Alanna must push her uncertainty aside when a new challenge arises. She must recover the Dominion Jewel, a legendary gem with enormous power for good — but only in the right hands. And she must work quickly. Tortall is in great danger, and Alanna's archenemy, Duke Roger, is back — and more powerful than ever. In this final book of the Song of the Lioness quartet, Alanna discovers that she indeed has a future worthy of her mythic past — both as a warrior and as a woman.
There were lots of great things in this book. Alanna has come to accept her Gift, and who she is as a person, and she's well able to defend herself both as a knight and as a woman. She forges new relationships and finds a place for herself in the world which allows her to be the best person she can be. There's lots of girl power in this book, and criticism of male-centric and male primogeniture inheritance lines, as well as an acknowledgement that Tortall – Alanna's home country – is not perfect either. As well as that, there's a whole load of adventure, different kinds of magic, new warriors, and a dark and mysterious plot against prince Jonathan…
All of these things are good, and I liked them all, but … I still didn't like the book. Not only were all of the earlier issues still present – Alanna being a special snowflake, that every man is attracted to, the plot being too jerky, the main conflict arising too late in the book – there were new ones in this book related to those issues. The most emotional scene in the book centred not around any of the characters that we've seen growing up over the last ten years, but Liam, a character only introduced in this last book. I felt like it was a poor stylistic choice, and not enough weight was given to other, more central, emotional scenes.
Perhaps, having come in with a dislike of the first three books, I didn't give Lioness Rampant enough of a chance. I did try, though, honestly. I tried to keep an open mind and to like this book, but I just couldn't.
I feel like the Song of the Lioness quartet could have been cut down into a duology which would've packed the emotional, plot-related punch and would've sorted out the pacing issues which I hated. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm just cranky and don't have room in my heart for another butt-kicking, magic-wielding, sexism-defying heroine. But I don't think that's the case. I'm open to loving new books, it's just that Tamora Pierce and I clearly don't gel.
A pity, but I will continue searching for heroines to add to my favourite characters repertoire, and Alanna can stay as a brief sideline. I certainly didn't hate her. I just… really didn't love her as much as I thought I would.

Last Sunday turned out rainy and cold so we decided to visit the Air Force Museum which is located on the outskirts of Christchurch.
This museum is completely free of charge which is brilliant considering the high quality range of exhibitions on offer.
As expected, there were lots of aeroplanes to view, many of them having been fully restored and some still going through the process. In addition to this, there were a few cockpits to be sat in and even a flight simulator game to enjoy.
Away from the larger show areas which housed the aeroplanes, there were a few other museum exhibitions which were fascinating to look at and read about. Many aspects were interactive or contained short video presentations, activities or games.
My favourite exhibition was the one called 'Captured' which followed the journey of prisoners of war held in Europe.
They also have visiting presentations and I'm looking forward to going back to explore the Anne Frank exhibition when it arrives from Amsterdam later this month.
After visiting the Air Force Museum, we went round the corner to Wigram Base, an historic building built in 1938 as an Air Force Base. It is now used as a venue for various events and has a rather nice bar which was perfect for a post-museum drink!

Custom Vintage 1960's Teisco / Silvertone Electric Bass Guitar! Made in Japan!
Packaging Details: Hardshell Case of Custom Vintage 1960's Teisco / Silvertone Electric Bass Guitar! Made in Japan!
Up for sale is this vintage 1960's Teisco-made electric bass guitar. This model is unbranded, but is commonly seen branded as "Silvertone". This is a cool bass. It has just been tested and all of the electronics work as they should. The bass is all original with the exception of a missing switch tip. The pickups are loud and strong! The neck shows some relief that the truss rod will not completely bring out (very common on these basses). The action is on the low side of medium. It starts to get buzzy past the twelfth fret, but is fine before that. Overall, a decent bass that could use a good clean up and then be ready for the stage.


Awakenings Hill Country is a 12-step based substance abuse treatment facility that opened in January, 2015, in Fredericksburg, Texas. The Awakenings parent company has been around for more than five years. Awakenings offers 30-, 60-, and 90-day residential programs for adult women as well as detox.
The sprawling Awakenings Hill Country grounds include a private pool, gazebo, reflection pond. The large house is located on an equally expansive area of land which, surrounded by flora. The house has its own dining room, living room, separate sitting areas and shared rooms that offer a total of 20 beds. Rooms are occupied by two to three women. The Awakenings Hill Country detox facility can be found on-site, slightly apart from the housing unit. There is also an exercise and fitness center available. All meals are included in cost of stay and provided for the clients. Special dietary needs like diabetic, vegetarian and gluten free can be accommodated upon request.
The standard 30-, 60- and 90-day options of stay may also be customized for specific client or insurance needs into different increments, such as for 45 days. Clients are reportedly kept very busy, under an intensive schedule. Classes address topics like life management, high-risk behavior, co-dependency and relapse prevention are held throughout the day. While an exit program is in place to be individualized for each client when the time comes. Awakenings Hill Country clients spend a lot of time with their individual counselors who are available around the clock.
Clients also get to attend of-site AA/NA meetings, do Big Book study, or even enroll in a five-day intensive course designed by addiction specialist Ann Martin entitled Recovery Enrichment. Awakenings Hill Country also provides options for a structured family program, a faith-based program, dual-diagnosis support and ongoing recovery support. Awakenings Hill Country staff consists of two nurses, an MD and two licensed counselors; most of the staff is in recovery. There is always 24-hour medical staff on duty.
Clients may also take part in yoga, equine therapy and creative expression such as art therapy.
Awakenings Hill Country has quite a few enticing characteristics. The program accepts most insurance, including Medicaid but even in cases of self pay, its fairly reasonable all-inclusive prices have the added benefit of getting lower the longer a client is in need of services. While medication is to be paid extra and purchased through a third party, Awakenings has scholarship funds available for those clients who may need that kind of help.

After several experiences with IOP programs and rehabs, my daughter finally found freedom at Awakenings Hill Country. I can't praise this facility and its staff enough. Perhaps my daughter was ready to surrender…regardless of the outcome my opinion remains the same. I highly recommend this facilty. They offer a family and friends seminar monthly. I learned so much and witnessed for myself the compassion, knowledge, professional and authentic approach that sets this facility apart from the others. Blessed.
Get your quote in writing before going. They routinely quote out of pocket expenses that are very different from what they will charge you. I found the therapy there poor. AA & education component strong. Good energy in the home. I recommend if you need just to rest and get time away but not for rigorous, serious treatment.

Sat, 17 Apr | Nerrigundah
Community event - Nerrigundah NSW
On April 17th 2021 we will set up camp for three weeks in the small town of Nerrigundah NSW. Situated at the head of the Tuross river valley,19km inland from Bodalla
Nerrigundah, Nerrigundah NSW 2545, Australia
I hope you are all well.
We are happy to announce that our NSW South Coast project is locked in.
On April 17th 2021 we will set up camp for three weeks in the small town of Nerrigundah NSW. Situated at the head of the Tuross river valley,19km inland from Bodalla.
80% of Nerrigundah's homes were destroyed in the ferocious bushfires of New Years Eve.
Despite their terrifying ordeal, many residents have decided to stay and rebuild.
Our offer to give these guys a hand with their recovery was welcomed at a recent community meeting.
Rosey and I will return to Nerrigundah next March to work with the local property owners to determine where we can assist with their progress.
The jobs will vary from building small sheds, gardens, chook houses , pergolas ,painting,tidy ups, fencing, etc, etc.
Our base will be the Nerrigundah Ag Bureau which has a shower, toilets and cooking facilities.( PHP will be catering the event).
There is no external mains power to connect to for caravans.
Anybody interested in volunteering for a week or two can ring or private message me .

Prospera fue un programa federal mexicano con el fin de apoyar a la población en pobreza extrema con apoyos en educación, salud, nutrición e ingresos; participaron la Secretaría de Educación Pública, la Secretaría de Salud, el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, la Secretaría de Desarrollo Social, y los gobiernos estatales y municipales. Tuvo los nombres Solidaridad (1988 a 1997), Progresa (1997 a 2002) y Oportunidades (2002 a 2014). Beneficia a 6.1 millones de familias sumando 25 millones en sus registros. En su nueva etapa tiene como objetivo además de la asistencia social directa, promover la autonomía económica de sus empadronados mediante la producción de empleos e inclusión productiva de las mujeres. En tanto el programa ha sido señalado por algunos organismos como el Banco Mundial y el Banco Inter-Americano de Desarrollo (BID) como vanguardista y ha sido replicado en otros países, a pesar de que expertos han indicado que el programa ha fallado en los objetivos planteados en México. Desde el Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la Política de Desarrollo Social y Medición de la Pobreza (CONEVAL) se ha considerado al programa como altamente prioritario para la disminución de la pobreza extrema, tanto en la dimensión de bienestar económico como en la atención de las carencias por rezago educativo y acceso a la alimentación.

Estadísticas
Los hogares beneficiados en 2000 era de 2 560 000 familias y para 2002 subió a 4 240 000. En 2007 cubría a 5 827 318, abarcando zonas urbanas y rurales. Al cierre de 2014, 6.129.125 hogares recibían apoyos del programa.

Críticas al programa
El programa ha sido criticado debido a su inefectividad en la reducción de la pobreza, su principal objetivo.

Russia St Petersburg Architecture Building Cabinet Wing of the Anichkov Palace
Cabinet Wing of the Anichkov Palace
Giacomo Quarenghi built a new wing for His Imperial Majesty's Cabinet on the site of the wooden colonnade in front of the Anichkov Palace (1803–06). His Imperial Majesty's Cabinet was founded to oversee the property and financial affairs of the imperial court (1801). Luigi Rusca added two wings for auxiliary premises (1809–11). The original arcades were laid on top of the facades (1885).

History of the Atlantic Cable & Undersea Communications
from the first submarine cable of 1850 to the worldwide fiber optic network
Commercial Cable Company
Coney Island Cable House
The Commercial Cable Company's first Atlantic cable was laid in 1884 from Waterville, Ireland, to Dover Bay, Nova Scotia, and on to Coney Island, New York. The Coney Island landing point was towards the east end of Manhattan Beach, a location also used for subsequent cables operated by the company. This page on Bill McLaughlin's website has an illustration and a short news item on the 1884 landing.
The German Atlantic cable of 1900 and a second German cable laid in 1904, both of which were managed by CCC, also terminated at Coney Island.
Adjacent to the CCC's cable house was one established by Western Union when the company's 1881 Atlantic cable was extended from Nova Scotia to New York in 1889.
According to a report on the Commercial Cable Company published in 1904 by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers the cable houses were situated "one thousand feet east of the Oriental Hotel", which would place them towards the east end of present-day Manhattan Beach Park. From there the cables ran under Sheepshead Bay then overland (via the Brooklyn Bridge) to the company's offices at 20 Broad Street in Manhattan.
The route of the cable across Brooklyn is described in this 1899 article in the New York Times. Oddly, an article from 30 August 1894, also in the New York Times, reports that this land route was about to be abandoned by the CCC because of electrical currents from trolley cars interfering with the telegraph signals, to be replaced by an extension of the undersea cable from Coney Island around to New York Bay and up to "Pier A, North River".
The Coney Island cable house was used until 1912, when the landings were transferred a short distance east to the company's new cable station at Far Rockaway.
The map shows the location of the Oriental Hotel and the Commercial Cable Company and Western Union cable houses (see photographs and drawings below). The line beginning at the flag marker at the foot of Ocean Avenue on the north side of Sheepshead Bay shows the approximate route of the landline cable to the CCC offices at Broad Street in Manhattan, which may be followed by dragging or zooming the map.
