Political Cash And Filibuster Rules Conspire To Prevent Gun Safety Laws
The failure of the U.S. Congress to pass any meaningful gun-safety legislation in the wake of mass shootings is driven by far more than the heavily covered left-right ideological split in both our country and our U.S. House and Senate. This unremitting failure to legislate is also the result of rules that allow for structural defects to exist in Congress - defects that thwart the will of an overwhelming majority of the American people.
To be clear, the sickening crime in Orlando did not happen because of a single problem. We have already seen the evidence of a confluence of causes, as is often the case. But this mass shooting did, once again, focus the spotlight back on the gun debate - and it is worth examining in deeper terms than the stale, red-blue political conflict that plays out on TV like an old rerun. The excerpt below from Chapter 6 of Unlock Congress zeroes in on the issue of gun safety and how a sclerotic Congress has been unable to act. Specifically, the focus is placed on the "money flood" in our system, as well as the filibuster rules that require 60 votes in the U.S. Senate for legislation to be voted upon - a requirement that is an accident of history and nowhere to be found in the U.S. Constitution.
This article was excerpted from Chapter 6 of Unlock Congress: Reform the Rules - Restore the System
Each year the U.S. records approximately thirty thousand gun-related deaths - by far the largest per-capita average in the world, which only intensifies what has always been a heated debate in our country. Of all issues, it might be most difficult to wring some of the politics out of this one. But we're going to try to examine it logically, in our ongoing effort to understand the role that problematic rules play in the policy process.
Law-abiding American gun owners fight to protect their right to bear arms. That right was first established in the Second Amendment: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The extent of this right has been debated in the public square and in the courts ever since. The right of an individual to own a firearm was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2008. But within the ruling, speaking for the majority, Justice Antonin Scalia also wrote that nothing in the Court's decision "cast doubt on long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings." Essentially, the Court had affirmed the right while also maintaining Congress's power to pass forms of gun legislation intended to increase public safety.
Americans on the side of stricter gun laws argue that the original constitutional right was specifically intended for state militias. The purpose in establishing this right was for the state to be capable of defending itself against oppression, which made perfect sense after a Revolutionary War had been fought and won to reject such oppression. Although the ultimate goal of some gun control advocates may be to limit the use and ownership of guns back to militias (as former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens favors), the more active efforts are geared toward passing laws that they say will reduce gun violence. Even many gun control advocates will acknowledge that these efforts have not made enough headway in recent years.
Frequent mass shootings in American towns always have the effect of spotlighting anew the gun issue. Discussions usually zero in on efforts to pass laws requiring tougher background checks or to ban assault-style weapons or high-capacity magazines. The familiar scenario played out again in the summer of 2012 when a mentally ill man named James Holmes shot and killed twelve people in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. He wounded fifty-eight others. The debate restarted. Only two days later, before any new legislation had even been proposed, U.S. Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) made this announcement on NBC's Meet The Press: "A lot of politicians know it's the right thing to try to fight for something to save lives. They don't have the spine anymore. They pander to who's giving them money."
McCarthy was right in the sense that Congress would end up passing no new laws to increase gun safety in the aftermath of Aurora. The real question is: Was she right about why? Was it because our politicians are "spineless" and "pandering" for the money? Or have our leaders just been representing the will of the people?
A better case for examining those questions came one year later following the mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Twenty-year-old Adam Lanza, another killer with a history of mental illness, walked into the Sandy Hook Elementary School fully armed and took the lives of six adults and twenty children. Even with all of the gun violence we see in the U.S., the murder of so many innocent children in this tragedy brought an even greater level of attention to the gun issue.
It also created enough political will for Congress to at least introduce new legislation. After one Senate bill failed (it would have mandated criminal background checks on all gun sales between private parties), a more modest amendment was proposed with bipartisan co-sponsors, U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA). Manchin explained on Fox News that the measure would merely be a "criminal and mental background check strictly at gun shows and online sales" and that "if you're a law-abiding gun owner, you'll love this bill."
Americans agreed to a great extent with Manchin and Toomey. Two weeks before the vote, a CBS/New York Times poll indicated that 90 percent of Americans supported expanded background checks. Moreover, the same poll showed that 85 percent of households with a gun-owning member of the NRA supported requiring background checks for private sales at gun shows. One comparison of polls sarcastically indicated background checks were more popular than baseball, apple pie, and kittens.
On April 17, 2013, the amendment failed in the Senate. Whether one is for or against the proposed law, the point here is to ask why. If American gun owners (85 percent) were in favor of the amendment, why would our government not respond accordingly? Some believe it is because the NRA and Gun Owners of America are more successful at getting their members to actually voice their opinions to lawmakers. But research released by the Pew Center a month after the vote did not track with that claim. Pew did find another factor, however, stating that "while nearly as many gun control supporters as gun rights supporters report contacting a public official about gun policy in the past six months, more gun rights advocates have contributed money to organizations that take positions on gun policy (12 percent versus 3 percent of gun control supporters)." Ah, the money.
Between the years 2000 and 2014, gun rights groups spent more than $80 million on federal campaigns - with $46 million of it spent by those independent groups given free rein after the Citizens United decision. More than $18 million alone was spent during the election cycle preceding Newtown. Of the forty-six senators who voted against the amendment, forty-three of them had received money from gun rights groups since the year 2000 (gun rights groups outspent gun control groups 28-1 in 2000-2010). Despite such strong circumstantial evidence of influence, that does not necessarily constitute a direct causal link. In fact, four Democrats who voted against background checks were likely unswayed by money, as they had received some of the smallest amounts from the NRA.
But influence comes not only from the NRA money that flows into lawmakers' coffers. It also comes from the truckloads of cash that loom over incumbents in the form of election-cycle attack ads. In fact, even the mere threat of such influence infects political thinking. Lee Drutman, who studies the impact of money on gun policy for the Sunlight Foundation, says lawmakers are plain afraid of the predatory political attacks: "They know what the NRA is capable of doing and the kinds of ads they're capable of running, and especially if you're someone facing a close election, you don't want hundreds of thousands and potentially millions of dollars in advertising to go against you."
Still, if we theoretically assume that gun cash played only a partial role in the defeat, what other possible factor in the "D.C. 4-3" could have flexed its muscle to turn back the will of the majority? The vote tally tells the tale. On that Wednesday afternoon, the background check amendment failed in the Senate by a vote of fifty-four in favor versus forty-six against. An hour later, another popular amendment to make gun trafficking illegal failed by a vote of fifty-eight in favor versus forty-two against. Under the principle of majority rule, both of these majority vote totals would have meant success for the proposed legislation. But as we know, in today's U.S. Senate, without a super-majority to bypass the filibuster, there's just no chance.
Four days after the vote, historian Doris Kearns Goodwin aptly described the connection between these two problems: "That structural Senate, given the sixty votes that are needed, given who they listen to, given the power of special interest - public sentiment cannot penetrate. And we've seen it now for the last decade. That's what the dysfunction is about."
These filibuster rules not only stop progress or slow it down to a crawl, they also violate the principle of majority rule. For both of these reasons, bold action must be taken to restore a measure of order and stability to the U.S. Senate.

EU GDPR – a data privacy culture
ISMS.online / General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) / EU GDPR – a data privacy culture
EU GDPR hails a new era of data protection where tick-box compliance is replaced by understanding and accountability.
Back in January Elizabeth Denham, the UK Information Commissioner, delivered a speech on GDPR and accountability to the Institute of Chartered Accountants.
The message was clear,
"The new legislation creates an onus on companies to understand the risks that they create for others, and to mitigate those risks. It's about moving away from seeing the law as a box ticking exercise, and instead to work on a framework that can be used to build a culture of privacy that pervades an entire organisation."
Elizabeth Denham, UK Information Commissioner
The GDPR regulation replaces the current Data Protection Act in only 10 months time. It focuses on you as a data controller of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) related to customers, sales prospects, and personnel. It also focuses on you as data processor of others valuable data.
The enormity of GDPR and its implications for business of all sizes is just beginning to hit home for many.
But why is that?
Because you can't have data privacy without data protection and you can't have data protection without information security. Deeper than that, the GDPR requirements span processes, people and technology, cutting across the entire organisation and requiring a cultural sea change, or indeed 'C'-change, for many.
See how simple it is with ISMS.online
But where to start with GDPR?
Whilst Denham refers to frameworks, mitigating risks and creating cultures, there is currently no recognised GDPR 'framework' to follow or indeed a certification that can demonstrate to regulators and customers that you are compliant.
The benefit of following a framework is the proven structure has already been defined saving an enormous amount of time. And, with time running out, why build a framework when there is already something that will get you a significant way there?
Some quote NIST Cyber Security and Cyber Essentials as useful approaches. Unfortunately, they are not in themselves adequate for meeting regulatory requirements around information security for GDPR.
ISO 27001 and GDPR
However, ISO 27001 does satisfy many of the GDPR requirements and is an over-arching Information Security Management System (ISMS) governance framework. It's also the internationally recognised best practice ISMS framework, the only one to cover process, peopleand technology in the mitigation of risks surrounding all valuable information assets, for example IP and financials, and not just PII.
In using ISO 27001 you can turn your GDPR challenge into an opportunity.
Taking your organisation from purely meeting the regulatory requirements to demonstrating an externally accredited ISMS requires just a little more effort. However, it will deliver greater organisational benefits in terms of new business opportunities, strengthened data privacy and information security throughout your own organisation and that of your supply chain and, ultimately, reduced risks.
Are you ready to demonstrate GDPR compliance? The good news is there's still time!
By May 2018 organisations must be able to demonstrate compliance with GDPR or risk not only costly breaches, but regulatory investigations and a far more punitive application of fines. The UK Information Commissioners Office, is helping organisations prepare for GDPR with a set of simple self-assessment toolkits to gauge readiness for GDPR in terms of data protection, information security and management of records.
Regulators will be looking to see that you have understood and managed the data risks, have documented procedures in place, and have full staff awareness and engagement in data privacy. Using ISMS.online you can accelerate your GDPR preparation to meet the pending deadlines.
With ISMS.online you can:
follow frameworks to prepare for GDPR, collaborating across teams to achieve your goals
use online tools for Risk and Incident management, Privacy Impact Assessments, and Subject Access Requests
evidence staff communications and training for data privacy and information security
use the foundations of ISO 27001 to demonstrate you meet the security requirements of GDPR.
And, if you are ready to take a further few steps, you can build an ISO 27001 aligned ISMS and achieve external certification to easily demonstrate trust in you and your supply chain.

A Few Changes For CMS Students This Year
WFAE | By Lisa Worf
CMS expects to have 2,665 more students than last year. This year all schools will hand out photo ID badges to students. CMS Deputy Superintendent Ann Clark says that's part of the district's efforts to strengthen security.
"We already have all staff wearing IDs in the district. This will allow all students and staff at every school to have a photo ID badge, so that we will be able to identify visitors to the campus that may need to check in at the front office," says Clark.
CMS is opening a new elementary school in Huntersville called Grand Oak to relieve crowding at surrounding schools. Students at McClintock Middle, and Bain and Pineville elementaries will be returning to completely new school buildings. The district had planned on renovating them, but found that cost almost as much as replacing them with new buildings.
The district has installed wireless internet in all its school buildings so that classes can easily get online. However, all 1,066 mobile classrooms are still without wireless. CMS is working on getting half of those online this school year and all of them next year.

Investors in Wabash National Corp saw new options begin trading today, for the July 2019 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 242 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration.
Investors in Wabash National Corp saw new options become available this week, for the December 21st expiration.

Biographie
La société de production est fondée en 1947 en tant que successeur de la société de production berlinoise fondée en 1923, Naturfilm Hubert Schonger. Un an plus tard, le premier film Zehn Jahre später est tourné.

Comme le bureau de Naturfilm Hubert Schonger est détruit à Berlin lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la nouvelle société de production s'installe à Inning am Ammersee. Là, Schonger possède une ferme, derrière laquelle il construit un hangar qui sert de studio. La salle de montage et de projection se trouve dans d'anciennes étables et granges. Un deuxième studio est créé dans le grenier de la maison puis en 1953, Schonger pose des studios professionnels.

Dans les années 1960, sous la direction d'Ingo Hermes, Schongerfilm est aussi une société de doublage, il fait des versions allemandes de films étrangers.

Le studio est dissous après la mort de Hubert Schonger en 1978. À Inning, il y une Filmstrasse et une Studiostrasse.

Late Development
Careers at CatSci Part 1
A Conversation with our Scientists
We sat down with Andrew Roberts and Nadia Fleary-Roberts to talk about their career in chemistry and pharmaceutical development, a typical day in the life of CatSci team and why they love being part of such a dynamic and diverse team. Read on to discover what it is like to be part of the scientific team at CatSci.
Andrew Roberts, Senior Scientist, has been a part of the CatSci team for just over two years. He graduated from the University of Aberdeen with a BSc in Chemistry, before starting his career at Contract Chemicals Ltd in Liverpool. After nearly 6 years at Contract Chemicals, Andrew joined CatSci as a Research Scientist and was recently promoted this year to a Senior Scientist.
Nadia Fleary-Roberts, Senior Scientist, has been at CatSci for over four years. She first graduated from the University of Strathclyde with an MSc in Chemistry, before embarking on her PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of Manchester. Nadia then spent a few years as a post-doctoral researcher before joining CatSci as a Senior Scientist.
Describe a typical day in your role
Andrew: I usually head straight into the lab at the start of the day. I plan and prepare for my experimental the day before as I want to hit the ground running and have plenty of time in the day for anything unexpected that comes my way.
Nadia: The first thing I do when I get into work is check my e-mails; I always have a list of to-dos for the day, that way I can assess which tasks need to be completed first. I spend approximately half of my time in the laboratory and the other half in the office at my desk, though this can vary depending on what stage of the project I may be working on or if something needs to be prioritised. When I'm in the office, I may be working on reports, writing up experiments or preparing for customer updates. Lab work, on the other hand can range from route scouting to scaling up a developed reaction.
What is the working environment at CatSci like?
Andrew: The environment is friendly but also focused. The team are quite close on a personal level, and management are approachable and engage with every employee. We are here to do the best job we possibly can and having a close relationship with colleagues is a big help in achieving that.
Nadia: The working environment here at CatSci is key to its success; it is a relaxed and friendly environment but with a focussed atmosphere, which is very conducive to work. There is the ability to work flexibly, which is a bonus, and it means I can fit my work around my life; I really think this is something all the employees here at CatSci value and appreciate.
What element of your work do you enjoy most?
Andrew: I enjoy the satisfaction when a simplified and optimised process works as predicted. Alternatively, I also enjoy stepping back and appreciating an elegant practical solution to an experimental problem.
Nadia: I really like taking a process that hasn't been developed and turning it into something that we can hand back to our customers. The finished process is often much better, and more importantly, perfect-for-purpose. Some processes are completely unrecognisable from when we first started, and it is very satisfying knowing that you had a hand in it.
When did you realise you wanted a career in chemistry and what steps did you take to get there?
Andrew: I have always been technically minded from a young age. As such, my career choices were perhaps less directed with chemistry in mind per se, but my broad technical interests have led me into a role with engineering, physics and chemistry considerations.
Nadia: I hadn't planned on being working in chemistry, but I always wanted to do something scientific, so after my A-levels I chose a course that reflected this.
What are your career aspirations?
Andrew: I would like to build on both existing process development skills, as well as utilisation and development of people skills in a leadership role.
Nadia: I would like to continue what I am doing and expand on what I've learnt, especially in regard to process development. I would also like to work more within the area of crystallisation as this is a key part of what we do. Earlier this year I went on secondment within the analytical department. A lot of what we do must be examined analytically, so I wanted to see what it was like to deliver projects from this standpoint.
What are some of your career highlights or your most proud moment to date?
Andrew: I was the Lead Chemist on a process which went on to win an award for innovation in industry; it was hugely satisfying to be part of a ground-breaking team that was acknowledged externally.
Nadia: I was really happy to get positive feedback from a customer on one of the first projects I had worked on shortly after joining CatSci. I really feel connected to the work we do, and it's fantastic when customers recognise the great work that our team carries out.
Andrew: Don't be afraid to offer your opinion. Your viewpoint is more impactful than you might expect.
Nadia: Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially when learning something new. You're probably not the only one that has these queries.
CatSci is celebrating its 10th birthday. What do you think is in store for CatSci in the next 10 years?
Andrew: Further remarkable growth, not just in personnel but in the diversity of the portfolio.
Nadia: I expect we will continue our current impressive trajectory, which would mean a fast-growing team and even greater capabilities, enabling us to do more and better for our customers.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- One Staten Islander woman has put together a series of poems based off of her unique upbringing in both Brooklyn and Staten Island.
Maria Giura, a New Springville native for the past 20 years, has compiled a series of her most notable poems in a recently released book titled, What My Father Taught Me.
Giura will be reciting the works featured in her book on Friday, June 1, at the Goretti Group at Holy Family, 366 Watchogue Rd.
The stories include tales from her childhood featuring famous locales on Staten Island according to Giura.
"Fort Wadsworth appears in my poem, 'Bridge,' Forest Hill Road appears in my poem, 'March,' New Dorp Lane, Sedutto's Ice Cream, and a S. I. retreat house appear in my poem, 'Crossing New Dorp Lane,' and the Goethals Bridge appears in my poem, "La Primavera" she said.
In addition to her reading this June, Giura will also be reading her works in the fall at the Garibaldi Meucci Museum, Wagner College, and the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America.
Giura grew up in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, where she attended St. Bernadette Elementary School as well as Bishop Kearny High School.
She uses her everyday experiences as fuel for her poems and her time growing up in a close-knit neighborhood gave her plenty of material to work with.
"Dyker Heights was a vibrant Italian American neighborhood where I could walk everywhere... to school, church, the park, to stores, the public library," she said. "It was truly a neighborhood and a community but living there also helped me become an independent young person because I could get around on my own."
Upon relocating to Staten Island, Giura moved to Great Kills, where she spent eight years, eventually settling in New Springville -- where she has been a resident for over two decades.
Giura received her PhD in English from Binghamton University after completing her Bachelors degree her on Staten Island at Wagner College.
Her work has been published by a number of literary journals including Prime Number, Brooklyn Film and Arts, and Godspy. Giura is currently the Coordinator of Religious Education at St. Patrick's School here on Staten Island.

Edmond D. Gilles, 80, of Colliers, WV died Tuesday February 3, 2009, at the Trinity Medical Center West in Steubenville, OH. Edmond was born on October 12, 1928 in Midway, PA, a son of the late Edmond and Mary Kay Powelson Gilles. He was also preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Cheryl J. Gilles Proellochs on August 13, 2007. Gillie was an entrepreneur. He is the owner of the Korner Kupboard in Colliers, WV, a business he and his wife operated for the past 29 years.

John and Scott were so kind and considerate when our dog Stewie passed away. He died in his sleep on a Friday night. They were here in 15 minutes on a Saturday morning. We appreciate their kindness and professionalism during a difficult day. We have nothing but great things to say about this organization.
Mackenzie Lee and Maureen McElwain
Maureen M.
They did a wonderful job having my husband funeral . I also pre planned my funeral .They are super nice also.
Cheryl Ivill
John and Anthony went above and beyond every expectation I had during a difficult time.
Thank you for all you did for my family.
John O'Brien
My elderly mother died very unexpectedly from COVID. Fortunately for us, she'd planned for her passing years prior. The funeral home took such good care in making sure that her wishes were carried out. There was one change due to unforeseen circumstances on my mom's part; and they were very upfront with that. I feel like she could not have gotten any better care. I also feel like the family could not have had any better care. They were very sensitive to our family's grief for an unexpected passing of a loved one. Prior to meeting with the funeral home, I was warned about funeral homes, in general, trying to upsell families on what was already planned by the deceased. I can honestly and happily say that such things never took place. For example, my mom did not want to have flowers unless they were sent by others. They didn't have to tell us that. In our grief, they could have sold us anything; but they didn't. They were honest and extremely helpful; and I am extremely grateful, and I know my family is as well.
Dola S.
My heartfelt thanks to Greco's for the wonderful funeral they provided for my husband, who passed away this past summer.
Anthony,Scot & John were very caring,kind and knowledgeable and fulfilled every request our family had from the Heartfelt Obituary to the moving service with Military Honors to delivering Plants and Gifts to our home following the services.
At a time like this, one needs kindness,compassion and guidance and they certainly provided that to our family. Our sincere thanks and appreciation for all you did for us and the way you honored my husband's memory.
Ginnie DiAntonio

Dan Saleh
We have nothing but praise for all the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home employees. At the time of such sorrow in the loss of our son Benton, our family was treated with gentle care and kindness. The quality of care for our son and respect given to him was such a comfort. Thank you.
Constance M.
My dear mother recently passed away and my father made her funeral arrangements through Greco-Hertnick. Their presentation of her and the service that followed were absolutely beautiful. It was better than I could have imagined, and I am certain that my mother would have been pleased with the staff's professionalism and kindness. In a time of such vast sorrow, I am grateful to know that my mother was ushered into her final journey by a very talented and thoughtful group of people. I thank them all.
Laura Huynh

Estate planning has once again entered the realm of uncertainty.
We do not know if there will be new legislation regarding the estate and gift tax, nor do we know when such possible legislation will take place (if ever). For example, if the estate tax is repealed, will the estate tax cease immediately or as of some future date; or will the estate tax be phased out over a number of years? If there is a repeal, how long will the repeal last (viewed from both the perspective of the text of the new legislation, and the possibility of a political shift that could result in more new legislation)?
President Trump has indicated that the estate tax could be replaced with a capital gains tax at death, eliminating the current step-up in basis system. This could cause an administrative nightmare, as many investors do not have cost basis documentation (especially for assets purchased before the internet was established). Thus, it would be a good idea for estate planners to begin to determine how to collect data that documents the cost basis of their clients' long-held assets.
Estate planners should also err on the side of caution when it comes to discounts. Proposed regs under Code Section 2704 that were issued in 2016, and which may or may not become final, indicate the IRS is going to be stricter when looking at valuation discounts for family-owned businesses. While we are not sure if these proposed regs will be finalized (as is, or amended), it is probably a good strategy for estate planners to avoid taking large discounts for valuation purposes until we know more. Valuation discounts are still important when considering gift tax (which seems less likely to be repealed), so this issue could still be relevant even if the estate tax is repealed.


This is an exciting time in white wine with the availability of experiences beyond the big three – Chard, Sauv and Grigio. Portugal is a natural to supply new flavours and experiences with its treasure trove of indigenous grapes such as this Encruzado.
Closest likeness might be the rich wines of Alsace which achieve full, herbaceous, natural flavours without the use of oak cask. Marias wine also has the purity and elegant feeling of an Ontario Riesling. Snazzy aperitif, and seafood partner. I'm getting a little stash for summer evenings when it should be 'perfect' with BBQ'd seafood or white meats.

Life is busy when you are half-ghost, half-human, and fully booked rescuing the haunted from their loved ones.
Hecate knew she was never supposed to walk in the world. She hadn't been an afterthought. She was an act of desperation.
Growing up in a small town was rough, but having her family pretend that she didn't see ghosts made things harder. As soon as she had enough money, she bought a place out of town and got to work.
All day, every day, she had her phone on, and she waited for the call that would summon her to someone whose deceased loved one was draining them or terrifying them. Each one called for separate techniques, and she got very good, very quickly.
Her sister's engagement complicates Hecate's life as she is suddenly visible to the paranormal society at large with her introductory visit to Oak Point Way. The Nexus Guard is friendly, the gnomes are frisky, and the pixies are a flying menace. Ghosts were a breeze next to the paranormal.

I'm Keith Cleversley and this is one of my projects. DreamHerbs is dedicated to bringing you the latest information and scientific research on the importance of sleeping, dreaming, lucid dreams, herbal dreaming supplements, light and sound machines, as well as the latest dreaming books and recordings to facilitate deep states of meditation and contemplation.
At DreamHerbs, I believe that sleeping and dreaming are critical components to living a healthy and fulfilling life. In today's materialistic and busy world, many people are not only not not getting enough sleep to meet deadlines and get the job done, the power and importance of dreams seems to have fallen by the wayside or thrown into the "new age" bin. Modern research is proving that a good night's sleep is integral to learning, memory and aging, and dreams may even be the brain's way of "letting off steam" and healing from stressful days.
Considering that we spend as much a one third of our lives sleeping, it is surprising that very few people know about lucid dreaming, let alone how to have lucid dreams. So, we are devoted to raising awareness about the importance of sleep, educating the community about the lucid dreaming, as well introducing new ways that make it easier to have a lucid dream, with dream machines, meditative music, informative books, and all-natural herbs that promote lucidity.
If there is information, scientific research or any other topics related to lucid dreaming that you do not find on our site, let us know. We are dedicated to bringing you the latest and most accurate information; we are always open to topic suggestions, product reviews and new scientific research, just send us a note. You will find our contact information on our 'Contact Us' page.
Not sure where to start? First, check out the "What is Lucid Dreaming?" article to get a clear idea of what exactly lucid dreaming is. Next, read my article that has been honed down from almost 20 years of experience with lucid dreaming called "Lucid Dreaming Made Easy". Honestly, I don't think there's a need to read long books with lots of promises. We all are born with the ability to lucid dream, so it's just a matter of awakening that potential within ourselves. My "Lucid Dreaming Made Easy" article gives you all the tools you need, without all the long-winded descriptions that fill most books on the topic.
To make things even more interesting, it turns out that there are more than a few cultures who rely on lucid dreams for divination, as well as a means to contact ancestors. In Africa, dreams and religion are inextricably linked.
It's no surprise then, that each of these cultures, throughout history experimented, researched, and learned of plants that could help facilitate the gift of lucid dreams and of increasing dream recall. We outline every plant we've found that's related to dreaming here on DreamHerbs in a section called "Dreaming Herbs – Herbal Products". There are many places to buy these kinds of products from, just go with places that look professional, that look like they've been around a long time, and who look busy. The freshness of dreaming herbs is critical for their potency, so just like busy restaurants who have fresh food simply because it doesn't sit around long enough to get old, it's the same for internet shops as well.
Also, avoid herbs for dreaming that are in capsules. The most potent herbs will always be bulk, raw herbs. That way, you can also experiment with your own blends of different dreaming herbs. For me, I prefer a blend of White Lily and Blue Lily in my vaporizer, with a small amount of vervain and valerian made into a tea. For you, it could be quite different, but that's the beauty of natural herbs from so many cultures; you have the power to choose from any and all of them to find what works best for you.
Lastly, this website wouldn't have been possible without the efforts of A. Szostek, who helped transfer, update, and sometimes vastly improve articles from our old site. She somehow turned a mediocre site into an extremely informational website, and she continues to offer behind-the-scenes efforts on this and other sites of ours.

Deciding to renovate your house is actually a great decision. This is because it brings you so many benefits at such as affordable price. Since there are many renovating agencies out there, doing a filtering is mandatory. It would allow you to work with the most ideal professional making sure that your investment in given a great value.
How are you going to choose a residential renovator?
Here are 4 major factors to consider in doing so.Your final budgetMarking a clear margin is extremely important in terms of the budget is important in multiple ways. For an instance, this allows the building companies Northern Beaches to eliminate their offers and solutions and narrow down so that you don't have to review all the available options.
On the other hand, you won't ever have to obtain multiple loans to pay unaffordable bills. There could be a safe deviation but having a good discussion with your contractor and sticking to a final budget is very important. Whether they have done similar jobs of what your requireLet's assume that you're planning to extend your residence by a storey or two. In an occasion like this your choice of Northern Beaches builders home extensions must fit the profile at all times. This means that their past jobs play a major role in the prediction of how well they will deliver the outcome.
Request for photographs, videos and testimonials from their former customers and you will be able to grasp a basic idea on whether they can or can't do the job. However, nothing should ever end without a discussion and try to remain open-minded throughout.Their methodology on the designing partAny renovation job needs a proper planning. For this, the sustainability, the effect on the neighborhood, expected energy usage fluctuation and several factors like that come into play. Considering all these factors and seeing how they complement or oppose one another is essential for a great design. It doesn't matter how they plan of designing the renovation, you should be aware of all the changes and why they are made. That way, you won't find anything to be unnecessary.
This is a problem that usually doesn't come up. However, that solely depend on the extent of the renovation. That's why you should be clear on this criteria and make sure that you're aware of what you're going to do. If you are to evacuate, you need to be careful about it since you will leaving behind many stationary possessions.

Moss saves Jets as Phoenix pay penalty
Former Phoenix goalkeeper Glen Moss saved an 88th minute penalty to ensure Newcastle a share of the points against Wellington in a pulsating 1-1 draw at McDonald Jones Stadium on Thursday night.
A diving Moss denied Roy Krishna with his foot after Ben Kantarovski fouled Louis Fenton at the top of the penalty area.
Wellington keeper Oliver Sail then came to the visitors' rescue when he knocked a Roy O'Donovan shot into the woodwork during four minutes of added time.
The round 18 result kept seventh-placed Newcastle eight points behind sixth-placed Wellington with nine rounds remaining in the A-League.
Wellington boss Mark Rudan rued the missed penalty but also the chances not taken, especially in the first half.
"When you get a penalty with a couple of minutes to go, from 11 metres you expect to score from it but Roy has done ever so well for us this year," he said.
"He's scored a lot of goals for us, and he's won us games and points."
Wellington created the better chances in an open affair early before a piece of individual brilliance from Ronny Vargas put the Jets ahead in the 33rd minute.

Aguero breaks EPL scoring record
Manchester City's Sergio Aguero has broken the EPL record for most goals by an overseas player with his latest hat-trick.
Vargas wrong-footed two defenders in the penalty area before making space for his left-foot shot at the near post.
The goal came after a fiery opening in which Jets Vargas, Daniel Georgievski and Jason Hoffman, in his 200th A-League game, were shown yellow cards.
Hoffman's was his fifth of the season and will bring with it a one-game ban.
Wellington equalised in the 58th minute when David Williams side-footed Fenton's cross through traffic to beat Moss to his right.
The Jets missed three chances in a matter of seconds in the 61st minute when Dimi Petratos forced a save from Sail before O'Donovan smashed his one-on-one chance into the post and Petratos had his follow-up tipped over the bar.
Sail then denied Hoffman in the 66th minute and Georgievski had a shot tipped wide before hitting a close-range header into the crossbar a minute later.
Wellington had great opportunities late but Alex Rufer sent his strike over the bar in the 83rd minute and Krishna did likewise from close range in the 84th.
Jets coach Ernie Merrick singled out Sail for praise after he deputised for Filip Kurto.
"Once again, the opposition goalkeeper was man of the match. He was pulling off saves left, right and centre, which is a credit to the young boy," he said.
"I think we've got the record for opposing goalkeepers winning man of the match."

Thoughts from the Last Mile Welcome to the VillageReach Blog
Why is a Social Enterprise required in the VillageReach Model?
We all know that operation of any health center requires a variety of external inputs- energy, transport/logistics (delivery services), and communications systems to name a few. In wealthy countries, these services would normally be provided by the commercial sector. In focusing efforts on the "last mile," however, any and all of these commercial services are simply not available or are so expensive to procure that they are not operationally viable.
At VillageReach we focus on energy, transport/logistics and communications, the "Enabling Services" that are required to fulfill the mission of VillageReach programs. When implementing health care programs in regions with weak or nonexistent Enabling Services, NGO's have traditionally elected to handle the provisioning of Enabling Services internally. Trucking in generators, fuel and other supplies directly supports the program objectives but it does little to provide Enabling Services to the surrounding community. It is widely recognized that a successful and sustainable program intervention creates and uses local capacity. The VillageReach model and programs to date have as a guiding principle the creation of local capacity not only for last mile health care infrastructure but also for the Enabling Services that support that infrastructure.
To sustain the improvement in health and decrease in mortality that is the core of the VillageReach mission it is necessary to create permanent health care resources in last mile communities. Sustainability requires that Enabling Services be available, be reliable and can be procured at affordable rates for the long term. In order for Enabling Services to be available for the long term the customer base must be substantially larger than just the rural health care clinic and therefore must include a vibrant market in the local community. The lack of Enabling Services in many of these rural situations clearly shows that sufficient market demand does not exist today for a viable commercial business. It's a classic chicken and egg problem – VillageReach is moving forward as a catalyst with creating basic demand for Enabling Services as part of its programs to support last mile health care and incubating the required commercial business for the services.
So, why is social enterprise required in the VillageReach model? Because without established Enabling Services as one of the key elements in the intervention – the VillageReach programs would not achieve the required sustainability and would become yet another solution that fails to provide the long term impact when transitioned to local operation.

The Innovation Pile-Up: Key Players
So who is paying attention to medical distribution systems and more specifically to the innovation pile-up we highlighted in the last post?
There are 4 main categories of players: Governments, NGOs, multi-lateral organizations (WHO, UNICEF) and public-private alliances. While there are many, many important and interesting stakeholders in the field, the most interesting evolution over the last decade has been the ways these groups cross boundaries to find creative ways to work together.
When Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) was established in 2000, it had an enormous impact on the field of vaccines. GAVI refocused attention on vaccine-preventable diseases which waned in the 90's after the highly successful immunization campaigns of the 70's and 80's. And as a public-private partnership funded by donor governments and private organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, it brought serious financial resources to the table (over $2 billion of net assets in 2007). Currently, GAVI supports 72 low and middle-income countries in vaccine financing and procuring. While considerable resources at GAVI have been directed towards augmenting the supply of existing vaccines and developing new vaccines, GAVI and its stakeholders are increasingly beginning to consider the inadequacies of the health systems into which these vaccines must enter.
One particularly interesting initiative is The Optimize Project, a joint collaboration between the WHO and PATH. The Optimize Project seeks to identify and advocate for the "immunization systems and technologies for tomorrow." Funded by the Gates Foundation, the Optimize Project is a recognition that discovery and development of vaccines is only half the battle.
Here at VillageReach, it has been exciting to see the development of enthusiastic recognition and articulation of the problems of logistics at theLast Mile.

VillageReach and the Innovation Pile-up
Welcome to the VillageReach blog! This blog follows VillageReach's progress as well as interesting ideas, projects and events at the intersection of health with social enterprise, technology & logistics.
We 're launching with our thoughts on the "Innovation Pile-up." Chris Elias, the Executive Director of PATH, coined this phrase to describe the coming challenge facing public health systems around the world as years of medical research and development, particularly for vaccines, come to fruition.
When VillageReach started working in Mozambique in 2001, we found there was no system for distributing medical supplies beyond the provincial level … a situation that's unfortunately the norm in most developing countries.
The Mozambique system was chaotic and under-resourced in 2001. Since then, the world has begun to invest heavily in new medical products, such as vaccines, to address the huge disease burden affecting developing countries. Governments, international organizations, and private charities have spent trillions of dollars in research and development of new products. But new opportunities bring new challenges. The new vaccines just starting to become available are much more expensive and are physically, much larger.
For example, polio is a basic vaccine administered around the world today. Twenty doses of polio fit in a vial about the size of your little finger. At 13 cents per dose, the vial is worth only a few dollars. A twenty-dose, polio vial doesn't take up much room in the refrigerator, and if the distribution system ruins a few vials, or has a few leaks in it, then the loss is not huge.
In contrast, one new vaccine to prevent rotavirus, a stomach bacteria that kills thousands of children every year, costs $5 and is the size of your fist. The HPV cervical cancer vaccine is expected to be priced between $50 and $100 per dose in developing countries. The malaria and HIV vaccines, which we hope are coming soon, are also likely to be very expensive. Current distribution systems are overwhelmed now; the new products will swamp them.
Unless we invest in improving the ability of developing countries to handle these new products, trillions of dollars of investment will be wasted and, more importantly, children in those countries will once again, be passed by. While we can get excited about new product developments, and rightly so, we can't forget that our job is not done, until drops are in mouths, and needles are in arms.

The dram shop portion of a car accident claim is just one component when the accident was caused by a drunk driver. The way this work is this: if you were injured in a car accident by a drunk driver who was continuously served alcohol at a bar despite being visibly intoxicated, the bar could have some liability in the accident.
This liability translates into them being named in your claim as you work to secure compensation that will pay for lost wages, medical expenses, and other expenses related to the accident. At Fishman, Carp, Bescheinen & Van Berkom, you will work with a Minneapolis personal injury lawyer with the knowledge and experience your case requires.
Usually, bars or restaurants that serve alcohol are liable when they have violated a regulation or the law. For instance, they may have sold alcohol to an underage individual and that individual caused injuries in an accident.
Our attorneys can help you determine whether or not a dram shop violation contributed to the accident you were involved in.
If the accident resulted in wrongful death, Minnesota law says that the next of kin can bring a claim against the establishment. It is important to note that the statute of limitations on wrongful death cases are very strict. Notice of the claim must be given within eight months of hiring your attorney. The lawsuit must be filed within two years of the illegal alcohol sale.
A major component of our job is to protect your rights. We work as quickly as possible to pursue the responsible parties in your case. We verify the intoxication of the drunk driver, determine why they were so intoxicated, and we utilize witness statements to strengthen your case. Eyewitness statements are especially useful, so we make sure we interview them as soon as possible so that the memories are still fresh in their minds. This also helps us ensure that we file a claim within the statute of limitations, otherwise the injured party could lose the right to pursue the claim.
So if you haven't contacted us yet, now is the time. Even if you don't believe you have a case, you may be surprised that you do have one. The only way to know is to have one of our experienced injury attorneys evaluate your case.
In Minnesota, establishments that serve individuals alcohol when they are visibly intoxicated can be held liable for their actions if their intoxicated customer causes a car accident that results in injuries or death. If you have been injured in an accident with a drunk driver, you may be able to hold them, and the establishment that continued serving them alcohol, responsible for the cost of damages dealt to you. To learn more about your rights and options, call Fishman, Carp, Bescheinen & Van Berkom, LTD at 952-546-6000 to request a free consultation.


I want a really bright colored bag for under $300 for spring, but don't have any ideas.
I prefer something large and don't really want to go patent, but glazed leather is fine.
No wishlist - I'm spending some time being happy with what I have.
Is this over now?? How about B. Makowsky??
Ananas has some pretty colors out for spring. Luna Boston has them are so they are a little cheaper with the code. I have the Nicky tote in 4 colors and another that I can't remember the name of but the leather is really nice and soft.
I know what you mean by the KVZ connection..... I am hesitant on buying it myself! Still, I think the price point is very good. I will post something else when I think of something.
How about the Moorea tote at Begeren.com? It comes in jade and fuchsia.
Kooba Elisha! You can find one a little over $300 on Ebay!

A Bride's Perspective: Visesh and Steven's Perfect Wedding at the Event Center
Thinking about the Event Center for your big day? There's no better person to share their experience than a bride! We sat down with Visesh to hear all about her recent marriage to Steven at the Event Center. Keep reading and find out why the Event Center was the venue of her dreams!
Where did you and your husband reside before you met?
Steven is from Gettysburg, PA and I am from Philadelphia, PA.
What was the date of your wedding?
May 26th, 2018.
How did you and your husband meet?
We met in college. Steven came to visit some friends and I happened to be there and he said he "couldn't get over how beautiful I was" so we eventually out for dinner and had a wonderful time. One week later, we started dating. Five years later, we were engaged. Seven years later, we got married!
Please describe the details of your proposal such as where did you meet, when and how?
The proposal was overlooking the breathtaking countryside at one of our favorite places, New Glarus, a Bavarian style brewery in Wisconsin. We asked our friend to take a picture of us with the sunset and when I looked over, in front of hundreds of people, Steven was on one knee asking me to marry him.
Tell us all about your big day! Why did you choose this location? What was the theme of your wedding? What were the favors like?
We chose St. Mark's church for the ceremony due to the beautiful cathedral as well as finding a church that accepts any denomination. We choose the Event Center at Rivers Casino Philadelphia because the view was unbelievable. It overlooks the Delaware River and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. We didn't have a specific theme. We just wanted to incorporate both our American and Indian culture together. We kept the ceremony simple and classic and followed up with a bold and colorful reception to find a great blend between the two. The favors were our favorite Insomnia cookies personalized in five different flavors along with a credit from the casino for every guest to go enjoy slot play.
What did the menu at your wedding entail?
Our guests couldn't help but rave about the delicious food and the large portions they received all throughout the night. Appetizers consisted of passed Hor d' Oeuvres of coconut shrimp, beef wellingtons, spinach and artichoke phyllo cups and many more. In addition to all those tasty items, we had to have the "Taste of Philly" action station consisting of cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, water ice, and all things Philly.
The meals consisted of a Caesar salad and a choice of USDA Gibsons Prime Grilled Filet Mignon or Faroe Island Salmon accompanied by Grilled Asparagus. Dessert was served family style consisting of mini desserts, mini cupcakes, and macaroons with coffee in addition to wedding cake. We also had a Chef Attended donut wall which consisted of donuts served with Jim Bean Bourbon, vanilla ice cream and assorted toppings.
What was your favorite wedding moment?
Right after the ceremony was over, we both started signing our marriage certificates in a separate room. In the moment, we both just took a deep breath and he smiled and said "we just got married". I replied with "I can't believe it" and at that moment, we both relaxed and were just overall really excited for the future.
What was something you couldn't live without?
Our must-have was the starlit dance floor. Most weddings have the standard one which is why we wanted something that stood out and added a new element to the decor. The Event Center was perfect in accommodating us.
What was your favorite detail?
It is a pretty close tie between the indoor fireworks and the floral arrangements. They were both eccentric choices and were extremely happy with the way everything turned out.
The Event Center at Rivers Casino Philadelphia was the perfect choice for Visesh and Steven's wedding and there's still time to book yours! With breathtaking views of downtown Philly, catering by the award-winning Hugo's Frog Bar & Chop House, and everything you need to make your day perfectly yours, contact us today to book the wedding of your dreams! (844)-538-3098.

COVID-19 Vaccinations Harm Fertility: Claims on Social Media
No Evidence till Now Gives Proof Regarding Adverse Effects of Pfizer Vaccine on Female Physiology
There have been various claims on social media regarding the administration of COVID-19 vaccination, as it has been rumored that the coronavirus vaccinations harm fertility in females, but no physical evidence has yet to be taken into account. There are numerous posts that have surfaced over the past several weeks which have incorrectly stated that the COVID-19 vaccination developed by the pharmaceutical firm Pfizer could possibly have adverse effects, including that vaccinations harm fertility in women or, in some cases, causes an autoimmune response that allows the body to attack its own healthy placental cells.
According to a professor in obstetrics currently working at the King's College London and the spokesmen for the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor Lucy Chappell said that there had been no plausible mechanism inside the human body by which the COVID-19 vaccine currently being administered in various countries across the world could affect the fertility of a female individual. The comments that have been claimed on social media regarding the adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccinations harm fertility are wrong.
Working of coronavirus vaccine
The COVID-19 vaccine was developed to tackle the growing issue of the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused a massive global economic recession along with huge damage to the airline industry. Meanwhile, millions of individuals have died after being diagnosed with the deadly viral infection just within the time duration of one year.
This recently developed viable COVID-19 vaccination works by sending an encoded message to the living body with an enclosed blueprint, which helps and allows the body to develop a harmless yet small fragment of s distinctive spike of the coronavirus pathogen.
This administration into the bloodstream of the body prompts the immunologic system to begin its action by the production of white blood cells and antibodies, which would help in the combat against the viral pathogen. This also helps remember the body to immediately recognize and take action against the infection if it ever encounters it again.
Effectiveness of Antiviral Covid Pill Is 89% In High-Risk…
Coronavirus May Have Killed Over 180000 Healthcare Workers:…
Delta Variant Weakening Global Economic Recovery: Says IMF
This viable manufactured vaccine does not have viral properties and has no option for affecting the genetic makeup of any individual. However, the micro messenger particle has a very short life duration, as they are destroyed as soon as they deliver their designated message to the required place, and there are no vaccinations harm fertility in women. Due to which the Pfizer vaccine particularly had to be stored at a much-specified temperature during their transport and warehouse storage, as the genetic material present inside the vaccine could easily degrade.
Evidence regarding vaccinations harm fertility
On an online platform, certain people have pointed towards a line written in the previous version of the guidelines provided by the government of the United Kingdom which stated that it is yet to be known regarding the impact of the Pfizer vaccine on fertility, but no evidence is yet to be found regarding side effects of vaccinations harm fertility. Since then, the guide has been updated with a proper clarification that the studies on animals have not yet indicated any issue regarding the administration of vaccinations harm fertility or the reproductive system in general.
A major portion of the confusion for the rumors which says that the vaccination harms fertility is how the scientists describe a concept and how the general population understands it. When the researcher states that there is no evidence that vaccinations harm fertility, it means that there is yet to be a side effect observed during a long term clinical study, but it does not suggest that there would not be any harmful reaction of the vaccine on the human body ever.
In fact, it has been pointed out that a large amount of evidence has been collected from other virus vaccinations, including the vaccine for flu, that they do not have any effect on the fertility process and has been classified as completely safe and has even been recommended to women to consume during the gestation period.
After being infected with the viral pathogen of coronavirus, the infection could a=cause negative effects on fertility and female physiology, and it is very likely that the women could undergo complications in fertility in later years of life, but up till now, the claims surrounding that coronavirus vaccinations harm fertility are wrong and should not matter.

The Town of Milan is a rural community located at the northern edge of Dutchess County. It is a strong and independent community of 2,453* residents occupying an area of 36 square miles (approx. 23,000 acres).
The community is conveniently located near to the Taconic State Parkway, providing easy vehicle access to NY State's Capital in Albany and the world's center of commerce and finance New York City.
Milan's history, like much of Northern Dutchess, is based on agriculture. There are few commercial or industrial enterprises in the town, however, there is a growing base of professional and home based businesses.
The hamlets of Lafayetteville and Rock City, (Jackson Corners was formerly a defined hamlet) are not heavily developed and preserve a piece of Milan's historical character. Milan continues to be an attractive community with small town character because of its strong zoning and planning guidelines.
Formally incorporated as a township in 1818 from Northeast and comprised the western tract of land originally owned by the Little Nine Partners Patent. As the town grew in the nineteenth century a number of hamlets developed; they were located in various parts of the town and included Rock City and Lafayetteville (named above) Milanville, Jackson Corners, Shookville, Thorndale, Enterprise and Maplehurst. Most hamlets had a general store; blacksmith and some had a post office, gristmill, sawmill and schoolhouse. Some of the schoolhouses and hamlet business buildings survive today as residences. (See historic map).
The Milan Town Hall, perhaps the most attractive Greek revival structure used as a public building in Dutchess County, is located on a bluff just off NY Route 199 with breathtaking views of the rolling countryside. The original land and building were the gift of Mrs. Irene Kilmer Wilcox in 1966.
Milan had a peak in population in 1840 which then declined steadily until 1930 because of migration to the US west and to industrial cities and river towns. The 1840 population level was not seen again until the 1980's. Between 1990 and 2000 Milan had the second-fastest growth-rate in Dutchess County -24%.
