It's Winter Time – Should You Remove Your Dock from the Water Before it Freezes?
As winter settles in and boat owners are putting away their watercraft for the season, it's important to consider how you will care for your dock during the next few months as well. While preparing for winter can look very different in parts of Texas than it does in the rest of the country, the threat of ice wreaking havoc on your dock is something you should take into consideration.
What can you do to prevent losing your dock to the elements? Should you remove your dock or leave it out in the elements? Let's discuss.
Do You Need to Remove Your Dock Before Winter?
Removal is recommended for docks that are built for easy removal and installation. If you have a floating pier or a roll-in-and-out dock, it should be easy enough to grab a few extra pairs of hands and maneuver your dock out of the water. Standing docks can take a bit more time and muscle to remove but it's important to keep in mind that you'll only need to do this twice each year. Don't forget, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If you don't think removal is necessary, you may be able to use a bubbler or agitator to help prevent the water from icing over. But keep in mind, that there are many areas that restrict the use of bubbler or at least enforce strict protocols for proper use. This is a good option for anyone that has a heavy dock that wasn't really built for removal and installation each year.
Interested in the best winterizing options for your dock? Call (361) 729-7661 or contact our dock makers in Rockport today for more information.

Sting Vs The Undertaker could be a fantasy come true
The Undertaker is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. In an unprecedented career spanning almost three decades, 'The Phenom' has traversed generations, rode through decades, and has enthralled and bewitched the WWE Universe.
And, when it comes to WrestleMania, there is no Superstar who can be taken in the same breath as 'The Phenom'. Out of the 35 editions of WrestleMania, 'The DeadMan' has been a part of 26 of them. This has to be stated starkly so that the magnitude of the statement sinks in.
And, his run of 21 consecutive victories at The Grandest Stage of Them All, famously referred to as 'The Streak' places him at a pedestal that other mortals cannot fathom. Some of the biggest names in the industry, including the likes of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, John Cena, Batista, and Ric Flair have fallen before The Undertaker at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Now, with the Undertaker more than 54 years old, and in the twilight of his unparalleled career, WrestleMania XXXVIII might well see him walk away into the sunset.
In this article, let us look at three dream opponents for the Undertaker at next year's WrestleMania.
#3 John Cena
The Undertaker squashed Cena inside three minutes to go 24-2 at WrestleMania XXXIV.
WrestleMania XXXIV witnessed the WWE Universe finally getting the match that they had craved for. John Cena and The Undertaker had grown into two of the biggest legends of the industry, and a matchup of this magnitude sent the fans into a tizzy.
But then, what transpired in the ring sent the WWE Universe into a state of shock. John Cena offered almost zero offense in the entire match up, and The Undertaker squashed his opponent inside three minutes to go 24-2 at WrestleMania. In fact, the Undertaker's entrance was longer than the entire duration of the match.
Now, a match of this magnitude turned out to a dampener. Surely, the WWE should correct this anomaly. And, the best way is to book The Undertaker Vs John Cena yet again at WrestleMania XXXVI.
A Superstar who can retire The Undertaker certainly needs to a legend in his own right, and Cena certainly fits into the bill. And, a stellar match up this time around can make this an all-time classic and a match that the WWE Universe remembers with fondness.

David Skorton: I'm David Skorton, president and CEO of the Association of American Medical Colleges, and today I'm joined by Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health. We're at a unique moment in the history of science and medicine. A global pandemic has elevated the worldwide need for a better understanding of this virus, and of pandemics, and for development of diagnostic tests, treatments, and vaccines. And all of that requires us to invest in topnotch research. And around the globe, people are reckoning with an unavoidable fact: more than ever, we need scientists and researchers to advance important work.
In the starkest way possible, we're seeing that lives depend on it. This new appreciation for the value of science and research makes this a time of enlightenment. But while some research efforts are advancing rapidly in this environment, other important projects may be stalled, with potential repercussions across multiple fields, and even some scientists' careers. How can we push ahead with the most critical research projects in a time when so much is constrained by unusual circumstances? On this episode of "Beyond the White Coat," I'm talking with Dr. Francis Collins, the 16th director of the National Institutes of Health.
In this role, Dr. Collins oversees the work of the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world, spanning the spectrum from basic to clinical research. He has led the NIH, with distinction, for nearly 11 years, and is universally respected as a scientist and leader. Dr. Collins, thanks for joining us on "Beyond the White Coat."
Francis Collins: Thanks for inviting me on, David – always good to talk to you.
David Skorton: Same here – thank you very, very much.
Well, as I noted, the research community has the nation's attention like we have not for generations. While science and facts have been under attack in some realms, the reality is that society has recognized, in an urgent way, that we do, in fact, need research to understand the biology of our viral adversary, and to develop the vaccines and treatments that will save lives. In a way, this could be science's finest hour. Dr. Collins, how do we use this moment well?
Francis Collins: That is an interesting question, David. I don't think any of us would've hoped that it would take something like this to bring science into the public eye, but that is what's happened. And when you see the way in which the public across the world are looking to science, at this point, for answers, it is a chance for us to explain what we do, how the whole scientific method is based upon rigor and evidence. And how we need all of that in order to find answers, in terms of preventions like vaccines, and in terms of treatments. You've seen all of that start to happen, now and then anyway, with Tony Fauci educating the public about what it means to run a placebo controlled randomized trial.
And to be able to say, therefore, that remdesivir actually does provide benefit for COVID-19, whereas, many of the other claims have not yet been subjected to that standard. And I think people are starting to get that. I think they're also getting the importance of paying attention to public health majors, that is really is possible, 'cause we've all been part of this, to flatten that curve by doing things individually to keep the infection rates from skyrocketing. And, yeah, I think, also, when it comes to vaccines, which most of the press about vaccines, prior to this, was all the people complaining about whether they're safe. You don't hear nearly so much about that now [laughs]; everybody is, like, "Where is it? Get me that vaccine as soon as you can. We all desperately need this, if we're going to be able to go back out in the public again."
David Skorton: Well, that would sure be a wonderful spinoff of a horrible, horrible situation, if people started to believe again in the safety and efficacy of vaccines, that would be terrific, terrific.
Francis Collins: Yes.
David Skorton: Now, we hear a lot about what researchers are doing, of course, around vaccine development and treatments for COVID, but how is the pandemic affecting basic research and medical research in fields other than COVID?
Francis Collins: Frankly, it's been pretty devastating for research in general, and certainly research supported by NIH, across all the institutions around this country, and some in other parts of the world. Because of the need for researchers to protect themselves and protect other people around them, a lot of the research enterprise has had to go into a slow-motion mood. Certainly, those who can continue to do research from their home, as I am right now [laughs] in my home office, are continuing to work, maybe harder than ever. And so, some areas of research that involve, for instance, the people who are doing data analysis or artificial intelligence programming may be able to go quite nicely forward. But anybody who needs bench access to do bench experiments is going to have a pretty tough time right now, because they've pretty much been told, "Go home and stay safe."
The idea of trying to get people back into that kind of place, obviously, is very much on everyone's mind. Similarly, clinical trials, because hospitals have found it necessary to limit anything that's not an emergency, clinical trial enrollment has dropped way back for many things that are not related to COVID-19. We're going to have a lot of catching up to do, when we get past this.
David Skorton: Well, you know, you mentioned bench research, and for our listeners who don't think about this lingo every day, tell us a little bit about why bench or basic research is so important. How is it helping us to deal with this pandemic and other issues? And can anything be done? Can we be doing anything to support those basic research labs that have had to close because of social distancing restrictions? What could be the longer-term impact on other fields?
Francis Collins: Well, let's just talk about the coronavirus circumstance, and how critical basic science that's been done over the last few years has been in our understanding, here. This is a virus that is part of a family that includes the common cold but also some very dangerous viruses like SARS and MERS. How do we know about these viruses? Well, it's from basic science, reading out what their particular RNA instruction book looks like, so we know what their genomes are all about. But also understanding what proteins they make, what protein structures are created by those viral substances, that might be the best way for us to understand drug therapy or vaccines. All of that depending upon genomics and structural biology and immunology, basic science, without which we'd be very much in the dark.
But at the moment, most of the basic science that potentially would be preparing us for whatever comes next is pretty much had to on-hold, in order for those bench researchers who are doing those experiments, that are basic but not directly related to clinical care, have had to step aside. So, we need to, as we're figuring out how to get past this, make sure that those individuals have the flexibility to do things that they can do while they're telecommuting, like data analysis and writing papers and all of that. [Laughs] But also, to figure out how, safely, to get them back to work in their physical space, as soon as we can do so. And we're already, at NIH, starting to talk about that, how do we, in a very careful way, maintaining physical distancing, increasing the amount of testing so that you know if somebody is infected, even before they have symptoms, how could we begin to reemerge into a place where you could do great basic science but not put people at risk.
David Skorton: Sure looking forward to that day, Dr. Collins, sure looking forward to that day. Now, one other thing that you've mentioned, before, very eloquently, is that the thing about basic research is that you don't always know what it's going to lead to. And if you look backwards at things that ended up being immensely practically useful, you can't always have predicted that from the other end. Do you still agree with that?
Francis Collins: Oh, totally, and you can cite many examples where the most obscure-sounding research turned out to be the place where the insight happened that changed everything. I guess everybody's favorite example right now is this whole revolution in gene editing with CRISPR-Cas. And that's now sort of words that come out of many people's mouths, "Oh, it's the CRISPR-Cas revolution." Well, where did it come from? This very obscure research studying yogurt and bacteria, and understanding viruses that attack bacteria, not us but bacteria. And figuring out how bacteria defend themselves against those attacking marauders, well, that's what Cas-9 turns out to be all about.
And here we are: we can use that same machinery to go and change the DNA sequence of any cell. And the power that gives us for things like curing sickle cell disease is so exciting, and it all came out of this really obscure area. So, don't let anybody say, "Well, you know, NIH should just fund research where you can see a direct connection to an important disease." We would miss out badly [laughs] in everything that we're going to want to know over the next many decades, if we don't continue to support, as we do, about half of our budget in these areas of basic research, that don't have a direct disease connection but provide the foundation for everything.
David Skorton: Well, as many science geeks like me are grateful for, you're doing it. Keep on doing it, please, Dr. Collins. Now, another concern has to do not so much with the research, but getting back to your comments about the people who do the research, and looking a little bit forward to those who are trainees, graduate students, postdocs, brand-new faculty members, how do you think the pause in research is affecting their career transitions? And what's your impression on how this is affecting those who are even thinking, remotely, about a research career?
Francis Collins: For current trainees, this is a tough time, there's no doubt about it. And I am particularly concerned that we do everything we can to nurture and encourage those folks, because they've had an interruption, many of them had, in what they thought was going to be a trajectory of growing more and more experienced, and generating data and publications, and they've had to put a lot of that on hold. We've done everything we can, through NIH, to try to reach out to those individuals, encourage them that this is the kind of thing we will all get through together, come up with ways to help this pause not be a waste of time but an opportunity to learn other new things. Like, maybe this is the time to learn how to be a better programmer [laughs], to learn how to work with Python or R, all of those things are being offered up.
And, yeah, at the same time, it is frustrating, I don't doubt it. And I worry about the way in which this is affecting sort of the general sense of mental health of our whole research community. This is a big stressor, and there are certainly fears and anxieties that people are experiencing, and we need to address those, too, admit that they're there, and figure out ways to support each other even in the face of this kind of social distancing. But we will get through it. And it is inspiring for me, when I meet with my lab group, which we do remotely and virtually, to hear how people are making the best of this situation, despite what certainly has put a burden on them that they didn't expect.
In terms of what it means for future trainees coming in, well, if you needed evidence that we need medical research, and we need physician-researchers, and we need all of that as part of our ecosystem, in order to be able to face whatever's coming next, here's your evidence. And to see scientists so prominently represented, and to have role models out there really talking to the public about why research is so critical, and how we're doing everything we can to find answers, I would think that would be a pretty good moment for a high school student or a college freshman to say, "Yeah, I think that oughta be something I wanna consider. I might wanna be part of that team."
David Skorton: Okay, great, okay, we'll keep on going, then – thanks a lot.
Dr. Collins, governments and citizens everywhere are looking to the research community, not only for the findings but to actually deliver hope. Hope that lives can be saved, hope that economies and communities and families can someday, soon, get back somewhere in the direction of normal. Well, this week I was thrilled to see that the NIH mobilized a new national innovation initiative for COVID-19 diagnostics, as I understand it, aiming to speed delivery of accurate and easy-to-use and scalable tests to all Americans. Please tell us more about this exciting initiative – that would be great.
Francis Collins: Well, this is a bold initiative indeed, and congress provided us with remarkably significant resources, to push it forward. I think we all understand that, if it is going to be possible to come out of seclusion and back into public spaces, and back to work and back to school, we're going to have to have the ability to do rapid and accessible testing. To discover anybody who's just gotten infected with coronavirus, and make sure that individual's quarantined and their contacts are identified. That means, ideally, we have to have an expansion of the numbers of tests that are available, but also, that they're available in an accessible point of care fashion. So that you don't have to take the sample, send it off to some central laboratory, and hope to get a result back in a few days, and we need to know as soon as we can.
So, what we announced, this program called RADx, which stands for Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics, is inviting all of those creative, innovative platform developers out there to come forward with what they've got that might represent a solution to this. And we have resources to offer them, to help them figure out where their strong points and their weak points are, and how they could take advantage of engineering and technology expertise that we'll supply them with, business expertise, people who know about scaling and commercialization. And try to see if we can take a few of those platforms and turn them into reality, in just a few months. I think that is an incredibly bold timetable, but the time requires that.
So, this program began its solicitation just yesterday, and I gather there already have been more than 100 inquiries. We're going to have a lot of really wonderful technology geeks who are going to show us their stuff, and we're going to try to figure out how to turn that into a real transformation, across the country, in the ability to do this kind of testing. With that in place, I think our chances of being able to get back to something approaching a normal circumstance, although it'll never be quite the same, but we'll be able to do it in a way that doesn't have the high risk of a second wave of COVID-19.
David Skorton: I'll tell you what, I'm very jealous that you get to look at all those proposals. [Laughter] How exciting. I'm really jealous.
Francis Collins: [Crosstalk]
David Skorton: Hey, listen, we all know that vaccine development takes a very, very long time, depending on who you listen to, a year anyway, maybe longer. I know you're working on a new public-private partnership called, if I have it right, Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines. To coordinate, basically, an international research response to the pandemic. How's that going, so far?
Francis Collins: This is another pretty amazing experience, just started on April 3rd, and in that space of less than a month, we have 16 pharmaceutical companies contributing their best people. The academic institutions that have expertise also all lining up to help. And multiple institutes at NIH, especially, of course, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, but also FDA in a very significant way, CDC, BARDA, and some European connection as well. That has broken itself into four working groups, one on preclinical therapeutics, one on clinical therapeutics, one on clinical trials capacity, and one on vaccines. Those working groups, essentially, meeting several hours every day [laughs] [audio cuts out] all kinds of timetables that they're living up to.
By next week, we expect we'll have a prioritized list of what are the therapeutics that ought to be next in the clinical trial, so that this is done in an organized way. The vaccine strategy, similarly, you know, there are at least four or five of these that are on a pretty fast track. But part of the goal of this partnership, called ACTIVE, is to be sure we're learning, across those protocols, everything that we could, so that they don't just travel in isolated pathways. Will we have a vaccine by the end of 2020? There's a lot of people pushing really hard to get there. That would be unprecedented, but we are ready to try things that are very much out of the ordinary in this circumstance. We're basically working with the FDA to think about ways to do trials of vaccines that don't require you to go from Phase I to Phase II to Phase III, with steps in-between; how can you make that faster but still end up with something you believe is safe and effective.
David Skorton: Well, it's terrific. We're all cheering you on. And I tell you what, you're also setting an example for us, that we can speed up our processes and try to get where we know we have to go, a little bit slicker and quicker. You know, I wanna change gears, just for a moment, and say that during these times of social distancing, for me anyway, it's been very important to stay connected to my love of making music. I've always got an instrument around or a keyboard that I can play and noodle around with. You're an estimable musician and someone I've admired for a long time. How are you coping during this unusual time? And what role, if I can ask, does music play in your life, currently?
Francis Collins: It's part of my therapy, I'll tell ya – I'm glad you brought it up, David – 'cause it does seem like we're in a very strange circumstance. I am probably working 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, on all the things that are required for COVID-19, and sometimes I get a little stir crazy. [Laughs] I barely seem to be able to get to go outside when the sun is up, but once in a while, I will sneak up out of this office and walk across the way, where my baby grand piano is sitting, and just see what kind of music happens. 'Cause that lifts me up out of what might be a feeling of burdensome oppression. 'Cause there's a lot of burdensome things happening with this, and sometimes you just need a way to clear your head, sort of get your brain to think in a more productive way about creativity. And give yourself just a sense of joy and a beauty of things that music can create.
Not that I'm particularly good at making it beautiful, but music, in its own way, has that ability for me, and I think it does for many people. And I hope everybody listening to this is also looking for opportunities like that. Even in the midst of what is a bit of a scary time, we can find beauty, we can find joy, we can remember that we are a place that emphasizes hope and not just anxiety.
David Skorton: Wonderful words to live by. Well, I wanna thank Dr. Collins for joining us today. Our ability to turn basic research discoveries into clinical applications relies on the comprehensive work you, Dr. Collins, and your teams at the NIH, and really all across the country, and beyond, are conducting at each phase. And I'm so grateful for all the work that you do. Thank you so much for spending time with us, today.
Francis Collins: No, thank you, David, it's great to chat with you. And again, I think I'm representing an amazing team of dedicated people who right now, in the midst of this crisis, are doing everything you can think of to try to get us past it. And we will get past it. We'll get through this.
David Skorton: I believe in you and all the stuff you're doing. Thank you so much. And to all our listeners, thanks for joining us, and I'll see you all, next time, for another episode of "Beyond the White Coat."

The Northern Blues have ended their season with a heartbreaking 13-point loss to finals-bound Essendon at Windy Hill today.
After a tight first half, both sides cranked up the contest to play out an enthralling second half which saw a dogged Northern outfit fall to a 12.5 (77) to 9.10 (64) result.
With Essendon needing a result to make finals, Northern's spirit with 16 VFL-listed players was first-rate.
It was a game marked by Northern's physicality at the contest, against Essendon's willingness to counter and break the game open with speed.
Northern completely dominated the majority of the play in the first quarter, but found themselves trailing by 11 points at the first break after failing to capitalize on the scoreboard.
The contest turned into a stalemate during the second term.
Both sides were unable to break the shackles on the scoreboard, sharing the spoils with a goal each.
Essendon then put Northern's steel to the test, starting the second half with two quick-fire goals to shoot away to a 23-point lead.
However, Northern's response was swift.
Three goals in an electric five minutes football thanks to Chris McCabe, Jesse Glass-McCasker and Cameron O'Shea cut the Bombers' lead to under a goal.
A late free kick against the flow to Essendon's Aaron Heppell left the Blues trailing by nine points heading into what was a frenetic final term.
Paddy Kerr's miraculous solo effort had the Blues within a kick yet again. The forwards soccered the ball fifty metres, before half-volleying a goal to bring the Blues to life.
Both sides then traded goals in a pulsating finish to the contest. Northern had some chances to take the lead if not for some narrow misses.
Unfortunately for the Blues, they were unable to quell the Bombers' tall timber. James Stewart and Sam Draper sealed Essendon's win with two late goals.
Defensive duo Josh Hill (19 disposals, eight marks) and Mason Blakey combined brilliantly all day down back.
Captain Tom Wilson capped off another strong year with a team-high 37 disposals and eight inside 50s, while Nick Graham collected 33 disposals.

Most of the time, dog ownership is a joy, but some pets can be a little more challenging. To enjoy time with a dog, you must know some things. You can read about some useful dog tips in the following article.
Make your home doggie-proof. Make sure any area your dog will be in is safe. Place any meds or household cleaning supplies out of reach, and place any trash cans in a cabinet. Keep house plants out of his reach, especially if they could be poisonous.
Your dog cannot speak, so you have to interpret non-verbal cues. If your dog gets stressed when meeting a new dog or person, don't force them to meet. This could end up in negative biting or fighting behavior. Look out for non-verbal hints so that the dog can guide your actions.
Do not feed your dog "people food". This will make him want human food every time you have a meal. Overfeeding him will lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, too. Make your dog stay out of the room when the family is eating.
If you have an outdoor pet, build a shelter for him or buy one that is ready to use. Particularly if his feet get wet, extended exposure to extreme temperatures causes stress and can lead to health complications. Make certain your dog house has a good floor that keeps your dog up off the ground and dry.
Nip bad behavior in the bud. Ignoring it can help your dog to establish lifelong bad habits. The longer you wait to address the problem, the worse the problem will become. You need to make sure your dog is happy to keep them in control and so he does not hurt anyone.
Be sure your dog is physically active. Dogs need game time and regular exercise to keep them mentally and physically healthy and happy. Whether you decide to take the dog for a walk or if you're just playing fetch, it will benefit both of you. In addition to fulfilling the physical need for exercise, you will foster a strong bond with your dog that will last a lifetime.
A foster home is something you can provide for a dog that needs it. Animals are overcrowded in shelters, and the resources available for them are not abundant. Become a foster parent to test the waters.
A dog should not be left outside all day. A lot of people allow this, but dogs are social creatures that need other beings. A dog with no companions can feel very isolated and stressed out if he is left alone outside. Not only that, but during heavy rainstorms and snowstorms, it is imperative that you bring your dog indoors as well, to avoid the inclement weather and temperatures.
If you only have one dog and they aren't happy or can't handle being alone a lot, consider getting them a companion. Dogs love to be social and hate to be alone. Match them carefully based on energy levels and temperament.
Ensure that your dog will come back after being lost by having some type of identification tag. One thing a lot of people do to be sure they get their dog back is they fit them with a collar that's breakaway and has an ID tag. On the tag, make sure to include your pet's name and your phone number. Have you considered micro-chipping your dog?
If your dog has to listen to many people, he may end up confused. Everyone has their own methods, and experiencing a number of them can leave your pooch confused. Therefore, ensure that only one person is doing the training. The other people should only reinforce the person's rules and stick by them.
Make sure that your dog goes to it's vet for a checkup each year. Your vet can notice health ailments long before you can, and many of the tests he can perform will help to detect or prevent things like diabetes, kidney or thyroid problems. Giving your dog an annual physical can prevent unnecessary suffering to the animal and unnecessary expenses later on.
Being a good dog owner can be a lot of work, but it is also a very enriching experience. There is more to having a great dog than just choosing an adorable puppy to bring home. It takes some effort on your part. Use the information obtained here to enjoy your pet more and make him feel like part of the family.


Florida's Third District Court of Appeal has reversed a lower court's order to reduce a former wife's alimony award and deny her attorney's fees based upon her financial support of a man who resides with her. In this case, the Circuit Court for Monroe County granted the man's petition to reduce his alimony payments to his former wife after the court determined that she had entered into a "supportive relationship" with another man as defined by Florida Statute Section 61.14(1)(b). The statute allows for a court to decrease or eliminate an alimony award where a former spouse resides with someone who provides them with some level of support. Despite that the couple were married for more than 25 years and the lower court found that the wife received no financial support from her cohabitant, the lower court reduced her alimony award from a monthly payment of $4,200 to $3,500.
First, the Third District analyzed the statute at issue in the case. The court stated that although the statute failed to define a "supportive relationship," it listed 11 factors to be considered by a court when determining whether such a relationship exists. According to the appellate court, nine of those factors are economic in nature. The court also found that the Florida Legislature clearly chose to focus on the economic impact of cohabitation rather than the act of residing with a new partner when it established Section 61.14(1)(b).
According to the Third District, the question at issue in the case was whether a "supportive relationship" could exist when a court also determined an alimony recipient did not receive financial support from the individual with whom she was residing. The appellate court said although the wife was providing financial support to her cohabitant, her relationship did not qualify as supportive under the statute because her economic needs were not reduced by her living arrangement. Finally, Florida's Third District Court of Appeal held that a supportive relationship could not exist where no financial support was received by an alimony recipient. The Third District reversed the lower court's order to reduce the wife's monthly alimony award and reversed the lower court's denial of her reasonable attorney's fees.
In the State of Florida, a court may award alimony where there is a need on the part of the alimony recipient and an ability to pay on the part of the alimony payor. A needs assessment is normally performed to examine the distribution of marital assets as well as the former couple's standard of living prior to the end of their marriage. Although many factors are examined when making an award of spousal support, a Florida court generally will not award alimony if the potential recipient has the ability to maintain the same standard of living after all assets are distributed.

PhotoBiography: Mark Power
25th August 2017 Architecture, Documentary, PhotoBiographies, Photojournalism 1679
Mark Power, born 1959, Harpenden, UK
As a child, Mark Power discovered his father's home-made enlarger in the family attic, a contraption consisting of an upturned flowerpot, a domestic light bulb and a simple camera lens. His interest in photography probably began at this moment, though he later went to art college to study life-drawing and painting instead.
After graduating, he travelled for two years around South-East Asia and Australia. To support himself Power tried a number jobs (he was an English teacher, a television actor and a fish farm attendant in Hong Kong; he painted cinema murals in Bangkok; produced large numbers of identical paintings for others to sell as their own in the Australian outback (very questionable, this one!) and ended up running the camera department of a large chemist in Bankstown, in the Western Suburbs of Sydney). While travelling Power began to realise he enjoyed using a camera more than a pencil and decided to 'become a photographer' on his return to England, two years later, in 1983.
He then worked in the editorial and charity markets for nearly ten years, before he began teaching in 1992. This coincided with a shift towards long-term, self initiated projects which now sit comfortably alongside a number of large-scale commissions in the industrial sector. For many years his work has been seen in numerous galleries and museums across the world, and is in several important collections, both public and private, including the Arts Council of England, the British Council, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Milwaukee Art Museum, and Marrakech Museum of Photography and Visual Art.
To date Power has published eight books: The Shipping Forecast (1996), a poetic response to the esoteric language of daily maritime weather reports; Superstructure (2000), a documentation of the construction of London's Millennium Dome; The Treasury Project (2002), about the restoration of a nineteenth-century historical monument: 26 Different Endings (2007), which depicts those landscapes unlucky enough to fall just off the edge of the London A-Z, a map which could be said to define the boundaries of the British capital; The Sound of Two Songs (2010), the culmination of his five year project set in contemporary Poland following her accession to the European Union; Mass (2013), an investigation into the power and wealth of the Polish Catholic church; Die Mauer ist Weg! (2014), about chance and choice when confronted, accidentally, with a major news event – in this case the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Destroying the Laboratory for the Sake of the Experiment (2016), a collaboration with the poet Daniel Cockrill about pre-Brexit England.
In 2007 he tried his hand at curating. Theatres of War featured the work of five artists whose work is concerned with contemporary conflict and surveillance. It opened, appropriately, at Oskar Schindler's former enamel factory as the keynote exhibition of Krakow Photomonth, Poland.
Mark Power joined Magnum Photos as a Nominee in 2002, and became a full Member in 2007. Meanwhile, in his other life, he is Adjunct Professor of Photography at the University of Brighton, a city on England's south coast where he lives with his partner Jo, their children Chilli (b.1998) and Milligan (b.2002) and their dog Kodak.

In 2016, the Microwave Ablation Appeal raised £25,000 for a new Microwave Ablation Machine. We're so grateful for the generosity of our supporters, this couldn't have happened without people like you.
Microwave Ablation technology has pin-point accuracy to treat certain types of cancer tumours. It is often a patient's only option to continue their cancer treatment, especially if they have already endured surgery and chemo or radiation therapy. The treatment is minimally invasive, so no surgery, no long stay in hospital and the chance of a cure.
Thankfully with your support we were able to buy the team at the BRI their own machine and they've been helping patients from Bristol and the South West since July 2017.
So far, the new scanner has destroyed tumours for 14 liver cancer patients. The team are so pleased with the performance of the new equipment that there are plans to extend the service to patients with lung cancer.
"Ablation procedures usually only require a short general anaesthetic and post procedure recovery is very quick, with just a brief overnight stay. This means patients can get home quickly and frees up beds for other patients.
Here Sister Angelita De Jesus talks in more detail on the benefits of the scanner.
"I was extremely impressed by the ease with which I was treated. With the new scanner the radiology department will be able to treat even more people who can all benefit from a much simpler procedure than an operation with a lengthy recovery time.
Every time a patient is treated by this potentially life-saving equipment, a new probe is required. Each new probe costs £1,000.
Please could you help continue to provide this treatment by giving a gift today? We know it will help to save lives. Thank you.
The BHI Appeal raised £830,000 for the heart hospital.
Your kind donations have helped fund four Readybed Sleeper Chairs for the haematology department at BHOC.
A gift to Bristol Eye Hospital could mean the gift of sight.
In 2009, Above & Beyond's Heart of Bristol Appeal raised nearly £850,000 for the opening of the Bristol Heart Institute.
In 2009, the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre was transformed thanks to our £1.6m Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy Environment Appeal (CaRE).
Above & Beyond's largest ever appeal to raise £6m to transform BRI and BHOC.


In spite of the time that has elapsed since the end of World War II and the restitution laws passed since the post-war years, there are still works of art in state collections that were confiscated from their rightful owners during the Nazi regime.
The Commission for Provenance Research was established in 1998 for the purpose of systematically inventorying the state collections and unearthing looted objects. The Federal Art Restitution Act on the return of works of art in Austrian national museums and collections to their rightful owners (Bundesgesetz über die Rückgabe von Kunstgegenständen aus den Österreichischen Bundesmuseen und Sammlungen) was also passed in 1998. Under this law, confiscated works of art and cultural objects still in the possession of the state can be returned to the original owners or their heirs. The Art Restitution Act was amended in 2009.


Todays family adventure was the Chula Vista Nature Center. The weather was perfect for a fun day outside and I found a great deal on Mamapedia.com for a family annual pass for $35.00. That included 2 adults and up to five children for an entire year. I snatched that deal up instantly.
We had a great time wandering around the center looking at the birds and sea life. Corbin thought the eels were "monsters in the rocks". Ha! We saw sea turtles, fish, a huge lobster, sharks and rays and all kinds of birds including our national bird, the bald eagle. I especially loved the view of the bay as we walked along the trails. It really was the perfect way to enjoy the day and we look forward to returning soon.
I am loving Baked Bree! She has amazing food ideas. The latest one that I went "Ooh-Awe!" over was her Overnight Pizza Crust recipe. I loved the idea of using a heart shaped cookie cutter on pepperoni. Genius! I am so excited to give this a recipe a try for Valentine's Day and I know my men will love it too.
Everyone loves to receive a Valentine on Valentine's Day and this year I had a vision. I took the boys to Summers Past Farms in Alpine and made adorable heart props for them to hold while I took their pictures. Shutterfly has some adorable Valentine cards and with my gift card I only had to pay shipping. I think our family is going to love their Valentine photos this year. I'm not going to post the actual card, but I wont deprive you of some photos of our fun day.


[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]September of this southwestern Korean city promises to be filled with culture. Culture Ministers from Korea and Southeast Asia, Asian traditional musicians, journalists, leaders in creative space, world musicians, scholars and experts and artists converge in Gwangju for the creation of an Asian cultural hub and the establishment of the Asia Culture Complex.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Korea) is in the process of turning the city of Gwangju into the Hub City of Asian Culture. It is basically designed to promote exchanges among leading sources of culture in Asia on the strengths of each participating country for the purpose of achieving shared growth. The establishment of the Asia Culture Complex, due for completion in 2014, will be instrumental in collecting, researching, educating, exhibiting and performing related information.
To this end, the Ministry has been organizing Asian cultural events intensively from August to September each year. For this year, various events will be held for a week in Gwangju.


Just because you won't see a lot of leaves changing in L.A., doesn't mean you can't get in the Halloween spirit. Here are a few costume ideas you should consider, especially if you're planning on checking out Santa Monica's annual Halloween Pub Crawl.
Because in Southern California, hydration never goes out of style. Let the haters know where you stand by donning white and gold for your beloved coconut La Croix, or dress up in green to celebrate the release of the brand's newest flavor, key lime.
Zac Efron and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may have brought new life to this California classic earlier this year, but we're still inspired by the original cast of characters. Grab some red swim trunks, draw on a little faux chest hair, and you'll be ready to do your best David Hasselhoff impersonation.
If you're able to get in a few lifting sessions at Muscle Beach prior to Halloween, we'd recommend going as "The Austrian Oak," Arnold Schwarzenegger. Name something more L.A. than a body-builder turned actor turned politician?
After all he went through in the last season of Game of Thrones, we think the King of the North should take himself on a little SoCal beach vacation. We're pretty sure he's into poke and acai bowls, too.
Netflix plans to release season three of Narcos the day after Halloween– we're taking it as a sign.
Not feeling your most glam? That's why Snapchat made "the pretty filter." Craft your own flower crown, throw on a little bit of bronzer and glitter, and you'll feel picture perfect for more than just a fleeting ten seconds.

This man is the first African American to receive a full facial transplant
By Ryan Prior, CNN
CNN — Robert Chelsea just got a new face, and with it, he is the latest milestone in the burgeoning world of facial transplant surgery.
He is the first African American to receive a full facial transplant, with a successful surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. A black patient in Paris received a partial face transplant in 2007.
At 68 years old, he's the oldest person to undergo the surgery as well.
"It's a great wonder," Chelsea told CNN in a phone interview on Friday. "This whole process gave me a whole new dimension on seeing myself."
After the standard three months of monitoring in Boston after the procedure, Chelsea just returned home to Los Angeles. He's the 15th facial transplant patient in the US.
"Despite being the oldest face transplant patient at 68, Robert is progressing and recovering remarkably fast," lead surgeon Bohdan Pomahac said in a press release.
He suffered severe burns in a car accident
In August 2013, Chelsea was driving to church in the fast lane on a summer night when his car overheated. He was on the side of the Interstate when a drunken driver collided with his vehicle.
"My car went up in the air, and when it came down, it blew up," he said. The inferno burned Chelsea severely.
"They laid me on a gurney, and I closed my eyes to rest, Chelsea said. "When I woke up, it was six months later.".
After waking up from a coma, he spent another nine months in the hospital. He was released in November 2014 after undergoing more than 30 surgeries.
But his lips, part of his nose, and left ear were unable to be reconstructed.
So, he lived with a disfigured face. His business suffered, and many of his friends drifted away. For years after his accident, eating and drinking were difficult.
"I look like a Halloween mask," he said. "But there's no shame in that."
In public, people often recoiled when they saw him, but he says he remembered the Biblical admonition, "Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
"Kids often get shocked," he said. "But it's not a criticism at all. It's natural."
But he had an unquenchable faith for a better future.
The surgery took 16 hours
Nearly six years after his accident, Chelsea got a call in July 2019 on a Thursday at 9 p.m. that there was a facial donor available.
According to the hospital, the wait for a donor was longer than previous Brigham face transplant recipients due to the effort to find a match that would work for Chelsea's skin tone.
Because his new face couldn't be frozen like another organ, he had to act quickly, boarding a plane for Boston the next day.
They immediately began to prepare for the surgery, which began on a Saturday around 3 a.m., he said.
The procedure required 45 physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists, residents and research fellows, the hospital said.
"They had to strip my whole face, and they stripped the donor's face," Chelsea said. "There were many layers of skin. Then, one at a time, they put each layer on my skull."
After 16 hours in surgery, Chelsea had a new face.
People of color experience disparities in organ donation
Chelsea's godson Everick Brown told CNN that one of the best outcomes of Chelsea's story is that the issue of organ donation has "risen in the conversation."
He said it highlights the importance of "signing up to be a donor or to be a recipient, especially for people of color."
According to 2016 statistics from the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Minority Health, African Americans represent a disproportionate share of the need for new organs, in part because they're at a higher risk for conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, which can lead to organ failure.
While about 30% of those waiting for transplants are black, African Americans comprise just 13.5% of organ donors in the US.
In a statement, the Gift of Life Donor Program said that it was "proud" to have helped make Chelsea's procedure a success.
The group said that the donor whose face was grafted onto Chelsea's saved three other lives as well.
He dreamed of one day kissing his daughter with his own lips
Chelsea and his family are still reckoning with expensive medical co-payments, travel to and from Boston, paying caregivers, and the need for Chelsea to maintain households in both cities as he recovers.
His family started a GoFundMe campaign to cover costs.
"It's all exacerbated by him not being able to have full-time or part-time employment during this time," Brown said.
"These are major obstacles possibly to someone else," Chelsea said. But he's never lost faith, and one dream animated his pioneering journey.
"I look forward to when I can kiss my daughter's cheek with my own lips again," he wrote on the GoFundMe page.

Yoon Ji-su (,  or  ; born 24 January 1993) is a South Korean right-handed sabre fencer.

Yoon is a four-time team Asian champion and a two-time individual Asian champion.

A two-time Olympian, Yoon is a 2021 team Olympic bronze medalist.

Early life
Yoon is the younger of two children and only daughter of retired baseball player and coach Yoon Hak-kil. She was born and raised in Busan as her father was a "one-team man" who spent his entire playing career and part of his coaching career with Lotte Giants. Her father had been initially opposed to her becoming a professional athlete but relented after much persuasion.

Yoon was initially a taekwondo athlete in elementary school before switching to fencing in middle school. As a high school student, she participated in the 2010 Junior World Fencing Championships.

Career
Yoon was first selected for the senior national team in 2011 and won individual gold at the 2012 Asian Championships. She did not participate in the 2012 Summer Olympics as the women's team sabre was not in rotation and she was not ranked high enough to be selected for the individual event. In 2014, she was part of the team along with Kim Ji-yeon, Hwang Seon-a and Lee Ra-jin and they won silver at the Asian Championships and gold at the Asian Games.

Yoon won her first ever Fencing World Cup medal in October 2015, at the Orléans competition. She was joint bronze medalist with Ibtihaj Muhammad. At the 2016 Summer Olympics, she only participated in the team event but they failed to win a medal after losing to Ukraine at the first stage. She won her first World Championships medal when they won silver in the team event at the 2017 World Championships.

Q: JavaScript auto-incrementing a variable in jQuery and AJAX I have JavaScript using jQuery and AJAX which creates a dynamic array, which has some values used for AJAX request as below;
<script type="text/javascript">
var array = Array("y","y","x","y","y","y");
function updateBackground(cellId, titleId) {
    var i = 0;
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "ajax.php",
        data: {
          filename: Array(array[i], "testdata", $("#"+titleId).html())
        },
        success: function(response){
          $("#"+cellId).css("background-image", "url('pdfthumb/" + response + "')");
        }
    });
i++;
}
</script>

The script is suppose to submit values in the array in array[i] for each AJAX request. I made a variable var i which auto increments.. But the script is not working.. The script works well if array[i] is replaced by array[0] or array[1] etc..
How can I solve the syntax error?

A: Every time you call updateBackground() i = 0 (again). May be you must initialize i outside of the function.
What happens if   i > array.length? And I would rename the variable.

A: You don't have an iterator. Your variable i gets set to 0 every time the function runs. The increment at the end is useless.
Maybe you need something like this?
var array = Array("y","y","x","y","y","y");
function updateBackground(cellId, titleId) {
    for( var i = 0; i < array.length; i++ ) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "ajax.php",
            data: {
              filename: Array(array[i], "<?php echo $dir; ?>", $("#"+titleId).html())
            },
            success: function(response){
              $("#"+cellId).css("background-image", "url('pdfthumb/" + response + "')");
            }
        });
    }
}

A: Each time you call updateBackground() function, the i variable is being reinitialized. It's just a local variable and as soon as the function finishes it's being destroyed by GC. You could do something like this:
var UpdateBackground = {
    array: [..],
    counter: 0,

    doUpdate: function(cellId, titleId) {
        // AJAX request

        this.counter++;
    }
};

UpdateBackground.doUpdate(1, 1);
UpdateBackground.doUpdate(1, 1);

A: I think that you should send the whole array maybe as a commaseparated string and instead and make just one ajax request, because http-requests are expensive and change the server side code accordingly. And fetch the cellids as an array.
If you think that you have a long list or a table it can be like a lot of requests. Do the stuff in client code and do the stuff in server code and keep the number of http-requests as few as possible.
And use the join method on the array.
    var arr = [ 'y', 'y' ];
    arr.join(',');
// outputs y, y

A: I fixed it... Thank you so much @Jed, @Pointy, @Crozin, and @Lord Vader for helping me to figure it out.... :)
I just take var i = 0; outside the loop.... above var array like;
var i = 0;
var array = Array("y","y","x","y","y","x");
