Take Care to Give Care: ACL's Mission to Support Families and Family Caregivers
Posted by Reeve Staff in Daily Dose on November 09, 2016 # Caregiving
From Edwin L. Walker, Acting Assistant Secretary for Aging and Acting Administrator, Administration for Community Living
November is upon us once again, that time of year when family and friends come together to give thanks, to reflect on the many blessings we have received, and to remind ourselves of what is truly important. For me, family is very important. Families, in all their many forms, are the cornerstone of our society, our connections to the past and our bridges to the future. For persons of any age with a disability or other long-term support need, loved ones are often the main reason they are able to remain independent at home and active in their community.
Family caregivers are the backbone of America's long-term care system and are often referred to as selfless, tireless and courageous. Stepping in to provide care for a friend or loved one can be a rewarding and uplifting experience and reflects the very best in human nature. While family caregivers are all these things and more, they are human nonetheless. They are not immune to stress, fatigue, burnout or illness. In fact, research shows they may be more vulnerable in this regard. We know that, unless family caregivers stop to take a break, to care for their own needs, they are less likely to be able to continue in their roles indefinitely.
The theme for National Family Caregivers Month is especially noteworthy: "Take Care to Give Care." Nothing could be truer. Anyone who has provided care for another knows the importance of stopping periodically to take care of him or herself, something often easier said than done. Family caregivers must be encouraged and supported at every step to ensure they are taking proper care of themselves, physically, emotionally and spiritually. This year's theme is also particularly relevant to the mission and purpose of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) to "maximize the independence, well-being and health of older adults, people with disabilities, and their families and caregivers."
The centerpiece of ACL's efforts to support family caregivers is the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP). For the past 16 years, the NFCSP has enabled states and communities to build a base of essential services and supports for family caregivers, including much needed information about available services, respite to provide a break from caregiving, and education and training to teach caregivers the skills they need to provide care more effectively. In 2016, the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act expanded access to the NFCSP, making its services available to older parents of adult children with a disability. What is more, a new report (PDF) shows that the NFCSP has been a true catalyst for states and communities to address the needs of family caregivers in flexible, creative and person-centered ways.
This year, ACL continued to make progress in meeting the respite and support needs of family caregivers of persons of all ages with a disability, including those caring for people with dementia. The Lifespan Respite Program, created 10 years ago, received an additional $1 million in funding, allowing ACL to expand the program to two more states and providing supplemental funding to six states, allowing them to provide additional and much-needed respite services. To date, 35 states and DC have received grants to build and expand systems of accessible, high-quality respite services to family caregivers across the age and disability spectrum. The Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program and the Alzheimer's Disease Initiative—Specialized Supportive Services program continue to build and expand dementia capability in states and communities while filling service gaps identified by the National Alzheimer's Project Act Advisory Council. Presently, programs in 28 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are supporting caregivers through the provision of direct services including evidence-based trainings and evidence-informed interventions designed to support caregivers through support groups and respite services.
As the current Administration comes to a close, my ACL colleagues and I look back on all we as the aging and disability networks have accomplished on behalf of older adults, people with disabilities and the families that support them. We are excited about the future. We look forward to new opportunities to support our networks and to grow and shape programs and services to better meet the needs of families, family caregivers and the people they support.

Emphasis in Sweden has not been for the extreme length and bacon producing characteristics of the original stock, resulting in a more moderate type strain. Greater emphasis has been put on soundness of feet and legs, strength of top and ability to walk. At the same time, Swedish breeders have also attempted to retain a satisfactory rate of gain and feed conversion, proliticacy, and the mothering ability for which Landrace have become so well known. In recent years, Swedish Landrace have attracted attention in the United States and other nations.
Especially where more emphasis is placed on fresh pork and other manufactured products besides bacon. Infusions of the Swedish strain have been valued in American Landrace. They have provided a broadening of the genetic base and a correction of characteristics that were regarded as shortcomings by American Landrace breeders. There have also been exportations to other countries.


The present paper is concerned with the static and the dynamic mechanical properties at strain-rates up to 10 3 s −1 , of ceramic composites based on porous B4C infiltrated with molten Si. The static mechanical properties of the infiltrated composites depend on the amount of the residual silicon. The Young's modulus and the hardness increase, while the flexural strength and K1C decrease with decreasing fraction of residual silicon. The dynamic strength and the initiation fracture toughness K1D have significantly higher values than the corresponding static properties, and are insensitive to both the residual silicon fraction and the strain-rate up to u = 10 3 s −1 . © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The Virginia Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (VIAAA) Scholarship Committee selected Wakefield Country Day School senior Nile Patel to receive the Claudia Dodson Scholarship in the amount of $1,500.
The VIAAA awards only one Dodson Scholarship annually to a deserving high school senior in the state. Patel was selected out of a competitive pool of independent school and public school applicants evaluated on their athletic participation, character, leadership, and service inside and outside of the school. He will be recognized at the annual VIAAA conference in Roanoke on March 23.
"Nile is very deserving of this scholarship," said WCDS athletic director Mike Costello. "The selection committee was impressed not only by his academic and athletic accomplishments but also by his commitment to community service and strong interest in the medical field, especially nursing."
Patel joins eight past VIAAA scholarship winners from WCDS: former Rappahannock News intern Monica Marciano, Christine Pankow, Rachel DuMez, Michael O'Heir, Anna Clark, Maeve Dale, Shane O'Heir and Tanner Perry.
Dean Estes
Recent Rappahannock County academic and athletic standout Julia K. Estes, a sophomore at Virginia Tech and member of the Virginia Tech Women's Club Volleyball Team, has been named to the Dean's List for the Fall 2017 semester.
Julia hails from Washington. To qualify for the Dean's List at Tech, students must complete at least 12 credit hours graded on the A-F option and earn a 3.4 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) during the semester.
Black History Month at RCHS kicked off with a special performance by the Virginia Opera Company honoring classical singer Marian Anderson, who accomplished many "firsts" as an African American. By Shannon Grimsley
Rappahannock County High School kicked off Black History Month with a special performance of "Deep River: The Marian Anderson Story," by the Virginia Opera Company.
The educational work by Dr. Glenn Winters tells the story of Marian Anderson, one of the foremost classical singers of the 20th century, with an international career that spanned more than four decades, including an unprecedented debut as the first African-American to appear at the Metropolitan Opera.
When the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to allow Anderson to perform at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt arranged to bring the performance to the Lincoln Memorial.
On Easter Sunday 1939, Anderson sang to an audience of more than 75,000 and was broadcast on the radio to millions of listeners nationwide. Nearly a quarter century before Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech in that same spot, Anderson's voice transcended the racial barriers that she and many others faced, making her a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement.
Winter sports seasons are nearing their end and our Rapp athletes are making the most of their last few opportunities to create some excitement and bring home the wins.
Junior Panther Boys Basketball rates headline status this week on the basis of their just completed undefeated season. Coach Colton Ball's young team finished their season the way they started it — with exciting wins and crowd pleasing contests.
Going back to the end of January, the team closed the month with wins over North Fork Middle School at home on Jan. 23 and then at Madison on Jan. 29. The season finale was last Friday at Strasburg, and prevailing in the end by the narrowest of margins, the Panthers claimed a 41-40 win and sealed their undefeated season.

Coach Mylene Whorton's Junior Panther Girls' Basketball team also ended the season on a winning note, with a road win over Randolph Macon Academy last week putting an exclamation point on their season. Improvement was the name of the game for this year's squad.
Rising up through the ranks, Coach Jeff Atkins' Junior Varsity Girls' team had another split week with two more amazing games adding to what has been an exciting season. Late last week the JV ladies returned to the home court and pulled out a thrilling win over the Rams of Strasburg.
At the Varsity level our girls' team dropped two close contests last week, at Clarke and on the home court against Strasburg.
Coach Mike Atkins' Varsity boys' team hosted the Eagles of Clarke last week and played what may well have been their best game so far this season, putting up 65 points by night's end in a 65-81 loss. The team will travel to George Mason this Friday for a first round Bull Run District Tournament playoff game.
Last but certainly not least, our Varsity Wrestlers competed in the Bull Run District Wrestling Championship last weekend and, despite a squad depleted by injury and illness, managed to come home with double digit wins and one Tournament Runner Up!
Christian Burns went 4-1 in his 126 pound weight class and brought home the runner up medal for his outstanding efforts. Dalton Renner added three wins in the 132 pound division, and Ethan Leake and Matthew Sisk each racked up two victories in their respective 138 and 145 pound brackets. Coaches Paul Paratore and Kreighton Long are hoping to have their full squad back and healthy this week as the team prepares for the Region Tournament this weekend at Riverheads High School.

Toxic avalanche
Rappahannock County Elementary School students in grades K-5 are experiencing Team-Building Day.
Planned by the RCPS OLWEUS Bullying Prevention Committee, the activities are designed to cultivate and nurture skills necessary for effective teams as well as foster high self-esteem and confidence. Skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking are emphasized in fun and exciting ways, teaching all students how to interact with and encourage one another.
The schedule includes activities like "Rescue Island" and "Treasure Hunt," where students depend on one another to make it to safety over "shark infested" waters and rely on the team's communication skills to find the hidden treasure while blindfolded. Other activities included the "Balloon Sandwich Walk," "Hula Hoop Hut," and "Toxic Avalanche."

[20:32] < Bachstelze> what did you guys do today?
so that transfer came out pretty well? i'll have to pick that up.
Yeah, I could make some screenshots if you want.
nah, that's cool. i'll check out a couple of reviews first. i need to get it anyway, but i know that just because it's on blu-ray doesn't automatically make it better than its dvd brethren.
I got back from class.
I downloaded the torrents for 32- and 64-bit Karmic, to help out by seeding.
I added the 32- and 64-bit versions of Kubuntu and Xubuntu to my Transmission queue.
I woke up again and discovered that it was apparently German Appreciation Day in the cafeteria.
I returned and typed this post.
This has been a weird, uneventful Release Day for me.

Q: How to find a specific file recursively and delete the last line from all files found in linux? I want to find a specific file e.g. foo.txt recursively and delete the last line from it if the line contains a specific word (e.g. bar). Basically combine -
find . -type f -iname "foo.txt"
sed '$d' foo.txt

dir1 -
      |-sub-dir1-
                 |-foo.txt
      |-sub-dir2-
                 |-foo.txt
      |-
      .
      .
      |-
      |-sub-dirn-
                 |-foo.txt

Delete last line from all foo.txt files under dir1 if the last line contains bar.
Original contents -
foo.txt
1
2
bar

After deletion -
foo.txt
1
2

Thanks.

A: Use the -exec option to run the sed command. Add the /bar/ regular expression to check that the last line also matches that pattern.
find . -type f -iname "foo.txt" -exec sed -i '${/bar/d;}' {} +

Red Scorpion was a rather poor Spectrum (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0004076) and Amstrad 3D game that got fairly slated in the press. It was published by Quicksilva and is basically a souped up Battlezone clone, but lacking the soup.
The game adverts mentioned a C64 conversion coming soon, but sadly it never surfaced. Maybe this was another case of a 3D game which was too hard for the guys to convert to a C64? … It seems to be the common problem back in them days.
A lot of research required, as we have no programmer/artist/musician leads to follow up just yet. The only thing we know is that the Speccy and Amstrad versions made it, and also additionally that the game was originally called just "Scorpion" (See the adverts to see).

In this tutorial I'm going to help you find the best Blacksmith in the Witcher 3 and explain how to craft the strongest weapons in the game. Some of you will have followed my previous Master Armorer tutorial and many of the same principles apply here too.
By now you've probably claimed several of the school gear sets (Griffin, Cat and Bear) and maybe even some of the upgrade diagrams as well? Keep those close to hand because it's the school gear that unlocks the strongest weapons in the game, if used with the right level Blacksmith.
The key to crafting the best weapon lies in the type of the diagram but also in the skill of the particular blacksmith. Only a Master Blacksmith can craft the highest level diagram known as Mastercrafted.
In the case of weapons we're talking about Steel and Silver Sword diagrams from one of the top tier schools: Griffin, Cat or Bear. Each school has it's own bonus rewards and you should study the diagrams in detail to decide which school best suits your play style.
Once you've got the base diagrams for one of the schools, you can craft a basic Steel or Silver sword at any Journeyman Blacksmith. Then as Geralt progresses through the levels, and opponents become harder to kill, you should consider upgrading your weapons to the stronger types.
Players must upgrade in ascending order starting from the base weapon. First you craft the enhanced version, then onto Superior and finally Mastercrafted. If you inspect the crafting ingredients for any upgrade you'll see that one of the components is the previous tier version. So to upgrade to Superior you must own the Enhanced version of the sword.
Just like the Master Armorer, the Master Blacksmith remains a secret until you complete a particular quest. In this case, the Blacksmith is called Hattori and he lives in Novigrad. Working under the disguise of a cook, this craftsman is willing to make you some of the best weapons in the game if you help him out first. Simply visit his house and talk to the NPC to open up the quest option.
The exact location of the Blacksmith is shown on the image above. Nearest Sign Posts are Novigrad Docks to the west, or Glory Gate to the south.
After speaking briefly with Hattori, he would like you to join him in a meeting with one of the King of the Beggar's men, in an attempt to negotiate the supply of smithing materials. In return he'll craft you a "sword fit for killing gods". Accept his request and the "Of Swords and Dumplings" quest will be added to your list.
This quest is longer than the Master Armorer quest and unfortunately not quite as interesting. But that's ok because we're just interested in unlocking the Master Blacksmith option to progress towards the end game.
This is a recommended Level 24 quest and for good reason. Although the quest contains many cutscenes taking us to around 45 mins in length, there are many level 24 enemies along the way, all of whom are human opponents requiring a steel sword or a fist fight.
Another important point to note: the reward for completing this quest is a Steel Sword (in addition to unlocking the Master Blacksmith merchant). Therefore, avoid buying any new Steel Swords beforehand and make do with a lower level weapon. This inferior Steel Sword will ultimately be replaced by the reward for this quest thus invalidating the point of buying anything new beforehand.
Make your way to the docks area and if necessary meditate until after dusk (7pm onwards) to activate the next cutscene with Hattori.
For the next part of the quest you'll need to follow Hattori and then try and negotiate the costs with the King of the Beggar's men. The outcome of this negotiation doesn't seem to have much effect (besides maybe some XP) so choose to accept the deal early to progress.
Before you know it, you're under attack from Cleaver's boys, a small group of Level 24 dwarfs. Get your Steel Sword ready and make good counter attacks to save the durability of your sword for later fights.
Following the encounter with the Cleaver bandits, Hattori now needs personal protection - something that Geralt is unwilling to provide himself. So it's off to find Sukrus and engage in a fistfight to convince him. This fight is barefists only, no weapons and no Signs. Thankfully it's just a one on one fight with enough room to easily dodge attacks.
Sukrus now asks you to do him a favour. Speak to the Skellige merchant and convince him to pay his debts or otherwise destroy his goods. At this stage of the quest you've got two choices: either convince the merchant which requires Delusion Level 2 OR destroy the barrels using your sword and fight off the merchants in a sword fight.
To destroy the barrels simply draw your sword and swipe away. As soon as the first barrel is destroyed the merchants will attack you.
This sword fight is one of the harder fights in this quest line. You'll have to defeat several opponents at once to make it through.
Speak to Hattori and gather some men ready to ransack the warehouse for ingredients. Speak to the dwarf at the warehouse door and pay him 200 crowns to gain entry. Use your witcher senses to find the three creates and mark them with chalk.
Ernst van Hoorn is waiting for you outside the warehouse. He's a level 24 human with some lower level friends. Fight off the attack and move onto the final part of the quest and claim your reward from Hattori.
The hard work is over now and your reward is a nice little notification signifying that you have a Master Blacksmith at your disposal. But that's not the end of this quest so head back to Hattori and meditate a few hours for him to craft you a new sword.
The reward in question is a Steel Sword called "The Blade from the Bits". It comes with a +50% Critical hit damage bonus - quite a handsome bonus. The major downside is that this weapon will scale to your level. At the time of completing this quest the sword was scaled down to Level 16 and my other Level 17 gear outranked it.


Jaguar Land Rover has announced it is cutting 450 staff.
Three hundred managers will be made redundant while 150 salaried agency staff will also lose their jobs.
The firm, which was bought by Tata from Ford for £1.7bn last year, said the action was to combat the credit crunch and a "severe reduction in demand".
Based in Gaydon, Warwickshire, it employs about 15,000 people in Castle Bromwich, Coventry and Solihull in the West Midlands and Halewood, Merseyside.

Q: Can JavaScript Azure webjobs trigger based on additions to a storage blob? There are lots of examples using C# to trigger a webjob based on updated to a blob store (using C# method argument types and annotations). Is equivalent functionality available for JS webjobs?
The related azure-functions seem to allow this via a function.json file, but there doesn't seem to be anything for node webjobs.

A: Yes. Please see the BlobTrigger-Node template that is available in the Functions portal. Enter your container name, and your Node function will be invoked when new blobs are added to the container:
module.exports = function (context, myBlob) {
    context.log('Node.js blob trigger function processed blob:', myBlob);
    context.done();
};

You can also run the Functions runtime in a regular Continuous WebJob if you wish. There is a sample showing how to do this here.

Paris marks first anniversary of co-ordinated terrorist attacks that killed 130
Vivian Song • Special to the Toronto Sun
Nov 12, 2016 • November 12, 2016 • 4 minute read
PARIS — It's hard to pin down just where the city falls in the five stages of grief a year after the Paris terrorist attacks that killed 130 people.
The country continues to shuffle between bargaining, depression and anger in a year punctuated by rising racial tensions, a major economic hit, and another deadly attack.
So the new normal in Paris serves as a subliminal but constant reminder that we are still officially under a state of emergency.
It's now normal to come across groups of armed military soldiers patrolling the city streets, striking a jarring contrast against the picturesque, elegant Parisian backdrop.
It's now normal to be subject to bag checks when entering department stores, some grocery stores, museums, and major public events.
And it's now normal for subway commuters to be a little more patient with the frequent delays caused by precautionary investigations into suspicious packages.
Anna Escu, 25, recounts an anecdote about how she and a friend were having a drink on an outdoor terrace a few weeks ago, when suddenly a thunderously loud rumble pierced the air.
"Everyone on the terrace just panicked because it sounded like gunfire," she said.
It turned out to be a man dragging a large garbage bin down the stairs.
"We would never have reacted like that two years ago." Escu also admits to adopting new habits, including avoiding large crowds and refraining from using her smartphone on the streets. "I'm more vigilant and observant than before, especially in places like train stations and airports."
But beyond the small inconveniences the locals have been quick to accept, the events of Nov. 13, 2015 have also blown the lid off a bubbling cauldron of race-related tensions in France that extend beyond Islamophobic sentiments.
In the days immediately following the deadly attacks, the number of Muslim-related hate crimes shot up around the country. The same pattern emerged following the attack in Nice on Bastille Day which killed 86 people.
When the controversy over the burkini ban broke out this summer it divided the nation, with proponents and opponents on both sides making heated arguments.
And the dismantling of migrant camps in Calais and Paris in recent weeks and the relocation of migrants and refugees to different parts of France prompted whole villages to protest their arrival.
It's this wave of racist and anti-immigrant sentiment that Marine Le Pen of the National Front (FN), the country's far-right party, hopes will materialize into France's own version of Brexit and the U.S. election when the French head to the polls next spring.
Because Donald Trump's victory delivered a boost for Le Pen, whose political narrative mirrors that of the new president-elect: a rebellion against the elite, champion of the white, working middle class, suppression of immigration in France, and change.
Some in France bristle at the comparison and refuse to believe it could happen here.
Escu says the French tend to be more politically engaged than Americans and see their world beyond their own borders.
Besides, she points out, France experienced a similar scenario in the 2002 presidential election, when then FN leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, made it to the final round of voting against Jacques Chirac.
It was a shocking result that jolted the country and mobilized the political parties to rally behind Chirac — including the Socialists. Chirac went on to win the biggest landslide victory in French presidential election history, taking 82% of the vote.
But that was 14 years ago. Evrard Blaise, a silver-haired Frenchman visiting Paris from a small town in Brittany admits he was surprised to found out that many of his friends are Le Pen supporters.
Closet Trump supporters are also credited with delivering Trump to victory.
Though he says he won't be voting Le Pen, conversation with Blaise reveals a deep sense of mistrust and apprehension when it comes to the Muslim community in France.
"When I see veiled women, I think of of terrorism and bombs," he said frankly.
"And when I see them, I wonder just how much they hate us."
Timeline of the terrorist attacks in Paris on Nov. 13, 2015:
9:20-9:30 p.m. (Paris time): Stade de France — Two suicide bombers detonate separate explosions outside during a France-German soccer match. French President Francois Hollande is evacuated from the stadium. A total of four people killed.
9:25 p.m.: Masked attackers kill 15 at the restaurants Le Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon.
9:32 p.m.: Five killed outside the bar A La Bonne Biere
9:36 p.m.: Attackers kill 19 at La Belle Equipe restaurant
9:40 p.m. Three attackers arrive at the Bataclan during an Eagles of Death Metal concert. They unleash their assault weapons killing 89. More are taken hostage by the attackers, some hide for more than two hours.
Also 9:40 p.m.: Suicide bomber blows himself up inside restaurant Comptoir Voltaire, one person seriously injured.
9:53 pm.: Another explosion reported. Remains of a suicide bomber later found in the area.
12:20 p.m. Frence police raid Bataclan. Three terrorists are killed in shootout, two more blow themselves up.

Murder, Mystery and My Family
Case Closed?
First broadcast: Fri 12th Apr 2019, 09:15 on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: Wed 14th Aug 2019, 01:15 on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD
Top criminal barristers Jeremy Dein and Sasha Wass look back at their investigation of a rural case of murder and moonlighting in Ireland in 1894.
County Cork, Ireland, 1894. A man was dragged from his bed and beaten by two men. With serious injuries and a gunshot wound to his arm, he was discovered early the next morning. His neighbour called for a priest and a doctor, but it was too late - James Donovan had been murdered.
With little evidence, the police rounded up several known criminals from the surrounding area, and John Twiss from County Kerry, over 16 miles from the murder scene, was tried and convicted. He was hanged in February 1895, protesting his innocence.
More than 120 years later, John's relatives, Helen and Dennis, became determined to prove his innocence and enlisted the help of Sasha and Jeremy to reinvestigate the case.
Why was Twiss arrested within days of the murder, only for the police to then spend months investigating the case? Was there any evidence to link him to the scene of the crime or to the other man who was alleged to have also committed the murder? Were witnesses put under pressure to give evidence or to change their stories?
Helen and Dennis had heard the story of their ancestor's innocence told countless times, but did Jeremy and Sasha discover strong enough evidence to have this case declared unsafe by a judge?
Now, nearly a year on, the barristers catch up with Helen and Dennis to find out how they've been pursuing the case since the judge delivered his verdict. With an official pardon recently granted by the Irish president for a man convicted at a similar time to their relative, could the same now be possible for John Twiss? Show less

Sign here please! The revival of eSignatures
Leave a Comment / Digital Transformation, Digital Workplace, Document Processing, ECM, Information Governance / By Alan / July 27, 2021 September 6, 2021
Electronic signatures are far from new, they have been around for decades, but they have had something of a revival the last few years. A couple of years back, Dropbox bought HelloSign, and earlier this year, Box bought Signrequest. To be followed by Nintex's acquisition in June of AssureSign. Business documents and signatures, wet, dry or digital, go hand in hand, and logically one would expect all documents that need signing today to be signed digitally. But that is not the case, for despite eSignature technology being freely available many firms still use them infrequently, reluctantly, or do not use them at all.
One of the reasons eSignatures are not as widely used as they could be is the cost. Though Box's announcement this week that they are essentially bundling this functionality for free in its platform takes that barrier away, at least for Box customers. But a more significant reason appears to be the complexity of configuring and using these systems. It's simply not worth the hassle for many. And if they are to be charged on top, they don't bother. A further reason is a lack of trust in the systems. It's a similar problem that some enterprises see with cloud computing. The cloud or eSignature software may be incredibly secure, but people still don't trust them. That's a problem of the software industry's own making; it's not the tech, its trust in the technology vendor itself that is often lacking.
Even so, as we move into an ever more digitized world, more & more documents will be notarized, made immutable, and signed digitally. But eSignatures are not the only way forward here. Take, for example, the documents in an insurance or legal claim or, for that matter, medical records. In theory, at least, these are all records and should not be changed. Applying eSignature software to sign each record is impractical and likely never going to happen. In these situations, the logical solution is to mark them as records and automatically register them via a hash to a blockchain. Simple, cheap, trust is decentralized, job done. Despite being logical and straightforward to do, document and file management vendors have not done it yet. But watch this space because that functionality is coming, and it's something we are excited about. But until it does, we (including the admin side of Deep Analysis) will continue to use eSignature software carefully. We will also continue to pull out the pen regularly to sign and scan contracts.

Lytham St Annes Classical Association: looking ahead after the first three years
by Jayne Kelly
The Lytham St Annes branch of the Classical Association was founded three years ago by seventeen-year old Katrina Kelly, the youngest person to ever form a CA branch. The branch needed 85 members to break even - quite a tall order in an area without a university or state school teaching Latin, Greek or Ancient History in the area. It soon transpired, however, that there were hundreds of 'closet classicists' as the branch soon became the largest in the UK, with a current membership of 378 members, including 127 students.
Dr Michael Scott is the branch's inspiring President, fully supporting the branch's many outreach activities and delivering his annual Presidential Lecture to enthusiastic audiences each January. The branch has seven lectures a year; a Junior and Senior Schools Classics Competition, where student finalists deliver presentations on that year's theme; a Classics Ambassadors initiative where students promote classics and the CA in their local schools and communities; and the Classics Summer School Bursary Awards which enable local students to attend the CAHH Summer School at Repton every year. This year the branch has launched its Summer Treasure Hunt with members going on a 'Book Dig' to find classics books for the branch's bookstall. This aims to raise money for books for local schools who are studying Latin and/or Classical Civilisation for the first time, due to the excellent work of the Blackpool Hub of Classics for All.
Chair Katrina Kelly reflects upon the LSA branch's third year:
"We have once again enjoyed a great programme of lectures that has led us on a geographical odyssey around the ancient world, and we have certainly followed our President Dr Michael Scott's advice to take a globalised view of history. In March, we reached an exciting milestone by welcoming our largest audience to date with over three hundred people hearing celebrated broadcaster Dr Michael Wood retrace the steps of Alexander's journey to the East.
At our annual Celebration Evening in June, Dr Scott commended the 'incredible audiences, intriguing questions, endless enthusiasm and stunning tea and cakes!' at the branch's meetings. None of this would be possible without our dedicated band of volunteers aged from 9 to 90, and our student Classics Ambassadors.
Natalie Haynes with LSA Classics Ambassadors and student members from Runshaw College
To celebrate this work, over eighty of us took over a local restaurant on a cold January night and enjoyed excellent food, company and a themed quiz in our growing classics community.
This year, our popular raffle has helped us raise £1000 for our Summer School Bursary Fund which enabled six students to attend the CAAH Summer School at Repton in July.
As we continue to forge relationships with schools and organisations across Lancashire, we have extended our outreach work and increased our profile amongst young people. In March, seventeen-year old Harvey Phythian of Runshaw College won our second annual Classics Competition (where the finalists impressed a large audience with their winning presentations about figures from the ancient world) with his excellent presentation on Diogenes the Cynic, whilst nine-year old Jonah Crouch of AKS Lytham won the competition for younger pupils. Plans to extend our junior classics competition to other local schools are underway and we are also preparing a festival to mark our fifth year in 2019.

We welcome guest bloggers to write short articles for our website (www.lsaclassics.com), which are linked to the theme of the month's lecture or explore the writer's enthusiasm for the ancient world. Recent examples include theatre reviews, updates on university open days and a report on a trip to Vindolanda by a group of interested members.
We hope that more trips further afield can be arranged in the near future and we now look forward to 2017-18 when we welcome more excellent speakers, including Professor Joann Fletcher, Lindsey Davis and Dr Margaret Mountford, to Lytham St Annes.
We would like to extend our thanks to the Classical Association, and in particular to Barbara Finney, for their ongoing support and for a grant to help fund our Classics Competition. We are very excited about our plans for the next three years and if you would like to get involved in any way at all, then please contact us as we'd love to hear from you!"

In both commercial and residential leases, there is always the risk of lost income resulting if a tenant breaks a lease and suddenly vacates, or from the elapsed time for completing extensive repairs during which the property can't be leased. These are nightmare risk scenarios that can be minimized by conducting background checks before renting an apartment, condo, home or commercial space to a prospective tenant.
The steps presented here will dramatically reduce the risks of facing at a later stage, either tenant evictions or costly repairs.
You can run a Background Check online right now, by simply conducting a search in our vast network of Public Records and Proprietary Databases, here. You'll get top quality search results about your prospective tenants within minutes.
The implementation of a tenant screening process will reduce future problems with your tenant.
By checking on the background of a potential renter here at Investigations123.com, and thereby establishing the profile of your prospective tenant, the risks of experiencing the scenarios referred above become much lower.
The first contact with a prospective tenant takes place very often by telephone, particularly if the property to be rented has been advertised in a local newspaper. This is the right time for the property owner (or manager) to start asking the right questions towards the qualification process.
Does the prospective renter have previous landlord references?
The landlord (or manager) should also inform the prospective tenant of the monthly rent, security deposit or other up-front charges (if applicable), as this often will end the need for further screening if the person can't afford the rent being quoted.
If both parties are happy with the initial telephone interview, the prospective tenant will certainly like to go and see the property. This also gives the owner / manager with the opportunity to meet the prospective renter in person.
All such information provided by the prospective tenant should then be confirmed by the use of the database people search, here.
Past landlords and personal references are very important sources of information about the prospective tenant and his/her previous relationship with personal property. You can ask them for how long they've known the applicant and if they consider him/her reliable, their relationship with neighbors, any noise he/she (or pets) may have made that disturbed neighbors and whether the rented property was left in good condition, in the recent past.
If the applicant is self-employed / business owner, you should ask copies of the latest business banking statement and tax filings for the previous year. Then, you can also run a business background check, to confirm the prospective tenant's credit worthiness.
The signed application should include a Release of Information Statement, which will enable you to check the tenant's background for ascertaining if he/she has been truthful in answering all questions.
This last check is critical for determining the overall characteristics of a potential tenant. Furthermore, a comprehensive person background check will also determine his/her financial stability.
If a decision is made to deny rental, his/her application together with information gathered through the screening conducted here, at Investigations123.com must be disclosed to the prospective tenant as the reason for denial.
When searching the various databases available at Investigations123.com, keep in mind that earlier addresses, landlords, and roommates are often revealed in your Tenant Background Check search.
You can run a Background Check online now, by simply conducting a search in our vast network of Public Records and Proprietary Databases, here. You'll get top quality search results about your prospective tenants within minutes, via our 5-day risk-free trial.
A sample report for a Comprehensive Background Report is provided below.

10 Top Hikes in Michigan
Kristen Arendt//
The diverse landscape, scenic vistas and varied terrain of Michigan's many trail networks give hikers plenty to explore in the Great Lakes State. Whether you are visiting the remote and rugged trails of the Upper Peninsula or looking for a quick outing near the major metro areas, the state has a multitude of hiking trails to enjoy.
The terrain ranges from easy, wooded strolls through old-growth hardwood forests to the more challenging landscapes found on the islands and shores of Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and Lake Huron. With lakes, beaches, sand dunes, waterfalls and impressive forests, you won't run out of options on the nearly 12,500 miles of state-designated trails and pathways. Check out these 10 top-rated hikes as shared by the Hiking Project community to get started on your next Michigan adventure.
Warren Woods
Location: Warren Woods State Park, 73 miles southwest of Kalamazoo, MI
Length: 1.6-mile round-trip loop
Best For: A family outing in a beautiful old-growth forest
Dogs: Leashed
Although most visitors to this area will head to nearby Warren Dunes State Park, those looking for a splendid short hike should not overlook Warren Woods State Park. Located inland from Lake Michigan, the attraction of the park is not the vast lake, but rather the last remaining beech-maple climax forest in the state of Michigan. The impressive trees, a mix of beech, sugar maple and tulip poplar trees, have grown in some places to be nearly 100 feet tall and five feet in diameter. Designated a National Natural Landmark in 1967, the state park protects and preserves this unique ecosystem. You'll enjoy a well-shaded hike in the summer months under the canopy of these giant trees, as well as scenic views along the Galien River.
Starting from the parking lot, head north on the Warren Woods Trail. The trail is not marked, but it is wide and well-used so you should have no trouble finding your way. As you approach the Galien River, the trees increase in height and circumference; take a moment to look up to appreciate the size of the forest. After about a third of a mile, you will come to the Galien River Overlook where a set of stairs descends to a bridge over the river. Benches offer a spot to sit and enjoy the views, and you can learn more about the area from several interpretive signs.
Continuing over the bridge, take an immediate right onto the narrow Warren Woods River Loop. This short extension follows the river before looping back to the main Warren Woods Trail, where the path widens again and takes you to the northern edge of the park. The trail ends here, and you can return south to the trailhead along the Warren Woods Trail.
Note that the parking lot is closed in the winter months—you can park on the shoulder of Warren Woods Road and hike in when the main lot is closed. There are two picnic tables and a vault toilet located at the trailhead. Be sure to bring bug spray in the summer months and be prepared for the footing to be a bit muddy near the river as the trail passes through a flood plain.

Prairie Pathway
Location: Rouge Park, 15 miles west of downtown Detroit, MI
Best For: A family-friendly escape in the city
Rouge Park is located on the western edge of Detroit, making for a pleasant getaway in the midst of the greater metro area. With nearly seven miles of trails and other activities to enjoy, the park is perfect for an easy family outing. It features nearly 15 acres of restored native prairie in addition to a butterfly garden that is particularly colorful in the late spring and early summer months when the wildflowers are in bloom. With the opportunity to spot butterflies and other animals such as deer, foxes, turkeys and other birds, this is an ideal spot for young children. Amateur (and professional) nature photographers will also enjoy capturing the variety of picturesque views along the path.
Parking can be found along the shoulder of West Outer Drive, and the trailhead is marked with a sign and informational kiosk. The Prairie Pathway is a wide, mown path that is broad enough for two people to walk side-by-side. You can choose to hike the loop in either direction, and the trail is very flat and easy with only a few sections of lumpy footing.
If hiking clockwise, the trail loops past the Butterfly Garden Trail roughly one mile into the hike. This short side trail is worth a quick trip to enjoy the native wildflowers and to see what insects you can spot. Continue on the Prairie Pathway to return to the trailhead. If looking for a longer outing, you can continue your hike on the other trails in the park.
Green Trail
Location: Haven Hill Natural Area, 45 miles northwest of Detroit, MI
Difficulty Rating: Easy/intermediate
Best For: A pleasant outing passing through wetlands and woodlands
The Haven Hill Natural Area is a woodsy oasis located on the northeast side of the Highland State Recreation Area. With forests, marshes and lakes all nestled within the rolling terrain outside of the Detroit metro area, planning a day trip to enjoy the trails in Haven Hills is an easy undertaking.
Designated a National Natural Landmark in 1976, the Haven Hill Natural Area contains a unique mix of Michigan's primary forest types, including a swamp forest of tamarack and cedar, beech-maple forest, oak-hickory forest and mixed hardwood forest. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife and over 100 species of birds, making it a great spot for birdwatching. With nearby camping and plenty of trails to explore by foot, mountain bike or horseback, a trip to the area won't disappoint.
The Green Trail starts from the southern parking area located off of Moraine Road. You can hike the loop in either direction, as the elevation change is very mild regardless of which way you go. Older children who can handle the distance will enjoy tackling this loop.
Heading clockwise, the trail passes through a mixed hardwood forest, skirting several marshy and wetland areas and small ponds. In the summer, the trail is well shaded. As the trail turns north, you will have some very mild, undulating terrain to navigate. The trail is wide and easy to follow as you loop around the northern edge of Haven Hill Natural Area. The path winds back to the south through more wooded terrain before passing by the eastern shore of Haven Hill Lake. You will then cross Haven Road before the final stretch of trail continues south to return to the trailhead.
Northern Loop
Location: North Manitou Island via ferry from Leland, MI, 27 miles northwest of Traverse City, MI
Length: 14.2-mile loop
Best For: A multiday backpacking trip with incredible stargazing
Dogs: No dogs
North Manitou Island, part of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, offers a remote and unforgettable multiday backpacking trip. To get to the island, you will need to book tickets and take the ferry run by Manitou Transit Service which departs from Leland, MI. Note that the ferry may not run during inclement weather, so you'll want to pack extra food and be prepared in the event that your departure from the island is delayed (rare, but possible).
Generally, you'll need to be self-sufficient on the island as amenities are limited to one potable water source at the dock, a few designated campsites and one outhouse at the Village Campground. Once on the island, there are several trails to choose from, and you can opt for a variety of different hikes and overnight stays. A backcountry permit is required for any overnight stay, so be sure to pay for your permit before heading out. In the summer, remember to bring bug spray and sunscreen.
This three-day, two-night recommended route offers relatively easy backpacking. The daily mileage is manageable for less-experienced backpackers, and the gentle terrain is highlighted by stunning views of Lake Michigan.
From the dock, head south on the Classic Trail toward the cemetery. After about a mile, turn west onto the Cross-Island Trail, a wooded trail that cuts through the center of the island. The next four miles continue west through the woods descending to a second trail junction. Head north on the Classic Trail for a short way to reach the Crescent City Beach Access Trail. This sandy trail leads to the shore where you will find several backcountry campsites. Set up camp and get ready to enjoy a starry night sky—on a clear night, the Milky Way is dazzling.
The second day continues on the Classic Trail where you will encounter the moderate incline of the "Old Grade." This 1.5-mile gradual climb is the most challenging section of the hike. The trail winds around to the north of the inland Lake Manitou and onto the Maleski Homestead Trail. You'll hike past the remnants of the John Maleski homestead, where old farm fields are slowly being reclaimed by nature. Continue onto a steep bluff overlooking the lake where you can make camp for your second night. The hike concludes on day three with a leisurely three-mile hike along the shoreline to return to the ferry dock.

Potawatomi Trail
Location: Pinckney Recreation Area, 57 miles west of Detroit, MI
Length: 17.5-mile round-trip loop
Difficulty Rating: Intermediate
Best For: A classic hike in southeast Michigan
With over 40 miles of multiuse trails, an extensive lake and stream system, camping and a wooded, backcountry feel, Pinckney Recreation Area makes an idyllic weekend getaway. Located within driving distance of the Detroit metro area, you can easily plan an overnight adventure or a day trip to the park.
With other activities like fishing, swimming, kayaking and mountain biking to enjoy, the area is a fun place to take the entire family. The large main parking lot is located on the east end of the park by Silver Lake; note that the trails are closed from dusk to dawn. Remember to bring sunscreen and bug spray if visiting in the warmer months. Hunting is also allowed in the park, so be sure to wear bright colors as you may encounter hunters, especially September through November.
This loop hike starts on the east end near Silver Lake. You can complete the loop going either direction, but hiking counterclockwise is recommended—it's the opposite direction of mountain bike traffic, which makes sharing the trail a bit easier. If you aren't up for the full 17.5-mile loop, there are several cutoffs and connecting trails that will allow you to customize the distance of your hike. All the trails are well-marked, so you should have no trouble staying on track.
Heading north and west from the start, the Potawatomi Trail skirts forest that's predominantly maple, oak and hickory along Silver Lake before winding west around the north end of Crooked Lake. There are many stream crossings in the area, but most have bridges so you should be able to keep your feet dry during much of the year. If you're planning on doing the full loop, continue north past the Potawatomi Shortcut Trail, but if you want to cut about five miles off your hike, take this shortcut instead.
Continuing on the main trail, you'll loop around Gosling Lake before turning south again. The eskers and rolling moraine create a unique landscape that's a testament to the area's glacial history—it is not uncommon to spot glacial erratics (large boulders) throughout the park, so keep an eye out on your hike. This next section of the hike passes by many of the lakes in the area—notably Halfmoon Lake, Blind Lake and Watson Lake. The trail then turns back to the east to return to the parking lot.
Chapel Loop
Location: Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, 62 miles east of Marquette, MI
Best For: A remarkable escape to the shores of Lake Superior
A trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is a treat you won't want to miss. This particular hike has a sampling of many of the iconic Upper Peninsula sights—waterfalls, cliffs, coves, arches, sandy beaches and beautiful viewpoints overlooking the clear, green-blue waters of Lake Superior.
Designated as America's first National Lakeshore, Pictured Rocks is known for its towering sandstone cliffs and the remote solitude of its northern woodlands. You can choose to explore the area by foot on the many miles of trail, or rent a kayak or canoe to continue your exploration on the water. When out hiking, you'll want to come prepared with plenty of water and sunscreen, and don't forget the insect repellent—biting flies and mosquitoes are notorious, especially near the beaches. The area is also home to larger animals such as bears, so take the appropriate precautions if planning a day trip or overnight backpack.
This hike is highlighted by a pristine forest, spectacular views of the colorful sandstone cliffs, a variety of waterfalls and the hike's namesake, Chapel Rock. The loop starts from the parking area at the end of Chapel Road. If you're visiting in winter, the road to the trailhead is not plowed so you'll want to plan accordingly.
If hiking clockwise, you'll start through the wooded Mosquito River basin, heading toward Mosquito Beach. The Mosquito Falls Trail takes you past scenic Mosquito Falls before winding back to the northwest to the shore of Lake Superior. Here you'll follow a short section of the North Country Trail along the edge of the sandstone cliffs that form the shoreline. Take your time to enjoy the numerous viewpoints of the colorful overhanging cliffs, sandstone arches and wooded shoreline.
From Chapel Beach, cross a small creek and climb up to Chapel Rock—a free-standing sandstone pillar that's the remnant of a Cambrian-age sandstone arch. Although the arch collapsed in the 1940s, the beach and remnant of Chapel Rock are still picturesque. Once you are finished exploring the area, continue on the Chapel Rock Trail to return to the trailhead. Despite hiking away from the shore, you will still enjoy plenty of scenery on this wooded trail which winds along the southeast side of Chapel Lake and passes Chapel Falls before ending at the parking area.
Tahquamenon Falls Route
Location: Tahquamenon Falls State Park, 89 miles northeast of Munising, MI
Length: 5.8-mile point-to-point
Best For: A hilly hike to see several memorable waterfalls
Tahquamenon Falls State Park combines the unique, rugged beauty of the Upper Peninsula with the park's centerpiece, the Tahquamenon River. At 50 feet high and 200 feet wide, the Upper Falls of the Tahquamenon is one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. The falls can be viewed from an observation platform or, for more adventurous visitors, on a hike to the bottom of the falls or along the river for further exploration into the interior of the park. In addition to hiking, visitors can enjoy camping, backpacking, fishing and canoeing. Don't forget your bug spray!
Autumn is a particularly scenic time to visit, as the changing foliage along the riverbank makes for perfect photo opportunities. Keep an eye open for wildlife too, as moose, black bear, coyotes, otter, deer, fox, porcupine, beavers and mink may be spotted in the park. For out-of-state visitors, there is a daily admission fee that can be paid upon entering the park if you don't have a Michigan Recreational Passport.
This hike is best done as a point-to-point during the summer when the park shuttle runs regularly. Alternatively, you can arrange to be picked up at the end, or simply make this an out-and-back hike of your desired length.
The hike starts at the Brink of the Upper Tahquamenon Falls (a wooden observation platform at the top of the falls) before heading out on the Upper Falls Connector Trail which leads to the Tahquamenon River. You may be surprised by the hue of the water, which is a dark molasses color due to the tannins produced by the trees in the nearby forests and swamps.
From the falls, head downriver following a section of the North Country Trail, also known as the River Trail. Along the way, you can stop at several observation points, including a descent of 116 steps to a platform that looks back over the Upper Falls.
The trail continues with some moderate ups and downs following along the river, heading toward the Lower Falls. If it has rained recently, the trail can be muddy and slippery in places. Once you reach the Lower Falls, take a break to appreciate this interesting waterfall—while not as grand as the Upper Falls, the waterfall is split by an island, forming many smaller cascades.
In the warmer months, you can get up close to the falls and dip your feet in the river for post-hike refreshment. From the Lower Falls, it is a short stroll on a wide and well-maintained path to parking lot.

Dunes Trail
Location: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, 28 miles northwest of Traverse City, MI
Length: 3.7-mile round-trip out-and-back
Difficulty Rating: Intermediate/difficult
Best For: A sandy dune hike to reach the shores of Lake Michigan
A trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore gives visitors a chance to enjoy the best that Lake Michigan has to offer. On a warm, busy day you will have to share the impressive dunes and stretches of pristine shoreline with others, but with the many miles of lakeshore, the crowds quickly disperse.
Although the national lakeshore offers a wide variety of landscapes to explore, visitors should not overlook a hike on the dunes themselves. These towering sand dunes offer a unique perspective of Lake Michigan and also provide a fun day out when combined with a swim. Be sure to wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water. Additionally, even though you may want to walk part of the way barefoot, shoes or sandals are recommended as the sand can get hot on a sunny day, and the dunes have some scrubby grasses and shrubs to navigate.
This hike, although under 4 miles in length, is a more strenuous outing than you may expect due to the sandy nature of the trail, so allow plenty of time (at least several hours). Additionally, be aware that the climb back from the shoreline can feel more strenuous as you get tired—so if you're hiking with kids, make sure they save enough energy for the return journey.
The Dunes Trail hike starts from the large Dune Climb parking area. You'll start up the large sand dune—look for blue-tipped wooden posts that mark the way. After you reach the top of the first dune, the route will climb and descend several smaller dunes while overall trending down toward the shore of Lake Michigan.
After the last dune, you'll descend to the narrow, sandy beach. Take a dip to cool off on a hot day or enjoy a stroll along the shoreline in either direction before making the return journey up the dunes to the parking area. On the way back, you will have inland views of Little Glen Lake which make for a pleasant break on the climb back to the trailhead.
Porcupine Mountain Wilderness Loop
Location: Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, 75 miles southwest of Houghton, MI
Best For: An adventurous backpacking excursion with excellent views and variety of terrain
Home to an expansive and stunning wilderness, Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is one of the few remaining wilderness areas of the Midwest. As Michigan's largest state park, the nearly 60,000 acres is home to impressive old-growth forest, many miles of shoreline trails along Lake Superior, superb backcountry camping and many streams and rivers.
In addition to the nearly 90 miles of hiking trails, visitors should plan to stop and enjoy the scenery at Lake of the Clouds (which has an ADA accessible viewing area) and the Summit Peak Observation Tower.
Other unique activities offered by the state park include an 18-hole disc golf course, the scenic drive along Presque Isle River Corridor and, in the winter, a trip to the Porcupine Mountain Ski Area. The park also offers several overnight options, including campgrounds, cabins, yurts and a lodge. Be aware that black bears are frequently spotted in the park, so take the appropriate precautions when camping. Additionally, the roads are closed from December 1 into early spring, so check the park's website for current conditions.
This loop hike is a strenuous but rewarding outing that highlights some of the best views, memorable scenery and challenging terrain that the Porcupine Mountains have to offer. At just over 20-miles, this loop is best tackled as a multiday backpack with one to two nights at backcountry campsites (be sure to reserve your site in advance).
Starting from the Lake of the Clouds Trailhead, you are greeted with the impressive vista of the Lake of the Clouds overlook. From here you can enjoy expansive views of both Lake of the Clouds and Lake Superior. This popular viewpoint can be a bit crowded, but once you head out on the trail, you'll appreciate a more remote experience.
From the viewpoint, the hike continues on the North Mirror Lake Trail which heads southwest to Mirror Lake. From here, if you are looking for a shorter loop for a long day hike, you have the option to take the Correction Line Trail. If continuing on the full loop, hike southwest on the Little Carp River Trail. This trail is wooded and has some undulating ups and downs.
You'll eventually hike a short section of the North Country Trail to connect over to the Cross Trail. This four-mile trail makes a steady and gradual descent all the way to the rocky shore of Lake Superior, where several good campsite options and splendid views can be found. The loop concludes on the Big Carp River Trail, where a steady climb takes you up to the ridge on a forested trail. Keep your eyes and ears open as you can spot many waterfalls along the way. The climb brings you back to the Lake of the Clouds overlook where you can once again survey the impressive landscape that you just hiked.

Minong Ridge Traverse
Location: Isle Royale National Park, 73 miles via ferry north of Houghton, MI
Length: 29.2-mile point-to-point
Difficulty Rating: Difficult
Best For: A once-in-a-lifetime adventure
A trip to Isle Royale National Park is no small undertaking due to its remote location in the far north of Lake Superior. Access to the island from Michigan is via two ferries, seaplane or private watercraft; visit the park's website for details and to arrange your transportation to the island. (The island can also be accessed via ferries departing from Minnesota.)
Once on the island, your choices for exploring include day hiking, backpacking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, scuba diving, fishing and boating. Whether you choose to explore on foot or by water, the rugged and pristine beauty of the island is quickly apparent in the verdant forests and Lake Superior's clear waters. There is an entry fee for the park, and any overnight trips will require a permit. Due to rough winter weather, the park is closed annually from November 1 to April 15.
The challenging Minong Ridge Trail is not to be taken lightly. That said, the stunning scenery along the trail makes the challenge well worth the effort. Most people choose to hike the trail from east to west, as this direction is generally a bit easier.
Once you have been dropped off on Isle Royale at Rock Harbor, you will need to arrange transportation on the Voyageur II ferry to get to the start of the trail at McCargoe Cove. From here, your journey begins with an undulating climb to Pine Mountain. Along the way, you'll pass the short Minong Mine Spur Trail that leads to the remnants of what was once the largest copper mine on the island. Continuing on the Todd Harbor Campground Connector, you'll reach the Todd Harbor Camp which has a single shelter and a few campsites.
The next leg of the journey is a bit easier, with more gradual grades as you cross a marshy lowland (depending on the conditions, you may get your feet wet). Your next opportunity to set up camp is via the Little Todd Harbor Trail to the north connecting to Little Todd, a picturesque shoreline spot where you can enjoy views of Lake Superior from your campsite.
From Little Todd, the next segment of trail is the most challenging, with steep and sustained climbs and a few sections of technical scrambling. Once you've gained the ridgeline, you will have unobstructed views of Lake Superior and the rest of Isle Royale. The trail continues along the north side of Lake Desor, where you have the option to take the North Lake Desor Campground Spur Trail to set up camp by the lake.
The final stretch of trail from Lake Desor to the Windigo Visitor Center is slightly easier, but a long mileage day at just over 12 miles. The views are still enjoyable, making up for the challenging ups and downs. Once you reach the trail's end, you have the option to spend another night at the Washington Creek Campground or, if you make it to the docks in the early afternoon, you can hop on the ferry to return to the mainland.

Sadly, the North Country Trail (NCT), the longest National Scenic Trail in America was not included in this great list of Michigan trails. The NCT traverses about 1,000 miles from the southern border of Michigan at Ohio, thru the west side of lower Michigan, across the Mackinac Bridge, north to Lake Superior, and finally west to Ironwood MI at the Wisconsin border. It is the one trail that due to its length hikers hike in scenic locations such as small towns, urban areas, state forests and game areas, the Huron-Manistee National Forest, large lakes, old growth forests, rugged hills, Picture Rocks National Lakeshore and Lake Superior. Shoreline. And the NCT offers great online support for hikers with maps and trail data. The national NCT HQ office is located on the trail at Lowell, MI, just north of Grand Rapids, MI. The NCT is a huge challenge for thru-hikers as an end-to-end hike is over 6,400 miles and they would encounter multiple seasons and diverse landscapes. Most Michiganders within a one or two-hour drive from home can enjoy a day-hike or an extreme hike on the NCT.
Thank You for Speaking Up, and Highlighting Our NCT; Another Remarkable Greenway Resource for Outdoor Walking/Hiking in Michigan and it's Partner State elements; whether short, segment or any combination.

Home → Our People & Places → Vocations → The Permanent Diaconate → How Do I Become a Permanent Deacon?
Applying to become a permanent deacon is not like applying for a secular job or profession, but involves you and the Church, particularly your bishop, discerning whether or not God is calling you to serve His Church as a deacon. As you can imagine this process of discernment takes time, and commitment on both sides.
Here are the basic facts about training to ordained a permanent deacon in the Diocese of Lancaster. It's called a course of formation because its aim isn't only to give you the knowledge, competencies and skills to serve as a deacon, but seeks to assist you in forming yourself, through the grace, into an icon of Christ the Servant.
A one-year introductory programme known as the Propaedeutic Year, during which you, your director and ultimately the bishop, decide if you are to progress onto the Formation Course.
A four or five year Course of Formation, that includes being a student on Maryvale's distance-learning BA course in Applied Theology. This degree course is funded by the diocese, and involves a minimum time commitment of 17 hours a week in order to study modules and write assignments. The Maryvale Institute is an international Catholic college based in Birmingham that is expert in distance learning along the lines of the Open University. Ordination to the Permanent Diaconate occurs at the end of year 4, depending on the final decision of the bishop. The student may complete the fifth year in order to obtain a BA (Hons) in Applied Theology.
The Course of Formation will also involve a practical internship in a training parish, which is either a nearby parish or your own parish, in which you will gain practical, pastoral and liturgical skills.
Bishop Michael Campbell has issued the minimum requirements for admission onto the Diocese of Lancaster's Formation Programme, which are set out in the Directory on the Permanent Diaconate in the Diocese of Lancaster.
11. If single, have a settled stable life with a good reputation within the community. He must fully understand the charism of celibacy. He must understand that ordination would mean a life-long commitment to celibacy.
29. above all, he must be a man of faith and prayer.
Having read what is required of men training for ordination to the permanent diaconate your next step, if you so decide, is to either contact your parish priest or to contact directly the Diocese of Lancaster's Vocations Director for the Permanent Diaconate.

With a credit card, you can access instant purchasing power and build your credit score and. However, it is important to determine whether adding a credit card and its bills to your list of financial responsibilities is ideal at your specific point in your life, especially when you signing up for your first one. While issuers have eligibility criteria that outline age and other requirements, take a look at the three vital questions you must ask yourself to make a sensible decision.
Are You Financially Capable Of Repayment?
Credit cards make life extremely convenient as they help you buy goods or services immediately and pay later. However, you shouldn't forget that judicious use of a credit card demands timely repayment as untimely repayment can prove to be costly. So, when you plan to avail a credit card, especially for the first time, keep in mind that you'll need to repay the amount you have spent during each billing cycle. More importantly, remember that you need to pay each bill in full to avoid amassing interest charges. This also means you need to have a regular source of income that will help you make these payments religiously. Remember, your income must be much higher and not equal to what you owe on your credit card bill at the end of the month for comfortable repayment.
What Are Your Monetary Obligations?
As a responsible adult, you are sure to have financial obligations to tend to each month including rent payments, utility bills, and maybe even investment or insurance payments. So, give enough thought to ensure that your credit card payments do not hamper these outflows. This way you're sure that you aren't getting yourself in a debt trap with interest building up on your credit card dues.
Can You Pay The Additional Charges On A Credit Card?
While you may find a credit card that charges you a nominal interest or offers many rewards and perks, pay attention to all the extra charges you'll need to shell out. This include the annual maintenance fee, late fees, ATM withdrawal charges, charges on petrol purchase, and charges on lost cards. Though you may think some of these don't apply to you, it is best that you take them into consideration so you're not surprised later.
While good credit management can be a boon, mismanagement can lead to a cycle of debt that you'll find it hard to get out of out. So, if your answer to the above questions are 'yes', you are now ready to get your first credit card! However, if you have answered 'no' to these questions, it would be better to work on these aspects before applying for a credit card.


1 ! Whether it was Esdras , or anie other that gathered the Psalmes into a boke, it semeth he did set this Psalme first in maner of a preface, to exhort all godlie men to studie, and meditate the heauenlie wisdome. For the effect hereof is. That they beblessed, which giue them selues wholy all their life to the holy Scriptures.
1 a When a man hathe giuen once place to euil counsel, or to his owne concupiscence, he beginneth to forget him self in his sin, & so falleth in to contempt of God, which contempt is called the feat of the scorners.
2 b In the holie Scriptures.
3 c Gods children are so moystened euer with his grace that whatsoeuer cometh vnto them, tendeth to their saluation.
4 d Thogh the wicked seme to beare the swinge in this worlde, yet the Lord driueth them downe that thei shal not rise nor stand in the companie of the righteous.
4 ! And that the wicked contemners of God, thogh they seme for a while happie, yet at length shal come to miserable destruction.

Spirit of the Suffragettes is a summer concert series and community resource fair based in North Troy at Freedom Square. Heads up–this will be Saturday June 8 from 3-6 PM as well as every Tuesday July 16th to August 20th from 5-8 PM and Saturday September 21 from 3-6 PM!!
The century-old suffragette message needs to be heard and updated to be made more inclusive. Women, especially women of color, still struggle for equity in their everyday lives. We'll bring history alive with music, positioning the suffragettes as radical role models to explore gender imbalance throughout society–from music festivals to single mother households in low-wealth communities.
Highlighting discrimination of women, non-binary, and gender non-conforming artists, particularly women of color, Spirit of the Suffragettes responds to the inequity facing women artists. All-male acts make up the overwhelming majority of festival lineups; femme artists face pervasive under-representation in museums and galleries.
The community resource fair is an opportunity to highlight the organizations and opportunities that can support women and families in North Central Troy and beyond. Our neighborhood is rich in loving people, important history and ecological significance, but more than two thirds of children here live below the poverty line. Women bear the heavy load of caring for their families against all odds. We can still learn from the suffragettes, elevating the concerns of women to a statewide and national level.
Here is a list of organizations supporting our community resource fair!
Thank you to the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature for making this project possible!
And thank you to the sponsors and foundations helping us meet the matching funds required to pull this off!
In anticipation for the Spirit of the Suffragettes summer concert series and resource fair, Hudson Mohawk Magazine correspondent Cassidy McCabe is producing radio segments showcasing local activists and organization work that connect local social justice work to our history. These radio segments will be shared on the WOOC 105.3 FM Troy, WOOS 98.9 FM Schenectady, and uploaded to Soundcloud and iTunes for download and unlimited access.
