Read an Excerpt
Our journey will be to sacred, powerful Mount Shasta in northern California. We have bought our air tickets and we leave August 6, returning August 10. The big moment will be August 8, called 8-8, when powerful energies are coming to Earth. The Lion's Gate will be open.
What is the Lion's Gate? It is the opening of a portal where huge energy will come in because there are three powerful alignments happening. These three are the earth, the sun, and Sirius which, at that moment, is the brightest star in the sky. The earth will be receiving powerful Light energy from the power of the sun and Sirius at that time. If we realize this, we can align ourselves with this positive energy to send it out from the West to East as we fly home.
In order to prepare for my journey for next week to Mount Shasta, I connect to Mount Shasta who answers me.
Sacred Flames burn here beneath the surface. The Flame of Resurrection. The Flame of Healing. The Flame of Love. Mother Earth's heart is close to the surface here. The mountains were created by her internal fire. Take the Shasta Frequency and make it your own. Peace and Beauty, Love, Harmony and Healing.
So many gather here to drink the pure water, the pure love of the mountain, distant yet close. Always present. An honor to be here. The doors are always open. Think on Shasta and you are here. The frequency influence of Shasta is worldwide – planetary.
The basic frequency of Light (Life) is Love. Carry that through your life. That is the heart song of the humans. Love is the basic principle of creation. You saw the wonder of the Milky Way. That was my gift to you and to the group. Each one will receive more gifts as they give their gifts. Each giving one is a fountain of Joy and Harmony and Love – Light – Peace.
Peace, Love and Light.
Blessings from Shasta.
Radiating Love that heals. It is all very simple. The animals, birds, and sea creatures do it naturally. Their instinct is to love, to create. Humanity is more complex. Their thoughts shade the expression of love. Sometimes it becomes lost or dim but it reignites again. It is always there, the core principle, LOVE.
Blessings from Shasta. We are always with you in peace and in love.
Breakfast at 4:00 a.m., and then Joan the taxi driver comes at 5:00 a.m. to take us to the airport to go to Mount Shasta. Our first flight is to Chicago.
My seatmate is a young Chinese male student aged fifteen from Xi'an, and I enjoy talking with him. He is on a tour seeing Yellowstone, Niagara Falls, Hawaii. Wow. He says, in China students go to school from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., six days a week. His favorite subject is math and paper and pencil are used for calculations. He has an iPhone. He also loves music and he plays a guitar. His favorite sport is soccer. In fact, he is a goalie. We enjoy our conversation.
On arrival in Chicago, I disembark and say good-bye to my new friend.
Here, Barbara and I transfer to a plane bound for Denver, Colorado, and then another plane to Medford, Oregon where we will spend the night. Mount Shasta is our goal for the next day.
Today is the day of the Lunar Eclipse, 3:11 a.m. Mountain Time, 6:11 a.m. my body time. I celebrate it with my mind.
When it is time to leave the hotel, we rent a car and begin driving toward Mount Shasta. The roads are strong and curving and we go a long way up mountains and a long way down mountains. There is a forest fire haze but we do not see the fire.
Then, at a distance we see Mount Shasta and we also see Black Butte Mountain standing as Shasta's sentinel. When we reach the busy city of Mount Shasta, we make our way to the Visitor's Center. Here, we see three new Peace Poles standing at the entrance welcoming everyone coming to Shasta.
We phone Victoria Lee to have lunch with us and she agrees, saying afterwards she will drive us up the mountain. And yes, the drive up is amazing. We have learned that the upper drive has been closed to protect delicate spring flowers appearing now that the snow is melting. Later, we realize we are some of the first visitors to reach the top of the Mount Shasta's parking area. WOW!
This is the cover of our book.
Mount Shasta speaks to me:
The Great Mountain of Shasta welcomes you. That is why people stand in awe of the Mountain – the vastness, the presence of Mother Earth's heart.
Lighten your load. Come without agenda. Come as Spirit.
The layers of Lemuria are here, The Pacific rim, the beginning of the great continent that is here in everyone's frequency.
Softness, quietness, sweetness, gentleness, strength, focus, peace — allowance of all to grow and be nourished.
Nature is Glory. Nature is profound. You are a leaf waving on a branch — part of the whole. The Great Drama of Life on the Planet.
Move out to this wonderful day. You were already here before you left your home.
Love from Mount Shasta.
At the parking area near the top of Mount Shasta, I ring the Blessings Chimes for the mountain to acknowledge the great presence and power of Shasta. I walk to little flowers and draw with my finger Vortex Symbols on a recording stone beside the flowers. The stone feels pleased. I can see faint Symbols seemingly already there.
I offer the Vortexes to Mount Shasta and to the Lemurians living beneath Shasta. Also, I offer the Vortexes to the Sun and to the Whales and Dolphins who are present but in a higher dimension.
The wind comes up. And the Sun comes out!! I hold out the open first page of my Vortex booklet to the Galactic entities above and I say, "These are your Symbols!"
The Elements of Water, Fire, Land, Air, etc. receive and acknowledge the Vortexes. The wind blows. The clouds part to greet the Sun. The sun shines brightly, highlighting Light.
Now, cloud dragons appear in the sky overhead and whale and dolphin clouds appear.
As Victoria drives us down Shasta, I continue wondering about this magical mountain. Trees welcome us. Wild flowers, purple, white, yellow abound.
Shasta is happy.
While on the mountain, I have a feeling of the closeness other worlds, of Brothers and Sisters from other galaxies,
We have breakfast with Victoria at the Black Bear Diner which has delicious home-cooked food plus a MAGNIFICENT VIEW of Mount Shasta whose presence is expansive and powerful!!!
After breakfast we go to the nearby Visitor's Center to photograph the three Peace Poles for friends in Japan who strongly promote Peace Poles for the world.
Then we drive to the nearby Gateway Peace Garden to visit Mother Mary's meditation garden. Mount Shasta is in view. We feel great peace here and the feeling of the Divine Feminine. Many flowers surround Mary. Nearby we visit another Peace Pole location where we quietly sit in peace.
A bit further along, we visit the Quan Yin Meditation Garden that has prayer ties clustered on oak trees embracing the loving statue of Quan Yin. This garden is also serene and peaceful.
I softly ring the Blessings Chimes in front of Quan Yin, and Victoria says she can see Quan Yin's smile deepen.
Just after 12 noon, we drive to McCloud Middle Falls that has a HIGH VIEW, SPECTACULAR VISTA of the river snaking below. I ring the Blessings Chimes for the water, for the trees, for the rocks.
People are swimming off the rocks — humans in league with the mountain water – others perched on rocks and some diving off high rocks into deep pools.
We then drive to McCloud Upper Falls where I see amazing vegetation — large circular plant clusters. Beautiful!! They are Indian rhubarb.
I am with Victoria where we see the Indian rhubarb, and now we return to Barbara who is sitting at a picnic table with a group of French Canadians and Europeans. When we return to the car, Victoria says they are part of the French Canadian Telos Group. We know the city of Telos is in a higher dimension below Mount Shasta and so we immediately return and say hello to the Telos group. They light up with joy. They want to know about us and we hug and kiss. We say we will meet each other in Telos tonight.
In the evening, Mount Shasta speaks again:
The Mountain is the Light of the world, much like Mount Fuji for the Japanese. There is a softness about the frequency of the people reflecting the Lemurian vibration of the heritage of the area.
The Sun Disc here expands and moderates the frequencies — the Atlantean Crystal of OM that moderates dimensions and time. Telos stands as a Beacon of Light to return to. It is the operating system – kindness and compassion – inclusiveness – operating from heart space rather than head space.
If you can take on the wonder of the mountain's presence, you can step into the wonder presence of the Milky Way and the multiple universes to become lost in the vastness.
Light and Love, that is the operating system of Shasta.
There are Lines of entry – the Mary Line, the Quan Yin Line, the Telos Line, the Galactic Line – the cloud line, the fairy line – the angelic line, the Masters Line.
Sacred Geometry. Water.
Later I receive channeling from Telos:
Knock, knock at the Door of Telos. Yes, come in to share in the peace and vibration of Telos where all are equal in gifts and duties. Each offers his or her own talents to the whole.
Telos stands ready to accept whoever knocks at our door. You may enter through the heart. Your credentials are that you are a seeker, creator, lover and healer. The heart frequency opens the door.
The greeting is the smile that lights the way to open the path from one to another. To share, to sing, to join together, is the Lemurian way of living.
The Planet is revered and cherished. Mother Earth, Mount Shasta and other sacred places are deeply held in one's Soul and cherished.
The ticket to Mother Earth is rare enough. The ticket to Shasta rarer still.
The ticket to Telos is quite rare. Only given to those who seek, who resonate with the core principles of the Telos communities. No ego. No agenda. Just openness and giving.
To share in the wondrous gift of living on Mother Earth, send your own positive energies for the maintenance of the Health Life Stream of the planet.
The crystals give Light to the health of the planet — created by fire to come to the surface to sustain and enhance the power of Mother Earth.
Humanity needs to give as much as it takes. Admiration, sending Love, sending Light, offering thanksgiving for the strength and beauty of the Great Mountain of Shasta. Thanksgiving to the tiniest plant, to the grandest tree – from the rock sand pebbles to the greatest boulder – from the drop of water to the roaring swift moving stream which forms a great river to flow to the ocean.
Water nourishes Life. Telos nourishes Life by sustaining the High Principles of Life Existences.
To float and not to strain. To give, to share freely of oneself. To walk with respect on Mother Earth's surface. To cherish all forms of Life, each equal in their worth and existence on the planet.
No one better than the other. All are the same in Creator's eyes. Everyone has a say. Everyone has life to enjoy to the fullest. A great symphony of joy rises up for the Vision of Mount Shasta growing larger and larger in wonder and power. Each being offering a gift to the whole.
This is from your friends from Telos. You are sitting with us – heart to heart, mind to mind, no separation. Love dissolves barriers.
Love and Life – free gifts to all life on the planet. Enjoy. Spread your Light.
Spread your Love. The world is enhanced by your presence – everyone's presence.
The mountain gives strength and Light. The power expands. The Planet is enhanced. All are lifted up to a higher dimension.
This is Shasta and why everyone is drawn here.
In the early morning at sunrise, Victoria again takes us to the top of Mount Shasta. When we reach the top, we see a Native American drumming and singing traditional songs. We move to a nearby picnic table where I ring the Blessings Chimes.
A great hawk circles above us.
Now it is time for us to fly across the country giving out peace energies. The Lion's Gate is still open. In addition to North America, we also focus on Peace and Healing for the world.
August 21, a total Solar Eclipse will cross the North American continent. This will happen because the position of the moon crosses in front of the sun and diminishes the light. In the old days, and even in some places today, eclipses were feared because of the sun disappearing. It is thought that this is a bad omen.
I realize there can be a momentary lessening of the energy of the sun during an eclipse and it is time to roll up my sleeves before an eclipse to help increase energy when it will fade for a moment.
Shasta becomes the major Sun Disc to be considered when the Eclipse begins crossing North America. It is the first North American Sun Disc to be touched by the diminishment, the lessening of sun energy on the continent.
Pinnacle Mountain of Arkansas controls the Sun Discs of North America. We need to ask the entities in charge of the world Sun Discs to help increase Light energy at Pinnacle Mountain which controls the Sun Discs of North America. Automatically, when the Pinnacle Sun Disc energy is increased, this will increase the Light energy on all the Sun Discs of North America, including the Shasta Sun Disc.
The major Sun Disc of the world is at Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland.
We need to ask for help from the guardians of this major world Sun Disc. They have known me for twenty years. I need to share with them my thoughts of constantly energizing Light during the time of maximum Eclipse.
Yes, we are busy preparing for the Eclipse. And we have been contacting people who can help. We have phoned Germany and Switzerland and we have notified Kim of Canada and Victoria Lee of Mount Shasta.
Then we drive a short way to Mendon Ponds which has powerful positive energy built up over millions of years when Mother Earth only experienced positive energies. As the Eclipse is in full force, we will send this positive energy across the North America. Especially, we will send it to Shasta.
Also from Barbara:
I wake at 6:30 a.m. after a good night's sleep. Today is the beginning of the Eclipse and the daylight shows me a clear sky, cool, 63 degrees Fahrenheit, a slight breeze. I turn on soft music, dress, and then put in my hands a North American Sun Disc map showing twelve locations. I speak to the guardians of Rosslyn Chapel and ask them to join me in concentrating on giving powerful Light to these twelve locations.
I know the Eclipse will not touch the North America continent for several hours. Rochester, New York State, our location, is far from Mount Shasta where people will begin meditating at 12:06 p.m., the moment the Eclipse appears.
Margaret and I closely watch the time. When it arrives, we are expecting enormous power because of the number of people sending positive energy to counter the Eclipse. And yes, the positive energy is ENORMOUS. It shakes us to our roots. We had not realized it would be so huge.
We know the Eclipse will not reach our area for a time. We watch the clock, and when the Eclipse begins to come close, we look out the windows to see a multitude of leaves happily basking in the sun. These leaves show little movement. The wind has diminished to almost nothing and the sun is still shining brightly on the leaves.
At. 2:00 p.m., the wind completely stops. Now the sky is not dark, but the sun does not shine. The Eclipse is here. We watch, and when the Eclipse is over, the quiet leaves begin to slightly move. But the energy feels low. I continually send out the words of Love, Love, Love. Although I know the biggest love energy comes from the sun, it remains low, so I must substitute by saying the words over and over again — Love, Love, Love.
The daylight continues to remain dull. Not dark, not overcast. Within me, I see WHITE LIGHT. My body is White Light. I know powerful positive energies have been spread across the land. I know we can expect changes for the Earth because of an Eclipse, but I also know that many, many across the world have injected a flow of positive energy into this disruption.
Also, by means of Sun Discs, I know the Rosslyn Chapel guardians have used massive Light energy coming from those meditating to help spread powerful energy across the world.

According to experts ethanol metabolism plays major role in alcohol carcinogenesis and increases risk of cancer by 11 percent.
You thought drinking after a hard day at work helped you relax? Think again. If a new study is to be believed, drinking just one glass of beer or wine a day could give you skin cancer.
According to the team lead by dermatologist Dr Eunyoung Cho of Brown University, any type of alcoholic beverage raises the likelihood of developing two forms of cancer. Every daily 10 gram shot increased participant’s risk of one type of skin cancer by 11 percent while the other was increased by seven percent.
The researchers claim that the chemicals released when alcohol is broken down by the boy are to be blamed.
Dr Eunyoung Cho said that given the high prevalence of skin cancer and alcohol consumption, modifying alcohol behaviour could help in reducing global non-melanoma skin cancer.
This is the same team, which last year carried out a test coming to the conclusion that a daily glass of white wine increased the risk of melanoma, the third and deadliest type of the disease, by 13 percent.
According to Dr Cho, it is the ethanol metabolism which plays a major role in alcohol carcinogenesis.
The study published in the British Journal of Dermatology.

Update: The Associated Press is now reporting that Carrie Fisher is in the intensive care unit, according to her brother.
Actress Carrie Fisher, 60, is reported to be in critical condition Friday after suffering a "cardiac episode" during a flight from London to Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The actress, who first rose to fame for her portrayal of Princess Leia in 1977's "Star Wars," was reportedly traveling from London to Los Angeles on a book tour. She reprised the role in the franchise's subsequent sequels, most recently in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" where Fisher acted alongside her daughter, Billie Lourd.
Three months before the film's release, Fisher visited Portland during Rose City Comic Con.
TMZ and other news outlets have reported that people on board the flight administered CPR.
Actress Anna Akanna was on Fisher's flight Friday morning. She tweeted about the incident.
Fisher was rushed to the hospital shortly after her flight landed around noon in Los Angeles.

The Naperville Men's Glee Club is organizing what it calls "NMGC Voices of Hope," a short-term volunteer chorus of men and women touched by cancer.
The community outreach project is part of the club's 25th anniversary commemoration and will involve area singers coming together to inspire hope and experience the rewards of musical performance.
Cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, family members and other singers are invited to join and experience the fellowship which develops through song. There is no cost to participate.
The chorus will start weekly one-hour rehearsals at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, at The Church of The Brethren, 1020 W. Jefferson Ave., Naperville.
The concert is at 3 p.m. April 28 at Wentz Concert Hall on the campus of North Central College in downtown Naperville. The Boys Choir from The Young Naperville Singers also will perform. Ticket information will be available in April.
Conductor Bonnie Klee Roberts will lead "Voices of Hope" along with Assistant Director Steven Schroeder Jr.
"There will be a wide variety of four-part music for the group to sing in the first rehearsal," Roberts said. "We'll see what 'clicks' for them and what doesn't. There will be only nine rehearsals after the first one and we want to be sure we will have a powerful concert on April 28."
"It's important for people to understand this concert is not intended to be a fundraiser for cancer," Roberts said. "The purpose is to gather people who have, or have had a role in the fight against cancer and to provide an opportunity for them to feel the inspiration, thrill and deep affection for life that comes through weekly group singing.
"It's the opportunity to do something new, and we want to share the sense of renewal that comes from participating in rehearsals together. NMGC is using this project to say 'Thank you' for 25 years of fabulous community support -- here's something we'd like to share as evidence of our gratitude. The money we have raised and will continue to look for provides this opportunity at absolutely no cost to the singers."
The Glee Club is expecting a chorus of more than 200 men and women. Many already have enrolled but interested singers may signup at www.nmgc.org or attend the Feb. 23 rehearsal. Additional information is available by calling (630) 448-0518.
The "NMGC Voices of Hope" project is supported, in part, by the Naperville SECA Fund, The Illinois Arts Council, The DuPage Community Foundation and Genentech.

Brett Ratner - Selected Photos from Hilhaven Lodge Photo Booth
23.6 x 16.5 cm
Red-hot Hollywood director Brett Ratner lives in Ingrid Bergman’s old manse, Hillhaven Lodge. And in this house Ratner has an old-fashion, black-and-white photo booth. And into this photo booth Ratner has enticed a cornucopia of white-hot celebrities, outsized personalities, and rare public legends, all of whom voluntarily vogued, posed, and made silly faces without makeup, wardrobe, or lighting, in four quick shots. The result is a hilarious and revealing look at generally famous people being…silly and, well, normal.
Hillhaven Lodge: The Photo Booth Pictures is comprised of wacky and outrageous picture strips of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Colin Farrell, Heath Ledger, Heidi Klum, Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Tucker, Kim Cattrall, Jackie Chan, Dino De Laurentiis, Clive Davis, Aaliyah, Edward Norton, Salma Hayek, Quincy Jones, Ralph Fiennes, Rod Stewart, Val Kilmer, Liv Tyler, Harvey Keitel, Jay-Z, John C. Reilly, Russell Simmons, Nicolas Cage, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Jack Osbourne, Paris Hilton, Tommy Hilfiger, Tony Shafrazi, Mariah Carey, Matthew McConaughey, Chelsea Clinton, Rebecca Gayheart, Norman Lear, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robert Downey Jr., and many, many more!
“Here is a young director, an artist, whose films have grossed into the stratosphere, whose dance card is filled for years to come to maestro most anything he wishes. Yeah, but that isn’t as important to him as taking the many friends he has embraced at his home into a simple photo booth he has set up—no more sophisticated than one you would see at an arcade, and snapping strips of pictures. No lighting, no makeup, no airbrush, just a photographic remembrance of time spent together. It is the only book of photography I have ever seen that captures personas—especially Hollywood personalities—this candidly…Like its creator, Hillhaven Lodge: The Photo Booth Pictures is a one-of-a-kind that only a kid with extraordinary vision and totally devoid of pretense could have pulled off.” —Robert Evans

Home » Dept. of Energy Suspends Work on FutureGen 2.0
The U.S. Dept. of Energy has pulled out of the $1.65-billion FutureGen carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) demonstration project in Meredosia, Ill. striking a perhaps fatal blow to the project just as it was gearing up to begin construction.
A DOE official said on Feb. 4 that the project had not achieved sufficient progress in securing additional financing to supplement the $1 billion allocated by DOE through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Those unused funds have been returned to the Treasury Dept. to the benefit of taxpayers, said Chris Smith, DOE’s assistant secretary for fossil energy.
“When we looked at the progress the Alliance was making, it became simply clear that the Alliance would not be successful in getting financial close in a timeframe that would be consistent with being able to expend those [ARRA] funds before the deadline,” he said, speaking at a conference sponsored by the Global CCS Institute. He added, “This is very unfortunate for us. This was a project that we certainty pushed very hard to succeed.”
The project’s backers, which include several coal companies under the umbrella of the non-profit FutureGen Alliance, had planned to upgrade a powerplant in Meredosia with oxy-combustion technology to capture approximately 1.1 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. It would have been the only project in the world to demonstrate the viability of oxy-combustion at a powerplant at commercial scale coupled with deep saline geologic storage.
Babcock & Wilcox had been providing front-end engineering and design on the oxy-coal combustion system as well as other control systems.
Most other projects that are being built in North America are using either precombustion-integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technologies, or postcombustion CCS.
Ken Humphreys, CEO of the FutureGen Alliance, said in an emailed statement, “Despite the Alliance’s commitment to advancing carbon capture and storage technology and cleaner energy from coal, as well as our belief that there are solutions to address the impending deadline, the Alliance must comply with DOE’s directive.”
The decision to suspend the project is a major setback for a technology struggling to become mainstream in the power sector. Advocates who support clean coal say CCS is the only way to achieve the reductions in emissions required under the Obama administration’s Climate Action plan. But CCS remains expensive, and critics contend that it has not been adequately demonstrated in the power sector at commercial scale.
Christine Tezak, managing director for research at ClearView Energy Partners, LLC, a Washington, D.C. based firm that analyzes risks for investors, said at the Feb. 4 conference that the financial sector is balking at investing in CCS projects. That is due partially to the low costs of gas, as well as a perceived preference by the current administration for non-fossil fuels, she said.
“The DOE”s withdrawal of $1 billion from FutureGen instead of seeking to renegotiate the terms in order to move that project forward is the latest and perhaps most public policy action to show how challenged the prospects for actual investment are,” she said.
In order to turn the investment community around, a technological breakthrough that would bring costs down considerably is needed, she added.
A joint venture of Skanska, Corman Kokosing Construction Co. and McLean Contracting Co. is moving toward an early 2020 construction start for a $463-million replacement for a 79-year-old bridge across the Potomac River, south of Washington, D.C.


Honda announces new global plans
Next-gen Honda Civic Concept.
In his first official speech, Honda’s new CEO Takahiro Hachigo has announced the company’s new plans for its six-region global operations, along with the future models to expect from the company.
Takahiro said that Honda would develop its matrix management system in each of the six-regions so that each region’s production capacity could be expanded to focus on complete global operations. Each of the six regions would be developed to increase production capacity and established sales, development and purchasing functions, allowing them to manufacture exclusive models tailored to suit each region. The main headquarters would also be upgraded for better inter-regional relationships. An example of this would be the next-gen Civic which will be built in Europe and exported to the US, while the Jazz would be built in Japan and exported to Europe and America.
In the field of product development, he said that the upcoming next-gen Civic would get a
line-up of downsized turbo-charged engines, and a new platform. Takahiro also stated that, in the future, core products like the Accord and CR-V would undergo a full-model change in the future with the new cars expected to be more attractive that will come loaded with the latest tech, and will offer better competition in the market. He also said that by the end of the fiscal year 2015-16, the company would also launch the successor to the FCX Clarity in the Japanese market.
An important piece of news he revealed was that Nigeria would become the first African country to assemble Honda cars, with local assembly for the Accord to start sometime in July. In other news, Takahiro said that Honda would start deliveries of its HF120 jet engines and HondaJet light business jet aircrafts later this year.
In India, Honda is set to launch the new Accord sometime next year, and will initially only come with a petrol engine, with a possibility of getting a hybrid powertrain in the future. The company is also developing a new 7-seater small SUV for the Indian market called the BR-V and is expected to showcase the model at the Auto Expo 2016. The SUV will be based on the same platform as the Mobilio and is expected to get the same engines as well, when launched next year.

Second time’s a charm.
Here is an excellent comprehensive review of modern radiation and surgical techniques to address the unpleasant situation of recurrent, previously-irradiated spine mets. First up is the safe option for conventional treatment (e.g., 8 Gy x 1) with some degree of pain relief expected in roughly half of patients (complete response more like 10%), typically achieved 3-5 weeks out with a duration of 15-22 weeks. Then there is the option for spine radiosurgery, whose merits really shine in the setting of complicated recurrence. Finally, it’s a must to include neurosurgical colleagues as surgical intervention may be the best and only way to avoid paralysis with cord compression by a proven-radioresistant tumor. TBL: Table 3 is a print-out and tape-on-the-wall table graphing out spinal cord tolerances based on previous and current prescribed doses. | Kotecha, Neurooncol Pract 2020

Limited Company Buy to Let mortgages - get a map before entering the woods!
Everyone is asking about whether or not you should wrap your new BTL purchase in a limited company wrapper and avoid the tax changes that are begining to bite for the higher rate tax payers who hold their portfolio in their individual names. It is not a simple answer! It depends on so many factors including earning capacity, what you are going to do with the property and how much rental income you are receiving at the moment.
The most important though is your future plans. Without a plan in place it is very difficult to advise any client and if you are contemplating returning to the BTL market or dipping your toe for the first time, my advice would be to get a blank piece of paper and work out what it is that you want out of this.
Your answers could be:-
Sole source of income
Want to give up the day job to concentrate wjolly on property
Supplement the pension
Provide a pension
Buy something for the kids/grandchildren
Leave the kids an inheritance
Once you have this then go and speak to your accountant or better still go and speak to an accountant who specialises in helping the BTL investor - if you need recommendation then just drop me an e mail.
Once you have done that then it's time to look at mortgages. The BTL space for limited company mortgages is slowly but surely begining to gain some traction and recently Kensington Mortgages and The Mortgage Lender have decided the time is now right to enter the market. They have beaten Nationwide Building Society's BTL lending arm The Mortgage Works to the market as TMW still continue to be unable to state when they will finish their pilot and offer limited company BTLs to the whole of the market. July was meant to be the launch date but still no catagoric word from them.
So in summary, the market is good at the moment with more and more choice for the limited company BTL and once TMW open themselves up then I am sure that there will be other lenders out there who will follow suit. But for goodness sake make sure you have a map before you enter the woods!

But it may be small consolation:
The study, Climate Change in the American Mind, which was released in December, found that 46 percent of those surveyed said they had personally experienced the effects of global warming, two-thirds said global warming is affecting weather in the United States and more than half said warming has made natural disasters such as wildfires and hurricanes worse.
That change is evident in North Carolina, where record rainfalls statewide and the devastating effects of natural disasters, especially the repeated inundation of eastern North Carolina from hurricanes, has helped change the dialogue from one of questioning whether climate change is happening to what can be done about it.
Probably doesn't need to be said, but we all knew that, eventually, the catastrophic effects of Climate Change would become overwhelmingly obvious to even the most hard-headed deniers. But of course by that time, it really would be too late to stop it. I expected (maybe naively) that would happen in 2035-2040 or so. I'm afraid I was wrong. Methane buildup in the atmosphere is a game-changer:

Mercury occurs naturally in the environment and can also be released into the air through industrial pollution. Mercury falls from the air and can accumulate in streams and oceans and is turned into methyl mercury in the water.
Track your pregnancy
Get expert guidance and personalized insights to stay healthy through every week of your pregnancy.Get the app!
It is this type of mercury that can be harmful to your unborn baby or young child. Fish absorb the methylmercury as they feed in these waters and so it builds up in them. It builds up more in some types of fish and shellfish than in others, depending on what the fish eat, which is why the levels vary.
If you regularly eat types of fish that are high in methylmercury, it can accumulate in your bloodstream over time. Methylmercury is removed from the body naturally, but it may take over a year for the levels to drop significantly. Thus, it may be present in a woman even before she becomes pregnant. This is the reason why women who are trying to become pregnant should also avoid eating certain types of fish.
Nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of methylmercury. However, larger fish that have lived longer have the highest levels of methylmercury because they've had more time to accumulate it.
The large fish listed below should not be eaten during pregnancy because they pose the greatest risk:
- King Mackerel
Other types of fish and shellfish may be eaten in the amounts recommended by the FDA and EPA:
Fish sticks and "fast-food" sandwiches are commonly made from fish that are low in mercury. Because tuna steak generally contains higher levels of mercury than canned light tuna, when choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, you may eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) of tuna steak per week.
One week's consumption of fish does not change the level of methylmercury in the body much at all. If you eat a lot of fish one week, you can cut back for the next week or two. Before you go fishing, check your Fishing Regulations Booklet for information about recreationally caught fish. You can also contact your local health department for information about local advisories. You need to check local advisories because some kinds of fish and shellfish caught in your local waters may have higher or much lower than average levels of mercury. This depends on the levels of mercury in the water in which the fish are caught. Those fish with much lower levels may be eaten more frequently and in larger amounts.

Nature of the Beast is a page turner. The characters are colorful and interesting and Alexandra is closer to a female anti-hero than anything. She's strong, she's unusual, and her dark side is always lurking under the surface. She messes up when she tries to help and always ends up pissing off a lot of people.
Alexandra was forced to live in the human world, and while she adjusted, she never forgot how much better the world she was made into was. Her memories are hardly the only thing from her past that haunts her. Her nature and the power she masters will always cause trouble for her. A thing of power, as she'd described by others, Alexandra morphs through the story and grows.
Her infatuation with an angel is heart breaking, but it get hot fast when she starts dreaming of him and another man. In her dreams, the two invite her to join their carnal adventure and she's eager to do so. What I liked about this character is that she's not pining over the man she loves. Of course it's not easy, but she's not afraid of having friends with benefits and enjoying her sexuality.
The magical world Aimee portrayed is amazing and I can't wait to get more of it! It's basically a power structure, with different kinds of supernatural and magical being hanging on to their turf. It's all built around balance, and Alexandra and her kin somehow end up tipping that valuable balance. So start reading now, then join me in waiting for the next book in the series!

We All Deserve The Legal “Right To Rest” From WorkNov 17, 2021
Edited by the author — Original image from Pexels
Portugal is about to burst with immigration applications.
The country recently introduced a new law banning bosses from contacting employees outside of working hours. They already have plenty of sunshine, delicious food and a low crime rate. Sounds like paradise right?
The “right to rest” law has teeth too. Companies with more than 10 employees can be fined if they contact people outside their working hours. The financial penalty combined with the risk of losing staff can save the Portuguese from the terrors of the always-on culture.
Yes, the pandemic has led to the greater flexibility many workers craved but it’s come with secret terms and conditions. Sure, you can go and drop off your kids during work hours as long as you answer my emails outside them. No one ever spells it out like that so the invasion happens in stealth. 68% of US workers reported working on the weekend outside of their contracted hours during the pandemic.
Why? Natural boundaries no longer exist when you work from home. I know I felt like I was living at work at times rather than working from home when I was an employee. Even now as my own boss, clients will expect replies at all times of the day without respect for my personal time.
Enough is enough.
This isn’t a socialist luxury
Western Europe has always had greater protections for workers than the US or the UK. Several countries even guaranteed an 11-hour break every 24 hours for the majority of workers. Some might argue Portugal’s latest law only makes sense there because they have a different culture.
Those people would be wrong.
Hustle culture and the ‘always on’ mentality has been repeatedly shown to have negative effects on not just health but performance too. Out of those expected to respond to out of hours communication, 70.4% feel psychological distress and 63.5% feel emotional exhaustion.
The problem with not having a right to rest is you are stuck in limbo between work and personal time. If you’re having dinner with your partner whilst checking your emails every 5 minutes, does it count as working? In a massive study of 3.1 million workers, researchers concluded the average workday had extended by 48.5 minutes.
Some people have converted their commuting time into working time but they aren’t comparable. My old commute used to include a 20-minute walk and 20 minutes of reading a book on the train. Compared to working, which one do you think is better for my health?
Extended working hours is a serious issue and those who work more than 55 hours per week are 35% more likely to have a stroke. Those who increase beyond this are taking risks for no additional output. It’s a fool’s game and everyone loses.
With great power…
While all the statistics make a strong case, the difference between guidance and law is significant.
The intention to stop the chronic pestering of employees is noble. Yet what about the times where it may be reasonable to contact staff? It’s tough to know where to draw the line.
Sometimes during my consulting career, I think clients did the right thing by contacting me in the evening. If I made a mistake that was affecting a large group of people then does my right to rest trump their rights? I believe it makes sense for me to be called to fix a mess I created.
It might not even be my fault but if a problem is left until the morning then it snowballs and becomes much harder to deal with. I’d rather be contacted as soon as the oil leak is detected not once it’s killed everything in a 5-mile radius.
The right to rest will always be in conflict with other innocent stakeholders’ rights. In an ideal world, companies would have enough staff to cover all hours healthily. In reality, some common sense will be needed on both sides even with this law.
You need to set your own boundaries
When the law isn’t giving us the right to rest then we need to give it to ourselves. Workplace stress is a vicious circle only if people let it be.
Everyone you deal with is human and they all have their own problems to deal with. Most people don’t want to make your life harder, they are just trying to make their own easier. Humanize yourself and humanize your boss. They are trying to figure out their own balance too.
I didn’t set boundaries early in my career because I was afraid to. Yet once I started doing it, I realized people were far more understanding than I expected. Deadlines are often more arbitrary than anyone likes to admit. If you’re expected to answer emails late at night then first seek to push back timelines. This worked many times for me.
If your voice is being ignored then perhaps it’s time to join the Great Resignation. Your boss doesn’t need to care about your health but you do. You only get one life. Why are you choosing to spend it replying to emails at midnight? There are over 10 million unfilled vacancies in the US right now. Secure another job before you leave to ease financial concerns. Employers will need to change their behaviour to survive whether they like it or not.
Don’t wait for your government. Claim your right to rest today.

‘Working for Women’
The wide range of issues women face in the working world — from equal pay to attitudes about motherhood to the question of whether surrogate mothers should be considered paid workers — continues to evolve globally as women’s voices are being heard more now than ever before.
Among those at the forefront of women’s impact on global labor policies today is Eileen Boris, Hull Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Barbara. In the midst of Women’s History Month, Boris traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, for the March 13 launch of a new book she co-edited. Published by Brill and the International Labour Organization (ILO), it is part of “The Century Project,” which commemorates the ILO’s centennial.
“Women’s ILO: Transnational Networks, Global Labour Standards, And Gender Equity, 1919 to Present” examines the place of women in global labor policies and shares new research on a century of ILO engagement with women’s work. The book examines the role of women’s networks in shaping ILO policies and fighting against gender inequity in the working world.
“This book helps marks 100 years of commitment to social justice and increased promotion of gender equality,” said Boris, who has been involved with the ILO for decades, beginning nearly 30 years ago as an invited expert to a research meeting on home-based work. “This book is coming out at the perfect time.”
“Women’s ILO” includes articles from women writers and historians around the world, focusing on specific women involved in labor movements and the relationship between the ILO and other organizations. Essays address a range of topics, including attitudes toward motherhood in Argentina and their impact on labor regulations there; Italian women’s struggle for equal pay; how women in rural Ghana organized in the 1980s; migrant women caregivers; and the question of viewing surrogacy as paid work. Boris contributed an essay entitled “Equality’s Cold War: The ILO and the UN Commission on the status of women, 1946-1970.”
The book, co-edited by Boris, Dorothea Hoehtker from the ILO and Susan Zimmermann, a professor at Central European University, comes out as women’s work life evolves amid cultural shifts that vary from country to country. According to Boris, women are “pushing back through organizations like the ILO.”
“Today, the issues of women and workers, both paid and unpaid, and equal pay are at the center of working life,” Boris said. “That is a big cultural shift. Low-waged, part-time and temporary work — conditions long faced by women workers — now characterize the gig economy and more and more jobs, making the past of women’s work newly relevant to understanding the future of work.” Apropos for this time of #MeToo and #TimesUp, the ILO has begun discussing gender violence and harassment at work.
Boris noted that though women have made progress, it’s been uneven and unequal internationally. “Women have been the creators of their own lives and have been active in a struggle for better jobs, better living, not only for their themselves but their community,” she said. “There is progress but it has not been a straight line.
“Advances for some women have been at the expense of other women,” Boris continued. “We can see that with empire and colonialism and the ways in which women have left their own families and communities as migrant domestic workers, allowing women in other cities globally to go out to work. A transnational approach provides critical perspectives to understand not only ourselves in the world but in the past, present and future of those who are not like us.”
The ILO brings together governments, employers and workers from 187 member states to set labor standards, develop policies and devise programs that encourage decent work opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue on work-related issues. It explores issues like equal pay, home-based labor and social welfare internationally, charts the disparate advancement of gender equity, and highlights how women have affected the process.
Also a distinguished professor of history, of Black studies and of global studies at UCSB, Boris earned her Ph.D. and master’s degrees in American civilization at Brown University. Her areas of expertise include gender, race and class; feminist theory; labor studies; social politics; women, work and welfare; and women’s and gender history. Boris’s current book project, “Making the Woman Worker: Precarious Labor and the Fight for Global Standards, 1919-2019,” is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.

Route 15 runs through Pennsylvania from Maryland to New York. The highway carries all kinds of things; Midstaters, out-of-staters, goods, and unfortunately, human trafficking victims.
“They’re in our area. It’s very transient,” Rhonda Hendrickson of YWCA of Greater Harrisburg said. “They don’t just stay in Harrisburg with their victims. Traffickers are going to be moving them back and forth and, in the case of some people, they’re trafficking individuals right out of their homes.”
To stop trafficking along Route 15 is a project called Pennsylvania Alliance Against Trafficking in Humans – Route 15, or PAATH 15.
The first goal is to help victims.
“Every victim’s story is different,” said Susan Mathias, CEO of Transitions of Pennsylvania. “We’ve had all ages involved with being trafficked and all sexes, men and women, are involved, as well.”
“We’re trying to make an intervention and help them have a different life,” Hendrickson said.
To date, PAATH 15 has helped about 35 victims do that. The project also focuses on education.
“I know people may be thinking, ‘gosh, there’s no human trafficking in my area,’ but there is, and part of what we do is educate the community on what trafficking really looks like,” Hendrickson said.
Since the launch last fall, PAATH 15 has been inundated with training requests. The project also brought the right professionals to the table to make sure they can move swiftly, as fast as the traffickers.
“Because healing someone after they’ve experienced is one thing, we need to prevent it,” said Terri Hamrick, president and CEO of Survivors, Inc.

Mokonyane: Govt won't allow any form of land grabs
Government has warned against land grabs, saying that the land reform process underway in Parliament will determine a model that works for everyone.
PRETORIA – Government has warned against land grabs, saying that the land reform process underway in Parliament will determine a model that works for everyone.
Communications Minister Nomvula Mokonyane made the comments at a briefing on the outcomes of the Cabinet meeting in Pretoria on Thursday.
While Parliament is hearings submissions on proposals to amend the Constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation, there have been several incidents of people taking land illegally.
Minister Mokonyane says that government will never allow or tolerate any form of land grabs.
“We call upon landowners, local government and law enforcement agencies to act in a manner that will really demonstrate that this is not in line with the implementation of expropriation of land without compensation.”
She's urged South Africans to use the engagements on land reform to strengthen nation building.
“The unfolding parliamentary process will bring clarity and allow us to move forward as a nation.”
Land reform submissions are currently being heard in Parliament.

Super Falcons forward, Asisat Oshoala, has picked up the top scorer award for the Barcellona Fermeni side with a goal tally of 20.
Oshoala also became the first African woman to win the highest goalscorer gong in the Spanish Primera Division since it began in 2011.
She was also instrumental in guiding her Barcelona team to history as the first team in Spanish football history to win the league title with a perfect record
The Spanish champions finished the season with 30 wins in 30 matches, with 159 goals scored and just 11 conceded.
Despite her impressive tally, the 27-year-old was unable to increase her number of goals after being introduced in the 63rd minute for Jenifer Hermoso in the match against Atletico Madrid On Sunday.
The Nigerian captain was the highest goal scorer at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup and was named the best player at the tournament.
She was also named best player and second top goalscorer with the Super Falcons team who won the 2014 African Women’s Championship.
In September 2014, Oshoala was made a Member of the Order of the Niger by President of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan. In 2021, she was named in the Forbes 30 Under 30.

In 2009 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the federal agency that enforces the federal anti-discrimination laws, issued its “Pandemic Preparedness in the Workplace and Americans with Disabilities Act” (hereinafter “EEOC guidance”) to guide employers and employers during the H1N1 swine flu outbreak. It recently updated and re-issued that document to clarify how it pertains to the Coronavirus pandemic. EEOC guidance makes it clear that nothing in the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) or the Rehabilitation Act should prevent employers from following advice provided by the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) and other state or local public health authorities.
While updating some of its prior guidance, the key part of the EEOC guidance is a question and answer section that may be useful to both employers and employees. Key questions, which relate only to ADA covered employers (those with 15 or more employees) include:
- Can employers take the body temperature of employees during the pandemic?
Answer: Yes. Under normal circumstances this would not likely be permitted but because the CDC has acknowledged the community spread of COVID-19 and issued precautions, this is now permitted.
- Can an employer require an employee to stay home if they have COVID-19 symptoms?
Answer: Yes. In addition, the CDC has stated that employees who are at work and show symptoms of COVID-19 should be sent home.
- How much information can an employer request from an employee who calls in sick?
Answer: During a pandemic, employers can ask if the employee is exhibiting symptoms of the pandemic virus. Currently this would allow an employer to ask if the employee has symptoms such as fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath or sore throat.
- Can an emploper require a doctor’s note certifying fitness to duty be required upon an employee’s return to work?
Answer: Yes. The EEOC observes that due to the severity of a pandemic, getting a fitness for duty note may be difficult and recommends that new approaches be considered such as an email or a stamp from a local clinic.
- If an employer is hiring, can that employer screen applicants for symptoms of COVID-19?
Answer: Yes. Medical exams are permitted after a conditional offer of an employment.
- Can an employer withdraw a job offer if it needs the applicant, who has symptoms of COVID-19, to start immediately?
Answer: Yes. Current CDC guidance states that this applicant cannot safely enter the workplace.
EEOC Chair Janet Dillion recently cautioned about reports of an increase in “mistreatment and harassment of Asian Americans and other people of Asian descent.” While the EEOC has issued nothing formal related to the other laws that it enforces, those laws remain in effect and should be considered when making employment decisions. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on characteristics such as national origin, race and gender may become increasingly important in light of Chair Dillion’s recent comments. Choosing to terminate an Asian employee who is the most qualified for a position while retaining a non-Asian less qualified employee because he/she is Asian is still likely illegal.
If you have any questions, or need any additional information on the EEOC’s guidance, or any other employment related issues, please contact The Ezold Law Firm at (610) 660-5585.


It's not the most one-shot of launches, but it would appear that these brothers-in-arms from HTC and Samsung are headed to the market together to bring Windows Phone 8 to the masses this summer. While Samsung aims for a slightly more familiar face with the ATIV Odyssey starting today (online) for its 4G LTE-slinging US Cellular iteration, the HTC device will have to wait a bit longer. But what HTC brings to the party may just be worth that wait - the most powerful front-facing speakers on a smartphone in the market, only otherwise available on the HTC One (and the Butterfly S, of course).
HTC’s new Windows Phone 8X proves that the manufacturer is capable of building a solid Windows Phone 8 device. We’ve already taken a look at AT&T’s version of the 8X, as well as T-Mobile’s variant, but Verizon has the new device in its repertoire as well, and we’ve got it right here in front of us to see what this version offers. Since we already went over the basics as well as the more advanced stuff with the original full review, as well as dabbled around with T-Mobile’s version, I’ll just be briefly providing an overview of Verizon’s version for those who may be interested in grabbing the device from Big Red.
Welcome to Wednesday evening everyone. Today Samsung rejected rumors that it's been charging Apple a 20% premium on processors for iDevices, saying that since the prices are determined and agreed upon at the beginning of the year, it would be pretty difficult to change them. Speaking of Apple, the company confirmed today that it will soon open its first store in South America - the store will be located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to be exact.
Get your Windows Phone 8 rally caps on for a trip to T-Mobile today as both the HTC Windows Phone 8X and the Nokia Lumia 810 have been made available to the public just this morning. We've had a full review of the Lumia 810 earlier this week and have had our hands on the Windows Phone 8X in a full review before it made its way to T-Mobile as well. Now it's time to check out how the two compare to one another - especially since we've just gotten the T-Mobile Windows Phone 8X in the mail!
It's time to get on board with Windows Phone 8, and what better way to do it than with one of the two first devices on the market with the mobile operating system? We've had a look at both the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC Windows Phone 8X - now it's time to pit them against one another in an all-out race to the finish. The finish in this case being your hand - and your pocket, of course.
A couple days back, AT&T gave us pricing information for the HTC Windows Phone 8X, but sadly didn't part with any specific release info. The carrier said that the phone would be available "before Thanksgiving," but today we're finding out that it'll be launching quite some time before Turkey Day arrives. AT&T has announced that the Windows Phone 8X will be available to order starting November 9, which just so happens to be tomorrow.
It's time for the HTC Windows Phone 8X, Nokia Lumia 822, and Samsung ATIV Odyssey to hit Verizon and start the Windows Phone 8 party on the United States' largest mobile carrier. Each of these devices will be working with 4G LTE connectivity and will be bringing on what Verizon assures will be an interface that will allow you "new ways to further personalize your smartphone" - as Steve Ballmer has made clear many times. They also assure you that "Windows Phone 8 will debut on a number of new smartphones" as well - can we hope for more Verizon action soon?
After introducing the first NFC-enabled battery case for the Samsung Galaxy S III back in September, Powerskin is back with a set of new skins for a handful of different phones. Like the case for the Galaxy S III, these cases not only add NFC support to your phone, but they also extend the battery life too. A winning combination for some, and soon Powerskin will have cases ready for the HTC One X+, the Samsung Galaxy Express, and the HTC Windows Phone 8X.
AT&T has finally unveiled its pricing and launch dates for their range of Windows Phone 8 devices. Nokia's Lumia 920 will be available for a cool $99.99 on November 9, with pre-orders starting on November 7. Nokia's Lumia 820 will also launch on November 9 and will be priced at $49.99 with pre-orders starting on November 7. HTC's Windows Phone 8X starts at $99.99 for the 8GB version and $199.99 for the 16GB. The 8X will be available sometime "before Thanksgiving."
Verizon has announced that it will be releasing the Nokia Lumia 822 and the HTC 8X Windows Phone smartphones by Thanksgiving, giving Black Friday shoppers a chance to nab them for Christmas. Both these phones run Windows Phone 8, and complement Verizon's previously only-available Windows Phone, the HTC Trophy. You can grab the 8X for $199.99, and the Lumia 822 for $99.99 after rebate.
Today is the big day for the folks at Microsoft and their brand new Windows Phone 8. What we have today is the brand new Windows Phone X8 by HTC, better known as the HTC 8X. With the combination of Windows Phone 8 supporting much better hardware, and HTC bringing their A-game the HTC 8X is a much better, faster, and more personal and improved Windows Phone experience. Read on for our full thoughts.


Thirteen members of the Security Council voted for the new UN resolution, and only South Africa and Russia abstained from the vote.
Rabat – The UN Security Council has voted on and adopted Resolution 2468, extending the mandate of the UN peacekeeping operation in Western Sahara, also known as MINURSO, for six months.
Russia and South Africa abstained from the vote.
The resolution calls on the parties in the conflict to achieve a realistic and durable solution to the conflict.
The vote followed another strong debate between the US and France over the length of MINURSO’s mandate. While France asked for one year, the US supported only a six month extension.
Like previous resolutions on Western Sahara , the new text reaffirmed commitment to “assist” the parties involved in the conflict to achieve a “realistic, practicable and enduring political solution to the question of Western Sahara based on compromise.”
The resolution also keeps the same language contained in previous resolutions in which the Security Council gives prominence to the Moroccan autonomy plan.
The resolution takes note of “of the Moroccan proposal presented on 11 April 2007 to the Secretary-General and [welcomes] serious and credible Moroccan efforts to move the process forward towards resolution.”
Preambular paragraph seven reiterates the council’s call upon Morocco, the Frente Polisario, Algeria and Mauritania to cooperate more fully with each other, including through building additional trust, and with the United Nations, as well as to strengthen their involvement in the political process and to achieve progress towards a political solution.
The language of this paragraph brings a new and significant change in comparison to the previous resolution. While in resolution 2440 the Council makes a distinction between the parties and neighboring states, the new resolution removes this distinction and names the four parties on equal footing.
The resolution also called upon the parties—Morocco, Algeria, Polisario, and Mauritania—to “cooperate more fully with each other, including through building additional trust, and with the United Nations.”
The resolution echoed a statement from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his Personal Envoy Horst Kohler, who recalled that trust is necessary to end the 44-year-old conflict.
The conflict, according to Resolution 2468, requires all parties’ strong commitment and involvement in the political process “to achieve progress towards a political solution.”
The resolution also stresses that a political solution to the conflict would contribute to stability and security “in turn leading to jobs, growth and opportunities for all the peoples in the Sahel region.”
Contrary to the anti-MINURSO sentiment shared of US National Security Adviser John Bolton, the Security Council expressed its full support for MINURSO and its “important role played” on the ground. The resolution also insisted on the importance of the mission’s mandate, including “its role in supporting the Personal Envoy to achieve a mutually acceptable political solution.”
The text also includes a paragraph in which the Security Council expressed concerns about the “violations of existing agreements.”
The UN annual report on the Western Sahara situation mentioned several violations committed out by the front, with Guterres urging Polisario’s militias to meet MINURSO’s staff in Rabouni, Algeria, and not in the area Polisario claims is “liberated zones.”

TPI 16" Fan
Your review: The fan appears to be well constructed. There are a lot of fans on the market, with this being priced about in the middle of the range. I bolted it to a cutout piece of plywood and screwed it to the existing particle board. It's being used with the existing "fixed" louvered opening. There is vibration, but I'm installing the 16" louver kit, and hope some of the vibration is reduced. I've got a thermostat set for 96 degrees, and the fan has been running well......so far.

The cover of a book is a hint about the contents it harbors.
Although an old adage tells us not to judge a book by its cover, today’s book market necessitates attractive covers. With thousands of new books distributed every year, creating a clever book cover design that will catch the shopper’s eye and inspire them to inspect the synopsis or interior of the book is key to boosting sales. An unattractive book cover may cause the laborious hours spent crafting story, themes and characters to fade unnoticed into history, unread and unappreciated.
1. Determine the genre and major themes of the book. If the book is a non-fiction work on the topic of butterflies, the cover image should include photographs, imagery and text that denotes an educational context. A fictional book in the science fiction genre about aliens and space travel offers a broad range of images that will represent the story. The images you choose should represent the core idea of your book, without giving away the conclusion.
2. Determine the prime audience. If your book will be marketed to teenagers, your design should be hip and include images that are trendy, but if your book is targeting the senior market, images should conform to ideas and imagery that will appeal to an older, more conservative age group.
3. Choose a color scheme. Colors and color combinations evoke emotional reactions. Learn about the effects of colors and choose a combination that will evoke a psychological message that is appropriate for your book and your audience.
4. The title font should be easy to read.
Choose a font that represents your novel. A horror novel can have a font that looks like dripping blood, while a mystery novel might use an old typewriter font. The title of the book should be large and consume 10 to 15 percent of the cover. Font choice will enhance the title and lead the consumer’s eyes to the cover design.
5. Use the graphic design software to create multiple variations for book cover layouts that incorporate the combination of each component that you have chosen.
6. Request feedback from a variety of trustworthy friends. Some authors post their cover designs on various web pages or social media sites to obtain feedback from the public. Because the appeal of imagery is subjective, widespread, anonymous feedback from online communities will provide helpful and unbiased advice for improvement.

Senator Kamala Harris recently joined members of the Senate Intelligence Committee to chat about whether Donald Trump tried to obstruct the investigation into collusion between his campaign and Russia (sigh, what is life), and was cut-off mid-sentence and told to be "courteous" while questioning Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein . Which, 😐.
"The chair is going to exercise the right to allow the witnesses to answer the question," committee chairman Richard Burr said after cutting Harris off. "The committee is on notice to provide the witnesses the courtesy, which has not been extended all the way across, for questions to get answered."
We're all about courtesy, but it should be noted that the men on this committee were just as fired up as Harris—and none of them were cut-off mid-musing. It should also be noted that Harris is one of only three women on this committee. Her expression says it all.
Here's what she had to say after the fact:
Props to her for keeping on keeping on after this total bullshit.

"The intake process was initially designed to determine if a particular drug rehabilitation program was suitable for a particular client."Rehab center intake is the process of interviewing clients before fully admitting them into a substance abuse treatment program, such as an alcoholic rehab center. The intake process was initially designed to determine if a particular drug rehabilitation program was suitable for a particular client. Today, the intake process is essentially an admissions process, and it is often the first meeting that each new client has with the treatment center's therapist, medical practitioner or psychologist.
The Rehabilitation Facility Admission Process
Alcohol Rehabilitation Aftercare Programs
Once the acute phase of rehabilitation, consisting of detoxification that is usually followed up with up to a month of intensive counseling and behavioral modification therapy, has passed, recovering alcoholics often seek alcohol rehabilitation aftercare programs to ensure that they continue on the road to permanent recovery.
During the intake process, a variety of information is collected and evaluated. The individual who collects this information must have a lot of experience in substance abuse treatment in order to evaluate the collected information properly. The interviewer must ask clients a series of general and personal questions throughout the intake process. These questions are not designed to embarrass or judge clients. Rather, they help the treatment center determine the severity of each individual's substance abuse problem and helps practitioners determine the treatment process that would work best for each client. If you or a loved one is addicted to medicine, alcohol, or any substance, call our free helpline at 800-861-9454 or fill out our quick contact form.
The intake process is confidential, so clients do not have to worry about the interviewer sharing their information with other clients. However, as time passes, most clients eventually decide to share their personal journeys with others. Intake specialists also talk to patients in order to gain insights into their motives for rehabilitation and substance abuse treatment. Most clients enter rehabilitation because they desperately need help to overcome their substance abuse addiction. Some want to reconnect with their family members and need help getting clean and sober before contacting them. Also, there are clients who are facing serious health issues and need to immediately stop taking the substance they are addicted to. Whatever your reason is for admitting yourself or a loved one into a rehabilitation facility, it is important to be as honest as possible with the intake specialist in order to get the best treatment possible.
During the intake process, patients also need to provide medical information. Because drug and alcohol detoxification is a procedure that must be closely monitored by medical practitioners, most practitioners need information about each person's medical history before starting the detoxification process. The detoxification process will be different for each client because each client will have different types and levels of toxins in his or her system. Physical examinations, which may include blood and alcohol testing, are often part of the intake process. If you are ready to start the process of detoxifying from drugs and alcohol, contact our confidential hotline at 800-861-9454 or fill out a quick contact form on this website for immediate assistance and support.
"Whatever your reason is for admitting yourself or a loved one into a rehabilitation facility, it is important to be as honest as possible with the intake specialist in order to get the best treatment possible."
After the rehabilitation intake process, the information that is collected is used to create an orientation packet and detailed schedule for patients. This schedule generally includes a list of daily activities, counseling session times, appointments with medical practitioners, and a host of other appointments. Aside from receiving their schedules and appointments, patients will generally receive booklets that provide information about the rehabilitation center. The history of the center, the center's missions and goals, the services they offer and patient testimonials are often included in these booklets. Checking into a rehabilitation center may initially be uncomfortable for patients. The information that these centers provide to patients and their families helps them feel more confident in the facilities' ability to help the addicted person.
The information that is gathered during the intake process is also used to record a patient's progress. As clients go through the detoxification process and undergo additional testing, the data that is gathered will be added to their charts. Medical practitioners will let patients know how well they are improving on an ongoing basis, and it would not be easy to determine this if an intake chart is not available. If you need to enroll in a drug rehab center, alcoholic rehab center, or any facility designed for individuals who need help with substance abuse, contact us by filling out a quick contact form or by calling 800-861-9454.
