On the Brink of Shutdown?
Today is September 30, the last day of the government's fiscal year. If Congress does not agree on a continuing resolution today to authorize spending for the next fiscal year, tomorrow the government will shut down.
On Friday, the Senate passed a continuing resolution that accepted the House-preferred level of spending at $986 billion (just below sequester levels for non-defense appropriations and $19 billion higher than sequester levels for defense), funding the government through November 15.
On Saturday, the House considered the Senate bill and made amendments, funding the government for one month longer (through December 15), delaying the Affordable Care Act's implementation by one year, and repealing the medical device tax that partially funds the law. Repealing the medical device tax would cost $30 billion over the next ten years, adding to the deficit. Delaying the Affordable Care Act could increase or decrease the deficit, depending on the details.
As CRFB President Maya MacGuineas said in a statement:
We are extremely disappointed that instead of identifying a credible way to fund the government and comply with or replace the sequester, the House of Representatives is now calling for making the deficit worse rather than better by repealing the Medical Device Tax. The unproductive political brinksmanship we are in the midst of will virtually guarantee an 11th-hour deal, if not a full government shutdown, and it will do nothing to advance the causes of deficit reduction and entitlement reform.
It is unfortunate that lawmakers failed to use this fiscal hurdle as an opportunity to deal directly with how to meet or replace the sequester and make progress toward putting the debt on a clear downward path as a share of the economy. That House Republicans have focused on extraneous measures is bad enough, but that their focus is on deficit increasing policies is unacceptable.
So what happens now? The Senate is likely to take up the bill shortly after 2pm today, and then will promptly vote it down by a majority vote. Even if the Senate were to pass the House bill, the President has issued a veto threat. That puts the onus back on the House of Representatives to send another CR to the Senate, which would then have to be approved and signed by the President. All of this must happen by midnight, or else the government will shut down.
We've written recently about what such a shutdown would mean in Everything You Needed To Know About a Government Shutdown.
With less than one day to go, it is time for Congress to stop this brinksmanship, come to a short-term agreement to fund the government, and turn their attention to the more pressing issues of raising the debt limit and addressing our longer-term fiscal concerns through entitlement and tax reform.

Joe Hannan a collaborative, accessible leader | Letter
Editor, The Beacon:
When I first came to work at the Mukilteo YMCA five years ago, I knew few people in the community. Shortly after joining the Mukilteo Kiwanis Club, I met Joe Hannan.
Joe was warm and friendly, and mentored me as I served in Kiwanis leadership positions. I’ve found Joe to be a true service-minded civic professional, and I’m seen him volunteer, raise money, and advocate for kids, families and schools throughout the Mukilteo community.
No task is too big or small, from packing dictionaries to give to third grade classrooms to cooking hotdogs to raise money for scholarships. Joe models leadership and does whatever it takes to get the job done.
For me, Joe represents a great example of how government leaders can work effectively within the community. If I need anything, have a question, or seek counsel, I can count on Joe.
His transparent, collaborative attitude has helped hundreds throughout our community.
As his time as city administrator has come to a close, I think it’s important to recognize his positive impact on the nonprofit, business and civic agencies throughout Mukilteo [“New mayor planning to restructure management,” The Beacon, front page, Jan. 8].

The government, through the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, has announced it will continue to provide cash assistance to nearly 900 tourism workers whose contracts were suspended in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to a January 18 notice, the 88th cash payment will be transferred to 866 workers of 12 major tourism-related businesses.
It said Wing Bank will notify the workers via telephone, as it has done since the programme began.
The payments will be made in riel, and are based on the number of days per month an individual is suspended from work. Those who lose from 11 to 20 days of work will receive 121,500 riel (around $30), while those who lose 21 days to a full month of shifts will receive 162,000 riel.
Cambodia Association of Travel Agents adviser Ho Vandy said the continued provision of cash assistance to tourism workers will contribute to the sector’s post-pandemic recovery and also serve to attract local and foreign investors. Although a slight recovery has been noted, the industry still faces financial challenges.
“This is an encouraging sign, as reopening is not yet profitable for every tourism-related business. The sector has been in decline for more than two years, so we expect a recovery to take time,” he said.
He predicted that if Covid-19 remains under control and there are no more disruptions or natural disasters, tourism will return to pre-pandemic levels by 2024 or 2025.
The labour ministry reminded those who are eligible for the cash transfers that Wing Bank will return the money to the state if it remains unclaimed for 10 days from the first notification. A national ID card and the phone number that the notification was sent to are required to collect the cash. No service fees will be charged.
Should no notification be received, eligible workers should contact Wing Bank. It is each worker’s responsibility to ensure that the correct phone number is on file with their employer, it said.

Ann Sather's cinnamon rolls became the breakfast of champions this morning, as Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews visited the Lakeview restaurant following a pre-dawn pub crawl with teammates.
Toews, named the Stanley Cup MVP Wednesday night, stopped by the diner shortly before 9 a.m. with a few friends. Carrying his own Sharpie pen, he signed newspapers, hockey sweaters, napkins and anything else star-struck fans placed in front of him.
Camera phones snapped away and patrons swarmed his table as the Blackhawks center devoured a bagel sandwich and the Swedish restaurant's famous cinnamon rolls. If Toews minded the intrusion while he ate, he hid it well.
Adam Shaw, who had gone to the restaurant with his mom to celebrate the end of a successful school year, said his jaw dropped as the hockey star entered. When the 13-year-old asked Toews to sign the front page of today's Chicago Tribune - which features a large picture of Toews hoisting the Stanley Cup over his head - he happily obliged.
"What's better than that?" Shaw asked. "It's just amazing."
Blackhawks fan Kip McCabe made a detour to the restaurant when he heard a radio report about Toews' whereabouts. When McCabe's job called to inquire about his tardiness, he quickly got off the phone. It seems being late to work was a small price to pay for meeting Toews and getting a hockey sweater signed.
"I can't talk," he said before hanging up. "Jonathan Toews is at Ann Sather."
When Toews exited the restaurant nearly an hour later, cheering crowds greeted him on Belmont Avenue. He offered a quick wave before climbing into a black stretch limousine and receiving a police escort to his next stop.
As a giddy McCabe watched him depart, he marveled at Toews' fan-friendly attitude. The 22-year-old captain has won both the Stanley Cup and an Olympic gold medal in the last six months, yet he went out of his way to let fans bask in the Hawks' championship glow.
"These guys are part of the city now," McCabe said. "They have been accessible and the city has responded."

Hampton by Hilton development gets underway in Leeds
The first phase of a new regeneration scheme at Bridge Street in Leeds began yesterday 5th September 2017.
Eric Teng, the CEO of Heeton Holdings Ltd – the Singapore-based property developer leading the consortium behind this landmark project, led the commencement of work celebrations.
The scheme will create a sustainable urban destination on the 2.45-acre site that was once occupied by British Gas prior to its relocation to Holbeck. The scheme is set in an ideal location in the city centre, close to the Victoria Gate shopping centre and the emerging creative quarter.
Central to the first phase of the scheme will be a new property by major hotel chain, Hampton by Hilton, following an agreement for a new 14-storey hotel. The 192-bed hotel, which has an anticipated opening date of late 2019, will also include a gym, a bar and a restaurant.
An intended second phase of the overall masterplan would provide a significant number of new homes, responding to the strong demand within Leeds for high-quality, centrally-located accommodation.
Heeton have contracted Robertson to undertake the construction of Phase One of the scheme. Robertson is one of the largest independently owned construction companies in the UK. With 50 years of experience, they have worked on schemes such as The Broadway Bradford and Hampton by Hilton in Aberdeen.
Judith Blake, Leader of Leeds City Council, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Hampton by Hilton to Leeds. The city is seeing impressive growth in both business and leisure tourism as Leeds is recognised as a top destination. The construction of this new building is a sign of confidence in Leeds which directly impacts its economic success, making a difference to everyone who lives and works in the city.”
Eric Teng, CEO at Heeton Holdings Ltd, said:
“There has been a lot of hard work from Heeton and our partners to get to this stage, so I delighted and proud to officially get construction for Phase One started today.
“This site has long been identified as an area to provide a vibrant new neighbourhood in an up-and-coming area of Leeds. We can now look forward to creating something that will serve the city of Leeds for many years to come and bring this area to life during the day and into the evening.”
Edwin Liu, Country Head (UK and Europe) at Heeton Holdings Ltd, said:
“As the first phase of this wider development, the Hampton by Hilton project marks a significant commencement to the regeneration of this district. The area has transformed in recent years and we are confident that the hotel and the rest of this fantastic scheme will help continue the positive impact on the city centre.
“We look forward to working alongside Hampton by Hilton to make this development a huge success.”
Patrick Fitzgibbon, Senior Vice President of Development at Hilton, said:
“Leeds is at the centre of the North of England’s economy and with the UK Government’s Northern Powerhouse proposals set to boost the regional economy, visitor numbers are set to increase considerably in the next five to 10 years. This is a terrific project to be a part of and a great opportunity to expand our fast-growing Hampton by Hilton presence in the UK.”

Recently a friend from college sent an email in which he ruminated on the connection between historic pianos and the human voice. With his permission I’ve pasted his note below, along with the fascinating response from Patricia Frederick of the Frederick Collection of Historic Pianos in Ashburnham, Massachusetts. And here’s a link to a favorite animated recording of Schubert’s “Erlkönig,”created by Oxford Lieder.
The original question from my friend:
You know I’ve long been devoted to historical instrument performance, and performances employing “period” instruments and instrumentation, so the subject of performance on pianos the likes of which would have been familiar to Chopin is of great interest. I especially enjoy performances of Schubert on instruments from his period, because, while he can be interpreted with success on something modern, by the likes of Brendel, pre-eminently, the music doesn’t make proper sense without resort to the kinds of sounds with which Schubert was composing.
Hearing you talk [in a recent podcast] about the homogeneity of timbre up and down the keyboard, in today’s pianos, puts me in mind of Schubert, who fully exploited the range of sounds in the pianos of his day, and how the sounds of different registers colored his composition.
I can’t help but think that the contrasts in the registers of fortepianos and older pianos can be analogized with the register-breaks and shifting timbres, from register to register, in human voices. Is it far-fetched to think of Chopin’s pianos, and the sounds that he endeavored to coax from them, as more imitative of the human voice, from what we hear in today’s pianos?
Patricia Frederick’s reply:
Your friend’s question about producing a “singing tone” is certainly relevant to the period pianos. As Mike says, centuries of composers, including J.S. Bach, have urged keyboard players to strive for a sound as much like the human voice as possible.
As you mentioned in the interview, we give visitors some specific things to listen for, that distinguish these pianos from the modern instrument. We point out three kinds of tonal contrast that piano designers could either maximize or minimize, to varying degrees, to produce the signature sound they wanted in their instruments; and these are all analogous to elements of vocal tone:
- Tonal changes over the dynamic range: A piano can be designed to produce an even continuum from soft to loud, (or as Mike puts it, “A pint of sound, a quart of sound, or a gallon of sound, but all the same sound”), or it can be made to produce a sweet, mellow tone at low level, rising to a brilliant, commanding tone at the loud end of the spectrum. Erards are especially good at this. Similarly, a human voice can play with different timbres across the dynamic range.
- Different registers across the keyboard compass: An ideal in some piano design has been a smooth transition from low bass to high treble; whereas our 1840 Erard, as you may recall, has a big, robust bass register, while its treble notes are suggestive of the delicate, sparkling baguettes on a crystal chandelier. The two ends of the keyboard sound as though they are from entirely different worlds. Singers can similarly produce different effects with their voices – think of Schubert’s Erlkönig”, where the singer must represent the narrator, the father, the terrified child, and the forest king’s daughters, in the space of a few measures!
- The attack of hammer on string, and the decay of the tone produced thereby: A hammer can be made to ease into the string, creating a tone without a sharp beginning, the subsequent tone fading out very gradually; or, the hammer can have a crisp attack, releasing a lot of tonal energy right away, dropping immediately to a lower level and fading out from there. This is something akin to a singer’s enunciating the consonants in a song, so that even the softest tones are heard at the back of the hall, and everyone can understand the words. A piano with a noticeable attack and lower-level fade-out is wonderful for accompanying singers, woodwind and stringed instruments; it makes its sound, then gets out of the way of the other instruments. This is also true of solo piano music with complex textures at rapid tempo markings; the richness and slow tonal decay of the modern piano can be an impediment there.
There is what Mike or I would say about the piano’s possibilities as a “vocal” instrument.

Halloween season is upon us once again, which means that we here at The Arcade are back with our annual Halloween Music Special. When it comes to this time of year, you always hear Thriller, Monster Mash, and the Ghostbusters theme being played everywhere you go. Sure, they’re appropriate for the season and all, but sometimes, people are just lazy and fall back to those without a second thought. Thankfully, we here at The Arcade are anything but lazy and have once again compiled a setlist of music you won’t hear anywhere else this Halloween.
Our original plan was to record and deliver a new show for you this week, but, that will not be happening now. Unfortunately, life has reared its head, (as it sometimes does), and prevented us from recording this week. As it happens, Dennis found himself busy with family engagements for the better part of the week and Mike has been preparing to head out on a lengthy road trip.
With that being said, we will be back with a new episode for you next week… should the fates and life allow.

Tour dates soon to be announced! - August 15, 2016
Ras Alan spent much of 2015 in the recording studio, and the fruits of that labor will soon be available to all our family, friends and fans. The theme of Love runs all through the record, with 13 new, original tunes exploring that I-niversal of all human emotions. The album is slated for a Spring arrival, just in time for you organic farmers and ecstatic dancers to thump a loving soundtrack across the homestead, or bump the boombox in the barn or crank the woofers in the old truck! (...And we hear there's even more music coming on this album's heels. Yea man!)
The Overtakers from Negril, Jamaica, have an Asheville Music Hall date just added to their current US tour.

I'll also be performing new original material, and the Pond Brothers are bringing the vibes as well. Opening DJ sets by I-Lou and Red Iya. Yes man!
The Overtakers have fallen on hardship as the Jamaican Government has finally reclaimed the land they have lived on for many many years near the TEXACO station in Negril. They have been granted a new piece of land further from Negril and they must rebuild. All funds raised will go to The Overtakers and rebuilding for their family.

This past March, at the New York International Children’s Film Festival, Roger Allers, the director of "The Lion King," cheerfully answered kids’ questions about his newest movie, which had just had its U.S. première. He grinned directly at each young moviegoer who took the microphone: Yes, there aren’t that many animals in the movie, except for the birds. No, we don’t really know what happened to the little girl’s dad, we just know he’s gone and that’s why she doesn’t talk much._ _The movie is called "Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet," and it opens in New York and Los Angeles on August 7th, with showings in other cities to follow. When someone in the audience asked Allers about his experience with the book that the film is based on, the goateed baby-boomer in shirtsleeves let his gaze float into the middle distance and assumed a thoughtful tone.
“I was given a copy of the book when I was in college, and I had an experience of … satori, an enlightenment sort of thing. And then later, I spent some time on Crete…” He trailed off, perhaps noticing that the theatre was full of Manhattan preteens (and their parents), for whom “satori” and “Crete” might as well have been Klingon, presumably. He was a man alone, signalling from across a vast generation gap. “It sounds ridiculous to talk about here,” he said, “but it was … very meaningful for me.”
Allers was not really alone: Kahlil Gibran’s illustrated book of poems, organized in twenty-six sections and offering enigmatic wisdom—“On Love,” “On Marriage, “On Religion,” “On Money”—has been enormously popular since it was first published in 1923. It earned a special reputation in the nineteen-sixties and seventies as a spiritual text, the “counterculture Bible.” Couples read aloud from the book at barefoot weddings (“Love one another but make not a bond of love, let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls”). It was given as a gift at graduations, birthdays, funerals. The small volume is said to have sold upwards of a hundred million copies—in paperback, hardcover, leather-bound, day-planner, Christmas-tree-ornament, and special military editions—in forty different languages. An animated film is probably the one form that the book hadn’t taken.
It might not have taken that form were it not for the actress Salma Hayek, who produced the film. "The Prophet"_ _was very meaningful to her, too, but in an entirely different way. It wasn't about enlightenment, she told Variety, but about her Lebanese grandfather: “To me, when I see the cover, I cannot think of anyone else but him.”
Many Americans of Allers’s generation who have read, given, or recited "The Prophet" ’s words likely do not know, or at least do not care, that its long-dead author, Kahlil Gibran, was born in what is now Lebanon. (His home in Besharri was, at the time of his immigration to the United States, still part of Greater Syria in the Ottoman Empire. Gibran died in New York City, in 1931, at the age of forty-eight, of cirrhosis of the liver.) Many of the teen-agers and college-age young people who discover the book may prefer to see it as a timeless guide to existential questions, like a Ouija board or the "I Ching." Attaching this amorphous wisdom to a specific author, with his inevitable human foibles, would just be a buzzkill.
Nevertheless, Lebanese and Arab-American advocates for Gibran have long sought to enhance his literary and cultural reputation, as Joan Acocella described, in The New Yorker, in 2008. Gibran was a Maronite Christian by heritage but a vocal critic of Muslim-Christian sectarianism; he fantasized about building a church with a minaret on top in his home country.
In 1985, the Kahlil Gibran Centennial Foundation succeeded in getting Congressional approval to build a Gibran memorial garden on federal land in Washington, D.C. But by then it seemed as though an entire generation had grown out of the book at once. The Washington Post literary critic Jonathan Yardley railed against the project as an embarrassing waste of money, calling "The Prophet" “pure gibberish” and its author the “patron saint of calendar and greeting-card copywriters.”
The movie probably has little shot at winning over such readers. But new young people arrive every day, and the book continues to find readers who are not dissuaded—and may even be encouraged—by its dismissal by critics. There are also some baby boomers who continue to have fond feelings about their counterculture Bible. Hayek and her fellow producers seem to be giving a nod to those readers with their selection of material from the book: they could only fit animations of eight of the book’s twenty-six short poetic sections into the film (each section is designed by a different animator), but they made sure all the most frequently quoted verses were included. If you’re listening for “Make not a bond of love,” or “Your children are not your children, they are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself,” or “Work is love made visible,” you will hear it.
But you may be surprised by what surrounds the familiar words. Since the book itself doesn’t really have a plot, the filmmakers decided to create one in order to link together the different poems. That larger plot is about a rebellious young girl and her struggling, widowed mother (voiced by Salma Hayek), whose accidental encounter with a poet called Mustafa (voiced by Liam Neeson and loosely based on Gibran), changes their lives for the better. The setting of the story, as in the book, has mostly been blurred of distinguishing details, and the people have the rounded, two-dimensional features of old-fashioned Disney animation. But the hapless soldiers who guard the mountain cabin where the poet is under some kind of house arrest wear fezzes and refer to someone called a “pasha,” which makes them seem like Ottoman-era Turks. The mountain country looks vaguely like a cartoon Lebanon.
The story line takes place on the day of Mustafa’s release, and so the soldiers usher him back down from the mountain to the sea, where he will return by ship to his unnamed homeland. At every step he encounters something that inspires a poem—a family celebrating a wedding, a person selling food, a lively debate, and so on. Abruptly, each time, the narrative stops, and a new swirl of imagery appears—in watercolor, or Claymation, or a wash of finger paint—often with background music that makes the words, in a rather hurried voiceover, seem incidental.
Inviting animators with styles that differ wildly both from one another and from the visual style of the main story line, could, I suppose, serve as a tribute to the book’s long history and varied interpretations. But the animations start to feel repetitive as the movie progresses; each bit of poetry interrupts the story in the same way. Most of the animated sections involve a natural element—trees, birds, human hands, babies, water—repeated and abstracted in various patterns. Meanwhile, in order for the larger plot to have any emotional payoff, we must, with each poem, grow more and more fond of Mustafa, the imagined author of these poems, so that we care when (spoiler alert!) he does not get to go free. But the abstract animations don't help forge this bond—and the sometimes clumsy dialogue in the narrative portions doesn’t help, either. (A military official says that Mustafa’s writings offer “nothing less than a call to rebellion,” and sentences him to death. “I am a criminal,” he whispers to the young girl from his cell. “My crime? Poetry!”)
The movie’s juxtaposition of poetry and drama makes for an oddly jarring viewing experience, as if a Lebanese grandfather were lecturing a satori-seeking college student. But it may also be a fairly accurate dramatization of the strange cultural space that "The Prophet" occupies, poised awkwardly between utmost seriousness and sheer whimsy. The book is a best-seller with a largely forgotten author; it was written for adults, but has been adopted by teen-agers; it is dismissed as lightweight, but remains dogged in its longevity. It even produces conflicting reactions in its fans, people like Allers, who seem both nostalgic for and possibly embarrassed by how the book made them feel. "The Prophet," as this odd adaptation helps to demonstrate, may be both “very meaningful” and too ridiculous to talk about.

In 8th grade, almost everyone had “knack” for writing. Also, almost everyone had a Wattpad account. Back then, I truly believed I was destined to become the next Hemingway and as a result I started writing about four different books all at once. Then it became five. Then six. All of which I spent 99% of the time creating detailed profiles for the characters and the other 1% editing the same overall summary. So while I had a fleshed out Chloe Peterson, who was scarred by a traumatic childhood and could never trust again, none of my stories ever went past the Short Prologue page.
But here I am. Five years later. Another prologue.
BUT. I think this story might go somewhere. It is not New York Times Bestseller list worthy. It is not a secret masterpiece that future historians will break their backs for, even centuries after my tragic but glamorous death. But it is the start of my pedge to dedication. I will finish this book. No matter how many tears I may shed or days of sleep I may lose. No matter the challenges the heavens dare set in my path, not even Netflix will stop this young girl.
Anyway, here’s the link to my Wattpad story: Treacherous Minds. 1 like = 1 prayer.

As I write this post my sister in law is dying 1500 miles away. Since fall I’ve missed our weekly online messaging- I miss hearing her comments on my facebook posts- but most of all I miss our sharing of memories, joy, and grief. She became too ill and her Facebook posts, likes, political opinions, and virtual hugs stopped. My final message from her is a thank you for her copy of my book http://legaciesfromthelivingroom.com. I find this new loss ignites my old grief for my husband David.
When I got the call from her daughter in law that she was near the end I should not have been surprised , but I was. Tears streaming down my face in the grocery store made finishing my task next to impossible. I quickly realized as I got into my car that the familiar tidal wave of grief was about to grab me and try once again to take me down. I realized I was grieving not only her, but also my husband who died of nasopharyngeal cancer.
New Loss Ignites Old Loss
AS is the case so often, a new loss triggers an old. As memories flood in of good times I enjoyed with my sister-in-law, they also included my husband. I was immediately reminded of all who shared those moments. Given my brother in laws dementia, I realized I am now the only one who has the memories the four of us shared. The tidal wave knocks me down as pictures of the four of us laughing and being silly pop into my head. I am now the only one who remembers, there is no one to share the memories who was there.
All close relationships have secrets, and we certainly shared a few. I am now alone with those secrets as well. I hold hers sacred as she did mine until the day she died. The confidence I placed in her was honored until the end. The secrets once shared are now all mine.
Love Grief Equation
The love grief equation David describes and that has guided me to manage my grief will of course emerge again. I now hold onto the love as I face this new loss. I will share some stories with her husband despite his dementia, and with her family as well. We will laugh together and honor her to try to heal. I am so thankful for the memories. For now it hurts and the love spills from my eyes. My found coping with David will be a lifesaver as I move forward- time to but my lifejacket back on so I can move forward again.

Help with the HealthSubsidy.net
First, if you have questions specific to the website, please email us at email@example.com
We designed to the site to be as user-friendly as possible since the topic of health insurance and subsidies is already complicated enough. There are three main components to focus on: Understanding how the Subsidy Works, Health Subsidy Estimates and Actual Quotes, and Detailed Information by individual Topic.
A general guideline to how the health subsidy will work. We recommend a quick read of Understand the Health Subsidy for a basic understanding of eligibility, how it works, and so on. This is a great place to start. The next step is time specific.
Prior to October 1st, 2013
You can use our Health Subsidy Calculator to estimate what you can expect to pay for premiums and what you can expect in terms of subsidy if you are eligible.
October 1st, 2013 and after
You will then be able to run actual health insurance quotes through our Health Quote page with Subsidy that automatically calculates subsidy amounts based on income data entry and actually quotes real health plans available in the Exchange (the only place where subsidies are available). If you do not qualify for a subsidy, this same quote page will show you plans in and outside the Exchange. You can read up on the benefits in and out of the Exchange if you do not qualify for a Subsidy.
Finally, we want to hit all the important aspects surrounding health subsidies and some more general changes resulting from Health Reform. We will continue to add articles to provide more detail on various aspects and these articles will be available through our Health Subsidy Update page.
We have cross-linked the various pages as applicable so you can quickly jump to a topic you are interested in so that people can zero in on the questions they want answered regarding health subsidies. Of course, we welcome your feedback on how to improve the website for your use with the ultimate goal being to maximize the health subsidy that you are eligible for! Thanks and good hunting!

A description of the bills and their impact:
SPONSOR: Rep. Vernon G. James, D-Elizabeth City
THE BILL: Allows trucks hauling agricultural crops on primary and secondary roads within 35 miles of the farm to weigh up to 88,000 pounds, 10 percent above the legal maximum for interstate highways. Maximum weights for axles were also increased about 10 percent.
BOTTOM LINE: The Division of Motor Vehicles, which was responsible then for enforcing the state's overweight truck laws, opposed this legislation and told legislators, "The rural highways and secondary restricted bridges of the state would be damaged and require repair more often."
'NO' VOTES: None
HOUSE BILL 463 Farm Products Weight Exemption
SPONSOR: Rep. Bill Owens, D-Elizabeth City
THE BILL: Increases the legal gross weight of trucks hauling agricultural crops to local markets another notch, from 88,000 pounds to 90,000 pounds.
BOTTOM LINE: DOT argued that "increasing the weight of vehicles using state highways speeds up the rate at which those highways are damaged," but legislators rejected its position.
'NO' VOTES: Six
SENATE BILL 1115 Transportation of Wood Chips and Other Wood Products
THE BILL: Allows trucks hauling wood chips and other wood products to increase the gross weight by 5 percent, their single-axle weight by 10 percent and their tandem-axle weight by a little more than 10 percent beyond the legal limit.
BOTTOM LINE: This provision was inserted in a 197-page budget bill by House and Senate negotiators and was voted on as part of the budget.
'NO' VOTES: 53
SENATE BILL 1043 Aggregate Truck Weight Limits
SPONSOR: Sen. John A. Garwood, R-North Wilkesboro
THE BILL: Cuts in half the fines for overweight haulers of bulk soil, rock, sand, sand rock or asphalt millings and allows them to carry extra weight from sites that do not have a certified scale. These are the same breaks the legislature handed out earlier to trucks hauling wood chips, sawdust, mulch or tree bark.
BOTTOM LINE: The bill also makes it harder to enforce overweight laws: Under this legislation, drivers of all trucks that have a permit to carry an overweight load no longer have to carry the permit with them. If they get caught, they have 30 days to produce the permit.
'NO' VOTES: Two

I’ve been working with my dreams over the past several months. I’m keeping a dream journal and noticing how my intuition provides answers, cloaked in dream images, to the questions and challenges in my life. It’s a rewarding process. It helps me to go deeper into areas where I need to learn new tools and lessons, as well as connecting me more strongly with my creativity and spirituality.
Over the past week, I’ve noticed an interesting new dream phenomenon. After my weekend intensive workshop, I noticed one morning when I woke up that I’d been dreaming of one of the other workshop participants – I’ll call her Ella (all names are changed to protect privacy). I’ve gotten to know her better over the past year or two and have done other magickal work with her. I didn’t have a memory of us doing anything in particular in the dreams, just her presence and an echo of her name and energy. It made sense at the time – I’d been thinking of her because we’d just been in sacred space together and because I like her.
A couple of days later, I had a similar experience with another woman, who I’ll call Kelly. She’s an acquaintance of mine. We met once at a party and struck up a casual Facebook friendship based on a shared sense of humor and attitude. I hadn’t been in touch with her lately, but the echo of her name remained in my mind when I woke up. She wasn’t in any of my actual dreams, but it was as if, after each dream ended, her name arose and I re-focused on her, then went on with the next dream. It’s a bit hard to explain, but she was like a thread running through my sleep time.
Last night it happened again, this time with a colleague of mine, who I’ll call Bette. This time I knew she had been in a difficult situation, but I wasn’t particularly focused on her before I went to sleep, so it wasn’t a conscious effort. Some subconscious part of me must have wanted to help, because this time it felt more like I’d been sending her healing energy as I slept. Again, she didn’t show up in the dreams themselves, but after each sequence, her name and energy returned to my dreaming self (strongly enough so I recalled it upon waking). I think I’ve been doing some kind of spontaneous intuitive dream healing.
When I do energy work, I make sure to ask for permission before sending someone healing. I guess I can’t really do that if I’m not conscious of what I’ll be doing in advance! Though I don’t think it’s harmful, because of course their subconscious selves have to allow the energies in order to be influenced by them. In fact, I think the whole experience is kind of cool. It’s also interesting that it has happened primarily with acquaintances or colleagues, rather than close friends or family members. I wonder if I could do dream healing more purposefully, by focusing on someone (who has given their okay) before I go to sleep. I think perhaps some experimentation is in order! Anyone want to be the recipient?

Guest review: “Beautiful Swedish inspired lodge overlooking a peaceful and tranquil lake. Lovely place for relaxing and taking things easy. Within a short drive of lovely Falmouth which has a great selection of shops, places to eat and beaches. The place was warm and snug and was very comfortable. Very simple and stylish it had everything you need. The kitchen was well equipped and although small had enough space for us to cook a decent meal. Super place, would definitely recommend.
Would ideally suit a family of four as the mezzanine bedroom is suitable for children (although not young children as the ladder is quite steep). We were five adults so was quite snug but as a family we like being close to each other. There was a beautiful lake walk, a lodge and laundry facilities . All in all a very special place. We would definitely return. Thank you Selina and Jason. we had an amazing time. You are great hosts.” – Maria

Guest review: “We had such a relaxing and enjoyable 4 night stay at Ross & Daniel’s lovely ground floor apartment. Just what we needed. From the moment we booked the apartment, checking in, throughout our whole stay and right up until check out, Ross & Daniel were so so welcoming, friendly, thoughtful & helpful. They clearly love what they do. They really did make us feel so valued and made our stay such a personal experience.
Freshly baked scones delivered to our apartment was fantastic! These two lovely guys are by far the best hosts we’ve had. When we left, it felt like we were saying bye to friends, despite only knowing them for 4 days. The apartment was spotless and so comfortable. Had all the amenities we needed for our stay. Bed was super comfy and we slept so well! The apartment was very stylish and modern, with a lovely boutique feel to it.
The location was perfect for us, right in the centre of the village and within strolling distance to all the pubs, shops, restaurants & cafes. Despite being close to the harbour and a small street running alongside the apartment windows, the noise was negligible and there was no need to use the ear plugs provided.
The parking permit was an added bonus (we’ve not had this with some of the other places we’ve stayed in, within Mevagissey), with the allocated parking only short 5 minute walk towards the end of harbour wall. I would most certainly recommend The Pilchard Press to couples looking for a relaxing getaway in the beautiful Mevagissey. We both hope to be able to stay again in the future!” – Andrew, September 2020

Hot tubs are also available for rent during the winter months for £20 per day!
Guest review: “We had a wonderful week at Lower Marsh Farm! Very private and secluded, the welcome hamper was a really lovely touch that made us feel instantly welcome. It was very clean and well stocked with pretty much everything you could need (for coffee lovers there is a cafetiere – so bring some ground coffee with you). We also had a wonderful afternoon tea ready for when we arrived, if you’re thinking about it I would recommend adding this on as it was fantastic – best scones we had!
We used the barn as a base to explore a fair bit of Cornwall, it was our first visit so had a lot of things on our list. Pretty much everything is in relatively easy reach, we made it down as far as Penzance one day. There are also some well-mapped walks on the farm, we did a little stomp down to the river through the woodland which was really nice.
The hot tub in the garden was great to have, the stove takes a fair bit of getting used to (if, like us, you’re not used to wood burners!) but Steve very kindly helped us get it going – and gave us some tips. Once you get the hang of it it’s very easy to do! If you’re looking for a relaxing retreat from daily life or a lovely base to explore Cornwall and Devon I couldn’t recommend Lower Marsh Farm more, we will be back” – Jess, October 2020

Whoever Tells the Best Story Wins: How to Use Your Own Stories to Communicate with Power and Impact by Annette Simmons is an invaluable resource to anyone who wants to be an author or speaker.
What I Like
Simmons really helps the reader focus on their stories, but she goes beyond simply helping you recognize a good story. She helps you categorize your stories and put them into perspective. First, Simmons explains the six different types of stories. Then, she walks you through a series of exercises as you learn the four different methods for telling each type of story.
One feature of the book that I found to be most helpful is all the writing space. It is very convenient to write things exactly where you are going to see them, with the topics you are given. It no only makes the book a great resource, it helps you write the stories when they are fresh in your mind as the text helps you recall them. It would be very cumbersome to read the book and write your stories in a separate journal. Fortunately, Simmons provides enough space that you really shouldn’t find it necessary to keep a separate book just for writing.
What I really enjoyed about Whoever Tells the Best Story Wins is that the chapters are so well organized that my stories are, too. With them in an outline of sorts, I can easily transfer them to a book, article, or speech.
I recommend this book for anyone who wants to be an author or speaker. I first read parts of Whoever Tells the Best Story Wins in a class at Regent University. As with many of my textbooks, I held onto it with the expectation that I would need it as a resource one day in the future. I am so glad I did. I am working my way through the book from start to finish, and I really look forward to the stories, and speeches, that will come out of it.

Disputing your Rates Notice - based on valuation.
It's that time of year again when we all receive our rates notices and open them to find (more than likely) that your rates have gone up substantially. Whilst the Government caps the amount of overall income a council can increase (this year at 3.5%) the rate cap does not apply to our individual homes. Valuations that fluctuate each year are what drives how much you will pay. This sees some people get unfair increases of 20-40% in a single year. Whilst you can't refuse to pay rates, you can get help with a payment plan if struggling. That aside if your valuation looks too high (Valuations are completed on 1st Jan every year) then you can object. We know that many properties across Victoria have seen a reasonable or significant decline in value since January 1st. So what can you do?
You can use our form as a guide on how to object to your valuation Download Guide
You can register with us for assistance (we have a qualified valuer who assists us)
Head to the Vic government objection portal to lodge your valuation objection
The good news is, it's FREE!
Whilst we don't charge or accept money for assistance, we are always appreciative of people becoming PAYING members or donating to us, after all, we are volunteers who do this for free to serve our community.

EUGENE -- A peerless performance by Anna Hall led Florida to the women’s team title Saturday at Hayward Field in the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Hall won the heptathlon with 6,385 points, falling just short of the collegiate record.
If that wasn’t enough, she placed second in the open 400 hurdles, wedging the race between between the heptathlon’s javelin and 800-meter events, the final two of the seven-event competition.
In all, she gave the Gators an 18-point boost to their winning total of 74 points. Pre-meet favorite Texas was second with 64.
It was a good show on a rainy afternoon before 9,162.
The Oregon Ducks, a traditional college track and field power, weren’t in the conversation.
The Oregon women finished 11th with 20 points. The UO men were also rans too. They scored 11 points and tied for 25th in the men’s competition, which ended Friday.
The last time the Ducks finished outside the top 10 in both the men’s and women’s team competition at an NCAA meet was 2006.
There has been speculation about the job status of UO coach Robert Johnson. A reporter for Runner’s World asked him to respond to a thread on an internet message board about his future as coach on Tuesday during the pre-meet news conference.
Johnson deflected, saying he hadn’t seen the speculation. When she followed up to ask if there was any truth to the speculation, he again said he hadn’t seen it.
Johnson did not come through the interview area Saturday following the meet. He did a phone interview with a reporter from the Register-Guard. He agreed to do a phone interview with The Oregonian, but did not.
The university did release comments from Johnson in which he lauded the way his women’s team competed.
“It was a disappointing weekend for our men, definitely a tough way to end the season,” Johnson said. “But it’s something we’ll look at, and always look at, win or lose, as we evaluate the year.”
The Ducks had some good moments on Saturday. The 4x100 relay of Jadyn Mays, Kemba Nelson, Jasmin Reed and Jasmine Montgomery finished third in a season’s best time of 42.59. Texas won in 42.42.
Less than an hour later Nelson battled Julien Alfred of Texas to the finish line of the 100. Alfred won, but it took a photograph to separate the two, both timed in 11.02. Officially, Alfred’s margin of victory was .005 of a second.
“I knew it was close,” Nelson said. “I knew I was there.”
Unfortunately, so was Alfred.
“I felt like I reached for the line,” Nelson said. “Maybe that’s where I lost — the lean. The fight going to the line is a good feeling. Just the timing of the lean could have been better.”
Hall, meanwhile, was the star of the meet. She had to talk Florida coach Mike Holloway into adding the 400 hurdles to her workload.
Already the 2022 USA Track & Field heptathlon champion, she was a prohibitive favorite here, with a real shot at the meet’s heptathlon meet record of 6,527 set by Diane Guthrie that has stood since 1995.
The grueling 400 hurdles added another level of difficulty to the task.
“I knew it was going to be really, really hard,” Hall said.
Britton Wilson of Arkansas won the 400 hurdles in 53.86 seconds. Hall came across in 54.76.
She had less than 15 minutes between the end of the hurdles race and the start of the heptathlon 800.
When the 800 started, Hall said she still was out of breath. Fighting through weary legs on the first lap, she forgot about the heptathlon record and concentrated on finishing the race.
When she crossed in 2:21.23, she collapsed on her back, and lay on the track long enough a trainer came out to check. Eventually, she got to her feet.
“It was brutal,” Hall said.
Courtney Wayment of BYU ran away with the 3,000-meter steeplechase. She won by more than nine seconds in 9:16.00, destroying the meet record of 9:24.41 held by Courtney Frerichs of New Mexico since 2016.
In her wake, Kaylee Mitchell and Grace Fetherstonhaugh of Oregon State finished sixth and 10th respectively.
Mitchell’s sixth-place finish in 9:34.59 broke her own school record of 9:41.51 set in the prelims, and earned OSU three team points.
Those are the first points the Beavers have scored in an NCAA meet since 1986, when Connie Peterka placed sixth in the javelin.

How thick do you want your hair to be? This can be a great challenge for any person, but it’s an even greater challenge when it comes to fighting hair loss. Most people want to have hair that is full of luster. But, if you’re losing your hair, you may feel like you don’t have much choice. The good news is that you have options no matter how thick or thin your hair is now.
You may already know that the conditioners that you use on your hair can actually help to make it thicker. There are many of them on the market. One of them is Conditioner X. Just apply it to your hair and let it sit in overnight. This will help to thicken your hair. It’s important that you rinse out all of the shampoo in the morning with water so you don’t get any of it on your scalp.
Olive oil is another great natural substance that can help to thicken hair. It works by penetrating deep into the root of your hair to unclog any blockages that may be present. It has the ability to strengthen the strands, which in turn makes them stronger. Try to massage it into your hair after every bath or shower.
Another way to learn how thick hair grows is by using olive oil. This is a very effective way to stimulate hair growth. Just rub it into your hair after every shampoo. Leave it in overnight and then wash it out in the morning with hot water. This should increase the thickness of your hair within a few weeks.
You should take a vitamin daily that focuses on hair health. Some of these vitamins focus on promoting blood flow in the scalp. By doing this, it increases the amount of nutrients that can be used by your hair follicles. This makes your hair grow even thicker.
Make sure you are getting plenty of water into your daily routine. Doing so helps to keep your scalp and hair properly hydrated. It also makes your hair stronger and healthier overall. Your hair will be stronger if it has access to all the nutrients it needs, so make sure to give it every nutrient it needs.
One of the best ways how thick hair grows is by increasing circulation. Scalp massage is the best way to stimulate this. It should involve both your mind and your hands. Simply use your fingertips to massage your hair. After each stroke, massage it deeper to increase its circulation. This should leave your hair fuller and more luxurious looking.
The last step to learn how thick hair grows is to keep it well-hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Also, eat a lot of fruits and vegetables as these contain vitamins that are good for the growth of your hair. These vitamins will give you a very healthy head of hair. If you stick with it, you’ll soon see how thick hair you’ve been trying to grow is all worth it.
To further increase how thick hair grows, treat your hair with care. Hair doesn’t come with shampooers, so don’t go shampooing it too often. Shampooing can dry out your hair and make it less manageable. Also, be careful not to wash your hair too often either. Giving your hair some breathing room between washes will keep your mane hair spray review in the best shape possible.
Finally, use heat to promote growth. Heat works well on short strands. You can add a hot towel to your hair before you go to bed to soften your tresses. This will give your hair more body. Just be sure not to overdo it.
There are tons of products for how thick hair people try. A great many of them do not work. For one thing, they only address the surface of your problem. They do not take care of the root cause. If you want to see thicker hair, you have to get to the real cause.
So how thick hair really comes about? Well, the best way is to make sure that you are doing everything you can to increase blood circulation within your scalp. This will encourage hair growth to follow. Also, remember that you need to provide your hair with the nutrients that will help it grow. These can include vitamins, minerals, and hair products.
