Have you ever tried to explain an old habit…It’s just the way I am.
Have you ever felt resigned to your life…This is the way my life is.
Have you ever held onto an on-going issue (with a relationship, health, money, weight, etc.)…It’s always been this way.
Friend, those are excuses and excuses keep you stuck.
Yep, we’ve all done it, at one time or another, we’ve made an excuse.
Why do we make excuses when we know that by making changes our life will be better.
My experience with myself, and with my clients, has brought me to the understanding that excuses stem from a host of fears: fear of failure, fear of success, fear of change, fear of embarrassment, fear of responsibility, fear of being made wrong, fear of messing up…the list of fears go on.
I know all about holding onto a fear because I’ve held onto the fear of technology. Anything to do with learning about my website, iphone, even Facebook seems beyond me. Why have I held onto this fear?
I decided to get to the bottom of my fear. So while meditating I asked, Where does this fear come from? Immediately I saw a memory of using my former husband’s computer. Guess what? It crashed!!
I was horrified! I felt 100% responsible for the crash.
No wonder I’m afraid of technology. I fear I’ll mess everything up and lose my creations. (Or someone else’s)
The question is, will I hang onto that fear and have to keep relying on others to get things done?
Or will I break through my excuse by moving through my fear and take back my power?
Hmmm…Which would you do?
Would you keep your feeling of powerlessness? Or would you move through your fear and take back your power?
I choose to break through. I choose power!
So here’s what I’ll do to break through my excuse and move through my fear: (And what you can do too!)
Let go of judging my (your) excuses by looking at my (your) excuse/fear with eyes of compassion. (After all, I did it to try and protect my work. And you did it to take care of some kind of need.)
Go back to the memory and create a new one the way I wished it would have been, and relive it over and over again until I FEEL that the new image is true in my heart. (Create a story/image of you succeeding)
Begin learning technology one baby step at a time, and while learning it talk calmly and lovingly to myself: It’s okay you can learn this. It’s okay if you make a mistake. You’re doing the best you can. (You too can take baby steps.)
Friend, to break through your excuses you must believe you can overcome your fears.
First and foremost, you have to be willing to not judge yourself! Any self-judgement will only keep you stuck in your fear (your excuse).
If you’ll look for the reason you have the fear…believe me you have one…it will be easier to let go of your judgement.
Once you let go of your judgment you can begin the process of moving through your fear, of breaking through your excuse.
So dear-heart, are you ready to wipe out your judgement, to break through your excuse and move through your fear…and take back your POWER?
If you would like some assistance in breaking through, in regaining your power…
I have the course for you.

On picturesque Vancouver Island, west of Parksville, you'll find the scenic Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. The name of this park does not disappoint; there are two different waterfalls accessible to visitors. The surrounding old-growth forest is the perfect backdrop as the waterfalls cascade into the canyon below. When you hear about beautiful British Columbia, this is exactly the type of place worthy of such high praise.
This provincial park, located north of the ferry city of Nanaimo, was created in 1940 and covers a total of 97 hectares (240 acres). The goal was to provide protection for the old-growth forest of Douglas fir. It also protects the local plants, animal habitat, and the areas surrounding the river and both falls. This protection enables visitors access to an outdoor playground in the Pacific Northwest. Popular activities here include hiking along the river and to the two rushing waterfalls, swimming, and hiking.
RV camping is the ideal way to experience everything Englishman River Falls has to offer. The setting is gorgeous with giant old-growth trees and campsites are a short walk to the river and both upper and lower falls. The area has all you need to for a wonderful, relaxing RV road trip.
Travel to Vancouver Island is done by plane or by ferry. To avoid taking your rental RV on the ferry and worrying about size limits and extra cost, you are better off finding the rental on the Island instead. Check out the options in the nearby cities of Victoria, Nanaimo, and Parksville.
From Nanaimo, you'll travel through miles of forest on Highway 19 past the Qualicum National Wildlife Area and Englishman River Regional Park. Once in Parksville, you will head south through Errington to reach the park.
This area of the Pacific Northwest sees a lot of rain, especially during the offseason, so be prepared for it. Watch out for wildlife that might venture onto the road.
There is a large parking area in the Englishman River Falls day-use area suitable for trailers and motorhomes. Camping is also provided at the campground.
Open from May to September, this campground has a total of 104 campsites on the Englishman River. If you want to reserve in advance, 72 of the sites are open to reservations and the rest are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The sites are pet-friendly and most offer at least partial shade for your comfort. You will also have easy access to all the amenities of the park's day-use area from here.
The campsites at Englishman River Falls are primitive with no hookups and camping here is more of a wilderness experience. There are no showers and only pit toilets onsite. There is a flush toilet in the day-use area that campers can use if needed.
Each campsite has a gravel pad and its own campfire pit and picnic table. Staying at this wonderful, relaxing campground is a sure-fire way to maximize your time at Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. Both falls are within walking distance of your campsite on set trails.
If the Englishman River levels are low enough, visitors can enjoy a refreshing dip in the deep pool of the lower falls. The water is clear and cool, although swimming here is at your own risk.
If you head the short distance back to Parksville, you won't regret spending a day at the popular Parksville Bay beach. There's a reason this small city on the Island is known as Canada's Riviera. The endless sandy beach and water temperatures of up to 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) make this a great stop in the hot summer months. The similar beach at Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park is also nearby.
The day-use area of the park has a large picnic area to delight visitors. It's located close to a parking area and just past the campground. For convenience, there's a picnic shelter, tables, taps for drinking water, and flush toilets. The best part of this location is the nearby platform overlooking the river and the lush forest that surrounds you.
If you are visiting Englishman River Regional Park, there is an excellent camping spot here too. The Long Run Area is the site of steelhead spawning in the fall set right along the river. Seating is provided here as well as information about the important area.
There are no trails at Englishman River Provincial Park that can be used by equestrians, but horse lovers can simply make the short trip to Englishman River Regional Park instead. There are horse ranches and acres of trails all around.
The recreational trail within this regional park is perfect for equestrians. It has horse crossings over the river and travels from the city of Parksville in the southwest to the salmon hatchery in the northeast part of the park. Along the way you follow the clear river and are surrounded by towering trees.
There are no specific accommodations for horses at Englishman River Falls Campground so if you're traveling with your horse, you'll need to make alternate arrangements.
Cyclists can ride on the park's roads and on the designated trails. Helmets are required to cycle in British Columbia, and you should be prepared to encounter animals along the way. Stay aware when riding as you may cross paths with a bear. The trails within the park are shared with hikers, and all trail closures must be respected.
The multi-use trails in the park consist of the Upper and Lower Milky Way Trail and the Big and Little Dipper Loops. All in all, over 3km (1.9 miles) of trails are yours to explore.
A visit to Englishman River Falls Provincial Park is not complete without a hike around the magnificent grounds. Hit the trails that meander through the park and every year the park creates more trails for additional exploration.
The main trail in the park is ideal if you're looking for views of the waterfalls from above. This trail offers two different options for a breathtaking bird's eye view of the falls where the trail crosses the river.
Off the main trail, there are other trails that travel from the campground to the falls. They follow the river and offer views of the upper and lower falls as well as the canyon.
If you happen to be traveling to this provincial park in the fall, you're in luck. This is the time to view salmon spawning in the river. Since the salmon are in the area, you may also get the chance to see a wild black bear. During bear season, make sure all pets are leashed and any food products are safely stored.
Other local wildlife here includes bald eagles, cougars, Roosevelt elk, and deer. Your camera and binoculars are must-pack items for your trip to Englishman River Falls Provincial Park.

Israelis outraged by UNESCO decision on Hebron holy site File - In this Monday, Jan. 14, 2013 file photo, Israeli border police stand guard on the site known to Jews as the Tomb of the Patriarchs, and to Muslims as the Ibrahimi Mosque, in the West Bank city of Hebron. The UNESCO World Heritage committee on Friday, July 7, 2017 put the West Bank city of Hebron on its list of world heritage in danger, a contentious decision that has drawn outrage from Israel. (AP Photo/Bernat Armangue, File) JERUSALEM (AP) — The U.N. cultural agency on Friday declared the old city in the West Bank town of Hebron as a Palestinian world heritage site, a decision that outraged Israeli officials who say the move negated the deep Jewish ties to the biblical town and its ancient shrine. The move was the latest chapter in Israel's contentious relationship with UNESCO, an agency it accuses of being an anti-Israeli tool that makes decisions out of political considerations. While the Palestinians welcomed the action, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "another delusional decision by UNESCO."

Nutritional Phases in Prader-Willi Syndrome: Evolutionary and Clinical Interpretations
Author(s): Jennifer Kotler, Karen Balko, Glenn Berall, and David Haig
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by a lack of expression of paternally-expressed imprinted genes at human chromosome 15q11-13 and is characterized by a switch from infant anorexia to childhood hyperphagia. A recent multiphase staging system recognizes gradual changes between the anorexic and hyperphagic phases of PWS. We undertook to use clinical records from an independent population to assess the multiphase system and explore the implications for the evolution of distinctive features of human childhood. Medical records of 258 clinic visits by 55 patients with PWS were reviewed with a focus on appetite and feeding. These clinical records were found to be inadequate for placing patients into particular phases of the multiphase system. Under the multiphase system, the onset of hyperphagia in PWS appears to coincide more with the timing of adrenarche than weaning from the breast and this timing should frame future evolutionary hypotheses. We discuss challenges encountered while attempting to use clinical data to explore evolutionary questions, but also identify useful information contained in the records.

I have more than 10 years of registered nursing experience with the bulk of my experience in emergency medicine. I have worked primarily in critical access medical facilities ranging in location, allowing me the opportunity to provide care to patients from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
I live on a small ranch (the 13-12 ranch) located in Sebeka with my husband Jamie, two dogs (Chibi and Sally), multiple horses, cattle, and one Miss-Kitty. I grew up in Cedar, MN, and graduated from St. Francis High School. I loved growing up in rural Minnesota and could not imagine living anywhere else other than in the country.
What inspired you to get into medicine?
I love medicine, and I like to do what I can to help others. Working in the medical field provides the opportunity to do what I love and provide needed mental health services to people in rural communities. To say that there is a need for psychiatric and mental health services in rural communities would be an understatement; I look forward to improving access to care to rural Minnesota.
Why did you choose Tri-County Health Care?
Tri-County is committed to providing individualized care and is also committed to improving the health in our rural populations. The organization continues to push for growth and expansion; I am excited to be a part of this dynamic organization.
What do you like to do in your downtime?
Jamie and I love trail riding and horse camping whenever we can. We like to keep the ranch looking good, and there is always a fencing project or some sort of ranch-related task to complete. Ultimately, I am solar powered, so any chance I can get to be out walking the dogs, riding horses, or working in the yard, I take full advantage!
What is one interesting, unique or fun thing that most people may know about you?
My compassion to help whenever possible does not stop at humans. I once used my ball cap to move tadpoles from a water hole that was rapidly drying up to a larger water hole where they would have a better chance of survival. I break for bees, frogs, and snakes while cutting grass. I will move worms off of the concrete back to the sod after a rain when things are starting to dry up. I love almost all critters and do what I can to help them survive – with the exception being spiders!!

That's the sensor for the computer. There should be one to the right of the distributor in the intake itself that screws in vertically instead of horizontally like the one you replaced. It'll have one wire attached. That's the one for the guage in the cluster.
I found the other sensor that you're referring to. I plan to pick it up today. Then I hope to have a working temp gauge. Now since I put the actual sensor in, that's in the pic, the check engine light is off. The thing runs better than it ever has.

Dubai Condo Hotel Sale
The effective investment in Condo Hotel Apartments
Dubai is to the Middle East what Hong Kong is to Asia: a capitalist boom town buzzing with activity. Most visitors to the region stop here for at least a day to browse the shops, eat in the restaurants and soak up the atmosphere of a city that oozes wealth and a general air of self-satisfied confidence.
Nestled between the languid Southern Gulf waters and sweeping desert, cosmopolitan Dubai is blessed by a superb year-round climate, and with its numerous opulent hotels, towering attractions, peerless shopping, stunning entertainment and commercial opportunities, makes Dubai an ideal destination for the traveler enjoying a luxury vacation or business trip.
Dubai’s cityscape is undergoing dramatic redevelopment, with a number of record-breaking projects – including the planet’s tallest five-star deluxe hotel (the Burj al-Arab), largest man-made marina (Dubai Marina) and largest man-made island (Palm Islands) – in progress. The Dubai Waterfront project is set to add 500 miles of man-made waterfront filled with canals and hotel-rich islands: a development the size of Manhattan!
Vast investment in luxury golf and entertainment resorts – such as Dubailand and Dubai Golf City – means the city is set for even more dramatic growth as a prestige destination, and Dubai’s strategic Middle East location has made it popular as an international convention city.
Recognized as one of Asia’s premier shopping cities, Dubai’s tax-free shopping attracts visitors with its range of quality goods, notably gold and jewelry, electrical items and stylish fashions from Europe. The city’s fine department stores, malls, boutiques and souks are complemented by a first-rate airport shopping center and even retail festivals – adding a dash more entertainment to an already heady retail scene. Dubai is a world-class venue for many top sporting events: the Dubai Desert Classic Golf Tournament, the Dubai Tennis Championships, Sevens Rugby Union tournament, Emirates off-shore Power Boat Grand Prix, and the UAE Desert Motorsport Challenge amongst them. Perhaps the city’s blue riband sporting event is the world’s richest horse race, the Dubai World Cup – a thrilling night time spectacle contested at the Nad Al Sheba track that attracts the finest thoroughbreds from around the globe.
Amongst Dubai’s foremost outdoor attractions are its breathtaking golf courses: layouts such as Creek Golf & Yacht Club and the Emirates Golf Club set a memorable challenge. Take a desert safari or try the unusual desert pastime of ice skating at the rink in the Galleria shopping mall.
With its surfeit of great restaurants, bars, live music venues and nightclubs, Dubai offers full-on evening entertainment, after which you can retire to truly luxurious accommodation. Dubai offers over 400 luxury hotels, meeting the needs of the most discerning guests. Many of the world’s most prominent hotel chains operate star-class hotels in the Emirates, among them being the seven-star Burj Al Arab. Even the standard facilities are exceptional with swimming pools, tennis courts and fully equipped health centers coming as standard. Top hotels generally offer a choice of fine restaurants, with several waterfront hotels having excellent beaches and extensive watersports facilities.

Prague, Feb 5 (CTK) – Czech President Milos Zeman’s closest aides recommended to him on Tuesday to seek re-election in 2018 and he told public Czech Television (CT) yesterday that the recommendation was made by all seven of his collaborators, which will influence his decision-making.
Zeman said if he runs, he will address citizens and that he would consider support from political parties or movements a gesture.
The Tuesday meeting on Zeman’s possible candidature was attended by Presidential Office head Vratislav Mynar, adviser Martin Nejedly, foreign department head Hynek Kmonicek and Radek analytical department director Radek Augustin.
Zeman said his aides told him that he rested enough and pointed to the ten years he spent at his country home in Vysocina after he retired in 2002.
He said he will announce his decision on candidature for a second five-year term at a meeting with his supporters on the 4th anniversary nof his inauguration in the evening on March 9.
Zeman said the negative side of presidency is that he does not have enough time to read, while one positive thing is that the Czech president can have friendl relations with the Russian, Chinese and U.S. presdient.
CT said if Zeman is running again, he will be collecting the 50,000 needed citizens’s signatures.
“If I decide to run again, I will be turning to all citizens, irrespective of their party sympathy,” Zeman told CT.
“If any party or any movement decides to support me, I will considers this a sympathetic gesture, but not something that would be decisive,” Zeman said.
With support of 50,000 signatures, Zeman also ran in the previous presidential election, the first direct one. The signatures were gathered by the Party of Citizens’ Rights – the Zemanites, of which he was an honorary chairman at that time.
Zeman was elected in early 2013 and his term will expire in March 2018.
The Senate is to discuss an amendment to the election law that defines the conditions of collection of signatures in March.
Media have written that Zeman’s health condition might be an obstacle to his candidature. He has problems walking because he suffers from polyfunctional neuropathy.
Recently, Zeman said his health condition is stabilised.
He will turn 73 in September.
An official candidature for president has as yet been announced by businessman and lyricist Michal Horacek, businessman Igor Sladek and physician and activist Marek Hilser.


In the course of the discussions speakers and participants dwelled on four key areas:
Recognising the diversity of learning
“Learning can happen in so many different places and we have to continue to demonstrate that,” stressed MEP Julie Ward. The audience heard testimonies from different sectors of learning, all crucial in their own right for the development of skills required by individuals across different life contexts, including adult education, higher education, VET, non-formal education as well as the less obvious field of sports. Bart Verschueren, Coordinator of EU Sport Link and representative of the International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA), emphasised the idea of physical literacy explaining: “sports help to include people in society and promote well-being. It is an essential part of lifelong learning.”
Investing in European cooperation
MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen made a strong plea to Member States to see the value of European cooperation and pooling of resources when it comes to skills policies: “We hope that we can encourage the Member States to see that lifelong learning is a European issue.” She added that it is a macroeconomic issue and so mechanisms such as the European Semester have a role to play. Margarida Segard, Vice-President of the European Association of Institutes for Vocational Training (EVBB), recommended further connecting the European and national levels in order to truly foster innovation.
Mainstreaming skills and policy synergies
Johanna Koponen, representative of the Finnish Presidency, emphasised its interest to promoting continuous learning by taking synergies between sectors further, notably through the first-ever joint Education and Economic and Financial Affairs Council meeting on 8 November. Roman Horvath from DG GROW stressed the skills needs from the perspective of industry, explaining that both technical and soft skills are required. However, this needs to be reflected within the institutions through more robust cooperation, recalled Lucie Susova, Vice-President of the Lifelong Learning Platform: “I hope that the (new Commission) President will mainstream skills issues holistically instead of having silos between DGs where they find it difficult to cooperate.” Strengthening cooperation between different sectors of education, formal and non-formal, was likewise highlighted by several speakers including Fabrice Gonet, Interim Secretary-General of the European Federation for Intercultural Learning (EFIL) and Gina Ebner, Secretary-General of the European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA). Learning also needs to happen in a more multidisciplinary way, taking account of psychology, neuroscience and through a more integrated research agenda, commented Mirela Mazalu, Secretary-General of the European University College Association (EucA).
Promoting skills not only for the workforce
The idea that education and lifelong learning are not only for the acquisition of labour market skills was evoked throughout the debate. Mónika Képe-Holmberg from DG EAC said this is clear in the cooperation between Member States, where the ET2020 framework deals with issues such as inclusion, inequalities and innovation in education. Ms Ebner explained EAEA’s Life Skills for Europe project which offers a holistic approach: “In our project, we developed a framework that identifies skills that every person needs in their personal and professional life. Education providers can adapt it to their own needs, starting from the learner’s needs.” Francesca Caena from the Joint Research Centre (JRC) also stressed the different facets of the Life Competence (LifeComp) framework, currently under development, which conceives learners as agents of change, integrating cross-cutting skills such as critical thinking, intercultural understanding and offering “the advantage of straddling employment, education and lifelong learning”.
The Lifelong Learning Platform and the European Association for the Education of Adults look forward to continuing constructive dialogue with the new European Commission and Parliament to embed a holistic approach to skills policies in the years to come.
Initiated in 2015 by the Lifelong Learning Platform and the European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA), and chaired by MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen (Finland, EPP), the Interest Group on Lifelong Learning brings together civil society representatives and MEPs to discuss key issues connected to lifelong learning in Europe.

Game of the Week – Rich Diamonds Hold and Win
What could be more fun than fruit pokies? How about fruit pokies with free spins, bonus features, and multiple static jackpots? Rich Diamonds Hold and Win is the latest 5-Reel, 10 payline fruit pokie from Playson. This game has some awesome bonus features and three static jackpots.
Rich Diamonds Hold and Win Takes Fruit Pokies to the Extreme
If you’ve read my reviews, you know I love fruit pokies. When I saw Playson had released Rich Diamonds Hold and Win, I just had to try it out. It is a 5-Reel, 10 payline pokie with all of your standard symbols and Red 7 wild. The wild substitutes for everything but the bonus and scatter symbol. It also pays on three or more on a payline.
Like many fruit pokies, the payouts for single-line wins are better than average. Lower paying symbols pay .5x your bet on three of a kind, while the other symbols will do no worse than break even on a single payline.
Sometimes this means that the game will have a bit more variance, but this game is perfectly medium in variance. The bonus features for this game can really help you to score some big wins.
There are Giant diamonds with prize amounts that will appear at random on the reels. Land six or more on the board, and you’ll trigger the Bonus Game feature. This is a Hold and Win feature where the triggering diamonds will remain and the other blocks spin. You’ll start with three spins and every time you land a new diamond, the spins will reset.
This feature continues until you run out of spins or trigger the Grand jackpot. I was able to trigger this feature twice. The first time I won 54x my bet. The second time, I got 14x my bet.
Free Spins Game
The Free Spins star symbol is the scatter for this game. To trigger the free spins game feature, you must land a scatter on Reel 1, 3, and 5. If that happens, you’ll get 5 free spins. While that doesn’t sound like much, Reels 2 through 4 will combine to make giant symbols.
This gives you the chance to make some massive wins. If you catch a giant scatter symbol, you’ll get three extra spins. Catch a giant Bonus symbol and you will not only trigger the bonus game but you’ll also get a prize up to $200.
This feature is difficult to trigger. I was unable to do so during my testing, but your results may vary.
Three Static Jackpots
There are three jackpots that can be triggered during the Bonus Game feature. The Mini and Major jackpots are triggered when those symbols appear on a diamond during the bonus game. The Mini jackpot is worth 30x your bet while the Major jackpot is worth 100x your bet.
To trigger the Grand jackpot, you must fill every block with a diamond during the bonus game. If this happens, you will win the Grand jackpot worth 2,000x your initial bet.
The great thing about static jackpots is that they are available at all stakes. Even at .10 per spin, you can win $3, $10, or $200 for the jackpots. Since they are triggered during the bonus game, you have better odds of triggering at least one of these jackpots.
Rich Diamonds Hold and Win a Perfect Example of Medium Variance
Medium variance pokies give you a nice balance of smaller wins while giving you a chance to hit some massive scores. Rich Diamonds is a perfect example of a medium variance pokie. I scored some nice wins in both the base game and the bonus games. While I didn’t trigger the free spins feature, I still managed to book a winning session.
The RTP for this game is 95.6%, which makes it perfectly average. This game is great for those wanting to play jackpot pokies, but don’t want the crazy variance you see with progressive jackpot pokies. Rich Diamonds Hold and Win can be found at Wild Card City, King Johnnie Casino, and all online casinos in Australia offering Playson pokies.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — If you’ve logged on to Facebook recently and received a message about your account, you’re not alone.
Some people are getting alerts to secure their account. It’s called Facebook Protect.
According to Facebook, it’s required, if you get the notification.
Florida’s controversial car title transfer bill ‘dead,’ sponsor says
It reads, “Your account has the potential to reach a lot of people, so we require stronger security. We built this security program to help defend accounts like yours.”
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, says to help defend against targeted attacks and potential hacking threats, it’s requiring Facebook Protect for some accounts.
“What it is, is for accounts that have large audiences or are government officials, to try and stop those accounts being taken over or compromised and disinformation being put out,” USF criminology professor Tom Hyslip said. “It’s good they’re requiring it of these high profile accounts.”
The program checks your account for vulnerabilities and makes sure you’re signed up for two-factor authentication.
Facebook says you have to turn on the security program by March 17. If you don’t, it will lock you out until you turn it on.
Tampa non-profit working to evacuate Americans from Ukraine
Tom Hyslip is a criminology professor at USF. He believes there are a couple of reasons why Facebook is expanding this requirement.
“Now with the new elections coming up they’re rolling it our further and then the war with Russia Ukraine, Russia has serious cyber abilities so I think they’re taking that as an opportunity to keep pushing it out to more people for more protection,” Hyslip said.
Hyslip says even if you’re not required to enroll now, you should still protect your account.
“The Facebook protect is for noteworthy accounts with a lot of followers, but the two-factor authentication is something everyone can and should do,” Hyslip said.
Facebook says you don’t have to do anything unless you get a notification that you’re eligible to enroll.
If you decide to do it later, you can turn on Facebook Protect from security settings. It plans to expand the program this year.

PITTSBURGH, PA.—Jussi Jokinen scored in regulation and then got the game-winner in the shootout, lifting the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-3 victory over the playoff-bound Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night.
James Neal scored two power-play goals in regulation — his 25th and 26th of the season — for Pittsburgh, which got defenceman Kris Letang back for the first time since he suffered a stroke 10 weeks ago.
Tomas Jurco, Jakub Kindl and Riley Sheahan scored for the Red Wings, who are headed to the post-season for the 23rd straight time.
Penguins’ goalie Marc-Andre Fleury had 34 saves through overtime and stopped all three attempts in the shootout, including a spinning acrobatic glove save on Daniel Alfredsson to preserve the win.
On the winning goal, Jonas Gustavsson poked the puck off Jokinen’s stick but it caromed high over the Detroit goalie and into the net.

Woman Assaults Boyfriend For Refusing To Cuddle
Sometimes, it's just too hot for love. This is "Crappy News" for Tuesday, May 22nd.
Hellertown, PA- Police were called to break up a brawl...at a wedding reception.
Police received reports of the incident Saturday night. Cops say multiple fights were going on in parking lots on either side of a banquet hall.
Police said in a statement that the brawl started with a "physical domestic dispute" in which a woman was dragged into the parking lot. As wedding guests attempted to help the woman, about 30 people got involved in the skirmish. 25-year-old Scott Brockel allegedly attacked several guests during the melee.
Brockel faces charges of aggravated assault, riot, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct. [The Morning Call]
A memorable night for this couple. For all the wrong reasons.
Cherry Hill, NJ- A principal is apologizing because "insensitive" prom tickets.
The dance was being held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, so with that historical theme in mind, the tickets urged students to "party like it's 1776." This didn't sit well with certain members of the student body, because, quote, "not all communities can celebrate what life was like in 1776."
Principal Dennis Perry wrote a letter to the community, adding, quote, "I especially apologize to our African American students, who I have let down by not initially recognizing the inappropriateness of this wording."
A representative of the NAACP realized that there was no bad intent, but said it's important to shed light on a dark part of our history. Principal Perry has told students they won't need a ticket to enter prom. [Courier-Post]
Clearwater, FL- A woman got mad at her boyfriend for shunning some sweaty snuggling.
24-year-old Jared Thompson was injured during a fight with his girlfriend on Wednesday. 31-year-old Kristy Misty Mudd (I swear that's her ACTUAL name) became upset with Thompson after he said it was too hot to cuddle.
According to police, Mudd shoved Thompson, scratched him on the face, and then started tossing furniture and other items throughout their home. By the time the cops got there, Mudd had totally destroyed the living room.
Cops say Mudd had a "distinct odor" of alcohol on her breath, and she was arrested for domestic battery. [The Smoking Gun]

text: Ms BATH (Eastern Victoria) (21:50:06): My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events in the other place, and it relates to country netball and football clubs. The action I seek from the minister is for him to initiate a comprehensive review into rural and regional football-netball clubs and the role that the AFL plays in supporting or not supporting the viability and sustainability of these clubs. Many of our country football and netball clubs are struggling to survive. Grassroots sporting clubs are the fabric of our small country towns and larger centres. They provide a place for social interaction and cohesion, physical exercise and positive mental health. They are largely run by volunteers; mums and dads and grandparents fill the committee roles. Often they are the same hardworking people that are also on the hall committees, run the school canteens, are part of the local CFA’s and are our guide and scout leaders. Many of our clubs are struggling to field teams due to a lack of numbers and crippling administrative costs. As well as senior teams, clubs are struggling to field juniors. For example, the Sale and District under-16s and Traralgon under-16s have been forced to merge due to lack of numbers. The Mid Gippsland Football League fields only four thirds teams. Other clubs have healthy memberships but are being squeezed out of existence due to changing league structures. One case in point is the Alberton Football Netball League—the other AFL. Indeed it includes my old home town of Fish Creek—that is, the great, mighty Kangaroos. It is on its knees, and it is not due to poor management but erosion of the league from its boundaries. It is landlocked, and the only option is to go and play in Tasmania, which is just not an option. By contrast, the wealthiest sporting club in our nation, AFL Victoria, receives funding from these clubs and leagues in return for supposed governance and framework. The Andrews government, rather than channelling funds into grassroots sporting activities and infrastructure, has recently granted AFL Victoria $225 million to overhaul Docklands Stadium. The broader issue is not just around infrastructure but around the fact that often rich institutions are getting richer while our small and needy country clubs are on their knees. Many club presidents have asked repeatedly for an independent review into what is working and what is not working between the AFL and country football-netball clubs. There is precedent for a government review. In 2004 the Rural and Regional Committee had a comprehensive inquiry into country football, and many of the recommendations, including in the report, had directions and directives to the AFL on coaching and development, governance and administration. This is so important to the health of our rural communities. Sport is the lifeblood of our towns, and it is very important that the minister use his influence and really step up and support these local communities and provide a comprehensive review.

Well hello there! I hope you are enjoying this hot hot week! I’m savoring every second of my free time with the summer off of school. It’s been fun having nothing really taxing to do. I’ve been in ‘work out, write, relax’ mode and it’s been an awesome taking each day as it comes.
We’re in the midst of wedding season and as a wedding guest, it’s fun to get dressed up for a beautiful night of celebrations. There’s something about a high neck sleeveless dress that’s so classic, yet not ostentatiously sexy. It’s ultra feminine and simple. I bought this dress from the Brooks Brothers outlet several summers ago (in Navy too because I loved it so much) and it has been my go-to for wedding season. It’s easy and depending on the shoes and jewelry, can be made more sophisticated or casual depending on the couple getting married. Or it’s the perfect ensemble for Church, a work event, or any occasion worth dressing up a little bit for :) I love this pastel print high neck dress from Michael Kors that is currently under $75. The cut out is kind of perfect and I love the length. It would work perfectly with the jewelry I’m pictured in above, my KS bangle & my favorite earrings. Another favorite (and one dress I’m DYING to add to my wardrobe) is this Floral Reef Dress from French Connection. I have this dress in plain white and the material is amazing and the fit exquisite. And of course the best part about it is that it is ON SALE.
I’ve linked some other sweet summer dresses that are great for formal nights, events, or just getting fancy for no reason. Sometimes its fun to do that :) Click the links below for details. Happy Hump Day!

A worker has been suspended amid an anti-Semitism row at the University of Essex.
The member of staff has been suspended while allegations are independently investigated.
The university said a Jewish society will be created on campus regardless of a vote in which more than 200 students opposed it.
Concerns have been raised by the Union of Jewish Students over posts from the Facebook account of lecturer Dr Maaruf Ali, including one that read “the Zionists next want to create a society here at our university”.
University of Essex vice-chancellor Professor Anthony Forster said: “To see the University of Essex associated with anti-Semitism has been a deeply shocking event and one which has filled me with great sadness.
“Anti-Semitism is antithetical to the values of the University of Essex and has no place at our university.
“We have a zero-tolerance approach to harassment and hate crime which is at the very core of our values and beliefs.
“We are proud to subscribe to the working definition of anti-Semitism produced by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
“Recent events have shown me we still have work to do and I am announcing a series of immediate actions to tackle all forms of anti-Semitism within our community.”
The university said it will ensure a Jewish society is created irrespective of any ratification by the students’ union.
It has launched a review to ensure Jewish students and staff are provided with unequivocal support and will hold a public event on February 28 in support of its Jewish community.
The Union of Jewish Students said it was “deeply disappointed by the significant proportion of students” who voted against the establishment of a Jewish society and “dismayed” to see comments from the Facebook account of Dr Maaruf Ali.
It said it welcomes Prof Forster’s condemnation of anti-Semitism and commends the “swift, strong and supportive action taken”.
“There is certainly still a long way to go until antisemitism is eradicated from university campuses, but we are heartened that these steps will make a significant impact on improving the lives of Jewish students at the University of Essex,” the group said.

From yesterday’s USA Today (fingered by a client):
Lawrence Yun: Consumers need to find out what is going on at the local level and not necessarily take national headline numbers as a point of reference. Sellers tend to be more stubborn in facing the reality of the market, so people who really need to sell need to come down on prices, given the high inventory and seller competition.
USA TODAY: Does the national median home price need to fall a lot more before the housing market can get moving again?
Yun: Prices need to adjust as the market dictates. Another 10% fall in some markets could occur. However, I doubt prices will or need to fall in the vast middle America. Indianapolis, Dallas, Kansas City, Omaha are, if anything, underpriced markets.

An Alabama Republican activist and supporter of Roy Moore who attended a tiny Women For Moore rally, told MSNBC that his many accusers were young women who he rejected and are now gold diggers being pushed to come forward by his primary opponent, Luther Strange.
I kid you not.
During the Velshi & Ruhle hour, MSNBC reporter Vaughn Hillyard interviewed Martha Shiver, who says she's known Roy Moore for about ten or twelve years but doesn't believe any of his accusers, and she thinks Moore is being set up.
She did not know Moore when he was allegedly stalking high schools and malls for young teenage girls back in his thirties.
Hillyard said, "I want to ask you. Why are you here this morning for Roy Moore?
Shiver said, "Well, I want to let him know we are 100% behind him. We believe in him and we just don't really believe in all the slander that is going on and we want him to know that we're 100% behind him."
The MSNBC reporter asked if she believed the nine women, who have some very specific information and have come forward so far.
Hillyard asked, "There is talk of that maybe a couple of decades ago, it was more normal for an older man to date older women. Is that the case and do you think if he engaged in these behaviors that it was acceptable?"
Shiver then became conspiratorial and pretty deluded.
She replied, "I think at a young age, she may have pushed the issue and she got probably rejected and now she's saying something that really I don't think happened."
Not only did Moore not ask out a 14 year-old girl and seduce her, but it was the young teens that tried to seduce Moore and now are still angry over his rejections almost forty years later?
That man has got some serious mojo!
Hillyard asked, "Do you think that these women are telling the truth?"
"I think that they're out for money. I think they're being pushed by the other people to say things that are not true," Shiver said.
"Who are these other people?"
"I wouldn't really like to say that on TV."
She continued, "But I think Luther Strange is probably behind a lot of this. I really don't trust him and I just don't trust him."
She didn't really want to say: LUTHER STRANGE!
"You believe Roy Moore?"
"I believe in Roy Moore all the way, 100%."
This interview almost left me speechless. What a web she weaved.
Apparently Luther Strange found these nine women somehow. They were all dying to date Moore as underage teens and are still angry that he refused their advances and Luther promised them boat loads of cash if they would lie about Roy Moore on the record.

Great food can set a restaurant apart from its competition only so much in an industry in which great food isn’t hard to come by. When a restaurant has great food and service, creating an all-around satisfying experience, that’s when a restaurant becomes a favorite. La Lucha became that for me. The food was delicious, but the service is what made a pricier tab worth it. The restaurant reminds me of a home dining room with framed photos lining the wall, Persian carpets and lounge areas that were complete with leather couches, small coffee tables and throw pillows. I’d call it comfortable upper class. Noticeably nicer than your average restaurant, but warm and inviting. I visited La Lucha with a small group without making a reservation, so no table was available. The hostess … [Read more...] about Review: La Lucha blends service with splendid food
Five minutes after a group of men left La Vista 101, locking the doors behind them, a group of three women arrived for lunch Monday. After discovering the restaurant was closed, the women were sorely disappointed. “I loved that place,” one of them said. “That’s such a bummer.” Owner Greg Gordon announced on his personal Facebook page that he has closed the restaurant at 1805 W. 18th St. “Trying to survive for a year I can no longer keep doors open,” he wrote. It’s a sad end for a spot that many were excited about. Gordon told The Leader before his May opening that he spent $1.1 million on the renovation of the former Pizza Hut, including $30,000 in structural changes. The restaurant was called La Vista 101 because Gordon signed a 20-year ground lease for the spot April … [Read more...] about La Vista 101 closes

For centuries, ice cream has been a favorite summer treat. Or, if you’re anything like me, it's a favorite treat any time of the year. Through the years of its existence, and from country to country, different varieties of ice cream have been created for the enjoyment of mankind. With options like hard ice cream, frozen custard, gelato and sorbet, it’s not surprising that Americans are the No. 1 consumers of ice cream in the world. But while we love to love ice cream, do we know the difference between the varieties? The first time I had custard, I had no idea what it was. I just knew it looked like ice cream but tasted a little different. With gelato, the only thing I knew about it is that it was an Italian thing. Hard ice cream is what most people are most familiar … [Read more...] about Appreciating all forms of frozen treats
Mongolian chicken lo mein fro Pho & Grill. Walking into Pho & Grill for lunch, I first noticed the space and how well-maintained it was. Then I noticed that I couldn’t spot any workers. With no one at the front, I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to seat myself or wait to be seated. So I assumed it was the former. A server came out a few seconds after I sat down and brought me a menu. I had made the right decision. The menu offered a variety of appetizers and entrees. I was going to order the steamed dumplings, which were stuffed with chicken and veggies and served with soy sauce, but it turned out the restaurant had run out. Instead I got the spring rolls with grilled chicken. For my main dish, I had a hard time deciding between the vermicelli and lo mein. I ended up … [Read more...] about Review: Pho & Grill’s good, so where is everybody?

Daniel Vizman received his PhD in physics from West University of Timisoara in 1998. He spent one year (1999) as a Humboldt fellow and two years as a Visiting Research Scientist at Fraunhofer Institute IISB, Erlangen, Germany.
His main research interest is in crystallization processes both at laboratory and industrial scale.
The main research results of Prof.dr. Daniel Vizman in the last 20 years were in the field of optimization of crystallization processes by means of numerical modelling and experiments. During the collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute IISB, Erlangen, Germany, Prof. Dr. Daniel Vizman was the leader of the group that developed the STHAMAS3D software for modelling the crystal growth processes. The software has been used by the majority of the leaders in the silicon crystal growth industry in Germany, Korea, Japan and USA. Using this program there were obtained outstanding results in the field of modelling the crystal growth processes:
At West University of Timisoara, Prof.dr. Daniel Vizman has built up a research group in the field of growth and characterization of bulk crystal. One of the very productive directions of the last ten years has been the optimization of directional solidification method for multi-crystalline silicon by numerical modelling and model experiments. A new melt stirring method based on the superposition of a magnetic field and an electrical current was proposed. A model experiment for the new stirring method using a GaInSn-alloy (that is liquid at room temperature) was developed and the numerical predictions were confirmed experimentally. Using the Bridgman growth furnace, small diameter multicrystalline silicon crystals have been successfully obtained and different novel solutions for crucible coating and crystal incapsulation have been proposed. Based on his expertise and results in the optimization of crystal growth processes using the magnetic fields, Prof. Dr. Daniel Vizman, had beed invited to write a book chapter “Flow Control by Magnetic Fields during Crystal Growth from Melt” in the 2015 edition of Handbook of Crystal Growth, edited by Elsevier. For the results obtained in studying the crystal growth processes, the Romanian Academy awarded Prof. Dr. Daniel Vizman, with the Constantin Miculescu award in 2014. Between 2012-2018 Prof. Dr. Daniel Vizman was the secretary of the European Network of Crystal Growth. 8 PhD theses were completed under the prof. Daniel Vizman supervision.

April 2 (Reuters) – Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) on Sunday missed estimates for first-quarter deliveries as a bleak economic outlook and rising competition outweighed the electric automaker’s efforts to prop up demand with price cuts.
Tesla delivered 422,875 vehicles, a record high for the automaker but smaller than analyst expectations for 430,008 vehicles, according to Refinitiv data.
Investors have been watching Chief Executive Elon Musk’s gamble that cutting prices would stimulate sales, making up for the profit hit from eroding margins.
Tesla deliveries grew 4% from the previous quarter and were 36% higher than a year ago.
“Sequential growth continues even in the first quarter,” Martin Viecha, Tesla’s head of investor relations said in a tweet.
The carmaker produced more cars than it delivered, manufacturing 440,808 vehicles for the first three months of this year.
Tesla delivered 6% more of its mainstay Model 3/Model Y vehicles than the previous quarter. But the number of deliveries for its higher-priced Model X/Model S vehicles slumped by 38%.
In January, Tesla slashed prices globally by as much as 20%, unleashing a price war after missing Wall Street delivery estimates for 2022.
Musk warned the prospect of recession and higher interest rates meant the carmaker could lower prices to sustain growth at the expense of profit. In January, Musk said the price cuts had stoked demand.
Shares have soared more than 68% this year on hopes that Tesla would win the price war it started, although the stock remains more than 50% below its November 2021 peak.

A Methodology for Aeroelastic Constraint Analysis in a Conceptual Design Environment
De Baets, Peter Wilfried Gaston
MetadataShow full item record
The research examines how the Bi-Level Integrated System Synthesis decomposition technique can be adapted to perform as the conceptual aeroelastic design tool. The study describes a comprehensive solution of the aeroelastic coupled problem cast in this decomposition format and implementation in an integrated framework. The method is supported by application details of a proof-of-concept high speed vehicle. Physics-based codes such as finite element and an aerodynamic panel method are used to model the high-definition geometric characteristics of the vehicle. A synthesis and sizing code was added to referee the conflicts that arise between the two disciplines. This research's novelty lies in four points. First is the use of physics-based tools at the conceptual design phase to calculate the aeroelastic properties. Second is the projection of flutter and divergence velocity constraint lines in a power loading versus wing loading graph. The mapping of such constraints in a designer's familiar format is a valuable tool for fast examination of the design space. Third is the improvement of the aeroelastic assessment given the time allotted. Until recently, because of extensive computational and time requirements, aeroelasticity was only assessed at the preliminary design phase. This research illustrates a scheme whereby, for the first time, aeroelasticity can be assessed at the early design formulation stages. Forth, this assessment allowed to verify the impact of changing velocity, altitude, and angle of attack and identify robust design space with these three mission properties. The method's application to the quiet supersonic business jet gave a delta shaped wing for the supersonic speed regime. A subsonic case resulted in a high aspect ratio wing. The scaling approach allowed iso-flutter and iso-divergence lines to be plotted. The main effects of velocity, altitude, and angle of attack on these iso-lines were also discussed, as was the identification of robust design space. The response surface surrogate models allowed convergence of the system optimization but questions were posed as to the accuracy of these quadratic models. Other future improvements include the addition of more disciplines and more detailed models.

This week’s topic:
Books I Loved So Much I Had to Get a Copy for My Personal Library
A great topic because I have a few such books. I’ll borrow them from the library, get a few pages in and realize that I love the story or the writing too much to continue with the library copy because I want to highlight all the lines and passages I love. So I end up purchasing my own copy. These are the books that happened with.
Velvet, Vol 1: Before the Living End by Ed Brubaker, illus. by Steve Epting
This was such an entertaining read. I got the first issue for free and knew I had to get all the full volumes. It’s a historical thriller set in the 1970s about a female spy who’s framed for a murder.
The Arrival by Shaun Tan (illus.)
I’m so happy to own a copy of this book. It’s a silent fantasy graphic novel about a man seeking a safe place for his family to live. The story is told using pictures, no words.
Thunder & Lightning: Weather Past, Present, Future by Lauren Redniss (illus.)
Such a great read that I learned loads from. It’s an illustrated nonfiction book about the weather, how what we do affect it and how it affects us. I believe it’s intended for teens and up.
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
I completed this one in a day and knew I’d have to get all Allen’s books. It’s a fabulist novel about the Waverley sisters, who are estranged, and their garden in which grows an apple tree that bears fruit that foretells the future when eaten.
Kintu by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi
This is such a great book that I wish more people would read and talk about. It’s a historical-fiction novel with touches of magical realism that takes place in Uganda from 1750 to 2004, following the descendants of Kintu Kidda, who “unleashes a curse [in 1750] that will plague his family for generations.”
Middle Passage by Charles Johnson
One of the oddest books I’ve read and entertaining despite the subject matter. It’s a historical high-seas adventure with a touch of magical realism set in 1830 about a former slave who stows away on a ship to avoid marrying someone, not knowing that it’s a slave ship bound for Africa to pick up the mysterious Allmuseri people.
The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold
I love this book and am enjoying the series a lot, which I haven’t yet completed. It’s the first in a fantasy series and is about a man returning home, after years away at war and having been enslaved, seeking a quiet place to retire but instead becomes secretary to a princess and caught up in various political machinations.
The Book of Hidden Things by Francesco Dimitri (transl.)
I love the prose in this book and the story was very interesting. Set in southern Italy, it’s a fantasy novel about a group of friends who signed a pact among themselves saying they’ll always meet up in their home town once a year, but this time one of the friends doesn’t show up. The others go looking for him and realize he’s involved in some weird stuff.
The Diviners series by Libba Bray
This hasn’t really happened yet because I only have a copy of the last book, which I’m currently reading, but I intend to collect them all. The books are great. They are YA historical paranormal/horror series set in the late 1920s New York City about a girl who can see into the pasts of people whose personal objects she touches.
In the Garden of Spite by Camilla Bruce
I haven’t yet bought a copy for myself, but I will. Instead, I keep buying copies for others because it’s so good. It’s a historical thriller set in the Midwest in the late 1800s about a female serial killer and is based on the life of a real person.

One of the best experiences of my life; not given a chance to be trained enough in my work; coworkers, supervisors and managers don't bother to care
Cashier (Former Employee) – Toronto, Ontario – 5 November 2018
Working at RONA was one of the worst experiences of my life, I wish I had never ever applied there. At first, people (coworkers and managers) seemed nice, friendly, supportive and willing to train me. Boy, was I ever wrong. They didn't train me enough or properly for my particular work to help customers, which resulted in customers blaming me constantly for not helping them on purpose. My supervisors and managers made me feel like I was not good enough for anything, they never gave me good feedback, they never encouraged me or gave me a chance to evolve. There was a lot of favoritism and managers never bothered to care or listen to me. They just couldn't care less about my career advancements. Other workers were given the chance to be trained further, whereas I was left behind. I am still dealing with the horrible ordeal. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work at RONA.
Favoritism, not given a chance to be trained properly in my work


Rolls-Royce gas announced the official opening of Testbed 80 in Derby, UK. Designed in collaboration with the MDS Aero Support Corporation of Ottawa, Canada, this impressive facility is the result of almost 3 years of construction work.
Rolls-Royce has invested £90 million ($128 million) in this one-of-a-kind testbed. With an internal surface of 7,500 m2 (80,730 ft2), it’s the biggest facility of this type in the world. And, according to the brand, it’s also the smartest, where some of the most innovative testing technologies and systems will be put to work. The main project, for now, is developing the next stage of the UltraFan engine, with the testing of the first demonstrator set for 2022.
But there are many more things to come for the Testbed 80. Its main role is to provide the perfect space for testing and optimizing Rolls-Royce’s current engines, including the Trent XWB and the Trent 1000, while also paving the way for the UltraFan demonstrator, which is designed to be 25% more efficient than the first Trent. On the other hand, hybrid and all-electric flight systems will also be tested in this new facility.
In line with the company’s environmental commitment, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) are also an important element for the testbed’s future development. In fact, Testbed 80 has a 140,000-liter (37,000 gallons) fuel tank, for various types of fuel, including SAF, and the UltraFan demonstrator will run on SAF as well, during next year’s test.
