Featured Prospect - Akil Thomas
Akil Thomas is on a tear.
The 19-year-old forward, who the Kings selected in the second-round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, is riding not only a six-game point streak but a six-game multi-point streak. Thomas has collected two or more points in each of his last six games, dating back to November 10.
The six-foot centerman has tallied a three-point game and a four-point game in that stretch, with 15 points (4-11-15) in total, along with a +9 rating, over the six games.
Thomas' Niagara IceDogs have gone 4-1-1 over the six-game stretch, vaulting them into third in their division after winning just 5 of their first 19 games played.
Thomas is currently tied for fifth in the Ontario Hockey League with 27 assists and is tied for sixth with 38 points. The IceDogs captain also ranks tied for second leaguewide with 12 power-play assists and leads Niagara in all three categories.
Forward Arthur Kaliyev's scoring prowess continues to light up the OHL. The 18-year-old winger is currently on a 13-game scoring streak, which has now spanned three prospect reports.
At over a goal-per-game pace, and nearly a two-points-per-game pace, Kaliyev leads all OHL players in goals (27) this season and is tied for the league lead in points (51). The 6-2 winger has collected multiple points in three of his last four games, with five goals in total over that stretch.
Overall during the 2019-20 campaign, Kaliyev has a point in 24 of his 26 games played and has 26 points (13-13-26) on his current 13-game scoring streak. His 13-game streak is tied for the fifth longest streak in the league this season, and he is the only player with at least two separate streaks of nine-or-more games this year.
Ontario Reign defenseman Sean Durzi hit a pair of milestones over the past two weeks.
On November 15 against San Diego, Durzi scored his first career professional goal, a third-period tally at home against the San Diego Gulls.
Eight days later, Durzi collected both the first assist of his professional career, and his first multi-point game, in a two-point effort (0-2-2) against the Tucson Roadrunners.
Durzi, acquired by the Kings from the Toronto Maple Leafs organization in January, has collected three points (1-2-3) from ten games played with the Reign this season. After he suffered an upper-body injury on Opening Night, Durzi returned to the Ontario blueline earlier this month.
Forward Samuel Fagemo posted a pair of multi-point games recently, one in the SHL and one in the Champions Hockey League. Fagemo tallied a goal and an assist in his most recent league game, his third multi-point game of the SHL season, in a 4-1 win over Linkopings HC on November 23.
Fagemo also collected two assists as Frolunda advanced into the quarterfinals of the Champions Hockey League earlier this month. With his team trailing 6-3 on aggregate from a loss in Game 1 against Farjestad BK, Fagemo assisted on two of Frolunda's two goals in an 8-2 rout in Game 2, helping his team advance to the last eight of the tournament.
Overall, Fagemo has tallied nine points (5-4-9) from 16 games played in the SHL and ten points (7-3-10) from six games played in the Champions Hockey League. Fagemo is tied for second amongst "junior" players in the SHL in points on the season.
Defenseman Cole Hults continues to have a strong collegiate season with Penn State, as he recorded his fourth multi-point game of the season (0-2-2) on Friday versus Ohio State. Hults has collected seven points (0-7-7) in eight games thus far this season in Big 10 Conference play. Hults' seven helpers rank second on the Nittany Lions in conference play.
Overall, Hults leads all Penn State defensemen in goals (4), assists (8), points (12) and plus/minus rating (+9) on the season.
Hults also has Penn State's lone shorthanded goal this season, which came in October versus Sacred Heart. The Nittany Lions are ranked seventh in both the USCHO and USA Today NCAA Division 1 hockey polls, as of November 24.
Goaltender Matthew Villalta made his first career AHL start on Saturday evening in Tucson.
The 20-year-old goaltender made 35 saves on 38 shots in a narrow 3-2 defeat against the Pacific Division leading Roadrunners. Villalta's Head Coach, Mike Stothers, called the young netminder's performance "outstanding", noting that Villalta deserved at least a point from what amounted to a regulation loss.
Prior to making the start with Ontario, Villalta skated in eight games with the ECHL's Fort Wayne Komets and posted a 4-3-1 record. Vilallta previously made his AHL debut in early-October against Tucson at home, as he played 20 minutes in relief of starting netminder Cal Petersen.
Goaltender Lukas Parik won both games he started last weekend (versus Saskatoon and Winnipeg), as he made 62 saves on 66 shots against in the pair of victories. The 18-year-old netminder, a third-round selection by the Kings in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, has now won five consecutive decisions, dating back to November 9.
Across the WHL, Parik is tied for the league lead in wins amongst rookie goaltenders, while ranking fourth amongst first-year netminders in both goals against average (2.44) and save percentage (.916).
Parik also ranks tenth in the WHL overall in both goals against average and save percentage, amongst all qualified goaltenders.

Jakarta. Visiting UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will hold talks with President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi on a range of issues including the coup in Myanmar, the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change on Wednesday.
Raab also will announce the planned deployment of the Royal Navy’s Carrier Strike Task Group to the region amid escalating tension in the South China Sea triggered by China’s territorial claims.
“The Carrier Strike Group’s deployment marks the start of a new era of defense cooperation. And the UK is investing in long term partnerships as a force for good in the region,” Raab said in a statement.
The Carrier Strike Group will be led by the HMS Queen Elizabeth in its maiden visit to the region.
According to the UK Embassy in Jakarta, the Carrier Strike Group will provide “tangible reassurance and security to our friends and allies, and a credible deterrence to those who seek to undermine global security”.
During his Jakarta visit, Raab will also meet Health Minister Budi Sadikin to discuss the importance of international collaboration in pandemic preparedness.
Bilateral health cooperation includes telemedicine, research through the UK’s Newton Fund, and genome sequencing through the UK’s Fleming Fund.
“His visit strengthens the already great friendship between the UK and Indonesia. It is early proof of the UK’s stated desire to focus more on the Indo Pacific region – and on our relationships with countries like Indonesia,” Owen Jenkins , the UK Ambassador to Indonesia, said.
On Thursday, Raab will continue his Southeast Asia trip to Commonwealth nation and current ASEAN chair, Brunei-Darussalam, for high level meetings to discuss trade, climate, and security issues.


While the tip of the spear – the tanks – is pushing ahead, the rest of a Panzer-Division is following. Medical and supply trucks are almost bumper to bumper, while a couple of PaK 36 anti-tank guns are on the side of the road, an Sd.Kfz 10 halftrack next to them ready to tow one of the guns. To the right is a Kfz. 12 all terrain car, hastily camouflaged with branches, and in the background can be seen a Pz.Kpfw III. Those are just three of the circa 2,300 tanks, armored vehicles, cars and trucks in a Panzer division (motor cycles not counted). The photo is probably from the summer of 1941, when the German Army was pushing forward along the Eastern Front. Battle losses and mechanical breakdowns reduced the number of available vehicles, but it was still a force to be reckoned with due to its mobility. That changed when the autumn rains began, and the dirt roads turned into endless stretches of deep mud…
A machine gun crew of three soldiers taking it easy in the sun. Their weapon is an MG 13, a light machine gun that was adopted in 1930 and the standard LMG of the Reichswehr until 1935, when the MG 34 superseded it. It was based on the MG 18, and the designation “MG 13” was chosen as to make it appear to be an older design in the eyes of the Versailles Treaty Control Commission. When the MG 34 became the standard MG, the MG 13s were sold off to Spain and Portugal, and those that didn’t find buyers were put in storage. When the war began, second line units were equipped with it, and it saw use until the end of the war. It was also used in some aircraft and the PzKpfw I tank.
It weighed 10.9 kilos in the bipod configuration, and used 25-round box magazines, or 75-round saddle magazines. The small magazine capacity and the rate of fire of 500-600 rounds a minute meant that a magazine was emptied in 2.5 – 3 seconds. The magazines made it easy to use, though, and there were other comparable MGs that had similar magazine capacity, like the British Bren gun (30 rounds). In the photo, it’s seen with the long flash suppressor, but it was common to see the MG without it.
In the clip below, you can see how to fire it properly in short, controlled bursts. Still, it wasn’t able to supply the volume of fire that the MG 34 and later MG 42 could, which was the reason why it was replaced as a front line weapon.
A 10,5 cm schwere Kanone 18 has suffered an internal explosion, completely destroying the field gun. “But isn’t a gun supposed to be able to take an explosion? After all, the charge firing the grenade is pretty strong”, people might object. Yes, but there can be several reasons for a barrel getting destroyed like that. One is intentional destruction, “spiking the gun” in order to deny it to the enemy in case you have to abandon your position, but haven’t got the time or means to take the gun with you. There were even special charges for that (Sprengpatrone Z), made for different calibers. Another reason could be a worn barrel, but there were shot counters that were used to keep track on how many rounds had been fired so the barrel could be replaced in time. Still, a production flaw, like a miniscule crack or small impurity, could lead to a catastrophic failure. A third reason could be the grenade going off or getting stuck right after the charge has been ignited. While the gun breech can take the force of a blast, the barrel itself isn’t thick enough to withstand the force of an explosion. It could be really messy for the gun crew; if they were lucky, they got away with just the shock, but the blast and shrapnel could just as well maim or kill them. There’s no hint of the fate of the crew manning the gun in the photo. For their sake, I hope they survived to tell the tale in their letters home.
A narrow dirt road, a soft road shoulder, a 10,5-cm leichte Feldhaubitze 18 weighing some two tons ends up in the ditch. No way the 17 soldiers will get the howitzer back on its wheels and hitched to the limber again. They’ll have to wait for a half-tracked tractor to pull it right. The body language of the artillerymen tells that they realise that there isn’t much they can do. Or is it? We will never know how they got the gun back on the road. One or two of the men in the photo might still be alive. They’ve seen things ordinary people wouldn’t believe. Tanks on fire in the fields near Kursk. They’ve watched tracers glitter in the dark in the Korsun Pocket. All those moments will be lost in time, like snow in the spring. Too few are still alive.
A serene scene, a column of 9.7 ton Sd.Kfz. 7 artillery tractors towing 15-cm schwere Feldhaubitze sFH 18 howitzers through a fir forest, the boughs laden with snow. One can almost hear the idling engines, muffled by the trees. But there’s a hidden danger… The sign warns of Glatteis – black ice – which the tracked vehicles don’t have any greater problem negotiating, but which the towed guns might have. Without snow chains, the hard rubber tires might skid if there’s a sharp turn, and 5.3 tons of hardware could end up in a ditch… What would that look like? See tomorrow’s post.
Two second lieutenants practicing with a Maschinengewehr 34 light machine gun, the two junior officers having the dubious pleasure of lying down in the snow. The weapon isn’t loaded yet; the loader rests his arms on two ammo drum carriers, each holding a pair of drums with a 75-round belt each. The drums were used while assaulting, whereas an ammo can with 250 belted rounds was used for more sustained fire. The loader holds a pair of Zeiss 6×30 binoculars for observation of the target.
The development of the MG 34 began in 1930, as there was a need for a machine gun that was lighter than e.g. the MG 08/15. While named “MG 34”, the weapon wasn’t adopted by the Wehrmacht until January 1939. It was a multi-purpose MG, which could be used with the integral bipod in the light mode, or with a sturdy tripod in the heavy mode. There was also a tripod for anti-aircraft use, and it was the standard machine gun for the majority of the armored vehicles
The MG 34 weighed 12.1 kg with its bipod, with a fire rate of 900 rounds per minute, using the standard 7.92 x 57 mm rifle round. The practical rate of fire was 300-400 rounds per minute, as the barrel would get too hot otherwise. The barrel could be changed in seconds, though. The effective range of the weapon was 2,000 m, but in theory it could be used for indirect fire at up to 3,500 meters. Germany entered the war in 1939 with 84,078 MG 34, and it remained the principal MG until 1943.
The problem with the MG 34 was that it was too well made. In the harsh winters on the Eastern Front, the finely machined parts were susceptible to jamming if the temperature got too low. Dirt and mud were other causes of jamming. The production of the weapon used a lot of raw materials (49 kg), and it took 150 hours to make. The Army saw the need for an MG that was cheaper and easier to produce (using stamped metal parts), and with tolerances that allowed for greater reliability in battlefield conditions. The answer was the iconic MG 42, which used 27.5 kilos of raw materials and took 75 hours to produce. This increased the output from 3,000 MGs per month in the fall of 1941 to 24,000 MGs in early 1944.
The MG 42 is still used in many armies of the world, only marginally updated, while the MG 34 is found in museums. Well, perhaps not just museums… Next time you watch a Star Wars movie, you can see that the DLT-19 heavy blaster rifles used by the Imperial stormtroopers are modified MG 34s.
The crew of a 10,5-cm leichte Feldhaubitze 18 (10.5 cm light field howitzer), Eastern Front, probably late winter, 1942. As I wrote in a previous post, the gun was primarily a howitzer, but it was also used as a stop-gap solution to the lack of anti-tank guns powerful enough to take on Soviet armor. The 7.5 cm PaK 40 AT gun was introduced later in 1942, and until then, the leFH 18 filled the role as best as it could.
On this day in 1941, the temperature on the Moscow front fell to −37° C (−31° F), further inhibiting the German advance. Weapons and vehicles didn’t work, supplies couldn’t be brought forward, and soldiers froze to death in their summer uniforms. In their arrogance, the planners of Operation Barbarossa thought that the campaign would be over before the advent of winter. They had underestimated the number of Red Army divisions, were unaware of the new, superior Soviet tanks, and calculated that the supply situation would be solved through living off the land. The latter meant that there were no food set aside for prisoners of war, and that soldiers had to plunder food from Soviet peasants, resulting in the starvation and death of hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens. When the gamble didn’t pay off, the Germans were stuck with a war they couldn’t win.

From science to society to practice? Public reactions to the insect crisis in Germany
1. The insect crisis, as conservation topic, has historically received little attention among the general public. Yet, the publication “More than 75% decline over 27 years in total flying insect biomass in protected areas” by Hallmann et al. gained vast media coverage in Germany in October 2017. Given the media's known influence on public perception, we investigated (i) whether coverage of this publication increased awareness among the German public for insect die‐off, and (ii) whether it contributed to people's intentions to undertake insect protecting actions. 2. We used Google Trends to examine people's internet activity in Germany in relation to keywords relevant to our research question. 3. A high peak in Google searches for insect die‐off (“Insektensterben”) was indeed visible immediately after the study publication, and search volume remained significantly higher for the following 6 months, confirming that the topic gained attention. 4. Further, searches for the three keywords insect hotel, bee‐friendly and bee meadow (“Insektenhotel”, “bienenfreundlich”, “Bienenweide”) increased significantly over the summers of the years 2017 to 2019. It appears that increased media attention around insect die‐off spurned by the publication of Hallmann et al not only addressed the crisis but also encouraged implementation of simple insect protection measures by the public. 5. These findings suggest that cooperation between the media, conservation organizations and scientists to disseminate evidence‐based information alongside practical conservation measures may have lasting benefits.

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.

When Dr. Nelson Lester, a retired Veterinarian from Lindsay Ontario Canada, wrote his first book entitled “MY FIRST NINETY YEARS” he suspected that it might only contain a portion of the memories that would come after 50 years of Veterinary practice and over 90 years of living in the same community.
So, with the thought process brewing and with the encouragement of family and friends, he once again sat down and put pen to paper and started to write again because, as the title suggests, he did indeed have “More To Remember”.
Those who have already had the opportunity to see this second book say that it is not a continuation of the first one, but rather an expansion on the memories, stories and experiences of ninety years. Some of the stories are new… some of the stories are expanded upon with more detail and more elements… and some of the stories are ones that he simply didn’t recall the first time around. The new 238 page book also features an additional twenty five never-before-seen pictures from his personal collection.
Whether or not you have already enjoyed his first book this new one will be a great addition to your collection because he definitely has “More To Remember”.

How to reuse disposable materials in the decoration and organization of your home?
I love the idea of turning disposable materials that would go to waste into functional objects for the home. I spend hours browsing the endless references on pinterest and have a folder full of these recycling ideas. And let’s agree, right: it’s less rubbish on the street! Nature thanks 🙂 So, today I want to share with you 3 recyclable materials and amazing ideas and they are super easy to put into practice with each one of them.
1 – Aluminum cans
Aluminum cans are, for me, one of the easiest materials to recycle to be part of your home decor.
Idea 1: Lanterns
Cute flashlights are not always easy to find and when we find them, they usually have a very salty price. And with a can of tomato paste or milk and paint in your favorite color, you can reproduce this idea at home. To make the design in the can, just use a nail and a hammer and make the holes.
Idea 2: Kitchen cutlery holder
Are you going to receive someone at your house or even in your day-to-day you don’t have where to put the cutlery? So, plug in this super-easy idea: you’ll just need several cans of the same size, paint, a small piece of wood (which you can replace with cardboard) and some scraps of leather to finish and label the cans.
Idea 3: Grocery Holder
Look how amazing this idea. In addition to being super functional, these cans also end up being part of your kitchen decor.
2- Glass Jars
The glass pot is another versatile material that can be reused in different ways to decorate your house. Let’s get to ideas?
Idea 1: Stuff holder
To replicate this idea, you’ll need a permanent pen, tape, and a word you like in print. And so, you transform that dull little bottle into a bag full of bossa.
Idea 2: Aromatic Candles
Candles add warmth to any home. So, how about using that little glass pot for your own candles and spreading it around the house or maybe even giving it to someone. To make your candles scented, just mix an essence of the scent of your choice into the wax .
Idea 3: Cotton / Cotton Swab / Tissue Holder
Look at the most beautiful thing in the little bottles with the colored lids for you to store personal hygiene items. I keep imagining this in a baby room, on top of your dressing table or even on the bathroom counter. It would be beautiful right? The good thing is that these glass jars seal well, preventing air moisture from passing into the products being stored.
3 – Cardboard Boxes
Whether it’s a shoe box, the boxes that arrive with purchases that we ask for online… I’m sure you have at least one (or several of them) at your house and now, in the cleaning at the end of the year, instead of throwing them away, you can give a new use. Let’s go look and start making one of these amazing ideas?!
Idea 1: Organizing Boxes
You know those items that live scattered around and no matter how much you tidy up in one week the next week, they’re all messed up again? How about taking those cardboard boxes and turning them into organizing boxes? You can decorate with string and hot glue, with contact paper, wrapping paper or even fabric and glue.
Idea 2: Jewellery Box
Look how brilliant this idea of turning the shoe box lid into a jewellery box.
Idea 3: Organizer basket
Still on the same idea of organizing and establishing places for things, instead of leaving them scattered. You can reuse the cardboard box and make baskets, to put towels neatly folded in the bathroom or the toilet paper rolls. It looks very nice and organized.


The secret is out. The three remaining covers on the Godsmack “Live and Inspired” c.d. have been revealed. The band will add covers from the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Metallica to their repertoire along with the previously released Joe Walsh and Zeppelin covers. More after the jump.

In 1978, the Saudi monarchy decided to expand the exportation of fundamentalist Wahhabi Islam across the world through the establishment of the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO). About 10 years later, IIRO’s Philippine branch was established by Osama Bin Laden’s brother-in-law, which subsequently funded Philippine terrorists. By the 2000s, IIRO’s branch in Indonesia began funding Al Qaeda training camps.
The Bush administration designated IIRO-Philippines and IIRO-Indonesia as terrorist entities in 2006. IIRO’s U.S. offices were closed at the time, although IIRO appeared to reopen an office in Florida 2010. IIRO is the fourth best-funded Islamic foundation in the world according to a 2011 study.
The man who selected the leadership of IIRO and approved its spending from its inception is the new king of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdulaziz:
From the Washington Free Beacon:
…[T]hroughout his public career in government, Salman has embraced radical Muslim clerics and has been…

There is a new marshal in town and Monroe City residents can expect to see a number of changes in the operation of the city police department when newly-elected city marshal Tyler Wheeler takes the oath of office on Thursday, April 20.
However, most of those changes will be implemented gradually and many will be inter-departmental and not visible to the public.
Wheeler was the winner of the three-way race for a one-year unexpired term as city marshal of Monroe City in the April 4 Municipal Election. The city marshal serves as the chief of the Monroe City Police Department. With 219 votes, Wheeler overcame challengers Linda Greening and acting police chief John Albright. Greening garnered 134 votes and Albright got 164 votes.
Wheeler anticipates one of the first changes will be to open the front door of the police station to the public and have an officer on duty during the day to take care of citizen needs.
"I want to have a proactive police department, not a reactive one," Wheeler said.
To accomplish this goal, Wheeler plans to have city police officers out in the community, talking with and getting to know the residents and their needs as much as possible. He also plans for the police department to be involved and participate in community events such as sponsoring a Bike Rodeo for youngsters.
"I got a lot of suggestions during my campaigning as I went door to door. These are some of the top priorities the citizens would like to see," Wheeler said.
One of the top in-house projects will be to update the departments’ policies and procedures. Wheeler emphasized that this project is an ongoing one and does not reflect a lack of effort on the current city marshal.
Another step in making changes will be to visit one-on-one with each of the department’s seven officers to learn what they feel is working or not working in the department and go from there.
Wheeler said he is not planning on any staff changes at this point.
Currently a Marion County detective with the Northeast Missouri Task Force, Wheeler began his career on the Monroe City police force under then-chief Mondell Sharpe in 1998. Wheeler has kept his ties with Monroe City and is currently a member of the Monroe City Council.
In expressing excitement about his win, Wheeler also conveyed his deep appreciation for all his support.
Incumbent John Albright said he was of course disappointed at his loss but was not bitter. "That’s what happens in a three-way race," he said.
Albright said his plans for the future are presently indefinite but he has no plans to move from the community right away.
"I will look at all my options, weigh them and then do what I think is best for me and my family," he said.
Albright said he appreciated the opportunity to serve the community as well as the support he received from the residents of Monroe City.
Monroe City Mayor Neal Minor appointed Albright to the position of city marshal when the post became vacant following the resignation of Darren Freidank.
Greening, who is presently serving as a Monroe City police officer, said she has no plans to leave the department at this time. She also expressed her appreciation to all of those who supported her with their votes and words of encouragement.

Struggling to cope with record numbers of asylum seekers, Germany told its European partners on Monday they must also take in more refugees, as Hungarian police used pepper spray on desperate migrants who broke out of a reception center at the border.
Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking after a weekend in which 20,000 migrants entered Germany from Hungary by train, bus and on foot, described the influx as "breathtaking" and tried to reassure German citizens that the crisis was manageable.
"I am happy that Germany has become a country that many people outside of Germany now associate with hope," she said at a news conference in Berlin.
But she and her vice chancellor, Sigmar Gabriel, coupled their message of optimism with a warning to European Union partners who have resisted a push from Berlin, Paris and Brussels to agree quotas for refugees flowing in mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
"What isn't acceptable in my view is that some people are saying this has nothing to do with them," Merkel said. "This won't work in the long run. There will be consequences although we don't want that."

Title: No Deal
Author: Christy Poff
Rating: Three And A Half Siren Stones
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Page Count: 305
ISBN E-Book: 978-1-60313-675-4
Publisher: Whiskey Creek Press Torrid
Alicia lived with a man who used her to further his legitimate financial climb in the corporate world. Every day she hated him more. Blake spent a cool million to get to know her for one evening. Will their love grow into a win/win result? Or will it be no deal?
Though this is stated as a romantic suspense, No Deal is not the traditional romance book type. The heroine starts out married, though in a loveless, abusive relationship. When Blake, the hero of the story places a bid on Alicia in an auction for a night, that's when things begin.
Her husband is a deceitful, hateful man who means to only get what he wants from his wife and that's her money. Blake and Alicia are now in a dangerous game against her husband.
I found this to be a very fast paced all around good read. There's plenty of action and suspense and hardly was there a scene that slowed the book down. There were a few formatting and editing issues, but they did not take away from the story too much.
I am interested in other tales by Christy Poff.

Heart: If inflammation affects the heart, it can result in myocarditis and endocarditis. It can also affect the membrane that surrounds the heart, causing pericarditis. Chest pain or other symptoms may result. Endocarditis can damage the heart valves, causing the valve surface to thicken and develop. This can result in growths that can lead to heart murmurs.
Make sure that you are drinking sufficient liquid, which may include water, coffee, tea, rooibos, fruit juice, cold drinks and moderate quantities of beer or wine. You need three litres or 10 x 300 ml cups of liquid a day in total. This does NOT mean that you should drink all your regular beverages and then add another extra three litres of water. Remember 10 cups/glasses of LIQUID a day are sufficient.
The panel recommends HCQ plus LMWH plus LDA over HCQ plus LDA or adding GCs or intravenous Ig for pregnant patients with SLE with antiphospholipid antibodies and recurrent pregnancy loss (strong recommendation based on moderate certainty of the evidence (LMWH plus LDA vs other alternatives) and very low certainty of the evidence (GCs and intravenous Ig vs other alternatives), since high certainty of harms related to GCs (increased premature delivery) and intravenous Ig (costs increase, burden related to drug administration) exists).
Today, physicians treat lupus using a wide variety of medicines, ranging in strength from mild to extremely strong. Prescribed medications will usually change during a person’s lifetime with lupus. However, it can take months—sometimes years—before your health care team finds just the right combination of medicines to keep your lupus symptoms under control.
A nonspecific laboratory test used as a marker of inflammation. In this test, the speed at which erythrocytes settle out of unclotted blood is measured. Blood to which an anticoagulant has been added is placed in a long, narrow tube, and the distance the red cells fall in 1 hr is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Normally it is less than 10 mm/hr in men and slightly higher in women. The speed at which the cells settle depends on how many red blood cells clump together. Clumping is increased by the presence of acute-phase proteins released during inflammation.
Lupus takes a long time to diagnose and all the emotional elements of dealing with other peoples misunderstanding adds to the negative feelings. There is really no way to avoid this, just know that you’re not alone in this. My wife has been dealing with Lupus for 30 years and yes there have been difficult times and doctors without understanding or empathy.
A general, imprecise, colloquial, and somewhat old-fashioned term for acute and chronic conditions marked by inflammation, muscle soreness and stiffness, and pain in joints and associated structures. It includes inflammatory arthritis (infectious, rheumatoid, gouty), arthritis due to rheumatic fever or trauma, degenerative joint disease, neurogenic arthropathy, hydroarthrosis, myositis, bursitis, and fibromyalgia.
Painless passage of blood or protein in the urine may often be the only presenting sign of kidney involvement. Acute or chronic renal impairment may develop with lupus nephritis, leading to acute or end-stage kidney failure. Because of early recognition and management of SLE, end-stage renal failure occurs in less than 5% of cases; except in the black population, where the risk is many times higher.
Acute cutaneous LE typically presents in the third decade of life and is frequently associated with active SLE. There are localized and generalized forms of ACLE. The localized form is the frequently described malar, or “butterfly” rash, which refers to erythema that occurs over both cheeks, extends over the nasal bridge, and spares the nasolabial folds. These lesions are classically transient, sun-induced, and non-scarring, although dyspigmentation can occur. Patients may initially mistake this rash for a sunburn, and only seek medical attention when it persists for several days. A fine surface scale and/or edema may be associated with the erythema. Malar rashes have been reported to be present in up to 52% of SLE patients at the time of diagnosis, with clinical activity of the rash paralleling that of the systemic disease. This rash can be confused with acne rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis, however the former is associated with the formation of papules and pustules, and the latter occurs within the nasolabial folds.
Immunoglobulins are formed by light and heavy (depending on molecular weight) chains of polypeptides made up of about 100 amino acids. These chains determine the structure of antigen-binding sites and, therefore, the specificity of the antibody to one antigen. The five types of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM) account for approximately 30% of all plasma proteins. Antibodies are one of the three classes of globulins (plasma proteins) in the blood that contribute to maintaining colloidal oncotic pressure.
The ACR Quality of Care statement  recommends annual cardiovascular disease risk assessment; some researchers suggest that the cardiovascular risk for SLE is similar to that for diabetes mellitus. The 10-year coronary event rate is 13-15% in patients with active SLE, which is comparable to the 10-year event rate of 18.8% in patients with known coronary artery disease.  African American patients with SLE may be particularly vulnerable to premature cardiovascular disease and related death.
The occasional glass of red wine or beer isn’t restricted. However, alcohol can interact with some of the medicines you take to control your condition. Drinking while taking NSAID drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Naprosyn), for example, could increase your risk of stomach bleeding or ulcers. Alcohol can also reduce the effectiveness of warfarin (Coumadin) and may increase the potential liver side-effects of methotrexate.
SLE is regarded as a prototype disease due to the significant overlap in its symptoms with other autoimmune diseases. This means that it is an important area of continued research and study that is utilizing diverse techniques such as GWAS, microarrays, and murine studies. Further genetic studies of multiple ethnic groups and the creation of disease models incorporating environmental influences will help to increase and refine the understanding of specific genes, linkages, as well as the mechanisms underlying the disease.
Lupus can bring all sorts of physical and emotional challenges, especially if you're newly diagnosed. Learning to cope with your disease takes time and practice, and includes things like educating yourself and your loved ones about your disease, taking care of yourself by getting enough rest and eating well, learning how to manage your flares, and getting support.
Contraception and family planning are important considerations given the risks of disease flare with exogenous estrogens and pregnancy and with the teratogenic risks of some SLE drugs. Estrogen therapies have typically been avoided to prevent disease flares; progesterone-only contraception is more often considered.  However, studies have suggested that oral estrogen-containing contraceptives may not be associated with disease flares or thrombosis risk in patients with mild lupus without antiphospholipid antibodies. [52, 145]
Although no one symptom qualifies someone as having lupus, certain clinical techniques can be used to narrow down the diagnosis. For example, a test for antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) in the blood is probably the first tool a physician will use. A positive ANA test does not necessarily mean that someone has lupus; in fact, one out of five normal women has a positive ANA. However, a negative ANA test greatly reduces the suspicion.

Before drinking alcohol, first double-check with your doctor to make sure that it is not forbidden with your medicines. Prednisone, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, antidepressants, opioids, warfarin and methotrexate can potentially have more side effects if taken with alcohol. If you do drink alcohol it is very important to drink only in moderation.
Other tests for lupus depend on the symptoms patients are experiencing, says Kaplan. For example, chest X-rays and echocardiograms may be necessary to investigate fluid around the lungs and the heart. If doctors suspect nephritis is present, the patient may need a kidney biopsy. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to avoid complications, he adds.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate. This blood test determines the rate at which red blood cells settle to the bottom of a tube in an hour. A faster than normal rate may indicate a systemic disease, such as lupus. The sedimentation rate isn't specific for any one disease. It may be elevated if you have lupus, an infection, another inflammatory condition or cancer.

The start of the CBD in Hockingport motion
Prior to she was five years old, Charlotte Figi stopped chuckling. While the ordinary child giggles around 300 times a day, Charlotte temporarily lost her capability to connect due to an uncommon and also severe type of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome.
Dravet disorder influences about 1 in 30,000 infants around the world. Though many Dravet patients begin their lives as healthy and balanced children, advancement quickly begins to fall back after the first couple of months.

High-CBD stress could be located at nearly every clinical cannabis dispensary in medical states.
CBD and also THC both attach on receptors in different locations. While THC straight involves the cannabinoid with the orthosteric site, CBD seems to manage or fine tune that interaction by linking to a separate receptor place.
This truth is perhaps exactly what makes it possible for CBD to regulate the psychoactivity of THC. Simply mentioned, if you're feeling a little nervous after some marijuana, it could indicate way too much THC as well as not nearly enough CBD. Proof suggests that CBD reduces the psychedelic high from THC.
As Russo suggests, CBD also changes the capability for the body's own endocannabinoids to involve with the primary binding website. This is thought to alter “endocannabinoid tone”, which might be quite advantageous for certain medical problems.

Lately, I've been knitting washcloths from tarn during church. It's a small project and I don't need a pattern. It's a rectangle with a garter stitch edge. The tarn basket didn't use up all my tarn, so when I saw this idea here, I jumped on it.
They are very thick, 100% cotton, and somewhat stiff. I'm hoping they'll be scratchy enough to be scrubbers for the dishes. We're on our last plastic scrubber and after that, I think we'll be done with plastic scrubbers if these work out.


New Delhi: The Delhi government on Monday launched a common mobility card with a tagline of 'One Delhi One Ride' which would enable city commuters to access Metro and bus services with a single card at a 10 per cent discount.
Known as 'One', the newly designed card will be available for sale on all Delhi Metro stations and DTC pass counters from Tuesday.
"The existing Metro smartcards will continue to stay valid but any new card or replacement will be through 'ONE' card," Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said during the launch of the card at Rajghat bus depot here.
The process of recharging these cards at metro stations will also remain the same with Rs 200 as the minimum recharge value and Rs 50 as the security fee on the card, an official from the transport department said, adding that only the basic design has been changed.
Gahlot, meanwhile, said his department is also considering extending the usage of the 'ONE' card to other modes of transport.
"The commuters should be able to travel from home to office on a single card and hence, we are considering coverage of auto-rickshaws, taxis, RTVs and other modes of transport under this card," he said while talking to the reporters.
The card was launched in the presence of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) Managing Director Mangu Singh, Commissioner of Transport Varsha Joshi, Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) Managing Director Manoj Kumar, Dialogue and Development Commission of Delhi (DDC) vice-chairperson Jasmin Shah and other senior officials of the Transport Department.
The newly designed cards will have a background of cubic grid in bright shades of red and yellow. It will also have a circular unit with sketches of Metro trains, DTC buses, auto rickshaws and Delhi's monuments around it. It will now carry the logos of all three transport operators in the city - DMRC, DTC and the Delhi Government.
Gahlot said that initially, the card had some issues with the Electronic Ticketing Machines (ETMs) in DTC buses and hence, "we were unable to roll it out early but after regular meetings and discussions, we have overcome those issues".
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) minister also said the Delhi government will soon be launching a common application through which commuters can plan multi-modal trips including buses and metro from and to any point in the city.
"Commuters will also be able to see live locations of Delhi buses through that application," Gahlot said.

L.A.’s Geffen Theater production of “Wait Until Dark” puts a new spin on the spooky 1967 thriller with Jeffrey Hatcher‘s adaptation that preemed Oct. 16.
The action has been moved to just after World War II, with “The Newsroom” star Alison Pill sporting blood-red lipstick and long dark hair for the role as the wily blind girl that Audrey Hepburn played in the film version.
Pill has starred in several Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, but this is her first time on the boards in L.A. The story’s famous last scene that takes place mostly in the dark is a strenuous bit of stagecraft for the actors to repeat dozens of times, but Pill said, “That’s why I do theater, so you can keep growing every night.”
Pill said she appreciates that the new adaptation is both “darker and more modern,” despite being moved from the 1960s to the 1940s. Co-star Adam Stein, in the Alan Arkin villain role, said it was a bit scary to get back into theater after taking some time to write and produce TV series “Under the Dome.” Working yourself up into a state of high terror is harder when there’s both a matinee and an evening performance, Stein admitted.
Thomas Sadoski said he was impressed by his “Newsroom” co-star’s transformation into vintage femme fatale — especially as “Newsroom” ended with Pill looking shell-shocked and sporting a short, spiky red do.
“Masters of Sex” star Mather Zickel hewed closer to his TV persona in Richard Crenna’s role as the safe and alluring Mike in the Matt Shakman-directed play that also stars Matt McTighe, Rod McLachlan and Brighid Fleming.

Branson pours £4m into flat cola
Richard Branson has been forced to inject a further £4m into his struggling Virgin Cola business after a dip in sales and continuing losses.
More than five years on from the hyped launch of the drink, latest accounts from the company show that Branson is as far away as ever from his dream of overhauling Pepsi and establishing Virgin Cola as Britain's second soft-drink brand behind Coke.
Accounts for the year to 29 January, filed with Companies House last week, reveal Virgin Cola - since renamed Virgin Drinks - made a pre-tax loss of £4.43m compared with a deficit of £7.2m in 1998. In 1997 it made a £116,000 profit.
The figures show that last year's reduction in losses was due to a major cut in costs rather than an improvement in sales. The firm's turnover actually fell from £23 million to £20.2m. The company, which has struggled to establish a powerful presence in a market dominated by the two multinational brands, said it had been hit by launch costs incurred during an expansion of its distribution base and 'aggressive promotional activity' in the cola market.
However, the accounts go on to say: 'The Virgin Trading Company Limited demonstrated its commitment to the future of the company in the UK by injecting a further £4m into the company in 1999.'
Virgin Cola's owner, Virgin Trading, is controlled by Richard Branson family trusts.
A spokeswoman for Virgin Cola said the Knightsbridge-based company was hoping to revive its fortunes by launching a new range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic Red Bull-style stimulant drinks.
Virgin Cola was launched on a wave of publicity in November 1994 in partnership with Canadian drinks company Cott Corporation.

One of the main signs that you have an indica plant is wide and short leaves that are an intense dark color and can already be seen once the plants are about a palm’s width off the ground; indica strains are generally recognized due to their leaves and color so you should instantly be able to tell them apart.
Indica weed characteristics
This is one of the most productive indica weed strains, meaning that it’ll take a little longer than the others. This plant’s strong point is along the central stem and its large quantity of branches that grow long and heavy colas, making it perfect for indoor growing. When planted under grow lights this is a strain that is going to need a SoG or SCRoG system to get the most yield possible in the smallest space available, easily getting over 500g per square meter. It should take about 70 days to flower. Outdoors this strain is an absolute monster, giving almost a kilo per plant, although you’ll need to take some care when it comes to picking the location; this plant will be ready around the start of October, so you’ll need to protect it from the rain which could seriously damage those thick and dense buds. If you live somewhere cold or where it rains a lot then you’ll need to take some preventive measures and use fungicides to make sure you don’t get any nasty surprises when it comes time to harvest. Indoors this plant will give the most of its flavor, a nice earthy taste that completely fills your lungs when you smoke. It has a potent relaxing sensation, perfect for relaxing both body and mind; before you can realize you’ll be hypnotized by the effects. It grows quite tall and wide, so it’s perfect for cloning indoors and outdoors you should leave it as it is and you’ll be rewarded. Once it begins flowering the branches will open out a bit, allowing the light to reach all of the flowers making for even longer colas of top quality bud that’s hard to find on an Indica strain. Another amazing quality is that it’s full of resin absolutely everywhere, so you’ll be able to get some amazing extracts from this strain, whether its hash or BHO or tinctures.
Northern Lights X
Practically all indicas have relaxing, pain-relieving, calming, anti-inflammatory, appetite-increasing effects among many, many others. This is due to the high amounts of THC and CBD that these plants contain. Thanks to producing higher amounts of CBD than sativa strains, it gives a much more complete and less psychoactive-effect. There are many people that have illnesses and need to take pills to sleep or to reduce pain; smoking a joint, vaporizing some extracts or making your own medicinal tinctures can be just as effective as the medications, even more so as it doesn’t come with any nasty side effects other than the munchies and relaxation. Keep in mind that certain terpenes also directly affect the effect that cannabis plants produce.
Attention to detail is essential if you are a beginner who is trying to learn how to grow weed. Even the most inconsequential detail could be the difference between a healthy plant and a dud. In this video, learn about the best type of container to use to grow your marijuana plant. We recommend a “smart pot,” which is a container that is made of breathable fabric that allows the roots of your plant to grow much larger. Larger roots mean a larger marijuana plant, which means a more bountiful weed yield when the time comes.
First, you’ll need a growlight. I like HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting – HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) or MH (Metal Halide) systems with ballasts, bulbs and reflectors. If heat from these lights will be an issue, there are also LED (Light-Emitting Diode) and CFL (Compact Fluorescent) systems you can employ. Be sure to get a light that covers your tent’s footprint and invest in a decent timer to control when your light turns on and off.
Looking for the basics of how to grow marijuana? Here are the tools and information on how to grow weed affordably and effectively. All you need is a small discreet space and a little bit of a budget to get started on your indoor pot production.
You’ll also need an exhaust fan and activated carbon filter to reduce heat and eliminate odors. Be sure to get one that’s rated for your tent’s size with the proper ducting size. A clip-on circulating fan will keep air moving and stop it from being stagnant. A thermometer/hygrometer is also a must for keeping track of temperature and humidity.
Pest Control and Management
Change your feeding regimen to one suited for flowering. Plant nutrients generally come in vegetative or flowering formulations so switch over to a “blooming” solution. Depending on the flowering time of your strain, determine when you have two weeks or so left and begin the flushing process. If you’re growing a 60-day flowering strain, start to flush your grow medium with only plain water around day 46.
When you’re ready to begin the flowering stage, switch your timer to a 12 hour on/12 hour off light cycle. Be sure never to interrupt the 12-hour dark period with any light. This confuses your plant and can cause serious problems.
Don’t prune or pinch plants at all once they’ve begun flowering – you’ll only be decreasing your harvest at that point. If the branches are threatening to reach the light, bend them or tie them down to keep them from burning. A trellis system constructed from chicken wire at canopy level (aka the ScrOG or Screen of Green system), will further spread out bud sites and increase your yields considerably. Simply train growing shoots to grow horizontally along the bottom of the screen to fill empty spots.
How To Grow Weed
Anytime space is limited for growing, some basic rules apply: Since square footage is at a premium, plans must take full advantage of each available inch. This means choosing between growing indica-dominant strains such as Hashplant, Afghani #1 or planning on using drastic trellising and training techniques if growing out sativas such as Super Silver Haze, Jack Herer or Kali Mist.
After you’ve planted your seeds or rooted your clones, it’s time to get them growing. Lower your reflector so that it’s closer to the plants rather than making them stretch to reach for light. Raise the lighting system as your plants grow. Set your light timer to be on for 18 hours per day and off for 6 hours. During this vegetative stage, the plant will grow leaves and branches but no flowers (unless it’s an auto-flowering plant).
