FISMA, HIPAA, SOX, PCI-DSS, H.R. 7535 the list goes on and on – each tethered by a common thread: proof of strong encryption.
Yet, enterprise cryptography is taken for granted – rarely evaluated or checked. So much so, that up to 80% of network traffic can have some defeatable flaw in its encryption. Our recent analysis of customer data showed that up to 92% of all traffic on a hospital network uses no encryption at all. Large, legacy systems are fraught with outdated cryptographic standards such as MD5, SHA-1, TLS 1.1, or SSL 3.0 in use years after they’ve been deemed unreliable. This common occurrence exposes data and communication networks to unnecessary risk and introduces vulnerabilities ready for exploitation by bad actors.

Tyrone Council Launch Bid To Find At Least 3 Decent Looking Males To Join County Breeding Programme
Following the news that beautifulpeople.com confirmed Irish males are the ugliest on the planet, the Tyrone Council have launched an ambitious bid to find at least three men in the county for breeding purposes.
Application forms were released this morning in Omagh, Dungannon and Strabane for anyone who thinks they might be half decent looking and willing to join the breeding lab in Cookstown, even Pomeroy men.
Already 55 applications have been filled in, with 54 immediately rejected. One form has yet to be processed as the applicant took a picture of the back of their head by mistake.
Council member Bridie McAteer described the breeding process:
“It’s a bit primitive like, but we have hired three rooms in Cookstown with music and all playing and women who want beautiful children can tackle one of these three lads if we find them. They’ll then receive a grant of £100 a month until the child is 16, providing the child is male and decent looking too. In time, we hope to have an extensive breeding programme by 2050.”
Applications are open until 1st March. To apply, the council needs three photos of the applicant’s face in different poses, unshaven. If selected, the breeders will be put on a strict diet of oysters and milk.
Worry In Tyrone As New Secretary of State Has A Derry Head On Him
Brandon Lewis’ appointment today, who replaced Julian Smith as the NI Secretary of State, has caused much consternation in Tyrone as he clearly has a distinct Derry head on him.
In recent years, there has been a feeling in the county that Derry have been given money more readily towards infrastructure and schools and this will only increase suspicions of bias especially as the new man has a Derry head on him.
Margaret Dinny, a politics teacher from Omagh, confirmed our worst fears:
“He definitely has an oul thick Derry head on him. Those puffed red cheeks and attempt at a spiked haircut despite his advancing years is a classic south Derry look. And he’s always smirking. Bet the wee balax has a notion of his cousins too. We could be in for a tough time again in Tyrone. “
There has already been confirmation that one of Lewis’ first visits will be to Ballinderry to confirm that most of it is actually in Derry which is geographically incorrect.
There are also rumours that he may move the foot of the Sperrins out of Tyrone completely by doing some serious fracking around Greencastle in order to move the mountain range by force.
Poor Quality Of Australian Cabbage And Bacon Crucial To McShane Decision
Ten days of sub-standard cabbage and bacon was reportedly the final straw for Cathal McShane after it was confirmed he will stay in Tyrone for 2020 instead of Adelaide.
Preferring the bleak and miserable setting of Leckpatrick, McShane was said to be dismayed at the presentation and texture of his favourite meal of champ, three sausages, brown sauce and a bacon and cabbage combo which he has eaten every day since he was 7.
Close friend and confidante Kieran ‘Tootsie’ Bagule revealed that this was only the tip of the iceberg:
There was no Emmerdale either or nothing. Corned beef sandwiches were also almost impossible to locate in Adelaide. And the tea was shite.
He also confirmed that McShane was asked to sing an initiation song at his first training session. The fact that no one knew who Garth Brooks was after he belted out ‘Friends In Low Places’ confirmed his decision to leave.
Rumours that his Adelaide Crows teammates complained of having to wear sunglasses during meetings, due to his bright white skin colour, were said to be exaggerated.
Man Who Was Fined For Being On Phone Whilst Riding Donkey Maintains He Was Passenger. Donkey MOTs Delayed.
A Benburb farmer has appealed his £30 fine for riding a donkey while phoning his girlfriend on a backroad near the Moy after he claimed that he was not in charge of the beast but simply a passenger.
George Wallace (33) admitted he was on his phone to his girlfriend whilst sitting on the donkey’s back on his way to an illegal greyhound meeting when he was caught by three PSNI officers who were also on their way to the meeting.
However, Wallace argued that he did not set out on the journey with the donkey and only just embarked it halfway up the road, as you would a taxi.
There’s no way I was in control of that donkey. I just pointed it in the way of the Moy and sat back and relaxed. And I phoned the woman to remind her to turn the immersion off. I’ve never heard of a taxi passenger getting done for being on a phone.”
Meanwhile, donkey MOTs are to begin in March 2020 after the lifts which raises donkeys up were found to be suitable for left-handed donkeys only.
Three donkeys were turned away from the Cookstown MOT depot yesterday on a trial run for dunging in the centre.

A look at the shareholders of Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust (SGX:A17U) can tell us which group is most powerful. Insiders often own a large chunk of younger, smaller, companies while huge companies tend to have institutions as shareholders. Companies that used to be publicly owned tend to have lower insider ownership.
With a market capitalization of S$8.5b, Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust is rather large. We’d expect to see institutional investors on the register. Companies of this size are usually well known to retail investors, too. Taking a look at the our data on the ownership groups (below), it’s seems that institutions are noticeable on the share registry. Let’s take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholder can tell us about A17U.
What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust?
Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices.
We can see that Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust does have institutional investors; and they hold 42% of the stock. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. When multiple institutions own a stock, there’s always a risk that they are in a ‘crowded trade’. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust’s historic earnings and revenue, below, but keep in mind there’s always more to the story.
Hedge funds don’t have many shares in Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust. There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future.
Insider Ownership Of Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust
The definition of company insiders can be subjective, and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. The company management answer to the board; and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board, themselves.
I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.
Our information suggests that Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust insiders own under 1% of the company. We do note, however, it is possible insiders have an indirect interest through a private company or other corporate structure. It is a pretty big company, so it would be possible for board members to own a meaningful interest in the company, without owning much of a proportional interest. In this case, they own around S$235k worth of shares (at current prices). Arguably, recent buying and selling is just as important to consider. You can click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling.
General Public Ownership
With a 41% ownership, the general public have some degree of sway over A17U. While this group can’t necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run.
Private Company Ownership
It seems that Private Companies own 17%, of the A17U stock. It might be worth looking deeper into this. If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report. Private companies may also have a strategic interest in the company.
I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.

Why the Zodiac Signs and the Loneliness is the Secret Ingredient of Love
Loneliness is something that we all live. Sometimes because we choose it and we want to be alone. Others because it is imposed on us (we end up being alone because the relationship with other people fails). Or because certain situations lead us to feel very alone internally even if we are surrounded by people.
Would you like to know how solitude focuses the signs of the Zodiac? If they choose it or are abandoned by the rest of the world? If they feel lonely but in reality they are not? If loneliness reinforces or weakens them? Let’s find out.
Because of its independent nature, Aries knows loneliness and does not fear it. He is used to it. When it is related, it is very much his own: he wants to maintain his independence and finds it difficult to adapt to others. But if there are deep feelings, for love or friendship, it is delivered with fewer reservations. The feeling of loneliness comes for the Aries when they have problems relating to each other because of their strong character, their intolerance or their impatience.
They reject what they do not want and they isolate themselves with their anger. And there comes that loneliness that is not the one that Aries likes, the one he chooses when he goes around the world wandering alone.
Leo and Sagittarius will be the ones who best understand you and help you get out of isolation when you sulk. Gemini and Aquarius, for their empathy, will encourage you to understand the situation they have come to be like this. And Libra will be the perfect balance to be by your side if you feel alone or to follow you wherever you want to go out into the world again.
Taurus knows how to be alone and enjoy life from his loneliness. Their calm mood, little given to the changes, leads them to value relationships with others in their proper measure. That is, relationships must exist to satisfy what is strictly necessary. No more no less.
The least is when Taurus receives less affection than he needs. And you need a lot, that’s the problem. It has true dependence. That’s when a feeling of loneliness appears that he does not like so much. Although it is strong to cope, as with so many other things.
Virgo and Capricorn are the ones who can best help you with your loneliness. They are as practical as Taurus and they understand you so much that they will offer you everything you need. With Cancer and Pisces, Taurus will always have high doses of affection.
He will never miss them. And Scorpio will make you recover the illusion and compensate you for any lack of affection through love, desire and passion.
When Gemini arrives at solitude, he has enough resources to face it. Being an independent and free sign leads you to enjoy your company quite well.
But being a sociable and restless sign makes you constantly look for plans and company. And if these do not arrive, the feeling of loneliness appears. Minimum. Gemini always finds where to go and with whom. The real loneliness comes because of their superficial relationships (we already know that Gemini does not go deeply into all his affections).
That make you feel little understood or heard. And our Gemini, it’s isolated.
Libra and Aquarius will be the best people to help Gemini express what he feels. To get rid of that incomprehension and feel judged by the rest of the Universe. Aries and Leo will be your dose of optimism and confidence to overcome any adversity. And Sagittarius will be the one who complements him in the good and the bad. Because he will try not to fail him.
Cancer seeks solitude when its state of mind asks for it. But as he overcomes the moment, he will want to enjoy the company of his people, with whom he is completely happy.
The ideal world for Cancer is full of affections, of deep bonds, and of protecting and giving to be loved and protected. It is in this need to receive the love of others where the Achilles heel of Cancer is.
A true dependence. And when he lacks that love and emotional security, Cancer feels lonely, but only really.
With Scorpio and Pisces a Cancer you will never lack affection and understanding. And they will also help you to contain yourself when you are being very deluded.
Taurus and Virgo represent for Cancer the affection from the strength and the most complete protection that the crab can imagine. And Capricorn, from his silence, will tell you more than any other sign. And Cancer will stay by his side, quiet and happy. Safe and protected.
Leo does not like loneliness, and although he is strong to face it, he does not want it, nor does he seek it. Leo is happy in his relationships, giving everything to others, and receiving in return his gratitude, his compliments and his admiration.
That happiness will be what you look for your life, feeling the total dissatisfaction when you do not get it or when it is incomplete. And what is worse, without being able to accept their share of guilt in order to find the solution. Leo without illusions does not feel well and sinks a little psychologically. And from that sadness to feeling lonely and abandoned in life there will only be one step.
Aries and Sagittarius will help Leo lift his spirits and they will achieve it with his strong personality, something that Leo admires a lot. Libra and Gemini will teach you to ask for what you want instead of waiting for it to be offered without further ado. And Aquarius will be what Leo wants as long as Leo regains his spirits. It will be a lover or friend, and it will be there so that the lion never feels alone.
Virgo is usually alone but not as much for being an independent sign as for its 50% solitary nature. The other 50% is more sociable, and even a tad dependent on relationships with others, who care and help as much as they can. But he likes to do it that way and he does not care about the effort.
It is his perfectionist zeal that can ruin everything. If Virgo does not believe that everything he does is 100% perfect, his dissatisfaction will lead him to be useless, incomplete, lost, ONLY in the world …
Capricorn and Taurus can serve Virgo as support, giving him understanding and restraint in his discouragement and an important reinforcement in terms of encouragement and companionship.
Cancer and Scorpio will be the balm to reassure Virgo from affection and tenderness. Pisces will be your soul mate to understand, encourage and accompany you wherever you go and be as is
Libra knows how to be alone when it is what he touches. Just as it is perfect relating, something that touches many times more than being alone. Having people and feeling accompanied and guided is the best thing that can happen to Libra.
The problem comes when you depend on all those people and without it you are not as well. It will be in this constant search for relationships that make you feel good where Libra can get lost. And waste time and good spirits. And end up feeling alone (and weaker and with less personality than you really have).
Gemini and Aquarius will be your best companions to jump into the world and interact with everyone. And from there they can tell you the tricks they have so they do not depend on anything or anyone. Leo and Sagittarius will be the true trust and safety injectors for when Libra is low on spirits. And Aries will gather everything that others offer in himself, all for his beloved Libra and appreciated without limits.
Scorpio lives among his relationships with others, where he is nourished at the level of deep feelings and sensual pleasures. And between his moments of solitude, where he enjoys connecting with his interior, an unlimited world to dive to death.
It is in his relationships that he can be frustrated when he does not find what he wants: that intensity in the feeling he always seeks and that when he appears above it seems small. And when Scorpio does not have what he wants, he fights with ghosts that leave him exhausted or implacable with the Universe that does not give him what he wants and forces him to be alone. And Scorpio does not want to be alone.
Pisces and Cancer understand the sensitivity of Scorpio because they have a very similar one. They will be the best companions for your discouragement. Virgo and Capricorn will represent the stable force to welcome the Scorpio that wants to flee. And they will take care of him. And Taurus will offer you everything you need in a deep way, so that Scorpio does not doubt for a second that there is someone who watches over him.
In the day to day, there is no sign with better optimism to face it all. In addition to strength and ability to relate to everyone without problem. And some dissatisfaction when these relationships do not work well.
All controlled. The loneliness of Sagittarius will be sought by him alone. And it will be for a vital anguish and a sadness without motive that will take you to serious existential proposals. The lack of answers or that others do not understand will make you feel bad, and you will isolate yourself. As if only in that solitude could he find the answers he needs.
Aries and Leo have the strength to encourage Sagittarius and above all, to help him fight with what does not satisfy him. Libra and Aquarius will reinforce their idealism and will want to exchange common experiences and interests. Gemini, with your conversation and company, will make you feel better, offer you answers and give you the necessary understanding to make life safer.
Capricorn lives in solitude, because he likes it. He was born to be alone and he has assumed it. I do not want to change it either. Capricorn perfectly controls relationships and does not depend so much on the affects that are derived from them. That makes him more free to enjoy solitude if that is what he touches.
But Capri also feels and suffers, like everyone else. How then is that loneliness of yours not so accepted and that it hurts more? The one that is forced to suffer because he no longer knows how to get out of it. As if being so alone Capricorn developed a certain social phobia. Like a fish that bites its tail.
And to isolate a lot, there is more shyness, and shyness, less and less social contact, and every less contact, a loneliness that is not good.
Taurus and Virgo will be great support for Capricorn. They will be there whenever Capricorn needs someone. And they will protect you. Scorpio and Pisces will touch your sensitive fiber to soften you and feel that you can give much to others. Cancer will teach you that affection is necessary and that lack of it is not good. And that is in so many places that it is impossible to say no.
Aquarius is sociable, has no problems with people and is open to everything. His solitude is chosen by nature and because his individuality leads him not to follow the mass. He prefers to be alone.
When it is related, it will be when Aquarius becomes more aware that it does not need anyone but that you do see it, because there are people who contribute to it. He will realize that to want him he has to give more.
That there are times that one has to give in to impose their criteria and their eccentricities. It will cost them to give in because it does not work out. Nor open, because he has no habit. And these handicaps will lead you to feel the bitterness of loneliness. And it will look more lonely than ever.
Gemini and Libra will be those friends who understand you best.
But if it had to be delivered in another way, it could also be for Aquarius the perfect couples to love him to death. Aries and Sagittarius will provide a point of joy to cope better with existential crises. And with Leo, Aquarius could feel the protection. The ideal talisman to face whatever is needed in life.
Pisces can be alone without problems. His introverted nature makes him isolate himself; It does not need to be always accompanied. But Pisces knows that the company also brings him what he wants most in this world: affection and care.
He dies to be loved (although that intensity in feeling tries to control it whenever he can). All this complexity and double personality lead him not to feel understood, feeling that he perceives with such intensity and sensitivity, which leads to self-abandonment and loneliness. It is difficult to understand someone with such a special heart.
Cancer and Scorpio will help Pisces to contain their emotions so they do not expose themselves too much. They have experience and know that prevention is better than cure. Capricorn and Taurus can offer you energy and strength but wrapped in a lot of understanding. And Virgo goes directly to the service of Pisces to help him in whatever is necessary, and in what is not necessary, too.

Community energy conference to inspire new developments
Community groups and social enterprises across Scotland are being invited to a free conference to learn about the latest funding and support packages for local energy schemes.
The annual Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) Conference is a two-day event that aims to give groups all the information they need to get low carbon and renewable energy developments off the ground and generating benefits for their communities.
Taking place at the Golden Lion Hotel in Stirling on April 26 and 27, the event will welcome expert speakers, including the Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy, Paul Wheelhouse, and Chris Stark, the Scottish Government’s director for energy and climate change.
Mr Stark said: “Local energy forms a key pillar of the Scottish Government’s energy vision and the CARES Conference is the ideal opportunity to find out more about our aims and ambitions for Scotland’s energy.
“We look forward to engaging with stakeholders on our draft Energy Strategy and to gather opinions on how we can support local projects to shape our energy future.”
Attendees will hear how the Scottish Government CARES programme has helped to deliver 265 community energy schemes so far, including the Rumbling Bridge Community Hydro Society in Crook of Devon, Callander Community Hydro Scheme and the Barra Community Wind Turbine.
And specific breakout sessions will be held to provide further information on financing developments, including applying for CARES support, project management issues and available technology.
Chris Morris of Local Energy Scotland, who manage CARES on behalf of the Scottish Government, said: “We always look forward to this event as it’s a melting pot of ideas and an event with a real buzz. It’s inspiring to hear the amazing stories and achievements of communities supported through CARES.
“An important aspect of the event is that the views we obtain from delegates helps ensure CARES delivers for the sector. This year is a fantastic opportunity for anyone with a stake in local energy projects to help to shape the future Energy Strategy.”
Delegates will be able to meet with the leaders of existing community energy projects, and there will be a free conference dinner at the end of the first day.
Views gathered from the event will also be fed into the Scottish Government’s energy targets and help shape future support to help achieve these objectives.

When it comes to one-of-a-kind experiences, few are more exclusive, and in my opinion, can be more meaningful than exploring some of the most remote places on earth onboard a large private yacht. Now, I know it may sound like I’m stating the obvious here. But stick with me.
I’m not talking about catching rays and hanging out by the pool onboard any number of 200-to-300-foot-long yachts that spend the summer in the Mediterranean and the winter in the Caribbean or French Polynesia. And I’m NOT saying there’s anything wrong with catching rays on a superyacht in the Med. In fact, I’m off to the Monaco Yacht Show next week to do just that!
But what I am saying is luxury yacht polar exploration represents a higher level of exclusivity simply because there aren’t that many private yachts (or yacht crews) that are capable of being fully self-sufficient and operating in the harsh and often dangerous conditions of the polar regions for any length of time.
Since even fewer private expedition yachts combine the strength and capabilities of a commercial-grade research vessel (that’s capable of punching through polar ice), with expert guides and five-star superyacht services (that will pamper 12 guests in 7 large staterooms), the 236-foot-long Nansen Explorer is built to be able to take guests to more remote destinations in the polar regions than even some ice-class yachts would avoid. And it doesn’t get better or more exclusive than being able to visit and experience areas of the globe than other people simply can’t get to, right?
And thanks to a just-completed multi-million-dollar refit that has transformed the interior of this commercial-grade ship into a luxury yacht, the Nansen Explorer is built to wrap its guests in a warm blanket of luxury too. Staterooms are modern and spacious with comfortable beds, spa-like bathrooms and floor to ceiling windows. The main saloon is a comfortable spot for guests to gather and share stories (and selfies) of their daily adventures.
Nansen Explorer also boasts an expansive heli-deck, complete with onboard refueling capabilities that make it easy for heli-skiing and inland exploration. There’s also plenty of space for the numerous kayaks, SUPs, and expedition-grade Zodiacs that make it possible to have intimate encounters with whales and other wildlife that makes polar exploration so special. Meanwhile, the ship’s talented chef offers a steady diet of Michelin star level cuisine.
But as anyone who’s spent any time in the polar regions can attest, the brute strength of the ship is only part of the equation. The Nansen Explorer’s ability to go places where other yachts can’t go is enhanced by its officers, crew, and guides that are experienced in dealing with the special challenges that come with luxury polar exploration.
And those capabilities are further enhanced by the exclusive partnership Nansen Polar Expeditions have formed to operate the ship with the exploration experts at EYOS Expeditions. As a result, guests will benefit from the decades of combined experience leading countless polar expeditions for a wide range of clients that both companies share.
Currently, the ship is just putting the finishing touches on all the work that was completed in the shipyard. But the teams from both Nansen Polar Expeditions and EYOS Expeditions did take a short break in Iceland earlier this summer to show just how special the ship is going to be.
Not only where guests treated to the genuine warmth and sincere welcome from the captain, crew and local guides. Leaders from both Nansen Polar Expeditions and EYOS Expeditions were also on hand to welcome guests, see the ship in action and most of all, to enjoy all the wonders the Northwest coast of Iceland has to offer.
One evening, guests were quickly launched in the Zodiacs and treated to a close encounter with a playfully breeching humpback whale. Another evening, the crew surprised guests with taking them to a remote natural hot spring that was made even better with the champagne they pulled out of their backpacks.
But maybe the biggest surprise of all came on the last night when the ship dropped anchor just outside Reykjavík. Guests were just finishing a superb meal when the highly experienced polar guide and EYOS Expeditions co-founder Tim Soper made a little “announcement.” This was not out of the ordinary since the group quicky became accustomed to Tim providing insight, instructions and information for the next day after dinner.
“We’ve arranged a little surprise for you,” he said with a smile. “We’ve arranged for a helicopter to pick you up and give you all an aerial tour of the area.
“We’d hoped he’d be able to fly you over the active volcano,” he added. “But unfortunately, the volcano is in the clouds tonight.”
Needless to say, guests were excited to head to the heli-deck and explore Iceland from the air. But they were more than just excited because the whole secret heli-ops plan the crew of the Hansen Explorer and EYOS Exploration pulled off was such a surprise. And as Tim Soper knows, little things like surprise helicopter rides over active volcanoes (when the weather permits) can make even the most jaded luxury traveler feel the some of the joy and wonder we once felt as kids.
And there in nothing better than that.

BALTIMORE, MD (September 19, 2018) – The Maryland Department of Commerce is leading a delegation of six companies this week to Africa Aerospace & Defense 2018 in Tshwane, South Africa, the largest exhibition of its kind on the African continent, held September 19-23. This is the second time Maryland has led a delegation to this biennial tradeshow, which attracts attendees from over 100 countries around the world.
“This is a unique opportunity for Maryland to reach many of the world’s largest aerospace and defense companies and share that our state is open for business with this international audience,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “With more than 30,000 attendees from around the globe, having a strong presence at this event is critical to our companies looking to market their products and services to new customers.”
The companies exhibiting at the show include ABSI Defense (St. Mary’s County); Avian (St. Mary’s County); Department 13 (Howard County); Encore Solutions (Montgomery County); Maxtena (Montgomery County); and Murray Corporation (Baltimore County). Five of these companies received funding through Commerce’s ExportMD program to travel abroad for the tradeshow. Additionally, each company is using the FlexEx program, through Maryland’s international office in Durban, South Africa, to set up business meetings overseas. Learn about these programs and other resources for growing globally online
“Since our ExportMD program began almost 20 years ago, we have been able to help hundreds of Maryland companies attend trade shows, and connect with business partners and customers around the world,” said Maryland Commerce Secretary Mike Gill. “As a result, many companies have been able secure new contracts and sales, which has led to increased revenues and new jobs.”
“Encore Solutions, Inc. (ESI) is honored to have another opportunity to join the Maryland Commerce delegation, which has helped us establish our footprint in foreign markets as we continue to grow our business internationally,” said Dr. Nicole Priester, president and CEO of ESI.
In addition to the five companies exhibiting at Africa Aerospace and Defense, nine other small and mid-sized Maryland companies have been awarded ExportMD grants to help promote their products and services in the global marketplace. The next application deadline is October 1, 2018 and eligibility requirements can be found on the Commerce website
Established in 1999, the ExportMD program provides matching grants up to $5,000 from Commerce’s Office of International Investment and Trade. ExportMD is funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration, which has awarded multiple State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) grants to Maryland Commerce to help fund the program.

While we look to local businesses for advertising, we hope to keep that cost as low as possible in order to attract even the smallest of local businesses and help them get out to the public. We must also be able to pay employees(part-time and full-time), along with equipment, and website related things. We never want to make the Chronicle a “pay-wall” style news site.
To that end, we are looking to the community to offer donations. Whether it’s a one-time donation or you set up a reoccurring monthly donation. It is all appreciated. All donations at this time will be going to furthering the Chronicle through hiring individuals that have the same goals of providing fair, and unbiased news to the community. For now, donations will be going to a business PayPal account I have set-up for the Southern Maryland Chronicle, KDC Designs. All business transactions currently occur within this PayPal account. If you have any questions regarding this you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.org
Thank you for all of your support and I hope to continue bringing Southern Maryland the best news possible for a very long time. — David M. Higgins II

Refugee Support Admin Volunteer
Refugee Support Admin Volunteer
Desired commitment: 2/3 hours per week between 10am-3:30pm either Monday/ Wednesday or Friday for at least 12 months
About the role
As a Refugee Support Admin volunteer you would be helping the Refugee Support Team as they support refugees and asylum-seekers to adjust to life in a new country and access vital services.
About the Team
We use kindness to help those in crisis.
Every year thousands of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants arrive in the UK with little support, money, or opportunities. Sometimes these people don't even have the means to find and contact their loved ones back home. It's our job to do what we can to help.
We're a diverse, busy team dotted all over the country who share the common goal of doing what we can to make refugee lives that little bit brighter. From providing emotional support to reuniting families, we're committed to helping as many people as we can in as many ways as we can. Seeing the look on someone's face when they are put back in contact with a partner, parent, or child, that they thought they'd never see again is simply priceless.
About the person
You need to have good interpersonal, diplomacy, communication and teamwork skills although full training will be given for any technical requirements. Also someone who is:
- A good communicator and empathetic about the situation and needs of refugees.
- Able to keep the service user at the heart of what you do, supporting the Red Cross to understand service user needs and the difference our role makes.
- Knowledgeable about database systems.
- Able to speak good English; plus knowledge of a foreign language would be useful (particularly one used in the current local refugee population).
- Willing to uphold the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and adhere to the Society's Equal Opportunities Policy.
Tasks included in this Role:
- Assisting the Refugee Support project coordinator with setting up activities
- Creating information packs or collating resources for the department and service users
- Helping with record keeping and other administrative tasks
What We Offer
- Access to relevant in-house training and development opportunities, including British Red Cross intranet site and e-learning facility
- A full induction, support and supervision throughout your volunteering period
- Valuable exposure to the work of the Red Cross in the UK and around the world
- Reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses when on duty
- Being a volunteer for the British Red Cross means that you can proudly say you are part of the world's largest humanitarian organisation
Here's a little bit more about us...
The British Red Cross help anyone, anywhere in the UK; get the support they need if crisis strikes.
From hiring a wheelchair or dealing with loneliness, to adjusting to life in a new country - we're there when you need us. Our goal is to connect human kindness with human crisis.
We're part of the global Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and we believe in the power of kindness.
Our organisation was born out of a desire to bring help without discrimination. Impartiality and neutrality have been central values for the Red Cross since we started.
Young People and This Role
We value the energy and enthusiasm that young people bring to this role. To volunteer for this role you must be aged 16+. However (subject to a risk assessment, safeguarding requirements and parental consent) those aged 15+ can be involved in a variety of activities such as promoting the service, supporting service volunteers and undertaking training.
We value the skills and experience that people bring to the organisation. We will work with you to look at your knowledge and skills and help make an assessment about which elements of the learning for your role you will need to complete with us and recognise where you may already know all that you need to confidently and safely carry out your duties. We want to try and make sure that you get all the training you need, no more and no less.
Connecting human kindness with human crisis.

Elbit System's spider-like drone to join the ranks of the UK Army soon
The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has contracted Elbit Systems UK to supply Magni-X micro-Uncrewed Aerial Systems (micro-UAS). The MoD's Defence Equipment & Support's Future Capability Group awarded the contract as part of the British Army's Human Machine Teaming framework.
If all goes according to plan, specialized army units will have the tested micro-UAS by mid-2023.
Human Machine Teaming (HMT) is a way for the British Army to improve its capabilities by combining human soldiers with autonomous systems like drones and robots. The goal of HMT is to help soldiers work with autonomous systems in a way that complements their skills. This will allow them better use technology and be more effective on the battlefield.
The British Army should be able to do more with this framework, especially in reconnaissance, logistics, and combat. The HMT framework is still in development, and more details are unavailable.
A family of quadcopter platforms called Magni-X is a tested military-grade Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) micro-UAS already used by armed forces worldwide. Elbit Systems UK will provide the service-ready Magni-X systems to the British Army as part of the agreement, with an option to deliver numerous additional systems.
The Magni-X given to customers will have many payloads, such as gimbaled cameras for electro-optical and infrared imaging, giving them powerful long-range reconnaissance capabilities.
The Magni-X is lightweight and autonomous
The Magni-X is a small, lightweight, and packable mUAS system that weighs 4.5 pounds (2 kg) and can fly independently. It can also be combined with Elbit's Legion-X System to allow swarming, which helps ground troops by making them stronger.
Magni-X is a well-known, in-service micro-UAS that can fit in a backpack, make little noise, or appear on the radar. It is meant to improve short-range reconnaissance and help with combat and intelligence operations for up to 60 minutes.
"This contract represents another milestone in Elbit Systems UK’s delivery of advanced UAS systems to the UK Armed Forces. The unique capabilities of these systems demonstrates our commitment to being at the forefront of technological advances to support the integration of Robotics and Autonomous Systems to enhance the British Army’s capabilities," said Elbit Systems UK CEO Martin Fausset.
Elbit Systems UK Ltd. has two joint ventures and three wholly-owned subsidiaries. More than 600 people work in high-tech jobs in the rail, aerospace, and defense industries for Elbit Systems UK businesses in the UK. The two joint ventures were set up to provide and support three aircraft fleets for the UK MOD Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) program and to give the British Army the Watchkeeper program. Elbit Systems UK, an established supplier to the UK Armed Forces, provided the Dismounted Joint Fires Integrator and Joint Fires Synthetic Trainer.
Elbit Systems UK was also involved in essential defense programs like Morpheus and MEWSIC Increment 1.

Access the interpretation
Registration is required to access the free version of the Issued Standards. This version does not include additional documents that accompany the full standards (such as illustrative examples, implementation guidance and basis for conclusions).
IFRIC 19 provides accounting guidance where a financial liability is extinguished by the issue of equity instruments, often referred to as a debt for equity swap. The Interpretation provides guidance for the accounting treatment to be applied by the issuer of the equities (the debtor).
In this situation the equity instrument issued is measured at fair value; where fair value can’t be measured reliably, measurement should reflect the fair value of the liability extinguished. Any difference between the financial liability extinguished and the measurement of the equity instruments is recognised in profit or loss.
Where the issue of an equity instrument only part extinguishes the financial liability, the debtor must consider whether any consideration relates to the modification of the remaining liability. If it does, the fair value of the equity instrument issued must be allocated between the extinguished liability and the remaining liability.
If the remaining liability is substantially modified, then it must be derecognised and a new liability recognised.

The American Society of Civil Engineers produced this report card, "an assessment by professional engineers of the nation's status in 15 categories of infrastructure. In 2009, all signs point to an infrastructure that is poorly maintained, unable to meet current and future demands, and in some cases, unsafe. Since the last Report Card in 2005, the grades have not improved. ASCE estimates the nation still stands at a D average. Deteriorating conditions and inflation have added hundreds of billions to the total cost of repairs and needed upgrades. ASCE's current estimate is $2.2 trillion, up from $1.6 trillion in 2005."

Couple’s first is Santiam Canyon’s last baby of 2013
There were no infant takers for the first-of-the-year title on Jan. 1 at Santiam Hospital.
But 8-pound, 3 ½-ounce Charles Michael Elkington seemed snug and content with his claim: the last Santiam Canyon baby of 2013.
Named after his late grandfather, Michael Charles Elkington of Milton Freewater, Charles Michael was a cool, calm cucumber around noon on Thursday, Jan. 2, just a short spell before his parents, Seth and Sara, were planning on heading home with the new addition to the household.
The Stayton residents and eastern Oregon transplants appear to be uncannily drawn to end-of-the-year highlights; precisely five years ago on Jan. 31 Seth and Sara closed the deal and moved into their Stayton home. By the time Charles Michael arrived at 10:08 a.m., they were prepared for another late-year milestone.
The newcomer actually arrived a week later than his due date. Mom and dad were both ready; Sara quipped that her youngster was “well cooked.” But as the hours and days lingered and 2013 wound down, chatter about a landmark birthday picked up.
“We spent so much time talking about it,” Sara said. “People were saying ‘first-of-the-year baby, you get a lot of free stuff,’ or ‘last of the year, in time for a tax write off.’”
In the end it was just a small family affair with Sara’s sister, Lara Fritz of McMinnville, visiting in time for the event, and grandparents Lorri Elkington planning to visit from Milton Freewater and Doug and Shane Fritz also eagerly planning a visit to welcome Charles Michael.
Meanwhile, Sara and Seth emitted a subdued pride holding the delicate bundle, barely older than the year; mom removing a warm cap to show off “lots of nice hair.”
Santiam Hospital OB nurse Shaunna Stutzman agreed.
“That’s not the hairiest I’ve seen,” Stutzman said. “But that’s definitely a lot of hair.”
For the Elkingtons, a fuzzy first as the canyon’s last.

Dear Doctor: My husband has had very bad breath for several months, and lately he says he has a metallic taste in his mouth. Can you tell us what might be the cause?
Dear Reader: Bad breath is a fairly common occurrence, as is a metallic taste in the mouth. The cause of these is usually something benign, such as a lapse in oral hygiene. However, each can be a sign of a more serious condition, so it’s worthwhile to figure out what’s going on.
Let’s start with bad breath, or halitosis. A frequent cause is the presence of bacteria that live on the surface of the tongue, below the gumline and in the throat. These tiny organisms, which feed on the food particles left behind when we eat, emit an array of stinky gasses as a byproduct of their digestion. Two compounds in particular contribute to foul-smelling breath. They are hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs, and methyl mercaptan, which smells like putrid cabbage.
Some foods that we eat, such as onions and garlic, can also contribute to bad breath. Additional common causes for unpleasant breath include the poor dental hygiene that we mentioned earlier; an infection in the mouth, teeth or gums; the use of tobacco products; or interactions with certain medications or multivitamins. Saliva plays an important role in keeping the oral cavity clean, and a condition known as dry mouth, or xerostomia, can lead to bad breath. Chronic acid reflux, sometimes referred to as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is also associated with unpleasant odors in the mouth.
When it comes to the reasons for a metallic taste in the mouth, there’s a bit of crossover with halitosis. Poor brushing habits, certain foods and an oral infection can play a role. So can pregnancy, cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and environmental exposure. Some medications may cause a metallic taste, as can multivitamins containing zinc or copper. People who follow low-carb diets often report developing a persistent metallic taste, a side effect of their bodies being in ketosis.
However, the complaint is also associated with several more serious conditions. The perception of unusual flavors can occur in certain cancers when tumor growth affects the complex cellular pathways involved in taste and smell. They can also occur in diabetes, as a result of alterations to glucose metabolism. Kidney disease, liver disease and some metabolic disorders, which are marked by a buildup of waste products, can cause both bad breath and changes to taste. Taste abnormalities are also often seen in people with dementia, due to disease-related changes in the brain.
Since both the bad breath and the metallic taste are somewhat recent changes, we think it would be a good idea for your husband to see his dentist. A thorough checkup will reveal any tooth decay, gum disease or infection. If nothing turns up and you’re still worried, consider a visit to your primary care physician, who can help identify any underlying medical problems that require attention.

Pranav Trewn, writing at Stereogum:
But what the Offspring popularized is a far more noxious strain of punk music, and especially punk ideals. The band did not revolt against systems perpetuating economic inequality or authoritarianism, but instead expressed a middle-class teenage resentment that comes from already getting everything you want at home but still being forced to go to school. “The Kids Aren’t Alright” and “Why Don’t You Get A Job?” depict the struggles of people with implied choices, who ultimately squander opportunities as they burn out. Because Holland keeps the details that led to those “choices” vague, it’s easy to read the characters in these songs as unsympathetic. You focus on the absence of ambition, not on the factors that eroded it in the first place.
The Offspring have shared a cover of 311’s “Down” and 311 have covered “Self-Esteem.” You can hear the new renditions on Spotify or Apple Music. 311’s Nick Hexum talked to Billboard about how the idea came together:
It was the Offspring’s idea, and a great idea. They said, ‘We had the idea to cover your song, and we’ve done it,’ and I was like, ‘Wow! I have to hear this,’ ’cause it’s such a signature song. Were they going to cover it faithfully or rework it?’ They reworked it just enough; There’s punk to it, and Dexter (Holland) actually does a killer job of rapping SA (Martinez)’s parts in more of a punk rock style, with fast drums. We were so blown away, It was so my fun to hear that. So we returned the favor and reggaefied (‘Self Esteem’), which is probably my favorite song of theirs. It’ll be a lot of fun to give the fans new versions of these songs they love so much.
The Offspring debuted their new song “It Won’t Get Better” at Greenfield Festival in Switzerland. A fan shot video has made its way online.
In a new video interview, Noodles from The Offspring announces the band have 10-12 songs done for their new album and have already recorded a video for one of the songs. They hope to release the album in the fall.
The Offspring announced on WRIF’s Meltdown that the album have ten songs written for their new album. They’re aiming for a fall release.
311 and The Offspring are heading out on tour together. Gym Class Heroes will be opening.
Dorothy Atkins, writing at Law 360:
Facing the first day of a medical malpractice trial on Tuesday, a San Jose obstetrician-gynecologist who once drummed for The Offspring proved his punk rock bona fides rushing to the aid of a prospective juror in cardiac arrest, delivering CPR but forcing a mistrial over concerns his medical heroics could bias jurors in his favor.
The Offspring are currently in the studio recording.
The Offspring have announced a 20th anniversary limited edition release of Ixnay on the Hombre:
We are happy to announce that on December 15th Round Hill Music will release a 20th Anniversary limited edition of Ixnay On The Hombre on Vinyl. It will feature 180g opaque gold vinyl, a textured jacked with gold foil print, a matte custom printed sleeve and a heavyweight insert printed with gold foil and suitable for framing. Pre-order information will be announced this week.
In an interview with Rock in Rio The Offspring talk about releasing a new album in 2018.
The Offspring’s Dexter Holland has graduated from the University of Southern California with a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology. The announcement from Dexter can be read below.
The Offspring hope to have a new album out this year:
We’re hoping to get it out this year, yeah! We’ve been working on it. It’s going real slow. [laughs] We’ve been in and out of the studio for a few years now. We want to get some songs out before we did the whole record. Like, “Coming for You,” whenever that was released.
The Offspring will be performing Ignition in full for a 30th anniversary benefit show in Berkeley for 924 Gilman. Tickets are now on sale.
The Offspring have announced their summer tour dates. Sublime with Rome will be opening on select dates.
The Offspring’s self-released demo tape from 1986 has found its way to YouTube.
Blink-182, The Offspring, 311 and more have all been announced for this year’s Edgefest. The concert will take place on April 1st in Dallas, Texas.
The Offspring have announced some of their tour dates for 2017. So far it looks like a bunch of festival dates. You can find those below.
The Offspring talked with Alaska Dispatch News about hitting the studio soon:
The band is working on a new album, set to be released in early 2017 with a half dozen songs ready for recording. “We’re still planning on getting in the studio soon,” Noodles said. “We might still have a video. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.”
The Offspring has released their new song “Sharknado.” The track comes from the upcoming movie Sharknado: The 4th Awakens.
The Offspring will be releasing a new song in Sharknado 4. A clip of the song was played on KROQ yesterday and you should skip to the 53rd minute to hear it.

It’s important to know how data will be collected, stored and used. We now need to think twice before sharing personal details, such as our full name, location, or personal photos online, because of the power of generative Artificial Intelligence. The founder and CEO of QuickBlox, a cloud communication platform, says that we need to consider the implications of how this data can be used. The fact that the European Union has strict data rules with only 3% of the total users globally, should alert us that generative artificial intelligence should be handled with caution. In April, the first instance of a chatbot being blocked by a government order came when it was banned in Italy over privacy concerns. Bard has been facing flak for the possibility that it is trained on Gmail data.

The main goal of this body is to regularly assess existing governance frameworks and provide recommendations to ensure their alignment with human rights, the rule of law and the collective welfare. As 5G and other technologies are introduced, some parts of traditional legacy infrastructure are expected to fade into obscurity. As a result, many experts advise service providers to focus on virtualizing other functions that can deliver better return on investment, rather than moving their TDM to a secure, isolated environment. Over the last decade, we have seen our competition go from strength to strength as our tech ecosystems across the UK continue to mature, grow and attract many home grown disrupters.

By Aaron Kasinitz | email@example.com
Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome has a habit of stockpiling draft picks and masterminding shrewd moves to keep the team’s coffers full of young talent. This April, Baltimore made seven selections in the first four rounds of the NFL draft. In 2016, the Ravens drafted eight players before the start of the fifth round.
Newsome’s style of roster management has made the Ravens one of the most consistently competitive NFL franchises over the past two decades.
And it fosters intense competition for playing time and starting jobs each summer.
This year should be no different, as Baltimore looks ahead to the first full practice of training camp Thursday. Young players across the defense will be jockeying for position on the depth chart, while fresh faces will also aim to secure roles on the offensive line and in the receiving corps. Here’s a look at six position battles to keep an eye on:
Michael Crabtree,John Brown,Jaleel Scott,John Harbaugh

- Chris Moore
- Tim White
X-factor: The quarterback situation
Joe Flacco’s the starting quarterback for now, so it’ll be important for the new and returning receivers to build a report with the former Super Bowl MVP. Still, Baltimore made an investment in first-round draft choice Lamar Jackson, so if a wideout develops a strong connection with the rookie, it’ll help his chances of making the team and earning a large role.

It’s going to be an awesome night of music this Saturday at The Sunset Tavern in Ballard, with Audioasis’s resident DJ Hannah Levin hosting special musical guests People Eating People, Blood Red Dancers and D. Black! Plus, each month Audioasis chooses one local charity for proceeds to go to: This month, the Central District’s Forum for Arts & Ideas is spotlighted. For 10 years, the CD Forum has been challenging the definition of Black through their unique Performing Arts and Humanities series. Whether presenting and producing contemporary Black art or encouraging thought and debate around issues that affect our community in Seattle, CD Forum will challenge your assumptions about Black culture.
People Eating People are first on the bill (9:30pm), showcasing Nouela Johnston’s voice and a piano-rock presence you don’t often see. Check out the video below and you’ll know what I mean.
Then, Blood Red Dancers come at you (10:30) with some “dark-folk, junk-jazz, classic country, drinking, pretty girls, pretty girls drinking” kind of music. That’s their description not mine, but still, no way I’m missing that.
And of course, it’s gonna get heavy when D. Black takes the stage (11:30). One of Seattle youngest “conscious” rappers, Black’s 2009 release, Ali’hay, went to the top of a lot of people’s music recommends and it’ll be interesting to see what he drops for The Sunset on a Saturday night.
As always, doors open at 8:30pm and the show begins at 9pm. No kids allowed as The Sunset is 21+ and tickets can be found at Brown Paper Tickets.
Net proceeds benefit CD Forum and major funding for Audioasis comes from New Belgium Brewing Company. Additional support for Audioasis comes from the City of Seattle: Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, Washington State Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Snakebite kills 45,000 people annually in India - mostly simple village folk. Anjali Health Center (Pithora, Chhattisgarh) & Divya Chhaya Hospital (Subir, Gujarat) are very small primary level hospitals supporting over 6000 economically vulnerable tribal families. These hospitals treat more than 200 snakebite patients every year. TIES is providing them with adequate supplies of Anti Snake Venom (ASV), medical supplies for wound management, and snakebite management training for staff.
90% of rural India comprises tribal communities engaged in farming and fatal encounters with snakes are common. Local hospitals lack stock of ASV and/or personnel trained to handle snakebite cases. Lack of awareness about the medical consequences of envenomation also delays medical treatment. Lack of current data regarding snakes and snakebite occurrences makes this a low priority issue in administrative circles despite Million Death Study showing 45000 people die every year due to snakebite.
The project will provide hospitals with a regular flow of ASV, medical supplies, life-support equipment, trainings on snakebite treatment and snake identification. Snakebite treatment experts in major cities have made themselves available over phone 24x7 to consult on complicated cases. Awareness campaigns by snake rescuers in community spaces around Pithora and Subir will educate villagers on snake behavior, simple measures to prevent snakebite and proper First Aid practices in case of a bite.
This project will save more than 100 lives every year in each of these two hospitals. 500 more lives will be impacted through awareness workshops and training sessions. The informal national level volunteer group responding to snake rescue calls has already mapped 5500 instances of human-snake conflict using a specially designed mobile app. Snakebite mapping is set to being in 2019. Data so generated will help clinicians and scientists understand snakebite dynamics across seasons and geography.

I wanted to introduce my little fighter Olyvia Jade. Lets start from the beginning, 3 years ago! Olyvia has not had an easy life. She was born on feb. 20th, 2014. She was born at University of Colorado hospital at 28 weeks gestation and only weighed 1lb 7oz! She fought very hard and we were released after 117 days in the NICU. She has down syndrome and 50% of kids with DS have a heart defect. Her heart defect was called AVSD (a hole in her heart) she had her first open heart surgery in Oct. 2014. She rocked it! She was then diagnosis with Pulmonary vein stenosis in all 4 of her main veins (narrowing veins that run from the lungs to her heart). This news was very devastating, it is pretty much a death sentence and can never be cured. Children's hospital of Colorado told us to make her comfortable and that there was nothing more they can do for her. So of course I wasn't going to give up on her that easy, I did a lot of research and found that Boston Children's had a specialist that could hopefully help Olyvia. We flew out to Boston in July 2015 (I was also 24 weeks pregnant with her Brother Lyncoln). They performed her second open heart surgery (way more intense and critical than her first). It was a very long and emotional 8 hour surgery! she went back to the ICU with her chest wide open just in case they had to get in there quickly. How many parents can say they saw there child's heart beating from the inside? We stayed a long 21 days at that hospital. She left there on a medication called Gleevec (a chemo drug) this medication is supposed to stop the growth of the disease in her veins. She was on that nasty medicine for a year! But you know what... her veins are now WIDE open! She is truly a miracle! (Well three of them, during her second OHS they actually had to sow her top right vein to one of the other veins because it was fully closed.)
We thought all of her medical problems were starting to get resolved. Then back in April 2016 Olyvia under went a sedated echo to check her veins (gets them every 6 weeks) her heart rate jumped to 305bpm! They immediately woke her up and called and said we need to get to the ICU asap. They said they were going to cardiovert her (use the paddles and try and shock her back to normal sinus rhythm). They put her back under and started to shock her, her heart got really tired and stop beating! They then began to do chest compressions to bring her back. She was gone for over 2 minutes, but they were able to bring her back. She was then diagnosed with atrial flutter. From March 21st to October 7th 2016 she has been flown flight for life to Children's FOUR times because of her flutter and multiple infections! The first time her heart rate was back up to 300 and the doctors decided to put in a loop recorder (a small device that reads when her heart stops and/or when her heart beats way to fast and sends the information back to Children's). She was released fairly quickly and we were sent back home. She then started to get a fever and her chest looked like it had a golf ball in it. We were then flown back over the mountain and they took out the loop recorder and her chest was covered in a staph infection! At that time they were talking about a pacemaker but wanted to wait until she got bigger. She only weighed about 18lbs at 2 years old. We were doing pretty good at home, then we check her heart rate on our home pulse ox (which we check daily) and it showed her heart was beating 167bpm. Some of her chambers were double that! We then got flight for lifed the third time on August 7th. They decided to put a pacemaker in this time to help control her rate. They had to open her chest for the third time. The doctors put the pacemaker in her stomach. We were released in 2 days to the Ronald McDonald house to wait for her follow up appointment. Well on the second day of her being released she started to have a high fever again and her stomach was bulging again. We took her to the ER and they determined she had a hernia under where her pacemaker was placed. So they did emergency surgery that night. They didn't take out her pacemaker at that time. The doctors fought with us and wanted to try and save the pacemaker. Well she was still hospitalized with "big boy" antibiotics. She wasn't getting any better, so they decided to take out the infected pacemaker. (Thank God they did because her heart was very close to getting infected). Her chest then had to be opened for the fourth time! She had three major surgeries all within one week! She was hospitalized for 3 weeks not able to leave her room at all because she was on quarantine. I talked them in to releasing us to the Ronald McDonald house with the wound vac (she was the youngest under 17 to be released with a wound vac). The Fourth time was for another infection in her chest where they cut her open. The tissue wasn't healing on the inside even though it was completely closed for over a month. We stayed for two more weeks at that time. She was cardioverted again on Oct. 20th (my birthday). She handled it very well and got control of her heart rate.
Back in December we had a follow up with all of her doctors. The echo found a new heart problem. This makes 4 congenital heart defects. She has a leaky AV valve and her pulmonary hypertension is getting worse again. Her pressures are up to 50. So they started her on another med and they will be watching her valve closely. She may need another open heart surgery again.
Olyvia just had another pacemaker placed (3/7/17) she also She has severe sleep apnea, she will have surgery on (3/13/17) to take her tonsils and adenoids taken out and will be staying at At Children's hospital In Denver for 3 weeks.
Thank you all so much for taking your time to read this and for your generosity!
With our love,
Kimber, Micah, and Olyvia

I cook with a lot of beans. When I first started my plant-based journey, I used beans as a primary meat replacement for protein. I could do everything from make burgers to smoothies (yes, I make a delicious bean smoothie that doesn’t taste like it contains any beans). So if you found nothing else in my kitchen, you found a LOT of beans.
In the beginning (because I can be a food snob), I only used dried beans. That means prep time was a beast. I had to soak them overnight (who wants all that gas inside their body?), before cooking them and freezing them in bags for individual recipes. To say that this process was tedious is an understatement. But I had the time at that time so I didn’t worry too much about it.
When I founded Habibi Sport, everything changed. Not only did I lose that time, I also started building a roster of clients who were not interested in all that prep time. I realized that in order to make the nutrition programs practical, I’d have to shorten the prep time. So I turned to canned beans. Initially I was hesitant because I had it in my head that canned (cooked) beans were not as healthy as me doing it from scratch. But I quickly found out that this is not the case. Plus, because the beans have chilling in their own juice until you crack the can, that gas factor is a non-issue!
I will still go back to dried beans when I have the time, but most of my recipes now call for cans vs. cups of beans as the listed ingredient. It makes things easy, saves a ton of time, and you still get all the benefits of incorporating beans into your daily nutrition. I love both and will continue to go back and forth as needed, but if you’re looking to save time and still make the most of your meals, canned beans is the way to go.

Car accident during family's Disney vacation kills both parents
A dream Disney vacation has turned into a tragedy for one Missouri family visiting Florida.
According to KSDK, the Moyers were involved in a car crash on Sunday which has resulted in the deaths of parents Greg and Sarah.
Both adults reportedly died at the scene while their daughters, a 13-year old and an 8-year old, were taken to a hospital with serious and critical injuries, respectively.
See images of the family:
Police have said the accident occurred when another vehicle drifted into the family's car, causing them to veer off the road and hit a tree.
The Orlando Sentinel quotes a family friend as saying, "The girls don't know what happened to [their parents] yet. Everyone is on their way down there and that's when they'll tell them. It's just devastating."
Greg, a muffler shop owner, and Sarah, a McDonald's manager, had reportedly saved for months to take their daughters on the Florida vacation which included Disney World and Universal Studios; they were headed to the beach at the time of the accident.
Meanwhile, the driver of the other car escaped with no injuries; an investigation is ongoing.

I am currently obsessed with Pokemon Go. To be honest I didn't think I would like it. But after weeks and weeks of my daughter begging me to play it with her, I finally downloaded it. I then quickly became hooked.
The best part is playing it with my daughter. It's a game that gets kids to go outside rather than sitting in front of a television. Every weekend we go to a different PokeStop and hunt for rare Pokemon. After we get home my daughter and I share our newest Pokemon. It was difficult at first, but I got the hang of it and even caught some rare Pokemon!

My attempt at trying to catch a Pokemon.
“ My daughter & I share our new and rare Pokemon.”
Pokemon Go is my go to game.
She was so proud when she caught a Clefairy.
Going on a bike ride to get fresh air and to stop at PokeStops.
I love our daily walks around the neighborhood in search for rare Pokemon.
I took this photo before the Comic Con madness began. I arrived at the convention a day early in order to pick up my tickets. This is the first official Comic Con banner I saw when walking up to the San Diego Convention Center. I had to snap a photo to remember the moment.
Since Hollywood is running out of original ideas, I've heard rumors that they're thinking of making a live action version of Fortnite...is this a good idea or bad? The fan in me would LOVE to see one but Hollywood doesn't have a good track record of adapting movies from video games.
