Hillary Brooke (September 8, 1914 â€“ May 25, 1999), was an American film actress best known for her work in Abbott and Costello and Sherlock Holmes films. She also played Lou Costello's love interest in the first season of the Abbott and Costello Show.
A former model, the tall (5'6") blonde was born in Astoria, New York but spoke with a cultured accent. Brooke developed this early in her career to separate herself from other sexy blonde actresses.
She appeared in Africa Screams (1949) and Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952) with the comedy team, and was a regular on The Abbott and Costello Show. She also co-starred in three Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, including The Woman in Green (1945).
Her other film credits include Jane Eyre (1944); the Alfred Hitchcock thriller, The Man Who Knew Too Much; the 3D film The Maze; and the 1953 sci-fi B-movie classic Invaders from Mars.

The Man Who Knew Too Much is a 1956 suspense film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring James Stewart and Doris Day. It is a remake in widescreen VistaVision and Technicolor of Hitchcock's 1934 film of the same name. In the newer version, one of the most financially successful films of its year of release, Brenda De Banzie and Bernard Miles play an apparently benign British married couple, Christopher Olsen plays the son of Day and Stewart and Reggie Nalder and Daniel GÃ©lin are featured as assassins.
In the book-length interview, Hitchcock/Truffaut (1967), Hitchcock told fellow filmmaker FranÃ§ois Truffaut that he considered his 1956 remake to be superior, saying that the 1934 version was the work of a talented amateur, the 1956 version the work of a professional.
The film won an Academy Award for Best Song for "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)," sung by Doris Day at several points in the action.

The House Across the Lake is a 1954 British film released in the U.S. as Heat Wave. The film noir drama stars Alex Nicol and Hillary Brooke. An American pulp novelist, Mark Kendrick (Nicol), meets his rich neighbors across the lake and is soon seduced by beautiful blonde Carol (Brooke), the wife of the older Forrest (James). Forrest is badly injured when his boat has an accident in the fog, and Carol throws him overboard. After first refusing to go along with her attempt to call it an accident, Kendrick agrees when they plan to meet in a month's time and live off her dead husband's money. But when the coroner calls the death an accident, she secretly marries another old flame three weeks later and changes residences. When Kendrick finds out about the betrayal he angrily confronts her and she sneers at him that she only used him and that there's nothing he could do about it. Mark confesses, knowing that doing so would only mean a prison sentence for him. ...,
Invaders from Mars is a 1953 science fiction film. It was directed by William Cameron Menzies and stars Jimmy Hunt and Leif Erickson.
It is notable for its child's point of view as well as for its vivid color cinematography (color by Color Corporation of America). It is also notable for its surreal set designs and unique use of bizarre sound effects, including the use of multiple voices "singing" to indicate the ground opening up for the Martians. These elements put this film a notch above most other low budget science fiction films of the era and has since become a cult classic.
There was a 1986 remake using the same title. It was directed by Tobe Hooper and starred Karen Black.
One night, a small boy, David MacLean (Jimmy Hunt), sees a meteorite land near his home. His scientist father (Leif Erickson) goes to investigate; when he returns, there is an unusual mark on the back of his neck and he behaves in a different, sinister manner. Gradually, David realizes that there is a...
Ministry of Fear is a 1944 film noir directed by Fritz Lang based on the novel 'The Ministry of Fear by Graham Greene. The film tells the story of a man who finds himself caught up in an international spy ring, in London during the Blitz. It all starts after he guesses the weight of a cake at a fair and ends up becoming the owner of secret microfilm hidden inside. The original music for the film was composed by MiklÃ³s RÃ³zsa and Victor Young.
Judd Blaise, writing for All Movie Guide, states "While it does not reach the same level of timeless classic as Carol Reed's adaptation of Greene's The Third Man four years later, Ministry of Fear stands as a well-made, thoroughly gripping and intelligent example of film noir." ...,

Anise Hyssop is a wonderful perennial herb in zones 4-9. It is beautiful in the garden, wonderful as a food or herbal remedy, and it greatly benefits the honeybee population. My local beekeeper (www.lieberhoney.com) says they just LOVE it!
So if you’d like to grow your own anise hyssop, there’s a nifty article at the end of this post from the Juice Plus+ folks that gives easy instructions. It’s a hardy plant, and worth the small effort it takes to start it.
And if you need a little encouragement, here’s a list of all the wonderful ways to use this beautiful herb:
- Food – lovely as a garnish and delicious in salad
- Tea – adds a black licorice flavor to an herbal tea blend, and it’s an expectorant, making it ideal for treating a cold
- Cordial – a traditional ingredient in absinthe
- Relaxation – calming as an infusion in the bath
- Aromatherapy – encourages pleasant dreams

My name is Alexis Namulinda. I am a sophomore at Haverhill High School. I want to talk about: Communication between students and adults in school.
Students must be listened to with genuine ears. Without this, we may feel safe but we cannot feel supported. Establishing an effective and efficient line of communication between students and adults, requires genuine listening and understanding. And it also requires genuine action. I know my teachers are well intentioned when listening to my concerns, but when they don’t understand or know my experiences, student voice – my voice – becomes endangered. The effects of this failure to genuinely understand students falls particularly hard onto marginalized students–Black, Indigenous, and people of color (or BIPOC) and LGBTQ students—at my school.
“SAFE” does not mean the same thing to the adults in our building that it does to our students. Teachers and administration must understand our needs as students and as people in order to help us feel safe and supported. We need more accessible mental health support – especially in the return from a highly stressful global pandemic. In student council, we reviewed evidence showing that mental health resources (improve school environment). But instead of investing in mental health supports, my school invested in additional security guards. In student council, I noted that there is no evidence to support that adding security guards enhances school safety. The reality is: En route to class, My friends and I have been repeatedly followed by security guards for no valid reason. How can I feel safe or supported in an environment where I am not listened to when I share that I feel criminalized because of the color of my skin?
At MY school, the growing pressure that BIPOC students face has exploded like a volcano – ultimately resulting in a protest this February. BIPOC students need a space to be listened to, so that we can feel valued as people in the school community. When we bring up BIPOC events and issues in student council and they’re , this exacerbates the feeling that BIPOC students as a community are not valued. Because of the dissatisfaction with administration and the lack of genuine listening and understanding, the weight of solving community problems has fallen onto BIPOC students. But it shouldn’t just be on us. We need support from all corners of our school – especially administration.
If we, students, were to ask the school to build a bridge, they only build half of the bridge. Then, it becomes easy to say, “we built you a bridge, it is functional, and so we don’t need to have further conversations about this topic.” But no one–neither students, nor teachers–-can go over half of a bridge.
Funding Safe and Supportive Schools is investing in student voice. At Haverhill High, it will fund the Student Voice Advocacy project (SVA) – which facilitates student forums and provides a platform for students to share their perspectives on issues in our community. With additional funding, we can significantly expand SVA’s capacity to amplify student voice at our school. This—student voice—is the heart of Safe and Supportive Schools. When discussions happen amongst administrators about how to address these problems, students MUST be involved. This is not just asking one student to be in the room when the conversations happen. I am often this student. It’s not fair for me to bear this weight, and it’s not fair for my peers to be excluded. We need to involve the whole student community. We need a whole bridge.
“How can I feel safe or supported in an environment where I am not listened to when I share that I feel criminalized because of the color of my skin? ”
“Students must be listened to with genuine ears. Without this, we may feel safe but we cannot feel supported. Establishing an effective and efficient line of communication between students and adults, requires genuine listening and understanding. And it also requires genuine action.”
“SAFE” does not mean the same thing to the adults in our building that it does to our students.”

The Total Patient Revenue System (“TPR”) is a revenue constraint system developed by the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission to provide hospitals with a financial incentive to manage their resources efficiently and effectively in order to slow the rate of increase in the cost of health care. The TPR also is consistent with the hospital’s mission to provide the highest value of care possible to the community it serves.
This methodology is available to sole community provider hospitals, and hospitals operating in regions of the State characterized by an absence of densely overlapping services areas. The HSCRC staff reserves the right to exclude any hospital from eligibility for the TPR if it determines that the hospital’s service area characteristics are not conducive to successful implementation and operation of this methodology.
The basic concept embodied in the TPR is the assurance of a certain amount of revenue each year, independent of the number of patients treated and the amount of services provided to these patients. The hospital, therefore, has the incentive to reduce length of stay, ancillary testing, unnecessary admissions and readmissions, as well as improve efficiency in the provision of services while treating patients in a manner consistent with appropriate, high quality medical care.
Ten acute care hospitals participate in the TRP rate setting methodology. One hospital, Garrett County Memorial Hospital has been on this system for over twenty years. A second hospital, The Edward W. McCready Memorial Hospital, transitioned to the TPR methodology in FY 2008. The remaining eight hospitals adopted the TPR rate setting Methodology for FY 2011.

"Ah'm sick ay that new Elvis Costello, bit ah cannae stoap playing [him]," says a junkie drug-dealer at the start of Irvine Welsh's novel Trainspotting. "Fucking magic man, ah'm telling you."
That's the way it is with Costello, who has always been able to write songs that go straight into the bloodstream. But until recently his mind was on other gigs. His adventures with string quartets and Burt Bacharach left a lonely ache with those still hooked on his biting three-minute singles.
Their cravings were answered last month, with the release of When I Was Cruel ("first loud album since '94!" said the blurbs), and on Wednesday, when the magic man himself appeared at Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre. The fans happily renewed their addiction.
The show sketched a rollicking portrait of Costello then and now, with a three-piece band that was the old Attractions but for one member (bassist Bruce Thomas, replaced by Davey Faragher). Costello and friends (the others were Steve Nieve on keyboards and Pete Thomas on drums) performed eight songs from the new disc and about a dozen from 1980 or earlier, when the chief Impostor was still skinny and spiteful.
The spite hasn't completely dissipated, as he showed during a couple of tart-tongued introductions to new songs. But the subversive thrills of a number such as "Radio, Radio" are a bit muted now, with classic status descending on it, and Costello back on the radio himself.
Many of the old songs sounded nearly as fresh as the day they were made. The impatience of long familiarity showed itself a few times, in a hurried version of "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea," and in a performance of "Watching the Detectives," in which Costello either lost his place in the lyrics or made a game of pretending to do so.
Several of the new songs opened out handsomely in live performance, which more than made up for the canned horns on numbers such as "15 Petals." Nieve's keyboards were a constant source of changing colours, and toward the end of the show he hauled out a Theremin to get spooky on the new single, "Tear Off Your Own Head (It's a Doll Revolution)." "Clown Strike," one of the few songs from the nineties, strayed outside the crisp new-wave style of the rest of the show, with a finger-snapping beat and a brief aphoristic fantasia on the line "because I love you."
It's a measure of Costello's craft, and the relative timelessness of his best material, that old and new could mix together so easily. All the virtues of his early music — the sharp wordplay, the inventive melodic lines and the propulsive harmonies — are still at work today.
Several numbers segued straight into others, to electrifying effect. Two hours after the first chords, the tunes were still pouring out. Costello has always been generous in performance, which makes it hard to understand why he tours so little. Too busy, perhaps.
Joe Henry opened the show with a monotonous solo set that hid the merits of his sometimes intriguing songwriting. He might have done himself better service by staying home.

text: All thoughts welcome and appreciated I have been playing with a TT Graphite OS for past 3 years - strung at 59 with Gamma LW XP 16. I'm a 4.5 player focusing mostly on doubs. I have no problem generating power or spin. I am striking the ball well but am looking for something comparable but with a little more feel and better maneuravibility at the net. Definately don't need a frame to generate more power. I have tried the 03 White and Tour but cannot keep the ball in play consistently enough with either of these frames. I have only played with Prince in the past but am willing to play with whatever frame plays the best.

A 10-months-old cross long hair cat named Casper with clinical symptom of vomiting mixed with slimy cat feed was referred to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Bogor Agricultural University to endoscopy examination and therapy. The owner believed that Casper ate a 5 cm long sewing needle a few days earlier. The history and physical examination were examined at DNA Clinic with symptoms of lack of appetite and becoming quieter and calmer. Radiogram showed the needle was in thorax area with a vertical needle penetrating the esophageal wall. Removal of the needle and observation of the esophagus area were done using endoscopy under general anesthesia. Using endoscopy, it was known that the needle was swallowed along with the sewing thread with position of all needles penetrating the esophagus wall and leaving a small amount of thread on the lumen. The needle was pulled back to the esophageal lumen by pulling the remaining thread and then both needle and the thread were pulled back out using an alligator grasping forceps that used through working channel. Therapy given after endoscopy was antibiotics and anti-emetics.

The Project began by discarding any pre-conceived notion of what the solution could be and instead aimed to uncover as much knowledge as possible by immersing myself in the amputee community. Academic research was conducted to understand existing technology, biomechanics, biomimicry, recovery process, medical interventions, advancements and prosthetics. Alongside academic research a focus group of 21 amputee motorcycle riders from around the world was brought together to inform, guide, and provide insight into the life of an amputee motorcyclist. The 21 individuals were the heart and soul of the project and provided guidance for my design practice. A prominent design figure in the field of prosthetics was interviewed and used as a springboard to understand the role design must play in developing solutions for amputees.
Along side academic methods a tactile approach was taken to understand every little movement and interaction a motorcyclists has while riding. Body storming by riding motorcycles in controlled conditions while filming allowed me to document motorcycle-rider interactions and create a product design specification in preparation for concepting. Classic design methods such as journey mapping, interviews, ethnography were all implemented to leave no stone unturned. Once all this knowledge was condensed, sketching, rapid prototyping, writing code, and working with electronics all started to build the framework for how the leg would function. An iterative approach was taken, a design concept would be drawn, rapidly prototyped, and then tested. Kinks were ironed out and then the next iteration would replace it. Every iteration was presented to the focus group and improved upon until a final working prototype met not only the brief, but the focus groups vision for what a solution should be.

Philosophers don't just make claims, they give arguments.
Does the existence of evil call into doubt the existence of God? Show me the argument.
Will living a just life lead to happiness? Show me the argument.
Philosophy starts with questions, but attempts at answers are just as important, and these answers require reasoned argument. Cutting through notoriously dense and verbose philosophical prose, the authors set 100 famous and influential arguments in context, including key quotations, to explain the original style and approach. Each argument is laid bare in its essential form, with premises and conclusions plainly identified and the form of argument specified.
Designed to offer a quick and compact reference to everything from Aquinas' Five Ways to prove the existence of God to the metaphysical possibilities of zombie minds, Just the Arguments is an invaluable one–stop argument shop. Michael Bruce currently researches in the history of philosophy. He has taught philosophy and mathematics courses at the University of Washington’s Robinson Center for Young Scholars. Steven Barbone is Associate Professor of Philosophy at San Diego State University.

“An invaluable tool for students–or anyone interested in philosophy– Just the Arguments distills the most important arguments from the Western philosophical tradition into concise and lucid prose. The editors should be commended for providing such an action–packed resource; it's highly recommended!” (Fritz Allhoff, Western Michigan University)
I think this is a fantastic book for getting the basic philosophical ideas and arguments out there and on the table for discussion. I wish I had this book when I was in college. The problem with the Audible edition is that you really need to see the arguments on paper and read them a couple of times. There is just to much philosophy there for a causal listening. I bought the Kindle version too and I am very happy with that.
This really is just a reference book for introductory philosophy courses, and it did not translate well at all to the audio format. I'm sure the actual content is of good quality, but it is NOT for the armchair philosopher. As the narrator listed off each component of each argument, it was very difficult to keep track of what was being said. I'm sure reading it would have been better, but again, this isn't a book for readers who just want to know more about the 100 best arguments. It's for people who need to know how the arguments are technically structured.
I enjoyed the parts that flowed like a story, but the ones that were in premises and conclusions format were too boring. Overall, the book was difficult to understand for someone who took philosophy classes too long ago. I would need a refresher introductory course to be able to follow the reading, I guess. In addition, this is not the kind of book to listen while you're driving, although I chose an audiobook because I spend a considerable amount of time commuting. For all these reasons, I am trying to return it.
Return the book and take an introductory philosophy class.
Retired Political Science professor from a community college. Especially like Legal Thrillers.
I like philosophy and was really looking forward to this book. I especially wanted to see which arguments were selected. However, I found that the arguments were presented in too technical a manner. The syllogistic reasoning is too difficult to understand at the pace of the reader's presentation. One reviewer suggested that a printed version would be better. I agree, but feel that even a written version would be too deep for the non-philosophy major. I was wasting my time so I stopped half way through the work.

How long does a dislocated shoulder or labral tear take to recover from?
If the shoulder comes out of the socket (dislocates), the ligaments and labrum will stretch or tear. In patients <25 years old, there is a 70-90% risk that the shoulder will dislocate again. In those over 40 years of age, the risk of more dislocations is uncommon. Everyone else is somewhere in between.
A labral tear, particularly one called a SLAP tear, can also occur from repetitive overuse. This occurs in people that perform a lot of overhead activities such as pitching, throwing, tennis, etc. Surgery to repair the ligaments and labrum is performed arthroscopically. Physical therapy closely supervised by an orthopedic shoulder surgeon is required and it can take up to 4-6 months to resume overhead sports.

stop loss orders, traders can still make a profit even if they do not win the majority of their trades. There are of course some similarities between binary trading and forex trading. Both financial trading markets are tradable online, and they both allow users to start trading with small amounts of capital.
In both types of markets, users are speculating on which direction an asset moves in. In the case of guessing correctly, both trading options provide strong profit potential. However, there are some differences between binary options and forex. In a binary market, traders only guess whether an asset, such as a foreign currency, will go up or down in value over a fixed period of time.
In this sense, there is no variability in the risk or in the profit potential. The binary market is named after the binary system, in which the only two input options are 1 or 0.
Similarly, in binary trading, the only two options are up and down. Forex markets offer higher variability and more risk for traders. In forex markets, sometimes known as FX markets or currency markets, traders must decide not only in which direction as asset will go, but must also predict how high or low that asset goes. Thus, the ultimate risk and profit is unknown. In forex, there are no limits to how much money a trader can make or lose, unless they use certain tools to control trading.
One tool is a stop loss, which prevents traders from losing more than a certain amount. In other words, once the trader has lost a certain amount, the trade automatically closes. Similarly, the potential reward may also be fixed beforehand.
The trader can decide that he wants the trade to close once it has reached a certain profit value. The maximum loss in forex would be all the money on your trading account.
Binary trades operate on specific timelines. The trader has no control over when a trade begins or ends once a trade has started. Before a binary options trade begins, users must select when the order expires. Also, choose the best time to trade. So be careful and select the desired amount.
Forex trading consists of sizes like mini, micro, and nano, etc. Click the call or put option by your imagination of whether the asset value rises or falls. Many brokers give an option as a chance to check and confirm if the given details are correct before the trade is confirmed. Try hard till you know to calculate and win. Keep learning until you are confident. If you want to achieve in binary trading, be patient until you can identify the strategies.

Binary options are an alternative way to play the foreign currency forex market for traders. Although they are a relatively expensive way to trade forex compared with the leveraged spot forex trading offered by a growing number of brokers , the fact that the maximum potential loss is capped and known in advance is a major advantage of binary options.
This settlement value depends on whether the price of the asset underlying the binary option is trading above or below the strike price by expiration. Will this week's jobless claims be higher than the market expects? Or will the euro or yen decline against the U. dollar today? For the buyer of a binary option, the cost is the price at which the option is trading. For the seller of a binary option, the cost is the difference between and the option price and Therefore, the higher the binary option price, the greater the perceived probability of the asset price rising above the strike.
All binary option contracts are fully collateralized , which means that both sides of a specific contract — the buyer and seller — have to put up capital for their side of the trade.
Thus the risk-reward profile for the buyer and seller in this instance can be stated as follows:. Binary options in forex are available from exchanges such as Nadex , which offers them on the most popular pairs such as USD-CAD, EUR-USD, and USD-JPY, as well as on a number of other widely-traded currency pairs.
Founded in , the North American Derivatives Exchange—or Nadex—is a Chicago-based financial exchange that specializes in short-term binary options and spreads. The company is a subsidiary of London's IG Group LON: IGG and is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission CFTC.
Binary options are legal and available to trade in the U. Nadex binary options are offered with expirations ranging from intraday to daily and weekly. The minimum tick size on spot forex binaries from Nadex is 0. The intraday forex binary options offered by Nadex expire hourly and as often as every five minutes, while the daily ones expire at certain set times throughout the day. The weekly binary options expire at 3 P. on Friday. For most forex contracts, Nadex calculates the expiration value by taking the midpoint prices of the last ten trades in the forex market , eliminates the highest and lowest three prices, and then takes the arithmetic average of the remaining four prices.
We use a weekly option that will expire at 3 P. on Friday, or four days from now or Monday. Consider the following scenarios:. You believe the euro is unlikely to weaken by Friday and should stay above 1.
on Friday, the euro is trading at USD 1. However, if the euro had closed below 1. You are bearish on the euro and believe it could decline by Friday, say to USD 1. Since you are bearish on the euro, you would sell this option. What if the euro had closed below 1. You do not have to wait until contract expiration to realize a gain on your binary option contract.
For instance, let's say by Thursday the euro is trading in the spot market at 1. economic data to be released on Friday are very positive. Assume your view is that volatility in the yen — trading at Three possible scenarios arise by option expiration at 3 P. on Friday:. Binary options are a useful tool as part of a comprehensive forex trading strategy but have a couple of drawbacks in that the upside is limited even if the asset price spikes up, and a binary option is a derivative product with a finite lifespan time to expiration.
However, binary options have a number of advantages that make them especially useful in the volatile world of forex. For starters, the risk is limited even if the asset prices spikes up , the collateral required is quite low, and they can be used even in flat markets that are not volatile.
These advantages make forex binary options worthy of consideration for the experienced currency trader. Advanced Concepts. Options and Derivatives. Company News Markets News Cryptocurrency News Personal Finance News Economic News Government News.

DAVID L. WEAVER-ZERCHER. Martyrs Mirror: A Social History. Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press, 2016. Pp. 440. $49.95 (U.S.)
David Weaver-Zercher completed an impressive undertaking in writing Martyrs Mirror: A Social History: a three-part book detailing Anabaptist history and the significance of a book dedicated to describing the stories of martyrs from the crucifixion of Jesus until the seventeenth century. Weaver-Zercher laid an important foundation in detailing the historical context of the sixteenth century, which led to the emergence of a new group within Christianity, the Anabaptists. Born out of the Protestant Reformation, Anabaptists hoped to take reforms further with core tenants being adult baptism and a stance of nonresistance. And the community paid a price for these seemingly heretical beliefs. They were “condemned by Protestants and Catholics alike” and “suffered a level of judicial persecution that outpaced the persecution of all other religious groups in sixteenth-century Europe” (16). Pointing to the persistence of persecution, Weaver-Zercher cites data that the number of Anabaptists persecuted represented ten percent of all Christians executed within the first five years of the movement (17).
Thieleman van Braght produced the first edition of the Martyrs Mirror in the Netherlands in 1660, a time when persecution among Dutch Anabaptists had dwindled and the community enjoyed more wealth and social prestige. Van Braght wanted to remind his fellow members of their humble beginnings. Numerous reprints, revisions, and translations of this beloved book ensued, cementing the importance of historical memory within the Anabaptist community.
A treasure trove of information and knowledge fills the pages of Martyrs Mirror: A Social History. A novice in Anabaptist history and tradition can read this book and come away with an understanding of the chronology of a movement bred by a few “radical” people who wanted to take the life and teachings of Jesus seriously. Weaver-Zercher painstakingly combed through primary sources producing a detailed historiography. The first two parts of the book resemble a typical text one might find in a college history classroom. Certainly, not everyone has the appetite for reading two hundred pages of historical records. Indeed, even people who have a love and appreciation for history can at times become overwhelmed as a result of the sheer of amount information contained with the pages. Additionally, the first two parts may be redundant for someone well versed in Anabaptist history. For those who find themselves in this camp, skim the historiography but recognize the potential of learning new information. Weaver-Zercher deserves credit for the time and effort spent on putting together a concise timeline of five centuries of material, as evident by the excellent notes and citations found at the end of the book.
While the historiography does not necessarily contribute anything new for Anabaptist scholarship, the last section of the book, “Contemporary Approaches to Martyrs Mirror,” adds new and exciting knowledge. Academics and lay people alike will find the contents valuable as Anabaptists continually wrestle with tension of honoring tradition in the midst of continual assimilation into broader culture, more so by certain Anabaptist groups. In North America, the martyrology became “a history book, an instruction manual, an heirloom, and an icon” (146). The first-hand accounts of men and women in recent centuries, particularly tradition-minded Anabaptists, growing up with the Martyrs Mirror add a special significance in the book. This section recognizes the effect and power of a book detailing martyrdom in Medieval Europe in the twenty-first century. Contemporary descendants of the Anabaptists identify themes from the Martyrs Mirror and discuss their relevance today. For example, the stance of nonresistance found throughout the martyrology intersects with of one of the main pillars of Anabaptist theology today, raising questions about moves from traditional conscientious objection to war to increased participation in social activism. “The martyr memory might renew a ‘weary and uncertain people,’” Weaver-Zercher suggests (240). No doubt, the readership of the Martyrs Mirror declined over the centuries; however, to say it is no longer effective or relevant for Anabaptists today would be a falsehood, as Weaver-Zercher illustrates over and over again.
The importance of this book should not be lost on the Brethren in Christ Church, a denomination with theological ties to Anabaptism. How does the denomination honor the memory of the martyrs today? What can members learn from them and how do we apply these practical lessons in life? David Weaver-Zercher’s work points to the larger context of conversation happening within Anabaptists communities around the globe. Without a doubt, Anabaptist martyrdom shaped and formed the movement from the sixteenth century to the present, and will continually insert its influence into the future.

Well, perhaps not at the very beginning (I sewed a couple of bags and failed to make placemats earlier), but at the beginning of my quilting journey. So, here is my very first 'quilt'!
the mark in the top right is from candle-wax, can't seem to get it out whatever I try
It's technically a quilted table-runner, but it involved most of the principles of patchwork and quilting, so I think it counts. It's based on a 'Diary of a Quilter' tutorial. I saw her pictures and thought they were absolutely beautiful. Such pretty fabrics! I didn't have any fabrics that lovely around, but I did have some good solids left over from the failed placemat project (picked out to match our lounge cushions) so I gave it a go. And I've never looked back!

I loved the process of putting it together. One of my favourite things about quilting is the variety: choosing fabrics, choosing or designing a pattern, patchwork, quilting and then binding. Even if you're not enjoying one of the stages, the next is never far away :)
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed hand-sewing the binding on at the end. I originally tried to sew it on with the machine but broke a needle in the process (woops) so was forced into giving it a go. It was quite a relaxing process. Surprisingly the join (the most difficult part) went much better for me on this, my first attempt, than it did in later quilts. I've now however found a different binding tutorial which makes the process much neater, thank goodness!
So that's where my quilting adventures began. Since then I've made a few more quilts (proper quilt quilts, rather than just table-runners) which will be popping up here sometime soon.
Bye for now!


Paramus, N.J.-based workplace services company Nuvolo has forged a collaboration with Mayo Clinic to offer Industry-Leading Standards, which will bring enhancements to Nuvolo’s existing Operational Technology (OT) Security solution.
Nuvolo OT Security with Industry-Leading Standards will help healthcare and other OT-intensive industries address the growing challenge of cybersecurity threats to network-connected devices. These devices are increasingly exposed to security vulnerabilities and exploits, which can have substantial consequences for patient safety. The announcement comes after Mayo Clinic’s follow-on to Nuvolo’s recent Series C funding round.
“We are incredibly proud to collaborate with Mayo Clinic on these innovative Industry-Leading Standards for the implementation of OT device security procedures. This structured approach ensures that medical devices and healthcare facilities are equipped with what they need to meet organizational and security requirements throughout the OT device lifecycle,” says Nuvolo CEO Tom Stanford.
Nuvolo OT Security provides full device context using a single database. When a security threat or vulnerability occurs, Nuvolo OT Security uses this common data model to match, contextualize, and correlate these security events. It then orchestrates an automated response to generate work orders, dispatch technicians, and ensure rapid remediation.
Combining the solution’s capabilities with the innovation developed with Mayo Clinic will enable better OT device security throughout the entire lifecycle for every medical device and facilities system, Nuvolo officials say.

Let’s continue with the Amazing Teacher Pledge – a set of 10 promises that I believe all amazing teachers make.
To recap, here are the first five promises of the Amazing Teacher Pledge:
Here is Promise #6:
I promise to avoid negative teachers.
You might think this is a bit silly, but I can’t be more serious.
Most new teachers want to fit in with their new staff, department or team.
They go along, listening to what other more experienced teacher are saying, anxious to learn how to better to their job.
The danger is that these new teachers are often placed with the negative teachers in hopes that the high energy, eager-to-please, save-every-kid mentally of the new teacher will rub off on the negative teacher.
What happens most often, in my experience, is the exact opposite.
The new teacher is the one who transforms, and that is bad for everyone.
Amazing teachers avoid those negative teachers.
You know who I’m talking about. You probably already have someone in mind. Every school has at least one. Some schools have several, and you feel sorry for the students in their classes.
These are the teachers who complain about everything.
They spend their lunch time discussing how bad the school is run, how lazy their students are, how they aren’t getting paid enough, etc.
You know them.
They care more about their personal comfort than doing what’s best for students.
Avoid these teachers.
If you can’t avoid them, at least don’t agree with them when they start their rants.
Amazing teachers don’t CONFIRM the complaints of negative teachers, they COUNTER them.
Negative teacher: “That Mitchell, he is so lazy. He is going to end up dropping out of school. If he wasn’t in my class, I would be able to teach.”
Amazing teacher: “Mitchell is smart. I wonder if there is anything going on at home that might be causing the behavior. Let me talk to him.”
Unfortunately, new teachers, because they don’t want to make waves, will smile and nod. This is totally understandable. What is important is that we identify the negative teacher as someone who we cannot emulate. New teachers need to quickly identify negative teachers and make the decision to avoid them as much as possible.
Here’s a story that I heard of recently:
A young teacher was in a school serving as a long-term substitute while the actual teacher was on leave. Let’s call her Mary. After a while, Mary was becoming part of the school community, making friends and really impressing those around her with her enthusiasm and desire to do what’s best for kids. Unfortunately, she became Facebook friends with two negative teachers who started a conversation online complaining about administration. Regardless of whether their complaints were justified or not, it was an inappropriate conversation to have in such a public forum as Facebook. As the comments went back and forth, Mary began to join in, sharing her point of view, which was in agreement with the complaints. As expected, the administration learned about the Facebook conversation, including the opinions expressed by the young substitute, Mary. When Mary discovered that the conversation had been read by the school administration, she immediately went and apologized. Unfortunately, the damage had been done. At the end of the year, when there was an opening for a permanent teacher at that school, she was not hired. Other permanent positions in other schools in the district opened up, and she applied and interviewed. She did well, and impressed each interview panel. When it came time to check references, however, the Facebook conversation always came up, and she was not hired in the district. Luckily for Mary, she did finally get hired in a nearby district, and I’m sure she is being amazing in her new position.
True story. (Her name really isn’t Mary, however.)
You’re probably saying, “That wasn’t fair,” and I would agree, but this serves as a great example of how associating with negative teachers will lead to negative consequences.
I believe negative teachers are in the minority.
Unfortunately, they are a vocal and powerful minority.
One of the my goals with the Amazing Teacher Pledge is to make being amazing something so attractive that even negative teachers will want to come over to the amazing side of teaching.
Most negative teachers were amazing teachers once. They loved teaching and saw it as a calling. They had dreams of changing the world one student at a time. Something happened along the way that soured their teaching experience, and they went over to the dark side.
Let’s bring them back!
Until then, avoid these negative teachers.
There you have it, Promise #6 of the Amazing Teacher Pledge – Avoid Negative Teachers.
What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts about this promise. If you agree, please share using one of the share buttons below.
Until next time,

I work on site (if required and at extra cost) to give best result with minimum time.moreless
I'm an experienced industrial designer with engineering background and specialization in product styling and development. In my career I have worked on numerous projects with engineering and design studios involved in product research and development. It varied from designing small home products and gadgets, advanced composite furniture design, to designing very specific projects like interior of low floor trams, public transportation rail vehicles to yacht interiors...
Today I collaborate with many factories and various manufacturers not only in EU but also in China and south Asia. So I can offer you complete design service; from concept stage, sketching and object styling, 3D visualizations to building fully functional mockups and prototypes. I think future 'trends' in design can be found as a fusion of various technical and artistic disciplines, and design management. I tend to cover all that area.
Speaking about my prices and timetable for design phase, I can just roughly estimate it without researching more details about project. My philosophy is that I prefer quality over speed. I'd rather be honest from the start than annoy everyone with delays or worse still, rushing the process and designing a product that I'm not proud of.
... I found your case very interesting and inspiring, and I would definitely like to know more details about it. Looking forward to your feedback. Feel free to ask any additional info!


How do we choose to source fabrics? When looking at fabrics, they are readily available in the middle east and in a wide variety. This means we can get raw materials which is great. We get them through retail and wholesale markets as well as fabric mills. However as easy as it is to get a selected fabric, it is often not attainable once stock has run out. This is due to a mix of reasons:
This poses some serious quality issues in the market. We rely on continued quality and availability. So how do we choose to source fabrics, while overcoming this obstacle?
What is your line of work and what tasks do you perform during the day in your workwear/uniform? Based on those tasks we get an idea of how utilitarian the work wear should be. As an example a stewardess has to be able to reach the upper compartments in a plane. But she still has to wear a nice and trendy. The uniform must not wrinkle and should be easy to maintain. The stewardess typically works 18 hour shifts so it should not be too thick to increase any body odour.
When looking at the needs of our clients a clear choice of colors, weave, pattern or prints are individually chosen. Those choices are based on the needs of the design and needed quality. If a design is super intricate then it is often better with high thread counts to make a pattern stand out much sharper. If the design requires high utility and durability it is often better to go with thicker thread types and lower thread counts. This results in less wear and tear in the fabric. The fabric could also be paired with elastane, to increase the comfort and flexibility of movement.
We custom design every piece to the needs of the clients. This could mean custom weave, print or embroidered patterns. It could even mean chemical treatment processes to the fabrics. Treatments could be anti microbial, to prevent bacteria spreading. This is often used in health care sector amongst many others. The custom fabrics we create also have to go through rigorous testing and standards. This aspect is super important to maintain durability and client requirements. These factors all work together and results in the branding being more on point when it comes to the final result. Initially investing in higher quality is more expensive. However when seen over the duration of a year or more, that cost is reduced by lack of need for reorders. We provide a 12 month guarantee on normal wear and tear on all our products.

To mark the special event of the 50th Anniversary of Kenmore State High School this year, the Student Leaders have decided to design their very own 50th Anniversary Time Capsule, which will be housed at the school, and will be re-opened 50 years’ time.
The plans for the Time Capsule were unveiled at the recent 2022 Kenmore State High School Open Day, where Principal Paul Robertson and Student Leaders were presented with a commemorative plaque by Dr Christian Rowan MP, State Member for Moggill, following a special ‘Through The Decades’ visual presentation for past and present students.
Dr Rowan said the special event was the latest in a number of celebrations that have been organised by the school, given the significance of the occasion for so many generations of the school’s teachers, students and staff.
“It has been wonderful to join so many past and present students, parents, teachers and school staff and celebrate 50 Years of academic, cultural and sporting excellence at Kenmore State High School.
“As the local State Member for Moggill and Shadow Minister for Education, it was terrific to also celebrate and attend the annual P&C Queensland P&C Day Luncheon, which coincided with the 50th anniversary celebrations, and was hosted by the students of Kenmore State High School.
“It was terrific to also see our local P&C members and volunteers from both Kenmore State High School and Moggill State School be formally recognised and celebrated at the P&C Day Awards.
“My congratulations to Principal Paul Robertson, and all Kenmore State High School students, families and staff for hosting these terrific celebrations, including a special 50th Anniversary School Assembly with former Principal Jeff Shepherd, as well as a fantastic Gala Dinner.”
Kenmore State High School is inviting suggestions from the community as to what should be included for the 50th Anniversary Time Capsule that best represents 2022.

The Waymancy Storm was a conflict that occurred in 7811 BBY when the Galactic Republic came into contact with the Waymancy Hollow, the government of the planet Waymancy. The Waymancy ships were equipped with energy weapons that were far more powerful and faster than any the Republic had access to, as they utilized incredibly efficient power generators designed by the group known as the Sisters of the Machinesmith, and the Waymancy warships easily destroyed the Republic ships. The Republic rocket-jumpers participated in the ensuing conflict, and the Waymancy Storm ended with a Republic victory. In the years after the conflict, the Republic reverse-engineered the Sif-Alulan process used to create the Waymancy weapons, and the Verpine Lyns Skutroo unveiled his modified squintpipe process to the galaxy several decades later.
Behind the scenesEdit
The Waymancy Storm was first mentioned in the 2009 role-playing guide Galaxy at War, under the entry for the Republic rocket-jumpers, and the 2012 reference guide The Essential Guide to Warfare gave further information on the conflict.

Train station under restoration to bring back its original luster
Dennis D. Heindl and the Ridgway community are collaborating to restore the historic train station located along North Broad Street in Ridgway. According to William Gentilman, Property Manager for the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad, Inc., the building was built the year 1907. “The station was built the last year the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad was in existence,” said Gentilman. “The line the station is on was a part of the Pennsylvania Railroad section that ran from Erie to St. Marys, and the track is still there.”The restoration of the building has been nearly 20 years in the making. “We are pleased we were able to come to an agreement with everyone,” Gentilman said. “We would have been forced to tear it down, and it probably would have been gone by now if the Heindls wouldn’t have come forward.”The initiative was made by Dennis Heindl who approached Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad, Inc. officials with the seeds for an agreement in an effort to save the landmark welcoming visitors to Ridgway. “The borough had filed charges against the railroad because of the condition it was in. As a rebuttal, they were not going to fix it, but decided to tear it down,” Heindl said. “Personally, I couldn’t see that happening because it would be an awful thing to lose it. There were a lot of personal things that got in the way of getting this settled. After 19 years of arguing between the borough and the railroad, I thought I would step up to the plate and maybe get this thing settled.”Heindl donated $50,000 to jumpstart the operation to restore the building, and a campaign to raise funds to put in an escrow account will begin at the first of the year. Those wishing to make a donation can be made to the Ridgway Borough c/o old train station 108 Main St., Ridgway, Pa., 15853. “I hope the town gets together and helps fundraise,” Heindl said.Pick up a copy of the Monday, Dec. 19, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Knowledge is power. At North Care we are your first step in educating yourself on all your options to make an informed decision.
First Trimester Surgical Abortion
Also known as In-Clinic or Surgical Abortoin
5-12 weeks from last period
A first trimester surgical abortion may include Manual Aspiration and/or Suction Curettage
A manual aspiration abortion can be done within 1-3 weeks after a missed period. A syringe is inserted and used to remove the embryo from the lining of the uterus.
This type of abortion is also known as a D&E (dilation and evacuation) and is performed up until 12 weeks of pregnancy. This is the most common type of abortion. The woman’s cervix is dilated and the fetus is removed by a suction device that is inserted into the uterus. A curette may also be used to scrape any remaining fetal parts out of the uterus. It is also called Vacuum Curettage.
Risks & Complications
The number of women who have complications is small, but they may include:
- Blood clot in the uterus
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Damage to the uterus
- Incomplete abortion (when the fetus is not removed completely)


As the Fairfax papers reported on April 14, the NSW government has rejected yet another recommendation to replace conveyancing stamp duty by a broad-based land tax. That is the effect of the “stamp duty replacement tax” recommended on page 13-4 of the Lambert Report, delivered in September and quietly released in February.
It is often said that replacing stamp duty by land tax would discriminate against recent home buyers (who have recently incurred stamp duty). The remedy suggested by Lambert is to apply the land tax from the next sale of each property, so that current owners would not be affected. As Lambert himself acknowledges, this would cause a hiatus in revenue, because the flow of stamp duty would stop immediately, but the land tax revenue would build up slowly as properties entered the new system.
I was therefore unimpressed to read in the Daily Telegraph that the NSW government might allow first home buyers to pay their stamp duty over three years. That would cause a revenue gap (somewhat like Lambert’s transitional arrangement) without the efficiency gains of replacing stamp duty by land tax!
A more viable transitional arrangement would involve two steps. The first step is to replace the purchaser stamp duty by a vendor duty on the capital gain. This avoids discriminating against more recent buyers, because their capital gains (if any) are smaller. As a political sweetener, this step could be accompanied by the abolition of the existing, narrow-based land tax. The second step is to introduce the broad-based land tax as a pre-payment of the vendor duty. This would not cause any interruption of revenue. The pre-payment could be optional in politically sensitive cases (such as the “family home”), but compulsory in others.
Even the first step by itself would be an improvement on the status quo. It would improve the position of first home buyers relative to repeat buyers, because the former would no longer pay duty up front, while the latter’s capital gains would no longer be untaxed. The duty on the capital gain would not greatly discriminate against more frequent movers, whose capital gains would accumulate in larger numbers of smaller steps. And because each transfer of title would only realize, rather than create, a tax liability, the “lock-in” effect would be smaller than that of a duty on the transfer price.
Nevertheless, the record clearly indicates that governments will not give up the present stamp duty until they have no choice. Accordingly, I point out that the existing stamp duty is highly avoidable.
If you’re a home owner, you don’t have to pay stamp duty just because you move or “downsize”. If you let your old address to tenants, and rent your new address, there’s no change of ownership, so you pay no stamp duty, no conveyancing fees, and no agent’s commission. And if the interest on your old address exceeds the rent, you can start claiming “negative gearing”.
Yes, you might start paying land tax and rental management fees. But that’s all tax-deductible too — unlike the costs of selling your principal residence and buying another.
Yes, if you live away from your property for long enough, you’ll become liable for capital gains tax. But only if you actually make a capital gain! No such safeguard applies to stamp duty, conveyancing fees or agents’ commissions.
If everyone adopts this strategy for avoiding stamp duty, governments will be forced to find an alternative; but early adopters will save a fortune in the mean time.
