We have a 97 year old mother who has well controlled high blood pressure and mild chronic airway disease. Our travel policy does not cover us if she were to become ill before we go away or while we are away. This trip is costing a lot of money and we cannot afford to lose it. Although she is a great age, she is very well and could live for years, we cannot put off taking this trip indefinitely. Is such a product available. Obviously no medical cover for possible treatment is needed, just cover for about £4000 worth of travel costs.

Ethanol plant could require 45 square miles of 'giant cane'
An ethanol refinery under consideration near Clinton would need to be supplied by up to 30,000 acres of crops, including one that’s been studied relatively little.
Wilmington-based Chemtex International is eyeing a site in Sampson County about 70 miles southeast of Raleigh for the refinery. It would make the ethanol from crops including arundo donax, commonly known as “giant reed” or “giant cane,” which won EPA approval last week for use in commercial ethanol production.
While arundo became something of a pest species in California, the N.C. Department of Agriculture has declined to list it as a “noxious weed.” It has also been less heavily studied than corn, the most common ethanol feedstock, and switchgrass, a more-efficient ethanol feedstock that’s often grown for hay to feed animals.
Studies are ongoing at the N.C. Biofuels Center, just west of Oxford, N.C., in Granville County, says Sam Brake, director of farming for the center. Most of the current research there focuses on arundo's uptake of nitrogen and phosphorous compounds, key ingredients in commercial fertilizers.
One of arundo‘s big advantages is its high energy content per acre. It’s also a perennial that can grow in sandy soil, meaning that it wouldn’t be labor-intensive. Even so, its inability to thrive in shady forests would keep it from spreading uncontrolled in North Carolina, Brake said.
Nonetheless, the required 25,000 to 30,000 acres would be a huge amount of land: About 45 square miles, roughly as large as the Town of Cary. It’s been grown only in very small patches, for landscaping and research, Brake said.
But its ability to grow in marginal soil would mean that it wouldn’t have to displace corn and other food crops, Brake said.

60:001:024 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
But Gerty’s crowning glory was her wealth of wonderful hair.
Then, too, there is in German literature a fine reserve which I like; but its chief glory is the recognition I find in it of the redeeming potency of woman’s self-sacrificing love.
The experiments of Roman architecture sufficiently show it; the glory of which is their Roman frame rather than their Hellenic ornament.
Verily vain glory is an evil plague, the greatest of vanities, because it draweth us away from the true glory, and robbeth us of heavenly grace.
20:017:006 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
20:020:029 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
23:004:005 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
23:022:018 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
23:058:008 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
23:066:012 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
the pinnace was dismantled; the revel and the revellers were found no more; the glory of the vintage was dust; and the forests with their beauty were left without a witness upon the seas. “
Napoleon’s aim was “Glory;” Wellington’s watchword, like Nelson’s, was “Duty.”
If any thing is sacred the human body is sacred, And the glory and sweet of a man is the token of manhood untainted, And in man or woman a clean, strong, firm-fibred body, is more beautiful than the most beautiful face.
Lift up your voice, wave high your palm, Compass the heavens with your psalm: All glory be Eternally To God and to the Lamb.
And the Christian life has suffered loss, where believers have not been distinctly guided to see that, even in our relation as creatures, nothing is more natural and beautiful and blessed than to be nothing, that God may be all; or where it has not been made clear that it is not sin that humbles most, but grace, and that it is the soul, led through its sinfulness to be occupied with God in His wonderful glory as God, as Creator and Redeemer, that will truly take the lowest place before Him.
The chief glory of heaven, the true heavenly-mindedness, the chief of the graces, is humility. '
His original reasons I know not; but his hatred isincreased since your great success against Blefuscu, by which hisglory as admiral is much obscured.
Well, I’m mighty glad to hear ye all and see ye all once more, ’cause I don’t know when I’ll be gone to glory; but I’ve done got ready, chil’en; ’pears like I’d got my little bundle all tied up, and my bonnet on, jest a waitin’ for the stage to come along and take me home; sometimes, in the night, I think I hear the wheels a rattlin’, and I’m lookin’ out all the time; now, you jest be ready too, for I tell ye all, chil’en,” she said striking her staff hard on the floor, “dat ar glory is a mighty thing!
This he afterwards explained by saying that to a boyar the pride of his house and name is his own pride, that their glory is his glory, that their fate is his fate.

Food Science Terms - B
B vitamins: water soluble vitamins which help the body release energy from food. There are many B vitamins, all of which are required in a healthy diet
Bacteria: Large group of single-celled microorganisms which can be both harmful and helpful to food. They contain a cell wall but no organelles
Bacteriocin: Small, naturally occurring protein produced by one species of bacterium that effectively protects it from competing organisms. Different bacteria produce different bacteriocins.
Bacteriophage: Bacterial virus; a virus capable of infecting bacteria.
Baking chocolate: Cooled, hardened chocolate liquor. It is used primarily as an ingredient in recipes, or as a garnish.
Balance: The relation of malt to hops in a beer. Ideally they are balanced.
Balling hydrometer scale: A hydrometer scale calibrated so that readings at a specified temperature (usually 20°C) equal the percentage by weight of sugar in the solution. It is numerically equivalent to the Brix scale, but is chiefly used by brewers, whereas the Brix scale is used by sugar refineries and vintners. Devised by C J N Balling.
Base: Substance with a pH above 7.0. Substances with a base pH include soap (pH 10.0) and ammonia (pH 11.2). When combined with an acid, will form a salt. Accepts hydrogen ions from an acid
Base kitchen: Kitchen in which foods are prepared, served at that location, and transported to other locations or satellites for service. Also known as a regional kitchen.
Batch treatment: Treatment of a static mass of food in bulk or packaged.
Beta-carotene: Orange-colored plant pigment that can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. Beta-carotene is found in deep-yellow and leafy dark-green vegetables.
Beta-glucan: Soluble fiber in oats which provides the health benefit of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by decreasing circulating blood cholesterol.
Beta-oxidation breakdown of fatty acids to generate acetyl coenzyme A during a metabolic process
Bi-metallic thermometer: Food thermometer used to measure product temperatures. Uses a spring mechanism to determine temperature.
Biofilm: protective layer that microbes gradually create in order to survive a hostile environment

Biological indicator system: System (bacteria or enzyme) used to determine whether a process cycle has met the specified requirements.
Biopolymer: polymers (eg cellulose, protein, DNA) produced by living organisms (eg plants, animals).
Biotechnology: Use of living organisms or parts of living organisms, through controlled manipulation of biological systems, to create new products.
Biotin: One of the B vitamins.
Bitter Chocolate: Chocolate liquid which has been cooled and shaped into blocks. Best when used in baking or cooking.
Bitter: Flavor characteristic of food or beverages.
Bittering hops: Varieties of hops that are used to infuse a bitter taste in beer.
Bitterness: strong flavor, generally lacking in sweetness and usually quite sharp eg in coffee and citrus fruit
Bitterns: The highly saline liquor which remains after most of the salt has crystallized from brine.
Bittersweet chocolate: Dark chocolate containing a minimum of 35% chocolate liquor. Bittersweet and semi-sweet both fall under this definition; however, bittersweet is a common term for chocolate with a minimum of 50% chocolate liquor.
Blancher: Lidded pot designed with a fitted perforated basket to hold food in boiling water, or with a fitted rack to steam foods. Useful for loosening skins on fruits to be peeled, or for heating foods to be hot packed.
Blanching: Process where foods, such as vegetables, are immersed in boiling water or heating in steam at 95°C for 1-5 minutes to reduce enzyme activity. They are then plunged into cold water to stop the cooking process
Blast chiller: Refrigeration unit that chills foods from 60° to 3°C in 90-120 minutes or less.
Bleaching: Treatment to reduce natural pigments (carotenoids, chlorophylls and xanthophylls) and other impurities such as cations of iron, copper and zinc.
Bleaching agents: Used to artificially whiten flour.
Bloom: Cocoa butter, the fat component of chocolate, is polymorphic; meaning it can solidify into different crystalline forms at different temperatures. It is also monotropic, which means that over time, all crystals will transform to the higher melting point crystals, or b crystals. Chocolate therefore needs to be tempered to gain an adequate proportion of stable b crystals in the liquid chocolate before it is used in coating or moulding. If the chocolate is not tempered, cooled and stored correctly, b' (beta prime) crystals may form, later transforming to large b crystals, appearing on the surface of the chocolate as a white hazy substance, or bloom.
Body: Richness and the amount of mouth feel a drinker experiences from a beverage.
Boiling point elevation: One of the colligative properties. The boiling point of a solution is increased over that of water by the presence of solutes, and the extent of the increase is a function of both concentration and molecular weight.
Boiling-water canner: Large standard-sized lidded kettle with jar rack, designed for heat-processing 7 quarts or 8 to 9 pints in boiling water.
Botulism: rare but potentially fatal illness resulting from toxins produced by bacterial spores (Clostridium Botulinum ) that cause Acute food poisoning. Humans consume the toxin produced in moist, low-acid food, containing less than 2% oxygen and stored between 40 degrees and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Proper heat processing destroys this bacterium in canned food. Freezer temperatures inhibit its growth in frozen food. Low moisture controls its growth in dried food. High oxygen controls its growth in fresh foods. Food-borne botulism can be caused by eating improperly processed canned foods
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE): Also known as "mad cow disease." It is a rare, chronic degenerative disease affecting the brain and central nervous system of cattle. Cattle with BSE lose coordination, develop abnormal posture and experience changes in behavior. Clinical symptoms take 4-5 years to develop, followed by death in a period of several weeks to months unless the affected animal is destroyed sooner.
Breakdown: General term for describing the onset or progress of undesirable chemical or physical changes in a fat or oil. Thus, breakdown of frying fats may include darkening, formation of excess free fatty acids or peroxides, polymerization and gumming and undesirable foaming.
Bremasstrahlung: One of the three possible ways to generate X-rays, and the one commonly used to create X-rays for food irradiation. Literally translated from the German it means "braking" (brems) "radiation" (strahlung). Bremsstrahlung X-rays are generated when electrons accelerate on coulomb collision with other particles or when a beam of particles decelerates on encountering an obstacle. Synchrotron radiation or Compton scattering can also generate X-rays.
Brew kettle: Large cooking container, usually between 3-6 gallons, used in boiling the wort.
Brew kit: Brewing package that comes complete with all necessary ingredients to make beer.
Brewing: producing beer by soaking starch in water, then fermenting the sweet liquid with yeast, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide bubbles
Brine: The liquid which contains high concentrations of salt from which product salt is crystallised.
Brix hydrometer scale: Sugar content of a solution at a given temperature. Named for AFW Brix, a nineteenth-century German inventor. The Brix (sugar content) is determined by a HYDROMETER, which indicates a liquid's SPECIFIC GRAVITY (the density of a liquid in relation to that of pure water). Each degree Brix is equavalent to 1 gram of sugar per 100 grams of liquid. Also known as the Plato scale.
Broad spectrum light: For pulse light technology, it refers to ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrum of light.
Browning: when the surface of food becomes darker and browner in color as a result of cooking
BSE: Bovine spongiform encephalopathy: Also known as Mad Cow Disease, is a chronic progressive degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of cattle. There is no treatment, and affected cattle die. BSE is classified as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). The causative agent for BSE has not been determined. Some believe it is a "slow virus" or a "virino" while others believe it is a "prion" (an aberrant form of a normal prion protein) that causes the normal protein to conform to its aberrant shape, which leads to a cascade of abnormal proteins accumulating in brain cells. The accumulation of protein plaques causes cell death and leaves holes in the brain giving a "sponge-like" appearance. The etiologic agent is extremely resistant to destruction. BSE was first officially recognized in the United Kingdom (UK) in November 1986. The incubation period for BSE in cattle is from 2 to 8 years.
Buffer: Mixture containing both a weak acid and a weak base capable of absorbing additions of either strong acid or strong base with little corresponding change in pH. Buffers are used for calibrating pH meters.
Buffering salts: Buffering salts are applied to lower the gelling temperature and, in the case of low-methoxyl pectins, to delay the reaction with calcium. Thus, buffering salts are also called retarding agents.
Bulk: Method of transporting food in large quantities, requiring that portioning be done at the receiving kitchen. Bulk food may be transported either hot or cold.
Bulk fermentation: Whole of the dough is fermented at 27°C in a closed container to prevent surface drying.
Bulking agents: food additive used to increase weight and/or volume of food volume without significantly adding to the energy levels or nutritional value of the food. Normally used in diet foods but can also be used to pad out expensive ingredients. Not usually digested and acts as a source of dietary fibre (roughage).
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA): Phenolic chemical compound used to preserve foods by preventing rancidity. It may also be used as a defoaming agent for yeast. BHA is found in foods high in fats and oils; also in meats, cereals, baked goods, beer, and snack foods.
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT): Phenolic chemical compound used to keep food from changing flavor, odor and/or color. It is added to foods high in fats and oils and cereals.
Butyric acid: carboxylic acid that can be found in, for example, milk and parmesan cheese

The next element of my Johnny Cupcakes Pac Man shirt I created was the maze. This is version one of the maze; however I still need to box it all in with more turns and eventually add the dots; the dillema I am running into now comes into play with what I chose to be my Pac-Man.
Pac-Man meet Big-Kid.
Now the issue I am having is on a regular pac-man game; the ghosts and the pac-man are the same size; however when making the ghosts and the Big-Kid the same size; the big-kid looks out of place and disproportionate to the rest of the shirt. Im open to any and all suggestions on how to remedy this issue; below you can see the first draft of my JC maze along with a sample to see what I mean about the size of the big kid vs the ghosts.

Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful App, exciting to bid and buy shares!
The app is beautiful. The concept is great as noted by the other reviewer. I too set up an account and sent $100 to figure out the process. My first bidding attempt was also a bust, but I did learn allot about the process. Also I emailed the team at Rally Rd and they responded fast with some tips on how to be more successful. The next 2 cars that came up I made 2 bids one was too low at the end of the day, but 1 was matched and I now have my first share. The app itself is a little tricky to navigate. The big things are open and easy but the trading schedule is published but I didn’t notice it right away. Also when bidding there’s a link that shows the bids and where you stand.
I’m pretty new to trading, so when equity markets were volatile last year from October -December I started asking friends if they knew of other investment apps or services with more stable assets. A friend told me about Rally Rd, so I invested in two of the cars. I was hesitant at first because I couldn’t take my money out until the first trading window, (90 days later), but this turns out better for me because I’m not constantly checking my account. Both cars grew in value when trading did happen, one almost 10%!! I’ve also enjoyed learning about these cars and the investment opportunity in collector items. I tell all my friends to download and invest.
I’ve been working in automotive wholesale for 3.5 years now and I have to say I absolutely love this concept and the ideas driving it. I have no doubt as time goes on they will begin to add more inventory, but there is nothing wrong with having a smaller amount. It’s better to start off small and grow from there. Like anything there is risk involved, especially with cars, but they seem to know what they are doing and have a smart team behind the scenes making the decisions. Keep up the great work, these vehicles are most definitely appreciating assets! I look forward to continuing to invest!
With Family Sharing set up, up to six family members can use this app.

Banner Image: Dr. Neal Shore, a member of BCAN’s Scientific Advisory Board, speaks with a patient.
Certain types of bladder tumors are hard to remove using surgical procedures like a TURBT, particularly flat tumors (carcinoma in situ). In addition, some tumors may be likely to recur after initial resection. In these cases, special medications that destroy cancer cells may be placed directly into the bladder. This treatment is called intravesical therapy. Intravesical therapies are administered through a catheter that is placed in the bladder through the urethra. The medication is then introduced into the bladder.
The following are the principal drugs that are used as intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy:
Bacille Calmette-Guerin or BCG
An intravesical immunotherapy that causes an immune or allergic reaction that has been shown to kill cancer cells on the lining of the bladder. BCG is often preferred for patients who have high-grade tumors or who have CIS or T1 disease. The urologist may also suggest maintenance therapy using BCG. The rationale for maintenance therapy is that the initial therapy plus intermittent therapy for 1 to 3 years may provide a decreased likelihood that the tumors will recur. The disadvantage to maintenance therapy is prolonged bladder irritation, fever, and bleeding which may force the doctor to decrease the BCG dosage or to discontinue the therapy.
An intravesical, anti-cancer drug has been shown to be effective after TURBT in reducing the number of tumor recurrences. It is usually well-tolerated and has a lower risk of chemical cystitis compared to other chemotherapy agents. Most side effects are lower urinary tract symptoms (having to urinate more frequently, more urgently, and painful urination). Sometimes this drug is given with an oral medication to change the acidity of the urine and decrease some of these side effects (called alkalization). When given through the bladder the likelihood of the chemotherapy getting into the blood is low, thus very few have nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and low blood counts as a side effect.
An intravesical, anti-cancer drug that has been shown to be effective after the TURBT in reducing the number of recurrences of bladder tumors by as much as 50%. An advantage of Mitomycin C is that it is not easily absorbed through the lining of the bladder and into the blood and, thus, less risky than chemotherapy given intravenously. Side effects from the drug can be pain when urinating and/or “chemical cystitis”, an irritation of the lining of the bladder which can feel like a urinary tract infection. Both these side effects are temporary and will disappear when the therapy is stopped. This drug may be delivered into the bladder immediately after TURBT.
Nadoferegene is a novel drug that use a new mechanism to treat bladder cancer. It uses a viral mechanism to infect cells and treat the cancer. This is a series of instillations in the office. Side effects are often urinary frequency, urinary urgency, burning with urination and fatigue are most common. (Please note, at this time Nadoferegen firadenovec does not have approval from the U.S Food and Drug Administration.)
Gemcitabine with Docetaxel
This is a combination of anti-cancer drugs that are given in the bladder for a series of installations usually in the office after TURBT. Side effects are similar to the gemcitabine alone. Usually, one drug is given and then drained out of the bladder, then the second drug is given in the same office visit.
The drug is indicated for patients who have had a recurrence after BCG treatments. It is a new compound that has been developed to attack a certain part of the cancer cell surface in the bladder. About half of patients have some sort of side effect, but the overwhelming majority of these are not serious. The frequency of administration is the most rigorous of all the treatments mentioned above. It starts with twice weekly treatments for 6 weeks, weekly for six weeks and then every other week after that for two years. (Please note, at this time Vicinium does not have approval from the U.S Food and Drug Administration.)
For some patients, Valrubicin may be used. The drug is indicated for patients whose CIS bladder cancer did not respond to BCG treatment or and who cannot have surgery right away to take out the bladder.
The above list is taken from published randomized control trials, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines and the American Urologic Association guidelines.
Treatment availability varies by urologists.
This is a rapidly expanding area and new drugs are expected to be added to this over the next year or two years.

Last week I experienced a new Indian restaurant on the Upper West Side called Roasted Masala. As a former resident of the neighborhood, I was quite eager to return to my old stomping grounds for what I felt would be a unique culinary experience. I had read that the restaurant is helmed by Chef Jawad Rehman, who uses Northen India recipes passed down from his grandfather. He used to watch as his grandfather created cuisine for large and lavish Indian weddings. Those storied recipes are now brought to life at Roasted Masala for diners to enjoy. Hence, I had good reason to be excited about this meal.
The restaurant, located on 104th Street and Columbus Avenue, is an interesting space with high ceilings, chandeliers, and bright accents that reminded me very much of India. Aside from the look and feel, you have the scent of spices and aromas inspired by Indian culture, so the experience felt uniquely Indian from the get-go.
I was particularly excited to try out a few new dishes I had yet to experience in Indian restaurants. Roasted Masala serves Dosa, a kind of Indian crepe stuffed with different types of fillings including Indian cottage cheese, potatoes, and vegetables. The crepe shell was delicious and flaky, and the inside ingredients delicious. They also specialize in Kati Rolls, an Indian street food staple in Bombay, as well as Indian rice dishes. My eyes nearly popped out of my head looking at the options on the menu. For starters, we had Onion Bhaji and Spinach Chaat, a lightly fried spinach fritter which I loved with the accompanying drip.
For entrees, we tried Goan Fish Curry, Chilean sea bass in a gorgeous coconut sauce, and Saag Paneer, accompanied by Stuffed Naan. We had garlic but other Naan options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and lamb; Roti and Poori, a wheat bread balloon. Both dishes came with rice, and the portions were big and filling. We even had enough for doggy bags.
What else did I enjoy at Roasted Masala? The service was lovely. The atmosphere was relaxed and calm. We sat for a long time, and no one minded. The Lassi drink I ordered was sweet and refreshing.
For dessert, we tried Shahi Tukda, sweet toast fried and soaked in condensed milk and sprinkled with saffron, sugar, almonds, and cashews. I must admit the texture is something I am not used to, so it was not my favorite, but nonetheless I enjoyed experiencing more of the chef’s repertoire.
A few notes. Roasted Masala is BYOB. They feature weekly rotating Indo-ChineseÂ andÂ tandooriÂ special. Roasted Masala provides catering services and can be found on popular service sites including Seamless, GrubHub and DoorDash.
Roasted Masala is located at 914 Columbus Avenue, New York. Their phone is 917-388-3586. Be sure to make a reservation on the weekend as it got quite crowded during our visit on a Saturday night.
Disclosure: My meal was complimentary, but all opinions are my own.

Nottingham Forest have caused shockwaves through the footballing world by not only beating FA Cup holders Arsenal in the third round of this year's competition, but doing so in style, claiming a 4-2 victory at the City Ground.
The Reds have had little to smile about in recent seasons, surviving relegation on the final day in 2016-17 and lacking form this season, which led to the sacking of Mark Warburton, but they made the Gunners look truly second best in West Bridgford on Sunday evening.
A remarkable brace by Eric Lichaj, plus penalties by youngsters Ben Brereton and Kieran Dowell, saw interim boss Gary Brazil pull off a superb victory that will ensure his place in history as one of the finest caretaker manager tenures of recent times (Roberto Di Matteo's spell at Chelsea is probably not going to be beaten though).
Brereton, who let's not forget is 18 years old, made mincemeat of experienced Germany international and World Cup winner Per Mertesacker, as five of Forest's starting line-up came through the ranks.
All in all, a superb afternoon for the Reds, who successfully avenged their 4-0 hammering at the hands of Arsene Wenger's side in the EFL Cup last season.
Football Manics has spoken to Forest fan Steve Corry, matchday commentator for the Reds and Mansfield Town for Alan March Sports (Twitter: @FitzCorry), to get an insight on the victory and also how things are at the club at present.
How does it feel to have beaten Arsenal in the FA Cup?
Frankly it feels surreal to have beaten Arsenal, simply due to the way in which we dominated them from beginning to end.
Did you think you would be able to pull off an upset?
If I'm honest, I never expected us to beat the FA Cup holders, especially as they destroyed us with a weakened side in the EFL Cup two years ago.
How are things at the club currently?
Things are constantly improving at the club, thankfully, a large section of our fans are buying into the ethos that it won't happen over night anymore.
Who would you like in the fourth round?
I'm going to buck the trend and say that I'd like a lower league club in the next round. The longer we can remain in this amazing old competition, the more hope we have as fans. Realistically, I can't see us getting promoted this season, so a prolonged cup run would be fantastic.
Who would you like as your new permanent manager?
Personally, I would prefer the club to avoid the cliché BIG names. I recently made a public call for the services of Nathan Jones & Paul Hart from Luton Town.

Canadian company Gateway Casinos and Entertainment will invest CA$36m in a brand new casino facility in Chatham, Ontario. Trading under the banner of Cascades Casino Chatham, it will open in mid-2019, replacing the existing Dresden slots facility and generating up to 200 jobs in the area. Gateway CEO Tony Santo and Chatham-Kent Mayor Randy Hope unveiled plans for the new gambling venue at a presentation this week.
The Cascades-branded location marks the first new-build Gateway gambling venue in Ontario, where the operator has already taken over a number of former Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) facilities. With 50,000 sq ft to play with, it is envisaged that the site will operate as an entertainment hub as opposed to a standalone casino. The casino will host 333 slots and 10 table games, alongside dining options and a sports bar.
“I can’t say enough about the spirit of co-operation and partnership demonstrated by Mayor Randy Hope, Council and staff in helping us move forward with our first new build in Ontario,” said CEO Santo. “The proposed $36 million investment in Chatham-Kent would bring not only up to 200 new jobs to the area when we open, but millions in economic spin-offs throughout construction. We look forward to breaking ground on this state of-the-art entertainment destination.”
Mayor Hope added:“I’m very pleased with the Gateway announcement and the expected investment in Chatham-Kent. The partnership between the municipality, Gateway and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has been one which has benefitted all communities in Chatham-Kent. We have been working with Gateway for some time and have found the company to be absolutely first-rate. We couldn’t have a better partner.”

A Little Life Update
As you can imagine, with our upcoming move there’s a lot of hustle and bustle going on currently and in the coming months. I initially shared that we are moving to Seattle in a post last summer, cue happy dancing. And little by little, things have been falling into place over the last few months! We are so excited to see things coming together and can’t wait to call Washington home in just a few short months.
So here’s the dealio, I’m finally at the point where I can give everyone an update on all things move and our travel agenda! YAY!
East Coast Shoots
May – July photographing PA Weddings & Shoots
I’ll be taking shoots in Pennsylvania during May, June and July. After that I will no longer be taking on work in Pennsylvania with the exception of when I travel back to PA for extended trips to visit with my family. During those trips I hope to take on a few sessions while I’m in the area. However, I will likely only be working with repeat clients during those trips.
So! If you’ve ever wanted to book a shoot with me, I’d love to chat!
July 31st we are moving out of our apartment and hitting the road!
The first 3 weeks in August are being spent with family in PA, VA, and NC. I’ll also be photographing a wedding on August 5th, which is my last wedding in PA, which is crazy to think about!
After we spend a few weeks visiting our family on the East Coast, our route looks as follows:
NC, TN, TX, NM, CO, WY, MT, ID, WA
Arriving in Washington
Our arrival date in WA is September 4th! WHAT! We’ll be arriving on the far east side (Spokane) and will be seeing some friends there before we make our way to Seattle.
Then we have a few weeks to hopefully get somewhat settled and leave for NZ on September 20th!
I’ll be doing another blog post in June with specific travel dates while we’re on the road!
Photo of Caleb & me by my sweet friend Hannah Leigh
I’m an adventurous wedding photographer moving to the west coast after 3 months of living the nomadic life on the road. Before we cozy down in our new home in Washington State, Caleb and I will be traveling and photographing in North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington State.

During World War II, the United States Army started altering cartridges by making them shorter. This would allow an infantryman to carry more ammunition than the standard 30-06 cartridge. The .300 Savage was utilized and was quickly rejected. The neck of the .300 Savage is just too short to hold a military combat bullet.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Ordinance Department of the United States Army developed the cartridge (7.62 x 51 mm NATO) that was officially adopted by the nations that made up the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In 1952, Winchester was granted permission by the U.S. Ordinance Department to introduce a civilian version of this cartridge, and the .308 Winchester was born.
At first, the .308 Winchester did not have very much appeal with big game hunters. The popularity of the 30-06 Springfield was well established. Ballistically, it is well known there is nothing the .308 can do that the 30-06 cannot do. This is because of the larger powder capacity of the 30-06 casing. However, when the public realized the accuracy of this cartridge, the popularity of the .308 steadily grew.
The .308 Winchester is the most popular national match cartridge in use today. It is also an excellent cartridge for all North American big game with the exception of large bears. To make a long story short, the .308 Winchester is accurate, efficient, versatile and hard hitting.
This cartridge is also the parent cartridge of several other popular cartridges currently on the market. Among them are the .243 Winchester and the 7mm-08 Remington. These are necked down versions of the .308 Winchester. The .358 Winchester is a necked-up version of the .308.
The .308 Winchester has a long barrel life. It is common for high quality .308 barrels to deliver more than 6,000 rounds of accurate service with factory-loaded ammunition.
The cartridge works well with all types of rifles. It does not matter whether it is an expensive hunting or target rifle or an inexpensive model. The .308 Winchester will usually deliver more than satisfactory results.
Several years ago, a friend I worked with won a statewide bench rest shoot match with a .308 Winchester. His rifle was a budget-priced Remington Model 788. I do not remember whether he used factory or handloaded ammunition.
When comparing the factory advertised ballistics of the .308 to the 30-06, check the table listed below.
125 grain bullet, 3,050 feet per second-3,140 feet per second
150 grain bullet, 2,820 feet per second-2,910 feet per second
180 grain bullet, 2,620 feet per second-2,700 feet per second
Most gun writers agree that the velocity difference between the two cartridges is insignificant. In most cases, the .308 will deliver better accuracy.
Below are two good hand loads for the .308 Winchester:
1. Case Winchester
Primer CCI-200 (large rifle)
Powder & weight IMR 4064; 46.0 grains
Bullet 125 grain Sierra Pointed Soft Point
Note: Good starting varmint load
2. Case Remington or Winchester
Primer CCI-200 (large rifle)
Powder & Weight IMR 3031; 41.8 grains
Bullet 150 grain Speer Round Nose Bullet
Note: This load also works well using the Sierra 150-grain pointed Soft Point Bullet. I have taken three deer with this load.
The reloader should always remember when reloading military cases to reduce the maximum load by two full grains. G.I. or military brass is thicker and cannot be handloaded with as heavy a powder charges as civilian cases.


The Narendra Modi government seems to be running on silence. Key secretaries are mum. There’s no media advisor to the PM. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has hardly any information. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has scrapped its daily briefing, which was the lifeline of the political beat for many years.
What has stumped hardcore political journalists in Delhi is that the numerous BJP blowhorns like Prakash Javedkar, now I & B minister, Ravi Shakar Prasad, now law minister, and even Arun Jaitley, who sometimes spent the entire day in front of TV cameras patiently answering questions ranging from politics to social propriety and offering advice to the nation, at large, are nowhere to be seen. The byte has gone out of the BJP.
What is even more damning is that the daily briefing in the BJP headquarters at 11, Ashoka Road, which converted the drab morning hours to prime time TV, has been stopped. OB vans no longer line this beautiful boulevard. The once-accessible friendly BJP office-bearers have “gone underground”.
A BJP worker said newspapers are scanned every morning to keep tabs on who in the party and government was talking to the media and on what.
The newly appointed spokesperson M J Akbar is nowhere to be seen and has not briefed the press even once. Subramaniam Swamy, who tweeted endlessly with often bizzare allegations, seems to have developed arthritis of his thumb.
That there is no media adviser to the PM, even after 21 days of Narendra Modi being sworn in, is glaring. Jagdish Thakkar, a Gujarat officer has been appointed as the PRO to the PMO, but according to a Gujarat daily he will be no Sanjay Baru or Pankaj Pachauri and will not be briefing the press.
The 70-year-old official will most probably be pointing out negative reports or bringing some such crucial information to the attention of the PM.
Ministers of the Modi government have been instructed not to speak to the media. That’s the job of the ministry spokesman or of a government spokesman, if a particular ministry does not have a dedicated spokesman. BJP MPs have been warned of the possibility of a Bangaru Laxman-type sting!
The point is, ever since May 26, very few Union ministers have addressed a press conference. Shortly after he was sworn in as prime minister, Narendra Modi called a meeting of the BJP parliamentary party in the Central Hall of Parliament, where he gave them what the Congress has dubbed “10 commandments”. One of them was: “Avoid speaking to the media. There is no need to speak on national issues unnecessarily.”
The MPs were on cue. As they trooped out, they refused to give bytes to the waiting media. Since then, very few ministers have interacted with the press. The council of ministers has had only one meeting and the government’s mind on various issues is only a guess, hazy at best.
Government briefings have stopped. When the UPA was in power, there was a Group of Ministers (GoM) on Media that used to meet everyday at a fixed hour to analyse the events of the day GoM has been scrapped, along with the others.
Journalists who have been covering BJP for years and were on wonderful terms with party leaders are suddenly finding it hard to get through to them. Even when they do breach the wall, wanting to speak on a certain issue, all they get is a “cannot say anything” comment.
The government seems to have no media policy. Scanning government websites is a waste of time. Even the PMO website is more or less moribund. It’s not yet updated. There is mention of ‘Quest for Transparency’ but RTI on officials in the PMO and their service details are not fully transparent.
Even PIB officials say they rely on Twitter to get to know what the government is up to and what and how much of the information should be told to the media. Press statements are drafted, based on tweets posted by the PMO. Narendra Modi has already underlined the importance of social media to interact with the people.
Delhi, where a hot news or a spicy gossip blew in with every gust of wind from the Yamuna, is looking like a parched state, looking for succour. The byte has gone out of the BJP.

The Palm Beach Blood Bank put out an urgent plea Monday for donations to alleviate what blood bank officials called a critical shortage of blood.
An unusually high demand for blood by local hospitals in the last two weeks has drained the bank of its entire reserve of types O and B blood. Other types of blood also are in short supply.
"The cupboard is bare," blood bank spokesman Matt Romano said Monday. "There are no (units of) O or B on the shelf. Whatever we had this morning went out."
The blood bank is the primary source of blood for 19 hospitals in Palm Beach County and in Martin, Hendry, Okeechobee and Glades counties. It provides hospitals with about 300 pints of blood each day.
Although the blood bank has not asked hospitals to curtail elective surgery, non-emergency procedures that can be postponed, limits on surgery may have to be considered unless blood supplies are increased this week, blood bank officials said.
Romano said the blood shortage is due in part to the usual increase in demand that occurs during the winter tourist season and also to a recent "string of unusual (medical) cases where people needed a lot of blood."
The growing number of open-heart operations, which require large amounts of blood, done at local hospitals has created an additional strain on blood bank supplies, Romano said.
And blood supplies have been further diminished because all donated blood is screened for acquired immune deficiency syndrome and hepatitis viruses, he said. The blood bank must eliminate about 5 to 10 percent of the blood it collects because it is contaminated by these viruses, he said.
"Ironically, the donations are over (what they were) last year, but the usage levels are up even higher," Romano said. The local shortage is part of a nationwide blood shortage that has existed for several months, he said.
To encourage more people to donate, the blood bank has until further notice extended from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. the hours its collection centers are open.
Blood bank centers are located at 1860 N. Dixie Highway, Boca Raton, 395-8117; 14810 S. Military Trail, Delray Beach, 495-1211; 3091 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth, 433-1008; 933 45th St., West Palm Beach, 845-2323.

It’s was a late one for the Executive in a meeting that went on overnight into the small hours, as discussions took place on the introduction of toughest measures to fight the surge of COVID-19 cases.
There had been talk that Northern Ireland was set for another full lockdown, which had divided opinion between parties, but also amongst the experts, in an attempt to reduce the ’R’ value below 1.
This morning however there appears to be a compromise regards the introduction of a full lockdown, with the First Minister anouncing several closures which will include the hospitality sector and Schools.
In addition to current household restrictions, the following measures will come into regulatory effect on Friday 16th October and will be in place for a period of four weeks:
- Bubbling to be limited to a maximum of 10 people from two households;
- No overnight stays in a private home unless in a bubble;
- Closure of the hospitality sector apart from deliveries and takeaways for food, with the existing closing time of 11.00pm remaining.
- Other takeaway premises will be brought in line with hospitality with a closing time of 11.00pm;
- Close contact services such as hairdressers and beauticians are not permitted to open, apart from those relating to the continuation of essential health interventions and therapeutics.
- No indoor sport of any kind or organised contact sport involving household mixing other than at elite level;
- No mass events involving more than 15 people (except for allowed outdoor sporting events where the relevant number for that will continue to apply);
- Gyms may remain open but for individual training only with local enforcement in place;
- Funerals to be limited to 25 people with no pre- or post-funeral gatherings;
- Off licenses and supermarkets will not sell alcohol after 8.00pm;
- Wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships to be limited to 25 people with no receptions. This will be implemented on Monday 19 October. Venues providing the post-ceremony or partnership celebration this weekend may remain open for this purpose but may not provide other services for people who are not part of the wedding or partnership party and this will be limited to 25;
And the following advice will be added to the existing health guidance:
- Work from home unless unable to do so;
- Universities and further education to deliver distance learning to the maximum extent possible with only essential face to face learning where that is a necessary and unavoidable part of the course;
- No unnecessary travel should be undertaken.
The half term holiday break for schools and colleges will be extended to a two-week break to run from 19th to 30th October.
Places of worship will remain open with a mandatory requirement to wear face coverings when entering and exiting. This will not apply to parties to a marriage or civil partnerships.
The retail sector will also stay open at this time. Further engagement is planned to ensure that the sector does everything it can to help suppress the virus.
The Executive will urgently engage with sectors and work on support for those affected as a matter of priority.
First Minister Arlene Foster said: “We are facing the tough reality of rapidly rising rates of infection. There are increasing numbers of people requiring acute care in our hospitals and sadly we learned yesterday of the death of seven people from Covid-19.
“The Executive has given careful and painstaking consideration of the right blend of actions that will do maximum damage to the virus but minimum harm to life chances today and tomorrow.
“We understand that these interventions will be hard but they will not be in place for a moment longer than they need to be. I would ask everyone to work with us to save lives and protect our health service.”
Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill said: “The Executive has taken these very difficult decisions in response to the emergency situation we are faced with. The Coronavirus infection rate has reached crisis levels and our health service is in real danger of becoming overwhelmed.
“Urgent intervention is needed to interrupt the spread of the virus and prevent a worsening of the situation.
“These measures will be in place for four weeks, but they will only be effective if we have the support of public. We are appealing to everyone to do everything you can over these next few weeks to help keep everyone safe and save lives.
“We know this is hard and that people will be really worried about their livelihoods, but we will do everything we possibly can to make sure there are protections in place for families, workers and businesses.”

Tjager named director general of state firms
JAKARTA (JP): Finance Minister Prijadi Praptosuhardjo officially installed I Nyoman Tjager as the director general of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) on Friday.
"The duty of the director general of SOEs will be very tough," Prijadi said at the inauguration ceremony.
Tjager was previously the deputy of the now dissolved ministry for the development of SOEs and investments.
Prijadi said that the country's 158 SOEs had combined total assets of Rp 560 trillion (US$60 billion), but had a low level of return on assets and return on equity.
Prijadi said that the new director general must boost the performance of the SOEs to be able to contribute to the state budget, which is heavily burdened by the huge cost of the country's bank restructuring and recapitalization program.
The government proposed in the 2001 draft state budget that SOEs should contribute around Rp 8 trillion to the budget, but legislators currently entering the final stage of the budget debate demanded the SOEs contribute up to Rp 10 trillion.
The government has said that out of the 158 SOEs, 132 were expected to make profit in 2001 while the remaining would still be operating at a loss.
Prijadi said that Tjager, who was a senior official at the Capital Market Supervisory Agency from 1997 to 1999, must immediately make preparations to privatize several SOEs next year to help finance the state budget deficit estimated at 3.7 percent of gross domestic product.
The government expects to be able to raise around Rp 5 trillion in privatization proceeds in 2001.
Prijadi has said recently that four SOEs including PT Sucofindo, airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II, and pharmaceutical firms PT Kimia Farma and PT Indofarma were ready to be privatized next year.
The government is supposed to privatize several firms this year including the above companies in a bid to raise around Rp 6.5 trillion but none have been realized.
The weak market sentiment due to domestic political and economic instability has been seen as the main factor causing the delay in the privatization program.
But some say that the cabinet reshuffle in April and August has affected the privatization program.
President Abdurrahman Wahid dismissed Laksamana Sukardi from the ministry for the development of SOEs and investments in April. He then appointed Rozy Munir, seen by analysts as a less capable person but personally close to the President.
The President launched another cabinet reshuffle in August and this time he also dissolved the ministry for the development of SOEs and investments, returning the SOEs under the authority of the ministry of finance.
The former president Soeharto transferred in 1998 the authority for the SOEs from the ministry of finance to the newly formed ministry for the development of SOEs and investments.
Rozy and Tjager had been tipped to be the director general of the SOEs.
Elsewhere, Prijadi instructed Tjager to implement good corporate governance in SOEs, which had been the cash cow of politicians and the military during the 32-year authoritarian rule of Soeharto.
He also said that the new director general must design a "hire and fire" system for the directors and commissioners of the SOEs as well as a "fit and proper" test system.
The fit and proper test system was first implemented by Bank Indonesia as a mechanism to select top officials for domestic banks to ensure that the people running the banks have not violated banking regulations in the past in a bid to prevent the banking crisis from reoccurring.
But ironically, Prijadi failed to past the central bank test when he was nominated to become president of the state-owned Bank Rakyat Indonesia by Abdurrahman. (rei)

Andrew Foley Shuffles Randomly
Comics creator Andrew Foley is interviewed at The Pulse:
I don’t know if you’ve run into this, but pretty much every comic editor whose let me pitch to them says the same thing right up front: “No vampires, no serial killers.” Having been a submissions editor at an online comic company for awhile, I know exactly why they say that--the vast majority of what gets submitted is crappy vampire stories, and the vast majority of what’s left is crappy serial killer stories. In spite of this, because some deeply twisted portion of my psyche apparently wants me to fail miserably, I concocted a story about a serial-killing book editor who runs into a vampire.
In a nutshell, DONE TO DEATH is intended to be the last vampire story ever written. My goal is to utterly ruin the genre for anyone who attempts to work in it from hereon in, at least anyone who wants to approach it in anything resembling a serious light. This might upset some hardcore fans of vampire culture, but it should be welcomed with open arms by submissions editors and anyone who’s read one too many Anne Rice novels (I’ll leave it to the individual reader to decide how many is one too many.)
Shannon Wade is the editor who discovered Shelley DeMornay, the world’s greatest living vampire novelist. They had a falling out a few years back, which resulted in Shannon getting demoted to the much-loathed position of submission editor. Because her company publishes Shelley DeMornay, the vast majority of Shannon’s slush pile consists of crappy, derivative vampire stories. Shannon hates the vampire genre--hates it so much that she starts hunting down and killing people who insist on sending her this crap.
Andy is the world’s worst vampire. A stuttering, overweight loser, he was once Shelley DeMornay’s biggest fan. Her books were like religious texts to him, and he believed in them so much that he actually went out and managed to become a real vampire. He thought doing so would transform him into a confident, sexy figure, like all of Shelley’s characters. Instead, he’s been turned into an immortal stuttering, overweight loser. Someone’s going to pay for it. A lot of someones, actually.
Shannon and Andy are going to collide, and when they do, it’ll be one of the funniest or most horrific things you’ve ever read--ideally, it’ll be both.
The book he's talking about, Done To Death, is powered by the ultra cool art of Fiona Staples. If there's a comic shop near you, you can make them order D2D for you with a special, garlic-enhanced code: May063281. If you're an Edmontonian, be sure to look for it at Happy Harbor Comics.

As of Tuesday, February 28, 2017
We’ve seen it happen. A young boy is playing with his friends at a city park. He falls off the slide, and limps back to his mother who puts an makeshift ice pack on his knee, which is scraped and swollen.
He doesn’t need the doctor — mom doesn’t think he’s broken anything this time, thank goodness — but he’s out of commission for the rest of the day, resting with the adults under the shade of the gazebo.
It wasn’t the slide’s fault the boy fell off. It’s not as though it had gaping rusty holes. It wasn’t even wobbly. But children sometimes fall.
When they do, often it’s because they are exploring the world around them.
Adults aren’t immune to injury, either. With the miles and miles of walking trails throughout Polk County and its cities, adults could fall victim to a twisted ankle.
The question is: Whose fault is it? When someone is recreating outdoors and gets injured, is his or her accident something the city or county or private landowner should have to pay for in court?
A recent ruling by the Oregon Supreme Court says it might be.
The court struck down recreational immunity in a 2016 decision after a sight-impaired Portland jogger was injured when she stepped in a hole dug by a parks department employee. The court ruled that the employee was liable — which makes the city, which pays for the employee’s insurance, liable.
It’s a tricky situation. If a city or other government agency is negligent in maintaining its public spaces, it makes sense that a lawsuit should be filed — and maybe won.
But we need to err on the side of caution when it comes to suing cities for injuries obtained at public spaces, or we could see the public spaces disappear.
Two identical bills have been introduced in the Oregon House and Senate to address the issue, clarifying that employees or agents of landowners are covered by recreational immunity when acting in the scope of their duties. But one Sentate Bill (504) would allow people to sue for negligence if the property is not properly maintained.
While that seems like a good compromise between landowner and land user, it is a slippery slope. It requires agencies to create and follow a “safety plan,” something that probably already exists under a different name. This bill would create more red tape for public landowners — and may make for more rules for land users, too.

Zipping around the floor of a Crate & Barrel warehouse in Tracy, Calif., a cadre of 35 orange robots helps solitary human employees do the work of six people. The squat machines carry shelves with the company’s 8,000 different products to people, who pick just the items they need to prepare online orders for shipment—all without walking around the sprawling building. While Crate & Barrel sees orders quadruple during the holiday weeks, this warehouse gets by with just double the employees, about 90 humans, thanks to the robots.
Meanwhile, just outside of Phoenix, Amazon.com Inc. takes a more human-powered approach. There, employees walk 18 to 20 miles a day down aisles lined with shelves, filling library-style carts with the latest orders and carrying items back to packing stations. For the holiday season, this Phoenix facility—one of about 20 that Amazon has across the U.S.—quadruples its staff to about 1,200 to handle the holiday rush, with teams working 24 hours a day.
Which approach is better is a matter of debate in the 15-year-old e-commerce industry. Amazon has avoided robots at its fulfillment centers, aside from systems that came with recent acquisitions such as Diapers.com. Yet Kiva Systems Inc., the company that makes the robots used by Crate & Barrel, now has systems in place at several top online retailers in the U.S., including Gap Inc., Staples Inc. and Gilt Groupe Inc.
