Theology : The Problem Of Evil
Plotinus, Enneads, First Ennead, 8th Tractate
Our presentation was on Plotinus, Enneads, First Ennead, 8th Tractate. The Enneads which is fully The Six Enneads, is the collection of writings of Plotinus, edited and compiled by his student Porphyry. We focused on the First Ennead and the 8th Tractate, which is "On the Nature and Source of Evil".
The part that I, Lindsay Chafizadeh, focused mainly on throughout the presentation was the background information and history of Plotinus and The Enneads. First, I researched Plotinus, who was a major Greek-speaking philosopher of the ancient world and a strong influence on Ibn Sina. He followed three principles in …show more content…
After researching the term Treatise, I can define it as a formal and systematic written examination of a certain subject that is written to expose the principles of that subject. Plotinus’s student, Porphyry, edited Plotinus’s writings into 54 different Treatises, which were then separated into groups of 9 Enneads. Most information on Plotinus comes from Porphyry's preface to his edition of Plotinus' Enneads. We focused on the 8th Tractate, and later is the presentation define what each section in the Tractate means. Plotinus’s metaphysical writings have acted as a significant inspiration to Pagan, Islamic, Jewish, Christian, and Gnostic metaphysicians and …show more content…
In the first Ennead, 8th Tractate, Plotinus creates twelve sections to discuss the nature and source of evil. Beginning with tractate 8 section 1, Plotinus discusses how humans know evil in the same way as we know the good in the world. In tractate 8 section 2, Plotinus defines goodness as the self-sufficient source and measure of all things. The good is beyond beautiful, beyond the highest and beyond the most intellect. Plotinus goes on to explain that the “... Good is that on which all else depends, towards which all Existences aspire as to their source and their need, while Itself is without need, sufficient to Itself, aspiring to no other” (Plotinus). Intellect circles good, and soul circles intellect, and through it sees good. If this were all, then evil would not exist. Next, I looked at tractate 8 section 3 where Plotinus discusses how Evil has to be a source of non-being and must be removed from being. Plotinus goes on to say that,“The Non Being we are thinking of is, rather, an image of Being or perhaps something so further removed than even an image” (Plotinus). In tractate 8, section 4 Plotinus stated how the Body is evil because it resists orderly movement while the Soul is what is good. Plotinus states, “In their ceaseless flux, they are always slipping away from Being” (Plotinus). Plotinus explains in this section that

Nancy Bloch, 60, of Wstchester, N.Y., is now the second patient to successfully undergo a new experimental approach to lung transplantation at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
Where usually lungs are checked while in the donor’s deceased body and removed when deemed viable, lungs in this new approach are removed and placed in a transparent case.
In the old way of doing things, the lungs are stored in cold temperatures over a short period of time and transplanted to the recipient.
In the new technique, also called as “ex vivo” or outside the body, the lungs are removed from the donor, placed on a transparent case, hooked to a pump and ventilator, and nourished with nutrients, antibiotics and pumped with oxygen. The lungs are monitored up to four hours before transplanted.
With a lot of patients waiting for lung transplant, this new technique has the potential to double the number of transplants performed.
Doctors warned though that the medical risks of ex vivo transplants are the same withe traditional technique. Recovery time is also the same. This time, however, anyone who needs a heart transplant can possibly qualify for the procedure.
Bloch is still recovering and was asked to give up gardening to avoid exposure to bacteria that may be detrimental to her new lungs.
Who needs gardening with this new lease of life.

Understanding The Causes Of Daytime Dizziness
No one likes having bodily symptoms when they first wake up in the morning to throw off their day. But millions of Americans wake up every day with some type of bodily health concern. One of the more difficult symptoms that people can wake up with is the feeling of dizziness every day. Since the morning hours are often a bit of a fog for many people, feeling dizzy can amplify the morning fog syndrome. Since dizziness can affect so many areas of functionality, it is important to get it treated.
Dizziness And Balance
One of the biggest concerns with feeling dizzy is that it can lead to imbalance and difficulty in daily functioning. In addition to the foggy state of mind, losing balance is a major concern. Losing balance can be a major concern for operating a motor vehicle and for doing simple things such as climbing stairs and taking a shower where falling can be a hazard. Because of the hazards of dizziness it is imperative to learn what the root cause of the dizziness is and not just try to treat the symptom.
Dizziness and Ear Nose And Throat
One of the primary causes for dizziness also called vertigo can often be from inner ear problems. Inner ear infections and problems with the inner ear can cause dizziness not just in the morning but all throughout the day. If this is the potential cause for this concern, an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist is the best physician to consult for this. If it is a simple infection the ENT Doctor will prescribe antibiotics to clear it up and the patient should feel better within a week.
In addition to ear infections, some viral infections are known to affect a person’s balance. If the vertigo is experienced while battling a viral infection, consultation with a primary doctor or an ENT Doctor can help. Viruses unlike bacterial infections are not generally treated with anti-biotics. Because of this the virus usually will need to run its course before the patient sees any significant relief for their dizziness symptoms.
Vertigo And Longer Term Health Concerns
In addition to inner ear problems and viruses, there are several other concerns that patients should consider discussing with their doctor if their symptoms are not consistent with inner ear infections or a virus. Dizziness can also be a symptom of neurological disorders, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke. These areas of health are usually more serious than an ear infection or a virus and are considered a longer-term health concern.
One of the other potential concerns for vertigo would be poisoning and allergic reactions. While not the most common cause of dizziness, it can be a concern. If the dizziness seems to not be affiliated with any known body ailment, it would be highly recommended that patients seek out the care of their primary physician for diagnosis. If the vertigo is accompanied by shortness of breath, seizures, headache or vomiting it is recommended that Patient seek out emergency care for a more complete diagnosis.

Vaccine procedures: international and European standards
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the EU’s vaccination information portal, vaccination in general is safe and side effects from a vaccine are usually minor and temporary. The vaccines are rigorously tested by their developers and then they undergo a scientific evaluation procedure overseen by regulatory authorities, which includes three phases of clinical trials before being approved for use and licensed. These licensed vaccines are also regularly reassessed. Vaccines are tested in laboratories and in animals and their effects are observed. These tests are then followed by clinical testing programmes in humans that can last for up to 10 years from the initial concept to authorisation.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) plays an important role in this procedure because it interacts with developers of potential COVID-19 treatments and vaccines and it also makes use of real-world data to monitor the safety and effectiveness of medicines used to treat patients with COVID-19. It also helps Member States and the Commission by taking quick and coordinated regulatory action on the development, authorisation and safety monitoring of COVID-19 treatments.
Marco Cavaleri, Chair of the EMA’s COVID task force : “There are many vaccines undergoing clinical trials at the moment, each using different platform technologies, and all presenting interesting features that could provide a diversified portfolio of options. The mRNA vaccines from Moderna and BioNTech/Pfizer are certainly among the most advanced, and the clinical data on their efficacy and safety is already available. The EMA has started a rolling review of these two mRNA vaccines and could come up with a positive opinion for at least one of them to be approved as early as the end of this year.” – Read the full interview of Marco Cavaleri
The EU’s vaccine standards and approval procedure consists of six major steps: first, vaccines undergo laboratory tests to assess their pharmaceutical quality, then they are tested in non-clinical trials on animals before clinical trials on humans are initiated. After this, the evaluation and manufacturing procedures take place. Once a vaccine has been authorised, further studies are carried out on its safety and efficacy (see Figure 1). After it has received EU-wide marketing authorisation, decisions about pricing and reimbursement take place at national and regional levels: the EMA has no say in these decisions.
Marco Cavaleri : “The EMA has started a rolling review of vaccines where data are assessed as soon as they become available, which allows us to save time as the assessment can progress continuously until the last set of data is submitted. This process is rather intense and time-consuming but allows the timelines for assessment to be compressed without any compromise in the quality of the regulatory review.”
Once a vaccine has been authorised for use in the EU, the EMA and the Member States continuously monitor its safety and take action if new information suggests that it is no longer as safe and effective as previously thought.
Industry-independent post-authorisation studies are currently being funded by the Commission and planned by the ECDC and EMA. Such studies should consider the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products.
Dr Kari Johansen, from the ECDC : “Many new vaccines are expected to become available in the Member States, but they may not be equally effective in all age and target groups. We still have a lot to learn, and studies that go beyond the routine safety monitoring available in all EU/EEA countries are therefore needed, and are indeed already planned.” – Read the full interview of Kari Johansen
Chinese and Russian vaccines
China and Russia were the first to approve their COVID-19 vaccines in summer 2020 after working to develop them as quickly as possible, and have faced widespread criticism and scepticism as a result. According to a paper published by Canadian scientists in The Lancet, the lack of data from phase III trials raises concerns about safety. Following the Ebola outbreak in 2013, the WHO put in place a rapid evaluation procedure that speeds up the introduction of a new vaccine. This means instead of waiting years for clinical trials to progress, vaccines can be subject to emergency approval. However, neither the Chinese nor the Russian vaccines were developed in accordance with the WHO’s Emergency Use Listing procedure, so it remains unclear whether they meet its manufacturing quality norms and standards.
Marco Cavaleri : “The EMA has not has not yet assessed the data relating to the quality of these vaccines. The timeframe for their development does not differ much from what we have seen for the vaccines we usually deal with. The speed of development is not a cause for concern, as long as all the required tests have been conducted.”
Dr Kari Johansen : “The Russian and Chinese vaccines have both been recommended and used without there being any results available from the phase III clinical trials currently underway. We are now waiting for those results, but we have no reason to believe that they will be worse than for any other vaccine candidates in development and which use the same type of technology.”
Vaccine confidence and hesitancy
Marco Cavaleri : “Vaccine hesitancy is a threat to vaccination campaigns against many serious pathogens, and could also play a detrimental role in the current pandemic.”
The possible impact of vaccine hesitancy must be considered. According to the recent survey on COVID-19 vaccination intent carried out by Ipsos, a majority of adults in France (54 %), Spain (64 %), Italy (65 %) and Germany (69 %) would get vaccinated if a vaccine were available. On the other hand, 48 % of respondents in Spain worry that rushed clinical trials might compromise a vaccine’s quality.
European institutions are working together to tackle the spread of misinformation around COVID-19 vaccines, and politicians have a role to play in making people feel confident about taking the vaccine.
Marco Cavaleri : “The Commission, the ECDC, and the relevant authorities in Member States need to work together to make sure that there is a proactive approach to communication on vaccines. The EMA is committed to providing accurate and transparent scientific information on the benefits and risks of any vaccine that is approved.”
Dr Kari Johansen : “Politicians can help ensure that adequate human and financial resources are set aside for the required studies at the EU and national levels. Once the vaccines are shown to be safe and effective, each country needs to put adequate resources into rolling them out, including using websites at the governmental, public health, and regional and local levels in the relevant languages, and other reach-out activities may be needed.”

Scotland Yard has said it will review allegations that British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked, groomed and abused women and girls in the UK.
Maxwell, 59, the former girlfriend of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and other charges in the US over her alleged role in procuring four teenage girls for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 2004. She is currently in a US prison awaiting trial after proceedings were delayed until autumn.
Channel 4 News said an investigation has found more than half a dozen claims that young women and girls are alleged to have been targeted, trafficked, groomed, or abused in the UK by Epstein and Maxwell over a period spanning more than a decade.
The news outlet said some victims have provided detailed accounts of their experiences, adding that the evidence comes from a combination of publicly available documentation, witness accounts, and interviews.
Channel 4 News said the alleged offences include serious sexual assault and rape.
The Metropolitan police said they always consider any new information and that they will review the information put to them by the broadcaster.
Nazir Afzal, the former chief prosecutor for north-west England, told Channel 4 News: “From what I’ve seen, there is clearly enough evidence for the police to investigate more thoroughly than they have done up to now.”
The Metropolitan police service (MPS) said they always take allegations of sexual offences and exploitation seriously.
In a statement, the force said: “The MPS is clear that it will investigate allegations where there is sufficient evidence of an offence having taken place, where it is the appropriate authority to do so and where those against whom the allegations are made are alive.
“The MPS stands by the statement by Commander Alex Murray issued at the end of 2019. This confirmed that the MPS had received an allegation of non-recent trafficking for sexual exploitation against a US national, Jeffrey Epstein, and a British woman in 2015 relating to events outside of the UK and an allegation of trafficking to central London in March 2001.
“Officers assessed the available evidence, interviewed the complainant and obtained early investigative advice from the Crown Prosecution Service.
“However, following the legal advice, it was clear that any investigation into human trafficking would be largely focused on activities and relationships outside the UK.”
The Met said officers therefore concluded that the MPS was not the appropriate authority to conduct inquiries in these circumstances and, in November 2016, a decision was made that this matter would not proceed to a full criminal investigation.
Officers reviewed the decision making from 2016 in August 2019 following the death of Epstein, and concluded that the position should remain unchanged.
“We will always consider any new information and will review the information sent to us from Channel 4,” the force said.

- KEY MESSAGE: A large, 53-kbp, intact DNA fragment was inserted into the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome. FISH analyses of individual transgenic events revealed multiple insertions of intact fragments. Transferring large intact DNA fragments containing clusters of resistance genes or complete metabolic pathways into the wheat genome remains a challenge. In a previous work, we showed that the use of dephosphorylated cassettes for wheat transformation enabled the production of simple integration patterns. Here, we used the same technology to produce a cassette containing a 44-kb Arabidopsis thaliana BAC, flanked by one selection gene and one reporter gene. This 53-kb linear cassette was integrated in the bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome by biolistic transformation. Our results showed that transgenic plants harboring the entire cassette were generated. The inheritability of the cassette was demonstrated in the T1 and T2 generation. Surprisingly, FISH analysis performed on T1 progeny of independent events identified double genomic insertions of intact fragments in non-homoeologous positions. Inheritability of these double insertions was demonstrated by FISH analysis of the T1 generation. Relative conclusions that can be drawn from molecular or FISH analysis are discussed along with future prospects of the engineering of large fragments for wheat transformation or genome editing.

Installing carpet in your home or a new three piece suite for example can be quite an investment, so it is well worth your while protecting your investment by properly caring for them. Daily maintenance and routine professional cleanings will help to ensure that your carpet, as well as your home, is fresh, clean and healthy.
Not only will professional cleaning help to extend the life of your carpets and upholstery, but here are just a few other benefits from having them cleaned.
Carpets in particular are notorious for becoming a home for allergens, dust particles and bacteria. Professional carpet cleaning helps to remove dust mites, bacteria and other allergens, which ultimately helps your family breathe easier and reduces the risk of colds and other health problems.
The rooms in your home are more like to become unpleasant and stuffy when the carpet is clogged with dirt and dust. Regular vacuuming simply cannot remove all of the debris, which is why you should have your carpet regularly cleaned. With clean carpets, your home will have improved airflow and air quality.
Improved Look & Feel
As dirt and dust build up in the fibres, it causes them to become matted, which makes the carpet look old and worn as well as feel rough and flat, regardless of how much padding is underneath. Expert cleaning helps to keep the dirt and dust from tearing away at the fibres in the carpet, which ultimately makes them look better and feel softer for a longer amount of time.
We provide Carpet & Upholstery cleaning from our base just outside Malton, including Helmsley, Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Driffield & Pocklington.

text: The route of Helicobacter pylori transmission remains unclear and the currently suggested route is person-to-person transfer by faecal-oral and oral-oral mode. The aim of this study was to verify the presence of H. pylori in esophagus and saliva of humans. Saliva samples, mucosal biopsies from esophagus, gastric antrum and fundus were collected from 19 patients with positive Urea Breath Test (UBT). Gastric biopsies were used for H. pylori colture and antimicrobial susceptibility tests whereas saliva samples were collected to detect H. pylori with a Nested-PCR targeting 16S rRNA gene as well as esophagus biopsies which were also investigated with immunohistochemical staining. Helicobacter pylori was isolated in 18 patients both in gastric antrum and fundus. The molecular analysis, confirmed by comparative sequences evaluation, gave positive results in all saliva and esophageal samples whereas the immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of H. pylori in 15.8% (3/19) of the esophagus samples. Our data suggest that saliva and esophagus may be considered reservoirs for H. pylori in humans and emphasize the need to use more susceptible techniques for H. pylori detection, in particular in over-crowded sites. Identification of the transmission route of H. pylori is crucial in developing an effective plan of surveillance by finding new means of disease management.

Being forced into an arranged marriage, Alice dreams about true love. At her engagement party, a White Rabbit appears and takes Alice on a disorienting journey to a new world: Wonderland. She is spun around and around on a revolving stage until she lands in front of a writhing, hissing, black-clad punk-rock Caterpillar who reveals her destiny: she will free Wonderland from its oppressor.
Flying actors, circling stage, loud music, fantastic costumes and state of the art light effects: The Freedom Theatre’s unconventional adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s legendary novel is its largest and most technically advanced production to date. Alice in Wonderland combines dance, music, acrobatics, circus and comedia dell’arte, using real and virtual scenography, video projection, extraordinary lighting and mirrors to transform the whole theatre hall into a Wonderland.
In The Freedom Theatre’s version, Alice escapes a reality of poverty, oppression and conservatism where she is constrained to doing chores in the home. In Wonderland Alice meets magical creatures that mirror her personal life and experiences, forcing her to reflect on her identity. She struggles with who she is and what is “right” or “wrong”, “normal” or “abnormal”. Wonderland is such a strange, dangerous world – yet Alice realizes that the other world, which purports to be the real one, is the one where she is robbed of her freedom. As she journeys through Wonderland, she grows and learns how to make her own choices.
The illusionary characters in Wonderland reflect reality but at the same time turn it upside down. By doing so the performance shines a different spotlight on today’s Palestinian society. It is a subversive, radical, humorous, extravagant, larger-than-life production that manages to tackle issues such as the position of girls and women in the community, while simultaneously questioning many of the social restrictions that limit the roles available to both women and men.
Alice has an energetic verve and visual originality that would rival the most daring European and U.S. productions—including the Red Queen’s rousing lip-synch of Blondie’s song ‘One Way or Another’ (‘I’m gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha’) and a sexy tango at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to Freddie Mercury’s ‘I Want to Break Free.› – Theatre Communications Group…
It will be our biggest scandal yet, I hope. – Juliano Mer Khamis
The production of Alice in Wonderland received support from Al Jazeera Children’s Channel. In 2011 the Acting School programme was supported by Sida, Freedom to Create and UNFPA.

From Boston to Hong Kong, some of the greatest minds in public health gathered virtually on Tuesday to discuss the science behind COVID-19 to an audience of students whose lives have already been reshaped by the ongoing public health crisis.
Researchers and health experts shared their understanding of the causes as well as the present and future states of COVID-19 in a Zoom seminar entitled “COVID-19: State of the Science,” hosted by Boston University’s School of Public Health.
Four speakers each gave a presentation on their distinct field, and SPH professor David Hamer moderated a Q-and-A session. Hamer said in an interview before the panel that the purpose of this forum was to examine the disease through a variety of expert lenses.
“We’re trying to have a balance of different kinds of people that can discuss different aspects of the disease and the epidemic,” Hamer said. “It’s a high-level view of what we’ve learned about COVID-19 during the last six to nine months since the pandemic started.”
Hallie Prescott, an associate professor at the University of Michigan, discussed the severity of COVID-19 and some of the biologic mechanisms behind acute illnesses. Her presentation also centered around post-pandemic ailments.
“For the people who get COVID and survive,” Prescott said in an interview before the panel, “there’s a lot of people who are having lasting issues or slow, longer term recoveries.”
Gabriel Leung, dean of medicine at the University of Hong Kong, focused his presentation on the epidemiology of the disease. Drawing on his previous experience with the 2003 SARS outbreak, Leung said his research examines the cluster, or “clumpiness,” effect of the pandemic.
“SARS 1 was very clumpy,” Leung said during the discussion. “In fact, the term ‘super-spreading event’ really got popularized through that epidemiological investigation of SARS 1.”
SARS 2 is better known as COVID-19, Leung said, and Hong Kong’s biggest clusters emerged from social settings like bars and weddings.
Gabriela Gomes, a professor of mathematics and statistics at the University of Strathclyde Glasgow, focused on the mathematical trends behind the spread of COVID-19 in different geographic areas and according to population susceptibility.
Gomes spoke about the future of her models of immunity in heterogeneous communities, saying that she sees a possible development of their use throughout the world.
“Non-pharmaceutical interventions have a large impact in reducing the impact of this first encounter with the virus,” Gomes said. “And then you see what we projected for England, Portugal and Spain.”
Panelist Caitlin Rivers, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, shared a public policy approach and spoke about creating a research and development program for various aspects of the medical response to COVID-19.
Rivers spoke about the U.S. response to the onset of the pandemic and noted the lack of interventions such as testing, contact tracing and isolation policies.
“We were severely constrained in our ability to test people for the virus,” Rivers said. “In the slow rollout of the diagnostic capacity, we really missed the window to be able to control the outbreak through case-based interventions.”
SPH graduate student Walae Hayek said she felt the seminar was useful and informative to the BU student population.
“I think that it’s a great community forum,” Hayek said, “so that people can be updated and people can understand exactly what’s going on in terms of what we’re doing as a school and what we’re doing as part of the community.”
Hayek said she believes it is the duty of BU’s student population to be aware of their impact on the surrounding city.
“I think, as students, that we should be responsible … for what we’re doing in the communities,” Hayek said. “We are a part of the Greater Boston area and so we have a responsibility that we’re protecting not just ourselves.”

Justice Secretary Menandro Guevarra on Sunday, July 28, said the National Bureau of Investigations (NBI) will probe the alleged massive corruption in the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
“The DOJ [through] the NBI takes it upon itself to conduct an investigation into alleged anomalies in the operations of PCSO-licensed gaming operators, particularly the non-remittance of the proper share due the government and including any possible involvement or corrupt practices on the part of PCSO officials and or employees,” Guevara said.
The investigation is being made after the President ordered the suspension of all PCSO lotto and gaming operations on Friday evening due to alleged anomalies in the agency.
“I believe that until this investigation is completed and people responsible for cheating the government have been unmasked, PCSO gaming operations such as lotto and small town lottery (STL), which are otherwise legal, may not resume,” the Justice Secretary added.
Guevarra further stated that the President’s order stopping PCSO operations emanates from the latter’s “constitutional duty to faithfully execute our laws, if not from the inherent police power of the state.”
PCSO officials on Saturday announced that they will comply with the President’s order but will also appeal for the resumption of the agency’s operations.

Published in 2010
The phrase “think globally, act locally” may have become a bumper sticker cliché, but now more than ever we grapple with questions of scale. Climate change looms as an overwhelming global threat. Despite good intentions, small actions like changing our light bulbs and biking to work might not matter in mitigating this threat. In this time of economic uncertainty, many environmental organizations are forced to scale back their efforts, even as environmental issues become greater concerns. Meanwhile, locally-focused living is gaining in popularity as more of us examine the ecological, economic, and health costs of our national food production and distribution system. As activists, educators, ecologists, and organizers, should we continue to focus our energies on local movements, or do we need national and international action to bring about necessary change?
How do we confront questions of scale in our often tumultuous relationship with the natural world? An ever-expanding list of endangered species compels us to ponder our role in the extinction of organisms that evolved over vast scales of geologic time and geographic scope. Even as we attempt to prevent these losses, we struggle to measure biological diversity at spatial and temporal scales that may not overlap with the ones that govern ecosystem processes. Innovative concepts like hierarchical patch dynamics are reshaping the way we study and perceive biological communities. The growing field of nanotechnology operates at the molecular level, providing potential improvement of – and threats to – life on a whole new scale. While the atoms themselves may move in an infinitesimal world, the changes they effect may have planetary and interplanetary repercussions. Systems thinking and cybernetics contribute notions of fractals and chaos theory that wholly transform our notions of scale.
Whole Terrain seeks personal, reflective explorations of the interplays of scale in today’s changing environmental movement.

Bring bear spray, travel in groups and make some noise. You are in Grizzly country here and it is rare you don't see foot prints in the trail if you look. Prepare to suffer on the way up and love it on the way down.The further out you go, the steeper and looser it gets. This is true big mountain riding. Trail conditions vary widely, you are remote and you are not the top of the food chain. This trail gets heavy horse use from local dude ranches. It is best ridden in the evening after the dudes head off to dinner.
Look for the large memorial next to the highway and using the parking lot just behind it, towards the river. Ride the bridge across the river and look for the trail heading off to your left where you immediately cross the creek either on a small foot bridge or by getting your feet wet.

I love newborn photos (obviously), but the only thing that can make them cuter is adding the family dog to the mix. This beautiful little baby happens to have the kindest parents and Auntie a girl could ask for, but she also happens to have a sweet big sister/dog.I think I almost died from the adorableness of the two of them cuddled up on the bed together. Love my job.Oh, if this isn’t love, I don’t know what is.
You know, I really love maternity sessions. I say that every time I do a maternity blog post, but it’s SO true. This beautiful couple was eagerly anticipating the birth of their baby boy, and it was so much fun to share in their joy and excitement. Well, the little one has made his appearance and I get to take their first family portraits next week!Can’t wait!
I have SO many beautiful sessions that I need to blog but I’m getting a bit behind on it this summer. With the kiddos home from school and me trying to turn my clients’ images around quickly, blogging has had to take a backseat. With that being said, I’m carving out a bit of time to get some images up this week because quite frankly, all these beautiful families are just too adorable not to share! First up, this precious baby boy who is joining the sweetest family ever.
We took a quick trip to Virginia beach last weekend. I’d never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but we had a great time! And of course no vacation is complete without me annoying my kids with a quick photo session!I think they sat still for me for all of one minute before they ran into the waves, but that’s OK because I always love the natural, fun pictures best anyway. Enjoy!
The girls are into “posing” for me at the moment. LOL.I used my beat up old camera b/c I would not dare take my “real” camera to the beach. This one has some major focusing issues, so even this messy feet shot isn’t tack sharp, I still love it.
This session just leaves me speechless. This beautiful mama and her lovely little girl are just as sweet as can be. There is so much love between them. And the light. Sigh. So perfect. I can’t wait to meet the beautiful baby girl mama is carrying later this summer!

University at Albany couldn’t buy a basket for most of its America East Conference game with the University of New Hampshire Tuesday night at SEFCU Arena.
The cold-shooting Danes connected on a season-low 13 field goals, including 1-for-13 from three-point range, while the Wildcats shot nearly 50 percent from the floor and made seven of 14 shots from beyond the arc en route to a 62-53 victory that was more decisive than the final score indicated.
UAlbany (1-11, 6-21) lost its eighth straight game, its longest losing streak in the Division I era. The Great Danes lost nine straight as a Division III program in 1954-55.
Alvin Abreu scored a game-high 22 points for the 4-7, 9-13 Wildcats. Tyrone Conley added 12.
Albany was paced by Fran Urli and Mike Black with 14 points each. Will Harris chipped in with 12.
“That was a really, really good win for us,” said UNH head coach Billy Herrion, whose team snapped a three-game losing streak. “It’s the stretch run, and we came off a tough week.
“We beat Vermont two weeks ago, but we lost to Binghamton in overtime and then lost to Boston University and Hartford. I didn’t know where we were emotionally, but we’re a good defensive team, and I think that our defense was the key to our win.”
Albany got off to a quick start when Urli nailed a pair of hook shots in the lane and then added a free throw for a 5-0 lead, but UNH went on a 12-0 tear to move ahead of the Danes for the rest of the half.
Albany had a chance to grab the momentum just before the half when Scotty McRae drove the baseline and dunked over a UNH defender, but the basket was taken away, and he was called for an offensive foul.
After Harris tipped in a missed shot to start the half and cut Albany’s deficit to 27-24, the Wildcats eventually began to pull away.
Conley scored on a driving layup and a slam-dunk to give the Wildcats a 39-28 lead, and Abreu nailed back-to-back three-pointers to help UNH open up a 45-30 cushion with 12:20 left.
The Danes prevented a blowout by continually getting to the foul line. They still only had 10 field goals until the final two minutes, when Harris made a layup, Tim Ambrose converted a three-point play and Black hit the team’s only three-pointer to cut the deficit to 60-53 with 35.2 seconds left.
Abreu’s two free throws with 22.6 seconds remaining sealed the win.
“We’ll keep trying to figure it out,” said Albany head coach Will Brown about his team’s inability to make shots. “The shots we missed are mind-boggling. This year, we have to find ways to survive offensively and defensively. We don’t have enough offense to make runs, and basketball is a game of runs. Our saving grace was free throws.”
Harris, who had his best game since returning from a knee contusion two games ago, said he feels things will turn around.
“Our shots are not falling, but in my experience of playing basketball all these years, you can’t miss forever. Eventually, the shots will start falling, and they will fall in bunches.
“We’ve got to keep our heads up. We have players who can make shots, but it’s just that they aren’t falling, right now.”

DISCUS, Grocers Withdraw Oregon Privatization InitiativeApril 29, 2016
An Oregon ballot initiative aimed at allowing spirits sales in grocery stores has been abandoned by its backers, including the Northwest Grocery Association and the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. (DISCUS). The move was cheered by local independent retailers and suppliers, who’ve organized under a group called Oregonians Against the Takeover.
“We intend to take a step back and consult with our local producer and wholesaler partners in order to achieve a unified position,” said DISCUS president and CEO Kraig Naasz, citing the necessity of “addressing the needs of both small and large suppliers, distributors, grocers and, importantly, Oregon’s consumers.”
In recent days, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) announced that it will allow 14 new retail venues in the Portland area—including four Walmarts—to sell liquor under its “open recruitment” program, which is intended to increase access to spirits without full privatization of the system.Subscribe to Shanken News Daily’s Email Newsletter, delivered to your inbox each morning.

Natural frequencies of stiffened cylindrical shells are investigated for short and long shells with clamped-clamped boundary condition. The semi-analytical finite element methods is used for the analysis. A cylindrical shell element with four degrees of freedom per node and two nodes per element is used. The stiffness and inertia matrices for the vibrating array of stringers has been obtained from the stiffness and inertia matrices of a single stringer and added to the stiffness and inertia matrices of the shell. The frequencies obtained by this method is compared with existing experimental and theoretical results and found to give reasonable accuracy. The effects of number of stringers and ring stiffeners on the natural frequencies of the shell are investigated. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.


President Donald Trump has referred to some people who cross the US-Mexican border illegally as “animals” – drawing a sharp rebuke from Democratic leaders for the harsh rhetoric.
Trump’s remark at a meeting with local leaders from California was in response to a complaint about gang members.
“We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in – and we’re stopping a lot of them,” Trump said during the immigration round table after a sheriff commented about gangs.
“You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals.”
Senate Minority Leader and Democrat Chuck Schumer responded on Twitter to the president, saying, “When all of our great-great-grandparents came to America they weren’t ‘animals,’ and these people aren’t either.”
Trump was joined at the Wednesday White House meeting by mayors, sheriffs and other local leaders from California who oppose the state’s immigration policies and who applauded his administration’s hardline efforts.
They were criticising legislation Californian Governor Jerry Brown signed into law last year that bars police from asking people about their immigration status or helping federal agents with immigration enforcement.
Jail officials can transfer inmates to federal immigration authorities if they have been convicted of one of about 800 crimes, mostly felonies, but not for minor offences.
The Trump administration has sued to reverse the so-called “sanctuary” legislation.
Trump claims the laws are forcing the release of illegal immigrant criminals, drug dealers, gang members and violent predators into communities and providing “safe harbour to some of the most vicious and violent offenders on earth.”
Brown responded on Twitter, writing that Trump “is lying on immigration, lying about crime and lying about the laws of CA.”
The Democratic governor added: “Flying in a dozen Republican politicians to flatter him and praise his reckless policies changes nothing.
“We, the citizens of the fifth-largest economy in the world, are not impressed.”

Nyirrunggulung-Rise was happy to see all who attended the latest chainsaw training at Bullman. The course consisted of community members from Bulman and Wemol, along with help from the Mimal Ranger’s. See all the pictures from the training.
The fellas at Beswick put their welding skills to good use and built a slow cook oven. It was made from scrap metal and is amazing to see a usable item made from scrap items. Also, the team at Manyallaluk have used their welding skills to create a BBQ. Well done fellas!
The fellas at the second half of Machine Training at Beswick have gained confidence and skills. All the team put their efforts into helping the community by improving local tracks. Well done to all that participated.
