Local schools declare themselves safe spaces for students
Two local school districts, Hueneme and Oxnard Union, have declared themselves safe spaces for students who are in the country without legal permission.
This month, the districts' boards unanimously passed resolutions saying they will not provide information on their students' immigration status to government officials.
"There's a lot of anxiety and fear about potential changes to immigration policy," said Penelope DeLeon, superintendent of the Oxnard Union High School District. "We felt this was something we needed to address as a district."
Officials in both districts cite a state Supreme Court case saying students have a constitutional right to a free public education, regardless of their immigration status. The reasoning behind the 1982 decision: children have little influence over their immigration status.
Since Hueneme and Oxnard Union passed their resolutions, Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of schools, has encouraged all school districts to declare themselves safe havens for students and their parents.
“Unfortunately, since the presidential election, reports of bullying, harassment, and intimidation of K-12 students based on immigration status, religious, or ethnic identification are on the rise,” Torlakson said in a letter sent to school officials Wednesday.
The letter also notes that districts cannot release a student's records to law enforcement without a parent's written permission, a court order or a subpoena.
The Oxnard Union and Hueneme districts do not ask families about their immigration status.
But many families don't know that, said Christine Walker, superintendent of the K-8 Hueneme district.
"After the election, we had kids as young as first grade coming to school saying, 'We're going to have to go back to El Salvador' or wherever," Walker said.
Statewide, families only need to prove that they live in the district to enroll their children in public school, said Robert Oakes, a spokesman for the California Department of Education.
"They're not supposed to release immigration status," Oakes said. "But I don't know why they would ask because it's not related to residency."
Still, the resolutions may reassure students who are worried that they, or their families, could be deported, said Karen Sher, a member of the Oxnard Union school board.
"Without that feeling of safety and security, it's hard to do anything else," Sher said. "It's hard to love, to learn, to be productive."
Maria Lopez, 16, a junior at Channel Islands High School in Oxnard, said the resolution makes her feel a little less worried.
"We know for a fact that we will not be in danger in school," said Lopez, who is undocumented. "We know we can come to school and not have to think: 'Maybe this is the day' or 'Maybe this is not the day.'"
Students' families, however, may not find the resolution as reassuring, she said.
"We're in here, and they're out there," Lopez said. "ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is not allowed in here. Outside, it's different."
The Los Angeles and Sacramento City unified school districts recently passed similar resolutions.
The Oxnard Union resolution specifically says the district will develop a policy to respond to any requests from ICE for students' immigration status. The Department of Homeland Security has said the federal agency can only go on a school campus with a supervisor's approval.
"They will have to go through me," DeLeon said.
Hueneme's resolution goes beyond students who are undocumented to say the district will protect students regardless of their faith or sexual orientation.
"We're reaffirming that our schools are inclusive," Walker said. "We're not in the business of civil disobedience, but we want to protect the rights of our students."
The Oxnard Union district is adding students' immigration status to its policy on discrimination and bullying. That policy also includes a student's gender, sexual orientation, religion and race.
The resolutions are supported by Future Leaders of America, an organization that prepares low-income students to become leaders in their communities, said executive director Eder Gaona-Macedo.
"We want to give families some peace of mind," he said. "I hope it catches on. It promotes the idea that we'll keep our educational institutions sacred — free of fear and free of anxiety."
Future Leaders plans to approach the Oxnard elementary and Carpinteria school districts to see if they would consider passing their own resolutions, said Gaona-Macedo, who grew up undocumented in Santa Barbara.
"I remember feeling like all the doors were closing on me," he said. "What students will go through in the next four years will be very difficult. It's healing to see we're all being embraced as one community."


points (old school) vs. HEI (new school)
I just bought a 66 GTO Tripower, factory A/C, power brakes, steering, etc. I am working through the engine/ exhaust issues to bring it back to a more original look, better running vehicle. I plan on driving it at least weekly. One question- go old school (which I am) with points, etc. or change to a more modern ignition system (which I drive everyday in my truck)? I don't want visible changes under the hood, but more reliable, and less maintenance concerns are on the HEI's side. I understand I can get an HEI system that should pretty much drop in as a replacement for the current distributor. Any expert opinions out there?

Since Amanda Byrd’s election as Miss FAMU, a court trial has come about stating that she was assessed enough demerit points before the election to be disqualified.
The trial, Scarlett Williams vs. Electoral Commission, was held April 7 in the Embassy Room. Vincent Evans, counsel to Williams, said he had been asking for an appeal since Feb. 29, which was 39 days.
“The time is always right to do right,” Evans said in his opening remarks.
Evans said Williams requested in the appeal to have Byrd retroactively withdrawn because of the amount of points assessed for violations of the elections rules and procedures.
According to the new points system approved by the Electoral Commission and Student Senate, a violation occurs if campaign materials are seen anywhere within the 50-foot mark of a voting precinct on voting day. Each violation is 35 points. Once 50 points are reached, the candidate stands a chance for disqualification.
Evans said Byrd had two counts of violation regarding the 50-foot range violation. This equals 70 points.
Evans went on to explain that the reason for the appeal against the Electoral Commission is because the commission did not do its job.
“The basis is because the E.C. has failed to follow the Student Body Constitution and the rules and procedures it’s governed by,” he said. “They didn’t assess the points right.”
In the Electoral Commission’s defense, Attorney General Dominique Bercy said in her opening remarks that she would prove that the Electoral Commission did do its job correctly and followed the rules and procedures.
While the plaintiff presented six witnesses, the defense presented three.
Evans presented to the court several memos of violation on the opposing ticket’s behalf. According to witnesses, some of Byrd’s campaign members were campaigning within the 50-foot line of two precincts: one located at the new pharmacy building and the other at Dyson pharmacy.
Bercy said while the plaintiff did present information saying that the Electoral Commission did not assess points, there was a reason why they were never assessed.
Bercy said since all of the precincts were not labeled correctly on each precinct entrance, the Electoral Commission disregarded the 50-foot violation for one day. That day was February 26.
“Almost every candidate had that (50-foot violation) problem,” Bercy said. “Scarlett feels it was not fair.”
Bercy said if the Electoral Commission assessed those points for Byrd, everyone else would be assessed points as well because the precinct entrances were not labeled right.
“You can’t just disqualify one person,” she said. “You can’t just forget one person. Keep in mind that Scarlett and Byrd were not the only candidates for Miss FAMU, there was also Denishia Yearby.”
The verdict was not released at press time and will be posted online.
“Rather Miss Williams wins her case or not, the system is broken,” Evans said. “They (E.C.) are voting one way in the fall and in the spring they vote different.”

Goals and Methods
We aim to achieve therapeutic precision in musculoskeletal pain management.
Our approach is systematic, personalised and evidence-based.
In treating various musculoskeletal aches and pains, we employ a range of remedial massage and soft tissue therapy techniques, for example Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Acu-pressure, Sports Massage, Myofascial Release (MFR), Muscle Energy Technique (MET), Positional Release and Assisted Stretching.
Dry Needling is an integral part of our treatment plan in order to maximise the effectiveness of a remedial massage therapy.
I am well aware that forcibly digging into soft tissues is not the most desirable approach when dealing with soft tissue aches and pains. I proactively suggest the most suitable combination of techniques and modalities rather than simply leaving the selection of a modality to a client.
I have helped many of my clients improve their ongoing tension headache and various musculoskeletal aches and pains caused by bad posture, soft tissue degeneration, injury, or surgery.
Qualifications & Training
I am a fully qualified remedial massage therapist (Diploma of Remedial Massage, South Metro TAFE) with a qualification in Dry Needling.
I am also currently studying acupuncture and moxibustion full-time at Endeavour College of Natural Health.

April is National Poetry Month!
In first grade we are learning about poetry by playing the paper bag game. I don’t tell the students what we are going to be studying for the next few library lessons. Instead I introduce poetry with a game – The Bulldog Paperbag Game!
When I was in Canada in February, I stayed at the Bulldog Hotel.
Of course, the Bulldog Readers Librarian would stay at the Bulldog Hotel, right?
It was actually a coincidence, but when I got this bag for something I purchased, I knew it would come in handy at some point! Our poetry game was the perfect use for my bag.
The object of the game is to become observers, by using their senses, but not their sight! Their observations would become a poem.
Then I selected four objects I had in the library and had them ready to place in the bag.
After I blindfolded a volunteer, I had the student reach inside the bag and describe what they felt.
As each student described what they felt, I wrote their words on a piece of chart paper. Then we took the blindfold off and the students had the chance to guess what was inside the bag. The name of the item became the title of the poem.
Shaped like a square
After writing four of these descriptions, I asked the students what we were writing. We had several guesses, until someone said, “A Poem!” That was followed by, “No, that’s not a poem. Poems have to rhyme!”
It was the perfect transition to the idea that poems can be written about anything or in any style, rhyming or not! Stay tuned for next week’s lesson on writing group poems about an object.
The idea for this lesson came from the book, Joyful Ways to Teach Young Children to Write Poetry by Jodi Weisbart.

For nature lovers, botanical-themed décor is an easy way to create an enjoyable indoor living experience. Proper botanical themes should be soothing and tranquil, yet vibrant and fresh. While it does take some trial and error to create a harmony with your botanical themes, with patience and the right design pieces, it can be done without having to paint or call in an interior designer.
With that being said, we are going to take a look at some ways that you can quickly and easily create a botanical-themed room using accessories, art, and textiles:
Wall art can significantly change the décor style of your home. Whether you prefer multiple small pieces or a large one, it can work well depending on the layout of your room. It’s easy to hang multiple botanical art prints on the wall. Paintings or drawings of greenery and lovely flowers can add some visual excitement to your room. Because botanical art prints are typically affordable, they will suit your style and budget. If you want maximum visual impact, make sure that each piece of wall art highlights one another.
Decorating your home with rugs is an easy way to add botanical elements to any room. Choose rugs with delicate botanical prints or green leaf-like shapes. If you choose the right rugs, it is easy to add some outdoor touches to your interior. In many designs and decors, the floor is an often-overlooked part, although it could add visual appeal to your room. It could feel as though you have stepped onto a bed of flowers and green leaves.
You can use throw pillows with botanical prints on rugs or couches. Infuse natural beauty with pillows that have leafy or floral prints. It is an easy way to add botanical elements and colours into your interior. Be sure to choose colours and patterns that match with the rugs or couches. For a nice pop of colour, choose white pillows with bright green leaves.
Framed Pressed Leaves
This is a simple DIY project that you can do at home. Frame actual leaves, them place on the shelf or hang on your wall. If you are hesitant about adding houseplants to your interior, framed leaves can add the look of actual plants without the extra maintenance.

Dr. David Samadi is one of the most reputed experts of Robotic Surgery in the United States and is the Chairman of Urology and Robotic Surgery at the renowned Lenox Hill Hospital located in New York City. He has been a medical contributor to Fox News Channel for a long time and recently announced that he would be starting a new show by the name of ”Sunday Housecall with Dr. David Samadi”. The show would help the viewers stay well informed about the latest happenings in the world of medicine and provide treatment tips for various health issues. The show would be aired live on Sunday on Fox News at 12.30 PM Eastern Time.
Dr. David Samadi’s show on Fox News would also host guests from the health and medical world who would discuss various topics related to health with Dr. David Samadi to provide in-depth perspective to the viewers. There are many common health questions that the people are looking for, but due to various reasons and hectic lifestyles, these questions tend to take a backseat or are left unanswered. The Sunday Housecall with Dr. David Samadi is a show that is meant to address such questions and ensure that the people are provided with the knowledge and information they need to take care of their health and take any corrective measures if necessary.
Follow Dr. David Samadi on Twitter
However, the show doesn’t have any particular health topic as its focus as it aims to discuss a broad spectrum of health topics, starting from food and diet to men and women’s health and from prostate health to sexual well-being, and more. Just about any trending issues in the field of medicine would be covered under the show, and Dr. David Samadi aims to create a more extensive awareness about health and well-being among the audience. Dr. David Samadi welcomes the viewers to call during the show that would be aired live or e-mail their questions to him so that he can take up these questions with the guests and provide relevant answers.
Dr. David Samadi is certified and trained in both open traditional as well as laparoscopic surgery and has also mastered the art of robotic prostate surgery. He has started many initiatives in the community he serves for the better awareness about the importance of health screenings and prostate cancer screenings and treatment. It is because Dr. David Samadi has come across many cases that could have been treated successfully, only if the patient could have come earlier.

Again I read in Mr. Rodrick’s column (“Marilyn Mosby’s experiment in ‘progressive prosecution’ calls for patience, something in short supply in crime-and-grime-weary Baltimore,” June 11) that it is alleged that Baltimore Police officers do not arrest for offenses for “on view” public drinking/urination, drug possession/selling, prostitution and other so-called minor offenses because Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has decreed that such offenses will not be prosecuted. If such a decree was issued by the State’s Attorney’s Office when I was sergeant with the Baltimore Police Department, I would have laughed at such a ludicrous display of hubris. Since when does the state’s attorney declare laws and ordinances null and void? For another matter, her office doesn’t control the police department; she isn’t the police commissioner. Plus, if State’s Attorney Mosby’s assistants refuse to prosecute a legal, probable cause arrest, that is on her office. When the complaints come in about police not legally clearing the drug corners, or enforcing public drinking outside of a bar and with pedestrians being harassed, she can handle the outrage.
If Baltimore Police officers have been told not to arrest for certain offenses because the perpetrators will not be prosecuted, than shame on a department that I served in for almost 24 years, 17 as a sergeant/supervisor. The officers I supervised would have done more “letter of the law” arrests if told not to do their jobs, and left discretionary policing by the wayside when it came to the offenses that would not be prosecuted.
There is nothing “progressive” about State’s Attorney Mosby’s decree about what offenses would not be prosecuted. Better she come up with a legal way for the department to get illegally carried guns off the streets of Baltimore by involving the people in those neighborhoods that suffer the most from gun violence. Oh, by the way, is chronic plea bargaining by her office, “progressive”? Or is it that cases are disposed of in this way in consideration of practical expediency rather than legality?

Deeds transfer property from one party to another. The overwhelming majority of real estate transactions use just three types of deeds to transfer title, and there are differences that could affect your ownership status down the line, especially if you elect to use the wrong type of deed.
The main differences are the level of warranties provided — or if any are provided at all. Warranties are special guarantees that would make the seller liable should there be certain title defects, which could amount to problems with the new owner’s right to hold interest in the property.
- What is a Deed?
- The 3 Types of Deeds
- Key Differences Between Property Deeds
- What Do I Need to Properly Execute a Deed?
- How to Add or Remove a Name to a Deed
Deeds are legal documents that transfer title between one person and another. While title means that you own something and have the right to use it, it’s a concept and not an actual document. The deed is the paper-and-ink form that legally carries over ownership. In essence, deeds can be thought of as a special legal vehicle driving ownership (interest) from a grantor to a grantee.
When signed and properly executed, deeds are legally defensible. But deeds must fulfill some general requirements:
- A deed must make a declaration that it is a deed, perhaps by saying “this deed…”;
- it must describe the property in question; and
- there must be operative words or words showing intent on the part of the grantor to convey title to the grantee.
There are three main types of deeds involving property:
General warranty deeds are the most common deeds used and afford the most guarantees and protection for buyers. The seller offers a binding promise, called a warranty, that the seller holds clear title to a piece of property and has the authority to sell it. It also — and this is, perhaps, the most important distinction — provides title guarantees not only for the period of time that the current title holder owned the property, but also for the entire period of time stretching back to the property’s originations.
General warranty deeds are common in your typical real estate transaction, especially when buyers obtain financing. In some cases, it’s possible to create a general warranty deed without the help of a lawyer.
A special warranty deed provides less coverage than a general warranty deed but guarantees a clean title for the period of time that the current grantor owned the property.
In situations with a special warranty deed, a seller or grantor may not be familiar with the history of the property before they took ownership, so they can’t guarantee that there were any title defects before they took possession. They do, however, guarantee that during the time they owned the property, all was ship-shape.
A quitclaim deed’s sole purpose is to painlessly transfer a grantor’s interest in property to another person — without any protections. A quitclaim doesn’t include any warranties or guarantees, and the grantor is not liable for any defects. A quitclaim does not even guarantee that the party transferring interest is the real owner of the property.
Quitclaims are most often used to transfer property between family members. In the case of divorce, ex-spouses may use a quitclaim to remove one party’s name and interest from the title.
“Executing” a deed means to sign with all preconditions in place. Signing requirements for deeds vary by state, but generally, real estate deeds require the following to be legally defensible:
- Signature of the grantor
- Witness signature(s)
- Acknowledgement by a notary public
For your state’s deed signing requirements and recording locations, visit here.
When there are modifications to who holds title, the deed must be changed. And whether you’re selling a home to a new owner or wish to add your spouse to the deed, the process is similar.
If you bear sole title to a property and want to add your partner to the deed, you, the grantor, would write out a new deed transferring title from yourself to yourself and the new owner.
When it comes to removing a name, this can’t be done passively — meaning both parties must agree on a change of ownership, or there must be a court order. When two legitimate owners agree to transfer title to one party, it’s common to use a quitclaim, which will release one party’s interest.

Stand Tall by Rhona Lewis (Tfutza Publications, 2020)
Reviewed by Shira Yael Klein
This book was captivating. I read most of it in one sitting. (It’s a good thing someone called and I had to get up to get the phone. I was supposed to be working!)
The book focuses on the characters’ moral conflicts, moral choices, and quests to discover their true identities and goals. The question of what to do with something non-conventional in your past is explored at length through two characters. Do you hide it, flaunt it, or something in between? How will people react? The book gave the topic a nuanced and realistic treatment. (Hint: not everyone reacts the same).
There are at least two bona fide three-dimensional characters. I was actually most captivated by a secondary character, Rivka. I loved how while she essentially doesn’t rise to the real challenge, she is none the less working tremendously hard, with unflagging determination and genuine inner strength, at what she thinks she’s supposed to be doing. And she even succeeds. Sort of. Things go right even though she’s wrong. Interesting. Complex. The way real life is.
There’s a great makolet (neighborhood grocery store) scene, where two characters clash while doing their morning shopping. The author got it so right. I loved the contrast between the homey and familiar shopping experience and the understated tension between the characters.
I liked that while the book ended on a positive note, it wasn’t a Perfectly Happy (read, utterly unrealistic) ending. The book was well written (and edited — I’m an editor, shout out to the editors and proofreaders).

Greens take a cue from financiers
Environmental ‘derivatives’ encourage creative, proactive conservation.
In 1990, Congress amended the Clean Air Act to address the problem of acid rain. Allowable emissions for sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), two major components of acid rain, were capped. Emitters then traded a shrinking number of permits – the right to emit these pollutants – on a market. Supply and demand dictated the price.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
By 2002, SO2 emissions from power plants had dropped by 41 percent compared with 1980. NOx emissions fell by one-third compared with 1990. Overall, emissions were reduced much more quickly and cheaply than doomsayers had forecast. A 2003 study by the Office of Management and Budget found that the program had produced more measurable benefits to human health than any other major federal regulatory program of the previous decade. Benefits surpassed costs by more than 40 to 1.
Today, the cap-and-trade program is widely cited as proof that the efficiency and creativity of a free market can be harnessed to protect the environment. Its success seems to indicate that environmental regulation need not squelch economic growth. Many now anticipate a similar approach to – and success with – the much larger-scale problem of carbon emissions.
Some also urge that more market tools be applied to conservation. The environmental problems facing humanity are so large that traditional approaches no longer suffice, they say. Market-based tools that incentivize conservation before situations become dire must be developed and applied.
One such tool from the financial world: derivatives. Derivative-like products could help manage the risks and costs of habitat degradation and species extinction, for example, by providing insurance of sorts should an at-risk critter experience further decline. An approach like the cap-and-trade program that curbed acid rain might also lessen bycatch in fisheries. But most important, say proponents, putting a price on “green infrastructure” – the natural world – makes businesses include clean air, clean water, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity in their operating costs.
Driving this trend, say experts, is a growing awareness that natural resources are not infinite. The significance of the now-ubiquitous images of melting ice caps has sunk in, they say. Adam Davis, president of Solano Partners Inc., an environmental investment consulting firm in San Rafael, Calif., says businesses are realizing that scientists’ warnings were correct: Human well-being depends on healthy, functioning natural systems.
Among those who view stewardship of nature as a moral obligation, there’s some skepticism about market-based approaches. Why should anyone profit from doing the right thing? Proponents counter that these approaches aren’t meant to supplant those obligations, but to provide an additional avenue for action.
“I wouldn’t want to get rid of the ethic to conserve,” says James Mandel, lead author of a recent paper on biodiversity derivatives in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. “We just want to make the process more efficient.”
The traditional approaches to conservation – philanthropy and government intervention – no longer suffice.
“The scale of the problem is so enormous that our traditional philanthropic approach is not even going to make a dent,” says Nathaniel Carrol, project director at Ecosystem Marketplace, an information aggregator. Where to get the extra funding? Investors. And, says Mr. Davis: “if private capital is going to come in, you’ve got to have a fair return on the investment.”

India asks Pakistan for certificate on Kulbhushan Jadhav's health condition
India has sought from Pakistan a certificate on the health condition of Kulbhushan Jadhav, sentenced to death by a military court there, the External Affairs Ministry said on Thursday
New Delhi: India has sought from Pakistan a certificate on the health condition of Kulbhushan Jadhav, sentenced to death by a military court there, the External Affairs Ministry said on Thursday.
MEA spokesperson Gopal Baglay said that the well being and state of Jadhav's health is a "matter of great concern" to India as the former Indian Navy officer has been in Pakistan's custody for more than a year on charges of espionage.
"We haven't seen, we haven't met (Jadhav). He has been in Pakistan's custody for more than a year. So the well being and state of health of Jadhav is a matter of great concern.
"We have asked Pakistani government earlier also, and yesterday our High Commissioner (to Pakistan Gautam Bambawale) made a request on providing a report on his medical condition. So we await Pakistan's response," Baglay said.

Rare and amazing vintage watch that is fashioned like a lapel brooch. This piece is signed Beacon Viceroy and was probably made in the 1950's. It is quite large, measuring 3 1/2" long and 2 1/8" wide. The watch hangs from a hinged piece below a fancy jeweled top giving it a French feel. Inline safety catch at the back. The rhinestones sparkly like crazy and this is a really awesome piece of finery.. very unusual to find a watch like this. There is a second hand that moves with each beautiful ticking sound. It is marked Ingraham. How romantic to pin this to your lapel over your heart.. I cannot emphasize what a special piece of jewelry this is. Beautiful vintage condition with no missing stones. They all sparkle like crazy. No wear to the metal. A singularly spectacular piece. Perfect for Steam Punk fans.. It transports me to another time and place... sigh....

Kansas City Early Education Funders Collaborative
The KC EEFC formed in 2014 with the vision that all children in Greater Kansas City are ready for kindergarten. The mission of the EEFC is to support the development of a high-quality early learning system that prepares all children living in poverty, especially children of color, for success in kindergarten and beyond. In 2016, the EEFC launched the Early Education Grant Fund, a collaborative funding opportunity for programs in Kansas City. The Fund aims to increase access to high-quality early education and development programs for lower-income families and children of color. Grants typically range from $30,000 to $500,000 and are awarded to organizations serving children ages birth to five in the KC metro area. Organizations might include providers, support organizations, advocacy, home visiting, teacher development, and more. Since 2016, more than 20,000 children have been impacted through more than $10 million in funding. The Fund supports a wide range of programs serving children ages birth to five, including providers, support organizations, and advocacy efforts. In addition to the Fund, the EEFC comes together regularly to learn from one another, hear from community stakeholders, and engage with experts in the field.

If you have a toilet long enough, you will likely encounter a problem with your toilet flush valve. Below is a listing of the most common ailments to help you diagnose your problem.
Problem 1 – Worn Out Parts
As with any mechanical thing—whether a complicated new car or a relatively simple piece of plumbing—wear and tear always takes its toll on moving parts. Some of the parts that may well wear out on a toilet include the following:
- Handle attachments that work as plugs in the tank’s bottom
Problem 2 – Defective Parts
Similarly, flappers, tank-balls, seals and flappers may be defective when you buy them. However, there's no real way of knowing if you have defective parts, even if you install the toilet yourself. After all, parts can look perfectly fine on the surface, only to turn out defective after put into use. Nevertheless, there is always the possibility that one of your common toilet parts may be defective.
Problem 3 – Damaged Valve Seats
Oftentimes, the valve seat—the rim of that big hole at the bottom of the tank—is rough or pitted.
Problem 4 – Damaged Overflow Pipe
Sometimes the overflow pipe can develop a hole or get split. It's always a good idea to examne your toilet parts now and again. That way, you might be able to spot an overflow pipe before it gets too big of a hole, or split.
Problem 5 – Damaged gaskets
Gaskets beneath the flush valve can also oftentimes get damaged and cause problems.
Problem 6 – Incorrect Parts
As problematic as damaged or defective parts are, incorrect parts can also be an issue. For instance, perhaps the wrong flapper type is connected to your toilet. And if your toilet is a Kohler brand, for instance, this make can only work with a specific flapper. When it comes to toilet flappers, the one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t fly.
Problem 7 – A Long Chain
Many times, if the strap or chain is too long, it can get tangled beneath the ball or flapper. Always make sure to use the exact right length chain or strap to prevent such tangling. You might want to consult with your local hardware store to make sure the toilet you use has the appropriate chain. If you have excessive chain length, you're almost asking for trouble.
Problem 8 – Something Stuck Under the Ball or Flapper
Sometimes a bowl cleaner might get stuck beneath the ball or flapper. And if there are small children in the home, almost anything can become lodged there. It almost goes without saying, but always keep the toilet seat down to prevent objects from accidently falling in.

I been on the list since Halo 3.
I’ve played multiple Halo betas and tests. I’m ready for the Infinite. I need the Infinite bad. Will Halo Infinite finally hit the nostalgic feeling that I can’t barely feel anymore from Halo 2 or Halo 3 days? Recently Grrrty and I have been playing through the MCC and it’s great.

2019 Gaming Was All About Shootin'em In The Face!!!
I’ve played some great games in 2019, but I’ve also played some shit ones. I’m still not sure if we are seeing NEW stuff in video games other than Death Stranding. I didn’t play Death Stranding, but I did watch a lot of people play it all the way through. Kojima has not ever really been my shit you know. Borderlands 3 is great and is one of my favorite games from this year. After playing through all of the other Borderlands games in 2019, I didn’t see much new video game innovation. Plus this is the first Borderlands game where I didn’t like any of the 4 vault hunters. Still, I think it is one of the best games of this year. GrrrtyGirl and I had the best time ever playing through all of the Borderlands.Read full story...

Almost 2 hours of non-stop videos and only a few highlights. It's still hard to find a reason for Xbox.
Halo: Infinite was announced at the beginning of the show but nothing was really revealed about the game. Speculation, please. Here is the trailer that was shown.
There was a Fallout 76 Trailer presented by Todd Howard. The trailer did not reveal anything about the game. It looks amazing, I guess they did mention that the map was 4 times the size of Fallout 4.
We were reassured that Crackdown 3 is still coming out with a new trailer of Terry Crews screaming and yelling. It didn’t look that good. Forza Horizon, it’s cars, it’s bullshit. No interest in this at all. Devil May Cry 5 showed off some of the combat which made up for the not so great graphics I was seeing.
Kingdom Hearts 3 new trailer with the Frozen Characters.Read full story...

There is no video of me. There is only video of the new Halo. Behold.
This is not what I was expecting at all. Just a few minutes of actual gameplay and what they showed was not good at all. I don’t want to bitch, I definitely don’t want to bitch, but there was nothing, nothing in that trailer that had me in awe. No cool explosions like the Ratchet and Clank, no innovative new matchmaking or battle royal/big team battle gameplay mode. Just 117 shooting some grunts, elites, and brutes. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.Read full story...

The biggest game of the holidays?! In 2021...
First of all the source link has a ton of info about customization and the multiplayer map. Go check it out if you want to read all of the details. Halo has struggled in 2020 losing multiple key designers, directors, and producers. In the Summer 343 released a trailer for Halo Infinite that was not well received at all. I was one of those people. I didn't understand how or why it looked like I was barely watching a HD remake version of Halo CE. Of course, I am really hopeful that the new Halo is incredible and I might get the chance to bring the boys back together for another run on a great game that I have so many memories from.
Here's a look at the multiplayer stage.

It really doesn't matter that no more than a cut scene was shown at E3, I'm in!
Unfortunately, no new gameplay here. And I’m afraid we have some bad news. Now it’s possible some version of Halo Infinite will be on Xbox One, but Microsoft needs to sell that new console. This is definitely an Xbox Scarlett game and I’m not sure if we will get to see any Halo Infinite actual gameplay until next E3. Until then, here’s a little teaser.
Halo will always have a special place in my heart. Here’s to a great game and an old feeling! Let’s Go!!!
Halo Infinite is currently expected to be released Holiday season 2020.

Periyava Puranam presents
Sri R Mullaivasal Krishamurthy Sastrigal – PART 1
Mahomahopadhyaya Brahmasri Mullaivasal R Krishnamurthy Sastrigal hails from a family of distinguished Vedic scholars and anuṣṭhātas and a special mention needs to be made of his own father Salakṣaṇa-veda-vidvān Brahmasri Rajagopala Ghanapatigal of Mullaivasal who had dedicated his entire life to the teaching of Vedas and was always seen revelling in the recitation of the Vedas, especially the Upaniṣads, the bhāṣyas, the Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhārata day and night.
Mahomahopadhyaya Brahmasri Mullaivasal R Krishnamurthy Sastrigal has taken us with him on a journey to the world filled with his experiences with MahaPeriyava.
Here is an introduction video :
- Mama’s appa Brahmasri Rajagopala Ghanapatigal of Mullaivasal was praised by Sri MahaPeriyava as “akAmahatha (one who has no desires to fulfill) Srouthigal”
- His appa was the first blessed one to receive Golden Thoda from Periyava
- Mama had his first darshan of Periyava in 1961
- Periyava was in Vijaya Yatra and was in Kanchipuram coming near Kachabeswarar temple and an elephant went into musth (யானைக்கு மதம் பிடித்தது). Periyava got down from the Mena and touched the elephant and it became clam.
- Mama describes Periyava as “Yogeeswarar” , ” Gnani” and further explains who is “Gnani” and who is “Yogi”
- Periyava honoured mama with the title “Veda Bhasya Ratnam” and mama regards that title received from Sarvagynar Periyava as the biggest award that he could get in his life.

Unemployment in Wales has risen for the third consecutive month, latest figures reveal.
New statistics show an increase of 5,000 in the last three months of 2010 compared to the previous quarter.
The Welsh rate of 8.4% compares with a UK average of 7.9%. Over the year, unemployment in Wales dropped 1,000 to 123,000 at the end of the year.
Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones said the figures show the fragile nature of the jobs market and economy.
Figures released by the Office of National Statistics show employment in Wales has risen by 10,000 on the quarter and the numbers of people who are economically inactive has fallen by 13,000.
The number of people claiming jobseekers' allowance in Wales in January went up slightly to just over 71,000.
All but one of the 22 local authority areas showed falls in the claimant count rate in January 2011 compared to the previous year.
The only one not to see a fall in the rate was Cardiff, while the largest were in Merthyr Tydfil, Blaenau Gwent and Monmouthshire.
Reacting to the figures, Mr Jones said the small increase in the claimant count showed that the nation's economic recovery had a long way to go.
He added: "Despite the tough financial settlement we have received from London, our focus is 100% on supporting the Welsh economy and doing all we can to create employment throughout the country and helping our private sector to grow."
Last week the Welsh Assembly Government announced a £5m support scheme, Adapt, which it said would provide training, advice and guidance to public sector staff facing redundancy.
It extends the ReAct scheme, set up in October 2008 to help private sector employees facing redundancy during the recession.
Both employees and employers can call the contact centre on 0800 100 900.
