Start to Finish
This week was the end of two big projects and the start of one.
I finished Kyle’s wedding dress with two weeks to go. Phew! Once I’d finished removing all traces of 1980’s Victorian splendor and was ready to rebuild it as Kyle’s dress I couldn’t take scissors to the crazy expensive lace fabric. I had to sit down with my head between my knees and pray for guidance. Never underestimate the power of prayer because the dress is complete, fits like I knew what I was doing and she’s beautiful.
When he saw Kyle in it Tom confessed he had no idea what the dress would look like or if I’d be able to make it in the time we had. I had to tell him I didn’t know what it would look like either since we just sort of made it up as we went along. I was able to repurpose more of the original dress than I thought, the outer layer of chiffon with rows and rows of ruffles and lace is now the lining, with a few layers of frills removed it works perfectly.
I still have to hem my dress which is so long I think it was made for a basketball playing cross dressing man. We’ve cut off enough from the three skirts to use the fabric as part of the table decorations.
Buying that dress was the star crossed unicorn sighting of frugality. Kyle and I were at JoAnn’s buying wedding dress supplies and popped into the Plato’s Closet next door. I wasn’t too worried about finding anything since I had the dress I wore to her university graduation in England where Prince Charles (President of the University board) might have been on hand to hand out diplomas. If you want dress buying anxiety shop when you think Royalty will be in the neighborhood to see you in your purchase.
So with Plan B hanging in my closet I confidently parted the waters of a store full of teen bargain shoppers there for Plato’s “Fill a Bag Sale”. Spotted two possibilities on the prom dress rack. One, a navy that looked like Audrey Hepburn wore it in Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a size 6. Wishful thinking I know but I grabbed it to try on. The second dress was at least four sizes bigger than I normally wear. I said no, Kyle holding it up to me said yes.
Audrey was a NO. No surprise there, but Kyle’s pick fit perfectly. I wasn’t sure, Kyle checks the price tag $25. There was no way she was letting me out of the dressing room before I said yes to the dress. She was not repeating the Prince Charles shopping marathon. So we wait in a line stretching to the back of the store where I discover the dress is now 70% off. That’s right, I paid $7.95 for the second dress I tried on to be mother of the bride. It still had the original tags on and we looked it up on line and found I’d paid about what the tax would have been if I’d paid the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. I followed it up with the eureka moment of a pair of unworn navy pumps at Goodwill.
I splurged and blew every bit of dress buying frugal serendipity in that one purchase but I think it will be worth it.
The other project coming to a close is frost seeding Kimball. Three 50 gallon drums of seed are now spread and waiting to germinate. Not as exciting as dress success but satisfying when the cows have a new green pasture to enjoy.
That leaves me time to spring clean. Kyle started with her room and the rest of upstairs. Tomorrow I can wash all the curtains and hang them out, when they come back in they will smell heavenly. Detergent manufacturers add any amount of perfumes to their products but nothing beats the scent of freshly washed laundry that’s hung outside in sun on a breezy spring day to dry.
What are your spring plans? Candy


LOS ANGELES — Jafra Cosmetics International has stayed within the direct-selling fold with the selection of its new chief executive officer.
Frank Mineo, who was most recently president worldwide of Blyth-owned, direct-sales candles and accessories company PartyLite, has assumed the Jafra ceo post following the retirement of Eugenio Lopez-Barrios. Before his 13-year run at PartyLite, Mineo worked for seven years at Jafra, where he had been controller for the U.S. and, separately, for Europe.
"It was just one of those things that really excited me from the moment I heard about the opportunity. It is kind of like going back to the high school that you graduated from as a principal," said Mineo. "It was about giving back to the company that taught me direct sales, bringing so much more to them with much more experience."
The Jafra that Mineo returns to is, in some respects, a different place than the one he entered 20 years ago. German direct-selling vacuum and kitchen company Vorwerk & Co. KG bought Jafra in 2004 for an undisclosed amount from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Inc., a New York private equity firm that had acquired Jafra from The Gillette Co. in 1998.
"Gillette not being a direct-selling company, they really never entirely understood the division called Jafra," said Mineo, who reports to Markus von Blomberg, a managing partner at family-owned Vorwerk. "The Vorwerk companies are direct-selling companies for the most part. The leadership of Vorwerk gets direct selling. It makes it much more favorable to be the ceo."
Throughout the ownership changes, the story of company's 1956 founding by Jan and Frank Day — the married couple that combined their names to spell Jafra — with the product Royal Jelly Milk Balm Moisture Lotion has remained central to Jafra's message. Pictures of the Days line the walls of Jafra's Westlake Village, Calif., headquarters and a bottle of the first lotion sits in a case right outside Mineo's office.
Although still important to some loyal customers, Mineo indicated that the story of the company's founding might not resonate with younger consumers. He said his challenge is to make Jafra relevant to that younger group that's not as aware of the brand's history."When I told some young people about my new job, they said, 'I remember [Jafra] because my mother used your product.' I would like them to say, 'I am using your product,'" he said. "Clearly, we need to keep engaging all kinds of people, all different ages, all different ethnic backgrounds, all different economic backgrounds."
Mineo emphasized that another of his key goals is to deepen Jafra's penetration in the U.S., where it sells in only nine states and has a robust customer base in cities with sizable Hispanic populations. Jafra's largest market is Mexico, followed by the U.S. and Europe.
"The U.S. hasn't moved much in the last 20 years. It was successful 20 years ago, [then] Mexico definitely outpaced it," said Mineo. "We are not as strong as we would like to be in certain pockets of this country."
In fiscal year 2006, Jafra generated $493 million in net sales, up 13 percent from $436 million in the prior year. That increase is consistent with the high single-digit to low double-digit growth rate the company has experienced for the last several years.
To foster future expansion, the company recently entered Russia and will soon enter Indonesia to kick off its push into Asia. The company already enlists 500,000 consultants to sell its products and tries to identify emerging countries such as Indonesia where women are hungry for jobs.
"We offer them opportunities to explode out of the gate with great success," said Mineo, who will undoubtedly learn if the same goes for ceo's.

an artwork you (and I) will never see in person passes by just beyond your touch
its meaning, intent, content and craft registered — traced over by the swipe of a finger.
pure conceptual art has found its home in the age of the internet
as has purely decorative or mimetic art.
we’ve moved from museum as a cultural framing device for art, to the screen as the framing device and in the process we’ve potentially begun the process of limiting art (and the possibilities of art) to only that which resembles or reflects what we already know art to be (what it looks like). Context, or the art we see around other art, provides us with a means of assessment.
(but we’ve also democratized the experience of art in this contemporary framework and connected more people to more art than any generation in history— ) In some ways we’ve detached art from the financially rooted art market, further establishing its sociomaterial value but we’ve also created a visual economy in the process. Images as currency or commodity and it’s important to note that in most cases these are images of representations of ideas or images of images- Plato and Baudrillard have both warned us of this…
Why is this what I’m thinking about and compelled to type as I scroll through my phone with my first morning espresso?

Our hotel is the first Hotel in Mexico with Eco-rooms by Green Suites.
- Water Saver Devices.
- Bathroom amenity dispensers featuring: Biodegradable and hypoallergenic quality soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner.
- Energy-efficient compact fluorescent solutions from partners such as GE Lighting.
- Recycling receptacles.
- Linen and towel reuse programs with informative EcoCards featuring interesting EcoFacts to encourage guests to participate and help conserve the planet’s natural resources.
- Non-toxic, low-odor cleaning products.
Recently spent two days at the hotel and was surprised to see the hotel actively engaged in environmental practices. There was literature in the room indicating that the rooms were what were called “EcoRooms”. Apparently the room had been retrofitted with energy efficient lighting, water efficient showerheads and sinks, they use soap dispensers to reduce waste, use non-toxic cleaning supplies and much more. They even had a recycling receptacle in the room. What a shock! Rarely do you see things of this sort in the US, but to see it in Mexico really pays tribute to the hotel’s environmental awareness. Kudos to them. Personally, any hotel that is that active in helping environment deserves my business and that of anyone I know. You can bet that I’ll be staying at the Posada El Rey Sol every visit to Ensenada.

A converged infrastructure reference architecture (CI reference architecture) is a document that specifies the components, design and configuration pf a converged or hyper-converged appliance, which includes storage, compute and networking resources within a single-box system.
Ideally, a reference architecture should be comprehensive and precise, specifying product numbers for components, for example and including best practices. Reference architectures are usually written as instruction manuals and are considered products in their own right. The documents range from dozens to hundreds of pages in length.
By following the guidelines, an organization can create their own converged or hyper-converged appliances, rather than purchasing a vendor's appliance. For a vendor, a reference architecture is faster, simpler and cheaper to produce than a physical product.
Companies that offer CI reference architectures include HP, NetApp, Hitachi Data Systems and EMC.

CASE LAW - R v Ashir
The case of R v Ashir answers the question "Do I have to slow down in a school zone if it is a Pro-D Day?" The definition of "a regular school day" was examined by Judicial Justice Gordon during the dispute of a traffic ticket for speeding in a school zone on Oswego Street in Victoria.
Abdul-Razzak Ashir was checked driving at 48 km/h in the posted 30 km/h school zone in the 100 block of Oswego Street during school hours on Thursday, June 11, 2009. In his defence, he raised the issue that Crown had not proven the offence date was a regular school day.
Justice Gordon decided what a school day would be using this logic:
 In my view, “regular school day” has a broader meaning in section 147 (1) than whether on the specific day, there were students in attendance. I conclude “regular school day” has a statutory meaning, not a factual meaning. That expression is not defined in either the Interpretation Act or the Motor Vehicle Act. So I have taken my guidance from the School Act, RSBC 1996 c.412, and its Regulations. Section 1 of the School Act defines school day as “any one of the days in session” and days in session (abridged) as “the days in a school year in which teachers are scheduled, in the school calendar, to be available”. I found the School Calendar Regulation, B.C. Reg. 114/2002, to be of greatest assistance. Section 6 of that Regulation requires a Board to operate each school in accordance with the school calendar. Schedule I (Supplement) to the Regulation sets out the school calendar for 2008 / 2009 and it lists March 23 as the day that school reopens after Spring Vacation and, with the exception of 3 single-day holidays not relevant to this matter, June 26 as the day school closes.
Mr. Ashir was convicted for speeding in the school zone.
Since that time, both the School Act and the School Calendar Regulation have been amended.
"Regular School Day" is no longer defined in the Act. The time period now defined is a School Year:
"school year" means the period beginning on July 1 and ending on the following June 30;
The School Calendar Regulation defines both a Day of Instruction and Days in Session:
"day of instruction" means, in respect of any school, a day in a school calendar year in which students receive instruction in an educational program;
"days in session" means, in respect of any school, the days in a school calendar year on which the principal, vice principals, directors of instruction and teachers of the school are scheduled to be available for instructional, non-instructional or administrative activities;
Also worth mentioning
For decades, a school zone would only be in affect between 8:00 am & 5:00 pm, on days when school was regularly held.
But these days, municipalities may extend those hours (though not reduce them) which makes a lot of sense if kids are typically present using the playing fields and other facilities at the time.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker has taken action to make Illinois “the most progressive state in the nation for women’s reproductive rights.”
“Thanks to the courageous advocates across our state, (House Bill) 40 is the law of the land,” Pritzker said at a Jan. 22 press conference with Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, Attorney General Kwame Raoul, state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago) and others at Planned Parenthood’s Near North Health Center in Chicago. “I was proud to stand with you in that fight because a right is only a right if it can be exercised by everyone.”
“I’m proud to sign an executive order that will further protect and expand the right to choose in Illinois — and that will fully implement all the provisions of HB 40,” Pritzker added.
The governor’s executive order ensures the state fully enforces the house bill, which requires that all women in the state have coverage for abortions. The governor directed the state’s Department of Central Management Services to review all state employee group health insurance plans, identify barriers to women exercising their right to choose, and present recommendations to bring all health insurance plans into compliance with the law within the next two months.
The governor signed the executive order at Planned Parenthood, an agency promoting women’s reproductive rights.
“Women’s rights are human rights. It’s important that women have the right and ability to choose what is best for them and their bodies,” Stratton said. “(This executive order) makes it clear that our state is a leader in that respect.”
“Every woman should be able to make her own reproductive health decisions, regardless of her employment or income level,” state Sen. Heather Steans (D-Chicago), the Senate chief co-sponsor of HB 40, said in a press release. “We fought hard to pass legislation protecting this right and I am glad we have a governor ready to enforce it.”
“Governor Pritzker has been unflinchingly supportive of women and our right to safe, legal abortion,” said Feigenholtz, state representative of the 12th District. “Even before he was elected, Gov. Pritzker was in the trenches with us fighting for our rights and understood what it means to provide fairness and equity to women regardless of where they get their insurance. (This) is further proof of his commitment to women’s rights and keeping abortion safe and legal in Illinois.”
“I look forward to working with Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton to ensure that all women have access to a full range of reproductive health care, including access to safe and legal abortion,” said Jennifer Welch, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Illinois. “With an ultra-conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, it is more critical than ever that Illinois is led by a governor who is unequivocal in his support of reproductive rights.
“Our new governor’s commitment to reproductive freedom and the health care provided by Planned Parenthood has been steadfast for decades. I am confident that Governor Pritzker and his entire administration will protect Illinois as an oasis for reproductive health care, not only for Illinoisans, but for all people in surrounding states who must travel to receive the care they need.”
“Gov. Pritzker has never wavered on a woman’s right to choose, and in one of his first acts in office, he’s committing to fully enforce HB 40 to ensure all women have access to reproductive health care,” Terry Cosgrove, president and CEO of Personal PAC, a contributor to pro-choice candidates, said in a press release. “Illinois leads the nation when it comes to reproductive rights and Gov. Pritzker will ensure it stays that way.”

Killings of mayors
TACLOBAN CITY-While they are concerned on the killings involving mayors, Leyte mayors still considers the incidents as ‘isolated.’
This was disclosed by Barugo town Mayor Ma. Rosario Avestruz, spokesperson of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines-Leyte chapter.
Avestruz, in a phone interview Thursday (July 5), was reacting on the killings just days apart of Mayor Antonio Halili of Batangas City, Bataan, and Mayor Ferdinand Bote of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija.
The incidents, which are still under investigations by police authorities, raised fears among mayors of the country.
“While we are concerned on these incidents, we still consider them as isolated case(s). We don’t see them as really targeting the mayors,” Avestruz said.
The Barugo mayor, who is serving on her first term, said that their league will convene sometime next week to formally discuss the matter.
Avestruz added that all of the 41 town mayors of Leyte will continue to have their police security escorts.
“We continue to support all the programs of President Duterte,” she said.
About 10 mayors of the country have been killed under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte among them was the mayor of Albuera, Leyte in 2016.
Mayor Rolando Espinosa was gunned down inside his cell at the Leyte sub-provincial jail in Baybay City on November 5,2016 by members of the Criminal Investigation Group (CIDG) purportedly to serve a warrant for illegal possession of firearm.
Espinosa was tagged by Mr. Duterte as among the country’s mayors who are in the illegal drug trade.
His son, Kerwin, is now detained at Camp Crame due to his alleged drug-dealing activities which he is denying.
Meantime, Marjorie Jaramilla, regional president of Mr.Duterte’s political party, PDP-Laban,downplayed the killing incidents involving some of the country’s mayors.
Jaramilla said that it is not the policy of the administration of Mr. Duterte to kill mayors or any one.
“I think it is not fair to blame the President on these killings. He has nothing in mind but for the goodness of the country and the Filipino people,” she said in a separate interview.
She also assured the mayors, at least in the region, that they have the support of the President as they implement their respective programs and projects.
She disclosed that more than 90 percent of the region’s 143 city and town mayors are now aligned with the PDP-Laban.

A once-prosperous Senegalese village has been falling further into poverty year by year until the village's elders are reduced to selling town possessions to pay debts. Linguère, a former resident and local beauty, now very rich, returns to this, the village of her birth. The elders hope that she will be a benefactor to the village. To encourage her generosity, they appoint a local grocer, Dramaan, as mayor--who once courted her and will now try to persuade her to help. In fact, Linguère has returned with the intention of sharing her millions with the village but only in return for an unexpected action.

Les Hyenes...the hyenas interested me because it takes place in Senegal. I like foreign movies because it is a way of travelling. But what a Senegal! The movie is laden with dystonic visual symbolism that resembles that 1920s version of the Bride of Frankenstein (I bet I am close believe it or not). In any case it is out of place in a poor 3rd world country..it looks like you are mocking them.
The result makes them look like they all wear flour sack clothes and live in absolute destitution. I doubt any of the cast truly understood the deep symbolism of having gold colored shoes made in Upper Volta? The deep symbolism is of course that they are slowly being corrupted into killing a man for money. Wow! What an idea lets use gold to show greed and sagging dirty French flags to symbolize?? The evil of colonialism? Beats me-- Senegal gained it's independence from France in 1960. This movie is supposed to take place in the 1980s. Must be a leftist stab at colonialism.
Oh the story.... a woman seeks revenge for having been dumped in her youth and forced into prostitution because she got pregnant and her lover wanted to marry someone richer. A Danielle Steele novel line. She some how becomes richer than the World Bank (an institution on the tongues of every peasant in Senegal). This prostitute acquires hundreds of millions of dollars (how? in a country like Senegal?) As mentioned earlier the movie is laden with too much visual symbolism...everyone starts wearing gold colored things (get it?) and their hair starts to look like a hangman's rope etc... It is the kind of downer visual symbolism that creates unease and a desire to get out of where ever it is as quickly as you can.
Poor Senegal if these are the only images people associate with it.
I gave it 2 stars because frankly some of the visuals are unforgettable including a Citroen deux chevaux convertible (it is not a Peugeot as another writer says).

It has long been famed as a subtropical paradise, with more than 400 different types of coral living beneath crystal clear waters in a far-flung corner of southern Japan.
Today, however, the future of Sekisei Lagoon – Japan’s largest coral reef – is in question after a new government report found that only one per cent of its coral is in a healthy condition due to global warming.
The decline of Sekisei Lagoon, which stretches over an expanse of more than 26 square miles in a remote area of southernmost Okinawa, is attributed to bleaching due to rising water temperatures and coral-eating starfish.
It is a process that has been evolving for decades, with the overall volume of coral in Sekisei Lagoon reportedly dropping by as much as 80 per cent since the late 1980s, after being badly hit by a string of mass bleaching incidents.
Bleaching occurs when unusually warm water causes coral to expel algae, leading to the coral turning completely white.
The ratio of healthy coral had dropped from 14.6 per cent in 1991 to 1.4 per cent in Sekisei Lagoon Credit: AFP
The full extent of the current situation has come to light in a new government report, which analysed satellite photography and information from around 1,000 regional monitoring sites for the first time in 10 years.
The study found that the ratio of healthy coral had dropped from 14.6 per cent in 1991 to 1.4 per cent in Sekisei Lagoon today, with two other coral reefs surrounding nearby Ishigaki and Iriomote islands suffering from a similar decline.
“If coral reefs don’t recover, it means a loss of rich fauna for a variety of creatures and would have grave impact on the ecosystem in the region,” Chihiro Kondo, a ministry official, said.
Coral reefs are a vital component of marine life, acting as a buffer for coastlines during tropical storms as well as providing habit for countless organisms. Despite accounting for less than one per cent of the planet’s seas, corals are reportedly home to 25 per cent of marine life.
Incidents of bleaching have risen in recent years, triggered by abnormal environmental conditions such as rising sea temperatures causing corals to expel tiny photosynthetic algae, draining them of their colour.
Corals can regain their health if the water temperature drops, however, recovery has been slow in Sekisei Lagoon due several mass bleaching incidents, the most recent taking place in 2016.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses, affecting more than 40 million Americans. Anxiety, depression, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder all create a lasting effect on an individual's mind, body, and well-being. It is important to be aware that mental health medication can have side effects. There is a variety of different forms of anxiety medicine known to promote weight loss or weight gain along with numerous other side effects.
Xanax, Trazodone and Trazodone are the two most commonly used medications for anxiety. Xanax, also known as alprazolam and it is also available in cheap price which means you can buy Cheap xanax from our pharmacy, So it is used primarily to manage anxiety disorders such panic disorder.
Once the medication is dispensed, it crosses the blood brain barrier and regulates operation of the GABAA subunits alpha-1. Negative side effects occur after neuronal activation has reduced Xanax activity within the central nervous system.
Increased appetite can lead to a change in behavior
A shift in metabolism
Energy level fluctuation
The composition of the body changes
Cognitive impairment that lowers self-discipline
It makes it easier to create healthier meal plans
Reduced physical activity can be caused by fatigue

How to Avoid Weight Gain with Anxiety Medications
Track Medication and Diet
People who gain weight from anxiety medications tend to change their exercise routines and track their calories. It is difficult to determine if weight gain is caused by medication if someone isn't keeping track of calories. People who take anxiety medications may experience weight gain, or loss. This can be due to physical activity or calorie intake. These two factors can be adjusted to counter weight gain.
Adjust Xanax Dosage
People who take anxiety medication should try to receive the lowest possible dose. The dosage of Xanax, which alters the physiology and causes weight changes, should be decreased to reduce psychological effects and weight gain.
Side effects can be managed
Side effects are the reason that most patients taking Xanax will experience weight loss. Side effects can lead to constipation, fatigue, bloating, and weight gain in patients who take Xanax. Referring to a doctor can help you counteract the side effects of this medication.
Take a look at other options
Weight gain can be caused by taking too many supplements or medications. Xanax medication may cause weight gain. It is possible to stop taking unnecessary supplements. You can also ask your doctor to prescribe medication or supplements to prevent Xanax weight gains.
Longer-Term Xanax Administration
The most important thing to remember is that the more time a body takes to adjust to a medication the less severe side effects will be. It takes time for the body's adaptation to the daily presence of the drug. You should try to take a longer time with a new medication to determine if any unwanted side effects will disappear as your psychology adjusts.
How does Trazodone cause weight gain?
Trazadone, also called Desyrel, is an approved medication that can be used to treat depression. It is a serotonin inhibitor and antagonist. Trazadone is a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor. Combining the two can help with insomnia, depression, and even anxiety. Trazadone is prescribed by many doctors to treat opioid withdrawal.
Individuals who took Trazadone over a six-week period gained an average of 1.2 lbs in a clinical trial. While this isn’t a large weight gain, patients who were on Trazadone longer periods of times gained more weight. Due to its appetite-inducing and sedative effects, Trazadone has been known to cause weight gain.
A person who is depressed is more likely to not have a lot of appetite. Once a person starts taking Trazadone, they quickly realize that they will need to eat again. Individuals who start to take Trazadone may also experience weight gain.
Carbohydrates - What Are You Looking For?
Trazadone has been claimed by many to have an effect on the appetite for carbohydrates. Researchers have found a direct link between serotonin production and carbohydrates. You should be careful about your carbohydrate intake.
Trazadone has been used by many individuals for long periods of time. Many people experienced hormonal changes. The ability to gain weight is made easier by antidepressants. It is possible to make a change, even though it may be slow.
What is Anxiety?
The most common cause of anxiety is excessive worry and fear in non-threatening situations. A physician will perform a physical exam and ask about the patient's medical history to diagnose anxiety. If there is no physical illness, the doctor will refer the anxious patient to a mental-health professional. Since there are no lab tests that can diagnose anxiety disorders, there will be many tests.
Not feeling tired easily
Feelings of worry are difficult to manage
Trouble concentrating; mind wandering
Feeling restless, on the edge, and wound-up
Problems with sleep, such as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep and restlessness, unsatisfying sleep, or difficulty getting to sleep
Tension in the muscles
What Anti-Medications are Available for Anxiety?
There are many medications available to help with anxiety disorders. Atypical antidepressants as well as tricyclic antidepressants are the two most common anxiety medications that cause weight loss. SSRIs (also known as selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) and SRNIs (also known as serotonin reuptake and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) are two types of anxiety medications that can cause weight loss. The problem is that nausea is one of the most common side effects of both medications. This causes weight loss and can also cause loss in appetite.
What are anxiety disorders?
Anxiety disorders can be described as a group of common psychiatric disorders. They are characterised by fear and anxiety that do not diminish over time. Anxiety includes nervousness and restlessness as well as stress. An anxiety disorder causes emotional and/or physical distress which can interfere with an individual's daily living.
Untreated anxiety disorders can lead to social withdrawal, a loss of participation in daily life, and a reduction in career opportunities. A particular anxiety disorder affects over 18% of Americans.
What are the Different Types of Anxiety Disorders
There is a chance that people will experience co-occurring disorders like anxiety with bipolar disorder or depression. There are many factors that can cause anxiety. Anxiety can result from genetics, stressors in the environment, and brain changes. Anxiety can be caused by long-term trauma or stress. This anxiety then affects the person's mood.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
GAD patients suffer from excessive anxiety and worry for at least six month. GAD patients worry about work, family, relationships, health, the social interactions of their loved ones, as well as over work and other everyday issues. GAD can have a profound effect on a person's school performance, work ability, social interactions, relationships, and overall well-being.
People with panic disorder experience recurrent, unpredictable panic attacks. Panic attacks can be alarming because they are often unanticipated. They can strike suddenly and occur without warning. Panic attacks may present in many forms, such as:
Sensations of shortness or chocking
Feelings like impending doom
Trembling or shaking
Heart palpitations, a rapid heartbeat or increased heart beat can all be described as heart palpitations.
Feelings that you are out of control
Panic disorder patients will fret about the next panic attack and avoid places, people, and behaviors that could cause them. Most people will worry about panic attacks and this can lead to other problems in one's life.
Phobia is a Disorder Related to Phobia
A phobia can be defined as an extreme fear or aversion to certain objects and situations. It is an unreasonable fear of encountering the situation or object that you are afraid of. There are a few disorders that can lead to phobias. These include fear of heights, flying or blood, as well as certain animals and insects. Phobia sufferers will take precautions to overcome their fear, and they will feel severe anxiety if confronted by the object or situation they fear.
Social Anxiety Disorder
People suffering from this disorder feel anxious when it comes down to social situations or performance. People with social anxiety disorders will avoid social situations because they fear being judged. The intense fear and anxiety over social interactions can manifest in a range of situations.

This month the AARP’s Public Policy Institute, in conjunction with the National Conference of State Legislatures, released a new report that is of direct applicability to all those concerned about their New York long-term care plans. Entitled, “Aging in Place: A State Survey of Livability Policies and Practices,” the project is focused entirely on analyzing what states are doing (or not doing) to help seniors stay in their own homes as they age. As the report authors note, the vast majority of seniors prefer to age in place, but their ability to do so is in many ways dependent on how communities are designed and senior care programs implemented. Toward that end, the report took a look at land use policies, transportation services, and housing options across to country which are helping seniors meet their goal of avoiding the need to move.
When it comes to land use, the report found it crucial to integrate necessary services with transportation planning to reduce automobile travel. If older adults can more easily walk or otherwise reach necessary support services, they will be able to live in place longer. Also found to be helpful were requirements for implementing transit-oriented development within a half mile of transit stops and joint use of community facilities for senior centers and health clinics. Similarly, increased public transportation options are important to the efforts of many seniors to stay in place. “Complete street” policies are in place in some states requiring designs which allow travelers of all ages and abilities to navigate the street. The policy institute also suggested better coordination between human service transportation agencies. The coordination allows these agencies to do more with fewer resources.
When it comes to housing, many elder care plans are created specifically to help seniors have access to preferable living situations–usually outside of the nursing home. However, the AARP report found that there is a shortfall in affordable and accessible housing for seniors, making it difficult to avoid the institutional setting. To help, the authors suggested states make use of the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit programs to obtain more funds to increase the affordable housing supply. Similarly, developers should be encouraged to increase accessibility by altering building standards.
Our New York elder law attorneys know that our state has a long-way to go to help ensure all seniors can age in place. A comprehensive study last month (also from the AARP) actually ranked New York dead last in total percentage of at home care residents. In other words, more residents in our state as compared to elsewhere are forced to move out of their long-time homes and into alternative living arrangements to receive the day-to-day assistance they need.

Synthesis of highly elastic biocompatible polyurethanes based on bio-based isosorbide and poly(tetramethylene glycol) and their properties.
Bottom Line: The test results showed that the poly(tetramethylene glycol)/isosorbide-based elastomer exhibited not only excellent stress-strain properties but also superior resilience to the existing polyether-based polyurethane elastomers.Degradation tests performed at 37℃ in phosphate buffer solution showed a mass loss of 4-9% after 8 weeks, except for the polyurethane with the lowest isosorbide content, which showed an initial rapid weight loss.These polyurethanes offer significant promise due to soft, flexible and biocompatible properties for soft tissue augmentation and regeneration.

The endothermic transition at around 20℃ is melting transition of crystallized soft segments.24Tg was detected for all samples, as shown in Figure 4(a). The Tgs of PU1, PU2, PU3, and PU4 were −47.8, −45.8, −42.2, and −38.6℃, respectively, indicating that all PUs showed high elasticity even at low temperature. The resistance to heat of the PUs was examined by TGA, as shown in Figure 4(b). All PUs showed two-stage decomposition in the TGA thermograms, which was due to the existence of flexible alkylene and bicyclic units. It can be seen that the temperatures of 10% weight loss of the PUs decreased from 340℃ to 299℃ as isosorbide content increased, suggesting that all PUs were thermally stable and could tolerate sterilization.Figure 4.

- Minion (typeface)
Adobe Minion Category Serif Classification Garalde Old style serif Designer(s) Robert Slimbach Shown here Adobe Minion Pro
Minion is the name of a typeface designed by Robert Slimbach in 1990 for Adobe Systems. The name comes from the traditional naming system for type sizes, in which minion is between nonpareil and brevier. It is inspired by late Renaissance-era type.
It comes in PostScript format, and supports ISO-Adobe character set.
A unique feature is the support of Regular and Display optical sizes in Regular and Italic fonts. Different optical sizes have different stroke contrasts and details, designed to optimize texts for specific applications. Minion Black does not have italic counterpart.
Minion Expert is a separate font package that include fonts containing small caps, ligatures, old style figures, and swash glyphs. There are also fonts for dingbats (Minion Ornaments), and a Black-weighted font (Minion Black Expert). Swash fonts are included for only the 2 lightest font weights.
Minion Cyrillic was designed in 1992 by Robert Slimbach and was conceived as a non-Latin counterpart to Slimbach’s Minion typeface family. There were no Display-sized fonts, expert fonts, or Black-weighted fonts in this family.
The Multi Master version of the original Minion family, released in 1992.
Minion Std Black
An OpenType version of the Minion Black font, but includes features found in Expert versions of PostScript Minion Black fonts. In addition, character set was updated to support Adobe Western 2.
An OpenType update of the original family, released in 2000. The font was designed based on Minion MM, but with redesigns, which include slight changes to the selection of instances, and also alteration of font metrics.
The family comes with 3 (later 4, which adds Medium) weights each in roman and italic, 2 widths, and 4 optical sizes. The Black weight from Minion Black Expert was not included. Each font includes the expert glyphs and dingbats that were previously found in Minion Expert package (swashes available in italic fonts only), Cyrillic Glyphs from Minion Cyrillic. In addition, the font family supports Adobe CE, Adobe Western 2, Greek, Latin Extended, Vietnamese character sets.
Optical sizes Caption Regular Subhead Display Intended point sizes 6–8.4 8.4–13.0 13.0–19.9 19.9–72
A TrueType version of Minion, designed for screen use. It supports ISO-Adobe character set. Version 1.00 of the font was distributed with Internet Explorer 4.0.
Minion Web Pro
An updated version of Minion Web, which supports Adobe CE and Adobe Western 2 character sets.
Minion Math comes in 4 weights and in 5 optical sizes. The current version (October 2011) contains about 2.900 glyphs per font. Minion Math had a working title, typoma MnMath. The final form is expected to include all Unicode mathematical symbols and many additional symbols.
Minion in other font families
The Latin Minion glyphs are also used in other Adobe font families, including Adobe Arabic (Arabic), Adobe Hebrew (Hebrew), Adobe Thai (Thai), and Adobe Song (simplified Chinese).
- In 2003, Brown University adopted Minion as the typeface for the University logo.
- In 2008, Wake Forest University adopted Minion Pro as its primary serif typeface as part of its project to update the university's visual identity, noting that the font "… exhibits warmth and balance …".

"N..not me?" "Not you."
“STOP! I ORDER YOU TO STOP!” I yell at the group of men who were busy trying to restrain the raven haired man, who was busy lashing out at them, trying to get away, clearly deathly afraid but trying his damndest not to let it show. “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?”
His eyes, which were an odd shade, somewhere between a hazel and a green, went wide with shock. His jaw threatens to drop, but he keeps it in check, that would not have been very polite. The men that were holding him, I can see now that they had an iron grip of his hand, I understood now. But that did not mean that I had to like it.
“Sire, this man is-“
“He stole from me, he deserves-“
“SILENCE!” I order everyone there, who were all talking over each other, their desperate explanations overlapping and mixing in with each other, sounding like babble that I was unable to understand.
“Sire,” Robert is standing beside me, he almost always accompanied me on my walks, even when I had dismissed all of the others, he often remained. If he had been wealthier, or of a higher status other than a servant, I would have perhaps liked to have gotten to know him better, to maybe even become friends. But I was the ruling monarch, he was a low class servant, it was his job to serve me and nothing else. Besides, I was the king, I didn’t need friends.
“Sire, I believe that these men are trying to inform you that this man here,” he points a hand at the raven haired, pale skinned man, “has committed a crime. I believe that they are trying to tell you that he is a thief.”
My eyes narrow, and I cast them on the group of men I front of me, the ones that still had not let the other man, the thief go. “Is what Robert tells me true?” I asks them, my voice cold and uncaring. Though, for some odd, unexplainable reason, I did care. Not about them, of course, but strangely enough I actually cared about the man who was likely to have stolen something. And I, Frank Iero the eighth, detested thieves; they were among the lowest of the low.
“Yes, your majesty,” the words do not come from the men, nor are they said with any fear behind them, or any respect. Only a deep loathing. The speaker had practically spat the words at me. “It is true.” The speaker was the dark haired man, the one with the unusual eyes dressed in little more than rags. The one who was little more than skin and bones. For some reason I felt sorry for him, I wished to help him, if I could. Strange, as I had seen many poor people before, I normally didn’t spare a thought for them, but this man, this thief, was different. Perhaps it was because despite the situation he was in, despite the fact that he was almost quivering in fear, he still was trying to act like a brave man, one that was not going to go down without a fight. I had to respect that.
“I wish for you to release him.” The men pale and their hate filled eyes widen. It takes a lot of effort and control on my behalf to not smirk at them or tell them what I really thought of them.
“But, Sire, this man is-“
“Do yo have any evidence?” I ask the balding man, he had blue, tired looking eyes and his voice was shaking, along with the rest of his frail looking body as he spoke to me.
“Yes, I woke up one morning and found that I was missing six whole pounds and three shillings.” The man spat on the already dirty street that was lined with rotting vegetables, and dirty, waste water.
“How can you be certain that it was the work of this man?”
“He worked for me on my farm; he was the last worker there the night before my money was stolen.”
“Very well then.” I watched as the accused man`s eyes flickered shut, and his pale, chapped and badly bitten lips moved as he whispered something, possibly a prayer under his breath. “I still wish for this man to be released.” The looks of pure disbelief I received from many of the men (the others glared, their eyes full of anger and hate) was almost enough to make me laugh, bit I refrained.
Even Robert was surprised, and to be honest he most certainly did not look the least bit impressed. He was a wise man though, so he did the clever thing and held his tongue.
“You may depart now.” The large group that had been gathered to watch walked away, the small group of men including the farmer who had accused the man of stealing, left, muttering something under his breath.
“Not you,” the pale skinned man froze.
“N…not me?” I shake my head and smile at the poor stranger.
I… I could not believe it. This man, the king was actually standing up for me. He stood there, dressed in all his rich clothing, a determined look full of suppressed anger on his young face. I could, not believe my ears when he told the men that were restraining me to leave; I was even more happily surprised when they actually did.
“Ow…” I mumble under my breathe, watching as they all left, like defeated animals with their tails between their legs I wince as I rub the red skin of my wrist where the one man, the dark haired one had been holding it in a very secure, iron grip. I turn to walk away, unsure whether I should thank the short, brown haired man who had saved me, but I doubted that the king of all people would wish to speak to me, so I decided against it. I turn to walk away when he calls after me, authority ringing in his voice.
“Not you.” I froze, worried I had done something wrong, I usually did.
“N…not me?” he smiles, shaking his head, dark hair falling forwards to cover his face slightly.
so, please let me know if you liked it/if you want to be in it. Just say names, looks, personality, that sort of thing. Hope you liked it, I`ll update soon as

Michelangelo bronzes discovered
It was thought that no bronzes by Michelangelo had survived – now experts believe they have found not one, but two – with a tiny detail in a 500-year-old drawing providing vital evidence.
The bronzes are exceptionally powerful and compelling works of art that deserve close-up study
They are naked, beautiful, muscular and ride triumphantly on two ferocious panthers. And now the secret of who created these magnificent metre-high bronze male nudes could well be solved. A team of international experts led by the University of Cambridge and Fitzwilliam Museum has gathered compelling evidence that argues that these masterpieces, which have spent over a century in relative obscurity, are early works by Michelangelo, made just after he completed the marble David and as he was about to embark on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
If the attribution is correct, they are the only surviving Michelangelo bronzes in the world.
They are a non-matching pair, one figure older and lithe, the other young and athletic. Long admired for the beauty of their anatomy and powerful expressions, their first recorded attribution was to Michelangelo when they appeared in the collection of Adolphe de Rothschild in the 19th century. But, since they are undocumented and unsigned, this attribution was dismissed and over the last 120 years, the bronzes have been attributed to various other talented sculptors.
That changed last autumn when Prof Paul Joannides, Emeritus Professor of Art History at the University of Cambridge, connected them to a drawing by one of Michelangelo’s apprentices now in the Musée Fabre, Montpellier, France.
A Sheet of studies with Virgin embracing Infant Jesus, c.1508, is a student’s faithful copy of various slightly earlier lost sketches by Michelangelo. In one corner is a composition of a muscular youth riding a panther, which is very similar in pose to the bronzes, and drawn in the abrupt, forceful manner that Michelangelo employed in designs for sculpture. This suggests that Michelangelo was working up this very unusual theme for a work in three dimensions.
This revelation triggered further art-historical research with input from a number of international experts. The bronzes were compared with other works by Michelangelo and found to be very similar in style and anatomy to his works of 1500-1510; a date confirmed by the preliminary conclusions of initial scientific analysis. Interdisciplinary research is continuing; the findings and conclusions of which will be presented at an international conference on Monday 6 July, 2015.
It is a common misconception that Michelangelo sculpted almost exclusively in marble and never in bronze. However it is historically verifiable that he was associated with bronze throughout his 75-year-long career. Michelangelo is documented as having made a two-thirds life-size David for a French grandee, and an over twice life-size statue of Pope Julius II. Sadly neither survives – the first disappeared during the French Revolution; the second was melted down for artillery less than three years after it was made.
Dr Victoria Avery, Keeper of the Applied Arts Department of the Fitzwilliam Museum, commented: “It has been fantastically exciting to have been able to participate in this ground-breaking project, which has involved input from many art-historians in the UK, Europe and the States, and to draw on evidence from conservation scientists and anatomists. The bronzes are exceptionally powerful and compelling works of art that deserve close-up study – we hope the public will come and examine them for themselves, and engage with this ongoing debate.”
The bronzes have gone on display in advance of the Fitzwilliam Museum’s bicentenary in 2016 and before its next major exhibition Treasured Possessions, the result of a interdisciplinary University research project revealing hidden items in the Museum’s reserves. The bronzes and a selection of the evidence are now on display in the Italian galleries at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, from February 3 until 9 August 2015. Admission to the Fitzwilliam is free.

Rumors have been flying that Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne are taking time apart, with reports saying Sharon was spotted packing her things to move out of their Beverly Hills home. But Ozzy has taken to Facebook to set the record straight, writing that it is a drug relapse and not a divorce that was plaguing their family this past year.
For the last year and a half I have been
drinking and taking drugs. I was in a very dark place and was an
a**hole to the people I love most, my family. However, I am happy to
say that I am now 44 days sober.
Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing. I’m just trying to be a better person.
I would like to apologize to Sharon, my family, my friends and my band
mates for my insane behavior during this period………and my fans.
Ozzy and Sharon met in 1979 when Sharon was just 18 and have been together — through many trials and tribulations — ever since. They were married in 1982.

In his first meeting with the new Council of Ministers on Thursday evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlined the importance of disseminating the message of remaining cautious about Covid-19 as the threat is “far from over”.
Addressing the ministers, sources said, the PM said that “over the past few days, we all have been seeing pictures and videos of crowded places and people roaming about without masks or social distancing”, and that it is “not a pleasant sight and it should instil a sense of fear in us”.
“Powered by our Covid warriors and frontline workers, India’s fight against the global pandemic is under way with full vigour. We are steadily vaccinating substantial numbers of our nation’s population. Testing is also consistently high,” Modi said. However, “in such a time, there should be no space for carelessness or complacency” and a “single mistake would have far-reaching impacts and weaken the fight” against the pandemic.

The Chair of The Vegan Society’s Vegan Education Network and founder of Primary Veducation has been nominated in The All Party Parliamentary Group Excellence in School Food Awards.
Laura Chepner, who joined the charity late last year, has been recognised for her work encouraging parents to ask for plant-based options and for assisting schools in making that transition.
The APPG awards recognise excellence in innovation and individual commitment, providing an opportunity for those working within school food a chance to ‘step forward and shine’. In total, 2 of the 8 finalists this year are plant-based initiatives. Laura is nominated in the Individuals category alongside Dugald C, CEO of SchoolGrid, and Jeanette Orrey of School Food Plan Alliance.
After her own vegan child experienced discrimination at school, former teacher Laura founded Primary Veducation – hosting training sessions for school staff - and wrote ‘An Educator’s Guide for Vegan-Inclusive Teaching’. Laura was also responsible for getting her local council in Bury to become the first UK Council to have a rolling vegan menu in their schools.
Reacting to the news Laura Chepner said: “I am so honoured to be nominated for a School Food Award. I am extremely passionate about working with educators to explain what it means to be vegan and how to appropriately teach and treat vegan pupils. I know first-hand what it’s like to be the parent of a vegan child and worry that their needs are not being met at school. Everything I do is to help other parents experiencing the same difficulties and so to be recognised for my work is just wonderful. I can’t wait to attend the awards ceremony and meet all the other brilliant nominees.”
Speaking ahead of the awards, judge Sharon Hodgson MP said, "Alongside Kerry McCarthy MP and Christian Wakeford, I really enjoyed judging this year's fantastic nominations for the APPG Excellence in School Food Awards - well done to all submissions. After what has been a challenging few years for the school food industry it was fantastic to see such impressive submissions, also making it incredibly hard to select finalists. I am looking forward to the APSE Facilities Management Seminar in March, and congratulations to all finalists!"
The winners will be announced at the Awards presentation evening, held at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel on Thursday 3 March 2022.
The awards dinner forms part of the APSE Facilities, Catering and Cleaning Management Seminar and further details of the seminar can be found online. You can also read more about the Vegan Education Network here.
