More than 20 million American’s older than age 12 are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.
If you were one of them you know the struggle it takes to get clean and sober.
Now, that you’ve obtained sobriety you might be thinking, you can control your addiction and one more time won’t hurt.
Between 40 and 60 percent of people relapse after getting sober.
If you’re thinking of falling off the wagon, check out these 10 reasons to stay sober.
The Hardest Part was Getting Sober
Detoxing is the arguably the hardest part of getting sober. Week of withdrawal symptoms like possible seizures, nausea, and vomiting, and other side effects are over.
Your system is no longer dependent on any substance so now it’s time to focus on living.
If the urge to use makes you question whether or not you should use just one more time, the answer is always absolutely not!
Addiction is Expensive
It cost a lot of money to maintain an addiction.
Addicts often spend thousands every week, scrounging, scraping, even stealing and engaging in questionable behavior to find money for another fix.
if an addict is able to hold down a job, all of his income goes to the addiction.
Many addicts forgo paying bills to support the habit. When this happens they end up on the street or couch surfing with anyone who will give them shelter for the night.
The next day, you go back to the grind of finding money to feed the addiction.
As you continue to use your tolerance increases, forcing you to buy more and more until you run out of money and turn to other methods of acquiring what keeps you from being sick.
By staying sober, you’ve taken an important step to ending the vicious cycle and stepped onto the path to being a productive member of your community.
You’ll Respect Yourself
As if the shame you feel while you’re drinking and using drugs isn’t enough, the shame you feel when you’re coming down is even worse. So you do whatever you can to drink or get high to decrease the shame.
The cycle is never-ending.
When you’re sober, you learn ways to cope other than turning to
Family and Friends Respect You More
When you’re high or drunk you become unreliable. You say hurtful things and do things that make people lose respect for you.
Sober do their best to keep their word because they don’t want to disappoint their friends and family.
They avoid words and actions that would hurt their loved ones’ feelings. And, they spend less time apologizing and making excuses for the things they’ve done while they were under the influence.
You Make Better Decisions Sober
People under the influence take greater risks than those who are sober.
Do you remember acting a way that a sober you would never even consider?
Maybe you stole from a loved one, or you did questionable things to feed your addiction.
When you’re sober, you’re more likely to make conscious decisions not to act against your morals and goals.
You’ll Live Longer
Aside from the risk of overdosing, addiction adversely affects your hearth.
Your drug of choice probably comes with serious health consequences. Alcohol abuse can result in liver cirrhosis, throat and mouth cancers, organic brain syndrome (brain damage) and a host of other health problems.
Heroin addiction can lead to Hepatitis B and C, HIV/AIDS, pneumonia, tuberculosis and various bacterial infections among other issues. Depending on how you use it, it can lead to site-specific complications.
Injecting heroin with a needle may result in the previously mentioned diseases due to sharing needles as well as skin abscesses and collapsed and clogged veins.
Smoking it can lead to pulmonary diseases such as pneumonia and tuberculosis, asthma and other lung conditions.
Snorting leads to damaged the mucous glands in the nose tissue like a perforated septum.
Cocaine addiction can result in irregular heartbeat, insomnia, paranoia, muscle spasms, and a variety of other conditions depending on the method of consumption.
Prescription drug abuse comes with a textbook of side effects and dangers. Among those are heart failure, organ failure, respiratory failure and a plethora of medical and mental conditions.
Meth abuse results in a quick deterioration of the teeth, hair and physical appearance. Smoking methamphetamines can cause respiratory complications like pneumonia. Injecting meth and snorting it can lead to the same complications as shooting heroin and cocaine.
Jailtime is No Fun
Your risk of being arrested increases when you’re under the influence. Consider yourself lucky if it’s never happened to you.
Every time you buy drugs, you risk being caught by the police. Every time you drive or attempt to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol you risk being arrested for DUI or DWI.
If you’ve ever been arrested you know the additional monetary cost of addiction. Bail and attorney fees aren’t cheap either.
When family and friends are fed up and refuse to foot the bail money to get you out of lock-up, then you have to sit in jail and even risk prison time.
Staying sober is decreases your chances of spending time in jail for possession or being under the influence.
You Can Have More Meaningful Relationships
Addicts tend to develop relationships with people who enable their addiction.
Their friends are likely to be people they use with, and they might develop co-dependent relationships with people who don’t have their best interests at heart.
Romantic relationships that develop between addicts can be toxic and abusive.
When you’re sober it’s easier to develop healthy relationships because your mind is clear and aren’t making relationship choices based on the addiction.
You’ve Become a Role Model
By getting sober you’ve written a story that others should hear.
Regardless of how you fell into addiction or how good or bad you had it before, someone can learn from you.
The minute you gave up the habit that held you captive, you rewrote your narrative. Now, one of the most important reasons not to do drugs is that you can make a difference in someone else’s life.
You Owe it to Yourself
You’ve worked hard to get sober, so staying that way should be your top priority.
You are worth every moment of hard work and dedication it takes to be sober.
Life is more enjoyable when you can think clearly, and you want to enjoy every minute of it.
More Reasons to Stay Sober
There are plenty of reasons to maintain sobriety.
You probably have reasons that are meaningful to you. Try making a list of your own reasons.

- SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas has been under scrutiny over his wife's political activism.
- A number of Justice Thomas's previous clerks have gone on to join or prop up the Trump sphere.
- Fox News host Laura Ingraham and ex-Trump lawyer John Eastman are among those who used to clerk for Thomas.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has faced growing ethical concerns from critics due to his wife Ginni Thomas's political activism and participation in partisan politics — especially her support for former President Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
In January, Thomas held the lone dissenting opinion in the Supreme Court's order rejecting a bid from former President Donald Trump to withhold presidential records from the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.
A number of people who at one point ran in Clarence Thomas's circle went on to help prop up the former president — some of whom have been evoked during the January 6 House panel's public hearings.
Conservative news host Laura Ingraham and former Trump lawyer John Eastman are among those who formerly clerked for the Supreme Court justice and now share ties with Trump.
While Thomas, who has served on the bench for more than 30 years since 1991, has had 130 law clerks, a few stand out. Here are the clerk alumni of Clarence Thomas who are tied to the Trump sphere:
Ingraham, who now hosts the Fox News primetime show "The Ingraham Angle," served as a clerk for Thomas in 1992 after attending law school.
The Fox News firebrand threw her support behind the former president early on after becoming one of the first pundits to endorse Trump in his presidential campaign.
During the Capitol attack, Ingraham texted then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that "the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home," according to a series of text messages obtained by the January 6 House panel.
"This is hurting all of us," Ingraham wrote. "He is destroying his legacy and playing into every stereotype... we lose all credibility against the BLM/Antifa crowd if things go south."
Between 1989 and 1992, Katsas clerked for then-Judge Clarence Thomas on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and continued to clerk for Thomas after he joined the nation's highest court.
Katsas later served in the White House Counsel's office for the Trump administration. In December 2017, Trump appointed Katsas to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.
In 2020, the former president also included Katsas on his list of potential Supreme Court nominees.
Philbin served as a law clerk to Thomas from July 1993 to July 1994. He went on to represent Trump as deputy counsel during the former president's first impeachment trial.
The former deputy White House counsel's name has also been evoked during the January 6 hearings in recent weeks along with Trump's former top lawyer Pat Cipollone with regards to Trump loyalist Jeffrey Clark.
Clark formerly worked for the Justice Department and nbb help Trump in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Former Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue said in testimony before the January 6 House committee that Cipollone and Philbin said they would resign if former acting US Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen was fired and replaced by Clark.
Yoo, who clerked for Thomas from 1994-1995, is known for drafting former President George W. Bush's legal justification for torturing detainees after 9/11, known as the "torture memos."
In 2020, the lawyer said he helped the Trump White House find ways to skirt the law and install his own policies, particularly on bypassing Congress on the Supreme Court's immigration ruling upholding DACA.
He also wrote a book about Trump that came out in July 2020 titled "Defender in Chief: Donald Trump's Fight for Presidential Power."
Eastman is known for his role in advising Trump and penning a memo outlining a six-step plan to overturn the 2020 election.
In the memo, the former law professor helped craft a plan for then-Vice President Mike Pence to delay or outright block the certification of the election results. He claimed that Pence could reject electors from states where Trump allies flagged disputed claims of voter fraud.
Federal agents recently seized Eastman's cell phone, per a court filing, marking the latest development in Justice Department's criminal investigation into Trump's failed effort to reverse his defeat in the 2020 election.
Eastman clerked for Thomas between 1996 to 1997.
Rao was appointed to the DC Court of Appeals in 2018 to replace Brett Kavanaugh after he joined the Supreme Court. She was also on Trump's shortlist for SCOTUS.
She served as a law clerk to Thomas in 2001.
Prior to being appointed to one of the most powerful courts in the nation, Rao served as head of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in July 2017, where she helped defend the Trump administration's agenda, per The New York Times.
In 2020, she ruled in Trump's favor by dissenting in two cases over presidential powers, pushing back on a ruling that grand jury information from the Mueller report on Russian interference should be shared with the House Judiciary Committee.
"Judge Neomi Rao has served less than a year of her lifetime appointment to the DC Circuit, and I fear the damage she will do if she keeps putting politics and her allegiance to this president above the law," Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont, said in a statement at the time, per a report by Roll Call.
Eisenberg served as the deputy counsel to the Trump White House, as well as legal advisor to the National Security Council during Trump's tenure.
He was among four White House officials who failed to show up to testify during the first impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, after reports suggested Eisenberg listened to complaints related to the president's call to Ukraine.
Eisenberg served as a clerk for Thomas from 2003 to 2004.
Severino is a conservative political activist and president of conservative advocacy organization Judicial Crisis Network, where she led campaigns supporting Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh's nominations to the Supreme Court.
The political activist also clerked for Thomas from 2007 to 2008.
Consovoy previously represented Trump, specifically in the former president's efforts to shield his tax returns from then-Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr., who was pursuing a years-long investigation into the Trump Organization's business dealings.
Consovoy also clerked for Thomas from 2008 to 2009.
Strawbridge, who currently works at Consovoy's firm, formerly represented Trump and three of his children, as well as the Trump Organization. He also served as a law clerk to Thomas from 2008 to 2009.
Though not everyone who has a Thomas and Trump connection props up the former president
Judge Carl Nichols clerked for Thomas in 1997 and 1998. He was later appointed to the federal bench in Washington, DC, by Trump in 2018.
Nichols has repeatedly ruled against Trump and his allies since being confirmed.
In July 2019, Nichols dismissed a lawsuit filed by Trump against New York state officials to prevent the state from turning over his state tax returns to House Democrats, though they had not even asked New York for financial records.
Nichols said at the time that the case put him in a "very awkward position," though he ultimately ruled to dismiss the suit, saying federal trial court wasn't the place to decide a case involving New York officials.
Two years later, in 2021, the federal judge also denied motions from Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Lindell to dismiss Dominion's lawsuits against them, allowing all defamation lawsuits from the voting systems company to proceed. He's also proceeding over Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress trial that starts on Monday, July 18.


Nicole Faccio was a top fundraiser and inspirational Walker at LE&RN's 2016 #LymphWalk in Brooklyn. She quickly became involved in advocacy work, traveling with LE&RN in Albany for World Lymphedema Day in March. The New York State legislature recognized her efforts, along with those of LE&RN Honoary Board Member Steve Guttenberg, at the New York Statehouse. Nicole is pictured here with New York State Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal, a legislator who has led the charge in New York State for increased recognition of LE and LD, and has successfully lobbied for state grants for LE&RN.
"I was impressed with Nicole's determination and spirit," said William Repicci, President and CEO of LE&RN. "When we find a cure for LE and LD, it will be because of advocates like Nicole who are now refusing to take 'no' for an answer."
In 2017, Nicole was chosen to receive LE&RN's Advocate Award at the 2017 NY #LymphWalk. Her story of her diagnosis, treatment, and advocacy work inspired all those who had gathered to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge that day.

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a hate crime after a white family was targeted with racist vandalism and arson which authorities say stemmed from an interracial relationship.
The family’s minivan was spray-painted with a swastika and several racial epithets, according to Maj. Richard Lewis, a spokesman for the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. Another family vehicle was set on fire.
The family’s 14-year-old daughter was in a relationship with an African-American teenager, Lewis said.
“This case is being investigated as a hate crime,” Lewis said in a news release Wednesday afternoon. “The (State Bureau of Investigation) has been contacted and briefed on the case and the investigation.”
Deputies were alerted at 6:22 a.m. Dec. 27 about a vehicle fire and vandalism on White Oak Drive in Goldsboro, Lewis said. Investigators think the incident took place overnight.
Amanda Miller, the girl’s mother, told ABC11, The News & Observer’s media partner, that her daughter met the boy in church..
“It just makes your heart sink,” Miller told the TV station. “I’ve always tried to instill in her be friends with who is good to you. Like who is good to you. It doesn’t (matter) what color somebody is and it doesn’t (matter) what race they are.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations released a statement Wednesday condemning the crime.
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the group, told The News & Observer that he did not know if the African-American teen was Muslim.
“We don’t restrict ourselves in these types of bigoted attacks to Muslims,” he said. “What we have seen since the era of Donald Trump is bigotry that targets different groups and we speak out for all of them.”
Hate crimes in North Carolina increased 12 percent in 2017, following a nationwide trend, according to data from the FBI previously reported by The N&O.
Lewis, the sheriff’s spokesman, said the investigation is ongoing.
“We are following leads as they become available,” he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Scott Peele at 919-731-1484 or Wayne County CrimeStoppers at 919-735-2255.

If I were a refugee, how would I feel if I saw my children sleeping on the bare earth, cold and hungry?If I were a refugee, how would I feel if the land of my birth, which I love, is now a place of terror and hatred from which I had to flee with my babies to a hostile land where I am seen as human garbage?
If I were a refugee how would I feel if I was a Doctor and was now treated like a worthless nobody? If I were a refugee how would I feel if I had to give birth on a roadside with no midwife, no pain relief and nothing to wash myself or my new baby with.
I’ve just spent the whole day at the chequerboard by the Angel centre in Tonbridge collecting aid for refugees in Europe. Held at the borders of umpteen European countries, thousand upon thousands of desperate people are waiting. Waiting for refuge, waiting for help, waiting for compassion, waiting for the people who know best, to find a solution.
After a day of moving and transporting bags and boxes of clothing, food and other very necessary items I arrived home feeling exhausted. My nails are all broken, my back aches, I look dreadful and smell worse but I feel great.
There is so little we mere mortals can do to help the thousands we see each night on our TV screens, but the people of Tonbridge have responded in an amazingly generous way. OK, there were some who brought stuff which was wholly unsuitable, to be honest most women would think twice about starting a journey of several hundred miles dressed in a sequinned top and high heeled sandals, but many many more brought the things that are desperately needed like, rice, tinned food, baby food, nappies, and tents.
As I lay soaking in my lovely soapy bubbles, easing my aching back, I thought of the many men and women, my fellow human beings, my brothers and sisters of Mother Earth, who would give anything for the luxury of a bath or a shower.
Tonbridge has reached out today and said “you are still something and we care”. Well done Tonbridge.

Troax Group: Interim Report January-March 2020
Hillerstorp 23rd of April 2020, 12:30 CET
JANUARY – MARCH
- Order intake increased organically by 12 percent to 44,6 (39,7) MEUR. Adjusted for currency the increase was 12 percent.
- Sales increased organically by 4 percent to 40,8 (39,1) MEUR. Adjusted for currency the increase was 4 percent.
- Operating profit increased to 6,5 (5,9) MEUR.
- Operating margin increased to 15,9 (15,1) percent.
- Financial net was -0,2 (-0,3) MEUR.
- Profit after tax increased to 4,8 (4,3) MEUR.
- Earnings per share after dilution amounted to 0,08 (0,07) EUR based on 60 000 000 shares regarding both periods. (a split 3:1 was carried out in June 2019).
- Due to the great uncertainty about how the Corona pandemic will affect the company, the Board has decided to postpone the Annual General Meeting until June 25th. The decision has been made to give the Board additional time to evaluate what impact the Corona pandemic will have on the company’s market and liquidity situation and whether there is reason to change the earlier dividend decision.
Troax increased order intake by 12% during a very turbulent quarter. Despite being confronted, towards the end of the quarter, with a shrinking market, Troax still managed to take some major project orders, which counteracted the downturn. Troax is late in the business cycle and is therefore less affected, than many other industries, by the problems of reduced demand due to Corona Virus. In general, it was ‘business as usual’ during January and February, whereas the crisis struck with full force during the month of March. Order intake may be characterized as strong and a good cushion for the decrease in order intake and activity expected for quarters two and three. We have a good order backlog, which to some extent will help us during the expected downturn in the following quarters. The driver of the order intake during the first quarter is primarily the development within E-commerce. Automotive, on the other hand, had another weak quarter. Regionally, we have continued to develop well in the US and New markets, but the UK in particular, stands out positively and shows very good figures. Troax USA also performed well during the period, while it remained slow for Folding Guard. In summary, we believe that we have gained market shares mainly in more demanding customer segments and have again received several important orders from customers in automation, warehousing and construction.
Investments in increased production capacity at our plants in Sweden and Italy were largely completed during the first quarter, with the unit in Bulciago Italy being in use from the beginning of the year. The new Italian unit has, after some tuning, now started to gain momentum in production. Here, unfortunately, we must note that demand is likely to be the problem in the second quarter, as we have seen a clear reduction in quotation requests since the second half of March. On the positive side, of course, the new factory is ready to receive clearly higher volumes, in the long run. It should be noted this unit has been operating throughout the crisis in Italy, although the scale and volumes have been affected by the difficult situation in the country. The units in Birmingham (UK) and Chicago (USA), were in principle closed completely towards the end of March and will be closed at least throughout the month of April. The Group’s main factory in Hillerstorp Sweden has continued to produce almost normal production during this period. Our smallest size factory in Shanghai (China), was basically closed for most of the quarter due to Corona development in the country but started again on a smaller scale towards the end of the period.
Net sales increased by 4% in the quarter compared to the corresponding period last year. The trend is positive, especially in Continental Europe as well as New markets and the gross margin increased somewhat during the quarter. The result for the quarter is therefore better than the corresponding period 2019, which indicates a continued stable position for Troax at the end of March. We are currently conservative in increasing our sales and marketing efforts until we see how the situation develops. For the Group, the operating margin was 15,9 percent in the quarter, compared with 15,1 percent last year. Operating profit was EUR 6,5 million, an increase of EUR 0,6 million and Folding Guard continues to negatively impact the Group’s operating margin. Net profit amounted to EUR 4,8 million for the quarter compared to EUR 4,3 million last year.
Due to the great uncertainty about how the Corona pandemic will affect the company, the Board has decided to postpone the Annual General Meeting until June 25th. The decision has been made to give the Board additional time to evaluate what impact the Corona pandemic will have on the company’s market and liquidity situation and whether there is reason to change the earlier dividend decision. Cash flow during the quarter was charged, among other things, with the payment of debts related to a certain part of the investment in Italy and the acquisition of our distributor in Japan. This combined with a certain increase in tax payments, results in a somewhat lower cash flow than the corresponding period last year. Investments charged EUR 1,6 million in cash flow during the quarter. Towards the end of the period, we noted a tendency for customers in different countries to try to delay payments, with reference to the strained situation because of the Corona situation.

Former Tahidi Actor Joseph Kinuthia, kinuthia alias Omosh, was officially handed over his newly built three-bedroom bungalow keys. The new house is located in Malaa, off Kangundo Road in Nairobi.
The house was handed to him under strict instruction that he should not sell it. A signpost written, ”This property is not for sale” was also mounted at the compound to prevent Omosh, who is considered broke and reckless, from selling it.
Speaking while leading the handing over the celebration, celebrated Presenter Phelix Odiwuor alias Jalango asked omosh to ensure he brings over his family and not dare to sell it.
” usijaribu kuuza hii nyumba” jalango warned him.
The house was built by Sung Timber, who, among other Kenyans, came to Omosh aid after he publicly declares he was broke and in depression

“For two months we have been carrying out test flights, in September we will start delivering complexes to the NVO zone, we are negotiating with the units that will need it,” Dmitry Zubarev, a representative of the Svyaz Spetszashchita company, told TASS.
The “Aircraft Carrier” is based on the company’s development – the “Admiral” drone, capable of flying in the sky for six hours. In addition to two FPV drones, the UAV is equipped with a control signal repeater.
“If the standard range of FPV drones is four to five kilometers, then the use of the Admiral will seriously expand it,” Zubarev said. The complex, according to him, is primarily intended for patrolling and protecting large areas. If the drone detects a threat in flight, it will be able to send attack drones to it.

Lawmakers must stand firm on heating aid
Among the more unfortunate budget cuts coming out of Washington, D.C., is one that targets a program that helps low-income people keep their homes heated. The deep freeze for LIHEAP (Low Income Heating and Assistance Program) seems inevitable, as Congress looks to pare spending to control the widening deficit, but what the Washington state delegation should not accept is a bid by Southern politicians to divert funding to help their constituents with air conditioning bills.
They can try to start a LICAP (for cooling assistance), but they ought to leave LIHEAP alone.
A bill in the House would change the funding formula for energy bill assistance, with the goal of taking a larger share of the money and diverting it to warm-weather states, such as Florida, Texas and Arizona. LIHEAP was intended to help with heating bills. It has already been compromised to aid with cooling bills. But this step goes too far.
As is, there isn’t enough money to help all of the people who qualify for heating assistance. These are households that fall below 125 percent of the poverty line. Most of the aid goes to the elderly, the disabled or to families with small children.
A few years back, Congress boosted funding to reverse the long-standing trend of fewer households being helped each year. But the Great Recession has gutted government revenues. Last year, LIHEAP helped 148,211 households in Washington state, according to the LIHEAP Advocacy Center. In 2008, it was 68,032. The president’s budget calls for a reduction that essentially returns the program to 2008 service levels. Congress may add more money, but few people believe that the program will avoid significant cuts.
That’s all the more reason for the Washington delegation to dig in and fight this Southern-fried assault on the funding formula, which would deepen cutbacks here. U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, who is leading the charge at this point, says the House bill could cost the state nearly $30 million. In Spokane County alone, that would mean an estimated 4,000 fewer households getting help.
A Senate plan that would preserve the funding formula is the one the state’s delegation needs to rally around.
Washington state is well aware of the politics behind funding formulas, since it gets the short end of Medicare’s peculiar arithmetic as a “reward” for being more efficient in delivering health care. Meanwhile, states like Florida are given more money per Medicare patient for identical services. Attempts by the Washington delegation to rectify this obvious unfairness – and budgetary insanity – have been rebuffed.
The cold, hard fact is that this energy assistance was gained – and has been sustained – through political heavy lifting. Northwest politicians would be pushovers if they caved on LIHEAP, while the Medicare disparity was allowed to continue.
Now if Southern politicians would warm to a compromise, that would be another matter. In the meantime, they need to keep their hands off LIHEAP.

Reverend Al Sharpton held a rally Saturday denouncing the promotion of a NYPD officer involved in a controversial fatal shooting back in 1999.
A ceremony was held on Thursday for Kenneth Boss to promote him from officer to sergeant.
Boss was one of the four officers acquitted in the fatal shooting of Amadou Diallo.
Diallo was killed after being shot 41 times.
Police say Boss' promotion is mandated under civil service law because he passed the sergeant's test and wasn't under any type of investigation.

The 11th episode of the Articulate Ventures podcast is "Storytelling, Winning Arguments & Negotiations" and once again it is my task to make a photograph that tells a story about storytelling.
I took the easy road and simply had Mia pose holding a book as if she is reading a story for the viewer. In a small homage to one of my favorite stories I had Mia hold a Calvin & Hobbes collection as her storybook. It seems right considering the upcoming release of the documentary, "Dear Mr. Watterson."

We are very pleased to announce that our Wild Caught Ornamental Fish: the trade, the benefits, the facts report was highly commended in the Publication of the Year award from the Trade Association Forum.
We are very proud of this report so to be even shortlisted was great! Here’s what was said on the night about the report.
“Before we announce of the winner of the Publication of the Year, I have been asked to commend the entry submitted by The Ornamental Aquatic Trades Association, for their fantastic-looking publication designed specifically for online use. Congratulations to The Ornamental Aquatic Trades Association.”
Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association (OATA)
With increasingly negative campaigns in the media regarding the collection and keeping of wild animals, OATA wanted to examine the evidence for the positive benefits of wild caught tropical fish to the remote local economies worldwide that rely upon the trade, and demonstrate the positive impact it can have on maintaining healthy habitats in the wider environment. OATA commissioned the University of Kent’s Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology to review the available scientific literature which was then produced into a 175-page report. OATA already had a great deal of useful data, but needed some help in making it accessible for the various stakeholders. They worked with Rubicon Marketing, whose brief was to produce an easy-to-read and visually appealing report for print as well as a digital version to share on e-mail and social media. The resulting report contained a large number of attractive infographics to give the statistics greater impact – ‘Wild caught ornamental fish: the trade, the benefits, the facts’ was subsequently launched in May of 2016. An important element of the report looks at the alternative livelihoods on offer to people who catch live fish and whether these are ‘better’ for them and the planet. It also includes four case studies – with videos in the digital report – showing people talking about their livelihoods and way of life. Hard copy reports were then sent to MPs, MSPs, Welsh AMs and MEPS, Government Ministers, officials and select committee members. As a direct result for their hard work, OATA were invited subsequently invited to meet with Sir David Amess, MP who has agreed to raise the issues in parliament. OATA also received letters from then Defra Minister, Rory Stewart and DFID Minister, James Wharton acknowledging the livelihood benefits of the industry and the role it can play in meeting Sustainable Development Goals. The report was also e-mailed to organisations such as the UN, CITES and conservation charities such as the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The extremely valuable follow-up conversations have well and truly put OATA on the map. Now, two fellow trade bodies have taken up the baton, cementing OATA’s position as a leader in the aquatics world. This report represented a significant investment for a very small trade association, but it has given OATA a valuable resource to continue to share as they build on relationships with UK politicians and providing key information to members and the wider industry.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has been their biggest strength so far this year, something that would’ve been laughable to hear last season when they finished just 27th overall.
This year, however, they are already in the top 10, and they’ll need to keep playing their best until quarterback Jameis Winston and this offense catches up to them.
In Week 1, the Bucs offense looked inept as Winston throw three interceptions. Week 2 was a different story, though, as Tampa Bay protected the football and managed to do just enough to get the 20-14 road win over the Carolina Panthers.
A big reason they pulled off the upset last week was the solid rushing attack from running back Peyton Barber, who finished with 23 rushes for 82 yards and a touchdown.
On Sunday, Barber will be facing off against the 0-2 New York Giants, and if you’ve got Barber on your fantasy football team, you may want to start him.
Last year, in Week 11, Barber had a career-high 106 rushing yards against the Giants to go along with one touchdown. (He also had two receptions for four yards and another score.) Barber has only rushed for 100-plus yards twice in his career since entering the league in 2016.
With this Giants team looking as bad now as they did last year, Barber will likely run all over them again in Week 3.

Man accused of shooting manager at Under Armour remains on the run
Stores across Central Florida closed
On Wednesday, Orlando police continued to look for 46-year-old Daniel Everett, who is believed to be driving a gray or charcoal-colored 2012 Kia Sorento.
Authorities said Everett went to Under Armour at Orlando International Premium Outlets Monday evening and killed Eunice Maria Vasquez, 37, while shoppers were in the store. He’s also accused of having a list of other employees he wished to harm because they complained about him during the three years he worked at the store.
[RELATED: Manager killed at Orlando Under Armour store was sweet, caring, family says | Under Armour employee shot and killed in store at Orlando International Premium Outlets | Wanted suspect in outlet mall shooting returned to kill manager hours after he was fired, police say]
Police said they made contact with everyone on the list to make sure they were safe. Everett is considered armed and dangerous.
Family members of the victim said she was a kind and caring woman who was dedicated to her career.
“She had such a big heart. She always put everyone in front of her own self,” said the victim’s brother, Ruben Vasquez. “It’s like a dream. It’s still a hard pill to swallow right now.”
On Tuesday, investigators were seen serving a search warrant at Everett’s home, removing at least one gun safe and bags of evidence from the Lake Nona residence.
All eight Under Armour stores across Central Florida remained closed on Wednesday. Officials with the company have not said when the locations will reopen.
“Last night, we learned of a terrible tragedy involving the loss of a member of the Under Armour family at one of our stores in Orlando. Our hearts go out to our teammate and her family, and to all of the teammates affected by this awful incident. Out of respect to the victim and her family, and because this is an active investigation, we are not in a position to offer any details at this time. Our concern right now is with the safety and security of everyone involved. We have a team on the ground and are in close coordination with law enforcement as monitoring the situation closely,” Under Armour officials said.
Anyone who sees Everett or has information about his whereabouts is asked to call 911.

Deborah E. Wiley, Chair of The Wiley Foundation, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE: JWa & JWb), announced today that the twelfth annual Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences will be awarded to Dr. Michael Young, Rockefeller University, Dr. Jeffrey Hall, Brandeis University (Emeritus), and Dr. Michael Rosbash, Brandeis University.
The Wiley Prize is being awarded to Dr. Young, Dr. Hall and Dr. Rosbash for the discovery of the molecular mechanisms governing circadian rhythms.
“The molecular network discovered by these researchers imparts cyclic behavior to many biological processes including sleep and wakefulness, metabolism and even the response to drugs,” said Dr. Günter Blobel, Chairman of the awards jury for the Wiley Prize.
Studies of the molecular basis for circadian rhythmicity began in the early 1980s in the laboratory of Dr. Young at Rockefeller University and Drs. Hall and Rosbash at Brandeis. Over the past three decades the work of the three investigators focused on the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster. Their research has shown that the fly’s circadian clocks are formed through the actions of a small group of genes.
These discoveries apply not only to insects but also to humans and other mammals, and they could ultimately lead to the development of drugs to treat sleep disorders and related ones such as jet lag, plus maladies associated with shift-work.
The Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences recognizes contributions that have opened new fields of research or have advanced novel concepts or their applications in a particular biomedical discipline. It honors a specific contribution or a series of contributions that demonstrate significant leadership and innovation. This year’s award will be presented to Dr. Rosbash, Dr. Hall and Dr. Young on April 5, 2013 at The Rockefeller University in New York City.

Programming note: For comprehensive 49ers coverage, watch SportsNet Central tonight at 7:30, 10:30 p.m. and midnight on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area
SANTA CLARA – The 49ers will spend more time this week inside Levi’s Stadium as they prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.
The 49ers have a practice inside Levi’s Stadium scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. This week is the first time the 49ers have practiced inside their new home since the start of the regular season.
“We had a little walk-through in there yesterday (Monday) as well with the lights,” 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. “The day starts a little later for these night games."
Roman made reference to a quote Jim Harbaugh has cited in the past, "If you're going to fight in the North Atlantic, you should train in the North Atlantic."
The 49ers play the Seahawks on Thursday night. The 49ers played a home night game on Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, losing 28-20.
The 49ers are 3-2 at home this season. They have arguably played better on the road, where they are 4-2.
“I don’t know if we’ve played our best football yet, and certainly not at home,” Roman said. “I definitely think there’s a bit of an adjustment period there, breaking it in.”


Telefunken Elektroakustik M60 Master Set
The M60 FET Series is designed to utilize the same interchangeable TK6x capsules as the TEC Award-winning ELA M 260 small diaphragm tube microphone. The Telefunken Elektroakustik M60 Master Set features one M60 amplifier paired with three interchangeable capsules, including the TK60 cardioid, TK61 omnidirectional and TK62 hypercardioid.
The M60 FET Master Set ships complete with TK60 cardioid, TK61 omnidirectional and TK62 hypercardioid capsules, a SGMC-5R 5-meter XLR cable with right angle female connector, M761 elastic shock mount, and foam windscreen, all packed in an ZC61 zipper carrying case.
The M60 FET’s incredibly quick transient response captures nuances and subtleties with impressive precision and clarity. This results in an extremely detailed sonic image with definition and presence, perfectly suited for the complex character of stringed instruments and percussive sources.
Utilizing a unique proprietary circuit topology, this re-interpretation of the classic FET mic amplifier produces an exceptional transient response and SPL handling capabilities. Carefully selected and tested components are hand-plugged into gold-plated circuit board traces to provide an ultra-clean true Class A discrete amplifier with a frequency response of ±2 dB from 20 Hz to 50 kHz. The output is matched with a custom American-made transformer that offers an especially low self-noise and a typical THD+N of 0.015% or better, making it ideal for critical recording applications.
The M60 FET amplifier body is finished in a durable, lightly textured black powder coat adorned with the historic TELEFUNKEN diamond badge. The microphone’s XLR connector shell complements the look with a matte black nickel-plated finish engraved with the model and serial number. The TK6x capsules feature a bright nickel-plated enclosure with a fine gold mesh pattern.
TK60 Cardioid Capsule
The Telefunken TK60 is a small diaphragm cardioid capsule used with the ELA M 260 tube microphone and the M60 FET microphone. Featuring a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane measuring 15mm in diameter, the TK60 has a surprisingly full low end for a small diaphragm capsule, and offers a quick and accurate transient response. These small diaphragm capsules are tested to a strict ±1 dB sensitivity tolerance. The frequency response is flat from 150 Hz to 7 kHz, with a smooth, airy presence peak at 8 kHz making it ideal for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and other acoustic instruments.
TK61 Omni Capsule
The Telefunken TK61 is a small diaphragm omnidirectional capsule used with the ELA M 260 tube microphone and the M60 FET microphone. Featuring a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane measuring 15mm in diameter, the TK61 offers a large, open sound perfect for capturing the subtle nuances and space of your recording environment. The frequency response is flat from 20 Hz to 5 kHz, with a smooth, airy presence peak at 8 kHz. These small diaphragm capsules are tested to a strict ±1dB sensitivity tolerance. When used with the diffuse field spheres in the ELA M 260 Tri-Mono system, the TK61 omnidirectional capsule captures the ambience and vibe of your room to breathe life into any recording.
TK62 Hypercardioid Capsule
The Telefunken TK62 is a small diaphragm hyper-cardioid capsule used with the ELA M 260 tube microphone and the M60 FET microphone. Featuring a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane measuring 15mm in diameter, the TK62 provides a wide cardioid pattern flat in response from 150 Hz to 3 kHz, with a dip at 6 kHz and a smooth, airy presence peak at 8 kHz. These small diaphragm capsules are tested to a strict ±1 dB sensitivity tolerance. This tightened polar pattern is great for use on cymbals, percussion, and as a stereo pair for live performance recording, as used in the ELA M 260 Field Set.

Finally! A minecraft survival map with an original premise! The Biome Clock survival features several distinct biomes (desert, fields, jungle, etc). Now that in itself isn’t original, but what is original is the ‘clock’ feature. Each biome is connected by a lava filled bridge that is only open for ten minutes every hour. Which means you have to plan out your survival tactics in order to gather enough resources in those ten minutes to tide you over for another fifty.
So unlike other chunk based biome minecraft maps, instead of simply building several bridges and calling it a day, you slowly build your survival empire, choosing one place to make a base and gathering resources from all around.
Foolish chicken! Those walls are soon to close in upon thee!
In addition to the thrill of limited resources and limited time is the thrill of rushing across the bridges, not being sure if you have time or not. Will you make it? Or have you cut your run too close and will your precious resources – the ones you just spent an hour gathering, be burned along with you?
For a solid minecraft survival experience with an exciting twist, download Biome Clock Minecraft Survival Map!
Curse of the Lost Souls is a minecraft survival island map played under the rules and conditions of a minecraft adventure island map. In just a couple days (or perhaps right now if you’re reading this in a couple days time) you won’t have to use your self control to impose adventure conditions on yourself – those adventure conditions being not breaking or placing blocks, but simply using the available materials provided by the map itself.
So what makes Curse of the Lost Souls special? It certainly has that ‘x’ factor, which for me means the moment I load the map I am intrigued and invited into the world. The landscape is not only beautiful, but staged in a way a REMAX agent could be proud of. When you step ashore into a Tiki bar gone awfully silent and deserted you feel as if the adventure is just beginning, and indeed it is.
What makes Curse of the Lost Souls a little tedious? ‘Adventure’ mode in this map basically means ‘find the chests and read the notes in the file’, which is fine if you like reading notes and looking for chests, but it means that you’re probably going to break the rules at some point and I don’t know, perhaps punch a tree for the hell of it. Don’t feel guilty if you find yourself, I don’t know, crafting a workbench and building a purple sheep farm. You gotta get whimsical with it.

2D Minecraft is a minecraft survival map in which one dimension has been removed entirely. You want to work with length, width and height? Ha! Such decadence will not be tolerated in the two dimensional regime. In 2D minecraft survival you’ll work with just length and height. Those are all the dimensions you’ll need.
What sets this map apart from other similar maps, like the renowned Ant Farm Survival is the scope of the map. Instead of boxing you into a small space, this map lets you roam freely through all sorts of terrain -it’s just no wider than two blocks at any given point. Even with view settings set to super-uber-distant and panning out to a great distance, it was only possible to capture a portion of the map in the above screenshot.
You’ve been given a home where the zombies roam and where the only way to get around dangerous obstacles is to follow the old tune: if you can’t get over it, go under it – because there sure ain’t any way around it.

It’s an island in the sky, but this time the island is made of netherrack and your job is to find chests, build houses and slay a dragon. Those are a lot of hats for one player to wear, and this isn’t TF2, so the hats are a lie. Confused yet? Build a wooden pickaxe and smash your way through netherbricks to chop down a tree, then talk to me about confusion.
Deception is a very neat, compact little survival map. It starts you out with just two blocks of wood, a bucket of lava and a bucket of water and little else. It’s up to you to make your way off the netherrack island and chop down the tree and it is up to you to craft a sky environment capable of not only supporting life, but creating the tools necessary to slay a dragon.
The simplicity of the map is refreshing, and the survival experience is a solid one. Is this anything especially wildly groundbreaking? Perhaps not. But when you’re tumbling into the void with the only iron ore you have and wondering where the heck you’re supposed to find flint the experience is as deep as you’ll need it to be.
Oh yeah, did I mention the custom nether? In this survival map, an island in hell isn’t a bad place to call home.

We come now to the ninth popular minecraft survival map of all time according to me and my statistics (generated by pig men scientists of the highest order). Number nine is Sky Pyramid, a sky survival minecraft map in which you float in the sky and try to survive. Yes, it is quite a bit like SkyBlock (which appears quite a bit further up the Top 10 countdown) but it has some unique points and advantages which I will now list.
Sky Pyramid gives you a lot more space to explore and a lot more grass and dirt to work with than SkyBlock, which is pretty much a cobblestone generator of a map. There I said it. Sky Pyramid also benefits from knowledge of cobblestone generation techniques, but you could probably get away without them if you were prepared to work exclusively with wood and wood derived tools.
Unlike Sky Block, which hates you and secretly wants you to fail, Sky Pyramid loves you. It is generous with its bounty. Ultimately it’s just another island in the sky, but it’s an island in the sky where animals will frolic and waters will fall and where you can make your own isolated dreams come true.

I originally posted this on the halloween board which is here:http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=205721.0
I had a hard time coming up with something I could do for halloween in a week. I had to work on halloween night and didnt know that people were going to be dressing up. I went through tons of ideas and finally settled on being a rag doll. I was aiming at raggity anne but couldnt find anything suitable to wear / make for her. So instead I went with a dark rag doll.
I made everything in my costume sans the tights shoes and t-shirt.
The wig was an interesting experience. Never made one before and crazy to loop all those long strands around the base. I made the wig following this lion brand pattern : http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/60386.html?noImages=
I made the tutu following this pattern here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ambrosialove/522118984/
all I can say is tutu's are fun and I bought wayyy more tule that I needed! The skirt and apron I just winged with no pattern but it worked out well.
now for the pics, sorry they are dark!:

Two fake 'tantrics' who claimed to solve problems of people were arrested here today, police said.
The accused, Shamim Abdul Ghafoor (57) and Mayank Sharma (19), used to offer their services for solving problems like marital dispute, domestic strife etc to those who used to approach them, a police official said.
Ghafoor and Sharma hailed from Delhi and Meerut, respectively.
"The duo were operating from an office in Tukoganj locality since the last five months," said Additional Superintendent of Police, crime branch, Amrendra Singh.
They had even distributed pamphlets in a bid to attract gullible people.
He said Ghafoor and Sharma initially used to charge Rs 200 from their customers for performing some rituals.
"They would then start extracting money in name of performing advanced rituals," the officer said, adding that hundreds of people were duped by the duo.
The two were booked under various sections of the IPC and the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act.

Why not give homeless people jobs picking up trash?
As Trent Smith makes the rounds talking to property owners about a possible special improvement district in Franklinton, the number of homeless is an issue that keeps coming up. With neighborhood safety and cleanliness topping the list of ways a SID could be a benefit, Smith wonders: Why not put the homeless to work, earning pay?
“The safety aspect of it is not about pushing people out of the neighborhood, but simply making sure businesses aren’t negatively affected by panhandling at their front door,” says Smith, the executive director of the Franklinton Board of Trade. “One of the goals that we’ve been describing to folks is giving folks in homeless camps opportunities for employment. For example, picking up trash and pulling weeds is not skilled labor.”
The boundaries Smith is proposing for the SID are Broad Street on the north, the railroad tracks on the east and Rich Street on the south in East Franklinton. On the other side of Route 315, the SID would encompass the Mount Carmel West campus and then narrow just to parcels along Broad Street running west to the Franklinton Square Shopping Center near I-70. The plan is still very much in the tentative stage, he says.
“The folks we’ve talked to so far have been receptive,” Smith says. “We’re getting lots of questions [about how much money a SID could cost property owners in assessments], which we expect, but we’re getting a lot of great feedback about what property owners would like to see.”
Smith has a good personality for exploring the creation of a SID “because he doesn’t have any agenda other than working with the property owners and finding out what their issues are,” says Cleve Ricksecker, executive director of the Capital Crossroads and Discovery District SIDs. “The key in creating a SID is not to shove an agenda down the throat of property owners, but to ask them if they think there are things a collective effort could address.”
Ricksecker should know. His group is perhaps the most experienced in Ohio with special improvement districts. It’s been involved in the exploration of and legal process for creating SIDs more than a dozen times. Capital Crossroads is happy to share its documents and plans with other groups, he says, and has been consulting with Smith through Franklinton’s exploration.
Capital Crossroads will make its own rounds this summer to gauge whether property owners would like to reauthorize their SID, a process that begins more than a year before any agreement is put into place.
Within Capital Crossroads’ boundaries, crews tend to sidewalks and planted medians, there is a bike patrol and “ambassadors” will walk you to your car at night. The SID addresses its population of homeless downtown with outreach by representatives helping connect people to benefits and options for shelter.
Smith is aware of the challenges. “We’re not naive in thinking that we’re going to solve the homeless problem with this initiative,” he says. “But you know, if out of a hundred homeless folks we can impact three or four or five lives, that’s what we’d really like to see.”
The Board of Trade participated in a collaborative initiative last summer to pay residents to clean up trash and abandoned homeless camps, with the hope that homeless people could be recruited for the work. Project partners joining Smith’s group included Mount Carmel Health System and Jordan’s Crossing, a west side nonprofit group that provides clothing, food and other outreach services to people who are homeless or struggling with addiction.

Oldest Pearl Harbor Survivor Has Died at 106
Ray Chavez, the oldest Pearl Harbor survivor, passed away peacefully in his sleep on November 21, 2018. He was 106. According to his daughter Kathleen Chavez, the veteran’s health had been in decline in recent weeks.
Chavez, a San Diego resident, was more than just a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was a voice for his generation, and being the oldest Pearl Harbor survivor, his was a voice that was turned to often. Though he was known for being soft-spoken, his drive to ensure that the sacrifices made by those who were lost on December 7, 1941 would not be forgotten overcame his hesitation to speak publicly.
Despite his advanced age, Chavez made several trips to Pearl Harbor for commemoration events.
While many of those present during the Pearl Harbor attack were fresh out of high school—some had even lied about their age to enlist—Chavez already had an established life. In his early 20s, he married and had a daughter, but that didn’t stop him from enlisting with the US Navy at the age of 27.
Ray Chavez and the Pearl Harbor Attack
The year was 1938 when Ray Chavez decided to enlist. The world hadn’t yet erupted into war, but tensions between the United States and Japan were steadily rising. That didn’t deter him from doing what he felt to be his duty. After his enlistment, Chavez was stationed aboard the minesweeper USS Condor (AMc-14), based at Pearl Harbor.
At approximately 3:45 AM on December 7, 1941, Condor was patrolling the entrance to Pearl Harbor when her crew spotted an unknown periscope. They notified USS Ward (DD-139), which dropped several depth charges on what turned out to be a Japanese midget submarine. These were the first shots fired in the Pacific War.
His shift ended shortly after the encounter and he returned to his home in Ewa Beach. In an interview decades later, Chavez recalled being asleep when his wife ran in and told him of the attack. At first, he was disbelieving, asking “Who’s going to attack us? Nobody.” That’s when he saw the black smoke billowing over the harbor.
Chavez wasn't in the middle of the devastation that came to Pearl Harbor, but he certainly experienced the aftermath. For nine days after December 7, he was on continuous duty at various sites around Oahu, making it impossible to miss the destruction and death the Japanese attack had left in its wake. They were images that stuck with him forever and left deep emotional scars that would never really heal.
After Pearl Harbor
Over the course of the War in the Pacific, Ray Chavez rose to the rank of chief and served aboard different transport ships in eight battles. Although he managed to avoid physical injury, he retired in 1945, affected by the emotional trauma caused by the battles he witnessed. According to his daughter, “After a couple of the battles he saw, he started to shake. First it was his hands, then it was his arms, then it was his whole body.”
After the War
When he left the Navy, Ray Chavez was advised to spend time in a mental health clinic, but the Pearl Harbor and World War II survivor feared it would get in the way of future job opportunities. So he took his emotional traumas and went back to San Diego, where he found a job at a nursery. The complete change of pace and the peacefulness of it eventually helped with the shaking.
In 1957, Chavez and his wife, Margaret, adopted Kathleen in the wake of a terrible tragedy. Their daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter were killed in a car accident, but neither would let the pain of loss and heartbreak deter them from living. Kathleen was five years old when they adopted he,r and she later followed in her father’s footsteps, enlisting in the Navy in 1974 and becoming the first female jet engine mechanic.
Kathleen Chavez recalls that her father remained quiet about his experiences in World War II until 1991, the first year he was invited to a commemoration. It was the 50th anniversary of the attack and the organizers reached out to Chavez and invited him to Hawaii. The experience stuck with him and he returned as often as he could. Chavez was present for the 55th, 60th, and 65th anniversaries. As the number of survivors started to dwindle, he made it a point to travel to Pearl Harbor every year. At 104 years old, Chavez made the trip to Pearl Harbor for the 75th anniversary commemorations.
The Oldest Pearl Harbor Survivor
Ray Chavez continued to be honored in the months before his passing. In May, 2018, he was welcomed at the White House for a Memorial Day commemoration ceremony.
Chavez knew the importance of teaching younger generations and made it his job to ensure the memory of Pearl Harbor and World War II lived on. “It’s very important that the younger generations know and learn the meaning of war,” Chavez had said during his White House visit. “I would do it again if I was called to active duty, but chances are they’ll never call me.”

The golf rangefinders have tremendously increased the level of game play in golf. The golfers feel themselves much at ease while using such sophisticated equipment which allows them to take their shot with a lot of information in hand. The information includes the calculation of distance and some of the modern deices goes a step ahead by taking into account the obstructions such as the slopes and the trees which are normally found on the golf course. There are basically two major types of golf rangefinders namely, Laser and the GPS golf rangefinder. Both work on different principles and for this reason both are suitable for different players having different skill level of the game.
The laser golf rangefinder
The laser golf rangefinder (See more golf rangefinder reviews) is suitable for the amateur players or for those who are learning the skills of the game. There are several aspects which we need to consider about this type in order to determine its suitability for the amateur golfers. The laser rangefinder deploys a laser beam to determine the distance from point A to point B. The following points would clearly help us in determining the suitability of the laser golf rangefinder for the beginner golfers:
- The first reason for the effectiveness of this type of rangefinder is that it is an economical option. You don’t need to pay any monthly or the yearly subscription fees for being served through this device.
- It is easier to use this equipment. The majority of the models offer a one-touch operation to calculate the distance between two points. Further, there are no complex requirements for using this equipment effectively.
- The amateur players can only enhance their game level if they are presented with accurate results and this one is found to be a spot on device in terms of accuracy.
- The optics and the display for this equipment type are excellent for the novice golfers.
- Speed is an issue with this type of a device but nevertheless, the amateurs in their learning phase doesn’t require too much of speed.
- The other negative is that the system needs to have a line f sight for precise readings. It is again something which the novice players don’t need to have as they are mostly in the wide and open sections of the golf course to practice.
The GPS golf rangefinders
The GPS golf rangefinder is for the advance game players. It uses the Global Positioning System mechanism to get the distance reading. The results might not be that accurate as the laser but the pro golfers can settle happily with this one. The following are the main reasons for choosing this type of rangefinder:
- The players need to download the entire golf course map to take the readings easily afterwards.
- Monthly or the yearly subscriptions are required, which only he professional golfers could afford to pay. They are happy with the payments as they get a lot of excellent services through this type.
- Most of the GPS rangefinders are allowed in the tournaments which is another great reason for the preference of this type by the pro golfers.
- The golfers don’t need to have any line of sight as the equipment can take reading through the hills and tree obstructions that are usually the part of any golf course.
- The systems are not that easy to use so the pro golfers only can understand and use this equipment.
Never buy a golf rangefinder blindly, rather choose it according to your needs and required functions. You can go through the whole set of attributes each type of golf rangefinder offers, and decide by comparing them carefully.

3 Simple Ways to Prevent the Summer Slide
With the approach of summer, many of us are dreaming of late evenings with bonfires and summer days at the beach or on family vacations. The whole pace of life slows a bit with the additional hours of sunlight and fewer school related obligations. Meetings transform into barbecues and pool parties. With this new pace, some routines may be lost, but learning for our children can remain steadfast with a few simple tips and tricks. Every week I share ideas for making learning fun in my online community! But today, I will specifically share some tips to not only avoid the summer slide, but to help kids make a summer LEAP!
Three tips to help kids make a summer leap!
Summer Learning Bingo
- Read in unconventional places!
Read wherever you go this summer, have books at the ready for all kinds of fun adventures. Grab this summer bingo for some fun ideas to get you started! Be sure to check off as you read in each of these places! Share photos of your fun reading spots with us on Instagram @kaitlynclairbooklady or on facebook with the hashtag #summerreadingbingo!
- Let children choose easy books for their summer reading
I know I don’t like to do much heavy reading in the summer, so let’s not make the kids work too hard here either! Help them look for books that are independent and require little to no extra help from an adult. If you’re not sure what books fit that bill, have them do the 5 finger check. Pick up a book and start reading, as they read, put up a finger for each unknown word, if more than 3 fingers are up before the end of the page, then that book is not an independent summer read. It could be set aside for family read aloud instead!
Using the 5 Finger Rule
- Sneak reading into everyday activities
This can happen all year round, but definitely as you’re on outings like the zoo or museums. Anywhere you visit whether in your local town or on vacation, ask if there’s a guide or map. Assign children who read independently the job of being the guides. They can read about all of the wonderful things you’re experiencing! Heading to the grocery store? Assign a reader the task of grocery list keeper. Emergent readers can even help with this one as they will often recognize branding of common household items. If you’re spending long evenings together at T-ball or other sporting events, have a special tote of books assigned for just those activities. Consider learning about book-keeping or score keeping for teams. Read jerseys, sponsors and team names. Young readers can take a walk and read the world around them, looking for signs and other familiar words.
Finally, if you’d like to press the easy button and have fun new books delivered to your reader in June, July, and August, Read on! You can register now (for a limited time) for our summer book bundle subscriptions! For a one time payment of $65, your reader will get 2-3 books delivered each month for June, July, and August. These books will be curated to the interests and age level you indicate on the registration! No two mailings are the same 😉 To read more, and register, click below for more information!
Here’s to a great summer full of fun reading and lots of learning! This summer, don’t worry about the summer slide! With these ideas in practice, you’ll be helping those kiddos make a summer leap!

This post is not intended to scare crisologo lovers. However, the information contained in a note deserves attention, as it proves once again the potential of Contracting dangerous diseases from Pets, in particular from fancy rats. The chance of catching something nasty from decorative rats is small, but it is not zero! But if to imagine that at least half of the hosts kiss and smooch with their Pets, the likelihood of unpleasant consequences increases significantly. The added value of this information is because of documented medical personnel.
I wrote that after any contact with pet and its cage, in-game items, equipment, etc. should be thoroughly washed hands. A number of specific diseases transmitted rodents, as it turned out, not only through bites, but under normal domestic contact with the pet.
Medical journal of Australia in February 2012 described a case of infection women Streptobacillus in Adelaide (Australia), after she had close contact (hugging, kissing) with your pet rats. Continue reading
Metropolitan veterinary doctors warn that owners of reptiles need to be alert. Pets lizards, turtles and snakes can be perfectly healthy but be carriers of the deadly human Salmonella. Victims of Salmonella most likely to be children under 4 years of age, patients with goiter, and people with immunodeficiency syndrome.
In 2011, the bacteriological Department of Gorvetlaboratoriyu animals tested for Salmonella . Experts took a sample of the biomaterial 2224 mammals. In 31 sample veterinary doctors have found dangerous bacteria. The rare serotypes of Salmonella found in 19 of them. They belonged to a reptile.
So as not to endanger yourself, vets are advised to follow all the rules of hygiene after contact with reptiles . Even healthy Pets should be treated as potential carriers of Salmonella. After each touch of them, and after cleaning of the terrarium should wash their hands with soap and water. Owners of snakes, lizards and turtles need to remember that adverse conditions only increase the number of carriers of Salmonella. Continue reading
