Here are a few of the reviews I have received on Amazon.
Lovingly detailed, sometimes heart-wrenching stories of real women who come alive on the page. Moving and powerful. Anne R. Allen, bestselling author of the Camilla Randall Mysteries.
I’ve long been a fan of Elizabeth A. Havey. I’ve followed and welcomed her writings on Boomer Highway.org, an exceptional blog of perceptive and stylish essays. Now with the publication of A Mother’s Time Capsule, Havey gives us an important collection of powerful and beautifully crafted short stories, and begins to take her place as an important American writer. James Wagenvoord, author
This author has a unique voice and writes with such profound emotion it’s as if she’s left a part of herself on every page. These are exceptional stories, ones I found myself immersed in from first sentence to last. I enjoyed the fact they were short stories and I could dole them out as a treat at the end of the day–but I cheated (just like I do when I try to limit chocolate) and read more, because I didn’t want the stories to end. Highly recommended, and I’m looking forward to her next book. Amy
The extraordinary imagery of these stories is evocative of the early years when I was raising my two sons. “A Mother’s Time Capsule” artfully describes the woes and wonder of being a mother. I will read it over many times. Geri
Havey writes beautifully with a sharp eye for the particular and deep sympathy for her characters. Anyone interested in nursing and parenting should read her stories. John
We all lead busy lives and being able to read one story–with a piece of the chocolate of your choice–is a great way to relax at the end of the day.
Thanks for your support. Questions about the giveaway? You can leave a comment on Boomer Highway.

KINGSTON, JAMAICA – The Jamaica Tourist Board has added a dedicated page to its website for visitors who desire to volunteer during their vacation trip to the island. Visitors can now easily plan volunteer experiences through this voluntourism initiative.The combination of voluntary service with the traditional elements of a vacation has become increasingly popular in Jamaica and the website page is in response to this growing trend. One of the first of its kind in the Caribbean, the page offers a database of faith, health and education based volunteer programs, with more categories to appear as they become available.
“The Jamaica Tourist Board is focused on allowing our visitors to have an enriching experience while they vacation on the island,” said Paul Pennicook, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism. “While our Jamaican people will surely benefit from the assistance of altruistic travellers, we hope that they take home an experience of a lifetime, and share the celebrated Jamaican spirit and warmth with their friends and family.”
From the home page of VisitJamaica.com, visitors can go to the “Feel the Vibe” tab and click “Volunteer in Jamaica.” There are a host of activities for travellers to choose from, along with an FAQ section and guide to volunteering in Jamaica.
A sample of volunteer opportunities includes:
Girl’s Brigade (GB) is one of the available programs that travellers can integrate into their trip to Kingston. Volunteers will participate in empowerment sessions with girls imparting values and principles which equip them for the future.
The health-based volunteer program, Angels of Love, provides voluntary services for critically ill underprivileged children of Jamaica. Whether it is a visit to the hospital to play with the children, or helping plan a fundraising event, visitors are encouraged to donate some of their time.
Children First is an organization that caters to the needs of children through education. Volunteers can participate by helping out at the youth wellness centre, the mobile health clinic or through a variety of empowerment and educational programs.

Seems that the Roslin Hotel is earning a lot of dough, it is planning to cough up £750,000 to build a conference and function suite to cater the demands arising due to its growing popularity.
The Regis group, which is the owner of the Roslin hotel, has already submitted the application to the South end Council. It wants to convert the house at 9 Thorpe Esplanade into the conference hall.
They have also contemplated the thought of building a two storied building, which would connect the hotel with the house and would have 8 rooms and 13 parking spaces. Did they suddenly fall short of space or did their business increase overnight?
Jacqui Harris, the sales manager, said “We are hoping to create up to 50 new jobs, which can only be good for the town.” They also believe that the 2012 London Olympics will rope in a lot of business for them, so they are gearing up for the D-day.
Not only this, they actually had 28 rooms in mind, but due to shortage of space they had to settle to 8. They are trying every possible action to increase the number, even now!

Cape Town Again Pushes Back The Day It Thinks It'll Run Out Of Water
The new "Day Zero" for Cape Town, South Africa, is July 9, according to the city government's official tracker.
Officials in Cape Town, South Africa, once again pushed back the date when the city is expected to run out of water.
According to the government's official tracker, the new "Day Zero" is July 9.
And a government official told Business Insider the city decided to transfer a large amount of water from a different part of South Africa into its dam, further pushing back the estimate.
Cape Town residents are currently allowed just 50 liters of water a day, which is a little more than 13 gallons.
If Day Zero does come, the city plans to turn off taps to residential areas, and residents would be forced to go to checkpoints to get water.

A late 36-yard touchdown pass from Carson May topped off a Jones, 32-26, win over Guthrie. Just nine hours before kick, the Bluejays did not know there was even going to be a road game.
Jones head coach Dave Martin was down to one of his last options of having a Friday night game. Due to COVID concerns, Meeker was forced to cancel their game with Jones at 9:30 a.m. on game day.
After a few denied calls to other high school programs not wanting to play the 2A Longhorns on short notice, Guthrie head coach Kelly Beeby accepted the game despite practicing all week believing they could be off the playing field for two weeks.
Guthrie knew there was a high probability they were going to finish third in District 5A-2 and play Southeast in round one of the playoffs. However, with Southeast opting out of the playoffs, the Jays were going to be without another game on the schedule.
Without accepting the Jones offer, Guthrie would have played one game (McGuinness) in four weeks after cancellations from Lawton Ike, Western Heights and Southeast. Not a good recipe for going on the road to Lawton MacArthur for a second round playoff game on Nov. 20.
Jones, a strong Oklahoma football program, has won 67 of their last 75 games with the win over Guthrie. That’s an 89 percent winning percentage.
The Longhorns, who have Class 5A looking athletes and an offensive minded head coach, took advantage of four Guthrie turnovers and jumped out to a 20-7 second quarter lead.
Guthrie rallied for three scores in the next five minutes to take a halftime lead of 26-20, but that would be the last of the Jays scoring playe in the game.
May, a 6’5″ top 2021 Oklahoma quarterback prospect, finished with two scores on the ground and two more in the air, including the game winner with 37 seconds left in the game.
Senior Kaiden Ballard Stevenson hauled in a 49-yard scored for the Jays first points in the first quarter. Fellow senior quarterback Josh Rains had touchdown runs of 10 and 32 yards. Isiah Hammons added a 23-yard run just before the half.


Vertical external cavity surface emitting PbTe/CdTe quantum dot lasers for the mid-infrared spectral region
Sprache des Titels:
Optically pumped vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers (VECSELS) emitting in the mid-infrared range are demonstrated with an active structure based on PbTe quantum dots (QDs) embedded in CdTe. In contrast to Stranski?Krastanov QDs, the PbTe QDs are fabricated by a strain-free synthesis method consisting of a molecular beam epitaxy growth step followed by a post-growth-annealing step. The laser emission of the VECSELs covers a wavelength range between 3.5 and 4.3 ?m by changing the temperature from 85 to 240 K. The threshold power is lower than 100??mWP and the output power is more than 50??mWP at low temperature.

If we take a breather or a step back, and momentarily, pause our emotions, then try, just a little bit, to see things from a lens different from ours, we’ll see that many of the conflicts we dwell on may not be as bad as we let it play out to the point they become utterly toxic.
Humans are naturally selfish. When we were toddlers, the assumption was the world should revolve around us and that is why developmental psychologists have held that the first few years of life are what’s known as the egocentric stage. At this stage, we assume the entire world sees things from our perspective. As we grow older we become aware. But deep down we still have egocentric tendencies deep down and they usually come out alongside rife emotions.
So what would happen when we try to see things from other people’s perspectives? Especially people who seem to hurt us?
Let me take the heated issue of polygyny as an example.
It’s easy to place blames on the man. He’s a narcissist who only cares about himself. He doesn’t care about his present wife. He just wants more variety. An entitled misogynistic man. He does not even have that much money.
The initial wife who doesn’t want to share her husband? She’s a feminist. A modern Ruth, ruthlessly callous against other women. A selfish woman who doesn’t care about any one else.
The incoming wife? A Homewrecker. She wants to enjoy what she didn’t cook. She’s wants a ready-made man. She has low self-esteem to begin with.
But what if we see these from those people’s perspectives?
Perhaps the man sees it as a form of servant leadership and expanding his potential to be the best version of himself. He’s attracted – in ways he can’t describe – to a specific sister, wants to be her companion, thinks about her, wants to take care of her – these desire came from a place he couldn’t control, yet he doesn’t want to lose the best thing in his life, his wife and family. He could do as many men do, engage in a well covered affair. But he didn’t want that. The woman he likes deserves to be dignified. He’s a sincere, honest person. So he wrestles with his emotions. He does not want to hurt his wife. He does not want to be unfulfilled either.
The initial wife has been comfortable being the only one in her husband’s life and it’s just not easy to switch not being the only person in charge of his affairs anymore. What should she do when he leaves for the other woman? Things she’s never experienced. What guarantees does she have that things won’t change for the worse? Will her husband still be in tune? These are her fears and many more. Will the time be enough for her and her children? The resources? Won’t his man, now their man, be stretched too thin?
Perhaps the incoming wife just wants a man to call hers too and she’s willing to let go of her ideal of being the only wife too. She has everything but a man and now she’s accepted to settle for someone that’s not ideal. A single man. She wants to have companionship too and wants to be a mother. She does not want flings; she wants a relationship with commitment. She doesn’t want to wreck any home, she just wants a home too.
If we get past the hot emotions or just pause them, then think of the other person’s perspective too, perhaps we’ll have level headed conversations and there will be less conflicts and we will show compassion in many of our disagreements with people.
Remember that person has needs and motives that don’t involve hurting you. At work. At school. They’re just looking out for themselves just as you’re. They can frame it better. You can frame it better. But they’re usually not necessary out to get you.

The Patriots pushed their roster back up to the 90-man limit today, by signing Rutgers rookie free agent receiver Mark Harrison, and Notre Dame kicker David Ruffer, the team announced.
Harrison, a 6-3, 231 pound target, is the fifth Rutgers player joining the Pats this year, and seventh overall on the roster. He's the second Scarlet Knight free agent signed along with cornerback Brandon Jones. The Pats had drafted three (Logan Ryan, Duron Harmon, Steve Beauharnais) Rutgers players.
Ruffer, meanwhile, will provide some competition for Stephen Gostkowski. The Pats already brought in rookie free agent and Ray Guy Award winner Ryan Allen to compete with Zoltan Mesko.

As a citizen of Millcreek Township, I continue to be surprised at the lack of concern by some citizens for the democratic principles that have guided our country since its beginning.
The majority of the early colonists didn't say, "We are happy with our government, King George has done a pretty good job taking care of us," or "We don't mind paying high taxes without representation."
They didn't say, "We don't want more government." They said, "We want our own government." They sought self-determination and control of their own destiny. They were not content with the perceived status quo; they were not afraid of change.
Of course there were growing pains, but as we all know, our forefathers' efforts were worth it. They left a legacy for generations to come. To avoid something new, why would Millcreek citizens want to pay rising county taxes when newly incorporated neighboring cities pay less taxes than we currently do?
We must not be so focused on our own wants and fears that we fail to understand the legacy that we leave behind. Status quo is not an option. Our vibrant community deserves better.

Great Britain (1620-24) crown Dav-3760
This specimen was lot 30757 in Heritage sale 3035 (Long Beach, September 2014), where it sold for $2,350. The catalog description noted, "James I Crown ND (1620-24) XF40 NGC, Third coinage, Grass ground-line and obverse colon stops, Rome mm. A handsome pebble-gray example with a considerable amount of detail on the armored rider and horse. Light pitting on the flan is present and typical of these crowns; however, the reverse displays some brightness in the protected areas and is highly appealing. While concentrated areas of softness exist, they are relegated to the reverse. A highly coveted type and very desirable selection."

Pinchak: the only thing that happens when I kick someone is that the AI finishes his turn.
Since Rome already finished his turns himself but forgot to end the turn this wouldn't hurt him.
I'm thinking about finishing turns for everyone who misses more then 3 turns in a row.
And especially because this game is going to last years we should focus on moving forwards.
4 hours per turn means that the game can 1000-2000 hours earlier. That's actually months.
I'm not talking about people who need much time to finish their turns, but about people who don't finish their turns at all.

- The basis for modern vehicle/mobile asset management techniques.
- A fusion of information technology and long-distance transmission of data.
- Technology often associated with GPS tracking and fleet management.
- A tool made possible via the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).
- A system for organizations address to accountability, compliance, efficiency, safety, and customer service.
What is Telematics?
If you’re asking “what is telematics?” the short answer is that it’s the basis of modern fleet management practices. But if you want to get technical, telematics is a system that marries information technology with telecommunications. Also, you could define it as the long-distance transmission of computerized information. It has evolved over the years and narrowly associates with GPS tracking or fleet management.
The system is based on devices installed inside vehicles, which then use cellular networks to transmit data back to servers either hosted by the provider, or a third-party cloud server. Then, the data stored in the cloud makes the information available to access from any device with an internet connection.
And the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), a network of satellites that help triangulate the location of a device, is what makes all of this possible.
The rest of this article discusses how this technology is beneficial for organizations interested in solving challenges related to accountability, compliance, efficiency, and safety.
What Fleet Telematics Does
Fleet telematics empowers you with a solution to solve your unique business challenges.
The most common of these challenges is simply knowing where your vehicles and equipment are at all times. Also, there are numerous examples of using a fleet solution as a theft deterrent for companies and saving them thousands of dollars. The simple benefit of location information is the origin of this technology. Today, the technology has evolved to provide significant return on investment with more strategic initiatives such as safety.
If you approach fleet management from a strategic mindset — as a safety initiative or becoming a safer and more responsible fleet, for example — then you can begin thinking about how to use the technology to address bigger issues. These can include reducing the number of accidents, speeding instances, harsh acceleration, deceleration, etc.
Here are a few more examples of areas where your business could discover significant ROI:
- Cutting fuel costs
- Improving safety
- Reducing operating expenses
- Improving customer service
And cutting fuel costs, for example, can also cause a ripple effect that addresses several ways to save money: Fleet management software can address driving habits such as speeding. Encouraging drivers to slow down and being able to track their progress makes your vehicles run more efficiently. Also, the software allows you to improve your dispatching practices. You can assign the drivers and technicians who are closest to customer sites, which saves time and fuel. That can also extend the life of your vehicles.
Third-Level Fleet Management
Now that you understand how this technology works and some of the information it can provide, you can start considering business challenges you may face. If those challenges include high fuel costs, safety initiatives, etc., a fleet management solution can be a huge asset. You can learn more by reading our “Third Level Telematics” blog post. This post discusses why it’s important to approach this issue with a strategic mindset. And it provides an overview of the innovative ways companies can use this technology. You’ll get a better idea of how to approach fleet management on levels beyond “dots on a map.” Finally, you’ll discover ways to mitigate your risk, increase profits, and cut inefficiencies.

The human skin is the outer covering of the body. In humans, it is the largest organ of the integumentary system. The skin has up to seven layers of ectodermal tissue and guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments, and internal organs. Human skin is similar to most of the other mammal’s skin, and human skin is very similar to pigskin. Though nearly all human skin is covered with hair follicles, it can appear hairless. There are two general types of skin, hairy and glabrous skin (hairless). The adjective cutaneous literally means “of the skin” (from Latin cutis, skin). Because it interfaces with the environment, skin plays an important immunity role in protecting the body against pathogens and excessive water loss. Its other functions are insulation, temperature regulation, sensation, synthesis of vitamin D, and the protection of vitamin B folates. Severely damaged skin will try to heal by forming scar tissue. This is often discolored and depigmented. In humans, skin pigmentation varies among populations, and skin type can range from dry to oily. Such skin variety provides a rich and diverse habitat for bacteria that number roughly 1000 species from 19 phyla, present on the human skin.
Knowing your true skin type can help the next time you’re in the cosmetics aisle. In fact, using the wrong products — or even popularized Internet hacks — for your skin type could worsen acne, dryness, or other skin problems. Your skin may cover your entire body, but its thickness varies, padding parts of your body more prone to wear and tear with thick skin and placing the thinner skin on the parts of your body that take less of a beating. The skin on your face is thinner than the skin on your body, with the exception of the chest, and deserves a bit more TLC, according to Valerie Goldburt, MD, Ph.D., and dermatologist at Advanced Dermatology and the Center for Laser and Cosmetic Surgery.
Daily Skin Care
No matter what your skin type is, a daily skin care routine can help you maintain overall skin health and improve specific concerns like acne, scarring, and dark spots. A daily skin care routine has four basic steps you can do once in the morning and once before you sleep.
Choose a cleanser that doesn’t leave your skin tight after washing. Clean your face no more than twice a day, or just once, if you have dry skin and don’t wear makeup. Avoid washing for that squeaky-clean feeling because that means your skin’s natural oils are gone. Cleansers known to work well for all skin types include Cetaphil and Banila Clean It Zero Sherbet Cleanser.
A serum with vitamin C or growth factors or peptides would be better in the morning, under sunscreen. At night, retinol or prescription retinoids work best. Makeup Artist’s Choice has an effective vitamin C and E serum and retinol available.
Even oily skin needs moisturizer, but use one that is lightweight, gel-based, and non-comedogenic, or doesn’t block your pores, like CeraVe’s facial lotion. Dry skin may benefit from more cream-based moisturizers like MISSHA Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream. Most brands will label their products as gel or cream on their packaging.
Apply sunscreen with at least 30 SPF 15 minutes before heading outdoors, as it takes a while for sunscreen to activate. Darker skin tones actually need more sun protection because hyperpigmentation is harder to correct. Try EltaMD’s sunscreen, which offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
There are ways to tackle skin problems without damaging your skin. Just remember the number one rule of skin care: Don’t pick! Picking at acne, blackheads, scabs, or other skin problems can cause open wounds or darker skin spots known as hyperpigmentation. Open wounds can lead to infections, more acne, or scars. The deeper the wound, the more likely your skin will scar.
Acne treatment depends on how deep or serious your acne is. Overall skin care is the most important step in treating acne, but for mild acne, you can use nonprescription products from your local drugstore such as:
salicylic acid (Stridex maximum strength acne pads)
benzoyl peroxide (Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 acne medication)
alpha hydroxy acids
tea tree oil
Always apply sunscreen after using these products in the morning, since they can cause extra skin sensitivity.
For immediate, inflamed, and individual pimples, you can also try acne patches or stickers. These are clear, thick patches that work as spot treatments to help promote blemish healing and prevent infections. Like blister bandages, acne patches pull out the fluid, sometimes overnight. It’s best to use these before you sleep as makeup can’t cover them.
Sebaceous filaments are tiny, cylinder-like tubes in your pores that are whitish yellow. These are often confused with blackheads, but blackheads are actually a type of acne that’s oxidized. Sebaceous filaments can make your pores look bigger, and you may be tempted to remove them by pinching your skin or using pore strips. But these methods may have more side effects than benefits for your skin, especially if you don’t do them properly.
Over time, you can also cause:
- open pores and infection
Topical preparations containing retinol or retinoids can help keep pores clear and clean. You may also find benefits from massaging your face with mineral or castor oil for one minute Another way of removing sebaceous filaments is with an extraction tool. This is a small metal instrument with a tiny circle at the end.
The safest method is to have an esthetician or dermatologist remove them for you, but you can also do this at home:
- Start with a clean face and instrument.
- Gently press the circle around the bump to see if the filament comes out. Be careful as excessive pressure can cause bruising and scarring.
- Treat the area with toner and moisturizer after.
- Always sanitize your instrument with rubbing alcohol before and after use to prevent infections.
- You may also see extra benefits by applying benzoyl peroxide after washing before extraction.
Natural Skin Care
You should see a dermatologist if your skin problems don’t go away with over-the-counter products. More severe acne, scarring, or other problems may need prescription treatment such as oral antibiotics, birth control, or topical prescription retinoids. Your dermatologist may perform an extraction for deeper cysts or acne spots that are stuck underneath your skin. Natural skin care uses topical creams and lotions made of ingredients available in nature. Much of the recent literature reviews plant-derived ingredients, which may include herbs, roots, flowers, and essential oils, but natural substances in skin care products include animal-derived products such as beeswax and minerals. These substances may be combined with various carrier agents, preservatives, surfactants, humectants, and emulsifiers. There are no legal definitions in the U.S. for advertising terms “natural” or “organic” when applied to personal care products. Consumers often express a preference for skin products with organic and natural ingredients. The personal skin care market based on natural products has shown strong growth. Clinical and laboratory studies have identified activities in many natural ingredients that have potential beneficial activities for personal skin care, but there is a shortage of convincing evidence for natural product efficacy in medical problems. Some natural products and therapies may be harmful, either to the skin or systemically. People prone to allergies should pay careful attention to what they use on their skin. Dermatologists may feel that there is enough scientific evidence to assist in the selection or avoidance of particular natural ingredients.

Voluntary discontinuation of precursor substances that release small quantities of formaldehyde, which is a carcinogen, as well as reducing levels of the potentially carcinogenic impurity 1,4-dioxane. Polycyclic musk fragrance ingredients, which have raised concerns as persistent and bioaccumulative endocrine disruptors, are being discontinued.
Dermatological research suggests that the bioactive ingredients used in cosmeceuticals have benefits beyond the traditional moisturizer (e.g., Chen et al., 2005; Zettersten, Ghadially, Feingold, Crumrine, & Elias, 1997). However, despite reports of benefits from some cosmeceutical products, there are no formal requirements to prove that these products live up to their claims. Biocompatible and environmentally friendly natural compounds have the potential to provide materials with photoresist and thermoresistant properties. Dehydroabietic acid (DAA), a naturally occurring diterpene resin acid, “has lifespan extension effects in Caenorhabditis elegans, prevents lipofuscin accumulation, and prevents collagen secretion in human dermal fibroblasts. We found that these anti-aging effects are primarily mediated by SIRT1 activation.” DAA may activate SIRT1 enzymatic activity, which may have a preventive effect on the aging process. Validated use of these materials and products awaits further assessment.
Side effects of Fairness Creams
If you follow the purchasing trend of the consumer world attentively you’ll at once discover that of all beauty products sold in the market, the number of fairness cremes sold per day is the highest, which no doubt implies that the number of customers who wish to buy such creams is also the highest. :smirk: Yes, everybody wants to have a fair skin. It is a sort of psychological obsession that if you have a fair skin you’ll be on the spotlights, get more important and get noticed even in huge crowds. And the prejudiced society furthermore encourages such beliefs. The matrimonial market gives preference to fair looking girls. Racism and the stigma associated with dark skin as it were, has gone deep into our DNA! So, young girls and boys today are crazily investing in the fairness creams quite ignorant of the many undesirable side-effects of such creams.
Types of Side Effects
Side effects of skin-lightening creams can include:
skin irritation and inflammation (redness and swelling)
a burning or stinging sensation.
itchy and flaky skin.
Choose the Correct Fairness Cream for the Suitable type of Skin. Try to use natural Products, You should see a dermatologist if your skin problems don’t go away with over-the-counter products. More severe acne, scarring, or other problems may need prescription treatment such as oral antibiotics, birth control, or topical prescription retinoids. Your dermatologist may perform an extraction for deeper cysts or acne spots that are stuck underneath your skin.

The Spanish Federation of Christian Lawyers has filed a complaint against two senior officials of the Generalitat Valenciana for an alleged crime against public health, for which they would have subsidized a contact application to practice chemsex, the intentional use of psychoactive drugs to have sexual relations.
The organization of jurists accuses the director of the Valencian Youth Institute (IVAJ), Jesús Damián Martí, and the director of Public Health, Ofelia Gimeno, of granting a subsidy to the Anti-AIDS Citizen Committee of the Valencian Community worth 5,496 euros, to run a “MsM and chemsex dating app”.
Likewise, it accuses the IVAJ of promoting "such a dangerous practice" among young people in the region through its different social networks.
Christian Lawyers denounces that said public body published a guide on Instagram in which the practice of chemsex is encouraged and statements are made such as “everything is fine as long as it is controlled. The moment consciousness is lost, it ceases to be a safe practice."
They also promulgated recommendations such as knowing the person who provides the drugs "can give some assurance that the drugs are as pure as possible." In this regard, the president of Christian Lawyers, Poland Castellanos, highlights that "from a public Administration with our taxes, a crime against public health may be committing, encouraging minors to consume drugs, it is reason enough for those responsible to be immediately disabled”.
As for the guide published on Instagram, the IVAJ begins by warning of "certain risks associated" with the practice of chemsex. However, he clarifies, "prohibitions do not prevent people from practicing it, so we explain some recommendations to reduce risks."
Of the advice previously published and commented on in a direct on the Twitch channel of the Valencian Youth Institute, the first focuses on obtaining all the information on effects, risks and compatibility with other treatments. Then, meet the person supplying the drug for "greater security."
Finally, "establish limits before consuming as safety words so that the practice is safe for all participants", as well as promoting "a safe environment with people you know", since "you can guarantee that they take care of you in any situation ».
Regarding the controversy caused by this compilation of advice, the Anti-AIDS Committee of Valencia lamented the "unfortunate" use of the word safe, since "there is no one hundred percent safe sexual practice." On the other hand, the Ministry of Equality avoided making any comment about the controversial IVAJ campaign on social networks.

Although we’ve hit the month of May and the late signing period will come to a close on May 21st, there are still plenty of talented, unsigned high school basketball prospects that are available for the 2014-15 college basketball season. Many of these players were released from a National Letter of Intent after a coaching change but now they have the option of looking elsewhere and finding a new program to play for.
Think that this list is littered with picked-over players? Think again. Six of the eight players on this list are among Rivals.com‘s top 150 in the 2014 national class, so there are still plenty of impact players left to be had.
Here’s a look at some of the best players that are still available:
1. Larry Austin: The 6-foot-1 point guard from Springfield Lanpher High School in Illinois is ranked No. 117 in Rivals.com‘s 2014 national rankings and was released from his NLI from Tennessee earlier in April. Sources told NBCSports.com that Austin will visit Xavier this weekend and Butler, Cal, Creighton, Georgetown, Kansas State and Providence have all shown varying degrees of interest.
2. Phil Cofer: A 6-foot-8 forward and former Tennessee commit, Cofer was recently released from his Letter of Intent but Rivals.com‘s No. 120 player in the 2014 national class might be willing to stay a Volunteer. Cofer met with new Tennessee head coach Donnie Tyndall on Tuesday, according to multiple reports, and the Georgia native has upcoming official visits to Florida State and Virginia Tech the next two weekends and is also getting interest from Georgia Tech and Memphis, according to Rob Lewis of Volsquest.com.
3. Jordan Cornish: A 6-foot-6 shooting guard and another former Tennessee commit — sense a patten here? — Cornish re-opened his recruitment and is looking at Nebraska SMU and Wake Forest. The Louisiana native is scheduled to visit Wake Forest this weekend and will visit Nebraska the following weekend before finishing up at SMU, according to NOLA.com’s Andrew Lopez.
4. Shelton Mitchell: The 6-foot-3 point guard from Oak Hill Academy is the No. 76 overall prospect in Rivals.com’s 2014 national rankings and recently got his release from Wake Forest. Not much is known about Mitchell’s updated recruitment, but Oak Hill Academy head coach Steve Smith said Mitchell will likely stay away from Wake Forest and the ACC.
5. Tariq Owens: The 6-foot-8 former Ohio commit is a very hot commodity as schools from all over are trying to get the Maryland native on campus. Evan Daniels of Scout.com reported on Thursday that Owens has unofficial visits to Temple (May 2) and Seton Hall (May 9) lined up while UT Martin has an official visit scheduled for May 13. Tennessee and Dayton are also still involved with Owens as well. UT Martin may appear to be the little guy in this recruitment, but the Skyhawks recently hired former Ohio assistant coach Anthony Stewart as associate head coach and Stewart helped recruit Owens to Ohio.
6. Ahmaad Rorie: The 6-foot scoring point guard and former Cal commit is the newest member of the Uncommited Club after deciding late this week to re-open his recruitment. Rorie transferred back to Lincoln High School in Washington this winter after spending the first half of the year at Montverde Academy and Lincoln High School coach Aubrey Shelton told Todd Miles of The News Tribune that Rorie would look at Pac 12 schools and set some visits. Keep an eye on Washington in this one. Combo guard and fellow high school senior David Crisp is a Huskies’ commit and Crisp is a cousin of Rorie’s and the two formed the starting backcourt for the Team Bradley grassroots program. Rorie is the No. 116 ranked player in Rivals.com‘s 2014 national rankings.
7. Elijah Stewart: The 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Los Angeles had a big senior season and the former Loyola Marymount commit now stands as Rivals.com‘s No. 64 player in the 2014 national class. According to ESPN.com‘s Joel Francisco, Cincinnati will get a visit this weekend while Boston College, Oklahoma State, Pitt and USC are all involved. Stewart plans on visiting each campus before deciding.
8. Jared Terrell: The 6-foot-3 guard is the No. 66 overall prospect in Rivals.com’s 2014 national rankings and recently received his release from Oklahoma State. Terrell has yet to put out any sort of list, but Boston College, Providence and Rhode Island are getting a lot of local buzz thanks in-part to Brewster Academy head coach Jason Smith naming those three schools with Terrell. Rhode Island was the runner-up last time, but they’ve since taken a commitment from guard Jarvis Garrett and assistant coach Preston Murphy — Terrell’s lead recruiter — has been hired at Boston College in the same position. Providence was also involved for Terrell in the fall but now more playing time looks available after another shoulder injury to Kris Dunn and the loss of Brandon Austin.

It therefore seems likely that the glide component of a cervical SNAG would create an artificial axis of motion by altering or blocking movement of the ipsilateral zygapophyseal joint. Stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal.
The literature on cervical SNAGs is limited, being almost exclusively descriptive and based on clinical experience Mulligana, ; Exelby ; Rivett et al. Your atlas C01 and axis C02 are very important vertebrae. This glide is maintained as the patient moves actively through the desired range of physiological movement and then whilst sustaining the end-range position for a few seconds.
It is acknowledged that other spinal structures, such as certain neural tissues or surrounding musculature, may play a role in the mechanism of action of cervical SNAGs, but are not considered for the purposes of this review.

Missoula Now 4 ½ Games Back with Six Games Remaining
By Missoula Osprey | September 1, 2018 1:56 AM
The Missoula Osprey carried a 4-3 lead into the 7th inning on Friday Night, but the Billings Mustangs scored four times in the top of the 7th to turn the tables for a 7-4 Mustangs win. The Osprey scored four times in the first 3 innings, but the offense stalled for the remainder of the game. Billings now leads the Pioneer League North division by 4 games on Helena and 4 ½ games on the Osprey with six games remaining in the regular season.
Billings scored in the top of the 1st on Drew Mount's RBI single to take a 1-0 lead.

Consolidating democracy south korea
During the Cold War, the authoritarian leaders often used the rivalry with communist North Korea as a means to weaken the opposition against their rule.
In the post–Cold War era, Korean nationalism expanded to include the embracing of North Koreans as “brothers” particularly during the presidencies of Kim Dae-Jung and Roh Moo-Hyun.
For the first time, however, state media referred to Kim as “supreme representative of all the Korean people.” That title was approved by special decree in February, according to the Associated Press, but has not been used publicly until Friday.
It’s unclear whether the changes will be codified in the constitution, but analysts said the shake-up shows Kim has fully come into his own, eight years after he inherited rule from his father, Kim Jong Il.
Pak will now serve as a vice chairman of the ruling party, meaning that those economic reforms are still being embraced, said Hong Min, senior researcher of Korea Institute for National Unification in Seoul.“It means Pak Pong Ju-nomics, or Pak Pong Ju-style economic reform is continuing,” he said.
There is little known about Pak’s replacement, Kim Jae Ryong, who has been serving as a party leader in Jagang Province, a mountainous area home to some munitions factories.
South Korea’s developmental experience between 19 under the Park Chung-Hee government left important legacies that are controversial to this day.
Since the establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948, how South Koreans view North Korea has been a big factor in South Korean politics.Kim Yong Nam, who was born in 1928, has been one of the longest serving senior officials, having held the position since it was created for him in 1998, Madden said.His replacement, Choe, was subjected to political “re-education” in the past, but in recent years appeared to be gaining more influence since he was promoted in October 2017 to the party’s powerful Central Military Commission, South Korean intelligence officials previously said. President Donald Trump, who has had two summits with Kim to discuss North Korean denuclearization and has expressed his willingness for a third, said Washington would leave sanctions in place.According to analysts at NK News, a website that monitors North Korea, Pak helped oversee a process of “radical reform” in the economy that enabled it to survive sanctions.Among those reforms were loosing control of state-run enterprises, allowing them to operate more freely in the market and to seek private investment, according to a 2017 profile of Pak in NK News.

By Sarah Mac Donald - 07 May, 2019Archbishop Richard Clarke of Armagh will this evening open a new exhibition at the Irish Architectural Archive on the Church of Ireland’s historical architectural drawings.
Entitled ‘A Visual Window to an Ecclesiastical World’, the exhibition is curated by Dr Michael O’Neill FSA.
It draws on his extensive research into the Church of Ireland’s architectural history, which has included the digitisation of over 8,000 drawings to safeguard them for future generations.
The exhibition highlights how the Church of Ireland’s churches, cathedrals and glebe houses have made “an indelible impression on the Irish landscape”.
According to organisers, “Spires, towers and pinnacles punctuate the skyline while in subtler ways the residential aesthetic of the glebe houses provide visual indicators of the former pre-eminence of the Church of Ireland – the Established or state Church until 1871.”
This is one of the Church of Ireland’s events commemorating the 150th anniversary of Disestablishment.
It is a collaboration between the Representative Church Body Library (RCB) and the Irish Architectural Archive, which will house the exhibition between May and August. A series of lectures is planned for Heritage Week later in the year.
While many of the churches featured no longer function as places of worship, and the surviving glebe houses have either passed to private ownership or simply disappeared, an extensive collection of almost 9,000 original drawings (plans, elevations, sections and details) documents this ecclesiastical world, providing an important resource for understanding the architectural, liturgical, social and cultural development of the Church of Ireland through the centuries.
The collection also covers many churches and rectories that are still in use and occupied by the Church of Ireland.
There are 860 drawings of the cathedrals of Christ Church and St Patrick’s in Dublin as well as the diocesan cathedral of St Canice’s in Kilkenny, while a further 300 drawings are of glebe houses, but the majority (some 7,600 drawings) show varying aspects of the parish churches throughout the island.
Some of these are the work of distinguished architects such as John Semple, James Pain, Joseph Well and William Farrell, William Atkins, Lanyon, Lynn & Lanyon, J. Rawson Carroll, and W.J. Barre, and are beautiful artworks in their own right.
‘A Visual Window to an Ecclesiastical World’ is arranged chronologically and thematically, aiming to guide the viewer through a representative selection of the overall collection and literally open a window to the past, telling the story of who designed these buildings – why and when they were built (or rebuilt). Dr Michael O’Neill FSA has digitised and catalogued the entire collection.
Ahead of the official opening, Dr Michael Webb, Chairman of the Irish Architectural Archive and Chairman of the RCB Library and Archives Committee, said it was “a particular pleasure to bring both organisations together for this exhibition.”
The Architectural Archive has the national collection of architectural drawings and is custodian of over 500,000 drawings of buildings from all over Ireland.
The RCB Library has a unique collection of almost 9,000 drawings of churches and rectories.
“It is wonderful to be able to display a selection of these drawings in the gallery which was specially designed for architectural drawings,” Dr Webb said.
Dr Susan Hood, Librarian and Archivist at the RCB Library, said the exhibition showcases in public for the first time some of the original drawings making up the collection at the RCB Library.
“It also marks the culmination of over eight years of hard work by Dr Michael O’Neill to catalogue and digitise the entire collection making it available for a worldwide audience through the Church of Ireland website.
“This painstaking and dedicated work (generously supported with church and other funding) demonstrates the Library’s capacity to digitise and share its unique holdings – literally opening a window to the past!”

Cycling around the neighborhood on my bicycle is definitely one of the top 5 things I miss the most from my childhood.
Few things in life give you a certain feeling which you can’t explain properly or even label up properly. For me, cycling is one such thing because it reminds me what a wonderful era my childhood was.
I would love to sit back on the seat and hit those paddles once again.

Partners indirectly affected by disasters may qualify for relief
TAX ALERT |
In the wake of two recent major hurricanes, taxpayers that were directly affected – such as those located in or residing in a declared federal ‘disaster area’ – were provided with a postponed deadline of Jan. 31, 2018 for tax filings and payments. In addition, these extended deadlines may also apply to taxpayers located outside of the covered areas, if they are indirectly affected because of a need for tax information from an investment in a business located in a covered area.
If a partnership or S corporation that is located in a covered disaster area is unable to provide the information necessary for its investors to file their returns – such as Schedule K-1 information from a partnership or S corporation provided to an individual partner or shareholder to prepare his or her Form 1040 – then the investors will also be considered ‘affected taxpayers’ and thus may qualify for relief.
It is important to note, however, that unlike those taxpayers physically located within a covered disaster area – such as the entity itself if it is located in a covered area – affected taxpayers located outside the covered areas – such as the investors who need K-1 information from the entity located in the disaster area – will not be afforded automatic tax relief. The investors must call the IRS disaster hotline at 866-562-5227 in order to request postponement of filing or payment.

Research evidence shows that people in Pakistan now want to better plan their families according to their resources. But unfortunately, nearly a fifth of married women of reproductive age want to delay or limit births and are unable to do so, simply because they lack access to services. Consequently, use of contraceptives in our country is amongst the lowest in South Asian region.
Our new prime minister, Imran Khan, recognised from an early stage in his political career the deleterious impact of a rapidly growing population on all aspects of our society. In his autobiographical writings, including the bestseller All Round View, he has alluded to the links of a rapidly growing population with depletion of natural resources, environmental degradation, unemployment and radicalisation of society.
It is reassuring that the manifesto of the PTI includes a clearly articulated agenda to deal with Pakistan’s ‘Population Challenge’. The manifesto declares that the PTI will deploy efforts to reduce the population growth rate for the health of mothers, children and families, for the prosperity of Pakistan and to reduce the burden on its resources.
Immediate measures the new government could take in this regard could include: (1) Make a reference to the population challenge confronting Pakistan and declare this a national priority when the PM next addresses the nation or during his public pronouncements; include it in the agenda of future cabinet meetings; (2) Announce an increase in fiscal space for provinces to improve their family planning programmes; (3) Express a resolve to revisit the NFC award formula so that it is linked to improving social indicators — and not predominantly population size — as the new mechanism for fund allocation; (4) Issue directives to ensure that population dynamics are factored into all development plans and, especially in monitoring Pakistan’s progress in achieving the SDGs; and (5) Establish a special cell of experts within the PM Secretariat, headed by the prime minister, to periodically review demographic indicators and coordinate efforts being made by the provinces to lower fertility rates.
The new government must ensure long overdue improvements in family planning service delivery—primarily by better leveraging the existing health infrastructure. To address the urgent issue of unmet need for family planning, the PTI government will have to embark early, upon major structural reforms within at least the two provinces where it has formed its government.
The reforms should ensure that all public and private health facilities — and not just the limited outlets of the Population Welfare Department — play a proactive role in providing high quality family planning services. Moreover, the Lady Health Workers (LHWs) must be reverted to their original primary mandate of doorstep delivery of family planning services. The number of LHWs needs to be increased to keep pace with the needs of growing population and the quality of services they provide improved through training and better monitoring and supervision.
The PTI manifesto calls for building upon and widely disseminating endorsements of religious leaders on birth spacing to safeguard maternal and child health. Involving religious leaders in family planning advocacy activities at the the grassroots level will go a long way in putting to rest doubts about the permissibility of birth spacing as a means for safeguarding the health of the mother and the child.
Lowering fertility is not just desirable but necessary for Pakistan to meet its development goals, including our international commitments. A revitalised FP programme is imperative but will only be effective if there is sustained political commitment and accountability from top to bottom
If the new government wishes to launch a determined and concerted response to the population challenge, the ground is set and all stakeholders are on board.

But as a recent report from the Congressional Research Service pointed out, the sequestration procedures provide for exemptions for many groups.
Among the categories which the law spares from the spending cuts are:
•Social Security benefits
•The Medicaid health insurance program for low-income people
•Payments to individuals in the form of refundable tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit for low-wage workers and the tax credits under the 2010 health care law to help people buy health insurance.
•Retirement benefits paid to retired federal workers
•Child Nutrition Programs, including the School Lunch and School Breakfast programs,
•The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly called “food stamps”

In opposition, politicians demand more openness when it comes to child protection tragedies. By the time they are in government, as it became clear today, they want "closure". And well they might, because the longer the seemingly interminable Baby P saga continues, the more the politicians involved appear opportunistic.Politicians opportunistic..? Get out!
The things you learn in the ‘Guardian’, eh?
The coalition's publication of the two Baby Peter serious case reviews (SCRs) is on the face of it an exercise in transparency and openness, and as ministers put it, an attempt to achieve "closure".Only ‘on the face of it’..?
They add interesting detail, and in places they describe well the frightening complexity and difficulty of child protection work.They also tell us how woefully bad at it so many of those supposedly professional and experienced and qualified public servants are…
I mean, even when the mother puts her violent boyfriend’s name down as next of kin, these bungling ‘care professionals’ don’t twig!
But in truth they tell us little we didn't already know about the events leading to Peter Connelly's death, not least that his death was avoidable, and that errors by doctors and police officers – emphatically not just social workers – were in different ways responsible.But we didn’t know that.
We could guess and infer, oh, indeed. After all, it’s been a feature of many of these cases. But the whole point of this second release is to show that it wasn’t widely publicised that it wasn’t just social workers dropping the ball (if indeed they even knew there was a ball).
What's curious is that the first SCR, written under the auspices of Shoesmith, comes to the same conclusion about the culpability of the various Haringey safeguarding agencies, from Great Ormond Street hospital to the Metropolitan police.Gosh, I wonder why it would be in Shoesmith’s interests to spread the blame game a bit?
Gosh, I wonder why it would be in Balls’ interests to focus the blame on one department?
This raises the question why Balls, along with a compliant Ofsted, declared the first SCR to be inadequate, and ordered a second "official" SCR to be written.
This second report, at least in summary form, reframed Peter's death as essentially a failure of social work practice, and largely ignored the failings of the police and health services.
I see you’ve managed to answer that, at least:
Why did Balls work so hard to discredit the first SCR? It is easy to suspect that Balls was anxious to justify his sacking of Shoesmith, and distract attention from difficulties with Labour's child protection reforms, which were supposed to prevent the very inter-agency failings that the SCR described.Quite…
And yet, Patrick falls back on his mantra of ‘it was all the fault of the politicians!’ once more:
… behaviour of politicians in this case has been dismal, right from the start. It was David Cameron, whose cynical prime minster's question time intervention on Baby Peter in November 2008 set the frenzied and hysterical political tone of the ensuing debate.What the hell did you expect, Patrick? That this should all have been brushed under the carpet? That the incompetent Shoesmith should have been allowed to preside over yet more Baby Peters?
…given the epic mismanagement of the Baby P fallout, perhaps we should be asking, not for closure but what politicians can learn and do better.Politicians didn’t screw up and let a hopelessly-inadequate mother and her violent boyfriend kill anyone.
We should remember that.
