There’s a good chance that while you’re reading this, your cellphone is either in your pocket or within arm’s reach. That phone helps produce tons of identifying data about you—and where you are located. The future privacy of that information may depend on a landmark case that the Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear. Carpenter v. United States asks whether the government can get records from phone companies showing the location of customers without first obtaining a warrant. It centers on a man in Michigan named Timothy Carpenter who was convicted of six robberies after his phone company turned over his location data to authorities.
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that the future of surveillance law hinges on how the Supreme Court rules in this case,” according to GW Law professor Orin Kerr.
Carpenter’s case could have broad ramifications for people across the country. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that the future of surveillance law hinges on how the Supreme Court rules in this case,” Orin Kerr, a professor at the George Washington University Law School, wrote in the Washington Post. Here are some more reasons why you should be following this one:
1. Your location data can reveal deeply personal things about you. As you go about your day with a phone by your side, your service provider uses cell towers around your town or city to collect and retain information about where you are. “Based on that, you can infer what people are doing—whether they are stopping off at a doctor’s office or a psychiatrist’s office, going to a political rally, an abortion clinic, or an NRA office, or spending the night at home or in another neighborhood, perhaps at a lover’s house,” says Nathan Freed Wessler, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union who represents Carpenter. “That’s really private information, and the question here is whether the Fourth Amendment requires police to go to a judge and get a probable-cause warrant.”

During 2nd Quarter 2009, the number of people watching mobile video increased 70 percent from last year adn people who watch video online increased their viewing by 46 percent compared to a year ago. Average TV consumption remains at an all-time high compared to the sane time frame last year. As of 2009 the 290 million people in the United States with TVs, spend an average 141 hours, 3 minutes each month viewing televisions. Nielsen data also shows Americans are using DVRs more than ever, watching one hour more of time shifted TV each month than a year ago.
As of June 2009, 57 percent of consumers with Internet access at home watch TV and go online simultaneously at least once a month. On average these consumers spend 2 hours, 39 minutes each month using the Internet while also watching TV. Their online experience at home is in front of the television almost a third of the time.

Godaddy completed acquisition of rival domain sales platform last month. According to a regulatory filing, GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) paid $71.4 million to acquire Dan.com (formerly Undeveloped.com.
I have been using DAN since it was Undeveloped.com. It is great platform for all type of domain sellers specifically for Geo domains, like .pk, .sg, .co.sa extensions. My all .pk domains are also listed on dan.com.
In July 2022, we completed an acquisition for $71.4 million in cash.
In 2020, Dan.com raised a significant Series A round of funding.
The original announcement’s phrasing gave the impression that it was a single-digit million figure.
If there were other funding rounds, I’m not aware of any announcements made to the public about them.
GoDaddy picked acquired a business that was stealing many of its for-sale lander purchases when it bought Dan.com.
Domain investors fear that this could lead to future increases in commission fees.

Are There Flat Genital Warts?
When most of us think of a wart we think of something that is raised up off of the skin and clearly identifiable. Do you have what looks like a flat wart but are sure it isn’t anything to worry about because there are not flat genital warts? If so, you might be surprised to find out that there are flat genital warts. If you believe you have flat genital warts or there is any question in your mind, you should visit your doctor to let them examine the affected area.
Diagnosing and Treating Flat Genital Warts
Your doctor will usually not have to look very long or hard to diagnose flat genital warts. Even though the warts appear flat, when looked at under a microscope or magnifying glass the wart will have a cauliflower like appearance to it that may or may not be visible to the naked eye. Your doctor will usually be able to make the diagnosis within a matter of moments.
If your doctor believes that what you have are flat genital warts but they are unsure, they may want to take a biopsy. The doctor will do a biopsy by numbing the affected area and then taking a sample of what appears to be a flat wart. The doctor can look at the skin under a microscope or send it off to the lab to be analyzed, and this will tell you for certain whether or not you are dealing with flat genital warts or something else.
When you have been diagnosed with flat genital warts you should be aware that not all of them may be flat. You may have some warts that are flatter in appearance and some that are raised and more common looking. These warts may appear one at a time or they may appear in clusters. Some warts stay very small while some will grow quite large. It’s important to have the warts removed as they appear.
Luckily, there are many treatment options for flat genital warts. Many doctors simply use an acid that will kill the wart, causing it to fall off within several days. Other doctors like to use creams that will help the body fight off the virus. In other cases the warts will be frozen off or removed with a laser. Talk with your doctor about the right treatment option for your specific case.

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, has ordered the distribution of housing subsidies in order to guarantee social stability and to assist citizens.
In 2022, the second package comprised home loans, housing assistance, and loan repayment exemptions. According to the Ruler of Abu Dhabi’s directions, housing perks include subsidies for dwellings and housing loans of AED1.5 billion.
Retirees and relatives of dead mortagors will have exemptions from load repayments.
The packages are part of the UAE’s continued commitment to enhance residents’ contributions to society’s growth by preserving excellent living standards as members of tightly knit, linked communities.

NSCD alumnus James Rosental has choreographed a vivid retelling of Bizet's renowned opera CARMEN. NSCD graduates Dominic McAinsh (BPA 2019, PPS tanzmainz 2020) and Alice Gaspari (BPA 2009, PPS Phoenix Dance Theatre 2010) join the cast as dancers.
James graduated from the BPA in 2016. His choreographic work has previously been performed in famous theatres such as Casa des Artes, Portugal (Chapter), Opera National de Lyon, France (La Belle au Bois Dormant), Teatro Arriaga, Spain (Dido & Aeneas) and Theater an Der Wien, Austria (L’enfant de les Sortilèges).
“To be able to reimagine and choreograph for a production such as Carmen at this point in my career is just a dream. With boundless energy and character written in the score, the music offers the potential for almost endless movement possibilities, a choreographer’s dream.
“I started working with [the Director] Barbora Horáková during my third year at NSCD as part of a collaboration in which I choreographed an opera evening for Leeds College of Music. Carmen is now the ninth production we have premiered together throughout the UK and Europe”
About the work
Set in Spain in the height of a scorching summer, the opera follows Don José and his hopeless passion for freedom-loving Carmen. With a set design inspired by Spanish bullfighting rings, this is a unique twist on the classic opera. There is no choir in Barbora Horáková and Martin Mutschler’s reworked version of the original, allowing the production to go ahead despite Covid restrictions.
The production runs until February 2021 at Staatstheater Hannover
On creating work during the pandemic, James said:
“It is such a privilege to be working during this time, creating theatre, pushing boundaries and trying out new things when the world is almost at standstill. We need this and we need to keep fighting for this. Our viability is something we should and need to keep pushing during these uncertain times.
“The whole production had to adhere to Covid regulations and at first these felt very restricting. We as artists love the notion of endless possibilities so when you’re tackling a piece full of love, sex, conflict and obsession with social distancing it is a bit of a shock to the system. How do you begin to search for the brutality of a fight scene at a three-meter distance?
“However when you get used to the constraints and the three meter distancing for the dancers amongst many other safety restrictions you begin to process and face it as a new artistic challenge, and start to push yourself and your decisions to new possibilities. Who knows, in some cases maybe we made more interesting decisions because of it.
“It also gave me great pleasure to have fellow NSCD dancers attend my audition for Carmen with two of them being offered full contracts in the show; Alice Gaspari and Dominic McAinsh.“


The strike of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has entered its fourth month, and lecturers of the government-owned universities will on Monday hold a referendum to make some decisions.
Local chapters of the Union in each campus have invited members for the crucial meeting during which they will be briefed on the outcome of the 13-hour long meeting ASUU Executives had with the President Goodluck Jonathan and other officials of the Federal Government.
The briefing will be followed by voting in favour or against the continuation of the strike.
Though some members of the union are still sceptical about the promise of the government, there are indications that the referendum will favour ending the strike.
According to a union member, referendum is always conducted before a strike is embarked upon or called off.
The ASUU embarked on a strike to demand the implementation of the 2009 agreement with government on July 1.

Eddie Lack, the Canucks' top goaltending prospect, had successful surgery on his hip on Tuesday, the NHL team said following the procedure.
Canucks assistant GM Laurence Gilman said Lack was expected to make a full recovery in six months, but said that time-frame was conservative.
“He'll be in camp and in position to compete for a job,” said Gilman.
Training camp opens in mid-September, about seven and a half months from now. Depending, of course, on how the Canucks' lineup looks following the expected trade of Roberto Luongo, Lack was expected to be a prime candidate to back up No. 1 Cory Schneider next season.
But Lack hasn't played since Nov. 24, with the problem initially being called an injured hip flexor, and he won't have played any games for nearly 10 months when training camp begins.
Gilman said Lack's surgery won't have any impact on a Luongo trade – where the Canucks will likely have to get an NHL back-up in any such deal or find a free agent to sign.
The procedure was performed in Vail, Colo., by well-known orthopedic surgeon Dr. Marc Phillippon, the same doctor who operated on Canucks centre Ryan Kesler's torn hip labrum.
Evidently, the surgery wasn't too onerous, as Lack was tweeting on Tuesday afternoon:
'My surgery went very well and I'm focused doing whatever I can to get back quickly! Thanks for all ur thoughts! // stork #GoCanucksGo"
Lack's numbers were markedly below those of his first two AHL seasons. In 13 games, he had a goals against average of 3.00 and a save percentage of .899. His record was 7-4-2-1.
The Canucks other assistant GM, Lorne Henning – who oversees player personnel – said Lack was experiencing soreness in his hip much of the season in the AHL and believes that affected his play.
“Some games he was phenomenal but some games he was feeling it,” said Henning. “It was a big part of (the poorer numbers).”
Henning said the Canucks decided to shut down Lack in late November in hopes that rest would heal the injury.
“He rested it for a while and then he tried to come back, but it didn't feel right,” said Henning. “He went back and rested it again, but it just wasn't working.”
Henning was an assistant coach in Anaheim in 2004 when the Ducks' star goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere suffered a torn hip labrum. Gigeure also went to Dr. Phillippon for surgery and came back as good as ever. He's still playing (Colorado), at 35.
“Giguere had it in Anaheim and he's still playing,” said Henning. “The idea was to get it done now so (Lack) will have time to get some training in before camp.”
The Canucks may also be looking to sign another minor league goaltender, as rookie Joe Cannatta is the only other goaltender they have under contract in the system.

Last week I had the opportunity to take part in something special at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Speedway, along with Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina, is hosting a race this Friday October 7th called Drive for the Cure 300 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In the build up to the race 100 survivors of breast cancer, along with many other North Carolinians, were invited to paint pit row pink. I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to paint a section.
I got to meet a handful of other folks at the Speedway.
Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women, but if caught early survival rates are over 95%. It's important to continue to invest in screening and treatment for breast cancer so that survival rate reaches 100%. I'm thankful for the work that BCBSNC, Charlotte Motor Speedway, and NASCAR are doing to make that goal a reality.
You can find out more about breast cancer here.
More information on Drive for the Cure can be found here.

Just as the 2018 NBA Tank Wars were getting started, the NBA league office and its leader Adam Silver made two big moves to prevent all out anarchy at the bottom of the standings. First, Silver fined Mavericks franchisee Mark Cuban $600,000 for being honest about the team’s priorities in a recorded interview. (Cuban had said it’s better for the Mavericks to lose than win at this point, which is 100 percent true.)
Soon after, Silver threatened the Bulls with sanctions if they did not return Robin Lopez and Justin Holiday to regular action. Chicago had sidelined both while healthy in order to, uh, scout young players on the roster (and, of course, lose games).
At that point, in early March, it looked like the league would actually fight the Tank Wars that were obviously coming down the pike. But as that battle for the worst records in the league has escalated, Silver has gone quiet.
There have been no further statements, threats, or punishments from the league, despite quite obvious gamesmanship among the worst teams. The commissioner made two big statements to push the dregs of the league to compete to win every night, and the dregs of the league largely called the commissioner’s bluff. Now what?
A perfect example of tanking activity is what happened with the critical Magic vs. Mavericks game on Wednesday. Going into the game, Orlando had the league’s third-worst record with 23 wins, and Dallas had 24. The team that finishes with the third worst record has strong odds (47 percent) for a top-three pick, and can fall no further than No. 6 after the lottery. The team that finishes with the fourth worst record has somewhat worse odds for a top-three pick (38 percent) and can fall as far as No. 7. As such, Magic-Mavericks was a critical game to lose. So both teams played rosters suitable to the goal.
Crunch time of the close game was particularly egregious: Orlando played Mario Hezonja, Wes Iwundu, Jamel Artis, Shelvin Mack, and Khem Birch. Dallas played Dorian Finney-Smith, Johnathan Motley, Aaron Harrison, Jalen Jones, and Kyle Collinsworth. The Magic won by five. So the Mavericks actually won.
Note that all the players went hard and tried to win. But their coaches specifically worked the rotation to minimize minutes — especially in the fourth quarter — for the teams’ best players. The players didn’t tank. The teams certainly did.
These teams are not heeding the league’s threats, quite possibly because the NBA’s policies around resting healthy players are specific and thus largely inapplicable to what the teams are doing. You know how the Bulls responded to the league’s threat about Robin Lopez? They started playing Lopez almost exclusively in the first quarter. In the Bulls’ last 15 games, Lopez has played 78 minutes in the first quarter, 21 minutes in the second quarter, 10 minutes in the third quarter, and three — three! — minutes in the fourth quarter. Mission accomplished.
All of this — the Lopez solution, Mavericks-Magic, Marc Gasol no longer playing any fourth quarters, and a dozen other examples — is a technically legal thumb in the NBA’s eye. Seriously, what can the league do about it?
The easy answer is patience: the regular season is about to end, and the NBA will be rid of all those pitiful squads until next fall. When the league reconvenes in October, a new NBA Draft lottery regime will be in place. While the new system doesn’t abolish the perverse incentives that create a benefit to be really awful instead of merely bad, it does change the calculus.
The odds will be smoothed out, minimizing the practical difference between, say, being the fourth-worst team in the league and the fifth-worst. It will still be more beneficial to be really awful instead of merely bad. But the benefit is reduced, which should deflate some of the incentive to ensure your team is really awful.
There will still be teams that go into the season intending to lose. (The Atlanta Hawks look like a top prospect for the worst record next season.) And there will surely be opportunity for situational tanking in March. It won’t likely be this widespread or blatant, though.
At least, the NBA league office can only hope it won’t be. Because what’s happening this month — and what’s still left to happen over the last five days — is an absolutely awful look.

WHAT IS TEA SMOKING?
The Chinese technique of tea smoking involves heating a mixture of rice and tea-leaves in a wok lined with foil until it smokes. Food is cooked over the tea mixture in a steamer or on a wire rack. It’s covered with foil or a wok lid to trap in the smoke for flavour. It’s speedy because the food cooks as it smokes.
WHAT TO TEA SMOKE
Chinese cooks favour chicken but seafood such as salmon, trout, prawns, calamari, oysters and mussels are great for tea smoking, too. You can also tea-smoke tofu, tomatoes and mushrooms.
Try a basic tea-smoking mixture with equal parts tea-leaves and uncooked rice, and some water to lessen the amount of smoke. Experiment with different tea flavours – try black, green, jasmine, Earl Grey or lapsang souchong. Add spices, too, such as star anise, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods and citrus rind. Some cooks also add brown sugar to their tea-smoking mixture. It’s not added for sweetness – it’s used to speed up the smoking process.
TEA SMOKING STEP-BY-STEP:
Line a wok with 4 layers of foil, allowing the edges to overhang. Unless your wok has a lid, you’ll need extra foil to lock in the smoke.
Spread the tea mixture over the base. Don’t spread it too thin or it won’t smoke properly. Heat the mixture until it just starts to smoke.
Place food in an oiled steamer, or on a wire rack, about 5cm above the tea mixture. There needs to be room for smoke to circulate or the food will over-smoke. Cover with foil or a wok lid. Cook.

All that can presently (September 2022) be gleaned about Janet Ellen
from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an English music hall performer who has been featured on just one work namely Will You Love Me in December As You Do in May?
(1905) music by Ernest Roland Ball
, words by James J. Walker and published by M. Witmark and Sons
, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, USA
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.


On the opening day of the Interbike trade show in Las Vegas, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper announced his state plans to commit more than $100 million over the next four years to improve cycling infrastructure.
“Our goal is to make Colorado the best state for biking in the country which will help fuel our robust economic growth and tourism industry, move us toward a cleaner environment and advance our goal of being the healthiest state in the nation,” said Hickenlooper during a breakfast time speech.
Colorado is often ranked the fittest state, and was recently ranked the most physically active state in the country. But it still has an obesity rate of 23 percent. A nationwide study found that kids only spend 4-7 minutes outside in unstructured play every day, but spend 7-10 hours a day staring at video screens. Biking is one of the ways Colorado is aiming to change these stats.
The four-year plan and huge cash infusion will allow Colorado to put more bikes in people’s hands and make it safer to ride bikes by adding bike lanes and improving driver education.
“We want to encourage riders of all shapes, sizes and abilities by making biking as safe and accessible as possible statewide,” said Ken Gart, Colorado’s bike czar.
At the state level, the Colorado Pedals Project, Bicycle Colorado, Great Outdoors Colorado, and many other organizations are working with the Colorado Department of Transportation, Office of Economic Development and other state agencies, to facilitate strategy, distribute money, and accomplish shared goals.
Great Outdoors Colorado invests Lottery proceeds in Colorado’s rivers, parks, open space, wildlife, and trails and has been the state’s single largest funding source for trails.
Bicycle Colorado, one of the nation’s first statewide bicycle advocacy groups and — now the largest — encourages and promotes bicycling, increase safety, improve conditions and provide a voice for people who ride bicycles in Colorado.

I found out that you can rotate images on the iOS Tumblr app. Neat-o! But it freezes if you play around with it too much (i.e., rotating and scaling nonstop for a few minutes). Maybe this is old news because I never use the tumblr app…
Found this young man leaning against a tree in Boston Commons, writing in a notebook: “It’s sort of hip hop, sort of poetry,” he said.
I asked him if I could photograph a page.
I pray for peace, I search for love, I hope you hear me out cuz no one ever does; we gotta stick together all we got is us; we can’t stop the negative unless we spread the peace and love;
Step outside of self, step into the world; notice how everything we do affects the future boys and girls; hate crimes happen every damn day; got my momz scared my sister can’t go out to play, because her fear is that some psycho feels like snatching kids today all these damn police but people still ain’t feeling safe;
Why does it take a tragedy to bring people together; we know its bound to happen, we should try to stay that way forever; now this is not to say I’m better; but at a young age I learned that birds fly together; it’s a survival tactic and I suggest we use it let’s come together, as we spread the peace and love music

Plano is not always the goal
It would seem logical that emmetropia is the ideal refractive state of the eye. It puts far away objects in perfect focus. Then the natural accommodation of the eye allows shifting of the focus to near points, thereby giving a full range of sharp vision. As we age presbyopia sets in and our accommodative amplitude declines.
While cataract surgery has the ability to restore a clear visual axis and correct the refraction of the eye, we still do not have a commercially available IOL that provides a wide range of accommodation. If we could restore 3 or 4 diopters of true accommodation, then achieving an emmetropic outcome after cataract surgery would be ideal. Depending on the patient’s needs and habits, we may often choose refractive targets that are not plano.
Plano is not always best
A recent patient presented to our clinic with cataracts and a large degree of axial myopia and corneal astigmatism (figure 1). For decades, he wore contact lenses and then used reading glasses for near vision such as computer work or using his cell phone. For the pre-operative biometry, he removed the contact lenses for an extended period so that we could obtain accurate measurements.
Cataract surgery was successfully performed in both eyes and toric IOLs were implanted with a goal of plano (figure 2). The patient was accepting of the need to wear reading glasses after surgery because this is what he was doing for many years.
The toric IOL alignment was spot-on accurate and the spherical power of the IOL was also ideal. After healing from the surgery, his post-op refraction was just about perfect plano in both eyes (figure 3), but the patient was not happy with the outcome.
At first it seems unreasonable for the patient not to be thrilled with the plano outcome and 20/20 distance vision without glasses or contact lenses. But after carefully listening to the patient, we understood his issues. He was under-correcting his contact lenses by about 1 diopter and then just using +1.25 reading glasses for the near work. While his far distance vision was not clear, it did not bother him since he spent the majority of his day doing work on his computer with the monitor about 1 meter from his face. Now, after the cataract surgery, he achieved perfect distance vision but requires +1.00 glasses for his computer work and +2.25 reading glasses for near work. For this patient, a post-op refractive target of -1.00 may have been better than plano.
Astigmatism can increase depth of focus
We have seen patients in our clinic who have reasonable vision for far and near, without glasses, despite being presbyopic. These patients often have a degree of astigmatism with a refraction like –1.50 +1.50 x 90 (which is the same as 0.00 –1.50 x 180). This means that the refraction in one meridian is plano and then 90 degrees away it is -1.50, allowing a wider depth of focus despite the presbyopia.
For this cataract patient who rarely wears glasses, we must be very careful in choosing the IOL and the refractive target. If we choose a toric IOL and deliver emmetropia, we will improve the distance vision significantly, but we will also collapse the depth of field. Some patients are used to seeing the world with a degree of astigmatism and this just feels right to them.
Specialty IOLs may require different refractive targets
With the use of diffractive bifocal and trifocal IOLs, a target of plano is usually best to achieve the desired wide range of vision without glasses. But choosing the ideal IOL power to hit this target is not easy and even the most detail oriented surgeons have about a 90% success rate. For a trifocal IOL, I would rather the patient end up +0.25 instead of -0.50 and we will choose the IOL power with this in mind.
With some extended depth of field IOLs, the opposite is true since a slight degree of post-op myopia will extend the range of useful near vision. The same applies to the early generation pseudo-accommodating IOLs and targeting a small degree of monovision can help with the visual range.
What does the patient desire?
Patient desires are the key in choosing refractive targets with cataract surgery. We use a detailed questionnaire and then an interview during the consultation, deciding what would be best for each patient. While most patients want the great distance vision that comes with emmetropia, there is an advantage to a myopic target for those who wish to emphasize near vision.
A recent patient was highly myopic and desired a post-operative target of -2.00 for both eyes using monofocal IOLs. This gave him great near and intermediate vision from 30 cm to about 1 meter away without glasses, allowing him to perform his work all day. We also target residual myopia in one eye for patients who are used to a mono-vision arrangement. Even for those who have not tried it, doing about 1 diopter of myopia is tolerated well by most patients. For the rare patient who cannot adjust to this mini-monovision, the residual myopia can easily be treated with an excimer laser ablation to restore emmetropia.
Remember that patients also get used to their lifelong refractive state. When aiming for a plano outcome, patients who have always been myopic will be happier at -0.50 than at +0.50 and the opposite can be true for lifelong hyperopes. Image size is also a factor since spectacles can give image magnification for hyperopic prescriptions but this will be lost when the refractive power is internalized into the IOL optic.
For most of our cataract surgery patients, emmetropia is the ideal refractive outcome. But different patient desires and different IOLs means that some patients will do better by choosing a target other than plano.

Manchester City has "lodged legal challenges against the Premier League’s 115 charges for alleged rule breaches," disputing the legality of the investigation and "the involvement of the barrister who is in charge of the disciplinary process." It is understood that City has raised the dispute "in relation to recent changes in the Premier League’s rules, arguing that they should not apply to investigations into alleged rule breaches before then." Manchester City is also understood to have "challenged the involvement of Murray Rosen KC, the head of the Premier League’s independent judicial panel." Rosen’s profile on his chambers’ website states that he is a "member of the MCC and Arsenal FC." The Premier League declined to comment. Manchester City did not respond when asked to comment.
The challenges are "likely to cause a further delay to the outcome of the case -- legal experts believe that it could be between two and four years before it is completed." Any legal dispute between the clubs and the league "should initially go to an arbitration tribunal, and beyond that it can go to the High Court and Court of Appeal" (LONDON TIMES, 5/18).
Meanwhile, City's dominant Champions League semifinal win over Real Madrid on Wednesday generated several columns on the team's on-field success under Pep Guardiola and its UAE ownership group:


Showing some love to her Spanish fans, Irina Shayk was spotted at the launch of the “Perfect Bra Book” in Madrid today (April 19).
The Russian supermodel sported a sparkly sequined strapless minidress with black heels as she posed for the press at the Intimissimi boutique.
And it sounds like Irina thoroughly enjoyed herself during the appearance- afterwards she tweeted, “I was soo happy to meet you today guys in INTIMISSIMI boutique in Madrid! It was raining heavily but so many of you came to meet me, I really appreciate it!”
Ms. Shayk continued, “See you tomorrow in Lisbon, at Intimissimi boutique at 1pm! In Moscow it will be at 7pm on the 23rd and in London at 1pm 24th!”

SUMMER SOLSTICE – Celebrations
For those who follow the change of seasons here is a link to Newgrange website, where celebration of the Summer Solstice happens today. You’ll learn about Stonehenge and much more of the world heritage we all share. There are articles, photos, free wallpaper downloads, and updates for your enjoyment, or to teach kids more about Mother Nature and the exquisite mystery wonders of our world.
TheÂ Summer Solstice occurs exactly when the Earth’sÂ axial tilt is most inclined towards the sun at its maximum of 23Â° 26′. The term Summer Solstice is alsoÂ colloquially used likeÂ Midsummer to refer to the day on which it occurs. Except in the polar regions (where daylight is continuous for half of the year), the day on which the Summer Solstice occurs is a day of the year with the longest period of daylight. Thus, the seasonal significance of the Summer Solstice is in the reversal of the gradualÂ shortening of nights andÂ lengthening of days.
We live in the hills and get the moonrise which is stunning in our canyon view. The sky in a big city suspended against the grandeur of open heaven under a starry night. Memories of other times (living in Southeast Asia and New Mexico comes forth), gifted wonderful seasonal changes celebrated in diverse cultural ways that I treasure.
Below is one of the greatest world poets, the mystical Rumi,Â who you might enjoy sharing while appreciating the moon.
Do you know what night does?
Night separates lovers from strangers.
Tonight with the full moon in my house
The moon is passionate. I am mad.
by Jalal-ud-Din Rumi.

Shortly before the 2016 New Hampshire primary, a group backing John Kasich for president mailed controversial campaign fliers to Granite State voters bearing the ominous message “What if your friends, your neighbors, and your community knew whether you voted?”
While the Kasich team’s role in the “voter shaming” effort was not revealed until well after the primary, the mailers caused an immediate stir in New Hampshire and raised claims of voter intimidation and privacy violations.
Last week, many voters in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District received similar mailers from the Republican National Committee on behalf of state Sen. Troy Balderson, R-Zanesville, ahead of next week’s special election.
“Neighbors talk,” the glossy missive says. “What will your neighbors say about you if you don’t vote? Remember, voting is public record.” The other side of the one-page sheet touts Balderson and bashes his Democratic opponent, Franklin County Recorder Danny O’Connor.
An earlier RNC mailing was even more pointed: “If you don’t vote and liberal Danny O’Connor wins, what will you tell your neighbors?”

How does policy affect mental health?
Public policy impacts people with mental illness in many ways — from health care to housing to criminalization. Changes in policy can result in improved treatments, increased access to services and better outcomes for people with mental health conditions.
How does research affect mental health?
Studies found that spending a larger percentage of one’s time on research was associated with reduced stress, and that research-only staff reported lower levels of work-life conflict and had better wellbeing than other higher education institution (HEI) staff.
Why are mental health policies important?
Some common aims for mental health policy include the promotion of mental health, reduction of incidence and prevalence of mental disorder (prevention and treatment), reduction of the extent and severity of associated disability (rehabilitation), development of services for people with mental illness and reduction of
How does research affect policy?
They can identify critical problems, research the benefits and harms of policy solutions, estimate the costs and consequences of policy proposals, and actively participate in the policy process to aid real-time decision making. The role of research in informing policy begins by defining the contours of a problem.
What are the key elements of good mental health policy?
It may include the following components: Advocacy for mental health goals, promotion of mental well-being, prevention of mental disorders, treatment of mental disorders, and rehabilitation to help mentally ill individuals achieve optimum social and psychological functioning.
Who creates mental health policy?
The majority of countries’ mental health budget constitutes less than 1% of their total health expenditures. A Mental Health Policy Project has been created by WHO’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Dependence.
Why should we research mental health?
Mental health research saves lives, relieves significant distress and improves quality of life. It also benefits the whole of our society by generating social and economic benefits that contribute to thriving communities built upon resilience, reduced levels of mental ill-health and less stigma and discrimination.
Why do we need more mental health research?
Mental health research identifies biopsychosocial factors — how biological, psychological and social functioning are interacting — detecting trends and social determinants in population health. That data greatly informs the current state of mental health in the U.S. and around the world.
What are the main causes of mental illness?
What causes mental disorders?
- Your genes and family history.
- Your life experiences, such as stress or a history of abuse, especially if they happen in childhood.
- Biological factors such as chemical imbalances in the brain.
- A traumatic brain injury.
- A mother’s exposure to viruses or toxic chemicals while pregnant.
How can mental health policies be improved?
Goals, Strategies, and Considerations
- Limit the number of mental hospitals.
- Build community mental health services.
- Develop mental health services in general hospitals.
- Integrate mental health services into primary health care.
- Build informal community mental health services.
- Promote self-care.
What is national mental health policy?
The vision of the National Mental Health Policy is to promote mental health, prevent mental illness, enable recovery from mental illness, promote destigmatization and desegregation, and ensure socio-economic inclusion of persons affected by mental illness by providing accessible, affordable and quality health and
How do you create a mental health policy?
Creating a mental health policy in 5 steps
- Step 1 – Senior management and key stakeholder buy in.
- Step 2 – Co-ordinate your approach.
- Step 3 – Assess need.
- Step 4 – Develop the policy.
- Step 5 – Review the policy.
What are policy impacts?
policy impacts. The effects a policy has on people and problems. Impacts are analyzed to see how well a policy has met its goal and at what cost. pluralist theory. emphasis that politics is mainly a competition among groups, each one pressing for its preferred policies.
How does research inform policy and practice?
Social care research can have an impact on practice through its links to policy formation. Policy-makers often want research messages that are clear, unequivocal and relevant to their current and impending priorities.
What is Health Policy and Systems Research and why does it matter?
Health policy and systems research (HPSR) is an emerging field that seeks to understand and improve how societies organize themselves in achieving collective health goals, and how different actors interact in the policy and implementation processes to contribute to policy outcomes.

ATLANTA (AP) Scarface was a man of few words after accepting his “I Am Hip Hop” award, directing the attention away from himself and toward the many that have supported the veteran rapper.
Rapper Ludacris introduced Scarface, calling him one of “hip-hop”s best storytellers” at the taped 10th annual BET Hip-Hop Awards on Friday night. The Houston-based Scarface said he learned from the best in rap and felt honored to receive the award before a packed audience at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center.
“It”s definitely an honor,” Scarface said before the show. “I”ve learned from the best. I”ve had the best teachers in the game.”
With Ludacris standing behind him on stage, Scarface kept his speech brief: “I”m not (expletive) without y”all,” he said while raising the award in the air before walking off. He was given the award for his musical achievements.
Scarface initially gained fame in the late 1980s with the group Geto Boys through the song “Mind Playing Tricks on Me.” One of the few Houston acts to win acclaim outside Texas before 2000, he became a respected influencer in hip-hop with his gritty lyrics and street wisdom.
“He helped build a culture,” Rick Ross said of Scarface. “I look up to him. I learned a lot from him.”
With 12 solo albums released, Scarface is known for songs such as “Smile,” ””My Block” and “I Seen a Man Die.” He has collaborated with some of rap”s greatest from 2 Pac to Jay Z.
“He”s in my top five rappers of all time,” veteran rapper E-40 said. “He was one of the best. We go way back since 1992. He deserves it. He along with the Geto Boys made a movement like no other.”
Previous “I Am Hip Hop” award recipients have included Doug E. Fresh, MC Lyte, Rakim, LL Cool J, Salt-N-Pepa, Ice Cube, Russell Simmons, KRS-One and Grandmaster Flash.
The show airs Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. Eastern.
Drake, who was the top nominee with 12, was not in attendance.
Sean “Diddy” Combs took the stage with Lil Kim and Styles P. He followed his brief act with them and performed his new single “Workin,” which brought many in the audience to their feet.
Snoop Dogg returned for the third straight year as host. The charismatic rapper once again performed several skits through his YouTube network called GGN (Double G News). He got the most laughs out of one skit about his addiction with riding a hover board.
There were several recorded freestyle sessions featuring Eminem and Redman. But the beatbox session with Doug E. Fresh, Nicole Paris and Rahzel earned the most applause.
The awards also included a taped pre-show performance by rapper Future. He recorded his act Wednesday night before a crowd at Atlanta”s Centennial Olympic Park, performing several of his hits from “March Madness” and “Where Ya At.”
Young Dro was joined by T.I. to perform hit street anthem “We In Da City.” Other top performers included Travis Scott, Rich Homie Quan, and Dej Loaf.

Electrolytes include sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride. These electrolytes are important because they are used by the cells to maintain voltages across the cell membranes and carry electrical impulses (e.g. nerve impulses, muscle contractions) across themselves and to other cells.
The dietitian creates a meal plan that accommodates the patient’s weight and needs, as determined by the patient’s record, and makes a special calculation called the carbohydrate to insulin ratio. This ratio determines the number of carbohydrate grams that a patient needs to cover the daily pre-meal insulin needs. Eventually, patients can learn to adjust their insulin doses to their meals.
Sugar addiction is no joke. Once you’re hooked, cravings can be hard to resist, leading you down a slippery slope towards obesity and other health problems. “Studies are showing that in some people and animals, the brain can react to sugar very much like it can to drugs and alcohol,” Doerfler says. That’s why when you initially cut added sugars from your diet, you might feel deprived for a few days. “When your body is overloaded with waste, you feel more uncomfortable when not eating that food,” Fuhrman says. “It’s like stopping coffee.”

In my book, there are three simple quizzes to help you know you need to detox. If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, a sugar detox is your ticket to feeling great quickly and losing weight painlessly.
Other Tests. Other tests are needed periodically to determine potential complications of diabetes, such as high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and kidney problems. Such tests may also indicate whether current diet plans are helping the patient and whether changes should be made. Periodic urine tests for microalbuminuria and blood tests for creatinine can indicate a future risk for serious kidney disease.
Packaged foods or meals: Some detox plans recommend herbs, pills, powders, enemas, and other forms of colon cleansing. Methods vary and often include products that are only available from the author’s web site.

Diabetes Care. 27 (9): 2266–71. doi:10.2337/diacare.27.9.2266. PMID 15333500.
Another critic of the ADA program is futurologist and transhumanist Ray Kurzweil, who with Terry Grossman co-authored Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever (published 2004). They describe the ADA guidelines as “completely ineffective”. Their observations are that the condition, particularly in its early stages, can be controlled through a diet that sharply reduces carbohydrate consumption. Their guidelines for patients with type 2 diabetes is a diet that includes a reduction of carbohydrates to one sixth of total caloric intake and elimination of high glycemic load carbohydrates. As someone who was diagnosed with diabetes but who no longer has symptoms of the disease, Kurzweil is a firm advocate of this approach. However, Kurzweil’s prescription changed somewhat between his 1993 book The 10% Solution for a Healthy Life in which he recommended that only 10% of calories should come from fat and Fantastic Voyage which recommends 25%.
Richard K. Bernstein is critical of the standard American Diabetes Association diet plan. His plan includes very limited carbohydrate intake (30 grams per day) along with frequent blood glucose monitoring, regular strenuous muscle-building exercise and, for people using insulin, frequent small insulin injections if needed. His treatment target is “near normal blood sugars” all the time.
Hydrogenated oils: Remove hydrogenated, rancid oils from your diet, including vegetable oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil and canola oil. Because these oils are processed, treated at very high temperatures, and combined with bleaching agents and artificial dyes, consuming them has been linked to many health concerns, including diabetes.
The Mediterranean Diet is a heart-healthy diet that is rich in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains as well as healthy monounsaturated fats such as olive oil. It restricts saturated fat proteins like red meat. In studies of patients with type 2 diabetes, a low-carb version of the diet (restricting carbohydrates to less than 50% of total calories) worked better than a low-fat diet in promoting weight loss, reducing A1C levels, and improving insulin sensitivity and glycemic control.
Almost everyone has a sweet tooth – and that includes diabetics. How can a diabetic satisfy that urge for sweets without overloading your diet with high glycemic index foods that are full of processed sugars and raise your blood glucose? The short answer is: try a diabetic smoothie. A diabetic smoothie can be as best diabetes detox as your taste and imagination. Made with the right ingredients, a diabetic smoothie can replace a meal or make a great snack that is filling without adding empty calories.
However, if you have diabetes the process works differently: you consume calories, insulin is released in response to the increased blood sugar but your body is unable to use the insulin effectively. Your brain sees that your blood sugar is still going up, so it asks your pancreas to release more insulin. But since your body can’t use it’s insulin to convert sugars into fuel, these sugars are now stored as fat, or they float around your blood stream. None of this is good.
You can do strength training with hand weights, elastic bands, or weight machines. Try to do strength training two to three times a week. Start with a light weight. Slowly increase the size of your weights as your muscles become stronger.
Doctors often use the full term “Diabetes Mellitus” rather than “diabetes” alone, to distinguish this disorder from “Diabetes Insipidus” which is another rare disease that does not affect blood sugar levels.
Simply add all the ingredients together in a blender and mix them well. Drink the mixture first thing in the morning before having breakfast. Since it takes approximately only 2 minutes to prepare, do not store the drink. Instead, make one each day after waking up for best results. Drink this for at least 3 months or longer.
Carrots are good blood regulator and also helps eye problems in diabetics. Juice with a green apple (not red) that helps bring down sugar level. Then add any other green vegetables. Aim to eat more greens as they’re the best for helping in regulating blood sugar level. Bitter melon, cucumber and okra have insulin-like properties that make them suitable foods for this condition too.
Water (filtered or distilled): helps to cleanse the urinary tract of bacteria and dilute the concentrated toxins in the bladder. Water also increases urine flow to reduce the exposure time of the toxins in your bladder and prevent bladder infections.
My husband is home from the hospital after his second bout of cellulitis, this one very serious. We had been juicing, primarily green juices, since the first of the year, but dropped out of the habit as life just got in the way. Diabetes is too serious to ignore. We are back juicing, this time for life.
In developing a menu, patients must first establish their individual dietary requirements, particularly the optimal number of daily calories and the proportion of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. The exchange lists should then be used to set up menus for each day that fulfill these requirements.
Meat and Cheese. The exchange groups for meat and cheese are categorized by lean meat and low-fat substitutes, medium-fat meat and substitutes, and high-fat meat and substitutes. Use high-fat exchanges a maximum of 3 times a week. Fat should be removed before cooking. Exchange sizes on the meat list are generally 1 ounce and based on cooked meats (3 ounces of cooked meat equals 4 ounces of raw meat).

On the matriarchal world of Muirin, sixteen-year-old Cadfael of the Dana Clan knew many things; most importantly that he was miserable living in his family's home. Unfortunately, every time he left home he faced harassment that sent him running straight back. Trapped between his personal safety and everyone else's expectations, Cadfael didn't see a way for things to change. But then he was sent on a surprise trip around the world to Ntombi, a land of dark-skinned people, harems full of pampered men and two siblings who seduced his very soul. Ynes, general of the Ntombian armies, spoke to the part of his heart that wanted to be protected and listened to. Macario, her only brother and leader of the men's harem, tempted Cadfael on a much more physical level. Ntombi seemed to be the place he'd always looked for and never found but his family's history and the political forces in Aingeal and Ntombi made it seem impossible that he'd ever get to claim a life with Ynes and Macario. Cadfael had a choice to make, a dare to face and the only hope for a happy life for the three of them rested in Cadfael's frightened hands.

Medline ® Abstract for Reference 13
of 'Sleep-wake disturbances and sleep disorders in patients with dementia'
Short or long sleep duration is associated with memory impairment in older Chinese: the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study.
Xu L, Jiang CQ, Lam TH, Liu B, Jin YL, Zhu T, Zhang WS, Cheng KK, Thomas GN
Sleep. 2011;34(5):575. Epub 2011 May 1.
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between sleep-related factors and memory impairment.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional study
SETTING: Community-based study in Guangzhou, China.
PARTICIPANTS: 28,670 older Chinese (20,776 women and 7,894 men) aged 50 to 85 years.
MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Demographic and socioeconomic data, sleep-related factors, and cognitive function were collected by face-to-face interview. Potential confounders, such as employment and occupational status, smoking, alcohol and tea use, physical activity, self-rated health, anthropometry, blood pressure, and fasting plasma glucose and lipids were measured. After adjusting for multiple potential confounders, an inverted U-shaped association between sleep duration and delayed word recall test (DWRT) score, a validated measure of memory impairment,was found, with 7 to 8 h of habitual sleep duration showing the highest score (P-values for trend from 3 to 7 h and from 7 to≥10 h were all≤0.001). Compared to sleep duration of 7 h, the adjusted odds ratio for memory impairment from the sleep duration of 3 to 4 or≥10 h was 1.29 (95% confidence interval 1.07-1.56) and 1.52 (1.25-1.86), respectively. Subjects with daily napping, morning tiredness, or insomnia had significantly lower DWRT scores than those without (P ranged from<0.001 to 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Short or long sleep duration was an important sleep-related factor independently associated with memory impairment and may be a useful marker for increased risk of cognitive impairment in older people.

Their involvement in the Charlotte community extends much farther than their downtown store, The Ski Loft. Doug and Nola Buck have made it a regular practice to be active in a number of local service organizations in the community as well as on board with many projects. For their efforts over the years, Charlotte Chamber of Commerce past president, Bryan Myrkle presented Doug and Nola with the 2013 Chamber of Commerce President’s Award during the annual Awards Dinner on Jan. 23.
The President’s Award is the highest honor bestowed upon a businesses or individual that the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce can give. It is selected annually by the chamber president to recognize a business, individual or organization that has made a significant contribution to the Charlotte community’s quality of life.
“I can tell you if you look back over the list of previous winners, it’s really a who’s who of Charlotte, a list of folks who have really helped make this a great place to live,” Myrkle said. “This year’s winners really exemplify that spirit.”
Myrkle said Doug and Nola serve as a shining example of what it means to be engaged citizens and dedicated local business owners. The couple has owned The Ski Loft for decades, but have really been a force in making sure downtown Charlotte is successful.
“They have served as mentors for other local small business owners and have done their part as citizens by serving in numerous community boards and commissions,” Myrkle said.
The Bucks plan to retire at the end of the year.

Rare Q2 Swilken golf clubs made from original QE2 bronze propellor
Made from the propellors from launch 1968 and created after the 1986-7 rebuild when the original propellors were replaced.
LIMITED EDITION No 0326 from worldwide issue of only 7500 made
Includes certification and The Q2 Portfolio
By the Sandhill Swilken Corporation (U.K.) Ltd
The Q2 set of golf clubs comprises of:
3 woods (No’s 1.3.5)
9 irons (No3 through sand iron) and a putter
The wood are all made from specially selected Persimmon.
The irons and putter have all been cast from the original propellor.
These clubs are all brand new and were unpacked and repacked after being photographed for this article.
Original wooden crate with Q2 logo and foam packaging included
The Q2 portfolio which accompanies the clubs give greater detail regarding the individual club and its manufacture.
The Q2 limited edition golf club issue is an unrivalled opportunity to invest in a unique marriage of history, tradition and craftsmanship.
Each club is cast in magnificent marine bronze alloy from the original propellors of the greatest ocean liner ever built, Queen Elizabeth 2
Each club is fashioned with consummate care, skill and patience at the home of golf by Swilken of St Andrews.
The original propellors were made of an extraordinary marine bronze alloy known as Superston 70* which not only has tremendous strength but which is also extremely beautiful lustre like platinum tinged with gold.
Given the great strength and beauty of the propellors, each of which weighs 32.5tons, and given their unique heritage and history is was vitally important that they be used for a fitting purpose.
Sandhill (Bullion) Ltd, the Yorkshire precious metal company, approached Cunard in New York with a proposal to purchase a pair of propellors that were originally the driving force behind the great ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2.
A successful transaction was negotiated, and so began the Q2 project.
Sandhill purchased the propellors with the intention of creating a strictly limited edition of superb golf clubs which would not only be splendid clubs in themselves but which would stand as lasting and valuable momentous of Queen Elizabeth 2 and as living reminders of the skills and labours of the Clydeside ship-workers who dedicated themselves to building the world’s greatest ocean liner.
The project had an indisputable logic
The natural beauty of this particular and highly specialised marine bronze had all the properties required of great golf clubs. What’s more, the propellors would return to Scotland which was not only the birthplace of Queen Elizabeth 2 but also the birthplace of golf.
To take the mighty propellors which had carved swathes through the oceans of the world and to transform them into unique golf clubs for the fairways of the world made perfect sense.
All that remained was for Sandhill to find a Scottish golf club maker who could do the mighty propellors justice.
After careful consideration and research, Sandhill approached Swilken of St. Andrews, a highly regarded company having all the qualities and expertise to produce a limited edition of golf clubs from the original propellors of Queen Elizabeth 2.
Swilken was only concerned that the clubs should be of a quality that would satisfy the demands of the most skilled and exacting golfers. Nothing else would be nearly good enough.
Exhaustive test were carried out to ensure that the metal would be perfectly suited for being fashioned into the highest quality golf clubs.
Swilken has won the reputation for making some of the very best golf clubs in the world. Like the Cunard Line the company employs only the finest materials, expertise and craftsmen as well as the most up-to-date technology to create clubs which are a joy to behold, perfect to handle and a pleasure to play with.
After the separation of the propellor blades from the boss by use of thermic lance, which cuts the metal at a temperature of 2800 degrees C, the metal was converted into ingots for transportation to the Swilken Foundry at St. Andrews.
Designers and golf master craftsmen laboured long and hard to perfect a design, a look, a finish and a feel that combined the best of the old fashioned club making skills with the latest golfing technology.
The result is the limited edition of Q2 clubs which combine extraordinarily beautiful looks and remarkable handling with a unique heritage and history. A heritage and history that embraces Scotlands’s greatest industry, the world’s greatest ocean liner and Scotland’s greatest sport.
Great golf clubs are a perfect combination of design, feeling and engineering. The whole is far greater than the sum of the parts, and a great clue combines elegance , efficiency and effortless performance.
The design take very careful account of the various materials used, and their weighting characteristics to ensure that each club’s easy to use, beautiful in appearance and an inspiration to the player when he addresses the ball.
The feeling of the club is of crucial importance. To achieve complete consistency of feeling there must be a perfect marriage between the flex off the shaft, the weight of the head and the cushioning of the grip.
The feeling of the club is not easy to achieve, which is why the swing index system is used. The swing index system takes into account the static and dynamic characteristics of the whole club and combines them with swing geometry to achieve the perfect matched set.
Good engineering is essential to ensure the highest possible consistency and quality control in production. Good engineering is the key to good production after the design has been perfected.
By combining unique materials with excellent design, skilled craftsmanship, proven engineering theories and know geometric and ezgononomic characteristics, Q2 golf clubs, set a standard in golfing excellence demanded by the most discerning golfers.

I wrote back in June that I’d not done much frog gigging over the last several years and was excited to craft a new gig that I dubbed, Kathleen. Well, Kathleen’s chastity remained virtuous for far longer than I had anticipated this summer. Rainouts, bailouts, early-morning work, etc. conspired to keep us sidelined for a few weeks as I’d gaze longingly at her in the corner of my office, ready to make a move.
When the time finally came, it was on the shores of Lake Hollingsworth – the boardwalk in front of FSC over the little marsh there was greatly appreciated.
Innuendo aside – and skipping the potential for semi-obvious jokes about what the co-eds probably do on that deck at night – we got a few croakers, but there just wasn’t a bunch of frogs. Strange hunting at the college, but it was a close ride from my house, and we figured it’d be virginal territory; in fact, there was actually another group of guys trying their hand at a gig out there. Wouldn’t have bet on that.
A few buddies tried a local golf course – with permission – without any luck. A few trips were made to various lakes. With all the rain this summer, we assumed it’d be hopping (ha!). It wasn’t until we visited our Polk County lease when we had a decent hunt along a ditch that runs between a cow pond and a marsh. It was by no means a cooler-filling trip but still fun.
In all actuality, too much water really hindered our efforts there, scattering the frogs through that marsh. Asking around, several veteran frog leggers have reported more difficulty during this super-wet summer as the rivers and lakes are too swollen to find the right habitat. A couple folks have said it’ll get better as we transition into early fall when the rains ease.
I’m no expert on the matter, so I’ll just have to see. In the meantime, check out this Facebook page – Frog Gigging in Polk County, FL. The title is self-explanatory.
If anyone has any tips they’d like to share, feel free to drop a line. Kathleen is ready for more action. She’s tough to please.
