Texas hospital abruptly closes after failing to make payroll
Weimar (Texas) Medical Center shut down Nov. 25, and the future of the facility is uncertain.
WMC employees are paid on a bi-weekly basis, and paychecks were due to them Nov. 25. However, the hospital failed to make payroll due to financial troubles, forcing the facility to cease services, according to The Colorado County Citizen.
WMC Administrator and President Irving Sawyers Jr. told The Colorado Citizen that after the hospital failed to make payroll there was not enough staff available to treat potential patients. Mr. Sawyers said he became aware of the payroll issue when his check wasn't deposited into his account.
Before WMC closed its doors Nov. 25, the 38-bed hospital's only inpatient was discharged and emergency room patients were treated and discharged, according to the report.
Mr. Sawyers told The Colorado Citizen the hospital would reopen once it regained its financial footing. As of last week, Mr. Sawyers hoped the hospital would be back in service by Dec. 2. However, as of Tuesday the hospital was still closed.
WMC is owned by Price Family Capital Partners, and a sign on the door to the hospital indicates the Anaheim, Calif.-based investment firm is selling the facility.
"Reinstatement of all suspended services is intended as soon as possible after the completion of the acquisition process," the sign reads. "The acquisition will allow for physician and personnel staffing of the emergency department and the full hospital targeted for Dec. 12, 2016."
Although no details about the acquisition have been released, Mr. Sawyers told a group of WMC employees Nov. 28 that he had met with some undisclosed investors who were interested in buying the facility, according to The Colorado Citizen.
Mr. Sawyers didn't immediately respond to Becker's request for comment. According to a crowdfunding page created for WMC employees, the hospital had not made payroll as of Tuesday.
This isn't the first time Weimar's hospital has experienced financial troubles. Colorado-Fayette Medical Center in Weimar filed for bankruptcy and closed in 2012. Price Family Capital Partners reopened the facility in 2015 and renamed it Weimar Medical Center.

My beloved Michael
Natural and effortless
Continuous fountain of healing energy
Unattached yet rooted
Where you took me
Only few fortunate ones ever experience
What you showed me
A deeper knowing of an unbiased self
A limitless horizon
In that space
Silence sings so beautifully and
Ecstasy roars so quietly
I am blessed.
by Bob Howells
I was where the air flowed wet and warm as jungle rivers
Through great pillars of tangle-green
The only sounds were those of listening:
For gibbon shrieks, python slithers, and the rustle of the last tiger slipping into night
I was where elephants would swallow their pride like peanuts
To bear me gently down mud slopes pocked with craters of their enormous weight
Asking only in return
For the right to fall in love every two years
Woe be unto the denier of elephant rights
I was where the rice today was cut two days ago, carried long miles, threshed yesterday, husked this morning and cooked before dawn
So that the cycle might begin anew today
I was where solace is the deep silence between a dusk of no lights
And the insistent arisings of roosters working the 3 a.m. shift
I was where smiles always begat smiles
And I guiltily admit that a culture now embraces a dance craze
Called the hokey-pokey
And somewhere a little boy is still pulverizing anything globular with a wand of bamboo
Known in his Lisu village by a remnant phrase of foreign origin:
And what of I, the transient observer, bringer of baseball, taster of bamboo worms?
I know again how little I really know
But I know that who I have become in Royal Way can stretch to embrace the bigness and beauty of the world,
And grow by the seeing, feeling, dancing, and dissolving of boundaries
That once defined a different man.
Dancing with Michael in the warm desert night
Looking at Michael dancing
He is smiling and laughing
It pours into me
This is the joy Michael talks about
I feel it
But it’s more than a feeling
It’s inside me
It’s outside of me
Recently I awoke to one of the most beautiful yet alien feelings of my life—I am truly happy to be Laura, without comparisons and without judgments. As I sat with the richness of these feelings, peacefulness settled around me. I realized in that moment that what I was experiencing was not only a deep gratitude for my life, but a new opening of my heart, so strong that it literally felt like it doubled in size.
Before Royal Way, before meeting Michael, I thought that happiness was something that would just "happen" to me one day. I was waiting for it to come like some mysterious cloud that would engulf my life and make everything feel good. Royal Way opened up my eyes to see that I create my own happiness. I have the power to choose to live in the moment, where everything is just as it should be.
Now it is my time to become a passage where love flows freely. Now it is my time to throw open the doors of my heart and invite the fullness of life in.
I went up the RW Ranch mountain heavy with my ego self. I came back light with sweetness. On the evening of day five, I began to have doubts. I asked myself, Is there something that I must be doing that I am not? Am I getting what Michael felt I might get from this? Thoughts like this hounded me for hours. Then I sat to meditate. With every breath I called to God to come to me. It was a pure and silent chant. And I wept silent tears. It was my most genuine experience of yearning for the divine. It lasted about two hours. Connecting with the memory of it melts my heart.
Over the years, being with you in Royal Way, I have had a few sporadic, visceral experiences of God's love. The first time it was in a weekly meditation where I felt your love for me, and then felt that God loves me. I first felt your love, then the divine. These have been short bursts and, at times, even during hardship, I have felt God's wisdom and love.
This time I wanted to be the host. I was the supplicant, and wanted God to come to me because I loved him so. It all sounds simplistic but I know that you understand me. The last two days at the retreat house, I just felt loved by you and God. I felt showered by kindness and love.
Michael, the experience opened my heart and eyes to another facet of my relationship with you. And that is the knowledge that, without you, I would never be able to experience the divine. It would have been too abstract and out of reach. I now see how holy you have been in your ways—in your being, and in your treatment of me and others. And by your holy ways, you have been leading me to God the entire time. You have been the path, the light, and the example.
Michael, something is growing inside me now. I am now aware of my yearning and my seeking. And I will host you and the divine in my heart.
Years ago, in one of my early Pilgrimages, you gave us an exercise. It was based on a question you posed: "What was there before God?"
I now feel that I have an answer to your question of 10 years ago. Before there ever was God, there was a yearning for God. And if you were to ask me what it was that yearned for God, my answer would be: nothingness.
Welcome to my heart, Michael. Welcome.
True gratitude is...
Staying the course, even when it is or appears difficult
Cherishing the preciousness of what has been bestowed upon me
Having the courage to look at all of me
Growing and climbing from one peak to the next
Staying open to my Royal Way Teacher, Michael
Receiving his direction, guidance, energy, love, and light
Living my life as best and as fully as I can
Sharing myself in the world with love, wisdom, and strength
I always thought I knew what it meant to be a man. My idea of masculinity was a combination of physical attributes, personality characteristics, and interests. To me, a man was one with a physically strong exterior, matched by a hardened interior. A successful man was someone who had attained a lot of material wealth and career status. It was a person with a broad knowledge of sports, as both a spectator and a participant. A jock was the ultimate man.
Was I ever wrong.
As a child, I did not embody most of these characteristics, and so my conclusion was that I was on the lower end of the masculinity scale. I wasn’t interested in sports and I was rarely the one engaging in conversation about sports trivia or the latest scores. I was more interested in the arts; I enjoyed painting and theater, and I had a strong imagination. As I grew older, I felt a lacking within me. I didn’t understand where it came from.
When I came to Royal Way, I soon began to realize that my whole concept of masculinity was wrong. I remember reading my first letter on male-female energy and thinking: This is the missing link. Michael was teaching me a new way to think about my masculinity, a way that need not be pursued. It simply was my natural state, and I could discover it while reaching for my divinity.
About a year after my first Royal Way retreat at RW Ranch, I told Michael that I had been estranged from my father for more than 25 years. I was extremely resistant to discussing this subject, and Michael knew this. At the close of our session, he gently suggested that maybe one day I would forgive my father and reconnect with him at a later date. I couldn’t imagine that would ever happen.
A full year and a half later, Michael worked with me again regarding my father. Four months after that, I finally got the courage to call my dad. Remarkably, 25 years had passed and I was now talking with my father as an adult.
Michael had told me that this single event would change my life in ways I could not even imagine. So much beauty has come into my life from this experience. With this gift from Michael, my father and I were able to start over. I began to feel like a different person, charged with a power that I had never felt before. What an incredible feeling, to be able to change things in my life from within. For the first time ever, I had a sense that I could create my own life, and make it whatever I wanted it to be. A door has opened to a brand new me, a me that I am just getting to know.
Since reconnecting with my father, I am living my life differently. I am tasting the richness of my true maleness. I’m feeling so fulfilled in providing for and protecting my wife and children, expressing myself, and bringing my presence to every part of my life.
Michael Gottlieb teaches what it really is to be a man: to work on my growth, to be my own person, and to find truth on a quest to discover my true maleness.
I am so grateful to have these beautiful teachings and to have so many opportunities to bring them into my life. My life is blessed on this path with my exquisite Teacher Michael, and I know this is just the beginning.
Digging and moving dirt
I expand with every shovel of earth
Prepare the ground to grow my roots
Set the foundation for my fruits
Filling, tilling, nurturing all around
Rooted, I grow on the sacred ground
Of RW Ranch.
Dear Dr. Gottlieb,
This is a glass bead necklace that I made by hand for your birthday. I made it for you because you make my mom and dad better people. One day I hope I will meet you in person. I like knowing that you wear the other necklaces that I made you. It makes me feel happy.

According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime. That number increases for Black men by over 75%. Men who have a relative with prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease, and those with two or more affected relatives are almost four times as likely to be diagnosed. The risk is higher if the affected family members were diagnosed before age 65.
Because of these statistics, it’s important to understand the risk factors and the symptoms of prostate cancer. During September, the goal of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is to increase awareness about the disease and to encourage men to be tested for it.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many early warning signs for prostate cancer. A growing tumor doesn’t push against anything to cause pain, so the disease may progress silently. Several possible symptoms to watch for include difficulty beginning to urinate, a weak or interrupted flow of urine, frequent urination (especially at night), and difficulty emptying the bladder. Pain or burning during urination and blood in the urine are additional warning signs.
Diet and lifestyle modifications have been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer development and progression, and can help men with prostate cancer live longer and better lives.
Recommendations include eating fewer calories and exercising more to maintain a healthy weight, and reducing the amount of fat consumed from red meat and dairy products. Don’t consume more than 1200 mg of calcium each day, unless recommended by your doctor. Eat more fish and fewer trans fats. Avoid smoking, and drink alcohol in moderation, if at all.
Early detection of prostate cancer is critical. If you have any symptoms that worry you, see a doctor immediately. At Morrison Community Hospital, Dr. Mathew Mathew, a Urologist in practice for over 40 years, can be consulted for early detection. For more information, please contact:

Question is, when would this information be added? If done during
playlist load, it slow things down a lot, and adding it afterwards seems
tricky (and would cause a jumping playlist count).
Another thing that complicates matters is that some codecs need to read
data from the file header, so just buffering a part in the middle
wouldn't work for them.
Btw, this notion of several tracks in one file would be useful for some
other formats too (like Vorbis).

It will make a difference, but how significant is hard to predict. If your arm allows for height adjustment to set the VTA, try lowering the arm to reduce sibilance.
5 responses Add your response
Depends on what angle your stylus is mounted on the cantilever compared to your last cart. The angle can vary even with the same brand/ model. As suggested above try lowering the back of the arm to reduce sibilance. Also you may need to try a different loading of this cartridge than the last one you used. Try lowering (numerically) the loading to see if that helps.
I tried a few VTA settings to no avail. So I decided to recheck my alignment, and take my time. You see, I can can set up a Denon DL301mk2 - Dyna 10x5 and a few others lickity split! But I found out how critical a severe stylus shape can be to align. Close is not good enough! The sibilance is now gone.

Landlord first from Preston to be added to national 'rogue' list
A Preston property landlord has become the first from the city to have is name added to a national rogue database of rogue landlords after being fined £24,750 and told to repay his tenants almost £47,000 in rent.
In December 2018, Preston City Council's Housing Standards team responded to a tenant's complaint about the living conditions at a student house in multiple occupation (HMO) at Pedder Street in Ashton, Preston.
As a result of the inspection, the owner and landlord of the property, Michael Gibbons trading as 'Student Accommodation Preston', was served an Improvement Notice requiring repairs to be completed by no later than February 17, 2019.
The council said that the officers' intervention also revealed that Mr Gibbons was operating this property without holding the necessary HMO licence.
Despite the team's attempts to work with Mr Gibbons in order to bring about improvements at the Pedder Street address, and a number of other student houses within Preston, says the council, he did not engage with the team, and in June 2019 a decision was made to refuse Mr Gibbons' belated HMO licence applications for the properties as he was not deemed to be a fit and proper person.
In September 2019, Mr Gibbons was fined for failing to carry out improvements at the Pedder Street property and for failing to apply for an HMO Licence, each matter being a criminal offence under the 2004 Housing Act. The fine for each offence was £12,375.
Mr Gibbons appealed these actions at the First Tier Tribunal. Due to the pandemic, the hearing of the appeals was delayed until October 2020 when the Tribunal confirmed the fines. As these fines remain unpaid, the council is now in the process of enforcing them through the courts.
At a further appeal by Mr Gibbons on the decision of the council that he was not a fit and proper person to run licensed HMOs, in April 2021 the First Tier Tribunal dismissed his appeal, preventing him from operating any licensed HMO properties in Preston.
Mr Gibbons was warned in November 2020 that his name and details would be added to the nationwide database of rogue landlords. He again appealed the council's decision, leading to a protracted delay but in September this year, the appeal was abandoned and the council has completed its intentions of adding his name to the rogue landlord list, allowing all local authorities in England to become aware of his past conduct.
During the investigation, says the council, a total of 13 former tenants have brought rent repayment applications before the First Tier Tribunal regarding Mr Gibbons, resulting in an order to pay back rent to those tenants, an amount totalling £46,908.
Coun Jennifer Mein, Preston City Council Cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: "Whilst most landlords are responsible and provide good accommodation, our dedicated and conscientious team of officers in Housing Standards work hard to ensure the residents of Preston are protected from poor landlords such as Mr Gibbons, and that justice is served.
"Despite a long delay due to the Covid pandemic, the team have achieved everything they set out to. Thanks to their intervention and dedication, local authorities across the country will now be aware of Mr Gibbons' record in Preston and it is likely this will severely limit his ability to operate any other HMOs. He has finally been held to account for his behaviour.
"Although it is disappointing to find that some landlords act in this way, the residents of Preston can feel safe knowing that there are procedures in place to combat this and that Preston City Council take all tenant complaints seriously and investigate them thoroughly."

|Easy To Dance With|
collage on paper
approx size 15" x 18"
As I work on these pieces I take notes. Mostly the notes are brief and describe something I discovered or something that I am re-learning. There are lots of notes on re-learning! This time I was reminded (again) that very often there is a moment when things "click." I'll be going along, placing shapes and not knowing what is happening. My mind doesn't snag on anything. All of a sudden though, I will add a piece and there is this "a ha!" moment when the whole thing sort of coalesces into something tangible. I can see something that tells me things will work. I can almost see several steps ahead too which is better than stepping off the precipice into a complete void. I wonder why we set ourselves up to work like this?
The title of the piece is of course taken from the song that I was listening to while working. I love Swing music, Big band, and whatever else goes along with that time period. The song, You're Easy to Dance With was playing. I thought about the movie with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby, Holiday Inn. I watch the movie nearly every year at Christmas time, of course. Watching Fred Astaire dance is a marvelous thing. Anyway, that was the inspiration as I was working.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Thanks for reading and commenting.


SHIFTING BASELINE SYNDROME: “With each new generation, the expectation of various ecological conditions shifts. The result is that standards are lowered almost imperceptibly,” stated Dr. Daniel Pauly, professor and project leader, Sea Around Us Project, Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries at the University of British Columbia
“We transform the world, but we don’t remember it. We adjust our baseline to the new level, and we don’t recall what was there. If you generalize this, something like this happens,” explains Daniel Pauly. An understanding of Daniel Pauly’s “Shifting Baseline Syndrome” is a foundation piece for implementing restorative development, reconnecting hydrology and ecology, and bending the curve to restore stream systems. The goal of shifting to an ecologically functioning and resilient baseline will ultimately depend on the nature of change to standards of practice.

For the past few days, I've read with horror as details about the Baby P case have emerged in the press. It was made all the more real when pictures of him taken a few days before his death were published. Don't you just wish that you could have taken him in your arms, and just cuddled and cared for him so that he'd still be alive today? It's heartbreaking to think how much that poor child suffered. I just can't believe someone could treat him so appallingly. It really is beyond comprehension
Whilst I can understand why the press have responded so strongly to this story, it does worry me that they're targeting the individual social workers involved in the case to the point that some of them are feeling suicidal. Surely we shouldn't be conducting such a public witch-hunt. Its the parents that are ultimately at fault. They were obviously very good at covering their tracks, even smearing chocolate over his face.
Yes, lessons needs to be learnt and people should be disciplined if they led to his death, but what we should be focusing on is learning lessons from this. Unfortunately, its too late to help baby P but there are children out there today who are suffering terrible abuse. We can help and protect them, and I wish this outrage could be turned into something worthwhile and positive so that those children are saved. That's the only positive thing that could come out of this terrible tragedy.

The new government’s first order of business this week was to introduce legislation creating Jobs and Skills Australia – a new body to advise government on how to train the workforce and fix skills shortages plaguing the economy.
Jobs and Skills Australia has a broader remit than the National Skills Commission it is replacing, with an added focus on collaborating with state and territory governments, unions, and training providers.
The independent body, whose director will be appointed by Skills and Training Minister Brendan O’Connor, has six functions related to its main task of providing advice to the government about the labour market, skills, and the quality of vocational education and training (VET) programs.
Jobs and Skills Australia will do this by preparing studies about jobs in current and emerging industries, assessing and forecasting the existing and future workforce, and looking closely at how training organisations are funded.
That the new government is leaning hard into VET programs shouldn’t come as a surprise given its election promise to create 450,000 fee-free TAFE places.
In his second reading speech on Wednesday, O'Connor said skills shortages were among “the biggest challenges facing Australian employers” currently.
“Skill shortages have been made worse by the pandemic, especially with the reduced skilled migration and the lack of support for temporary migrant workers during the COVID lockdowns,” he said.
“The number of businesses unable to fill job vacancies is growing and is expected to dampen economic growth.”
Since coming into power in May, Labor has been trying to get on top of the main complaint from business leaders: that there simply aren't enough skilled workers.
O’Connor mentioned shortages in areas like aged care, disability care, and childcare as being specifically problematic for Australians.
But he is also hopeful Jobs and Skills Australia will point toward ways of improving the local talent pipeline for the tech sector.
“To succeed, our emerging industries in advanced manufacturing, technology and clean energy – all critical to tackling climate change – require an increase in the supply of highly specialised skills,” O’Connor said.
“These challenges for emerging industries are being experienced against a backdrop of an already-tight labour market and supply chain and related economic challenges.”
Labor has committed to a soft target of 1.2 million technology workers in Australia by 2030. But data from the Australian Computer Society (ACS) suggests those workers will be needed as early as 2027.
Industry and Science Minister Ed Husic has been calling for expats to come home in order to help meet the tech talent shortfall, telling Information Age last month his department was looking at ways to “smooth the landing” for Australian tech professionals wanting to come home.
“We’re not intending to get every single Australian who’s working overseas to come home, but we want to let them know we’ve got a clear national purpose,” he said.
“We’ve got things we need to get done and they’ve got the skills and experience they’ve developed overseas that we need back here in Australia.”

It’s not just excessive drinking that may lead to health risks. Casual alcohol consumption, even within the recommended limits, can be a cause for concern.
According to the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), an estimated 14.4 million Americans ages 12 and older had an alcohol use disorder (AUD) in the past year.1 However, only an estimated 1.1 million Americans ages 12 and older with a diagnosable AUD in the past year received substance use treatment in the past year.2
Regardless of whether you consider yourself a social drinker or have a diagnosed AUD, there are both short- and long-term physical and psychological consequences to over-drinking, including alcohol use disorder (alcoholism).
Short-Term Effects Of Alcohol on the Body
Although a person may not be abusing alcohol regularly, they can still experience its short-term effects on the mind and body. The liver can metabolize about one standard drink of alcohol per hour.3 However, this can vary depending on a number of factors, including the individual’s age, weight, liver function, and gender.9 Typically, consuming more than one beverage per hour can lead to intoxication, raising an individual’s blood alcohol content (BAC) with each drink.3
The effects of alcohol can range from mild, such as skin flushing, to more severe symptoms such as passing out or vomiting.
Other short-term effects of alcohol can include: 3,4,13
- Lowered inhibitions, leading to poor social judgment.
- Trouble concentrating.
- Loss of coordination.
- Loss of critical judgements.
- Dulled perception, especially vision.
- Mood swings.
- Reduced core body temperature.
- Raised blood pressure.
- Passing out.
Long-Term Effects Of Alcohol on the Body
Drinking too much over time can cause chronic physical and mental health issues. Heavy drinking can cause or contribute to liver damage, cardiovascular disease, andmultiple types of cancer.5,7,13
Long-term effects of excessive drinking may include: 5,11,13,16
- Diminished gray matter and white matter in the brain.
- Memory loss.
- Loss of attention span.
- Trouble learning.
- Alcoholic hepatitis.
- Liver fibrosis.
- Steatosis (i.e., fatty liver disease).
- Throat, mouth, larynx, breast, liver, colorectal, or esophageal cancer.
- High blood pressure.
- Irregular heart beat.
What is Binge Drinking?
Binge drinking is a dangerous practice that can cause physical harm. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) classifies binge drinking as a drinking pattern that leads to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of 0.08 g/dL and above.6 For adult women, that’s typically around 4 drinks (5 for adult men) within a couple of hours of each other.6
Binge drinking can lead to alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning occurs when the body has consumed more alcohol in a short period of time than it can process. The toxic effects of alcohol overwhelm the body and can lead to impairment and some even more serious medical side effects, including death in severe cases.
Signs of alcohol poisoning include:18
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Slowed or irregular breathing.
- Cyanosis, or a blue-tinted skin.
- Pale skin.
- Low body temperature, or hypothermia.
It is extremely important to call 911 if you feel a person is experiencing alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning can cause permanent brain damage and even death. A person’s BAC can keep rising after they stop drinking and even after they pass out.18
Effects of Alcoholism on the Body
Alcoholism and chronic heavy drinking are associated with many serious health problems.5 Below are some of the ways alcohol may affect the body:
- Liver health risks:One of the possible severe medical consequences of chronic alcohol abuse is liver disease. Over time, with consistent alcohol abuse, the liver may become inflamed and/or scarred. Conditions such as fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis may develop. A person may also develop liver cancer. 5,7,8
- Digestive system risks: Alcohol can wear down the lining of the stomach and increase the production of stomach acid, which can contribute to ulcers.24 Alcohol may also alter nutrient breakdown, absorption, transportation, storage, and excretion, leading to nutrient deficiencies and/or trouble fully using nutrients. For example, thiamine deficiency is common and can lead to serious neurological issues. Alcohol can also impair blood sugar control.10
- Pancreatic health risks: Alcohol prompts pancreatic production of harmful substances, which can lead to pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that impairs digestion.5
- Brain health risks: Thiamine, or vitamin B1, deficiency associated with chronic heavy drinking can lead to Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome or ‘Wet Brain’. Symptoms may include confusion, impaired coordination, learning problems, and memory difficulties. Liver disease can also harm the brain, resulting in symptoms such as sleep changes, alterations in mood, personality changes, depression, anxiety, impaired concentration, and incoordination. Too much alcohol may also hinder new brain cell growth.16
- Cardiovascular health risks: Drinking alcohol has complicated impacts on cardiovascular health. In 2016, alcohol-related CV diseases caused an estimated 593,000 deaths globally.12 Consuming too much alcohol is linked to high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, trouble pumping blood through the body,blood clots, stroke, cardiomyopathy (sagging, stretched heart muscle),or heart attack.5,13Excessive alcohol use, both directly and through malnutrition, can also lead to anemia.19
- Reproductive health risks:Consuming too much alcohol can lead to reproductive problems, including erectile dysfunction and irregular menstruation.20 Both men and women may have reduced fertility with long-term, heavy drinking.21 Women who drink while pregnant are at increased risk for miscarriage, stillbirth, or having a child with a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).14
- Musculoskeletal health risks: Alcohol abuse can cause a calcium imbalance in the body, which is an important nutrient to maintain healthy bones. Consuming too much alcohol can also cause a disruption to the production of vitamin D, which is needed for calcium absorption. Lack of calcium increases the risk of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis increases the risk of bone fractures, which can cause serious pain and disability.15
Psychological Effects of Alcohol
When it comes to the brain, alcohol acts as a depressant to the CNS. However, it can have inconsistent effects, exciting users under some conditions and sedating users under other conditions. Excitement, typically at lower doses, may be due to alcohol suppressing the inhibitory parts of the brain. Functions such as breathing, speech, thought, memory, and movement can be impacted by consuming alcohol. Mental effects may include mood changes, decreased inhibitions, relaxation, impaired judgment, slowed reaction times, difficulty remembering, confusion, and loss of consciousness.3 Chronic use of alcohol can lead to changes in the brain, as described in previous sections.
Excessive alcohol use, even if not chronic, can lead to alcohol-induced psychiatric syndromes, such as alcohol-induced depressive disorder, alcohol-induced bipolar disorder, alcohol-induced sleep disorder, alcohol-induced psychotic disorder, and more.17,22 These disorders are temporary and can occur after significant intoxication and/or withdrawal.22
Alcohol use disorder is also linked to several mental illnesses which can develop separately from the disorder and may even predate it, such as major depression, some anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and others.17 These disorders may increase the likelihood of alcohol-related issues, possibly due, in part, to using alcohol as a self-medicating substance.17,23 There also may be common underlying risk factors that increase the likelihood of both substance use disorders and mental illnesses.23

A Montana woman is accused of raping and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl on two separate occasions.
Authorities charged Reene Marie Mills, 38, of Helena, with one felony count of sexual intercourse without consent and one felony account of sexual assault after the 12-year-old disclosed to counselors and a forensic investigator that she had allegedly been attacked, the Helena Independent Record reported.
The 12-year-old girl spoke to investigators beginning in October, alleging that Mills sexually assaulted her two times—once at a store in the Helena area and another time at a private residence, according to documents containing the charges.
Mills made her first appearance in Lewis and Clark Justice court via video on Tuesday, where a judge set her bond at $50,000 and ordered her not to have contact with her victim, KXLH reported.
The Montana woman also faced a sexual assault charge in 2016, although it is unclear whether she was convicted of the charge.
Mills remains in custody as of Wednesday, according to online jail records.


The right bet was the push to 9:30, actually 9:33. I was a bit surprised that the meeting went on for as long as it did, Council moved through sections I thought would take time and got bogged down with other matters. Council reached agreement on a couple of issues and surprisingly left a couple open, most notably the 2014 budget (9.4.1).
Councillors Reports and Questions of Staff
There really wan’t anything worth noting in the questions of Staff or the Councillors reports.
Closed Agenda Items
The security of property of the municipality or local board (Confidentiality of Closed Agenda Items). [The net/net of this was that there will be ‘training’ offered to (required of?) Town appointed members of committees and boards, see 9.3.2. below.]
Personal matters about an identifiable individual, including municipal or local board employees (Employment Agreement – Manager of Operations). [An offer of employment was extended for this position to Greg Darby.]
4.1 – North East Community Care Access Centre, an invitiation for Mayor & Council to attend the March 25, 2014 Heroes in the Home, Caregiver Recognition Award. [Forwarded to Staff for follow up.]
5.1 – Donald Sanderson, CEO, West Parry Sound Health Centre and Lakeland Long Term Care and Jim Hanna, Public Relations/Communications with an update on the state of health care in our community. [Well this was interesting as a look into what the regional carpetbaggers are thinking and possibly plotting with regards to the Parry Sound Hydro merger proceeds. See my recent post, The Alley-Oop, for details.]
5.2 – Chris Litschko, CEO, Lakeland Holding Ltd. Re: Cascade Generation Station Update. [A nice presentation on the upgrade to the generating plant on Cascade Street. We will be getting a new, smaller facility that will be capable of generating more power. Target date for operation is 2016. They are looking for volunteers to participate on a committee to help design the look of the new facility to fit in with the community. A cynic might suggest cheap vinyl siding and as few windows as possible based on the more recent builds in town. A community open house is scheduled for April 5th from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. And the merger seems on track with final provincial approval expected in a few weeks.]
5.3 – Dean Adams, Adams Bros. regarding contracted our services. [This deputation was not made.]
8.1 – World Autism Awareness Day, declaring April 2, 2014 as World Autism Awareness Day. CARRIED.
8.2 – World Lupus Day, declaring May 10, 2014 as World Lupus Day. CARRIED
8.3 – Muskoka/Parry Sound Sexual Assault Services, approving a Tag Day for the Muskoka/Parry Sound Sexual Assault Services on June 7, 2014. CARRIED
Resolutions and Direction To Staff
9.1.1 – 295 MacPherson Squadron – 70th Anniversary. Resolution. The Town declare the 70th Anniversary Annual Inspection an event of municipal significance, and provide free use of the Bobby Orr Community Centre for the purpose of the Ceremony/Inspection. CARRIED.
9.1.2 – Parry Sound Festival of Beer, Noise By-law relief. Resolution. Council provide relief from By-Law 2009-5301, being the by-law to regulate noise in the municipality on Saturday May 17, 2014 from 1pm – 11pm at Waubuno Beach & Park. CARRIED. [Another ‘fest’, another by-law relief approval.]
9.1.3 – Request for Proposal, Highest and Best Use of Property – 71 Parry Sound Road. Resolution. Council authorize staff to proceed with obtaining an appraisal for the property; and advertising a Request for Proposals for the development of the Town owned property at 71 Parry Sound Road. CARRIED. [It looks as though we may get some additional development in Town. The Mayor ticked off the many development projects going on in Town. All-in-all Parry Sound continues to grow in terms of in-fill.]
9.2.1 – Fire Department Aerial Purchase. Resolution. Council waive the Purchasing Policy and award the contract for the supply of a E-One Aerial Device in the amount of $1,022,180.00 +HST, and a further allocation of up to $10,000.00 to be utilized for vehicle improvements/changes during the pre-delivery inspection. CARRIED. [There was limited debate, but it seems enough work has been done over the past three years to make us comfortable with both the need for this new piece of equipment and the specified unit.]
9.3.1 – Annual Report of the Integrity Commissioner. Resolution. The 2013 Annual Report of the Integrity Commissioner, attached as Schedule “A”, be received by Council. CARRIED. [See 9.3.2 below for comments.]
9.3.2 – Boards & Committees. Resolution. That the Integrity Commissioner be requested to present a governance and procedural information and education session for Council, staff, and Town board and committee members. CARRIED. [This item was agreed with some discussion. It my be that there has been some nastiness going on at the board and committee level and Council wants to shut down any public leaks.]
9.4.1 – 2014 Operating and Capital Budgets. Resolution. Council approves in principle a budget with a levy of $8,642,079.00, reflective of a 1.0% increase in the 2013 tax rate, as attached in Appendix A and Appendix B, and that staff be directed to bring a by-law forward for formal adoption of the Budget once all external levies have been submitted. WITHDRAWN. [This item took much more discussion that I had expected. There were two issues discussed. Unhappiness on the part of Council that Staff had not cut expenses to meet a 1% levy increase target, but rather had relied on new MPAC data that indicated assessments had risen sufficiently to obviate the need for further cuts. And a brand new suggestion that the Town not increase the tax rate, or even reduce it, rather than approve the 1% increase. Neither issue was resolved at the meeting and Council agreed to meet March 24th at 6:00 PM to continue the discussion. The discussion of when to have the meeting was actually quite entertaining (you had to be there), with Council members protesting suggested dates and times until a compromise was reached. My two cents on this. Council, don’t get too high on your horses about a budget meeting interfering with other board or committee meetings. I have attended enough of these meetings to know that you are quite comfortable arriving late, leaving early or not showing up. It’s about priorities. The budget is important and you are paid to show up for meetings unlike most board and committee members. Get over it and show up.]
9.5.1 – 2013 Water Treatment Plant Summary Resolution. Council acknowledges receipt of the report entitled: “Town of Parry Sound Tony Agnello Water Treatment Plant, Large Municipal Residential Drinking Water System Summary Report of 2013″, as prepared by Kyle Hall, Manager of Water Systems. CARRIED. [Our water meets and exceeds standards.]
10.1.1 – Property Disposal – Town Owned Waterlot. Bylaw. To authorize the transfer of Town owned lands to Parry Sound PowerGen Corporation. CARRIED. [Part of the merger agreement follow on activities.]
10.1.2 – Artists Round the Sound & the Rutke Group. By-law. The execution of an agreement between Artists Round the Sound (ARTS), the Rutke Group, and the Town for the use of wall space at the Town Office for the purpose of a year-round art gallery. CARRIED.
10.1.3 – Big Sound Marina/Town Dock – Operating Agreement. By-law. To enter into an operating agreement with Massasauga Management Co. Inc. for the operation of Big Sound Marina and the Town Dock conditional on approval from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans/Small Craft Harbours. CARRIED. [I think one councillor expressed it best when he suggested that the Town’s hands were tied, they had to do this deal as there was no practical alternative. A classic example of “If you want a deal real bad, I have real bad deal for you.” Doing a little bit of research I find that the parties behind the Massasauga Management Co. Inc. previously had an agreement with the Town regarding ‘Pier 99’ that ended up in litigation. Here’s a link to the little bit of information concerning the litigation that I was able to find online. I think the Town lost that one. This will be fun to watch.]
10.5.1 – Energy Use Assessment Services. By-law. The execution of an Energy Use Assessment Services Agreement between Parry Sound Power Corporation and the Town. CARRIED.
Yippee! A New Fire Truck. Rides for Council! (Parry Sound in Black & White)
These notes review only those portions of the council meeting that I see as having greater importance or general community interest. See my agenda preview posts for additional comments.
The official minutes from council meetings are available at the Town of Parry Sound website, no later than the Friday following the meeting. The full council proceeding are available on video through Cogeco. Schedule details are available from the town office (705-746-2101).

Your company plans to migrate a multi-petabyte data set to the cloud.
The data set must be available 24hrs a day.
Your business analysts have experience only with using a SQL interface.
How should you store the data to optimize it for ease of analysis?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answerA. B. C. D.
BigQuery is Google's serverless, highly scalable, low cost enterprise data warehouse designed to make all your data analysts productive.
Because there is no infrastructure to manage, you can focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights using familiar SQL and you don't need a database administrator.
BigQuery enables you to analyze all your data by creating a logical data warehouse over managed, columnar storage as well as data from object storage, and spreadsheets.https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/
Given the scenario, where the company needs to migrate a multi-petabyte dataset to the cloud, which should be available 24x7 and the business analysts have experience only with a SQL interface, we need to choose the best option to store data that optimizes ease of analysis.
Option A: Load data into Google BigQuery Google BigQuery is a fully-managed, serverless data warehouse that provides a scalable, high-performance, and cost-effective solution to store and analyze large datasets. BigQuery supports standard SQL queries, which makes it an ideal choice for business analysts with SQL experience. With BigQuery, you can load data from various sources, including CSV, JSON, Avro, and Parquet files, into tables, which can be queried using standard SQL. BigQuery is designed to handle large datasets, and the storage and processing are decoupled, making it easy to scale storage and compute independently. Moreover, BigQuery is highly available and durable, with built-in redundancy and disaster recovery options.
Option B: Insert data into Google Cloud SQL Google Cloud SQL is a fully-managed relational database service that provides a MySQL or PostgreSQL database in the cloud. It is a good choice if your data is already in a structured format and you want to use SQL to interact with it. However, since the data is stored in a relational database, it may not be the most efficient solution for large datasets. Cloud SQL can scale up to a certain extent, but it may not be able to handle multi-petabyte datasets efficiently. Additionally, Cloud SQL may not be the most cost-effective solution for storing large datasets.
Option C: Put flat files into Google Cloud Storage Google Cloud Storage is a fully-managed object storage service that provides a scalable and cost-effective way to store and access large datasets. You can store flat files, such as CSV or JSON, in Cloud Storage, which can then be analyzed using SQL or other tools. However, Cloud Storage is not a relational database and does not provide built-in query capabilities like BigQuery or Cloud SQL. As a result, it may not be the most efficient solution for business analysts with SQL experience.
Option D: Stream data into Google Cloud Datastore Google Cloud Datastore is a NoSQL document database service that provides a highly scalable, fully-managed database for storing non-relational data. It is a good choice if your data is unstructured, such as JSON or XML, and you need to access it quickly. However, it may not be the most efficient solution for business analysts who are used to working with SQL.
Therefore, among the options given, Option A - Load data into Google BigQuery, would be the best option for storing the data to optimize it for ease of analysis, given the scenario.

Pillar candles that glow in a variety of jewel-tones from the chunks of different colored wax that make them up are a very seventies look. And they are surprisingly easy to make, as well as tailor to a more updated and sophisticated look.
You will need quantities of wax for your pillar candles, wax dye and a few pillar candle molds. An array of different sizes and shapes of pillar candles in a 'candlescape' makes a lovely centerpiece or home altar adornment.
Making pillar candles is a several step process that you may need to spread over several days. You must first make the color chunks, and only when they have hardened can you make the pillar candles themselves.
Melt a quantity of paraffin wax in a double boiler, not directly on the burner. Don't use your good pans for making pillar candles--purchase some pans specifically for wax melting at a thrift shop. Once you have used a pan for melting wax, it is almost impossible to get all the wax out of it again. Using wax dyes, color the wax whatever colors you wish. You will be repeating this process several times with different colors, so make sure you have an assortment of items to harden the wax in.
You can make the color chunks for your pillar candles in old ice cube trays, or simply pour the dyed wax out onto an old cookie sheet, or into a plastic container. Whether you want regular or irregular chunks for your pillar candles is up to you. Allow the dyed wax to harden. Thick brick-like color chunks can be made in ice cube trays. Thin irregular chunks of color can be made by breaking up a sheet of wax hardened in an old cookie tray.
Now you're ready to plan your color-chunk pillar candles. Do you want a brick-like array of chunks, or a random hodge-podge? Much will depend on the width of your pillar mold. Prep your mold according to the manufacturer's directions; different mold types have different ways of dealing with the wicking. You may wish to spray the mold with a kitchen spray so that the candle will slide out easily when cooled.
Create an interior assortment of colors that pleases you. Fill the pillar candle mold up with chunks. Have a few color chunks that come up over the brim of the mold, if it suits your fancy. Now pour white wax into the mold to fill in all the gaps left between the chunks.
For a less random look to your pillar candles, make cutout shapes of colored wax with heated metal cookie cutters. Brush a little melted wax on the shapes and stick them to the inside walls of a square pillar mold. Then fill the mold with white wax as above.
For the quintessential seventies look, don't use candle molds at all for your pillar candles--use old (cleaned and dried) wax milk cartons with the tops cut out. Now you're really groovy.
Candles always make great gifts, but if you make them yourself you can really get creative. If you burn candles often, you will always have a reason to experiment and make some more!
I love to try new colors and scents and will often combine certain scents for a unique smell. White pillar candles are probably the easiest way to get started. Once you have the process down, then it is easy to experiment with other colors.
Making any kind of candle can be a fun activity, but the color-chunk pillar candles are a great project for kids. They will love all the different colors and patterns you can make.
You can find some candle making supplies at your local craft stores, but if you want a wide selection, I would go online. There are many good sites to choose from where you can get everything you need in one order, and have many choices to choose from.
You can also find detailed instructions which will help you get started. When you order your supplies, you will also want to get some type of pillar candle holders to put your wonderful creations on!
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!


Baird draws opponents for 2010
A Republican city councilman from Washougal with a history of opposing gay rights has stepped into the ring to challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. Brian Baird.Jon Russell is a former Executive Director of the right-wing evangelical Faith & Freedom Network, and in addition to serving as a Washougal city councilmember, is the owner of the Columbia Gorge Medical Center.
Russell joins David Castillo, as the GOP challengers in the 3rd district, which runs from Olympia to Vancouver. Castillo is a financial adviser in Olympia, formerly served as state House Republican Caucus staff director, worked for the federal Department of Homeland Security and once was deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Russell is so virulently anti-gay, that while making his point about his opposition to marriage equality, he ends up insulting heterosexual couples who have issues with fertility.
"Things that cannot reproduce or things that cannot provide that generational heritage are not a progressive value. Those are backwards values."Way to go Jon. Marginalizing good people who, through no fault of their own, are unable to have children, is certainly a winning strategy. I wonder if Mr. Russell feels the same way about people who choose not to have children.
It gets better. On his Facebook political page, Russell looks to expand his base:
This race is about you, regardless of where you live in America.By all means, go ahead and ask for votes in Oregon, Jon. And while you're at it, you might find a few votes in Idaho.
As for David Castillo, in addition to his other service listed above, he is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. Much like Russell, according to his website, he is running on the standard GOP fare of lower taxes and smaller government. It's actually part of a three sentence statement on his website, which is very heavy on the biography and completely lacking in positions on issues or any information that might give you an idea of what kind of Congressman he'd be. Castillo does have a blog, but it only has three entries and isn't updated every day.
It's going to take a lot more than these two pretenders for the Third Congressional District to have a new representative.

複合金属酸化物薄膜の飲料水識別装置への応用 [in Japanese] Application of Composite Metal Oxide Thin Films to Drinking Water Recognition System [in Japanese]
Access this Article
Search this Article
At present the artificial lipid films, ZnO, SiO2 and etc. have been utilized for the electrical measurements on taste or odor of various foods. The electrical property of a MnxZn1-xFe2O4 composite metal oxide thin film (CMF) changes depending on a sort of a molecule and an ion absorbed physically on its surface, so it could be applied to the taste sensor. We investigated application to the drink recognition sensor of the CMF and constructed Drinking water Recognition System (DRS). The films with 1.5 μm-thickness is prepared on Al2O3 substrate by the sputtering method and the subsequent annealing process. The multi channel recognition system combined with the plural sensors having different electrical properties by the preparation conditions can be clearly distinguished the kinds of drinking waters from output patterns. In this paper, the construction of the DRS and the recognition results for various drinking waters by DRS are discussed.

After receiving 1,000+ amazing entries and over 20,000 votes last year, the competition that gives budding young artists a chance to let their creativity shine is now open for 2019. This summer, the BIC® KIDS Young Artist Award is giving proud parents across the UK and Republic of Ireland the opportunity to see their child’s drawings graduate from the fridge door to billboards!
Open to all 5 to 11-year-olds, entrants are encouraged to exercise their artistic flair, let their imaginations run wild and draw with complete freedom. Entrants should draw a landscape piece on plain A4 paper, use pencils, pens and/or crayons and not draw any famous characters or logos to be eligible to win. Judges will award points for everything from creativity and use of colour, to composition and subject matter. Once kids have created their showstoppers, parents can enter by simply visiting www.bickids.co.uk/youngartist and uploading the artwork before the deadline on Sunday, August 4.
The BIC® KIDS Young Artist Award celebrates the creativity of children from across the country, with an expert judging panel selecting 13 finalists to represent their region, with their work being displayed on their very own, local billboards from late August. A public vote will then decide the ultimate winner, whose drawing will go nationwide in late September and win a creative art party for up to 10 people. Entries are open from Monday, July 1 to Sunday, August 4.
Henri Nicolau, at BIC UK and Ireland, said: “The BIC® KIDS Young Artist Award has been growing year-on-year and we can’t wait to see more incredible entries this year. We saw some outstanding quality last year, which proved an exciting challenge when it came to the judging stage.”
“It’s always so heartwarming to be reminded of just how creative kids are and it’s a real pleasure to be able to reward this talent, giving these artworks the recognition, they deserve and enabling children to further their creativity. We’d encourage all parents to enter their children’s drawings – the more imaginative the better!”.
As well as the priceless opportunity to have their drawings published, the 13 finalists will win a bundle of BIC®KIDS goodies. Specifically designed to help children hone their artistic talent, these goodies will include an array of exciting stationery products including the BIC® KIDS Evolution Ecolutions® Colouring Pencils and BIC® KIDS Kid Couleur Felt Tip Colouring Pens.
Last year, a member of the Mrs Mactivity community was one of the winners – and had her design blown up on a billboard – so exciting!
To celebrate the launch of this amazing competition, we will be giving away an amazing Bic stationery set over on our Facebook page! Find out more here.

Some of the quirkiest moments from the Travel Guides' trip to Brisbane
After cruising along the Murray River in the South Australian Outback, the Travel Guides headed off for a change of scenery.
They jetted to Brisbane for a week, checking out all the quirky activities on offer in the city.
From an unusual dining experience to getting an adrenaline rush at a stunt park, Brisbane really goes have it all!
Here are the best moments from their trip:
An unusual culinary experience
Inspired by his vision impaired sister, restaurateur Rick Brown started Dining in the Dark to give people the experience of eating blind.
"Dark can't even explain how dark it was, it was beyond pitch black," Kev said.
Stack and Mel admitted they aren't very trusting people and were worried they might end up "punching someone" who touch them as they made their way to the table.
The sisters were on edge the whole time, even grasping onto a knife at one point.
Meanwhile, it was a very different story over at the Frens' table. Of course they couldn't see a thing, but they sure did make up for it with their voices.
And by the end of it they were quite fond the idea of being hidden in the dark.
They really got into the meal, resorting to using other abilities, like touch, to see what they were eating.
Catherine ended up using her hands to eat her meal while Mark licked his plate clean — without anyone knowing.
The Guides get an adrenaline rush
For a kick of adrenaline, the Guides headed to Stunt Park.
It's not every day you would be willing try and get hit by a car, but if you are ever in Brisbane and want to test it out, you can.
And for those who really want to know what it's like, you're in luck because Kev tested it out for you.
Trying out a "barrel roll", Kev threw himself at the car, coming in at a speed of 15 kilometres, before he rolled across the bonnet.
"Gotta say, I flew about 40 metres," he said.
There's also the chance to get set of fire... literally. Stack was brave enough to give it a go.
After being suited up, she was drenched in fuel before being set alight.
"This is awesome," Stack yelled while fully engulfed in flames.
After being safely put out, Stack wanted to try it out again.
"I loved it, I loved every minute of it. It's one of the best things I've ever done," she said.
A unique playground for grown-ups
Our Guides also headed to Major Dirt Box, which isn't your everyday heavy machinery training facility. It's the only place in Australia where anywhere can rock up and play with the machinery.
Kev, Dorian and Teng were confident they'd be naturals at operating a bobcat.
Teng got a surprised when he hopped behind the wheel and realised it wasn't as easy as video games, like he thought.
"You sucked at it," Kev told Teng.
And he was a little disappointed when his instructor told him he was "the worst operators" she had ever seen.
Kevin was "impressed" with the way Janetta drove the haul truck around the track.
"You were doing figure eights, you were doing circles, you were almost doing wheelies! I was totally impressed," he said proudly.
You can watch all the best moments from the Guides' trip to Brisbane in the videos above.
Travel Guides continues on Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm. You can stream complete seasons of Travel Guides for free on 9Now.

If you’re dreaming of getting away somewhere warm (baby, it’s cold outside), or just want to bring some beach-inspired decor into your home, check out these 10 beautiful spaces.
Do you love the beach cottage look? This darling bedroom, with aqua walls and bright green accents, is like a summer breeze. Photo: Jane Coslick
Try PPG’s Misty Aqua for a similar look!
Yellow is a natural for beach decor. In this dining room, designer Brian Patrick Flynn painted a vintage bamboo dining set the same color as the sunny walls. Crisp white sets off this happy hue to perfection. Photo: HGTV
Designer Celerie Kimball, known for her inspired use of color, featured lime green in this coastal kitchen. Accents of peach pop against the pastel hue. Photo: Coastal Living
Bringing in the beach doesn’t mean devoting the whole room to the theme. Instead, find one area, like this bookcase, to add a coastal tone. Photo: Country Living
This turquoise-and-green color scheme takes its cue from the glass lamp (the Elisabeth Glass Lamp by Stray Dog Designs). Design tip: When going for a whole-room or whole-house color scheme, start with an inspiration piece, like the lamp, and base color cues from there. Photo: Elle Decor
This summery room combines formal and casual elements for a beautiful, feminine look. The aqua, green and yellow color scheme give it the feel of a day at the beach. A sisal rug and bamboo Chinoiserie chair add to the look. Photo: Harper’s Bazaar
The colors of cloud, sand, and sky come together gracefully in this quiet reading nook. If you love the beach look but prefer a less exuberant color scheme, take a tip from this room and choose pastels in blue, sand and cream Photo: Downeast
Shades from watery denim to brightest cobalt are shown to their best advantage against the crisp white walls of this casual living room. Photo: Architectural Digest
In this bedroom, the pastel aqua wall brings together the blue/green tones in the furnishings. A black-and-white rug grounds the colors and patterns for a perfect balance of style. Photo: House Beautiful
Try Cascade on your walls to achieve this look!
In this beach-cottage dining room, red, white and blue create a nautical effect. Softened edges, like the gauzy curtains and lucite chairs, make it flow. Photo: Beach Bliss Living
Want even more aqua beach colors? We have over 2,000 colors available to choose from in our Color Gallery. When you’ve found your perfect hue, get a free, instant quote for our interior painting services by clicking the link!

Aging out of the system two years later, she was thrust into the dismal world of homelessness. I loved being back in Romance. The characters are wonderful and it is such a new concept to be able to see them together but not at the same time. I got hooked on Laken Cane's Rune series after the first book. 5 Books Of You Know What. Hill’s story is quite original and, for horror fans of a certain ironic bent, it’s an unqualified delight. It is Torie's most patient husband, Rudy, along with the town chocalatier, the quite taken-with-herself Eleanor and other equally colorful characters that force the reader to grin at least and laugh out loud more likely.

Melania Rips 'Very Angry and Obviously Biased' Witness After Barron Attack
First lady Melania Trump lashed out at a Democratic witness testifying as part of the House impeachment inquiry for using Barron Trump as a laugh line during a Wednesday hearing.
Stanford Law School Professor Pamela Karlan had been called by the Democrat-dominated House Judiciary Committee to testify about the constitutional limits of presidential power, according to Fox News.
“Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article Two [of the Constitution] does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” Karlan said.
She then decided the 13-year-old son of President Donald Trump and the first lady was a good punch line.
“The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron,” Karlan said.
The remark brought a titter of laughter that briefly swept the room.
The first lady was not amused.
“A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it,” Melania Trump tweeted.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham also slammed Karlan.
“Classless move by a Democratic ‘witness’. Prof Karlan uses a teenage boy who has nothing to do with this joke of a hearing (and deserves privacy) as a punchline. And what’s worse, it’s met by laughter in the hearing room. What is being done to this country is no laughing matter,” she tweeted.

Others also said Karlan crossed a line.
@FLOTUS pamela karlan is so consumed w her hateful leftist ideology, that she not only hurt an innocent child in her effort to destroy a president, she exposed her evil, angry heart. #fakeimpeachment

Hunter Biden is off-limits but Barron Trump is not? https://t.co/k4I8iK7y39
— Kellyanne Conway (@KellyannePolls) December 4, 2019
Later during the hearing, Karlan apologized for mentioning Barron Trump while affirming her hostility to the president.
“I want to apologize for what I said earlier about the president’s son. It was wrong of me to do that,” Karlan said. “I wish the president would apologize for the things that he’s done that’s wrong, but I do regret having said that.”
Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, meanwhile, suggested Karlan’s “little joke” didn’t help her case.
.@RepMattGaetz to Prof. Karlan:
“You don’t get to interrupt me on this time! … When you invoke the president son’s name here, when you try to make a little joke out of referencing Barron Trump, that does not lend credibility to your argument. It makes you look mean.” pic.twitter.com/DIgpG5rgSh
— Jason Howerton (@jason_howerton) December 4, 2019
“That does not lend credibility to your argument. It makes you look mean,” Gaetz said of her original remark.

All our fiberglass race fairing kits and race bodywork sets come with all the main panels required to get your bike back on the track. Each set includes a minimum of:
For many our race fairing kits and race bodywork we have product pictures showing what’s included with each race kit and some race fairing kits come with undertrays and other parts as pictured.
All our fiberglass race fairing kits are produced from weaved fiberglass and come finished in a smooth gel coat finish and required very little work to get them ready for primer and undercoat. They are lightweight and flexible making them perfect for motorcycle trackday and raceday events.
All our race fairing bellypans are fully enclosed enabling them to catch all oil and coolant leaks to help you pass scrutineering on your race day.
We also sell a race upgrade kit for our race fairings that includes a clear screen and screen fasteners, D-Link quick release fasteners, extra Kevlar reinforcing on all edges and mounting points and a foam seat pad for kits with a race tail.
Fitting a full race fairing kit is a little different to fitting a standard ABS road fairing kit and requires you to have a level of technical ability and the ability to use several tools and think outside of the box.
All our fiberglass race fairing kits come with the holes undrilled but marked so you need to have somebody help you hold parts in the correct positions while you mark and drill in the correct mounting places.
To fully mount a set of fiberglass race bodywork panels you will require several new fasteners as many of the OEM factory fasteners will not be of much use to you. Ideally you need a handful of quick release D link race fasteners, Various bolts and washers as required and a race screen (clear is best) and screen fasteners. The idea is to measure twice and drill once.
If your bikes been damaged, fitting a race fairing kit may be extremely difficult or impossible due to bent mounting points, damaged subframes and stays. As an example, if a front fairing stay is bent to once side even by a few mm, midway down at the new join the mounting point and holes may well be out by 10-20mm making sure everything is in line is critical to success.
Our fiberglass race fairing kits and race bodywork are designed for standard headers and exhausts and for production racing and trackday use. We have tested and fitted all our kits to sportsbikes and superbikes with standard setups however if you have race headers or an exhaust system that’s sits lower than standard we cannot guarantee the fitment of one of our race belly pans.
We ship all our race fairing kits and race body work panels direct from our factory to your door as this helps avoid unnecessary cost in shipping parts more than once and save you dollars on our end race fairing products. We hold most kits in stock and normally ship parts within 24hours of getting an order.
On the odd occasion, we may be in the middle of a production run or might not have a race kit or parts in stock due to customer requirements and this can add extra time to the order process but we will always notify you if this is the case.
Typically, we can pack and ship a race fairing kit within 5 -15 working days from our factory to your door. If you have a tight deadline due to an upcoming race day its best to email us using our contact form so we can confirm stock levels and delivery times for you.


RH Temperature Transmitter
This product has been discontinued.
TEGAM’s solution for monitoring relative humidity and temperature, the RHT series provides a linearized output current from 4 mA to 20 mA(model RHT-20C) or a linearized output voltage from 0 V to 1 V DC (model RHT-10V) representing temperature and humidity. Humidity readings are temperature compensated and the RHT transmitters only require an unregulated DC supply voltage of 6 V to 30 V DC. Model RHT-10V produces a linear voltage from 0 V to 1 V representative of temperature and humidity. Because voltage is used instead of a current loop, less power is consumed which makes this model ideal for battery powered applications.
- Humidity Range : 3% to 95% RH
- Humidity Accuracy : ± 2%
- Temperature Range : -20 °C to 75 °C
- Temperature Accuracy : ± 0.6°C
- Input : 6 V to 30 V DC supply
- Temperature and RH output : 0 V to 1 V
