TOUCHED BY LYME: How to add a Lyme awareness frame on Facebook
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. During this time, many of you use Facebook to help educate your family, friends and community about tick-borne diseases.
We’ve come up with a little something to help you turn every post of yours into a Lyme awareness message. It’s a digital frame for your Facebook profile picture, like the one that accompanies my photo with this post.
It’s simple to do. First, you must be logged into Facebook. Then, click here.
This will take you to a page called “Change your profile picture.”
Then, choose the frame that says “Lyme Disease Awareness Month, by LymeDisease.org”
Keep an eye out for special Lyme awareness messages to share on Facebook. We’ll be posting them every day in May.

Thinkproperty.com launches the first overseas desirability report Wednesday 27 June 2007 PDF Print A small villa by the beach in Spain is the most desired overseas property, according to a new Overseas Desirability Report from thinkproperty.com, a major new, independent property portal with over 400,000 UK and overseas properties. Over forty percent of UK home owners are interested in buying overseas property in the future, with one quarter interested in buying their property in Spain or the Balearics, according to the new Overseas Desirability Report, which was conducted amongst more than 2,700 home owners nationwide. thinkproperty.com currently stocks over 400,000 UK and overseas properties, with over 1,500 properties in Spain and over 200,000 in France, and holds 5 times more overseas properties than Rightmove. The Report highlights all of the elements which home buyers are looking for when it comes to finding their ideal overseas property, and the lengths that buyers will go to in order to secure their ideal home abroad. Location is the most important factor, with respondents looking for an idyllic location. The results show forty five per cent of respondents would like their ideal home to be situated by the beach/sea followed by a town location (15 percent) and a village location (13 percent), in the hills (10 percent) and in a ‘tourist’ area (9 percent). Thirty five percent want to live in a small villa, followed by twenty per cent who would like to live in an apartment, and 17 per cent who wish to live in a large villa. Just eight per cent would be happy to live in a townhouse. Mark Goddard, Managing Director of thinkproperty.com comments: “Our new Overseas Desirability Report gives a good indication of what home owners want from a property abroad, giving estate agents a clearer picture of what consumers are looking for. We have found the demand for overseas property growing steadily over the past six months, and predict that it will continue to rise. “thinkproperty.com now has the largest choice of overseas property compared to any other online property portal, including Rightmove – we listen to what home movers are looking for from a property portal and provide it accordingly. Our Overseas Desirability Report highlights the increasing demand for overseas property, and we are proud to offer home movers the widest choice available via a property portal.” The top five features that are most important to home owners when thinking about their ideal overseas properties gives a clear indication to estate agents about which areas of a house would make-or-break the sale of a property. The most important feature is the overall location (100 percent), followed by being situated close to local amenities (eighty eight percent), having central heating/air conditioning (sixty five percent), a good sense of local community (fifty seven percent) and located in a quiet area (fifty percent). Thirty five per cent would buy a property overseas as a holiday home, with one quarter wanting to live abroad permanently, twenty two per cent wanting to buy overseas property to rent back out and fifteen per cent wanting to buy an overseas property for when they retire abroad. About thinkproperty.com thinkproperty.com features comprehensive property details including multiple photographs, detailed descriptions, floor plans, location maps, and virtual tours. thinkproperty.com is the only major UK property portal which is fully embracing Web 2.0 functionality. The new improvements include search results displayed on a map direct from the homepage and the ability for visitors to save their searches and be instantly updated with new properties via email and RSS.

This watch case is absolutely awesome! Beautiful and very well made; outstanding craftsmanship and quality materials! I’m already shopping for something else. Thank you so much for this quality product! I highly recommend Deferichs to anyone seeking high quality watch boxes.
The personalized Watch box for 16 watches features a removable tray that holds eight watches; the remaining watches are kept in a profound drawer (3" depth), so your timepieces are not scratched or hit when opening and closing the drawer.
- All Bottom Lined with Black Velvet Fabric
- Black Velvet Pillows are included but you can upgrade to leather pillows in product options.
- Removable Tray: Fits 8 watches and in this model there is no space below the tray.
- Drawer: Fits 8 Watches and dividers are fixed.
- Monogram Finish: Your choice of Antique gold, antique silver or antique copper. (antique silver is shown)
- Material: Reclaimed Pine Wood
- Dimensions: 12" x 9.5" x 7"
We use reclaimed pine wood that is more than 100 years old and has lived a laborious life as a country cottage, barn, mill, or furniture. Every piece of wood is unique and carries a beautifully distressed texture. To accentuate the individuality and character of the wood, we use a deep, sophisticated walnut stain or ash black stain.
Each monogram plate is made per order using our secret metal alloy.
We can engrave initials, small phrases, custom logos, etc.
See our monogram catalog here.
If you have your own monogram, please contact us. In most cases we can make a custom monogram design.
Box Joint Construction
Woodworking technique that is known for it's resistance and for giving such a distinctive look to any piece of furniture, that is why we decided to use this technique in all our boxes, even though it's a complicated and time-consuming process; for us it's the only way to go when making a high-quality product.
Most boxes today are put together by simply gluing two wood panels together (butt joint) making it very cheap and fragile, those boxes won't stand the test of time and usually are made with inferior materials. We guarantee all our boxes and offer a hassle-free return policy.
Glass Top or Wood Top
Most of our boxes are available whether with a glass top or wood top.
Perfect Fit for Small to Big Watches
Each watch spot measures 60mm x 95mm; rest assured your big watches will fit perfectly; each watch spot has it's own velvet pillow exclusive designed to keep your watches in place, and in case you don't like velvet pillows, we offer an upgrade to full grain leather pillows. Most common brands of big sized watches fit in our boxes; some examples are Nivada, Bulova, Mido, Fossil, Rolex, Omega. Feel free to contact us with your watch model, and we'll do the work to see if it fits.
Very beautiful craftsmanship and the reclaimed wood looks amazing.
Was very surprised on the quality and the look of this watch box. Would buy again.
The box was absolutely beautiful and well made. My fiance loved it for his collection. Well packaged and kept very safe during transit. Thank you
Gave my husband this spectacular watch box and he absolutely fell in love with it! He was so surprised and was speechless when he saw it. The engraving was spot on. I was so glad I purchased this for him.
Beautiful watch box I’m very happy with it.
Very pleased with my 16 compartment watch box! Customer service was terrific too. Thank you Ruben and company!
I ordered this watch box for my husband for Christmas and its absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful craftsmanship and a solid piece I hope my husband will enjoy for many years to come.
I bought 2 of these boxes and couldn't be more pleased with the build quality of them. Highly recommended.


Marlins outfielder JJ Bleday was named one of the top minor league baseball prospects for the upcoming season by Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com.
Miami Marlins fans should be excited when they read about all these prospects being recognized by MLB.com and MLB Pipeline as being some of the best in all of minor league baseball. In one of the more recent stories write on prospects across baseball’s landscape JJ Bleday has been ranked as one of the top 10 OF prospects for 2020 by Jonathan Mayo.
More from Marlins News
- Miami Marlins news: Another target gone
- Why didn’t the Miami Marlins sign JDM?
- Miami Marlins rejected Boston‘s trade offer
- Miami Marlins are pursuing Michael Conforto
- Miami Marlins need to spend to win
"“If you’re looking for potential Rookie of the Year candidates, the top 10 outfield list might be the place to start,” Mayo writes.“Two years ago, the list included the Braves’ Ronald Acuña Jr., who won National League Rookie of the Year honors, Nationals phenom Juan Soto, who was runner-up to Acuña, and the Angels’ Shohei Ohtani, the AL Rookie of the Year.”"
Bleday, who was the fourth pick in the 2019 MLB Draft may still be two seasons away before he sets foot on the surface at Marlins Park, but he is proving to be a player who could someday become the face of this organization. And the college player from Vanderbilt has shown no signs of slowing down since leading the Commodores to an NCAA title last summer.
The No. 2 prospect in the organization is ranked as the eighth-best outfield prospect in baseball by Mayo with an arrival time in the Majors of 2021. By then, the Marlins will hopefully have improved enough to move up the ladder in the National League East and the front office will sort out a crowded outfield that was once an area of concern in the organization.
The front office made it a point to concentrate on adding pitchers to the staff once the new ownership group led by Derek Jeter bought the team. Last season, it was a role reversal as the need for hitters at each level of the minors became evident. The first thought was to focus on younger arms that take time to develop.
Now, the Marlins focus has been on older hitters with more experience so they move through the feeder system faster. But the front office is in no rush to get Bleday to the Majors and will monitor his progress this season, starting a High-A Jupiter and possibly a move to Jacksonville, the team’s Double-A affiliate at some point this summer.

Panera Bread announced 2 new menu items: a grilled mac and cheese sandwich and a sausage and pepperoni flatbread pizza
The suburban sandwich landscape has generally been a place where simple, standard creations thrive. Think rye pastrami, a turkey club, and a BLT. You know, the classics. But Panera, the pinnacle of suburban restaurant chains, takes our palates to a new realm. The company announced two new menu items, a grilled mac and cheese sandwich and a sausage and pepperoni flatbread pizza.
The Grilled Mac & Cheese Sandwich, another improvement on what a grilled cheese can be, is made with Panera’s classic Mac & Cheese, which is made with a blend of fontine and mozzarella. The mac and cheese is topped with Parmesan crisps and wrapped between two toasted pieces of classic white loaf bread in thick slices. I don’t think there could be a bigger sandwich on a cold day.
Fancy something with a little more meat, but still a lot of cheese? The new Panera Sausage Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza is topped with tomato and pepper sauce, grated mozzarella and fontina cheeses, crumbled chicken sausages and pepperoni.
The two new menu items are now available at Panera nationwide. If you want to add something sweet to your meal, Panera Bread has brought back its pumpkin cookies for fall.

The Black Gate (The Messenger #11) by J.N. Chaney , Terry Maggert
English | 2020 | Sci – Fi | ePUB |3.0 MB
J. N. Chaney has a Master’s of Fine Arts in creative writing and fancies himself quite the Super Mario Bros. fan. When he isn’t writing or gaming, you can ﬁnd him in the Renegade Readers Facebook Group. The Facebook group is full of fans as well as universe authors who love to discuss the books and other related topics.
The Cygnus Realm has found peace. Now, spreading among the new worlds of the Unseen gates, Dash and his people are building new lives, free of war and destruction.
Until one of the former Unseen planets shifts in orbit—a small thing, but worth looking into.
Close to this erratic world, something incredible opens, revealing a connection to stars so distant that they have no name on the Cygnus charts.
The Black Gate pulses in and out of existence, and when a massive pair of alien warheads comes through and destroys an entire orbital facility, Dash is left with no choice but to pick up the mantle of Messenger and fight once more.
He must go through the gate, find out who is responsible, and eliminate the threat at any cost.
But this is beyond anything he and his people have faced before… and it will take everything they have to stand against it.

NEW LEXINGTON — As citizens of Ohio continue to live in the new normal of today, the state is still focussing on coronavirus (COVID-19) cases throughout the state. With more expansions on testing, local residents may want to take advantage of the opportunity.
While some are eager to get back to normal routines and lifestyles, Perry County Health Commissioner Angela DeRolph stated that the pandemic is far from over.
“While it’s impossible to eliminate all risks, by following recommended precautions from the Perry County Health Department, Ohio Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention we can reduce the chances of becoming infected with COVID-19 and allow people to enjoy their activities,” DeRolph told The Perry County Tribune.
During these uncertain times, some locals are anxious to resume old routines. DeRolph explained that people should view COVID-19 in four dimensions; “Distance to other people, environment, activity and time spent together.”
“For example, more distance is better, outdoors is safer than indoors, activities that involve lots of exhaling are more dangerous than quieter ones and longer time spent with others is more dangerous than a shorter time,” the county health commissioner said.
DeRolph added as more locals venture out to local businesses, such as their favorite restaurant, they must continue to make safe decisions.
“Continue to make safe choices, not only to protect yourself, but to protect others in our community,” DeRolph commented.
In Perry County, according to the Perry County Health Department as of the afternoon of June 19, it was reported there are 23 lab confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county. Of those, the virus has affected 13 males and 13 females.
According to the Ohio Department of Health, via coronavirus.ohio.gov, it has reported an additional three cases in the county adding up to 26 cases total for the area.
Also as of last Tuesday, five active cases have been confirmed by the local health department. There has also been a total of seven hospitalizations. Only one death has been reported by the health department.
Neighboring counties have also experienced confirmed case increase. In Muskingum County, the state’s health department has reported a total of 65 confirmed cases in the area. Additionally, there have been 11 hospitalizations and one death reported.
In Licking County, there have been a total of 337 cases confirmed in the area. There have also been 42 hospitalizations and 11 deaths recorded.
According to the Licking County Health Department’s Facebook page, as of June 17, 24 of the patients are listed as probable. Of the data published, three individuals are currently hospitalized and 132 individuals have been classified as recovered from the illness.
The Licking County Health Department also clarified that probable cases means a patient is diagnosed with COVID-19 upon physical examination presenting a set of illness criteria without a test.
In Fairfield County, the state health department reported that there have been 414 cases confirmed in the area. The department also records that 57 individuals require hospitalizations as well as 12 deaths.
In Hocking County, the state’s health department reported 74 confirmed cases in the area. Additionally, there have also been 16 individuals who have been hospitalized as well as seven deaths.
In Athens County, similar numbers to Perry County, it was reported that there were 25 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with only four hospitalizations and one death.
Morgan County has seen a total of six cases. No hospitalizations and deaths have been recorded.
According to the statehouse in Columbus on June 9, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine stated the state has distributed over 30 million pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE). He added that the sources for the equipment involved the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), donations made, JobsOhio purchases.
Also, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Protecting Ohio’s Workforce- We’ve Got you Covered program has given over 1.5 million facial coverings to employers to support efforts already set by businesses.
The state is also giving PPE to the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services via the office of Pharmacy Services in order to support requests from other state agencies boards and commissions.

We have visited several bars and clubs that are known to be t-friendly. Yes, we will be visiting some of these for this year's Pinkfest.
Over the past few years, we've enjoyed a couple of smaller places in the Oak Park/Forest Park area in particular.
Since we're a vacation and not a convention, we won't have any exhibits or vendor hall.
However, as far as "vendors" you can patronize, there will be the entire Chicago business community!

The Air Jordan 1 GS “Tasmanian Devil” is another Space Jam/Warner Bros. inspired release that is set to drop this May 2015.
This “Tasmanian Devil” edition of the Air Jordan 1 is dressed in a Court Purple, Bright Crimson, White and Brown color scheme. Nicknamed, Taz this Looney Tunes character is highly known for his notoriously short temper and little patience which causes him to spinout of control at times.
The shoe features a White base upper with Court Purple overlays, Brown detailing and Bright Crimson accents for a nice added color pop.

Digging Out, Digging In
All of the miners trapped for 70 days in the collapsed San Jose copper mine in Chile have been rescued. It’s a remarkable story. After the collapse of the mine in early August, they were assumed to be dead, since rescuers could not reach them at all. For two weeks, rescuers tried to get in there to get the bodies out. After drilling in some deep bore holes, the rescuers learned that the miners were still alive. After many logistical problems were overcome, by people working together, the 33 miners were all rescued. This wasn’t a scripted reality show, designed to tug at our heartstrings. This was the real deal – ordinary working stiffs who were part of an extraordinary series of events. We saw humans at their best, which made for quite a contrast to the current acrimonious election season in NH.
The ads are everywhere. Thanks to the Citizens United decision made by the far right activist judges of the Supreme Court, there’s no limit to the money that can be funneled into shadow groups that don’t have to identify themselves or their donors. The abhorrent US Chamber of Commerce being a perfect example. They’ve promised to spend $75 million on ads attacking Democrats. Their money comes from corporate donors spread all over the world. As many feared, the Supreme Court paved the way for foreign business interests to influence US politics. The ads are all similar, all dishonest, all spewing one sided political vituperation. What we don’t see is them taking on any of the corrupt or crazy Republicans running for office, and this year we certainly have a bumper crop.
Thanks to Christine O’Donnell, anti-masturbation crusader and candidate for US Senate in Delaware, I’ve decided that every political ad should begin with the candidate gazing into the camera saying, “I am not a witch.” Teabaglican Carl Paladino, candidate for governor of NY has been a fiesta of crazy. First we learn that his family values are so deep and vast that he had to spread them out, simultaneously, over two families! Later, speaking from atop his lofty family values soapbox, he spoke about the evils of homosexuality. Then we learned that his nephew owned a series of gay bars that Paladino had invested in. Oops.
Speaking of oops, a number of NH Republican candidates have had recent, unattractive revelations. Poor Frank Guinta is still being dogged by his magic bank account that funneled some $350,000 into his campaign. (Not the paltry $250,000 that I reported in my last column.) Guinta is moaning about that mean ole Carol Shea-Porter picking on him. What he fails to acknowledge, is that it was members of his own party, during the primary that started questioning his financial shenanigans. Former NHGOP party chair Fergus Cullen wrote about it in the Union Leader. Guinta’s former employer, State Senator Jeb Bradley told Politco.Com in August that if Guinta didn’t have an explanation for that money, he should drop out of the race. Guinta still doesn’t have an explanation that rings true, but he’s blaming the Democrats for his failure to come clean.
Charlie Bass and Kelly Ayotte are both on the hot seat as well. Kevin Landrigan of the Nashua Telegraph reports on Bass’s problem. It seems Bass championed parts of the Renewable Energy Security Act (RESA) provisions of the 2005 energy bill. The parts that provided tax credits for companies like his nephew’s. He even set up a meeting between the company president and Bush’s Energy Secretary. According to his financial disclosure forms, Bass bought $500,000 worth of stock in his nephew’s company – before Bass left office. Bass claims that he never set up that meeting between the company president and Secretary Bodman, (even though it was written up in the company newsletter) and that he bought the stock after he left office, and he can prove it. It’s the same old revolving door politics we’re all so sick of. No wonder he wants to get back to Washington.
We also learned, via some recently revealed emails between Ayotte and political operative Rob Varsalone, that her first thought, on hearing of Michael Brigg’s murder was the opportunity to use it for political gain. Ayotte was still Attorney General, after promising Governor Lynch she would serve a full term if he reappointed her, but this terrible crime provided her with an opportunity to grandstand in public, via the death penalty. After the case was concluded, she broke her promise to the governor (and the people of our state) and announced she was running for office. This week, 10 former NH prosecutors (including former AGs and US AGs) criticized her for politicizing the death penalty.
Our local state races my not be quite as colorful, but thanks to the best efforts of romance novelist/ Carroll County GOP Chair Maynard Thomson, there’s plenty of vituperation. On October 1st, the long string of ads in the Conway Sun began. This full-page ad was expensive, full of typical Thomson florid prose, plenty of Sloganese, and unintentionally humorous. Toward the end of the pretentious blather was a bolded banner announcing, “OUR PROPOSAL.” My dictionary defines a proposal as a suggestion, or a plan put out for consideration. The GOP proposal was not a plan or a suggestion. It was five points of criticism of Carroll County’s four Democratic State Reps. The criticism was not limited to state business. The romance novelist tried to link our state reps to Pelosi, Reid, and “Mr. Obama.” Thomson lacks sufficient politeness to give the President of the United States the courtesy of his title.
That’s it in a nutshell, really. The local GOP doesn’t respect the people of Carroll County enough to be honest. They don’t have a plan, so they’re just offering a lot of wordy criticism. No new ideas, just the same old thing they’ve always offered. “NO TAXES. CUT SPENDING.” A return to the past. Remember the Developmental Disabilities Wait List? That was the waiting list that numbered in the hundreds, of folks with developmental disabilities waiting for services in NH during the years of GOP control in Concord. Few things could be more shameful than that list. NH doesn’t spend money on “radical social programs.” Third world countries provide better social programs than the state of NH does. Their goal is to move NH backward; interfering in marriages, and robbing women of reproductive choice, while re-installing corn bandit Gene Chandler as speaker of the house.
The Chilean miners were lucky. They got out of the hole. NH Republicans just keep digging further hoping to return our state (and our country) to the failed policies of the past.

After winning first place at an Embry-Riddle poster competition last spring, Aerospace Engineering student Dynamite Obinna is taking his Jetway venture to the next level by developing a prototype.
Dynaerobridge significantly reduces the time it takes for passengers to board and deplane their flights by utilizing multiple doors that are available on most commercial aircraft. By reducing boarding times, Obinna envisions a more enjoyable flight experiences for passengers that will also save airlines money. Reduced boarding times means fewer missed connections and less time for passengers to wait in airports, Obinna said.
Last spring Dynaerobridge won first place at the Embry-Riddle Discovery Day, hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and the People’s Choice Award at the “Launch Your Venture” Entrepreneurship Expo. Obinna said he got the idea to create a venture after taking a short flight a few years ago and realizing it took longer to exit the aircraft than the entire duration of the flight.
Obinna is raising funds to build a prototype of a jetway through a crowdsourcing campaign on Indiegogo that ends on Oct. 17. He estimates that the prototype will cost about $50,000 to build. After using the prototype to test the design, he plans to approach airports for licensing agreements.
“The prototype will be a functional and exact projection of what the completed Dynaerobridge would look like,” Obinna said. “It will be able to demonstrate the major features of the jetway including the hydraulics systems, aircraft docking, detaching methods and weight support columns.”
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world’s largest, fully accredited university specializing in aviation and aerospace, is a nonprofit, independent institution offering more than 80 baccalaureate, master’s and Ph.D. degree programs in its colleges of Arts & Sciences, Aviation, Business, Engineering and Security & Intelligence.

Off-Season Perspective Part I: Cost Certainty at What Cost?: The Phillies Perspective
The reason for these moves is pictured above.
For those Phillies fans out there, as you know, three members of the 2009 pennant-winning team signed three-year extensions this past month.
Joe Blanton: 3 year- $21 million
Shane Victorino: 3 year- $22.5 million
Carlos Ruiz: 3 year- $9 million
This is in addition to the extension that Roy Halladay signed this offseason (3 year, $60 million).
At what cost does this cost certainty come?
The Phillies have locked the majority of their core (Halladay, Hamels, Utley, Howard, Rollins, Victorino, Lidge (2008 version only), Ibanez, Polanco) in place through at least the 2011 season. This season is an interesting turning point because Utley, Howard, and Rollins, probably three of the most important Phillies in terms of team contribution, will all begin to be on "the wrong side" of 30. At this point, a statistical decline from their peak is expected. This does not mean that they won't be good players in the upcoming years, necessarily. It's just that the level of production compared to their salary will not always be on the same level (see Todd Helton, Carlos Delgado, Vladimir Guerrero contracts for reference).
But that's looking too far ahead. Let's focus on 2010. They have a team built to compete for this year. The only unsettled pieces are left-handed reliever from the bullpen (Sergio Escalona and Antonio Bastardo are the top contenders) and 5th starter (the immortal Jaime Moyer and Kyle Kendrick are the top contenders). All other position player starters are essentially in their mid to late prime years (29-31 years old). The starting pitching staff is anchored by an ace (Halladay), a probable ace who needs luck and a 3rd pitch (Hamels), and a workhorse (Blanton).
The payroll is set at around $140 million for 2010. The farm system has immediate impact prospects expected to make an impact this year. The MLB ETAs for Dominic Brown, Phillippe Aumont, JC Ramirez, Tyson Gillies, Trevor May, and Anthony Gose are all 2011 and later. Therefore, they have less flexibility than last year for making a mid-year acquisition. The bright side of all this is that if everyone stays healthy, this will not have to happen.
The other bright side is that, outside of Lidge, all of the bullpen's salaries are small and fungible. The pickups this offseason, Danys Baez and Jose Contreras, are veterans who will join the bullpen and be at least as productive as Brandon Lyon or Kevin Gregg for a fraction of the cost. Why chase someone with an ex-closer label when all you need is to get people out? Contreras could be this year's Chan Ho Park, a starter turned reliever whose performance is significantly better from the bullpen.
Therefore, the Phillies for 2010 are depending on continued production from their core players plus improvement from the back end of the bullpen to springboard themselves to a hopeful 4th straight playoff appearance. They haven't hamstrung themselves completely, but if one of the principal players on the roster gets injured (Halladay, Howard, Utley), they will most likely have to rely on internal help to replace their output. That is unless they can persuade one of the unsigned veterans on the market (see Pedro Martinez or Jermaine Dye for example) to sign for a reduced price guaranteed MLB contract.
2010 can be bright, barring any significant declines or injuries. I think all the moves this winter, except for the still baffling Cliff Lee trade, were a net positive in terms of projected performance.
And that is my Phillies off-season perspective.

Tamia Miller is a senior studying English. During her time at UIUC, she’s worked in roles including undergraduate researcher, teaching assistant, communications specialist, and Writers Workshop consultant. After graduating in May, she’ll be working at Hallmark Cards as a full-time writer.
During my freshman year at UIUC, I had no idea what I was passionate about. I knew I liked to read books, and I always loved writing in my personal journals. However, I didn’t consider those things “passions” yet. They were fun hobbies, but I wasn’t sure I could make a career out of them. So, I set out to find my passions (which didn’t go exactly as planned).
First, I started taking a variety of Gen Ed classes to explore the different majors and minors UIUC offered. My schedule was filled with random interesting classes, from an astronomy course called “Stars and Galaxies” to a class about health disparities within the Black community. After finishing the courses, I was always convinced that each one could be a new passion. Maybe I wanted to go build rockets, or become a licensed social worker. Maybe I wanted to become a speech language pathologist, or a dietitian. As interesting as these classes were, none of them felt like the right fit for me long term. However, one writing class actually did lead me to my perfect fit: RHET 233.
RHET 233—Advanced Rhetoric & Composition—was the first writing class I took on campus. Each week we discussed different topics related to food writing, including restaurant reviews and cookbooks. There was never a dull period, with class activities ranging from watching and analyzing a Food Network show to creating our own class blog. This class made me realize all the reasons why I loved writing so much: experimenting with new words, finding different ways to express myself, doing research on interesting topics, collaborating with other writers, and so much more. I was excited to go to class and couldn’t wait to start new writing projects. Finally, I was sure about my passion (even though it took me a while to realize it)!
After taking RHET 233, I knew I wanted to continue improving my writing skills. I signed up for every English and creative writing course I could, and felt confident about being an English major. Additionally, I started looking into internships and research positions for English majors on campus. With the help of ATLAS, an organization on campus that helps LAS students gain technical skills, I landed a position as a communications specialist. In this role, I wrote social media copy for the Humanities Professional Resource Center on campus. I also started my current role as a Writers Workshop consultant, where I get to meet different writers and help students improve various writing pieces. Finally, I completed a summer internship this year as a writing/editorial intern for Hallmark Cards, where I’ll be heading to work full-time after graduation!
Ultimately, UIUC has given me the resources, support, and mentors to find and cultivate my passions as a writer. With organizations like ATLAS and the Humanities Professional Resource Center, as well as amazing classes and internships, I’ve been able to try out different roles and focus on the experiences that truly fulfill me.

Part 2 The Charter for Permanent Peace – Official Provisions Drafted as [Special Clauses] for the current Constitution of [Taiwan]
Chapter 1 Standards for People's Rights and Obligations
Article 1 Freedom under Global Unity
Who has kidnapped our freedom and dignity? Who is suppressing our national sovereignty? Who is spending a lot of money on manipulating elections? Who is hollowing out the national treasury and colluding with foreign powers? Who is blocking our international relations and possibilities for development? Who is the enemy of our permanent peace and development? The answer is not “other people”. Rather, it is our "own" government, an institution funded by our taxpayers’ hard-earned money. This is not a specter from the past, it is still happening now.
The Charter for Permanent Peace / Universal Constitution for Human Beings / Strategic Constitution and Tactics Article 1 Freedom under Unity- Standards of Freedom – this is mainly intended to address the general principles behind the Charter for Permanent Peace, namely, development and innovations of freedom, laying out basic constitutional principles to serve as guidelines, guarantee clauses, binding clauses and delegation clauses, elements that make up the core structure of the universal constitution, and places the ideals of a common destiny for all humankind firmly on the ground in [Taiwan]. These then will take root and grow into a model for a peaceful planet and system. According to the Freedom House Annual Report, the people in more than half of the countries around the world are not free. For this reason, the oppressed people of [Taiwan] and elsewhere, including the people of the 50 countries whose people are still constrained and shackled, have only their chains and iron curtains to lose. In return, they stand to gain the unfulfilled goal of the United Nations — Greater Freedom for Human Beings. The guidelines, methods and standards are summarized as follows:...more
Article 2 Global Democracy under Unity
Who is behind the internal and external blockades imposed on our nation and not leaving us a way forward? Who is usurping our human dignity and the sovereignty of our people? Who is colluding with totalitarian powers to tighten our chains and put us behind the iron gates of an authoritarian regime? Who will not let us take part in global governance? Who does not allow us to show that that we fully capable of functioning in global circles and selecting the good and capable for the public? Who is the enemy of permanent peace and development? The answer is not ‘someone else’. Rather, it is the “party”: the ruling party that is supported by the hard-earned wages of our taxpayers.
The Charter for Permanent Peace / Universal Constitution for Human Beings / Strategic Constitution and Tactics Article 2 Global Democracy under Unity- this is mainly intended to address that the era when the process of human civilization will spread throughout the global village has come. Therefore, global government of the world and the family of human beings is a workable goal realization and must be achieved. This political entity shall both interpret and enforce international law.
In fact, global government has simply added one administrative level above existing states. Most people would consider such international agencies as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the International Criminal Police Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the World Health Organization, the Universal Postal Union, the International Olympic Committee, the International Hydrographic Organization and the World Conservation Union, as well as various supra-national groups including the European Union, the African Union, the Organization of American States, the Union of South American Nations, and ASEAN, as prototypes for a global government.
Any solution for current international political dilemmas and peace and development should be based on changes in domestic political systems to create a set of system of peaceful development under which the human race can function and prosper eternally under one world, making the whole world a global village linked by law and rationality. This section presents ten general and constitutional principles that will have a far-reaching impact on the structure of the system. It proposes a method for combining ancient and modern rules for permanent peace and development for all nations and a model for the great ideal of a common destiny for all humankind.
The 21st century will be a watershed that determines whether the future will bring democracy or autocracy, peace or the destruction of human beings, [Taiwan] is a lighthouse for human democracy and the democratic salvation of the 1.4 billion Chinese people. The barriers with China represented by language and culture are minimal. Therefore, [Taiwan] is the entity best suited to spur the CCP to accept democracy and urge China to lead the world to Global Unity. This guideline for permanent peace as the universal constitution follows various political threads through history and seeks to put an end to conflicts caused by various nationalist experienced by humankind.
One lesson learned from history is that when individuals, families and states are well run the whole kingdom will be tranquil and happy. If we pay attention to hardware only and ignore software, there will be blind spots and vacuums. The democratic countries should support [Taiwan’s] model of the Charter for Permanent Peace and compare the advantages and disadvantages of various constitutions to eliminate blind spots and fill in the vacuums. This will further attract the Chinese people to bravely strive for democratization and force Russia to adopt democracy as well, eventually leading to liberation of the people still suffering under 50 authoritarian regimes. This will quell civil unrest and end the threat of destructive and unpredictable nuclear war. To this end, the people of [Taiwan] and 2/3 of the world’s population living under the threat of authoritarianism, have nothing to lose but the chains and iron curtains as well as the violence and lies, that condemn them to second-class citizenship. They will suffer no loss, instead gradually transforming country-by-country to complete the unfinished great cause of the United Nations - the Great Democracy among human beings....more
Article 3 Human Rights under Unity
We begin by asking: Who is depriving us of our human dignity? Who is kidnapping our national sovereignty? Who is suppressing our way out in the world? Who is the enemy of our human rights and peaceful development? The answer is not someone else. It is rather our “own selves” in the form of the party government supported by the hard-earned dollars of taxpayers. Secondly, it must be noted that peace is not judged by whether or not we are in a state of war; it must be understood from the perspective of human rights. Finally, we must declare that peace will only be achieved under the premise of ensured human rights, and there are universal constitutional standards to guarantee human rights standards.
The Charter for Permanent Peace / Universal Constitution for Human Beings / Strategic Constitution and Tactics Article 3 Human Rights under Unity- this is mainly intended to develop a standard set of universal human rights, including the inclusion of all human rights guarantees found around the world (see §3.2) in order to compile a “living law” (living constitution). This eschews the traditional approach of listing human rights to avoid redundancies, make up for lost time, and avert the need for constant constitutional amendments. Producing an outdated or rigid constitution will merely serve to undermine the seriousness of the Constitution.
The layout of this Constitution considers the endless development and changing times surrounding the drafting of a constitution. It divides universal core values and the national core organization into eight articles. Each item, paragraph and section can be extended indefinitely according to the needs of the times. This will not affect the rigor and elegance of the overall arrangement and can be clearly quoted, just like the Constitution of the United States, which has not changed for more than two hundred years. There are only 27 amendments so far, none of which has affected the protection of rights afforded the American people. .
The core aim of the Constitution is to protect the rights of the people and limit the powers of the government. The most important thing is the executive agency governing human rights under unity: the "Supra-National Human Rights Action and Citizenship Exercise Committee". Half of its members are of different nationalities and they are nominated by authoritative human rights institutions. It is indented to demonstrate the basic standards of permanent peace and human rights to the world, and to let the ideals of a common human destiny take root in [Taiwan]. To this end, [Taiwan] and the two-thirds of the world’s people living under the threat of authoritarianism have nothing to lose but their chains and iron curtains, and the violence and lies that confines them. They will suffer no loss, instead gaining the advantages of permanent peace in the holy land of human rights and the capital of the world....more
 According to classical liberalism, which of the following is/are the enemies of human rights? (A) military; (B) enterprise; (C) religion; (D) government. Answer: D (Political Science - 2011 Civil Service Special Examination for the Disabled (fourth grade).
Article 4 Rule of Law under Unity
"What is a law?" "Laws exist to ensure justice." If laws and justice only passively protect those who understand the law, why not let the law take the initiative to protect everyone? Since the law represents justice, why not let people use all laws in the world to compare levels of justice? Since the law is the lowest level of morality and the nation represents overall morality, why not let people compare laws to compare the morality of various nations? Since the law is a means of maintaining civilization and advancing civilization, why not let the law restrict the risk of destroying civilization posed by nuclear weapons? Who outlawed the direct protection of the people provided by international law? Who buried our values and wisdom in the rule of law? Who has suffocated us for seventy or eighty years with a vile constitution? Who denies us relief from long-term humiliation? The answer is not someone else. It is rather our “own selves” in the form of the party government supported by the hard-earned dollars of taxpayers.
The Charter for Permanent Peace / Universal Constitution for Human Beings / Strategic Constitution and Tactics Article 4 Rule of Law under Unity - this is mainly intended to address the importance of law and justice, to master the concepts of global justice and morality, and to promote civilization and peace. The State should adopt the principles of the Permanent Peace Partnership. For example, all human laws and regulations are included in the comparative database. Simply by keying in question keywords, relevant regulations from around the world appear at once, forming the prototype of One World under One Set of Laws and putting forth the necessary conditions for lasting peace.
This charter is based on the supra-national, national, sub-national and micro-national hierarchy as defined by the UN Global Governance Committee, and is presented as a new guide for the world in terms of natural law, peremptory norms, international law, and the laws of all nations. It is a response to a demand from humankind that has existed for more than two millennia: "The law must conform to all standards of nature, justice and morality as well as freedom, democracy, and human rights." This means crafting a set of permanent standards for a human-sustainable peace system. This "request" itself proves that this is a global-scale action that is worthy of our sacrifice: "A charter for permanent peace and all the truths in heaven and on earth," rather than simply a definition of peace system for the coming millennia.
In terms of policy, we must get past old ways of thinking by traditional leaders who worked to consolidate power to control the people, and strive instead to accept international law or the laws of other countries. It is up to the executive to make this choice by opting for a system with a feature for “+ addition laws”. The era of the global village calls for integration of laws from all legal systems world-wide, giving the people the right to choose, with the nation retaining the right of refusal. This will lead to continuous integration and introspection among human beings and the development of a system with the “- subtraction law” function. The ultimate result will be a set of universal laws incorporating the world’s best legal standards and devices.
As for behavior, we must emphasize rule of law instead of rule of man. Do not believe in the great jurists who compose to the "dictator's voice", the big entrepreneurs who acclaim for the "profit concession of the authoritarians", or the politician, medias and scholars who cheer for "the smile of the totalitarian" - they are the beneficiaries of the accomplice structure. Do not sell your soul and allow others to control your own body. Trust your eyes and hands, because none of the individuals, groups, or countries that you hear or see rank as high as the millennia of wisdom you hold in your hands. Put your trust in the wisdom.
The people of [Taiwan] and the 2/3 of the world’s population living under the threat of authoritarianism, have nothing to lose but the chains and iron curtains, as well as the violence and lies that condemn them to second-class citizenship. They will suffer no other loss, instead winning good fortune and prosperity in one fell swoop. Everyone will achieve self-actualization, living and working as a family and creating a long-term and long-lasting world for all humankind. All people will live under global law, with his/her personal dreams, national dreams and global dreams that will lead from one century to the next, reaching the eternal bliss of a nuclear-free civilization. The result will be lasting peace, ensuring that everyone lives in a world of truth....more

An updated review of placebo-controlled trials on Vitamin C and the common cold finds the vitamin may help people under heavy physical stress, such as marathon runners and skiers, to reduce their risk of catching a cold.
As for the rest of the population, the review finds no evidence that regular supplementation of vitamin C reduces the chance of coming down with a common cold, although it may reduce the duration and severity of illness.
The review appears in the 31 January issue of The Cochrane Library.
In high-income countries, the common cold is a major reason for visiting the doctor, and taking time off work and school.
The symptoms vary from cold to cold and also from person to person. Because it is caused by a virus, the common cold can’t be treated with antibiotics, so there is a lot of public health interest in finding treatments that can help.
Vitamin C is widely sold and used as a preventive and therapeutic agent.
It has been proposed as a treatment for respiratory illnesses ever since it was first isolated in the 1930s.
It rose to popularity as a remedy in the 1970s when Nobel laureate Linus Pauling said placebo-controlled trials showed vitamin C was effective at preventing and alleviating the common cold.
For this latest review, the authors restricted their analysis to randomized placebo-controlled trials that tested the effectiveness of at least 0.2 g per day or more of vitamin C.
Based on 29 trials involving 11,306 participants that compared vitamin C with placebo, the Cochrane reviewers found regular use of vitamin C had no effect on common cold incidence in the general population.
However, their analysis of 31 studies covering a total of 9,745 common cold episodes, that compared vitamin C with placebo, shows it has a small but consistent effect in reducing the duration of symptoms.
Regular doses of 1 g or more per day have reduced the average duration of colds in adults by 8% and in children by 18%.
The only trials that appeared to show that vitamin C reduced the risk of catching a common cold were those conducted in people who were under short-term physical stress.
An analysis of five randomized trials shows vitamin C halved the incidence of the common cold: three of the trials studied marathon runners, one was of Swiss schoolchildren at a skiing camp, and the other studied Canadian soldiers on a winter exercise.
A more recent randomized trial involving teenage competitive swimmers found regular use of vitamin C halved the duration of common colds in males but had no effect in females.
The authors conclude that:
“The failure of vitamin C supplementation to reduce the incidence of colds in the general population indicates that routine vitamin C supplementation is not justified, yet vitamin C may be useful for people exposed to brief periods of severe physical exercise.”
And, although, trials looking at the effect of regular supplementation of vitamin C shows it reduces the duration of colds, “this was not replicated in the few therapeutic trials that have been carried out,” they add.
But, they note that since the studies show a consistent effect of regular vitamin C use on reducing duration and severity of common colds, and bearing in mind that the supplement is not expensive and relatively safe, “it may be worthwhile for common cold patients to test on an individual basis whether therapeutic vitamin C is beneficial for them”.
The authors call for further therapeutic randomized controlled trials, that is where the vitamin is taken as a treatment as soon as symptoms begin.
A study published earlier this month found that men who consume high levels of vitamin C are at twice the risk of kidney stones than men who do not.

WASHINGTON — A Senate panel has approved a $604 billion defense spending bill that reverses proposed Pentagon cuts in Air Force personnel and equipment.
The Appropriations defense subcommittee approved the bill by voice vote Tuesday. The measure would provide $511 billion for the base budget and $93.3 billion for the war in Afghanistan in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.
The bill is nearly $29 billion less than current spending.
The legislation provides $800 million to halt the Air Force's planned cuts.
In its budget proposal, the Pentagon called for a cut of 5,100 from the Air National Guard, 3,900 from active duty and 900 reservists as well as 134 aircraft. That proposal met stiff resistance from the nation's governors and members of Congress.

A Pennsylvania woman has been sentenced to up to 18 months in prison for obtaining so-called abortion pills online and providing them to her teenage daughter to end her pregnancy.
Jennifer Ann Whalen, 39, of Washingtonville, a single mother who works as a nursing home aide, pleaded guilty in August to obtaining the miscarriage-inducing pills from an online site in Europe for her daughter, 16, who did not want to have the child.
Terrible situation, but reporting is OK so far. There are some details on how difficult and expensive it would be to access abortion at a clinic.
After taking the pills, the daughter had complications, was admitted to hospital, where nosy-parkers called the police. And now here they are.
Did you catch the key point there?
The story continues.
The Pennsylvania case follows the prosecution of a Florida man who pleaded guilty to tricking his girlfriend into taking an abortion pill. He was sentenced in January to 13 years in prison and $28,500 restitution. In June, Florida toughened state law to allow for prosecutions in the death of non-viable fetuses.Totally the same, right? Mother tries to help her daughter end unwanted pregnancy. Man tries to trick girlfriend into abortion/miscarriage.
And this is a Reuters story that has been picked up by every MSM outlet I can find.
But the Fetus Freak media has a bit of additional information: the woman got off easy.
In addition to the prison sentence, Montour County Court of Common Pleas Judge Gary Norton ordered Whalen to pay a $1,000 fine and perform 40 hours of community service upon her release. The maximum penalty for performing an illegal abortion in Pennsylvania is seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
And don't forget: this is the same RWNJ demographic who goes batshit over parental consent regulations. They demand the right to
These people want the right to force their children to bear children but want parents who help their children avoid bearing unwanted children to go to prison.

How do computers often shut down automatically?
The first: High CPU temperature
How do you know if the CPU temperature is too high? We can download a computer housekeeper that detects computer CPU running
After the download, we install it, the installation of the steps here is not detailed, we will certainly
After installing, we open him, in the lower right corner there is a toolbox, we open him, will pop up one such interface:
There is a hardware check in the utility, ↑ Click to open it, there will be a screen like this:
On the right we will see your motherboard of various information and temperature, affecting the normal operation of the computer is the CPU and graphics card, if your computer runs for a period of time, CPU or graphics card temperature of more than 70 degrees, that means your home computer cooling problems
If the cooling problem, the solution is to open your computer, cleaning up the dust, it is best to do a large clean-up. After the cleanup, the CPU and video card temperature will slowly go down.
The above method if still does not solve your problem, that may be the system problem, the solution looks the second kind
Second: System problems
May be a virus, the use of our housekeeper to kill the virus, if no virus found, then reload the system, after reloading, if it is not resolved, it may be your computer hardware problems, find a local repair computer to see it.
The computer often shuts down automatically the solution two
One: The reason why the computer shuts down automatically
1. Hardware problems: For example, the CPU fan used after a long time will be covered with a lot of dust, will lead to slow operation, cooling effect is not ideal! This is the easiest way to cause the computer to crash.
2. Loose memory: The memory card slot loose inside the chassis will also cause the computer to crash.
3. Virus problem: Computer virus, can cause a variety of problems arise. Automatic shutdown is no exception.
4. System damage: If the operating system's core files are damaged, it may also cause the computer often automatically shutdown.
1. First detect whether the CPU temperature is too high cause! Most of it is for this reason! You can use the computer butler inside the hardware detection tool, you can detect the temperature of the CPU, if too high, to more than 80 degrees, this is certainly because the CPU fan effect is not ideal cause! Can you take apart the chassis, clean the dust!! A notebook can also clean up the dust inside the computer.
2. The memory strip loose very good judgment, if freezes, once again turns on the time will not be able to open the machine, may appear the drip sound. This time you can pull out the memory strips, and then use the old newspaper to wipe the golden finger portion of the memory. Then gently install into the memory card slot inside.
3. If not, you can kill the virus. This is not much to say how to operate it. Download a direct anti-virus software, click the overall killing can be. can also enter Safe Mode antivirus.
Third: Other problem-solving methods
1, software settings will be relatively small, such as downloading automatic shutdown. This will fail the second time the computer is turned off.
2, there is also a power supply motherboard damage, this will need to repair the computer where the processing. The power supply is good, dozens of to 100 more can be replaced, the motherboard to damage the more expensive point.

Deborah Jean-Baptiste-Samuel and her Oratory Foundation presents Julius Caesar through Caribbean lens.The Oratory Foundation repeats Julius Caesar, for one night only, as part of its Shakespeare festival, a release from the Foundation said.Julius Caesar will be staged on September 9 at Naparima Bowl, San Fernando.
The premiere opening of Julius Caesar was in fact on the Ides of March (March 15), and was a resounding success, said the release.Naparima Bowl came alive to the rhythm of the soothsayer and of the chants of the crowd; the deceptive persuasive lyrics of Cassius, the charm of Marc Antony's eloquence and the resonance of the stubborn arrogance of Caesar.In Julius Caesar, the tenor and tone of social upheaval from political discontent pulsates with historical relevance in the Caribbean. In this production, there are echoes of Caribbean riots and uprisings.
According to Jean-Baptiste-Samuel, "In Julius Caesar we understand the impact of the soothsayer who translates as village seer or 'warner'; the trickster's plots for power; the potency of night-dreams as signs that herald disaster; disturbing decibels of doom in thunderstorm; rebellion and resistance, verbal rituals, song and chant."
Julius Caesar takes place on September 9 at Naparima Bowl, San Fernando.
Tickets are available at RIK High Street and Gulf City.


The May housing data is in and as expected once again, inventory continues to be on the rise in the Highland Lakes region. Additionally, the Fed just raised the Fed Funds Rate by .75 points as well
May Housing Report - Inventory, prices, and rates are all up
Dated: June 15 2022
The May housing data is in and as expected once again, inventory continues to be on the rise in the Highland Lakes region. Additionally, the Fed just raised the Fed Funds Rate by .75 points as well which is the largest increase in almost 30 years. So, we've got a situation in the real estate market where it seems that demand is slowing because buyers are bowing out of the market, prices are still up from the strong seller's market of the past 18 months, and people are a little less certain about the economy overall.
So, let's take this in pieces. First, overall in Llano County, inventory is at 3.9 months while in Horseshoe Bay specifically, it is even higher at 4.7 months. Horseshoe Bay has consistently had more inventory than the surrounding areas as the luxury market did not move at the same pace as homes under $500k. Burnet County has 3 months of inventory, overall. Places like Marble Falls, Burnet, and Meadowlakes still have inventory under 3 months. This level of inventory indicates that we are still very much in a seller's market, and a pretty strong one at that.
I talked to a lender yesterday after the Fed made its announcement. He told me that following the statement, the mortgage rates dropped over 1 point. He expected to wake up Thursday morning to mortgage rates below 5 again. He did say that he expects that this is temporary and would expect the rates to be back up in the short term. Historically, these are still very good rates. Over the past 30 years, the average mortgage rate has been 8%. The main cause of the increase in mortgage rates has been the increase in inflation. If the Fed can get control of inflation, then we may see some improvement in mortgage rates later in the year or in early 2023.
Lastly, what does this mean for prices? Readers of this blog may remember from an earlier post that during times of recession, the housing market tends to stay stable. It is a more stable investment when investors are less optimistic in the stick market. Additionally, in a place like Horseshoe Bay, the micro market is less elastic because of the number of second and vacation homes. We do expect prices plateau, but we don't expect to see a big price drop. That said, the economy is in an unprecedented situation as we come out of the pandemic and we cannot be too certain of any forecasts at the moment.
Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by. I look forward to working with you. Although I am not a native to the area, I was introduced to Horseshoe Bay in 2000 and have been visiting ever since. I lov....
