Published 1:25 pm, Wednesday, March 30, 2016
The Darien YMCA gymnastics team honored their former teammate by smiling their way through a sweep of the team titles from Levels 3 to 10 at the first annual Emily Fedorko Challenge. Coach Nicole Kapitan began each of the six meet sessions by reading an inspiring tribute to the memory of Emily Fedorko, who lost her life too early in a boating accident. Before the final session, Emily’s mother, Pam Fedorko addressed the gymnasts and families, thanking them for supporting the Emily Fedorko Foundation and encouraging everyone to smile and have fun as Emily would have done.

The youngest Darien gymnasts, competing in the Level 3 age 6-7 group, were Emily McKee, who placed second on floor, fourth on bars and third on all other events and All Around (AA) and Anastasia Buchesky, who was third on bars and fourth on vault, beam and AA.

The Oakland Planning and Development Corp. hosted their monthly Oakland-wide meeting Nov. 30 over Zoom to discuss two major upcoming construction projects. UPMC presented updated plans for its Presbyterian Bed Tower, and Paramount Construction Services presented a preliminary proposal to turn an office building in South Oakland into a 20-unit apartment complex.
The proposed hospital facility will be constructed on the former site of Children’s Hospital in front of UPMC Presbyterian, and its main entry will be on Fifth Avenue and DeSoto Street. UPMC plans to start construction on the facility this summer, and the building will likely open in summer 2026.
The new facility would have 636 beds for intensive care, stepdown and discharge patients. The building would occupy about 900,000 square feet above Fifth Avenue, and it would stand at 288 feet tall with a maximum of 17 stories. A parking garage would include room for 450 cars.
Members from Trans Associates, HGA architects and engineers and IKM Inc. compromise the project team. At the meeting, representatives from UPMC shared their vision in the following categories: project location and site context, exterior design and materials, public amenities, landscape design and site accessibility, construction management, sustainability and stormwater management, transportation and parking and community engagement.
Kyle Weisman, a project manager and associate vice president for HGA, assured that this project would not increase traffic. “Our project is not increasing clinical capacity. We’re really just taking bed capacity and making all the dual occupancy patient rooms into single occupancy patient rooms,” he said.
Bryan Cannon, design principal at HGA, said the building would include a roof terrace that will serve as a public amenity.
“We are creating what we call a lifestyle village — three floors of accessible programming,” Cannon said. “The idea is that the hospital will not be read or experienced as a separate place but as a building that’s strongly connected to and accessible to the community.”
UPMC will present at another Oakland-wide meeting on Jan. 25, 2022, to answer more questions from residents and discuss how the Bed Tower will benefit the community.
After UPMC’s presentation, chief operating officer of Paramount Construction, Tom Chunchick, presented the company’s plan to convert the building at 3339 Ward St. into an apartment complex. He said the project is “extremely preliminary,” but they are looking to close on the property in February. The property is presently under agreement to purchase, and the new owner would be R.E. Development LLC.
Paramount’s construction plan is to add another floor to the building, fill in the attic space and improve the landscaping and exterior. “We will be adding some trees and landscaping as much as we can,” Chunchick said.
Addressing a viewer’s concern about parking, Chunchick said there is parking available at the basement level that will most likely be for tenants who need accessible parking. The main parking lot has about 40 spaces for tenants and is on Juliet Street, which is about 550 feet away from the building.

Catastrophic floods in Pakistan this year have submerged a third of the country, washing away everything that came in its way including houses, schools, hospitals, powerhouses and people.
According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), record monsoon rains and melting glaciers in northern mountains brought floods that have killed at least 1,265 people since June 14, with 57 casualties reported during the last 24 hours.
The total number of people who have suffered injuries stands at 12,577. Several districts of Sindh and Southern Punjab are completely inundated with water everywhere in sight.
With water level in Sindh’s Manchhar Lake rising to ‘dangerous level’ and the forecast of more thundershowers in the upper parts of the country during the next three to four days, residents of at least five union councils near the lake have been asked to immediately move to safer places arranged by the Jamshoro administration.
The increasing levels in Manchhar posed a serious threat to scores of surrounding villages after the deluge completely cut off Bajera and Jhangara villages in Dadu from the rest of the district. Floodwater gushing from the lake was mounting pressure on the embankments of Danister canal and its main regulator, which has been damaged.
Official in charge of the irrigation cell for Manchhar Lake Sher Mohammad Mallah said water level crossed the full capacity level of 122.8 feet RL at RD-62 point. An inflow of over 100,000 cusecs was being recorded while the discharge into the Indus River stood at 7,000 to 8,000 cusecs at Aral canal and its tail-end near Sehwan, according to irrigation engineer Mahesh Kumar.
He said truckloads of stones were being brought to strengthen the weak sections of Manchhar’s bank, while floodwater had started eroding its bank at RD-100, 72, 62, 52 and 10 points on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Met Office has forecast that upper regions of the country may receive thundershowers for the next three to four days, though Sindh, Balochistan and south Punjab are expected to experience hot and humid weather during these days.

When one of your loved ones dies in Seattle, you may wonder if the will always needs to go through probate. It is important to understand the circumstances that make probate beneficial.
Your particular circumstances usually determine whether you should probate a will. According to FindLaw, creditors usually have up to one year to file a claim for unpaid money. If your loved one left large debts behind, probate may sometime be beneficial, as creditors then generally have only four months to contact the estate. If an estate is insolvent, though, it may sometimes be best not to probate a will. This is because an insolvent estate has little money and high bills and you are not legally required to see that these debts are paid off.
Opening probate may not always be necessary if the deceased placed his or her valuable property in a trust or if there was nothing valuable left behind. Additionally, small estates may not need to go through probate. Instead, you may transfer assets to the heirs through an affidavit. The amount of property you can transfer in this way is usually determined by state law.
While you may choose not to probate a will, you usually still need to file it. If someone’s finances will be affected because you do not file the will, you may sometimes be subject to a lawsuit. Failure to file the will may make you criminally liable if you want to keep the existence of the will a secret from the heirs of the estate.

If you haven't heard of Lyme Disease, let me explain. Lyme disease is transmitted by tick bites, most commonly the deer tick, which is very small. They can also transmit other infections like Babesia and Bartonella, to name a few. These are called co-infections.
Acute Lyme means that it is new and you have had it less than 6 weeks. This is something that is more easily solved. Chronic Lyme means that you have had it for over 3 months and you could have it for a lifetime. The actual Lyme bacteria have a way of cycling so that they can hide from the immune system. So you could feel periods where you are fine and then feel horrible again.
Doctors believe that the tick needs to be latched on to your skin for 24 hours to transmit the disease. I personally say let's be even more cautious and take our remedies before anything bad happens. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right? There are some common symptoms you may feel if you have been bitten by a tick and I can't urge you enough to get on Doxycycline right away if this happens to you.
I typically recommend prescribed medications as a last resort but if Lyme disease becomes chronic is can be debilitating and can ruin your life and livelihood. So this is nothing to joke around about. Of course, being a Naturopathic Doctor, I have even more up my sleeve to help you through this infection and support what your MD is doing with you.
Common symptoms of Acute Lyme include:
This is a rash from a Lyme patient. It is not the bullseye rash but the patient was confirmed to have lyme.
bullseye rash "About 20% to 30% of Lyme rashes have a “bull's-eye” appearance -- concentric circles around a center point -- but most are round and uniformly red and at least 5 centimeters (about 2 inches) across."
fatigue, sometimes severe
other body rashes
Shooting pains in limbs
Lyme disease can be debilitating but with some help you can prevent Chronic Lyme Disease and get the help you need. These are some of the remedies that I use with my patients with great success.
Herxhiemer reaction (Herx): This can happen when the therapy you use kills a large amount of germs. Then toxic material from the germs and the body's response make you feel miserable. It can be a severe worsening of current symptoms, or new symptoms. The best way to recover is to increase water intake, move lymph and castor oil packs. You can also take 1 capsule of activated charcoal between meals, for a few days, to help absorb the toxins.
Locally on Bite
Mix a paste of bentonite clay and let it dry on bite. Wash off
Wash bite with tincture of echinacea or neosporin
Apply my "Healing Salve" to it twice per day.
Never throw the tick away. Send it to www.tickcheck.com
Systemic Immune Support: I can support you with dosing if you sign up as a patient.
Probiotic: 1 capsule 2-4 hours away from an antibiotic
Teasel Root tincture
Ledum 200CK: homeopathic remedy for acute bite
Castor Oil Packs daily-see blog post on how to do them.
Dry Skin Brushing daily-see blog post on how to do it.
Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water per day (unless you have kidney disease or heart failure)

Kane Williamson's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side was castigated for their batting disasterclass by legendary opener Virender Sehwag after the 2016 champions recorded a heavy trounce at the hands of Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) in match No.33 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Wednesday. Dominant Delhi Capitals thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets to reclaim the top spot on the IPL 2021 points table.
Even though Hyderabad giants brought in former skipper David Warner back into the playing XI, the Williamson-led side failed to pile up runs against the fast bowling duo of Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada at the Dubai International Stadium. While Warner recorded his first duck in the IPL since 2016, skipper Williamson played a sluggish knock of 18 off 26 balls.
'Maaro mujhe...maaro mujhe, ball would have said to SRH'
Taking a dig at the Sunrisers Hyderbad after a batting no-show by Williamson and Co. against Delhi Capitals, Sehwag hilariously advised the franchise batsmen to avoid eating balls in a T20 contest. "As Harshad Mehta had said be it market or cricket the biggest risk is not taking any risk. But Hyderabad was playing so sluggishly that even the ball would have said this to them in agony - 'Maro mujhe...maaro mujhe.' Is ball something to eat that too in T20? Don't eat the ball. If you are hungry, eat food," Sehwag said on Virugiri Dot Com.
Following a top-order batting collapse, SRH were rescued by Abdul Samad (28) and Rashid Khan (22) before the death overs. Laggards Hyderabad only managed to post 134-9 after batting first against the Delhi Capitals. Delhi Capitals star batsmen Shikhar Dhawan (42) and Shreyas Iyer (47) played crucial knocks to make sure the Ricky Ponting-coached side register a massive 8-wicket win over Hyderabad. With the convincing win, Delhi replaced Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as the table-toppers in the IPL 2021 standings on Thursday.

The number one thing that will affect your breastmilk production is demand. Never forget this. The more your baby nurses, the more your body makes milk. When your baby's going through a growth spurt, it may take a few days for your body to catch up and start making more milk. Just nurse, nurse, nurse. But it certainly won't hurt to make a batch of these yummy cookies too.
Brewers yeast, hops, and oatmeal are just a few ingredients that come to mind as galactagogues, or foods that are supposed to increase your milk supply. This explains the old adage that drinking beer will increase your milk supply. There are also a plethora of herbs that are purported to increase your supply. Of course, you can also just eat oatmeal on a regular basis, or make these cookies often. Each lactation cookie recipe that you find will vary in its ingredients and its healthiness, but they usually have one or more galactagogue in them. These are the magic makers in lactation cookie recipes. The recipe below calls for brewers yeast. This is different than yeast used in baking, and different from the cheesy tasty nutritional yeast. Brewers yeast is a whole different ingredient. You can order it online or buy it in certain grocery stores, like Chico Natural Foods. Some stores like Raley's may carry it as well.
Here is a sample recipe for Lactation Cookies I found on Food.com
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies by Noel Trujillo
Yields 4 1/2 dozen
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flax seed meal
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups oats
1 cup chocolate chips
2 -4 tablespoons brewer's yeast
Preheat oven to 350°.
Mix the flaxseed meal and water and let sit for 3-5 minutes.
Beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar well.
Add eggs and mix well.
Add flaxseed mix and vanilla, beat well.
Sift together flour, brewers yeast, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to butter mix.
Stir in oats and chips.
Scoop onto baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Let set for a couple minutes then remove from tray.
If you are having trouble establishing or maintaining your milk supply, making an appointment with a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is one of the best things you can do. There is no substitution for the information and guidance they will provide. So grab that baby of yours, stick them on your breast, munch some of these cookies, and make an appointment with an IBCLC.

Troopergate: Cathy Collins-Taylor Not Confirmed, Ted Strickland Shamelessly Reappoints Her Elsewhere
From Paul Aker on Channel 10:
Yesterday’s Senate hearing was a disgraceful display of ugly partianship by Senate Democrats. Unable to convince Republicans that Collins-Taylor, who called off a drug sting at the Governor’s mansion and who has been accused of lying under oath by an Inspector General with impeccable integrity, they resorted to name calling, cheap shots, and even crying on the floor of the Senate.
Senator Capri Cafaro ends her floor speech by suggesting that rejecting Collins-Taylor might send a message to young women that they should not become police officers. And Senator Shirley Smith, an eccentric drama queen, was visibly shaken and tearing up, accusing Republicans of simply scoring political points during an election year.
If any Republicans were playing politics, it was Senator Kevin Koughlin, fresh off his his recent efforts to bash John Kasich and glowing from endless newspaper endorsements for his creepy-crawly statist proposal to regulate the health of school lunches, is term limited and desperately seeking an appointment by Gov. Strickland. He may take over the organization that Rocky Saxbe, the lawyer who gave Collins-Taylor an undisclosed discount for his services, started in 2006, “Republicans for Strickland.”
What is most alarming is that Gov. Strickland’s hyper-political administration already had a new job lined up for Collins-Taylor on the Ohio Parole Board. And this is to be expected, as Collins-Taylor’s husband, Mike, runs the Fraternal Order of Police and Strickland would like to maintain that organization’s public support, even though privately there are serious battles happening inside the FOP after their letter to support Collins-Taylor was written without proper board approval.
Gov. Strickland’s administration also gave a minor slap on the wrist to the corrupt top attorney for the Ohio Department of Public Safety Josh Engel, after he conspired to leak a classified Department of Homeland Security document to the Inspector General, in hopes that the IG would release it and thus be prosecuted federally. What was his punishment? Some time off from work and a tiny pay cut.
What is great fun about the internal investigations about the serious, credible allegations against Engel is that the report is sent to Larry McCarthey. Who is Larry? He was convicted on corruption charges while shaking down public contractors for Gov. Dick Celeste. Yeah… That guy is really going to clean house at the ODPS!
So to review, Collins-Taylor gets a new job, Engel gets a minor demotion, but State Highway Patrol officer Major Booker, after 33 years of exceptional service, gets canned from his job 2 weeks before his retirement after accusations were made that he leaked information about the politically motivated calling-off of a drug sting at the Governor’s mansion.
Gov. Strickland learned from the errors of Gov. Taft, and changed procedures so investigations such as these always end up going through the Governor’s office so they can be analyzed and covered up by dirt-bag legal eagles such as Kent Markus. This is Gov. Strickland exposed for raw politics and corruption of the highest order. Strickland’s actions are shameless, and this story is far from over.

Wow, this is a real eye-opener of a video. Click play and watch an Audi A8 driving through the aftermath of giant storm that had just dumped loads of snow in the Greenbelt, Maryland area near Washington D.C.. To either side of the snowplowing German luxury sedan lay impotent cars, to include a Nissan Armada, unable to go anywhere. In addition to the way the Audi with its Quattro system (four-wheel-drive system) conquers this snowy highway, just the sheer number of stranded vehicles is amazing.
That was really over the top. What do you think of this next video?

Our Sherbet Pips charm packs were calling to me. Naturally I answered their call. I saw Cotton Way's pattern, Cuddle Me Cozy, and bob's your uncle a quilt was made.
The pattern calls for cuddle but I substituted white cotton. I wasn't sure I was in a sewing minkie kind of mood. That stuff is tempermental. Minkie backings, no problem. 2.5 inch pieced squares? Maybe not right now.
I picked the running puppies. I love this print. So happy.
I am prety happy with how this quilt worked out. If I ever need to make a baby quilt again I would certainly use this pattern again.

Did you know What Do Goose Eggs Taste Like? If you’re interested in tasting new types of eggs, you might be wondering what goose eggs taste like. This is a common question among people who want to try different types of eggs but are unsure if they will enjoy them.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
Chicken eggs are by far the most common type of egg and may be the only type of egg you’ve ever seen. They are the most popular and have the mildest flavour, which is typically ideal.
There are many additional types of eggs because every bird lays its own eggs. These eggs each have their own unique perks and flavours that you might appreciate if you come across them.
Depending on the type and strength of flavour, you may favour certain eggs over others. Continue reading to find out what goose eggs taste like and whether they are superior to chicken eggs.
Goose eggs have a similar flavour to duck eggs.
If you appreciate eating a variety of eggs, you might be curious about how goose eggs taste. Goose eggs have a flavour that is comparable to duck eggs, but with a considerably stronger eggy flavour than you may imagine.
Duck eggs are frequently reported as tasting identical to chicken eggs, albeit slightly stronger. So, in general, goose eggs taste similar to chicken eggs, but they are considerably stronger and have a fuller flavour profile.
It can be difficult to describe the taste of an egg, but imagine a chicken egg multiplied by ten to get an idea of what a goose egg tastes like. Because they are robust eggs, they will have a stronger flavour than most other sorts of eggs.
Though depending on how you use the goose eggs and which geese they come from, you may not notice this. The flavour of the egg will always be determined by what the goose is eating and what it consumes on a regular basis.
The nutrition of the bird has a significant impact on the flavour of the egg, whether it is a goose, duck, or chicken egg. So keep this in mind if you want to sample a goose egg for the first time.
Goose vs. Chicken Eggs
If you were thinking about sampling goose eggs, you might be comparing goose eggs to chicken eggs. This is a highly popular comparison since most people compare different types of eggs to the type of egg that they are most familiar with.
This is mainly chicken eggs because they are widely available. Grocery stores typically stock only chicken eggs and do not stock any other types of eggs.
So you might be wondering if goose eggs can be compared to chicken eggs or if one is superior to the other.
Goose eggs are a good choice because they are larger and produce more egg when cracked. The shell is also thicker and sturdier, making them excellent for keeping around for a long before usage.
Though goose eggs have a very strong eggy flavour that can interfere with other ingredients in the dish. This also makes them a less desirable alternative for baking because the egg flavour cannot overpower the other ingredients.
Goose eggs have more calories since there is more egg, but they also have more vitamins and minerals. The yolk is also thicker and creamier than chicken egg yolks, making it more rich and delicious in certain meals.
Many people believe that goose eggs are healthier because geese are bred on pasture. While chickens can be fed a wide variety of foods, they are not as healthy as geese.
Eggs from chickens
Chicken eggs are becoming more popular as consumers have greater access to these types of eggs. They also have a lot lighter flavour, which makes them suitable for a wide range of dishes.
Chicken eggs are fewer in calories as well, albeit they are not as nutritious as goose eggs. This can also be affected by where your eggs come from and the nutrition the birds have been fed.
Chicken eggs are also lower in cholesterol than goose eggs, which is critical if you are minimising your cholesterol intake. Because eggs are a high source of cholesterol in most people’s diets.
Chicken eggs are also much easier to find, as every grocery store will have a range of chicken eggs on hand. Recipes also called for chicken eggs, making substitutions with other species of eggs, such as goose eggs, more difficult.
Is it healthier to eat goose eggs?
If you polled people about their feelings about geese eggs, the results would be highly mixed. Though most individuals agree that they prefer chicken eggs over other types of eggs, particularly goose eggs.
This is primarily due to the fact that geese eggs have a considerably stronger flavour. Many individuals dislike the eggy flavour, therefore this can be highly unpleasant for the majority of people.
This is especially true if the eggs are just a component of a recipe, such as muffins, cookies, or a casserole. In some cases, you might not want the eggs to take over and the flavour to be overpowering.
Goose eggs are also more difficult to use because they are larger and contain more egg than a recipe calls for. Because the recipes are written for chicken eggs, not larger eggs like goose eggs.

What is tyre safety month?
Now in its 14th year, October is National Tyre Safety Month, an initiative run by TyreSafe to raise awareness of the importance of tyre safety.
In 2018 targeted enforcement activity by TyreSafe found:
-1/5 (20%) drivers have never checked their tyres.
-More than 50% of vehicles in the UK are at least 4psi below their recommended pressures.
-27.3% of cars on UK roads have at least one illegal tyre, meaning there could be up to 10 million potentially dangerous vehicles being driven.
Remember - your tyres are the only thing that connect you to the road.
So bad tyres can cost you more than money - they could cost you your life.
How you can ensure your tyres are safe…
Check your tyre pressures at least once a month
About one pound per square inch (PSI) is lost from your tyres each month after you fill them, so you should ideally be checking your vehicles tyre pressure every month to ensure that they are always inflated to their correct pressure. Ensuring appropriate air pressure on your vehicle improves your fuel economy and prevents unnecessary carbon emissions. This is because an under-inflated tyre has a larger footprint, causing more friction between the road and rubber, meaning your engine must work harder to turn the wheels. When your engine needs to work harder to keep the tyres moving, it also produces more emissions into the environment.
If you’re unsure what your vehicles tread depth should be, you can find out here
Make sure you always have sufficient tread depth.
Although the legal tread depth is 1.6mm in the UK, tyres perform better with a tread depth of 3mm or more, so you should consider changing your tyres before they reach this level. The braking distance on wet roads when travelling at 50mph is 25.9m with a new tyre at 8mm tread depth, but that distance is increased to 37.8m with worn tyres at only 1.6mm of tread.
The 20p test reveals whether your tread is below the 1.6mm legal minimum. After placing a 20 pence coin into the main tread grooves of your tyres, the outer rim of the coin should be completely covered by the tread, indicating your tread depth is above the limit. If it isn’t, then you should book your car into a garage for new tyres as soon as possible.
How TCH Leasing helps ensure your tyres are safe…
TCH Assist provides every driver of a TCH Leasing vehicle with direct access to our team of experts who will efficiently and effectively deal with any query you may have. This includes any repair issues you may have or tyre replacements, find out more about TCH Assist here.
In addition to this, we have a long-standing agreement with KwikFit for all our fleet customers to have a tyre inspection and replacement service at any KwikFit location nationwide.

So what meaning is insulin resistance? Do you know? Insulin and resistance, everybody can read these two words. But put in together, become a little difficult. What calls insulin resistance? Counteractive insulin? Still say resistance is term of a technicality? Let small make up will tell you.
? The diabetic opens insulin medicaments, other patient can open other auxiliary remedy, but advocate medicaments is it. But have a few patients, his body is opposite inherently insulin is not sensitive. Insulin inject enters the body, can not adjust his blood sugar, his blood sugar won’t have any change. At that time, everybody says this individual insulin is counteractive. Everybody does not have resistance to insulin, insulin is straightway.
But have a few people, want inherently to make insulin depressed namely, insulin is in they there be rebuffed. The person with insulin not strong resistance is not bad, inject is some more insulin also is not a problem, no more than is a few more floriferous money just. But have a few patients different, the doctor calculates inject to enter 10 canals insulin, it is tall that his blood sugar should be returned high. This is to make poll painful really, how to do? How cannot also do, no more than changes other result to do not have the medicaments with good insulin to try namely.
What meaning is insulin resistance? You knew now. Insulin resistance is this meaning. To blame diabetic, this is not the evildoing with how old what. But, to the diabetic, this is not to cannot earn a living, but it is a very troublesome package, how to also swing do not drop.

The everyday consumer is inundated with applications powered by machine learning. But in an ordinary day, do we encounter situations and choices which could also benefit from machine learning for which there is no specific tool invented yet? We describe scenarios where people without
any machine learning background could find it useful to define their own solution which uses machine learning. Although machine learning is becoming ubiquitous, the average person is unaware of the steps involved. This abstraction makes sense, in many situations, such as traffic predictions,
it is not necessary for the driver to know what machine learning algorithm is running. However, we consider examples where knowing how to incorporate machine learning into a problem would assist in decision making. We propose a workflow with operations leading to a final application. There
are several challenges here, namely, the average consumer is not expected to have a mathematical background, nor is expected to acquire any additional background. To achieve this new utility, we use a visual analytic pipeline which integrates machine learning and the person. We use the IEEE
VAST 2018 Challenge as a case study in which the user steps through the workflow. Finally, we envision the resulting application.

The Parisian suburb of Aulnay-sous-Bois garnered international attention after the violence and rioting of 2005, but for kids growing up there, it is home. Director Babinet spent more than three years working with a dozen residents, posing questions about family and relationships, hopes and dreams. Although one painfully shy girl can barely speak her name out loud, others such as Régis Marvin Merveille N’Kissi Moggzi are bold as brass, talking fashion and soap opera plots.
The universal melds with the specific. On the playground, the kids choose teams for a game of soccer. The agonized look of those waiting their turn to be picked, especially one chubby little guy with enormous teeth, thick glasses, and an expression that alternates between hope and despair, will be familiar to anyone. In other sections, the very French aspect becomes clear, as the residents talk about the differences between class and race. “Blacks and Arabs are not treated the same as the French,” notes one young interviewee. The film is an interesting companion to Alice Diop’s Vers la tendresse (Towards Tenderness) (also playing at DOXA this year, see page 65), which examines more adult themes, but from a similar perspective of race and socioeconomic privilege. (Coincidentally enough, the housing project in Swagger is the same one that Alice Diop grew up in.)
A box office sensation in France, Babinet’s vivid documentary is bursting with life, and fantasy-fueled mise en scène, but the underlying sadness that colours so much of these young lives curls darkly at the edges. While a little girl reads Heidi in her bed, outside young men are shouting, “They’re coming! The cops!” Sirens paint the air in stippled bands of red and blue. Inside, one girl comforts another with a gentle pat, “Go to sleep,” she says, “You have school tomorrow.” -DW

It's kind of fun to imagine the response you might get if you travelled back in time 45 years and told Americans that in 2014, America's black president will arm the Communist Vietnamese government in Hanoi.
If you can transport yourself to the headspace of Woodstock and the Vietnam War for a second, just imagine the bafflement, outrage, and shock this kind of revelation would have generated in everyone from the fringe anti-communist John Birch society all the way through to the Black Panthers and Weather Underground.
Which makes it even more remarkable that, with little notice, the administration is moving ahead with the support of the Pentagon and key members of Congress with plans to sell weapons to Vietnam. And yes, "key members of Congress" includes Republican John McCain, who was shot down on a combat mission over Vietnam, and who spent the following five and a half years being tortured by his North Vietnamese captors, leaving him permanently disabled.
My, how times change.
Certainly, America's new relationship with Vietnam has a lot to do with realpolitik. Vietnam is understandably interested in maintaining its territorial claims in the South China Sea, because in addition to containing valuable fisheries and shipping lanes between Asia and Europe — which carry $5 trillion worth of goods annually — the South China Sea also sits atop immense oil and gas reserves. (Incidentally, the letters in South China Sea can be rearranged to spell "A Cash Outshine.")
Thing is, Vietnamese and Chinese territorial claims in the region overlap and have been the subject of military scuffles, diplomatic protests, and a self-immolation. The overlap also prompted one of China's strategic rivals, India, to reach out to Vietnam and build closer ties by arming the country with supersonic anti-ship missiles.
Vietnam has been dealing with its powerful next-door neighbor for a millennium. Vietnam and China fought a brief but bitter war in 1979, less than five years after the end of the Vietnam War, and turned into a series of border clashes up until 1990. So it's not surprising Vietnam has learned what diplomatic angles it needs to work if it wants to retain meaningful sovereignty and autonomy from its northern neighbor.
Hence the steady improvement in relations between Vietnam and one of China's main strategic rivals, the United States, over the last decade or two.
There are a few interesting elements worth mentioning. One is that Vietnamese sentiment about the US varies widely among those old enough to have a personal experience; not everyone was pro-Viet Cong, nor was everyone pro-US. Second, while the Vietnam War still looms large in US cultural memory, it hasn't remained as relevant in Vietnam — no doubt in part because the median age there is significantly lower than in the United States.
Yes, Vietnam has moved past the war more than the US. Thanks to World War II, the French Indochina War, the Vietnam War, the Cambodia-Vietnam War, the China-Vietnam War, and a bunch of other conflicts, Vietnam has come to appreciate peace and realize that it can't hold a grudge against every single country that's fought a bloody battle there. Why, did you think it's the Caucuses?
But there's another factor at play here, and that's Vietnam's most important bargaining chip: absolution. Whether the US is being praised, condemned, or accused of hypocrisy for its world dealings, the subject of ethics always crops up. The US public and its politicians often want to be perceived as the good guys. And the Vietnam War was, in the American mind, a very bad war indeed.
The US may be far more powerful than Vietnam in military and economic terms, but the US approach to Vietnam in recent years has felt like it's partly motivated by contrition. And if the US gets to thwart China in the bargain, all the better.

Crown Chakra, is the seat of cosmic consciousness. It connects us to divine awareness.
When our crown chakra is open, we feel connected to our Higher Self. When we are crystal clear, can easily access our inner knowledge and wisdom, when we are balanced, feel connected to others, can see the bigger picture of life purpose and lessons, and feel a sense of serenity, wholeness and connected in life.
Crown chakra clearing and healing is the practice of restoring and harmonizing the crown chakra within our four bodies and energy fields.
In this case study, we are helping a subject to identify, what are the underlying causes of energies blocking the crown chakra.
- Spiritual Body – Mental Diseases
- Mental Body – Stubborn, Blocks to other’s Suggestion
- Emotional Body – Uncomfortable
- Physical Body – Respiratory System > Being Threaten.
From the four-body system and energy fields reading, the person was being threatened in the past. That related unresolved experiences lodged mental diseases in the consciousness, causing discomfort to listen to other people advice and suggestion due to trust issue and traumatic experiences.

According to the university’s website, Tech received over 17,000 applications for freshman admission in 2013. Of those, 2,700 were accepted. Within that group of 2,700, only two are currently listed on the 2013 football roster alongside 26 redshirt freshman.
That’s compared to the average ACC Football program with 13 freshman and another 15-plus second-year redshirts. Even the likes of the Duke Blue Devils and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have more freshman than do the Yellow Jackets — and let’s not even bring up the number of first-year players the Stanford Cardinal have enrolled.
So what is the deal with getting talented rookies into the mix in Atlanta? Is it head coach Paul Johnson and his quirky option pistol hybrid? Is is the dominance of the SEC and especially its rival in the Georgia Bulldogs?
Evidently, it all boils down to academics. The average student who gets accepted into Tech has a GPA between 3.85 and 4.11, an average SAT score of 2000 to 2110 or an average ACT score of 29-33, and will have completed an average of six to 11 AP, IB or dual enrollment classes.
Currently, the average college football student-athlete, according to the NCAA, has a entering GPA between 2.00 and 3.55 on average with an SAT score between 820 to 1010 and ACT score ranging from 68 to 86.
Doesn’t quite add up for Tech in today’s world of college football, does it? But despite these potential damaging restrictions on the program, the Yellow Jackets have been consistent in competing for the ACC title in the Johnson Era.
Tnd this is something Tech president Dr. G.P. Bud Peterson understands as he went to Provost Dr. Rafael Bras and demanded a new degree program to assist athletics. His request had just two requirements. One, it had to have technology in its title and two, it had to offer calculus as one of its core subjects.
And with that request, the freshman class of 2013-14 will begin the journey in towards a Bachelor of Arts Degree in history, technology and society from the Ivan Allen School of Arts at Georgia Tech.
With this degree program, freshman will begin their college career focused on basic health and science classes along with intro classes in calculus, history, economics and English. Electives are offered as an option to this as well with the core of the history and technology component not coming until the junior and senior years.
There is no underwater basket-weaving Class, but there are reports of an elective class that deals with the impact of technology and soccer in third-world countries.
Now this is not to knock on the integrity of the good folks in Atlanta, but rather to commend them in this direction they have chosen to go. We all know and realize the potential doors that college football and other sports can open for talented athletes, but at the end of the day, students are enrolled to better themselves across the board in mind, body and spirit.
Nothing anyone accomplishes on the field can ever come close to the potential they hold with training and a degree from any university, especially one of the premier engineering and research schools in the United States.
So kudos Georgia Tech. Welcome to the party finally.
But be ready for your fans to really get batty when you don’t win games you should and keep losing to the Bulldogs. You don’t have room for academic excuses any longer.

The Order Of The Books In The Hebrew Bible -- By: Gregory Goswell
JETS 51:4 (December 2008) p. 673
The Order Of The Books In The Hebrew Bible
* Greg Goswell is lecturer in biblical studies at Presbyterian Theological College, 684 Elgar Road, Box Hill North, VIC 3129, Australia.
The Bible as a literary work is made up of text and paratext. Paratext may be denned as everything in a text other than the words, that is to say, those elements that are adjoined to the text but are not part of the text itself if the “text” is limited strictly to the words. The paratext of Scripture embraces features such as the order of the biblical books, the names assigned to the different books, and the differing schemes of textual division within the books.1 Since these elements are adjoined to the text, they have an influence on reading and interpretation. This study proceeds on the assumption that text and paratext (though conceptually differentiated) are for all practical purposes inseparable and have an important interrelationship that influences the reading process. I will examine one paratextual feature, namely, the order of the placement of the books that make up the Hebrew Bible. Where a biblical book is placed relative to other books influences, initially at least, a reader’s view of the book, raising expectations regarding the contents of the book.2 A reader naturally assumes that material that is juxtaposed is in some way related in meaning. It is this habit that forms the basis of the following survey and analysis.
It would perhaps be helpful at this early juncture to explain what I am not doing in the present study. This is not a history of the formation of the canon of Scripture. There are many books and articles that attempt such a survey. Some of these have been used in the present study, though their research and conclusions have been put to a different use than that of plotting the historical genesis of the collection of books that now makes up the Hebrew Bible. This article is not an effort to justify the limits of the canon, nor does it seek to explain why some books were included (e.g. Esther, Ecclesiastes) or some excluded (e.g. Sirach) from the canon of Scripture. Nor is it an explanation of the genesis of alternative arrangements of the biblical books. I am not concerned with genetics but with the effect on the reader of
JETS 51:4 (December 2008) p. 674
the present arrangement of biblical books, however that arrangement may have been produced. I will seek to tease out hermeneutical implications of the canonical orders settled upon by different communities of faith. The aim is not to justify and promote a particular order of books, whether Jewish or Christian, as the exc...

The Cisco service provider group today introduced its new Crosswork Network Automation system for service providers. The system uses intent-based networking to help operators predict change and react in near real time. Crosswork includes five separate services. “Each of these could have been their own unique launch,” said Jonathan Davidson, Cisco’s SVP and GM of service provider networking.
The company has been making a big push with its intent-based networking since last June when Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins debuted The Network Intuitive.
It might seem as if the Cisco service provider business is just getting into the intent-based networking action. But Davidson said, “We’ve been driving intent-driven infrastructure for years. I think it’s been five years since we acquired Tail-f and renamed it ‘Network Services Orchestrator.’ It’s an intent-driven tool to deploy services throughout their lifecycle.”
Davidson said the first work in intent-based networking “came out of the service provider domain.” It took a “major leap forward with ACI,” he said. And the Network Intuitive launch last June “took it to an entirely new level; we are applying these technologies back to the service provider domain.”
Crosswork Network Automation gives service providers the tools to describe what they want to do and have that intent be delivered. It extends the capabilities of the Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) and Cisco’s WAN Automation Engine (WAE).
Crosswork Network Automation
The five new services being announced today are:
Cisco Data Platform. It features both an open source and commercial data analytics platform. The open source platform uses code from the Linux Foundation’s Platform for Network Data Analytics (PNDA) project.
Cisco Network Insights. This is cloud-based analytics for solving large-scale routing issues. It’s a cloud-delivered software-as-a-service (SaaS) that lets operators understand what’s happening in their Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) infrastructure.
Cisco Situation Manager. This software uses machine learning to correlate events across an operator’s entire infrastructure, logically grouping events so staff can more rapidly determine where problems are happening. It also includes a social aspect for staff to share information rapidly through common tools such as Slack. “Situation Manager has the ability to find a problem that’s existed in the past, grab information from the repository, and apply that directly inside the situation you’re working in,” said Davidson.
Cisco Health Insights includes smart sensors, smart alerts, and smart remediation to monitor and optimize the network; and Cisco Change Automation is an application that automates operations application, providing closed-loop control. “These two tools work together,” said Davidson. “Once a human has been involved in an event the first time, there’s no reason for a human to get involved the next time.” Closed-loop automation means that if a problem happens and it is fixed, then the next time the problem happens, an alert is issued and the problem is solved automatically.
Davidson said Crosswork helps operators with problems they’ve been complaining about. “We hear that over 50 percent of network outages are caused by humans typing directly into consoles,” he said. “Also, they have a tough time of understanding what’s happening across their entire infrastructure.”
The Australian service provider Telstra is already using some of these Crosswork services.


PORTLAND -- An annual survey of Portland residents by the auditor's office shows a continued decline in the overall satisfaction with how the city is run, though Portlanders remain generally happy where they live.
Survey results by City Auditor LaVonne Griffin-Valade showed that 49 percent of respondents thought city government was doing a good job, down from 55 percent five years ago.
City hall's efforts to make downtown feel like a safe place to live, shop and play dropped from 69 percent in 2008 to 58 percent this year. Still, some 78 percent of respondents felt positive about overall city livability and 86 percent felt that way about their individual neighborhood.
Parks operations also received continued high marks.
In survey sub-categories, ratings continued to fall in satisfaction with garbage disposal costs, street maintenance service, and sewer and storm drain service.
Most Portlanders, 61 percent, did not participate in community projects or public meetings. One in three had negative feelings about having influence over government decisions and two in five were neutral on the subject.
Of survey respondents who own a business, 49 percent felt Portland was a very good or good place to do business.
The survey was sent to 10,150 random households with 38 percent returned. The citywide portion of the survey has an accuracy rating of plus, minus 1.6 percent. Based on demographic queries, respondents generally were older and better educated than the overall city population. Women were over-represented and minorities under-represented.
This report provides the public and policy makers with valuable information regarding resident
satisfaction with City services, Vlade-Griffin wrote in a summary. We encourage Council and bureau managers to study differences in community perceptions and to consider ways to improve services based on these results.

Despite urging from several regional directors to slow down the process, large-scale production of medical marijuana will be allowed in industrial zones in the Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen.
After a public meeting in the morning and a lengthy debate in the afternoon, regional directors passed third reading of the bylaw amendment to allow cannabis production as a permitted use in industrial zones.
Voting against the amendment were director Tom Siddon, Area D (Kaleden/OK Falls), Elef Christensen, Area G (Rural Keremeos/Hedley) and George Bush, Area B (Cawston).
Siddon spoke at length about his opposition to allowing cannabis production facilities in industrial areas and his general opposition to recreational marijuana use.
“The question is why are we rushing this?” Siddon asked just moments before the vote. “It’s important that the public be consulted.”
Siddon took offence to the amount of time allowed for a presentation by Duncan Gordon, chief executive officer for Sunniva Inc. during the public meeting Thursday morning. Sunniva Inc. is interested in building two large greenhouse facilities at the old Weyerhauser mill site in OK Falls.
“Why rush to ramrod this through and put it through,” Siddon said. “Half the public meeting time was spent advocating for that project. That isn’t fair. The public is confused.”
Gordon presented plans during the public hearing outlining the company plans to invest about $125 million into the area and create 220 jobs.
“The intent for this facility is not retail sales. It is my understanding that there has been some challenges in particular to OK Falls area with retail sales and cannabis. That is not our intent for this facility. This is purely for the manufacturing and cultivation of medical grade cannabis,” he said.
Karla Kozakevich, chair of the RDOS, said during the last RDOS meeting the consensus of the board was to allow cannabis production in industrial zones to encourage those in that business not to use agriculture land for large warehouse type operations.
“It can go on agriculture land right now and we think it’s better suited to go in industrial zones,” she said.
At this point, Sunniva Inc. has not yet applied for any permits from the RDOS and it’s also publicly been stated the company is also looking at land in the Osoyoos Indian Band industrial park.

is your system configured with the GATEWAY option?
what value does the sysctl variable "net.inet.ip.forwarding" have?
IP packet forwarding is required to be disabled by default by some
RFC (the number of which currently escapes me 8-).
to enable it, configure your kernel with "options GATEWAY"
or put the line:
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
in your rc.local.
the latter solution will enable packet forwarding. the former will
enable packet forwarding, _and_ give you more mbuf space. I'd say
that, if it's practical, do the former, but to test and make sure that
these solutions work for you, do the latter.
