Maria Taesil Hudson Carpenter, Director of Libraries from Somerville, Massachusetts has been tapped to lead the Santa Monica Public Library.
Carpenter was chosen after a six-month, nationwide search. Once the hiring process is finalized, she will take charge of Santa Monica’s library system in June 2014.
Carpenter succeeds retired Santa Monica City Librarian Greg Mullen.
With extensive experience managing library services and programs, Carpenter has covered the spectrum of library posts from, academic to public, and from instruction to collaborations with community partners.
She has a strong track record in leadership, innovation and obtaining grants. Prior to directing the libraries at the City of Somerville, Carpenter served as Director of Library Advancement, Marketing and Communications for Northeastern University in Boston, MA.
Santa Monica City Manager Rod Gould, who made the announcement on Friday, said he was delighted that Carpenter would be joining the City of Santa Monica.
“She has a proven track record as a collaborator, innovator and advocate, and is highly regarded as a team player,” Gould said. “She is a dynamo, and her ability to work closely with staff, colleagues and the community will have a great impact on our city. We are fortunate to have her ability to lead and create an exciting vision for our public libraries.”
Gould said the Santa Monica Public Library was a civic gem.
“The outstanding quality of its facilities, services and staff is nationally renowned,” he said. “ I have no doubt that Maria will help us achieve our fifth straight year as a five-star-rated public library, and more.”
Carpenter said she was delighted to be joining an outstanding group of people working and volunteering for the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Public Library.
“I very much look forward to leading Santa Monica’s award winning library system, getting to know its people, cultures, and neighborhoods, and together, envisioning the next stage of innovative library services that will optimally serve the community,” Carpenter said.
Acting City Librarian Wright Rix said Carpenter gave every indication of being a perfect fit for the Library and the community.
“New England winters notwithstanding, the many parallels between Santa Monica and Boston are quite resonant,” Rix said. “Ms. Carpenter’s educational achievements, relevant work experience and professional vision have impressed all of us.”
The City sought candidates for the City Librarian position from across the nation. The top two performers had interviews with the City Manager and key staff from multiple departments, including the Library management team.
As City Librarian, Carpenter will receive a salary of $186,648. She will manage an annual budget of over $12 million and more than 200 employees. The Library Department is comprised of a main library and three neighborhood branches. A new neighborhood library, the Pico Branch, will open soon in Virginia Avenue Park.
Carpenter has received nationwide recognition in her profession and holds a Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theater from Ohio Wesleyan University.
She will soon achieve her PhD in Managerial Leadership in the Information Professions from Simmons College, which is reputed to be one of the top schools in the country in this discipline.

04 Jun JUNE IS DAIRY MONTH
“WHEN YOU GROW UP ON A DAIRY FARM,
COWS DON’T TAKE A DAY OFF. SO YOU WORK
EVERYDAY AND MY DAD ALWAYS SAID
‘NO ONE CAN OUT WORK YOU.”
I always like to find a saying from someone who is quoted because of the status they have achieved in our society. I go to a site that lists thousands of says on thousands of subjects.
Well I want to say something good about June Dairy Month. My family on both sides were dairy farmers. Dad milked and showed Guernsey cattle and Mom’s family milked Holstein. I was raised on raw Golden Guernsey milk.
Mom wore out a mixer making butter from the rich and golden colored cream and there is nothing in the world like homemade ice cream from the Guernsey cows.
When I went to the site I found a lot of people who do not know squat about health and had nothing but bad things to say about dairy. So I had to look hard to find this saying from someone who knew how to work and got his ethic from the dairy farm he grew up on. I wager that Coach Summitt is a lot healthier than the other ‘celebrities’ that are telling you what to eat and not eat.
With out using my whole space to dispute all the ridiculous claims I want to get back to where I started. JUNE IS DAIRY MONTH. This promotion that has been going on since I was hatched and is a reminder that good health is connected to a good balanced diet.
The one thing that I have been wondering about for many years is that with the new health crazes and the fact that butterfat is again being valued in milk, why is the Golden Guernsey milk not becoming popular in the back to the land groups?
In mainline dairy herds you will find that Jersey cattle are being added to the group to get the percentage of butterfat up. You will find the breeds like Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, and Jersey breeds are very popular with the cheese makers.
So why is the Guernsey breed fading away? I don’t know. The magazine that caters to the dairy industry ‘Hoard’s Dairyman’ still owns their own herd of Guernseys.
The Golden color of the Guernsey breeds milk is because it is the only breed that produces natural Beta Carotene. It is healthier than any of the other breeds. I guess just as flavorless tomatoes are sold in stores because each one has to be perfect. And beef is aged basically for a few hours rather than for weeks is because the steaks don’t look as good. Age the steak properly and it may not look as good but it will melt in your mouth. As a consumer you have listened and believed a bunch of over educated and opinionated people who wouldn’t know a good steak, or glass of milk, if the tasted one.
Anything that a processing plant takes out of your food is replaced with a bunch of chemicals. Margarine was created for turkey feed and it killed the turkeys. So what do you do with something like this? Feed it to people. It is only one molecule from plastic. And this is healthy?
Milk is not produced by soybeans or almonds. A bit of the nut or bean is processed out to a powder and a lot of stuff is added to it including mostly water. And they don’t taste good either.
If you want to start getting healthy, start by using real whole products.
At the end of the Indianapolis 500 they are drinking whole milk and not some creation from a lab somewhere.
If there was a Guernsey dairy anywhere close to me I would buy raw milk from them. And I bet my health would be better. So go out and have a nice glass of whole milk and have a homemade cookie with it and celebrate June Dairy Month.

A civil rights attorney helps protect the personal rights granted to you by the government. When someone violates those rights, a civil rights attorney can help you make them stop these violations, or repay you for any damage they have done to you. Your civil rights are spelled out in federal and state constitutions and in discrimination laws. In fact, civil rights attorneys are sometimes called discrimination attorneys because they frequently handle cases involving a person being treated differently based on gender, age, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

Published at Wednesday, September 26th, 2018 - 09:22:04 AM. Compressor By Adreanna.
Air compressor maintenance is not always easy. Depending on the size and complexity of a given make or model certain types of maintenance might be difficult for the in-house staff of a company to perform. While a company can certainly benefit from having staff members who are fully trained and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of compressor maintenance such skill sets are not always easy to find among prospective employees in various parts of the country.
As an air compressor goes through month after month of daily use some of the nuts and bolts are bound to become loose. After all as the machine vibrates the parts that comprise the machine move. Loose screws and fasteners are not a sign that the machine is falling apart just an indicator that it is time to pull out a wrench.

Two ex-Trump aides charged in Russia probe, third pleads guilty
Paul Manafort, a former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, was charged on Monday with money laundering and another onetime aide pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, in a sharp escalation of a federal probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, APA reports quoting Reuters.
Manafort, 68, a longtime Republican operative, and associate Rick Gates were arraigned at a federal courthouse in Washington.
Both men pleaded not guilty to a series of charges in a 12-count indictment, ranging from money laundering to acting as unregistered agents of Ukraine’s former pro-Russian government.
Neither Trump nor his campaign were mentioned in the indictment against the pair. Many of the charges, some of which go back more than a decade, have to do with Manafort’s work for Ukraine rather than the Trump campaign.
But in a separate development directly related to Trump’s 2016 election campaign, it emerged on Monday that former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty earlier this month to making false statements to Federal Bureau of Investigation agents.
Investigations by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and several congressional panels into alleged Russian efforts to tilt the election in Trump’s favor and potential collusion by Trump aides have cast a shadow over the Republican president’s first nine months in office.
Manafort ran the Trump campaign from June to August of 2016 before resigning amid reports he might have received millions in illegal payments from a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine.

I recently went up to New York for the day with some friends to see Dear Evan Hansen. It was a show I wanted to see for a long time, but I didn’t jump on the band wagon soon enough and it was hard to get tickets. So we bought these almost 9 months ago, and the day finally came the weekend before last.
I loved the show, and it was as great as I had been hearing. The musical is beautiful and moving. I definitely cried multiple times during the show. At a time when everyone seems so divided the show’s message about human connection felt really poignant.
I often like to go into shows cold especially if I know I’m not going to be seeing the original Broadway cast because otherwise I wind up comparing the cast I’m seeing to what I hear in my head from the cast recording. Although there were still a few people left from the original cast most of them were new, so I did studiously avoid listening to the cast recording and only knew the bare minimum of the plot going in. In retrospect I wish I had known a little bit more going in because I spent three quarters of the show anxious about how Evan’s lie was going to blow up in his face. It actually turned out to be much less terrible than I was anticipating, but either way I kind of wish I had known what was coming so that I didn’t feel so much stress about it for most of the show. Stupid anxiety brain.
Speaking of anxiety brain that was my one complaint about the show. You can’t really think too hard about the mental illness piece of it otherwise you’ll hate it. I mean it’s not instantaneous, but there is a lot of subtle suggestion that getting popular and getting a girlfriend seemingly cured Evan of his debilitating anxiety, which is just not how that works. I loved the rest of the show, so I’m just going to set that aside and not worry about it too much.
It’s definitely a great show, and if you can get tickets I would recommend it to you if you’re looking for a Broadway show to see. That being said I think it’s a show that you can also wait and see as a touring production if you’re like me and weigh out which shows are best seen on Broadway versus those which will be fine as a touring production. There’s not really anything in this production that can’t be recreated well enough on a tour, and especially now that you’re not really going to see the original Broadway cast if that’s something you’re into there’s no reason that the touring actors aren’t just as good as who you would be seeing on Broadway.

I cannot believe that it is already the first week in February – where did January go? As much as I don’t love winter, you really can’t beat those beautiful crisp days where you can spend hours building forts and snow “people”.
And with February comes the last minute plans for Spring Break. If you haven’t already booked your week (or two, in some cases, as some school breaks tie in nicely with Easter this year), you are probably hanging out close to home, which is what I am doing.
Unlike January and February, you can’t always count on the weather locally in March. I think it is a good idea to have some thoughts on indoor and outdoor possibilities so that you are prepared.
How about an escape for everyone and spend a night at a local hotel? It is amazing how you can feel after just one day away from routine. Staying at a hotel gives everyone a break — no cooking, no cleaning — just time hanging out.
The Delta chain has some great deals and they have great locations so that you can take advantage of things going on downtown.

This is for a maximum of 3 adults and 2 children. They also have a 4 story indoor waterslide called the “Corkscrew” – the only one downtown.
Delta Vancouver Suites – Limited availability starting at $189/night for a regular room. They also offer a family package of 1 night accommodation, continental breakfast in the Manhattan restaurant, and 1 in-room movie per day with snacks, such as cookies. These start at $229/night for a family of 2 adults and 2 children.
Delta Bow Valley (Calgary) – Good availability starting at $299.00 per night (premier rooms) but lesser priced rooms (Delta rooms) are sold out already.

The antelopes had an unlucky day when they were сһаѕed by wіɩd dogs, crocodiles and hippos.
These photos were taken by tour guide Daryl Dell at Ngala Nature Reserve (South Africa).
The antelopes fled into the river as wіɩd dogs pursued them.
Even though they were underwater, they were still not oᴜt of dапɡeг when they were ɡгаЬЬed by a large, feгoсіoᴜѕ hippo with its ѕсагу mouth.
Then, it is the turn of һᴜпɡгу crocodiles to аttасk the antelope.
Daryl Dell – the person who took these photos said that the hippo went сгаzу and аttасked the antelope because he thought his territory was being violated. After a few missed grabs, the hippo gave up so the antelope was able to eѕсарe safely.
Even though the water is dапɡeгoᴜѕ, the antelope still hangs around there, waiting for the stray dogs to ɩeаⱱe.
A pack of wіɩd dogs surrounded the antelope.
After that, the antelopes luckily eѕсарed successfully.

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday this past weekend, and we both absolutely loved it.
We were in a loft suite, complete with a fireplace and a gorgeous mountain view. Upon arrival, there was a birthday card and bottle of sparkling wine for me, which was the perfect added touch. The log cabin style of the hotel was super cute, and the rooms pretty much have the comfiest beds ever.
The front desk staff were fantastic! On our way to dinner, we stopped by the desk to see if we could get a late check out. Tim (I think) told us right away that it was no problem at all, and extended our stay by an hour and a half. When we checked out, Hana was extremely polite and friendly and let us leave our car in the hotel parking lot while we walked around Banff (downtown is only about a 10 minute walk - if that, so it's super convenient).
We were given complimentary breakfast passes to have breakfast in Chili's, however; we slept in and didn't end up using them.
As someone who's spent most of her life working in the hospitality industry, this is exactly the type guest service I have come to expect. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone staying in Banff!

In today’s digital age, smartphones have become an integral part of our lives. We rely on them for communication, information, and entertainment.
However, the constant influx of notifications and the addictive nature of these devices can easily derail our productivity.
But what if we told you that your smartphone can actually be a tool to boost your productivity?
It all comes down to practicing mindfulness, which involves being intentional and present in our smartphone use. By harnessing the power of mindfulness, we can transform our smartphones from productivity killers into productivity enhancers.
In this article, we’ll explore the impact of smartphone usage on productivity, delve into the benefits of mindful smartphone use, and provide practical strategies to help you cultivate mindfulness in your daily interactions with your device.
So, let’s dive in and discover how you can make the most of your smartphone to supercharge your productivity!
Understanding the Impact of Smartphone Usage
Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, but their excessive use can have a negative impact on our productivity.
Let’s take a closer look at how smartphone usage affects us.
Studies show that the average person spends several hours each day on their smartphone. Whether it’s mindlessly scrolling through social media, constantly checking notifications, or getting sucked into mobile games, these behaviors can be highly distracting.
They take us away from the tasks at hand and hinder our ability to focus and concentrate.
One of the reasons smartphones are so addictive is that they offer a constant stream of information and entertainment.
We often find ourselves reaching for our phones out of habit, even when there’s no real need. This constant distraction prevents us from fully engaging in our work or other important activities.
Moreover, excessive smartphone use can lead to a phenomenon known as “phantom vibration syndrome,” where we mistakenly perceive our phone vibrating or receiving a notification when it hasn’t. This constant state of alertness and distraction can increase stress levels and reduce overall productivity.
Not only does smartphone overuse impact our ability to concentrate, but it can also affect our sleep quality. The blue light emitted by smartphone screens disrupts our natural sleep patterns, making it harder to fall asleep and get a restful night’s sleep.
As a result, we wake up feeling groggy and less focused the next day, which further hampers our productivity.
It’s essential to be aware of these negative effects of smartphone usage on our productivity. By understanding the impact, we can take proactive steps to address the issue and find a better balance between smartphone use and productivity.
In the following sections, we’ll explore strategies for using smartphones mindfully to enhance our productivity and overall well-being.
The Benefits of Mindful Smartphone Use
Mindful smartphone use can have numerous benefits that directly contribute to increased productivity.
Practicing mindfulness can help you harness the power of your smartphone while minimizing distractions and optimizing your focus.
Here are some key benefits to consider:
1. Enhanced Focus and Attention
When you use your smartphone mindfully, you become more intentional and present in your interactions. This heightened awareness allows you to focus on the task at hand, whether it’s replying to important emails, completing work assignments, or studying for exams.
When you avoid mindless scrolling and multitasking, you can give your full attention to the task, leading to improved efficiency and quality of work.
2. Reduced Distractions
Smartphones can be a breeding ground for distractions with constant notifications, social media updates, and tempting apps.
However, practicing mindfulness helps you regain control over your smartphone usage.
Through setting boundaries and intentionally choosing when and how to engage with your device, you can minimize distractions and stay on track with your goals which ultimately leads to better time management and a decreased likelihood of getting sidetracked.
3. Increased Productivity
Mindful smartphone use helps optimize your productivity by eliminating time wasted on non-essential activities.
Instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media feeds or playing addictive games, you can channel your smartphone usage towards productive endeavors.
Whether it’s using productivity apps, accessing relevant information, or organizing your tasks, your smartphone becomes a valuable tool that supports your productivity rather than hinders it.
4. Improved Well-being
Excessive smartphone use has been linked to negative effects on mental health, such as increased stress, anxiety, and decreased sleep quality.
Practicing mindfulness with your smartphone can create healthier habits and prioritize your well-being.
Mindful breaks from your device, engaging in offline activities, and being present in social interactions can contribute to reduced stress levels and improved overall happiness.
Incorporating mindful smartphone use into your daily routine can have a profound impact on your productivity and well-being. It allows you to harness the potential of your smartphone while maintaining control over your attention and time.
Being intentional, focused, and mindful of your smartphone usage can unlock its true benefits and create a more productive and balanced life.
Strategies for Mindful Smartphone Use
Setting Boundaries and Limits
One effective strategy for mindful smartphone use is to set boundaries and limits.
When you establish specific rules around your smartphone usage, you can regain control over your time and attention.
Consider designating certain times of the day when you will use your smartphone, and create smartphone-free zones, such as during meals or before bedtime.
Practice Digital Detox
Taking regular breaks from your smartphone can be refreshing and rejuvenating. Schedule periods of time where you purposefully disconnect from your device.
During these breaks, engage in activities that don’t involve your smartphone, such as exercising, reading a book, or spending time outdoors. This will help you break the habit of constantly reaching for your phone and allow you to focus on other aspects of your life.
Notifications can be a constant source of distraction and interruptions. Take the time to customize your smartphone’s notification settings to minimize unnecessary disruptions.
Identify the essential apps and contacts that truly require your immediate attention and silence or disable notifications from non-essential sources. By doing so, you can regain control over your attention and reduce the temptation to constantly check your phone.
Utilize Productivity Apps
There are various productivity apps available that can help you manage and optimize your smartphone usage. These apps can assist with time tracking, task management, and focus enhancement.
Experiment with different apps to find ones that align with your specific needs and goals.
They can provide valuable tools and reminders to keep you on track and ensure that your smartphone usage is purposeful and productive.
Remember, the goal is to be intentional and mindful in your smartphone use. Through implementing these strategies, you can develop healthier habits, minimize distractions, and make the most of your smartphone’s potential to enhance your productivity.
Cultivating Mindfulness in Daily Smartphone Use
Incorporating mindfulness into your daily smartphone use can greatly enhance your productivity.
It’s not just about mindlessly scrolling through apps or getting lost in a digital whirlwind.
Here are some practical tips to help you cultivate mindfulness while using your smartphone:
Be Present: When you pick up your smartphone, take a moment to pause and bring your attention to the present moment. Notice the sensations in your body, the sounds around you, and the thoughts in your mind. Grounding yourself in the present can help you become more aware of how you’re using your smartphone.
Observe Your Emotions: Pay attention to your emotions while using your smartphone. Are you feeling anxious, bored, or overwhelmed? Becoming aware of your emotional state can help you understand the reasons behind your smartphone use. If you notice negative emotions, take a step back and evaluate whether your smartphone use is serving you or simply acting as a distraction.
Practice Mindful Scrolling: Scrolling mindlessly through social media feeds can consume valuable time and energy. Instead, approach your scrolling mindfully. Before you start, set an intention for what you want to achieve. Are you looking for inspiration, information, or entertainment? Be selective in the content you consume, and avoid falling into the rabbit hole of endless scrolling.
Check Your Posture: While using your smartphone, pay attention to your posture. Slouching or hunching over can lead to physical discomfort and decreased productivity. Make a conscious effort to sit up straight and hold your smartphone at eye level to maintain good posture. This simple adjustment can improve your focus and reduce strain on your neck and shoulders.
Take Mindful Breaks: Integrate mindful breaks into your smartphone usage routine. Instead of constantly checking your phone during short breaks, give yourself a few minutes of tech-free time. Use this opportunity to stretch, take a walk, or engage in a quick mindfulness exercise. Stepping away from your smartphone helps refresh your mind and prevent burnout.
Set Intentions for App Usage: Before opening an app, ask yourself why you’re using it. Is it for a specific task, communication, or leisure? Setting clear intentions helps you avoid getting sidetracked and wasting time on unrelated activities. Be mindful of the purpose behind each app usage and ensure it aligns with your priorities and goals.
As you focus on practicing these mindful smartphone habits, you can transform your smartphone into a tool that supports your productivity and well-being.
Always remember, it’s not about avoiding your smartphone altogether, but rather using it with intention and awareness.
Mindful Smartphone Use in Specific Scenarios
Now that we understand the importance of mindful smartphone use, let’s explore how it can make a difference in specific scenarios where productivity matters.
Being mindful of our smartphone habits can help maximize our efficiency and focus in these situations.
When it comes to work, our smartphones can either be valuable tools or constant distractions. To make the most of your smartphone in a work environment, try these tips:
- Set designated times for checking emails and messages, rather than constantly interrupting your workflow.
- Use productivity apps to manage tasks, set reminders, and stay organized.
- Turn off non-essential notifications to minimize distractions.
- Take short breaks from your smartphone to give your mind a chance to recharge and refocus.
For students, smartphones can be both helpful and detrimental to studying.
Here’s how to use your smartphone mindfully while studying:
- Turn on airplane mode or use a “do not disturb” feature to avoid interruptions.
- Utilize educational apps and digital resources to supplement your learning.
- Use time management apps to schedule study sessions and breaks effectively.
- Resist the temptation to switch between apps or engage in unrelated activities during study sessions.
c) Social Interactions
Smartphones have become ubiquitous in social settings, often diverting our attention from face-to-face interactions.
Here’s how to balance smartphone use and social interactions mindfully:
- Practice active listening by putting your phone away and giving your full attention to the person you’re interacting with.
- Establish phone-free zones or specific times when you focus solely on connecting with others.
- Avoid excessive social media scrolling when spending time with friends and family.
- Capture special moments with your smartphone but remember to experience them firsthand rather than solely through the screen.
Note that the key is to be intentional and present in these scenarios. Through incorporating mindful smartphone use habits into your daily life, you can boost your productivity and make the most of your interactions, whether at work, in your studies, or during social engagements.
Stay tuned for the next section, where we’ll discuss overcoming challenges and sustaining mindful smartphone habits.
Overcoming Challenges and Sustaining Mindful Habits
Maintaining mindful smartphone use can be challenging, especially when we’re surrounded by constant distractions and temptations.
However, with some strategies and determination, it’s possible to overcome these challenges and sustain mindful habits.
Here are a few tips to help you on your journey:
a) Awareness is key
Start by recognizing your smartphone usage patterns and identifying the triggers that lead to excessive or mindless scrolling.
When you are aware of your habits, you can consciously make an effort to change them.
b) Set realistic goals
Instead of trying to completely eliminate smartphone use, set realistic goals for yourself.
For example, you can start by reducing your screen time by a certain percentage or limiting smartphone use during specific hours of the day.
c) Create smartphone-free zones
Designate certain areas or times where you keep your smartphone away.
For instance, you can decide to keep your phone out of your bedroom or have smartphone-free meals with your family or friends. This will help you break the habit of constantly reaching for your phone.
d) Practice self-discipline
It’s important to exercise self-discipline when it comes to smartphone use. Be mindful of the urge to check your phone unnecessarily and remind yourself of your goals.
Find alternative activities or hobbies that can replace mindless scrolling and keep yourself engaged.
e) Seek support
If you find it difficult to stay on track, consider seeking support from friends, family, or even joining online communities that focus on mindful smartphone use.
Share your progress, challenges, and strategies with others who have similar goals. It can be encouraging and motivating to have a support system.
f) Embrace downtime
Embracing downtime without your smartphone is key for recharging your mind and body.
Find activities that help you relax and unwind, such as reading a book, practicing mindfulness exercises, or engaging in hobbies that don’t involve screens. Give yourself permission to disconnect and enjoy the present moment.
g) Reflect and adapt: Regularly reflect on your progress and evaluate how mindful smartphone use is positively impacting your productivity and overall well-being.
Adjust your strategies as needed and don’t be too hard on yourself if you slip up occasionally. Remember, building mindful habits is a journey, and it takes time and effort.
As you focus on implementing these strategies and staying committed, you can overcome the challenges associated with smartphone use and sustain mindful habits.

Indigenous populations around the world face disproportionately high rates of disease related to the environment and animals. One Health is a concept that has been used effectively to understand and address these health risks. One Health refers to the relationships and interdependencies between animal, human, and environmental health and is an emerging research field that aligns with indigenous views of health. To understand the applicability of One Health in indigenous communities, a critical review was undertaken to investigate evidence of One Health research in indigenous communities internationally, assess the strength of evidence, and understand what gaps are present. This review included the appraisal of twenty-four studies based in five regions: Canada, Africa, Australia, South America, and Central America. The review found that there is a need for studies of high strength, with rigorous methods, local leadership, and active involvement of indigenous viewpoints, to be undertaken in indigenous communities internationally that focus on One Health. It highlights the need to further consider indigenous viewpoints in research to reduce limitations, increase effectiveness of findings, consider appropriateness of recommendations, and benefit communities.

Two years ago, the Obama Justice Department announced that they would sue Florida, a state seeking to end illegal alien voting.
Then-Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez wrote a letter to the Florida Secretary of State indicating that the Department of Justice would be suing Florida for violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). As promised, a lawsuit was filed the next day in the Northern District of Florida challenging Florida’s methods of removing illegal aliens and other ineligible voters from voter rolls.
This lawsuit was one chess move in the escalation of a conflict between the Obama Administration and states who want to prevent illegal aliens from fraudulently voting. Since September 2011, Florida had sought access to a federal database called SAVE, which stands for Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements. The SAVE database would allow Florida officials to check the immigration status of those registered to vote. Just five days before DOJ’s lawsuit was filed, Florida had sued the Justice Department for access to the SAVE database and attempted to remove illegal aliens with the information it had. Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) said, “We’ve been asking for the Department of Homeland Security’s database, SAVE, for months, and they haven’t given it to us.”
Just a few weeks later, Judge Hinkle of the Northern District of Florida ruled against the Department of Justice, denying the government’s request for a preliminary injunction in the NVRA case. Despite the Obama Administration’s efforts to prevent the removal of illegal aliens from voter rolls, there was a victory for the Sunshine State.
We know the only reason the dems don’t want voter I.D laws enacted, is because if that happened, they’d probably have a hard time winning, any elections!!!
We are gaining in getting the word out more and more. Florida is just a start. Do you people realize, THAT is how Obama won the election in 2012. He even boasted that he received 70% of the Hispanic vote. We just need to be sure and VOTE IN NOVEMBER AND TAKE THE SENATE BACK. This lawless administration has got to stop. Then we need our representatives to make changes so this CAN NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
So PLEAE VOTE. We need all the votes we can get this time or Obama will keep taking the law into his own hands. We all know where that will lead. 3rd world country.
Our Vote Doesn’t Matter to Open Border Pundits Anyway
They figure they’ll brainwash us to swallow the overpopulation glass in the economy deterioration porridge anyway.


text: ELKHART — The city launched a TV campaign promoting the good things the downtown has to offer. It's designed to bring new business to the area as the economy begins to turn around. The ads showcase new restaurants, attractions, entertainment and apartment space. "What we wanted to do is remind people what we've got here and now," said Steve Gruber of Downtown Elkhart, Inc. The non-profit group created the spots. "We've got the Lerner Theater, the former Elco that is being restored. We have a world class collection of American art. The river walk is complete. We've got a new ice skating rink, a water park. Upstairs, on a lot of second floors of these commercial buildings, are great apartments," Gruber said. He says in the past 12 months, six new restaurants have opened downtown. "I think people have understood for a while that the health of our downtown really reflects the health of your community. It does reflect on the overall economic climate of the area," said Kyle Hannon of the Elkhart Chamber of Commerce. Some community leaders say the area may have turned the corner economically and now is the time to put its best foot forward to attract new business. "I think in some respects it is turning around. There is a lot more resilience, there is a lot of hope. People are looking at some of the recent news items about electric cars companies expanding to this area," Gruber said. "I think that people understand that businesses are starting to say, 'We really think this next year is going to be a lot better'," Hannon said. Part of the ad campaign was aimed at people under 40. It's goal is to promote living downtown and operating a business there.

UAS Vision (https://www.uasvision.com/2018/09/20/proximity-fuze-anti-uas-warhead-for-the-stinger/) and the Redstone Rocket (https://www.theredstonerocket.com/military_scene/article_1d971606-bc1a-11e8-954e-77d1c5059278) report that the Cruise Missile Defense Systems Project Office, in conjunction with the Armament Research and Development Engineering Center, has completed testing on a new Proximity Fuze warhead for the Stinger missile aimed at improving Stinger performance against unmanned air system (UAS) targets.
The approval will lead to fielding under an urgent materiel release.
“With the test flights completed, the new configuration will be authorized for fielding to selected units under the urgent release directive to support the warfighter against existing and emerging aerial threats on the battlefield. The Army team, with the support of Lockheed Martin Sippican, demonstrated the proximity warhead capability on the Stinger missile during testing conducted at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, from Aug. 7-24.
“The new proximity capability was demonstrated by engaging nine free-flight Unmanned Aircraft Systems targets, consisting of different variants during the Soldier-fired events. The Stinger missiles were fired from the Avenger Weapon System and in the Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems configuration.
“The legacy Stinger Block I missile contains a hit-to-kill fuze which is effective against enemy fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The emergence of low observable UAS, increasingly being deployed by adversarial nations and terrorist groups, is a threat to the warfighter and a challenge for the legacy Stinger missile due to the very small UAS size and low heat signature. This can often result in a close miss against a UAS target. The new proximity fuze senses a near-miss situation and detonates the warhead, causing a proximity kill. This added capability allows the Stinger missile to maintain the hit-to-kill performance while improving effectiveness against varying classes of UAS. The Stinger FIM-92J missile, fitted with LMS’ Proximity Fuze warhead, is produced by Raytheon Missile Systems.”

This paper provides an empirical examination of the determinants of firms' decisions where to incorporate. Consistent with our theoretical predictions, we find substantial evidence that firms are more likely to incorporate in states with a high-quality judicial system and with corporate law rules that offer firms flexibility to devise their governance arrangement in areas unrelated to takeovers. We find no evidence that firms are more likely to incorporate in states with anti-takeover statutes and only weak evidence that firms avoid states with anti-takeover statutes. The latter results are consistent with the hypothesis that anti-takeover statutes have no significant effect on a company's marginal ability to resist takeovers.

Earlier this evening, in one of our conversations, my mother mentioned a couple of letters that I had once written her. We often wrote letters to our beloveds, a tradition we love keeping. She left me alone in her kitchen, making hot drinks, chamomile for her, a rose infusion for me, came back into the room and handed me a few folded pages. As I gently unfolded the papers, and as the lines appeared written in dreamy letters, all of which I recognize too well, their curves, their openings, and closures, I could smell the dried flowers still in between the folded papers. One of the letters dated 1995, and the other 2003, I wrote the first one when I was 15, and the other when I was 23. The black ink, romantic characters and words carried me into a swoon of a teenager’s expressions and impressions, the fire that burns ablaze in those words burns brighter and still in my heart, and this life has started to make some sense now again. The dreams my sight beheld on those papers, and to my utter relief and belief, have crossed my blessed path, at a time, that not only have I learned it is the divine timing, but I also developed a strong belief and will for it. The furious love, the passionate love inside me kicked into my system, I realize that I have gratefully come to terms with yet another cycle.
After having been infatuated by the beauty of my dark pensées, over our humanity or lack of it thereof, camouflaged identities, false dreams and convictions, artificial actions and reactions leading to artificial lives based on smothered sensitivity and mind tricks, the nuances between the mind that exists within the heart of the all, and the other varieties of the mind, like the one that is directly linked to one’s identity, which is in turn connected to society, and of course influences, and such human salvation and damnation. It can be fun, if you get what I mean, the exploration, the knowledge thus the expansion that follows, mind, heart, body, one expanded faculty is enough to trigger one and even the two others. But the question that keeps popping out is ‘How did I get here, to this edge and I want to jump, find my dive into it, face it, see what more mysteries time unfolds.’ That’s a mind trick, you’re probably right. Still, some questions come with answers to them, and that makes it impossible to lay them to rest, if only out of our slutty egos, some questions, we just have to answer, having a variety of logical, psychological, intellectual, or from life-experience related-facts answers makes it even the more appealing, we want to try this one out, or the other, see what makes wiser sense, see if we can understand human behavior possibly any further, not to understand our selves, at all, no, that is an inside job don’t we all agree to that by now. We try to further our understanding in human behavior to simply be able to identify.
Of which our endless search for gods and deities, and places in time and space.
‘I am a strange machine. I travel in different weathers, dusty, dreamy, rainy, or flowery. I travel in different times. Immersed in time, I come to love myself and all other beings, to express loving-kindness, to a neutral attitude, and to a respect of the All, and to the will and the state of events and beings, in and around me.’ This is what these letters whispered, as I breathed in and locked the scent of the dried flowers.
My mother’s musical words expressing the last of her sweet thoughts for the night call me out of my rêverie. I delicately fold the papers as when given to me, and as I hand them over to my mother, I couldn’t help but give her a smile and a nod, I might have bitten my lip a little too. I am satisfied. Thank you Beloved. Only then did it dawn on me how golden some moments are. And how insignificant other moments are, merely wasted on not being golden.
I could tell you more, but then…

I woke up this morning reading tweets from @acampadabcn urging people to come to Plaza Catalunya as the police had arrived and was acting violent towards the non-violent protesters. I got there an hour later, along with hundreds of other people.
I don’t scream but I take pictures, because police brutality is not okay, and the world needs to see this. Barcelona sin miedo is trending worldwide on Twitter. So is Plaza Cataluña, Felip Puig and now #confloresalas7 – the power of internet is incredible.
The people have taken over the square again. And at 7 they urge everybody to join the protest, with flowers. I’ll do my best to be there.
Here’s some photos from earlier today, the helicopter is still around.

Oregon State Police say a trooper shot a pit bull that bit him Saturday near Grants Pass as he was trying to arrest the dog's owner.

Lt. Gregg Hastings, an agency spokesman, said state troopers were first called to 5800 block of Fish Hatchery Road on reports that an intoxicated woman was yelling at the home's residents and their canines.
Witnesses said the suspect threatened to have her own dog attack the other dogs.
When troopers tried to arrest the woman, her dog bit the officer making the arrest, Hastings said.
Senior Trooper Josh Quick then "shot it in self defense," according to a statement issued Sunday by the agency.
The dog ran away. Hastings said someone later found the wounded dog and brought it into a veterinary clinic, where it was euthanized because of his injuries. The dog will be tested for rabies.
Quick was treated and released for the lower-leg bite. Hastings said he is not being placed on leave and expects to return to duty soon.
