Another day, another assault by this Tory government on the very voters who gave it such a stonking majority.
The change in social care subsidies in England, sneaked out under the shield of their own sleaze scandal, is a finely targeted strike on older, less affluent homeowners living in northern English seats. These are the very people Boris Johnson now likes to claim as his own. Boris’ manifesto promise, repeated time and again, was that people would not lose their homes through the unlucky “bolt from the blue” of needing care in old age. Well, now they will. Another lie from Boris Johnson & his Tory government
With a new manipulation of the figures that create an £86,000 cap on care costs, the Treasury claws back some of its high cost – but all of it taken from those with less valuable assets.
On the same day another lie, another missile lands on his target voters:
The northern rail promises hit the buffers:
- Forget Bradford
- Forget Leeds.
How reckless that in such a short time two key “red wall” promises Johnson made in 2019 have become serious electoral liabilities.
The Real Catastrophe
- Frail people being left at home alone without support, as care is increasingly rationed
- The low quality of care: with 15-minute home visits
- The inadequacies in service provision found in Care Quality Commission inspections
The King’s Fund says many of these services never improve. Difficulty in recruiting staff may make improvement even harder.
All the attention has been on who should pay for social care, and how much. But that should be a sideshow, as it doesn’t touch the real catastrophe: lack of care, low standards and blocked NHS beds.
The real crisis is the 1.5 million people denied enough care, people who would have received it in 2010, according to Age Concern.
Wasn’t this all “fixed” with the £12bn national insurance rise – the increase the Conservatives called the health and social care levy? In a word, no.
Meanwhile, as the NHS crisis grows, The lack of NHS beds, many occupied by people waiting for social care, causes blockages in A&E, and the pile-up of ambulances we have seen outside hospitals.
How many NHS beds are blocked? Conveniently, last year the government paused counting and publishing those figures.
Remember that “oven-ready plan”?
There is no social care plan, only a homeowners’ inheritance plan. There is no plan to reorganise the shambolic patchwork of care providers; so many understaffed, while others are in debt to private equity firms.
With 100,000 vacancies in the sector, and the number growing, the Tories have no care workforce plan. We need a national care service, with pay and career paths integrated with the NHS.

After hearing much testimony from parents calling for the expenditure of $240,000 added to the budget for teaching assistant hours, the School Board voted 5-0 to fund aides in first grade classrooms only.
The allocation will support 1.5 hours of daily instructional help in first grade classrooms across the District at a cost of $60,000. The allocation does not completely restore the District’s $118,000 reduction in teaching assistant hours, which results in a loss of teaching assistant hours in second and third grade classrooms.
Board Chairman Steve Young said ultimately it’s the responsibility of school administrators to allocate the teaching assistant hours; so it is possible teaching assistants could be assigned to a second- or third-grade classroom, if needed.
“One of the things I was listening to back in the workshops mid-winter and subsequent meetings here is Kindergarten is in a different physical location. With kids making the transition to a different building, the first thing that comes to mind are those first graders,” said member Leitha Reilly, who proposed they use $60,000 of the $240,000 budgeted for teaching assistants to support first grade classrooms.
Reilly noted she is comfortable that there is a plan in place for the three elementary schools once the teaching assistant hours are reduced, and that the administrators of those schools have said they’re comfortable with the plan proposed.
“But I still hear concern from the public,” she said. “I would like to propose we allow the Superintendent and his team to implement their plan, but put some provisions in place so we get reports on how it’s working and put support at the first grade level, so there’s not as much concern that they’re going to a huge building from a small school.”
“I would support (Reilly’s) proposal with the caveat we continue to look at (Superintendent Nate Greenberg’s) proposal to determine how we would deal without assistants,” member John Laferriere said, noting he would like to see more detail, as well as metrics they can use to judge the success of the reorganization of staff in the schools to satisfy classroom needs that teaching assistants previously fulfilled.
Greenberg recommended reserving the remaining funds for unanticipated expenses, such as accommodating an increase in enrollment.
“I think a major portion of the money should be insurance money. If there’s a blip in enrollment, we could turn it into a teaching position, not dissimilar with what we have done in the past,” Greenberg said, noting continued growth in the north end of town that appears to be pulling in elementary-aged kids. “Any money left over at the end of the year would go to offset the tax rate in FY17.”
“In the four years I have been serving on the Board, there has never been more feedback on any issue. There wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t have an email on this topic in my inbox,” member Nancy Hendricks said, thanking parents and teaching assistants in the audience for their interest. “Thank you for that. We want people to be involved and get feedback.”
“This has been a struggle for me because I have appreciated all the conversations I’ve had in the post office, the grocery store, on the telephone. But at the beginning of this century, I made a promise to the voters that when enrollment decreased, if we could bring in aides, we would as a board reduce them as enrollment decreases,” Young said. “Although, many believe this is a mandate of the voters, it has been difficult because I already committed to it.”
Ultimately, the Board agreed to reduce teaching assistant hours, funding only 19.5 hours across the three elementary schools.
Following the vote, parents were visibility disheartened as they gathered in the hallway outside the Moose Hill Council Chambers.
“I’m so upset with the shortsightedness of this Board,” said Donna Traynham, a professional in education who has been a strong advocate for increasing teaching assistant hours in the elementary schools. “The $240,000 is a very small price to pay to make sure students have the resources they need.”
“It will be interesting in 12 years when all these first graders are graduating,” said Lucas Lafond, a sixth grader who told the Board at its April 20 meeting he wouldn’t be the successful student he is today without the individual attention he was able to receive from a classroom assistant.
His sister will enter first grade in the fall.
“We are asking teachers to do the impossible and passing on a resource that could help them,” Traynham said. “And the message they’re sending is teachers are just going to have to figure it out.”
Traynham is particularly concerned the Board has disengaged community members who took interest in the issue, voted overwhelmingly in support of funding the teaching assistants at the District’s Deliberative Session, then voted in favor of the overall budget with the additional funding for the aides.
Traynham said there are no plans to drop the issue of increasing instructional assistant time in the elementary classrooms.
“This is not over,” she said. “We will be at the School Board meetings in the fall and will present a citizen’s petition to put this back on the ballot to prove it’s what the taxpayers wanted. And we hope the community will come forward and give their support to it to show we were serious.”

Y’know, everyone has one: those self-motivated hustlers that people count on for support, comfort, and getting things done because their lives seem put-together. For years, I found the label flattering because it felt like recognition for the efforts I’d take to ensure those I cared about felt secure and loved while still holding it down for myself. The issue I never saw coming back then was that aiming for perfection 24/7 left no room for me to feel comfortable being fully vulnerable with even my closest loved ones. When I was down bad, I couldn’t communicate how I felt or why because I dreaded the idea of asking for too much or being needy. I feared that people wouldn’t be able to handle my lows like my highs. While I’d sacrifice anything to avoid losing relationships and being alone, the feeling of loneliness in a room full of people became so familiar to me I grew used to it.
It took months of unpacking pent-up emotions, countless one-on-ones, and traveling alone for me to find peace in solitude and authenticity. At 21, I finally learned that it is completely okay to not be constantly at the top of your game and that honesty is key to establishing worthwhile connections. Figuring out how to live my full truth through thoughtful action and communication was a roller coaster ride full of losses, mistakes, and tears that have now beautifully transformed into gains, lessons, and light. I couldn’t have discovered the power that lies in candid, fearless expression without the village behind me—the people who chose to stick around to watch me go from “strong” to heartful—and for them I’m eternally grateful.

Press Releases, 4/8/2015
Finland's use of development cooperation appropriations increased in 2014
Press release 96/2015
8 April 2015
(The press release was revised on 9 April at 17.15 concerning the figures on humanitarian aid and Ebola pandemic.)
Finland used a total of EUR 1.23 billion to development cooperation in 2014. This represented 0.6 per cent of Finland's gross national income (GNI). The figure also covers expenses arising from the reception of refugees, Finland's share of the EU budget, and other expenditure in different administrative areas collated in statistics under development cooperation.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD will launch the preliminary annual Official Development Assistance (ODA) statistics of 2014 today.
Finland's development cooperation disbursements increased on the previous year by EUR 150 million. The appropriations approved in the budget remained on the same level as in the previous year. The amount of available resources increased on account of, among other things, the growth of income acquired from emissions trading transactions and, thanks to the raising of the efficiency of public services, more efficient use of appropriations carried over from the previous years. The increased resources were channelled above all to humanitarian crises and improvement of the position of girls and women.
In 2014, Finland granted a record amount of nearly EUR 106 million from the humanitarian aid item of the budget allocation table. The share of the Ebola pandemic of the disbursements rose to a total of EUR 10 million. Also the support to international organizations, fragile states and Finnfund increased.
In 2014, Finland directed its assistance especially to the promotion of equality and the rights of girls and women through the UN Women and the United Nations Population Fund UNFPA. The main recipient of Finland's development cooperation UNFPA was directed nearly EUR 51 million of core funding and funding for country-specific projects.
In 2014, the Government channelled a total of EUR 69 million acquired from emissions trading transactions to development cooperation and international financing related to climate change.
The biggest recipients of Finland's development cooperation appropriations in 2014 were Kenya (c. MEUR 40), Tanzania (c. MEUR 39), Ethiopia and Afghanistan (c. MEUR 28), Nepal (c. MEUR 25), Zambia (c. MEUR 21), Mozambique (c. MEUR 20) and Somalia (c. MEUR 18). The figures include both intergovernmental development cooperation, a part of NGOs'/CSOs' country-specific cooperation and country-specific projects carried out via the UN agencies.

Manifestation and affirmation are related concepts, but they have some key differences. Here we know the difference between Manifestation and Affirmation.
Manifestation refers to the process of bringing something into reality through positive thinking and belief. It is the idea that by focusing on a positive outcome and taking action towards it, you can manifest it into your life. This concept is often associated with the law of attraction, which states that “like attracts like,” and that by focusing on positive thoughts and feelings, you can attract positive experiences and outcomes.
Affirmation, on the other hand, is a technique for programming the mind to believe in a certain thing. An affirmation is a positive statement that you repeat to yourself, often as part of a daily routine, to help you overcome negative thoughts and beliefs. The idea behind affirmations is that if you repeat a positive statement to yourself often enough, your subconscious will eventually believe it, and this belief will influence your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
So Manifestation is the process of bringing something into reality and Affirmation is a way to boost the belief of something you want to manifest in your life. They work together to help you achieve your goals, by influencing your thoughts, emotions, and actions in a positive way.
Manifestation is more action oriented. It focus on the process of creating something, such as visualizing it, feeling it, taking steps towards it, and making it happen, where affirmation is more about reprograming your mind to have more positive thoughts and beliefs to support your manifestation.
Manifestation vs Affirmation – Which is more Powerful?
Manifestation and affirmations are both techniques that can be used to help people achieve their goals and improve their lives. Both involve setting a clear intention and taking action to bring that intention to fruition.
Manifestation is the process of bringing desires into reality. It involves identifying a specific goal or outcome, and taking steps to make it happen. Manifestation can involve visualizing the outcome, setting a clear intention, and taking action to bring it about. It is often associated with the law of attraction, which states that like attracts like, and that by focusing on positive thoughts and feelings, you can bring positive experiences and outcomes into your life.
Affirmations are positive statements that are used to reprogram the mind and change negative thought patterns. They are often used to help people overcome limiting beliefs, build self-confidence, and achieve specific goals. Affirmations can be used in conjunction with visualization and other manifestation techniques to help focus the mind and reinforce the desired outcome.
It’s hard to say which one is more powerful, as it may vary on personal experiences and ways of practice. Both can be effective in their own ways, and they can also be used together. Manifestation techniques like visualization can help you see and feel the outcome you desire, while affirmations can help you reprogram your mind to believe that the outcome is possible and attainable.
It’s recommended to try out both techniques and see which one resonates with you more and would work better for you. Additionally, combining both techniques can be a powerful way to manifest your desired outcome.
25 AFFIRMATIONS TO MANIFEST YOUR YES
- I trust in the power of manifestation to bring my desires to reality.
- I am open and receptive to receiving all the abundance the universe has to offer.
- I am confident and capable of manifesting my dreams into reality.
- I deserve of all the good things & achievements of life.
- I am grateful for the abundance & happiness that is constantly flowing into my life.
- I am in alignment with my highest self and my desires are manifesting effortlessly.
- I believe in my ability to manifest my dreams and make them a reality.
- I am surrounded by positive energy that supports the manifestation of my desires.
- I trust the universe to guide me towards the manifestation of my desires.
- I am filled with gratitude for the manifestation of my desires.
- I focus on the positive and visualize the manifestation of my desires.
- I release any doubts or fears and trust in the manifestation process.
- I am open to receiving profusion in all aspects of my life.
- I have faith that my desires will manifest in perfect timing.
- I am filled with excitement for the manifestation of my desires.
- I am surrounded by supportive people and opportunities that help manifest my desires.

- I am grateful for my past manifestations and trust in the manifestations yet to come
- I trust in the Universe to bring my desires to me in perfect ways.
- I am open to receiving and manifesting my desires now and always.
It’s recommended to pick a few that resonate with you the most, and repeat them regularly, such as in the morning or before sleep. You can also write them down and post them in a place you can see them regularly, like on your mirror, fridge or office.
Remember that affirmations are not magic, they are tools to support you and help you focus on positive thoughts and energy, and when used along with visualization and other manifestation techniques, they can be an effective way to bring your desires into reality.
Finally, Manifestation and Affirmations are powerful tools that can be used to help you achieve your goals and improve your life. Manifestation is the process of bringing something into being, and can involve setting a clear intention, visualizing the outcome, and taking action to bring it about.
Affirmations are positive statements that can be used to reprogram the mind and change negative thought patterns, and can help you overcome limiting beliefs and build self-confidence.
Both techniques can be effective in their own ways, and they can also be used together. Using affirmations in conjunction with visualization and other manifestation techniques can help focus the mind and reinforce the desired outcome. It’s recommended to try out both techniques and see which one resonates with you more, and use them regularly.
Additionally, practicing gratitude, positive thinking, and self-care will help you feel more positive energy, which can attract the manifestations you desire. Remember that the key is to be persistent and persistent in the practice, it’s all about the small actions you take every day.

Back in May, Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi traveled to Milwaukee and proceeded to rip the Medicare reform plan of House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican:
Democrats brought the fight over Medicare reform to U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s backyard Thursday, holding an event in the home state of the man attempting to turn the federal program into a subsidized private insurance plan. Democratic U.S Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., held a press conference at the community senior center in Waunakee, where they vowed to fight for continued funding of the social safety net that helps millions of seniors get medical care. … “This plan would abolish Medicare as we know it,” said Pelosi. “We cannot let that happen.”
So it was with some surprise when I read this in the New York Times:
Though it reached no agreement, the special Congressional committee on deficit reduction built a case for major structural changes in Medicare that would limit the government’s open-ended financial commitment to the program, lawmakers and health policy experts say. Members of both parties told the panel that Medicare should offer a fixed amount of money to each beneficiary to buy coverage from competing private plans, whose costs and benefits would be tightly regulated by the government. The idea faces opposition from many Democrats, who say it would shift costs to beneficiaries and eliminate the guarantee of affordable health insurance for older Americans. But some Democrats say that—if carefully designed, with enough protections for beneficiaries—it might work. The idea is sometimes known as premium support, because Medicare would subsidize premiums charged by private insurers that care for beneficiaries under contract with the government.
Now you tell us, NYTimes. Shorter version: Ryan’s idea of turning Medicare into a premium support system is actually a pretty mainstream idea. Former Clinton budget chief Alice Rivlin included it in her fiscal reform plan for the Bipartisan Policy Center. (Even some White House economists thought there was merit in Ryan’s plan, my sources say, though they believed it slowed the growth in Medicare spending by an unrealistic amount. But if ObamaCare is unable to reduce costs and preserve quality, a premium support system is a possible Plan B.) And as Avik Roy of Forbes notes (in a great piece), “Again, it’s not clear if Democratic supporters of reform are these think-tank types, or whether they include actual members of Congress.” Still, given the need to transform the U.S. social safety net into a rational, market-based system, any support from the left is a hopeful sign.

Additional Certifications Are On The Way, Engine Management System By Rockwell Collins
By Anthony Liberatore
Officials from Rotax announced Tuesday at AirVenture that the new Rotax 912 iS Fuel Injected engine received ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) certification on July 16th. The ASTM Standard F2339-06 is the benchmark for design and manufacture for light sport aircraft.
Christian Mundigler, Manager of Rotax Aircraft Engines, said that with the same TBO as the current 912's the Si variant will enter the marketplace with a 2000 hr TBO. Some of the design features Mundigler noted were it is a 100 hp engine that weighs 140.2 pounds, and is has the ability to burn Mogas, Avgas, and E10. The iS also has a 20 percent improvement in fuel economy over the carburetor equipped 912's. This fuel economy increase can translate into much lower operating cost for an FBO in a training environment, up to $4,000 per 100 hrs flown. Other design improvements included a redesigned oil pump, to a 6 chamber design.
But the major change is the iS being equipped with a Digital Engine Control Unit (ECU) developed by Rockwell Collins. The redundancy of the Rockwell system integrating with this engine includes, dual fuel injectors per cylinder, dual ignition coils, as well as dual generators. To discuss their relationship with Bombardier BRP, Mundigler introduced Ben Russ from Rockwell Collins, who spoke of Rockwell's current aerospace markets and elaborated on the 912 iS's ECU.
To facilitate the integration of the 912 iS to airframes, Rotax can equip the 912 IS with their Power-Pac, which consist of a standardized exhaust system and a tubular mounting suspension frame on the rear of the engine to simply motor mount design and attachments points to the existing airframe. The 912 iS is also compliant with current European noise reduction requirements.
Rotax is expecting the full production Type Certificate for the 912 iS in August, with FAR 33 Certification expected to come shortly thereafter.

According to a white paper titled Key Logistics Trends In Life Sciences 2023+ by DHL, “The global population is expected to increase from 6.9 billion people in 2010 to 8.0 billion in 2025…This will be accompanied by a growing demand for healthcare and a shift towards age-related disease patterns.” DHL’s well-devised white paper clearly outlines how humanity is currently heading toward unprecedented population growth, where healthcare for the aging will become a primary focus for nations across the globe. As much as the attention on the development of healthcare institutions, supplies and applications are under the spotlight, so too is the need for sophisticated logistics systems capable of supporting the demand of the ever-increasing population. In this article, we will explore the top five life science logistics trends expected in 2023.
Because the global population is on the rise, and more opportunity exists in the cities, greater migration shifts are likely. According to the United Nations, “As of 2014, it’s thought that 54% of the world’s population lives in cities – and it’s expected to reach 66% by 2050”. As cities grow, so too does the need for decent healthcare systems and infrastructure to handle a greater number of people. At present, there is increasing evidence to suggest that healthcare infrastructure across the US, is in a critical state. Health Facilities Management states:
“This deterioration of health care facilities seems to be becoming a national concern, as one-third of chief financial officers (CFOs) responding to a survey conducted by the Healthcare Financial Management Association reported that their hospitals were in worse condition than 10 years ago.”
The fact that infrastructure is breaking down across the US is indicative that there is a serious lack of funding across the healthcare board, as rising costs are negatively impacting the system nationwide. DHL’s white paper states:
“This shift will have direct consequences for healthcare infrastructures and logistics.”
In truth, at this point in time, huge changes will need to take place prior to greater population growth in order for cities across the world to sustain their citizens and their healthcare needs. You are asking; how does migration and healthcare trends impact logistics? Undoubtedly, there will be greater pressure on logistics systems to provide better support to a greater amount of people. Technology will need to play a key role in these new systems. The use of AI, robotics and machine learning will need to be embraced to a greater degree in order to support the life science trends approaching nations in the coming years.
Revolutionary medical advancements
From 3D printing organs, key vaccine developments, to rapid, cost-effective advancements in mapping the human genome, medical innovations are making the prospect of eradicating malicious diseases and extending human life extremely positive. DHL states,
“There are many more visions about the future of healthcare. One thing for sure is that the life sciences sector will change its face during the next decade. And life sciences logistics will be part of this change.”
Logistics will need to play a role in these advancements; by ensuring the entire medical supply chain is moving with the times, and remaining cost-effective, to ensure hospitals and patients can afford medical treatments. According to the Logistics Bureau;
“Given that hospitals and other healthcare facilities exist only to provide care to patients, it can come as a surprise to know that supply chain cost is typically the second largest expense such facilities incur.”
DHL states, “Due to more complex supply chains, among other things, policy makers worldwide are enforcing stricter regulations for manufacturing and logistics.” Maintaining a healthy supply chain in the medical arena is key to a successful outcome for patients and facilities alike. If drugs arrive at the wrong temperature, or if overpopulation leads to greater road congestion, meaning greater difficulties for ambulance drivers, the line between life and death can quickly shift. Logistics company CartonCloud has designed an application set to support and assist transport companies with this changing landscape. As greater regulations are now being put in place to counteract issues facing the life science industry and the critical logistics needs to ensure everything needed to saves lives is functioning at an optimum. DHL further outlines how regulations are impact the medical industry,
“Key new requirements in the European Union, for example, include risk assessment of delivery routes, temperature monitoring and reporting of temperature excursions and the use of dedicated vehicles where possible.”
As more developing nations are coming online, a greater need for supplies are on the increase, especially in the life sciences and healthcare sectors. Seemingly simple healthcare setups for developed nations, such as proper hygiene and sewage systems are often the cause of a number of life threatening diseases in the undeveloped world. Now a number of programs are underway in places such as Africa and India, where new and improved systems are being designed to support local people and their healthcare needs. Wired states,
“About 1.5 million children die every year from contaminated food and water, and in developing countries, half of all patients in hospitals are there because of problems with water and sanitation. What’s more, all this puts an economic strain on such countries. In India, bad sanitation practices costs the country nearly $54 billion a year, or 6.4 percent of its GDP.”
Again, logistics will need to step up and play a bigger role in the way these nations progress into 2023 and beyond.
In conclusion, there are a number of key trends outlining where life sciences is heading and how logistics systems will need to act as a back bone to this drastically changing landscape.
“Challenges for the life sciences industry will have many consequences for logistics within the sector. Shifting disease patterns and innovative products will have an impact on what is stored and transported. Regulation, competition and cost pressure will affect logistics procedures. Market changes and more decentralized supply chains will lead to new transportation routes. The fastest growth is expected in markets where adequate logistics infrastructures are not yet fully developed. However, in the more established markets we also see logistics demand being subject to change…”states DHL.

While Disney World has been enjoying the attraction for a month, the patience of the Batuu travelers in Disneyland has paid off because now they have THREE new other-worldly treats exclusive to Anaheim! And, we’re giving you a first look and taste of the cheesiest chips in the galaxy!
It hasn’t been all TRICKS this Halloween season at Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District!
While Christmas decor and merchandise seem to be popping up all over Disney parks already, you can hold onto Halloween for just a few more days with this EPIC TREAT, available now from Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, at the Downtown Disney District.
Alright cheesecake fans, we’ve got a treat for you!
We’ve been snacking on a bunch of delicious limited-time rainbow treats this weekend at Disneyland Resort. We showed you the Rainbow Bread Pudding and the colorific Rainbow Macaron Box and now we’re back with the Rainbow Cheesecake!
Limited-time rainbow treats are out in full force at the Disneyland Resort this weekend!
Celebrating Gay Days, an assortment of merchandise and snacks items are available for guests to enjoy, inspired by Disney’s “Love Comes in Every Color” initiative. We tried the Rainbow Bread Pudding at Pacific Wharf Cafe, so next, naturally, we had to grab a treat that comes in each and every color of the rainbow!
When Walt Disney envisioned Disneyland Park, one small component of that dream was a private escape within the Park where Walt and his beloved wife Lillian could entertain family, friends, dignitaries, and celebrities. The space wasn’t completed before his death, but the design persisted, and 21 Royal was born.
The space has been used for several different purposes — the Dream Suite, an Art Gallery, etc — previously. But since 2015, 21 Royal has been an exclusive space in the heart of New Orleans Square available for private dining events. [Read more…]
in Disneyland’s Fantasyland is the little overlay that could. Back in 2017, Disneyland Park reimagined its historic Village Haus as part of the company’s celebration of the release of the live-action Beauty and the Beast. But the last petal still hasn’t fallen, and Red Rose Taverne appears to be a sticking around indefinitely.
So when we’re in Disneyland, we always pop by to see what’s cookin’ in this poor, provincial town, and recently we discovered a couple new breakfast dishes we had to try. [Read more…]
is the Beauty and the Beast overlay of Village Haus that, apparently, became a permanent prisoner of Disneyland Park because it shows no signs of being released. The overlay began in 2017 as a promo for the live-action Beauty and the Beast film released that year, and the French- and movie-inspired dishes gained popularity right away. (You can see our very first review of the quick service menu here!)
And now we’re back to enjoy items from the Taverne’s lunch and dinner menu. So put the lid back over your enchanted rose, and prepare to belt out some tunes: it’s time to eat.
The lunch and dinner menu at Red Rose Taverne has seen a few changes since our first visit over two years ago. [Read more…]
It’s time to bid “Bright suns!” (that’s HELLO!) to the day with breakfast at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo! Docking Bay is the brand new land’s largest quick service dining location. They’ll be serving up intergalactic eats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we’re enjoying bites on opening day!
The menu for breakfast at Docking Bay is small, featuring just three entrees plus one kids’ breakfast item. [Read more…]
We recently shared that Lamplight Lounge on Disney California Adventure Park’s Pixar Pier began taking reservations for an all-new brunch service. And this weekend saw the first brunch service in this eclectic spot! Let’s see how this fabulous restaurant is charming guests for brunch!

New menu items

Suggested Retail Price: $79.99
Distributor: Marvel Studios/Buena Vista Home Entertainment
One of the most disappointing things Marvel has done in its bid for superhero dominance is the creation of MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. – an ABC TV series that should have been better than it actually was. Now it’s out on DVD and Blu-ray as THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON for the binge-viewers out there.
And considering Joss Whedon, who wrote and directed THE AVENGERS, was at the helm and co-created the series with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tacharoen, it really was hard watching this Marvel movie universe off shoot flounder for a good portion of the first season.
The premise had me from the get-go – Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) somehow survived his death in THE AVENGERS and is secretly commanding a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the art of, well, janitorial skills?!?
Yes, the first half of the season found the characters essentially cleaning up bigger messes but rarely getting into major action. Call it THE JANITORS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. and maybe I would have respected it more.
The cast is fleshed out by vanilla agent Grant Ward (Brent Dalton), emotionless bad-ass Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), mysterious computer hacker and new to S.H.I.E.L.D Skye (Chloe Bennet), and the bickering (and hard to understand tech duo) of Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge).
Some familiar faces from the movie universe show up, most notable Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury (a huge, and very welcome surprise), Agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and Lady Sif (Jamie Alexander) from the THOR movies. Their addition definitely emphasizes that this isn’t just a bland TV offshoot. If only there were more cameos and more of an emphasis on a broader universe.
While the first half really blew in many ways, the second half of the season started to gain momentum with the release of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. This is where the series rather brilliantly found its footing and Marvel kicked all the naysayers in the head with a great twist. S.H.I.E.L.D. has been destroyed because HYDRA has infiltrated it. Allies are actually enemies, and that’s no different when one of the most bland characters of the team turns out to be a traitor.
The second half of the season filled with one great episode after another – kicking into the rich, layered mythology that the movies showcase. If only this revelation happened early, which has made many people wonder if the series should have been a 13-episode mid-season replacement so it could have started strong and stayed strong.
Many Joss Whedon alums pop up throughout Season 1 including ANGEL‘s Amy Acker as the mysterious Cellist referred to in the IRON MAN movies (she’s Coulson’s lady love) and ANGEL’S J. August Richards who eventually becomes Deathlok.
More should have been done with Coulson and the explanation as to why he survived, but the pay-off later in the season is ample enough to make it worth the wait.
The Special Features include behind the scenes featurettes, commentary, gag reel and deleted scenes
I wish I could say the whole series was worth watching, but the good part about the First Season set is you can skip ahead if you want to the good stuff since you won’t be missing much in the process.
Plus, Marvel has faithfully adhered to events happening in the movie universe as it pertains to the TV show (something DC has decided not to do with it’s JUSTICE LEAGUE movies and its successful CW series ARROW and THE FLASH). The good news is THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON is upon us on May 1, which allows for Season 2 of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. to pay-off events in that film as well.
Never has the theatrical experience tied in so directly to the TV universe in this way. And if the latter half of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. is any indication, Season 2 could very well blow it out of the water (and so far it has). With the potential for clearer focus and a more streamlined storyline (the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are now fugitives and still working toward a greater goal), the show that shed fans very quickly could soon have loyal viewers coming back in droves.

Government measures to reduce the liability of the state for supporting people in their retirement are being managed separately, without adequate consideration of their combined impact on the overall objective of increasing retirement incomes. According to a report today by the National Audit Office, there is no overarching programme or single accountability for encouraging people to save for retirement.
The Treasury leads on overall savings strategy, and DWP on workplace saving but, without a whole system view, the NAO believes there is a risk that individual, but co-dependent interventions may not be effective in increasing saving for retirement.
Today’s report highlights the significant consequences for the taxpayer as people live longer and spend longer in retirement and have increasing social and healthcare needs. Spending on the state pension and pensioner benefits increased from 5.5 per cent of GDP in 1990 to 6.9 per cent in 2011-12, in part because of the growing pensioner population, but also because of increased spending per capita on pensioner benefits. The Government expects to reduce the potential long-term spending liability by increasing the future state pension age, introducing automatic enrolment into workplace pensions and changing the state pension.
The NAO finds, however, that the existing initiatives to manage this problem face challenges. Government is working to change employers’ attitudes towards older workers and has broken down some of the barriers to a longer working life by abolishing the default retirement age, but it does not have a formal published strategy to influence employers.
The success of encouraging saving for retirement through automatic enrolment into a pension, which began in October 2012, also depends on the responses of individuals, pension providers and employers – in particular on the proportion of employees who remain with the schemes.
The value of the UK state pension, as a proportion of pre-retirement earnings, has historically been low compared to other developed countries, and projections for future spending on state pensions and pensioner benefits as a share of GDP may prove too optimistic. The long-term costs for government remain highly uncertain. The actual residual liability on the state created by lack of saving for retirement is not known and will be determined by such factors as trends in healthy life expectancy, inflation, GDP growth, investment returns, migration and house ownership and the outcomes of measures to increase saving and extend working.

Knives, in general, are used for self-defense, outdoors, and even as utensils; but the fantasy knives are for those knife buffs and movie & games fanatics who see a work of art in a form of fiction. Knives featured in the movies like Van Helsing or games like zelda swords are forged from damascus steel to stainless steel, all very good for LARP or display. Inspired by the games, movies, tales, book and more, these fantasy knives represent medieval styles, imparting full concepts of the fantasy world.

[Vwdiesel] Rising gas & diesel prices
area31 Research Facility
stephensrw at stn.net
Thu May 4 00:22:30 EDT 2006
The wholesale price of Canola was about $1.15 or $1.25 per litre in Ontario
when I checked last fall. That will only look like a bargoon when diesel
fuel goes appreciably higher and that assumes vegetable oils won't follow.
I guess you are using used veggy oil and that is great for those few of us
that can get a supply of the stuff and have the means to deal with it.
I hope to be doing that myself soon.

In the last federal election over 60 per cent ofÊvoting Canadians voted againstÊHarper and his Conservatives.
The way the prime minister seems to be changing our country like a dictator, one would think he had a large majority.
He has reduced the debate on new legislation.Ê
He combines many bills that are unrelated,Êin one large omnibus bill, so that there is no proper
Harper is doing a number of great things for the country as he supposedly reduces the debt.Ê
Like cutting funding forÊour veterans, who Harper acts like they don'tÊneed the country'sÊhelp afterÊwhat they have doneÊfor our freedom and protecting Canadians.Ê Some veterans seem to have to beg for required medical help and disability assistance.
Once again they are neglecting to negotiate with the First Nations leaders, instead will probably ram through Harper's legislation.
Canada now apparentlyÊhas several United Nations sanctions imposed, including for the treatment of our children.
We used to be one of the top rated peace-keeping countries,Êoften used and respected in peace keeping roles, but not since Harper.
Harper breaks treaties and has continually reduced and eliminated regulations, safe guarding and protecting Canadians.
We can bet that evenÊifÊB.C., First Nations and environmentalists all reject the disasters (tar sands pipeline)Êwaiting to happen, Harper will probably approve the pipeline for the sake ofÊhis agreement with China. Will China actually have control over much of our resource industries?
Probably not debated in Parliament either.Ê

Being a band with a unique sound, we knew we needed an innovative promotion strategy to connect with people and to build our fan base. We had to totally operate outside of the box to reach new fans. Collectively we decided that tapping into the “inner child” would be the best way to organically reach more people. This is something that most artists would never consider doing to promote their music.
We innocently started on this mission about a year ago by organizing kickball games during the summer on Sunday afternoons. We found that engaging in friendly competition with our existing fan base – “Hero Nation” – we created a unique bond with the participants. Each week more people came to play kickball and we found that those new friends started connecting with us on social media, coming to our shows and supporting our music endeavors. We were creating bonds with people through fun and those people became die-hard, loyal fans. To continue the build, our brother DJ (drummer) always loved Cookie Monster as a child and decided to purchase the costume to bring a smile to his kids’ faces. Once he owned the costume, he would put it on and ride around in his convertible to bring a smile to the faces of the kids in the neighborhood. He saw that he not only connected with the children but grown-ups were smiling and waving at Cookie Monster as well.
Seeing the reaction DJ received in the Cookie Monster costume, we decided to build on that idea and tap into the inner child of our fans. We invested in our favorite character costumes to create a unique street promotions team for our band. We purchased Sonic, Bugs Bunny, SpongeBob, Mario and a Ninja Turtle costume to create the “Street Heroes” promotions team.
The Street Heroes began hitting the party scene in Atlanta, passing out promotional items for Hero The Band. We found that people genuinely loved these characters and they were happy to take pictures and videos and post them to their social media platforms. People were open to accept our music and connect with us because the Street Heroes reminded them of their childhood and the happy times in their lives.
Now when the Street Heroes hit the party scene, they get into clubs and create positive energy and good vibes with people. This is ultimately what Hero The Band is all about, and what we aim to achieve through our music. We are able to connect with people in ways we never imagined. Creating the Street Heroes promotions team has been a huge success for us as we build our fan base and expand our audience. We found that tapping into the inner child of our audience creates long lasting bonds that become loyal fans, and we’re very proud to create such positive energy.
Hero The Band is composed of four blood-related brothers who want to spread the message of self-love and identity through their music. Their latest album Bleach was released on March 1st, and it’s 16 tracks are dedicated to the notion that relationships are nice, but love can be found in many different ways. You have to love your self before you can love someone else.
To hear more from the band, you can purchase a CD here. If you’re heading to South By Southwest this year, be sure to check out Hero The Band!

The Detroit Red Wings have been the gold standard of hockey competence for about two decades and it sounds like they’ll be locking up two big reasons why they have been at that level for so long. Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports that the organization are expected to wrap up general manager Ken Holland and assistant general manager Jim Nill this summer.
How much do the Detroit Red Wings value having Ken Holland as their general manager? They’re prepared to extend his contract even though he still has one year remaining on it.
Red Wings senior vice president Jimmy Devellano told Booth Newspapers last week that Holland and assistant GM Jim Nill will be signed to extensions after the playoffs.
Devellano said of Holland, “That will all be handled after the season.No doubt about it, he’s a lifer.”
Holland, the Red Wings’ GM since 1997, said he hopes to remain in that capacity for the foreseeable future.
This news might bolster the rumors that Steve Yzerman is looking for a GM job elsewhere, possibly with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Losing an icon and possible budding hockey executive like Yzerman must be uncomfortable, but you cannot blame the Red Wings for sticking with what works. If anything, tonight’s game shows that their old faithful Swedes (Nicklas Lidstrom and Tomas Holmstrom) can still get it done.
You’d be hard pressed to find a better 13-year run for a GM than Holland produced since 1997 in any sport. This summer might be a big one for Detroit since Lidstrom and Holmstrom are free agents, so it’s wise that they’re maintaining their stability as much as possible.

To our knowledge, this systematic review is the first to address the comparative effectiveness of newer diabetes medication classes as monotherapy and in combination therapies for a wide range of clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. The inclusion of additional trials and drug comparisons since the 2007 review did not provide sufficient evidence to definitively support one drug or combination of drugs over another for long-term clinical outcomes of mortality and macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes. When intermediate outcomes were evaluated, most diabetes medications reduced HbA1c levels similarly, by about 1 absolute percentage point (consistent with the 2007 review). Metformin was consistently associated with weight reduction or neutrality compared with most other diabetes medications, which generally increased weight. Overall, medication effects on lipid levels were small to moderate and of uncertain clinical importance. Conclusions on comparative risk for adverse events were clearest for sulfonylureas and meglitinides, which increased the risk for hypoglycemia; for metformin, which was associated with increased gastrointestinal adverse effects; and for thiazolidinediones, which increased risk for heart failure.
Overall, combinations of 2 drugs compared with monotherapy had additive effects, in terms of not only improved glycemic control but also risk for adverse events and weight gain. The comparative benefit of one 2-drug combination over another was not clear. For example, metformin plus a sulfonylurea had efficacy similar to that of metformin plus a thiazolidinedione in reducing HbA1c level and had a lower risk for heart failure, but the risk for hypoglycemia was increased 6-fold.
Although we did not perform a comprehensive review of the addition of insulin to oral medications, we include several clinically relevant comparisons. The addition of premixed insulin to metformin seemed to produce greater reduction in HbA1c level, slightly greater weight gain, and higher risk for hypoglycemia than metformin plus basal insulin.
Two other recent systematic reviews compared add-on treatments with metformin in terms of HbA1c
). One review identified 16 placebo-controlled trials and 11 active-comparator trials of metformin combination therapy and concluded that sulfonylureas plus metformin were superior to thiazolidinediones plus metformin in reducing HbA1c
). In our analyses using direct comparisons, we did not detect a significant difference between these combinations, which was confirmed in a recent network meta-analysis (35
). Our review adds to these recently published reviews by assessing combinations with thiazolidinediones and including more articles and additional meta-analyses.
The American Diabetes Association/European Association for the Study of Diabetes consensus statement has suggested consideration of a GLP-1 receptor agonist as an add-on treatment to metformin if weight gain is a concern (36
), but no explicit recommendations were made regarding DPP-4 inhibitors. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists/American College of Endocrinology consensus algorithm recommends use of a DPP-4 inhibitor as one of several options for either initial monotherapy or second-line therapy and a GLP-1 agonist as one of several options for initial combination therapy with metformin when the HbA1c
level is 7.6% or greater (37
). Overall, we found that the DPP-4 inhibitors improved HbA1c
to a lesser extent than metformin as monotherapy, but when added to metformin they reduced HbA1c
levels without additional risk for hypoglycemia. The GLP-1 agonists were associated with weight loss compared with sulfonylureas. We could not draw firm conclusions about most other comparisons for intermediate outcomes, safety, or long-term effects of GLP-1 agonists or DPP-4 inhibitors because few studies were available per drug comparison, but our findings were consistent with those of other recent systematic reviews (38
In September 2010, the FDA placed restrictions on the use of rosiglitazone through a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy; in part, this will require clinicians to attest to and document that the benefits of the drug outweigh its cardiovascular risks. This decision was made after a federal medical advisory panel concluded that rosiglitazone was associated with myocardial ischemia but voted to keep it on the market (41
). Their conclusion was based on recent observational data (42
) and 2 meta-analyses by Nissen and Wolski (44
), as well as on increased understanding of the pharmacology of rosiglitazone (46
). Other analyses, including the original 2007 review (11
), did not show an elevated risk for myocardial ischemia but had very imprecise point estimates. A notable addition to this update was RECORD, which reported that the combined study groups of rosiglitazone plus metformin and rosiglitazone plus sulfonylurea were noninferior to metformin plus sulfonylurea for the primary end point of hospitalization or death from cardiovascular disease. However, these findings were inconclusive for myocardial infarction, for which a non–statistically significant, slight increase in risk was seen in the 2 combined rosiglitazone (metformin or sulfonylurea plus rosiglitazone) groups (24
). As the FDA acknowledged, RECORD was open-label with a noninferiority design, which may have limited its ability to ascertain the cardiovascular effects of rosiglitazone (49
Our updated review informs the debate about rosiglitazone by providing a comprehensive comparative risk and benefit assessment relative to all other hypoglycemic agents on a wide range of outcomes, not only cardiovascular ischemic risk. We followed a prespecified protocol and engaged a research team that was not invested in either side of the rosiglitazone debate. Overall, other than the risk for heart failure associated with the thiazolidinediones, we found no conclusive evidence of excess ischemic cardiovascular risk associated with rosiglitazone, consistent with the original review. However, the methods for this review differed from those by Nissen and Wolski (44
). We included studies that were done only in people with type 2 diabetes and had active comparators, whereas Nissen and Wolski included studies in people with other chronic diseases as well as placebo-controlled trials (44
). In light of the potential ischemic risk of rosiglitazone and the multiple other available medications to treat diabetes, clinicians will need to determine when the benefits of rosiglitazone outweigh the potential risk for individual patients, in keeping with the FDA’s recommendations.
Our systematic review has limitations. First, because this was an update of a comprehensive review performed 2 years ago, we focused a priori on studies with active-control comparators, which are most relevant for clinical practice. The exclusion of placebo-controlled trials may have implications for the review, including missed rare adverse events. To conclude from an active-control study that one medication is more effective than another requires prior knowledge that the active-control drug has been studied and is known to be more effective than placebo. Because the current review is an update of a review that had included placebo-controlled trials, this was probably true for most drug comparisons (50
). However, this assumption may be less valid for the newer medications saxagliptin, sitagliptin, nateglinide, exenatide, and liraglutide; evidence from other systematic reviews, such as Cochrane reviews, will be helpful in making conclusions about these agents (38
Second, our inclusion criteria required that all studies meet 1 or more of the prespecified comparisons of interest; thus, studies with any number of “background medications” were excluded. Our goal was to avoid contamination with the intervention medications and to clearly identify combinations of medications. This criterion resulted in exclusion of several larger trials (4
), some of which compared HbA1c
-lowering strategies rather than individual medications, and exclusion of some smaller trials and observational studies.
Third, we may have missed some studies and outcomes because our search was limited to English-language articles or because studies selectively reported results. Fourth, limitations of reporting in the included studies limited our ability to combine them in meta-analyses. For example, several studies did not report the significance of reported between-group differences and the measures of dispersion, thereby hindering our efforts to estimate effect size across trials. In addition, some trials underdosed comparison medications, limiting our ability to draw conclusions about efficacy.
Fifth, many included trials were industry-sponsored, raising the possibility of publication bias and other forms of bias, such as selective reporting of outcomes. Although we generally did not find publication bias, the tests had limited power to detect this owing to the small number of studies for many comparisons. Finally, most included studies were small and short with limited ability to detect clinically important harms and benefits most important to patients.
This updated comprehensive systematic review confirms the finding from the 2007 review that metformin, both as monotherapy and in combination with other medications, has the highest benefit–risk profile in most comparisons. Overall, we could not draw firm conclusions about the safety and long-term clinical outcomes of the newest agents, the DPP-4 inhibitors and the GLP-1 agonists, because studies were short-term and had few common comparators. Most 2-drug combinations had similar effects on glycemic control, but some combinations had lower comparative risk for hypoglycemia, weight gain, congestive heart failure, and fractures, which may affect the choice of a second agent. The comprehensiveness of this review allowed us to identify deficiencies in the published literature: most important, the need for future research to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes in higher risk sub-populations, such as different ethnic groups; older adults; and patients with underlying comorbid conditions, who may also have higher event rates.
