Arsenal have agreed a £72m fee toLille winger.
The same story says that the north London side have appeared to have trumped Italian side Napoli to the signing of the attacker by offering superior terms.
According to the article, Arsenal are willing to pay Pepe £4.5m a year, which is more than Napoli were prepared to offer the forward.
The same story says that signing Pepe has become more financially viable for Arsenal than Wilfied Zaha, because Lille are prepared to receive more of the fee in instalments.
The attacking midfielder was in top form for Lille last season, scoring 22 goals and making 11 assists in Ligue 1 for the French club.
Arsenal are looking to assemble a squad capable of helping themThey confirmed the signings ofd last week.


There are so many beauty treatments around today and many of them are just plain crazy. I guess there are so many bizarre beauty treatments coming up because we women are going crazier by the day. Many of us are willingly to try anything to look good or that promises some beauty benefits, and that is the reason why these bizarre beauty treatments keep coming up.
Yes you read that right. I was quite shocked to discover such a beauty treatment existed. Why would anyone want to bleach that part of the body? No one sees it so why would anyone want it bleached? Well there are people who want theirs bleached. There is even an Anal Bleaching Guide on how to go about the treatment, what creams to use and how they work, and why it has become so popular in 2016.
So if you ever thought of having that part of your body bleached, it is possible but weird!
This is even more crazy! This facial uses purified bird’s pooours. This bird’s poo procedure works by breaking down dead cells and cleansing the skin. It is known for leaving the skin cleaner, brighter and more radiant.
This is another dead weird beauty treatment. For this treatment, you get soaked in a tub of red wine to ferment your body. It is popular for reversing sun damage and firming the skin.
These are just a few of the crazy beauty treatments around today. I think the treatments will continue to become more crazy as our thirst for beauty perfection continues.
What do you think? Have you heard of these beauty treatments before? Which is the craziest of the 3?.


MahleGroup has rert. In the future, all international activities in this field will be coordinated from this location. In Fellbach, also near Stuttgart, a new, ultramodern test bench for electric drives has been commissioned, which is one of very few of its kind in Germany. An e-mobility development center in Suzhou/China is scheduled for completion in December. MAHLE fluid management at the site and work on solutions specifically for the Chinese market.
Mahle sees the use of hydrogen as key when it comes to shaping carbon-neutral mobility—both in fuel cell technology and in the combustion engine. Through policy initiatives and a highly diverse range of collaboration agreements in the industrial sector, the group is working hard to accelerate the establishment of these technologies. At Mahlehydrogen are pooled in a project house.
Mahle's, Dr. Martin Berger, has presented a current project involving a 'type IV hydrogen tank.' The design consists of a liner made of plastic and an outer casing made of carbon fiber. Mahle is working on ttank that it says will increase its hydrogen storage density and make it cheaper at the same time. The group is also installing hydrogen infrastructure to test fuel cells and hydrogen-powered combustion engines.

Intermittent Explosive Disorder is a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme fits of rage and uncontrollable aggression which are usually disproportionate to the situation. The aggression is not premeditated and the provocation is usually perceived by others in most cases. People with such disorders tend to break objects, throw things, and attack people at hand. People suffering from this disorder usually feel remorse and guilt for their actions once they have committed the actions, and they may feel regret and face constant distress because of their condition.
Explosive assaults and “fits” of rage usually last for a period of 30 minutes before the person comes back to senses. These episodes of rage may occur over a period of weeks, even months. In most cases, these fits have no real underlying reason for their occurrence and may remain untreated for a very long time. It may also become difficult to diagnose minor explosive disorders because it is “normal” for people to get angry at times. Some other behavioral disorders areObsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, etc.
Depression, fatigue or relief may occur after the episode
Tension, mood changes, energy changes
While the exact causes of this disorder are unknown, like most behavioral disorders, it is attributed to different environmental and biological factors.
Environmental factors play a major role in shaping a person’s personality, and a negative environment (like a war zone) or a disturbed childhood can quickly make a person explosive in nature. Children who have been subject to physical and verbal abuse usually grow up to be patients of this disorder. Such people are also susceptible to domestic violence and usually have a whimsical behavior.
Genetics also play a vital role in molding a person’s behavioral traits. While children whose parents suffer from this disorder may not really be faced with it, having a genetic history of intermittent explosive behavior does increase one’s chances of acquiring behavioral disorder at a later stage.
All these factors lead to the changes in the serotonin content in the brain. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter responsible for controlling and managing the “mood swings” of a human being and an imbalance of this chemical in the brain can result in frequent mood swings, irritability and aggression, all of which are extreme in those with Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
People with this disorder are at risk of facing physical and psychological long-term consequences. It may impact personal and professional relationships as well as affect overall mood and behavior. Patients of this disrder are exposed to a number of risks including:
Substance abuse: patients tend to take on substance abuse because they usually suffer from distress
Aggression-related accidents: Patients’ actions are not under their control during these fits and they may end up seriously injuring themselves, cause damage to property around them or end up injuring someone in their vicinity
Increased susceptibility to being convicted for crimes
Psychotherapy and medication are the two ways in which one can treat and control the fits from time to time. Breathing exercises and meditation help in controlling the racing heart beats and the fits of momentary rage that patients face. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is one of the most widely administered psychotherapies on patients and it is targeted at controlling inappropriate responses in people before the responses show up.
Patients suffering from acute aggressive explosive disorder may need to take admission in a mental rehab center and undergo a long treatment process to overcome their condition. Such centers are really helpful in providing professional treatment to the patients.


What did you say?A trip to Sacramento!
How do I get the best price on my ticket from DFW to SACDallas to Sacrament
Explore Sacramento!


On my way home from work I passed up through Casnewydd onwards up to the Cwmbrân area when I realised I needed to go and do a bit of basic shopping.
I then left the store with nothing in my trolley not having spent one single penny and went to ASDA where Welsh produce is sold.
An independent Wales could ensure that all supermarkets in Wales sell a percentage of Welsh produce, it is readily available.
The supermarkets are not your favourite place then?
Have you been to Carmarthen lately?
The Saturday market is a "wondrous thing".
Fresh fish, cockles and laver, home-cured hams hanging from the ceiling, dirt covered carrots, glistening cabbages,... mis-shapen apples, local jams and honey, fresh baked bread and cakes, pies and roasted meats, nicks and nacks, second hand books, wooly jumpers and welly boots, shining smiles and the lilt of Welsh bind the market and the people.
A proper market, better than any supermarket it is butt!
Supermarkets, and their absentee owners profit from our indifference, we must surely seek out the farmers and producers, and deal directly with them.
I guess, at the moment, we are very lucky here in the West, that our producers still have a market, allthough the local councillors are suggesting that the market be replaced with a debenhams, a cinema, and a new car park.
Apparently, that will make the town a better place, and we can expect milk from Yorkshire, beef from Ireland and vegetables from America.
Erm...if you want an independent Wales to be in the EU you won't be able to do this. Its, like, against the fundamental idea of a single market...
Supermarkets are best avoided surely? In carbon terms, the Welsh milk and eggs at in supermarkets like ASDA is probably taken to depots in England, perhaps outside Bristol or Manchester, or even the midlands before being redistributed to stores in Wales. Better surely to buy from a local shop that sources produce from a local farmer or farm marketing co-op?


Paul Cornell on ‘Soldier Zero,’ Stan Lee, and Crowdsourcing [Interview] with Paul Cornell to discuss the series,
ComicsAlliance: Paul, one of the things I really enjoyed about the issue was the frank look at Stewart's life as a disabled veteran, including the question of sex -- it carried a certain verisimilitude that's refreshing in a sea of after-school special takes. Was this a situation where, like with Faiza Hussain in "Captain Britain," you engaged in some crowdsourcing to make this feel correct? How did that go?
Paul Cornell: Thanks very much. Yes, I talked to some wheelchair users. I learned such a lot. The abuse in the street: couple of times a week. The signs saying "no wheelchairs": real. You'd be amazed. A lot of it comes down to many well-meaning individuals together creating organizational prejudices. It's incredible how much is done for wheelchair users without anyone asking them what they want. There's a kind of deep-rooted denial of personhood happening there. The world, as someone said to me, is the problem, not the chair. I wouldn't dream of saying we've succeeded in presenting that situation, but we're trying.
CA: One of the major marketing points for the book has been Stan Lee's participation in the project's inception. How much coordination occurred with him? Where does his idea end and your execution begin? Is he continuing to play a role in the series and universe as it evolves?
PC: He gave us the initial character and set up, and then came back in to revise that, and to edit the issues after I'd started writing. Loads of dialogue and choices in the first issue are his. He hasn't just waved a hand and declared it okay; he's involved on a daily basis.
CA: You're setting up a new, cohesive superhero universe here, alongside "The Traveler" by Mark Waid and Chad Hardin and "Starborn" by Chris Roberson and Khary Randolph. How much interconnectedness should we expect? Are the three titles just going to share the same backdrop, or can we expect crossovers in the future?
PC: Initially the books stand alone, very much so. But I've just dropped my first reference to our wider universe, and it'll become clear as we go that they all take place in the same world. So you can absolutely just buy one book for the story.
CA: What's it like working with Javier Pina? Are you working full-script or, inspired by Stan, more in the Marvel Method?
PC: No, full script. Javier's given the book an open, big, superhero look which has influenced how I've written it.
CA: How's working on this compared to your work at Marvel and DC? Are you finding you have more freedom to take the story in new directions? Is this your only exclusion from your DC contract, or could we see more BOOM! work from you, maybe in this universe?
PC: This is my only exception from the exclusive. Every company has its own flavour, but the differences are quite subtle. Here what we do is very much down to what Stan wants us to do. That's what we signed up for, after all.
CA: In the first issue, you alluded to Stewart speaking out at anti-war rallies. Will this book contain a political component or will it focus more on spacefaring action/adventure? Or will the two be metaphorically related?
PC: The metaphor is the thing. The first arc is basically one night of an enormous battle, which shows off the town, the supporting cast, and the problems Stewart has meshing his pacifist conscience with a ruthless warrior. Stan's characters always have a conflict inside them, and that's what tells the story amongst the action.
CA: Thanks a lot for your time, Paul!

On Palm Sunday, April 9, 2017 members and guests of Holy Spirit Verona celebrated with a Palm Procession, a Children's Eucharist, blessed the food donated during our Lenten Food Drive, and concluded with the reading of The Passion. It was a worship that began in pageantry and ended in tragedy.


State officials today drew attention to new guidance from the Consumer Protect Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding children’s jewelry that may contain high concentrations of lead and urged parents to use caution when purchasing items.
CPSC has announced a new policy addressing lead in children’s metal jewelry after two incidences around the country led to recalls of products. Details can be found at www.cpsc.gov or by calling the Consumer Hotline at |||PHONE_NUMBER||| .
In February 2006, a Minnesota child died from brain swelling due to lead poisoning after having eaten a heart-shaped charm from a bracelet included in a box of Reebok shoes. Reebok and CPSC have begun a voluntary recall of the bracelets that have been distributed all over the U.S. in the packaging with Reebok shoes.
In 2004, a child in Oregon became severely lead-poisoned after consuming a necklace with a high lead content. At that time, the CPSC recalled 150 million pieces of metallic toy jewelry sold all over the country in vending machines and other outlets.
While d remains the most common U.S. source of lead exposure, ingesting lead-containing items is becoming more common as a source of life-threatening lead poisoning.

A Live Balance Designer working on Apex Legends has explained the difficulties of balancing the game’s characters, revealing how Respawn interprets and implements data while ensuring the BR remains fun.
Since its launch back in 2019, Apex Legends’ character pool has been gradually expanding as new Legends are added every season. While new characters shake up the game’s meta in exciting new ways, it does mean balancing becomes more complex.
New characters can counter existing ones, or have their weaknesses exposed by the characters already in the game. However, any adjustments can have knock-on effects for future characters, meaning Respawn have to get their balancing right.
While addressing Wattson, a Legend who many believe needs a buff but Respawn have said otherwise, Respawn’s Live Balance Designer John Larson explained the complexities of making adjustments and how interpreting the data can be incredibly challenging.
Wattson was released in Season 2 of Apex Legends, but has been a hot topic in Season 9.
He went on to explain that ability changes generally affect better players, while hitbox and general damage adjustments have broader impacts.
That is why, following the removal of Low Profile, Wattson is incredibly high in terms of win-rates, despite her mediocre abilities.
Larson finished by stating that they are still looking at Wattson changes, despite her obviously high win rate and buff off the back of Low Profile’s removal.
It goes to show the level of thought that goes into Legend balancing, and how different skill levels see huge variation in characters’ viability.
We will of course update you of any balancing changes if and when they come. When they do, though, rest assured that Respawn will have considered nearly every outcome.

the number of men working in nursing is definitely increasing worldwide, but it is definitely not anywhere near being equal. Only 1% of the nursing workforce in China is male, the 1% that work in the industry is often subject to ridicule and harassment. This is likely the same in other countries as well. It’s a shame that this still happens, the nursing profession is one of nobility and care, something that isn’t related to a specific gender.
There’s clearly a shift towards a more equal nursing workforce, and though it might never be completely equal, at least the industry is making progress. By 2017 it is likely that the number of female doctors will outnumber male doctors, especially as 57% of all student doctors are female. There’s clearly been a change in attitudes towards the professions that both men and women can pursue. It’s about time the media and outdated opinions caught up with the reality of the situation - men are turning to nursing, and they aren’t “male nurses”, they are simply nurses.


The route started with a lung-busting uphill section that slowed the best of us right down. After a short recovery period and a long, sweeping section through fields and around the edge of the trees it was into the woodland and along a beautiful tree lined path that wound gradually up and down hills and into the grounds of Wimpole Hall Estate. A few kilometers through the grounds and the finish line was in sight. Spectators lined the finishing stretch and gave the runners energy to sprint the last 100m!
One runner who had never before run a 10k and was doubtful to whether they would be able to complete the course, said after finishing, "It was really hard work, especially in the heat and up the hills, but I did it, got my first running medal and really enjoyed the pint of beer and pub meal afterwards!I'm thinking of running another race soon and I really did enjoy the social aspect of sharing the feeling of achievement with all the other people who ran too."

"I think I'm most proud of the extent to which everyone bought in," TBT founder Jonathan Mugar said before the game. "We had 400 people reporting, following health and safety protocols. If just one of them just didn't buy in once they got on site, wear a mask, it would have fallen apart, and we would [not] have gotten to the point tonight where we crown a champion."

Some specific examples below the folds….
In fact, the idea of involving the courts every time that a government action lowers or increases the value of property is antithetical to the idea of leaving things to the market. If this approach were applied literally, the courts would be involved in almost any action the government took. When the government builds a highway in one area, it may increase property value for nearby land, but it reduces property values in other towns that might have hoped to be the site for the highway. Even reducing crime in one neighborhood, by having the effect of making other areas relatively more crime prone (if the crime rate in one neighborhood falls, and it stays constant in other neighborhoods, then the other neighborhoods have seen a rise in their relative crime rate) can be for some people. Taken to an extreme, the takings doctrine is not a free market doctrine. It would have the courts deciding almost everything.


ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York parks and environmental conservation staff are leading hikes on public lands to kick off the new year.
The eighth annual “First Day Hikes” program is taking place across the country on Tuesday. In New York, hikes are being led at 51 state parks and historic sites and 19 DEC wildlife areas, trails and educational centers. They include a snowshoe waterfall hike, a canal towpath walk, a history tour and mountain trails.
Some of the hikes require pre-registration. Information on registration is posted on the websites along with details of the trips.

Paul’s music mixes the hard-driving boogie of the Allman Brothers with the soulful wit of John Hiatt.” The Freight also describes his latest album as a “feel-good tour de force.” Tickets $23 in advance, $25 on the door, Saturday, Jan. usic previews: Bryan Bowman / Rupa and the April Fishes

Although Halikiada is now technically mixed, it remains primarily a nudist beach.

Q: Type for a function pointer that will be used in boost::bind I'm doing a messaging library around websocket++ library. This library allows me to set my own functions for manage the messages. As I am not doing the final application that will use my code I need to allow also to my users to set their desired functions for this handlers.
This is how it works now. Somewhere there is the socket(m_client) class that has his set_handler function that is used like the following snippet.
m_client.set_message_handler(bind(&myFunction,&m_client,_1,_2));
what i would like to do is provide a function that will take as parameter &myFunction so the user just call like:
my_class.set_msg_handler(&myFunction);
and then this will be the declaration:
void set_msg_handler(<type> myfunction){
    m_client.set_message_handler(bind(myFunction,&m_client,_1,_2));
But I could not make clear which is the correct type for myfunction in order to make it compile. Or if even this is a good approach to archive this. I went through boost code to see if i could get some hint... but as it ends working with templates, thats something that i don't manage yet.
I know it could be simpler to make the user itself do the bind and pass down its output, but m_client is not accessible directly and i would like to keep that way for encapsulation proposes. And I imagine that is not strictly necessary now, maybe some day I will need it anyway. So in the propose of learning i decided to ask it any way.
I'm quite new at C++ for this level of usage and the whole function pointers and handlers and templates scape a little to my actual understanding. I read about bind usage but all the examples consist on declaring a function and then using bind directly.
Also searched for a similar question, but didn't found it if it exist. And I will not discard that my approach is not the best or completely wrong, so all advises and recommendations will be welcome.
A: boost is using template
void set_msg_handler(T myfunction){
But if you want to force the user to give some kind of function you can check for templates specializations.
But bind will accept almost any kind of pointers.
A: OK, finally I make it work as I was expecting. The solution was pretty simple, just a problem about my experience in c++.
First of all on the header of the class that will be performing the final bind I had declared a type declaring a function pointer with the structure that a message_handler must have. It will be easy to define the wrapper methods in oder classes:
typedef void (*msg_handler_ptr)(client*,connection_hdl,message_ptr);
It took me time to get the correct declaration... Once done, I have declared in the corresponding class the function that will be performint the binding:
 void set_msg_handler(msg_handler_ptr myfunction){
    using websocketpp::lib::bind;
    m_client.set_message_handler(bind(myfunction,&m_client,::_1,::_2));
Last the wrapper for that on my controller class:
#include "mysocket_class.h"
void mycontroller::set_msg_handler(msg_handler_ptr myfunction)
    c.set_msg_handler(myfunction);
And wherever I want I declare my real msg_handler that to be very simple it will only send to standard output what it recieves:
void on_message(client* c, websocketpp::connection_hdl hdl, message_ptr msg)
    std::cout << "Recived " << msg->get_payload() << std::endl;
    mycontroller c();
    c.set_msg_handler(&on_message);
And that's how you pseems. And i have my app up an running.
Thanks you all for your hints!

Ottawa, ON, May 10, 2020year marks the fiftieth anniversary of National Police Week, and over the decades, community relations have remained an essential component of public safety. Many police services continue to strive to be more representative of their communities, to be more responsive to their needs, demands and expectations, and to evolve with the communityThe aim is to demonstrate to Canadians the diversity of police work in Canada. In addition to front-line members, who are often the most visible, there are many sworn and civilian professionals with specialized skills, who work behind-the-scenes to contribute to community safety.
During this public awareness campaign, participating police services will feature the front-line teamsncies.
“Canadians know that when they need help and call 9-1-1 during a time of distress or crisis, a police officer will respond. Police week offers an opportunity to connect with police outside of emergency situations and allows different police agencies to showcase how they work to keep the public safe,” said Chief Constable Adam Palmer.

While we were sleeping, all of the “serious” media was co-opted by those with an agenda against that of the common good. Ironically, the humorists are now painting the only realistic picture left, and most of the “real” journalists are part of the soulless charade. This spectacle of blithering partisan nothingness sickens me to my very core.

product of some large behemoth studio. But an entire ecosystem of small businesses is involved in getting that popular hit film onto movie screens.
A recent New York Times article by Nick Madigan points out:
The number of these small independent contractors has risen as some large Hollywood studios have closed costume, special effects and other departments.”
Counterfeit films have become a huge organized business worldwide. The cost to legitimate businesses is significant.
For instance, in the United States audiovisual piracy is estimated to have cost legitimate businesses at least $1.2 Billion (USD) between 1998 and 2002 — not counting Internet piracy and theft of TV signals.
It’s a growing problem that is only getting worse as technology makes it easier to copy and quickly distribute video.
mers. “R”
Increasingly we see the trend in many industries toward an ecosystem of small businesses that depend on large businesses, and vice versa. Each supports the other’s existence. So when something threatens the large players in an industry, often under the surface is a network of small businesses who are also threatened. That’s the case with the film industry and piracy. </s> Doctors are concerned that if people start gluing their own cuts, the wound won't get adequate care and can cause infection. Super glue should never be used on a deep cut because it seals the outside of the wound. It will hold the surface skin together, but leave a gaping space underneath. That's not in your best interest if you have cut a little bit of muscle, tendon, ligament, or nerve. This has been told to many patients by the doctor I work for.Once a wound has been open for a few hours, you've got to leave it open or risk sealing an infection inside. Aside from the chemicals that are used to make superglue that in itself can cause infection on an open wound.
You have to remember that the internet is the internet and everything you read might not be exactly helpful or true. You need to watch for redness and swelling, a sign of infection also any fever or nausea as well would all be signs to seek medical care. Remember if it is a deep enough cut to warrent the thought of putting superglue on it, it is sign enough that you need to seek medical care for it.
I would put some hydrogen peroxide on it to clean it thoroughly, and if it continues to bleed seek medical care. You don't want that to cause further infection so make sure the superglue does not stay on it. It takes alcohol to help remove it and it will burn but better than a chance of infection. Especially one trapped inside a cut. I hope this information will help youCherrFloors Garage | Floors Mats | Floors Tiles | Barefoot Flooring | Black Market Carpet

This article is about the cane that belonged to Conner and Sly Cooper. For an overview of all canes, see cane.
The famous C-shaped hook has been part of many weapons from the Cooper family line. Sly's cane and other Cooper canes have the ability to open the Cooper Vault. This cane had originally belonged to his father, before the latter was murdered by the Fiendish Five. Sly has had it in his possession ever since.
Towards a robo-falcon stole the cane from Sly, who later retrieved it with help from Carmelita, who had just formed a temporary truce with Sly in order to defeat Clockwerk.
The cane serves as multipurpose tool that allows Sly to pick pockets, lock-pick, swing from hooks, latch onto and launch from wall hooks, and strike enemies. Although it has a sharp point, the cane still acts efficiently as a blunt weapon. It can be charged up for a powerful melee strike and upgraded with gadgets bought from ThiefNet. Such gadgets include a smoke bomb and other powerful stealth attacks. Bentley once upgraded the cane in Sly 2: Band of Thieves to be able to split into two separate canes so that Sly could climb difficult ice walls in Jean Bison's lumber camp.
In The Adventures of Sly Cooper Issue 2, Sly sneaks his cane into Heathrow Penitentiary by disguising it as a prison guard stick. Later in the comic, he extends the hook to pick a lock. The cane has only done this in the comic.
When developing Sly's weapon, Sucker Punch put a question mark as a temporary placeholder. However, the developers realized that it "kinda looked cool," and the question mark was similar to a "C" for Cooper, so they kept the general shape.
In April 2012, Scott Rohde (and Sony Computer Entertainment America) posted a picture of a replica of Sly's cane on Twitter. This picture led many fans to believe that a Collector's Edition of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, or this very replica itself, would become available. Neither turned out to be true; the replica does exist, but it is not available for purchase.
The canegames.
As seen in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.
Sly's Cane in Infamous 2.
In Sly 2, the color trail that appears when Sly swings his cane will change color depending on what area he is in. It is unknown as to why this happens, as every other game in the series uses a yellow color trail when his cane is swung.
During "The Black Chateau," "Anatomy for Disaster" or while in some indoor areas with dark ambiance, his cane will leave a white color trail.
During "A Starry Eyed Encounter," his cane will leave a purple color trail.
During "The Predator Awakes," his cane will leave a green color trail.
During A Shadow from the Past, "Jailbreak," "A Tangled Web," "He Who Tames the Iron Horse," "Menace from the North, eh!" or while in some indoor areas, his cane will leave a yellow color trail, similarly to other games in the series.
Infamous 2 has DLC to visually replace Cole MacGrath's amp with Sly's cane. This has been paralleled in Thieves in Time, where Sly's cane can be replaced with Cole's Amp.
It can also be replaced with Ratchet's Wrench from Ratchet and Clank%27s_cane?oldid=137103"


Baldwin School Superintendent Paul Dorathy received a pleasant surprise recently as he worked to prepare the district’s 2012-2013 budget.
Dorathy said revised figures from the Douglas County Appraiser’s Office indicate the district’s total valuation increased “slightly.” When the appraiser first shared valuation numbers in mid-February developed from its annual countywide reappraisal, they showed the district had a small decrease in its overall valuation. Had that not changed, it would have put upward pressure on the district’s overall mill levy because a mill of taxing authority would have produced less revenue for the district than it did in 2011-2012.
The Kansas Legislature also made the budget process easier when, in the 2012, session it increased per pupil base aid to school districts from $3780 to $3838, Dorathy said.
“It’s gone pretty smoothly this year,” the superintendent said of budget preparation.
Publication of the budget will be on the school board’s agenda Tuesday, in what will be the board’s first meeting of s, 708 Chapel St.
The published budget will set maximum expenditure levels for the final budget the board will approve in August. That means the board can cut spending from the amount in the published budget but can only spend more money with publication of a revised budget.
The budget process will reintroduce two controversial transportation issues to the board: Last year’s proposal to end bus service within the city limits of Baldwin City and the placement of video monitoring cameras on buses.
After much debate last year, the board rejected a proposal to end bus service in the city. At that time, the board agreed it would reconsider the proposal during the 2012-2013 budget process.
“Where that goes at this point, I don’t know,” Dorathy said.
The board once again could decide to leave the current policy unchanged, modify routes so that buses pick up students at selected collection points or require those students living within 2.5 miles of their schools to pay a fee, Dorathy said.
State law requires districts to provide bus service to students living more than 2.5 miles from school and reimburses districts to do so. It also allows districts to charge other students.
Also last year, the board rejected a proposal that would have installed video cameras on buses to monitor student behavior. In May, board members Bill Busby, Chad Christie, Nick Harris, Ande Parks and Tony Wedel said they were ready to support the cameras while members Ruth Barkley and Sandy Chapman remained opposed. Since then, Wedel has resigned from the board and was replaced by Sheryl Gill.
A capital outlay report shared with board in June pegged the cost of installing cameras at $20,000.
Also on the agenda are items associatedappointment a new board president and vice president.

However, not all were impressed with the implementation. The 12:30 start time – some five hours ahead of the Elite men – and a meager prize list kept both fans and a few big names away. But Kona’s Helen Wyman was undeterred by the early hour and took advantage of the sparse attendance to extend a streak of domination that started with nine wins in the United States with a wire-to-wire victory over fellow Brit Nikki Harris.
She added that the new UCI-mandated opportunities for women to race in Europe served as motivation for the move to this side of the Atlantic.
It was Zdenek Stybar – in his first big test of the season after skipping last week’s race in Kalmthout to rest a knee injury – who took the holeshot. The world champion stormed into the first corner at the head of a 46 man field, but French rider Steve Chainel, perhaps inspired by his wife’s podium finish in the day’s earlier race, quickly came to the front and stretched the field out single file behind him.
Aernouts, meanwhile, said he was happy to finish second in Ruddervoorde for the second year in a row, but believes better results are still on the way.
Like the rest of the elite field, the U23 field was stacked to the gills, featuring CrossVegas winner and Cyclocross Magazineissue 14 Euro superstar, Lars van der Haar. The soft-spoken Dutchmen snatched up third place, following race winner Wietse Bosmans in first and Tijmen Eising in second. Will we see any American U23s leaving their mark in the World Cup arena? Only time will tell, since the racing in Europe is just beginning to ramp up.


As part of the Upper Darby area, Drexel Hill is a casual neighborhood that offers as many familiar mainstays as unique pockets of unseen west Philadelphia. Get to know the area by making sure you’re well aware of all that surrounds you, whether it’s a casual neighborhood ambiance or a world renowned museum right around the corner. Located a few, the area is also an important pillar for local business travelers, making a good night’s rest as easy to find as a local shuttle transfer.
Spend the night somewhere beautiful by keeping what’s most important to you close at heart, whether it’s a vivid dream peeking out your window. Drive into the southern city of Springfield for a slew of casual stays like Days Inn Springfield, which offers rides to the airport, or kick things up by checking into a historic landmark like The Inn at Swarthmore, a popular stay for those visiting Swarthmore College or simply wanting to stay close to the natural escape of Crum Woods.
A good indicator of being in a good place is not only tossing & turning in your sleep out of excitement, but waking up before the sun’s even shown itself. Escape into one of the many surrounding parklands as soon as you step out, starting with the rushing waters at the nearby Morris Park and working your way toward the astonishing Ridley Creek State Park, home to thousands of acres of woodlands, hiking, fishing, and gorgeous views of the sunset. The area is also an oasis for business travelers looking for a quick round of golf, whether it’s at the highly reviewed Llanerch Country Club or the rolling pastures of McCall Golf.


GRAND RAPIDS — Following a two-year preparation process, Crystal Flash has successfully transitioned to a 100-percent employee-owned company.
The Grand Rapids-based fuel distribution company’s roughly 250 employees purchased Crystal Flash in late April from longtime owner and Chairman Tom Fehsenfeld via a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).
ESOPs provide shares to employees in a benefit plan. The shares are held in trust until those workers leave the company.
The transition to an ESOP comes as part of the Fehsenfeld family’s decision to exit the business. While the company considered a number of options as part of its succession planning, the ownership team wanted to put the company in the best position moving forward, said Tom Olive, president of Crystal Flash.
The company hired Olive in May 2015 as part of a “thoughtful, long-term program” by Fehsenfeld to transition the company into its next generation of ownership.
“It both was a way to provide a legacy for the team members that have helped to build the company over the decades, as well as stay focused on delighting our customers,” Olive told MiBiz. “It was a good way for the family to get a fair value in their exit of the company.”
Fehsenfeld will continue to serve as the company’s chairman.
As a leveraged ESOP, Crystal Flash’s employees borrowed an undisclosed sum from Mercantile Bank to purchase the company instead of the owner contributing stocks to the employees, as is the case in a non-leveraged ESOP.
Grand Rapids-based Charter Capital Partners and Warner, Norcross & Judd LLP advised Crystal Flash on the process.
ESOPs have gained steam over the years among family owned businesses preparing for succession as an alternative to selling to a competitor or equity firm, said Michael Harden, senior managing director at Ambrose Advisors. The Riverside, Calif.-based adviser and investment banking firm aided several companies in West Michigan in setting up ESOPs, including Kentwood Office Furniture Inc., Axios Inc. and Haviland Enterprises Inc.
“We’re seeing a lot of popularity (for ESOPs) in places like Grand Rapids that want to keep companies local,” Harden said. “The owners want to do right by themselves but they also don’t want to do anything that negatively harms the employees, which you find most middle-market business owners tend to treat their employees like extended family.”
Nearly 5,500 companies, comprising 1.66 million people and $115 billion in assets, participated in ESOP programs nationwide in 2013, according to an analysis of data from the Department of Labor by the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO).
Approximately 92 percent of those 5,500 ESOP companies are privately held, with 22 percent of the companies being in the manufacturing sector, according to the NCEO data.
Going forward, Crystal Flash plans to continue its strategy of making strategic acquisitions, a strategy the company put on hold during this transition, Olive said.
“We’re very excited to see what things we can do to help build the company,” Olive said. “We’ve had a great 80-plus-year run here and we’re looking forward to figuring out that future together and trying to grow the company and our team members in their retirement.”

"2- effects."
Where did the discovery originate?
"Our ability to 'fix' Ex-4 as a proof of concept could impact obesity and cancer treatment, since we can use our drug system to prevent or modulate central nervous system-mediated side effects. In the case of Ex-4, this [side effect] was chronic nausea."


Now this is a blast from the past! I remember being in sixth grade and wanting to be on the basketball team solely (solely – get it?) for the cool sneakers! Thanks to the designer Isabel Marant, I’m given a second chance to rock the look! Wedge sneakers... a gift from heaven. They elongate your legs and keep your feet comfortable. What’s not to like? Wear them for a shopping date with a buttoned-down shirt and skinny jeans; to a party with a sharp tailored jacket and black leather tights or even to brunch with a contrasting girly skirt! To avoid having your pants bunch up at the ankle, be sure to get them hemmed accordingly.

The Essentials for your Evening Bag
Have you ever gone out with your girlfriends and been asked: “Can I put my ID in your purse? I have no more room in mine.” Yes, we have all been there. I was once an offender myself. That is until I became smart about purchasing cute evening bags that are actually functional.
Here is a picture of my favourite Kate Spade camel clutch, which I received on my 30th birthday.
If your clutch does not fit all your needs, i.e your cash, your ID, your makeup, your cell phone, your keys and some form of candy or breath mint: please buy another bag! ...Now, you might have read “candy” and thought “I don’t need candy in my bag,” oh but you do. We women tend to get hungry at unexpected moments. And when we do, we get complain-y. Be a sport, and start chewing on a piece of gum or pass one along when you see a friend start to fade. Please share this wisdom with all the women in your life!

Have you heard? Yves Saint Laurent is now Saint Laurent Paris. Clearly, they’ve been hanging out with Prince too long. The name change was announced in June. The brand eagerly published a first look at the new logo on facebook and fans were not pleased. “More suitable for fine chocolate than for luxury clothes” commented a follower. “Why would you change something as iconic as the YSL logo,” said another.
I met Vanessa Sicotte a few months after becoming addicted to Damask & Dentelle, one of Québec's leading design blogs, which she launched in 2009. When Vanessa entered the gallery where I work, she whipped out her iPhone and said “Let me tweet that I’m here!” It was love at first tweet.
Vanessa Sicotte, creator of Damask & Dentelle and host of Sauvez les Meubles
Sauvez les Meubles is a new TV show airing since September, on Québec’s Canal Vie. Its concept is adorable (hey I am a little biased)! My mandate is to decorate a room in a couple’s home using their existing vintage furniture, hand-me-downs from family members and thrift finds… all for less than $500. I try to suggest as many cool DIY ideas as I can to give people the most bang for their buck and so far we’ve had some awesome reveals.
Not trusting their instincts and buying everything at once, from the same place. It is better to have a void in the room than to pack it up with things that are just fillers. The perfect piece of furniture will eventually find its way and fill that void as if it belonged there. Also, I often recommend to people to be mindful of the craftsmanship and provenance of the products they buy. Cheap (and I don’t mean inexpensive here) will always be just that… cheap.

Today is also Canadian Thanksgiving – which is why I have a day off to brag about how productive I am. Saturday and Sunday were spent visiting Hubby and I’s families in Quebec City. I say YAY to good wine, good turkey and relaxing family time. On a day like this, I can’t help but write up a short list of all the things I am thankful for… starting with my loving husband who makes me laugh like no other, my family who goes out of its way to support and encourage my every dream, my friends because they are unbelievably awesome… but then, I’m also thankful for living in a beautiful and peaceful country, for having a roof over my head, having the chance/time/money to visit my family regularly, for being healthy, for working in a field I am passionate about… all in all, I’m pretty darn thankful for this beautiful life! I hope your Monday was equally bright and happy!

catholicism virgin-mary messiah
Do you mean before Gabriel spoke to her? – curiousdannii Sep 28 '19 at 5:40
@curiousdannii Yes – Geremia Dec 10 '19 at 16:03
St. Alphonsus of Liguori argues in Glories of Mary p. 484 that she valued her virginity more than being a mother, but she valued doing God's will above all:
*Thought to be "the author of Oratio in natalem Christi (possibly Gregory of Nyssa); PG, 46, 1140", according to Philip J. Donnelly, S.J., S.T.D., on p. 241n59 of his "The Perpetual Virginity of the Mother of God" in Carol, Juniper B., O.F.M.'s Mariology (vol. 2)
Philip J. Donnelly, S.J., argues against this view (ibid. p. 241):
This, however, by no means implies, as some ancient Greek ecclesiastical writers asserted,59 that Mary set her virginity absolutely above the incomparable privilege of her divine maternity, and that she equivalently laid down to God the following condition: "I shall become the Mother of God, only if I may remain a virgin." Such a view is not to Mary's honor; it is in reality a denigration of her sanctity; it minimizes the dignity of matrimony as a divinely instituted and holy manner of life; it leaves out of consideration the supreme dominion of God, who could command any human being to make use of matrimony without any loss of sanctity.60 Rather, Mary was prepared to submit herself completely to the manifest will of God, even to the use of matrimony; she merely wished to be certain that the renunciation of her resolution, made initially under the inspiration of grace would be conformed to God's will; this explains very probably why she used the present (ou gignosko, "since I do not know man" [Lk. 1:34]) rather than the future [tense].61
Appendix 4 of Scheeben's Mariology (vol. 1), pp. 249-252, argues that before St. Gabriel explained how she could be both a mother and a virgin, she thought he was asking her if she would be the mother "of an eminent earthly king", not the mother of God. Certainly, she knew the prophesyn (Is. 7:14), so it's conceivable she didn't yet know he was asking her to be the Mother of God.
In any case, she valued doing God's will the most, and He wanted her to become His Mother.er? Mary seems decided already to sacrifice her virginity, but was relieved when the Angel announced that She will bear a child not in the normal way. So,before annunciation, Her betrhodal is a sign of offering her virginity to fulfill God's Will. Even St.Joseph seems to follow God's Will in letting go of his celibate vocation. – ianjoseph198 Oct 8 '19messiah or ask your own question.
