Stasiukevich v. Nicolls.
v. UNIÓN DE TRABAJADORES DE MUELLES LOCAL 1740, ET AL., Defendants.
OPINION AND ORDER In this labor dispute, Plaintiff International Shipping Agency, Inc. (“Intershi p”), has filed a partial motion for judgment against the defendants Unión de Trabajadores de Muelles– International Longshoreman’s Association Local 1740 (“UTEM” or “Local 1740") and Unión de Empleados de Muelles—Interna tional Longshoreman’s Association Local 1901 (“UDEM” or “Local 1901"). After careful consideration, I deny Intership’s moti on.
1. Preliminary Matters The parties have raised a host of non-merits arguments that must be addressed before proceeding to the heart of the motion for summary judgment. In particular, Intership makes numerous arguments for why the defendants’ summary judgment exhibits and statement of material facts should be struck, and UTEM asks that the proceedings be stayed. I take up these arguments below.
admitted or denied, not the striking of the entire filing as Intership requests.
Intership’s proposed facts as a vehicle for proposing additional facts. Intership correctly points out that, throughout their objections to Intership’s proposed facts, the defendants purport to “quali fy” Intership’s facts. To the extent the defendants have done so, facts stated during such qualifications shall not be deemed admitted; the facts admitted with qualifications will also be deemed admitted. It is thus unnecessary to strike them. To the extent that Intership asks the Court to strike the separately-proposed facts in the defendants’ counterstatement on these grounds, its motion is denied as it conflicts with Local Civil Rule 56(c).
disputes after that date. Now, in their counterstatement of material facts, the defendants, relying on sworn statements signed by their presidents, essentially state that it was common practice to invoke an expired CBA during labor disputes until a new one was signed. See, e.g., Docket No. 131-2, ¶ 24.
According to Intership, these affidavits are shams, which is to say they impermissibly contradict the affiants’ “clear answers to unambiguous questions” given during their depositions. 4–5 (1st Cir. 1994). A sham affidavit may not be used to create an issue of fact at summary judgment unless the discrepancy is well-explained.  n.3 (1st Cir. 2005).
1. It is plain that there is bad blood between the parties and their counsel.
deny Intership’s moti on to strike the affidavits.
Sánchez and Mercado establish that” the CBA was extended as to all unions and that its mechanized-cargo stipulation was extended until December 31, 2012. Docket No. 137, at 5. But neither of the two paragraphs of its statement of uncontested facts that it cites for these propositions rely on Sánchez’ s or Mercado’s deposition testimony.
stricken as unauthenticated. Courts in this district, the undersigned included, have regularly stricken summary judgment evidence not authenti- cated by an affidavit or other means. See, e.g., Vélez-Sepúlveda v. GlaxoSmithKline P .R., Inc., Civ. No. 13-1909(SCC), 2015 WL 4389529, at *2 n.4 (D.P .R. July 15, 2015). Relying principally on a case from the Western District of Michigan, the defendants argue that this practice is incorrect after the 2010 amendments to Rule 56. After reviewing that case and others citing it, I agree with the defendants that the 2010 amendments brought an important change to summary judgment practice in this regard.
Docket No. 126, ¶¶ 71, 73. It is thus irrelevant whether those statements are contradicted by Sánchez’s or M ercado’s affi davits.

Civ. P . .”). As the Foreword court pointed out, moreover, “the objection contemplated by the amended Rule is not that the material ‘has not’ been submitted in admissible form, but that it ‘cann ot’ be.” 2011 WL 5169384, at *2. After 2010, then, there is no longer a “bri ght-line rule,” but, rather, “ a multi-step process by which a proponent may submit evidence, subject to an objection by the opponent and an opportunity to either authenticate the document or propose a method to doing so at trial.” Id. As Foreword points out, the drafters of the amendments apparently intended that an objection be denied based on an explanation of “the admissible form that is anticipated” at trial. Fed. R. Civ. P . 56 (2010 Advisory Committee notes), cited by, Foreword, 2011 WL 5169384, at *2. What would constitute such an explanation goes unsaid, and in Foreword, the proponent defeated the objection by filing authentication affidavits. 2011 WL 5169384, at *2.
L.P . v. Lessard Design, Inc., No. 14-2030, 2015 WL 3854494, at *9 n.4 (4th Cir. June 23, 2015), as amended (June 24, 2015) (suggest- ing that movant’s post-objection submission of authentication affidavits was unnecessary); Gannon Int’l v. Blocker, 684 F.3d 785, 793 (8th Cir. 2012) (“And the standard is not whether the evidence at the summary judgment state would be admissible at trial—i t is whether it could be presented at trial in an admissible form.”). And numerous other district courts have considered non-authenticated evidence after the 2010 amend- ments. See, e.g., Brooks v. Firestone Polymers, LLC, 70 F. Supp. 3d 816, 823 n.3 (E.D. Tex. 2014) (“[I]t appears that the letter could be offered in admissible form . . . .” (emphasis added)); Ridgell v. Astrure, Civ. No. 10-3280, 2012 WL 707008, at *9 (D. Md.

Dep’t of Human Servs., Civ. No. 10-198, 2012 WL 568285, at *3 (S.D. Miss. Feb. 21, 2012). As these cases comport with Rule 56(c)(2)’s plain language, I will follow them.
objection—that the documents are unauthenticated—i s itself improper. Pursuant to Rule 56(c)(2), an objection must state that the movant’s evidence “” at trial. Fed. R. Civ. P . 56(c)(2) (emphasis added). Because Intership makes no argument that the defen- dants’ evidence could not be authenticated, its objection should be denied. See, e.g., Abbott v. Elwood Staffing Servs., Inc., 44 F. Supp. 3d 1125, 1135 (N.D. Ala. 2014) (“[A]n objection cannot be based solely on evidence not being authenticated—the objec- tion must be that evidence cannot be presented in an admissible form . . . .”); Ridgell, 2012 WL 707008, at *9 (denying objection because the party had failed to “actually argue that Defendant cannot produce admissible versions of the same for trial”); Richardson, 2012 WL 568285, at *3 (denying objection because the defendant “commi tted procedural error by failing to make the correct objection”); Tzanetis v. Weinstein & Riley, P .S., Civ. No. 09-413, 2010 WL 3925250, at *2 (D. Conn. Sept. 28, 2010) (- same).
exhibits and explained why each could be presented in an admissible form. See Docket No. 141, at 11– 13. For the most part, they note that the documents to which they cite are already in the record, were stipulated-to at the individual defendants’ depositions, or were within the defendants’ personal knowledge. It would seem, then, that even if Interhsip had not procedurally defaulted, the evidence would be admissible on summary judgment in any case, as there is every reason to think that i.
one) in the affidavits’ signature line. Thus, I will follow the example of the many judges in this circuit that have refused to wholly strike affidavits on these grounds and who have, instead, considered the affidavits to the extent that the stated facts appear based on personal knowledge. See, e.g., Vescom Corp. v. Am. Heartland Adm’r s, Inc., Civ No. 01-146, 2003 WL 21347205, at *1 (D. Me. Jan. 17, 2003) (relying on affidavit “to the extent that any factual assertion would be a matter of [the affiant’s] personal knowledge in his role as [the defendant’ s] CEO”); see also Reid v. Stanley, Civ. No. 04-369, 2006 WL 1875335, at *1 (D.N.H. July 6, 2006) (“[O]nly the segments of the affidavit that meet the Rule 56(e) standard may be credited”); Donovan v. Magnusson, Civ. No. 03-226, 2004 WL 1572598, at *1 (D. Me. June 7, 2004), report and recommendation adopted, 2004 WL 1770158 (D. Me. Aug. 4, 2004); Smith v. Danzig, Civ. No. 00- 216, 2001 WL 823642, at *2 (D. Me. July 20, 2001). Thus, I deny Intership’s general request to strike the affidavits; however, in considering the parties’ statements of facts below, I will only rely on the affidavits to the extent that they state facts that would be within the affiant’s personal knowledge.
preclude the Court from ruling on the motion for summary judgment. Intership sued UDEM and its president, René Mercado. In the complaint, Intership identified UDEM as Local 1901, a union chartered by the ILA. UDEM and Mercado appeared and admitted these facts. Docket No. 34, ¶¶ 5– 6. Sometime later, a dispute arose between the ILA and UDEM: the ILA put UDEM under a trusteeship, and UDEM voted to disaffiliate from the ILA; now, the whole issue is under litigation in a separate case. See Unión de Empleados de Muelles de P .R. Inc. v. Int'l Longshoreman's Ass'n AFL-CIO, Civ. No. 15-1750(FAB) (D.P .R. filed June 3, 2015). The precise identity of UDEM—and who is entitled to speak for it—is thus an open question, one which the defendants in this case have assiduously avoided answering.
judgment, and that summary judgment should be entered against the real Local 1901, which is in apparent default. 3 Docket No. 143, at 1. The Court will not follow this path.
The conflict over Local 1901 certainly presents a wrinkle, but it far from proves some of the wilder accusations included in Intership’s filings. More importantly, the Court cannot take “judi cial notice” of the NLRB’s findings, at least not in a way that makes those findings binding in this case: it is impermissi- ble for a Court to take judicial notice of another tribunal’ s factual findings. Int 1998) (holding that facts adjudicated by a tribunal in a different case cannot be the subject of judicial notice), cited approvingly by,51–52 (1st Cir. 2004); Cruz- Acevedo v. Toledo-Davila, 660 F. Supp. 2d 205, 211 n.6 (D.P .R. 2009) (same); cf.
arguing that it presents a “j urisdictional” bar to the defendants’ reliance on Mercado’s affidavit. This argument is frivolous. Intership sued Mercado. Of course Mercado can present evidence to defend himself. And even if Mercado had not been sued, there would be no “standing” or “j urisdictional” bar to any other party using his affidavit as evidence, so long as it was relevant.
1948) (holding that factual findings in an investigative report are evidence of facts, not a proper subject of judicial notice). 4 The NLRB’s findings could be preclusive on other grounds, but Intership fails to make—much less sufficiently develop—any such argument, and so it is deemed waived.
Thus, it has not been established that the UDEM that appeared in this case is not the real party in interest; to the contrary, that is a live dispute in a separate case. Moreover, the relief that Intership requests—that the Court disregard UDEM’s opposition and hold the “real” Local 1901 in default—i s manifestly unjust. If Intership sued an impostor, and that impostor appeared and opposed Intership’s motions, it is not at all clear why those events should be held against the non-appearing real party.
2, the Court cannot take “j udicial notice” of facts in a complaint in another case.
case involving Intership, Local 1740, and UDEM. See Int’l Shipping Agency Inc. v. Unión de Empleados de Muelles de P .R., Local 1901 ILA, Civ. No. 13-1756(SEC), ECF No. 67 (D.P .R. Aug. 13, 2015). Here, though, Intership “strenuously objects” to a stay. Docket No. 149, at 1. It does so, it says, because the stay was proposed by Local 1740 rather than Local 1901. But in my mind, this fact is beside the point. Instead, I am concerned about the possibility that the UDEM that has appeared is not the “real” UDEM; if that is the case, the “real” party is not represented and is without opportunity to defend itself. Intership suggests that the Court simply order the appearing UDEM to state whether or not it is Local 1901. Unfortunately, the issue is not so simple: it is not even clear that two entities exist, or, if they do, what their nature is. And of course this Court hardly has jurisdiction to decide that dispute if one of those two entities has not appeared here. Reserving the question for the Court in Civ. No. 15-1750 thus seems the most appropriate course.
its counsel—hav e had the opportunity to oppose Intership’s motion; and second, because I decide the motion against Intership. For these reasons, UDEM/Local 1901, whatever its identity, cannot be prejudiced by the Court’s ruling. But because going to trial without first deciding the ILA/UDEM dispute would risk subjecting one of those entities to judgment without representation, I will stay the case effective after the denial of summary judgment.
2. Factual Background Plaintiff Intership is a Puerto Rico corporation engaged in the shipping and transportation business. It provides stevedor- ing services to shipping companies, loading and unloading vessels that import and export goods through San Juan, Puerto Rico.
ILA representing, among others, Intership employees. At all 5 relevant times, Defendant René Mercado was the president of UDEM. For decades UDEM and UTEM have represented Intership’s employees, and the terms and conditions of that relationship have been embodiedded from time to time.
Speaking more specifically, there appear to have been two separate contracts negotiated between the defendant unions and the employers. In these negotiations, the employers, Intership included, were represented by the Puerto Rico Steampship Association’s Bargaining Committee. One contract applied to general cargo, and one applied to mechanized cargo. According to Miguel Ayala-Morera, the Vice-President of Luis Ayala Colón & Scrs. and, in 2012, the head of the Bargaining Committee, when it came to mechanized cargo— which is all Intership handled— the parties negotiated stipulations covering specific conditions, and everything not covered by a specific stipulation was covered by the general cargo contract.
before Judge Besosa; UDEM claims to have disaffiliated from the ILA, while the ILA has purported to place UDEM in trusteeship. See Unión de Empleados de Muelles de P.R. Inc. v. Int’l Longshoreman’s Ass’n AFL- CIO, Civ. No. 15-1750(FAB) (D.P.R. filed June 3, 2015).
It was in the 2004–2010 Mechanized Cargo Stipulation that the parties included no-strike and arbitration clauses; these clauses had been in effect since the signing of a 2001 agree- ment, which was incorporated into the 2004–2010 Mechanized Cargo Stipulation. It is undisputed that the 2004–2010 Stipulat- 6 ion, including its no-strike and arbitration clauses, was extended beyond 2010, and that these extensions applied to all 7 the unions; as I explain below, however, there is a dispute 8 regarding just when these extensions expired. The general agreement, however, expired on September 30, 2013.
citing the record. See Docket No. 131-1, ¶ 72. The fact is deemed admitted.
It is agreed that the Mechanized Cargo Stipulation was extended at least five times, including a written extension until January 31, 2012. After January 2012, various drafts of a 9 written extension were circulated, but none were apparently signed. According to Intership, there was also a verbal 10 extension that was effective through at least October 2012; this fact is disputed by the defendants.
that the” Mechanized Cargo Stipulation “expi red on January 2012.” Docket No. 131-1, ¶ II.10. For this, they rely on an undated declaration (bearing a marginally-legible “re ceived” stamp with the date March 16, 2012) purporting to stipulate to that fact, but also extend certain agreements until May 31, 2012. Docket No. 131-14. The proposed fact is deemed denied, however, because it is unsigned by any representative of the Asociación. Id.

Sánchez, Mercado, and the defendant unions.
has stated that the CBA required a meeting before disciplinary action could be taken. This is an exhaustion requirement, which Mercado says must generally be complied with before petitioning for arbitration. According to Mercado, to apply for arbitration, the petitioner fills out and submits a document to Puerto Rico’s Department of Labor. This form asks whether the petitioner has complied with CBA’s exhaustion requirements, and if the petitioner has not, the employer can argue that the dispute is not arbitrable.
CBA that covered the period of October 1, 2007, until September 13, 2013. Docket No. 126, ¶ 65. But as the defendants point out, the court in that case permitted them to withdraw that allegation. Unión de Empleados de Muelles de P.R., AFL-CIO, Local 1901, ILA v. Int’l Shipping Agency, Civ. No. 12-1920(FAB), ECF No. 20 (D.P.R. Jan. 14, 2013) (permitting filing of amended verified complaint). Neither Mercado nor UDEM can, then, fairly be held to that allegation.
violated was a no-strike provision that it says was still in operation as of the October 26, 2012, work-stoppage. The question, then, is whether it is established for summary judgment purposes that the no-strike provision was in effect in October 2012.
There is no signed document in the record demonstrating that the no-strike provision, which had been included in the 2004–2010 Mechanized Cargo Stipulation, was extended until October 2012. To the contrary, the last written document in the record only extended that clause’s effect until January 31, 2012. According to Intership, though, an oral agreement extended the clause still further, including through October 2012. See, e.g., Docket No. 128-10, ¶ 9 (statement under penalty of perjury of Miguel Ayala-Morera). The defendants, meanwhile, have signed statements swearing that the clauses were not extended beyond January 31, 2012, the last date covered by the written extension. Plainly, then, the summary judgment record reveals a factual dispute concerning whether the no-strike provision was in effect on October 26, 2012. Summary judgment would thus seem to be improper, because the defendant labor unions cannot be liable for violating a clause not in effect at the time of the supposed violation.
Notwithstanding this straightforward reasoning, Intership maintains that the Court should deem the no-strike provision in effect as of October 2012 on the basis of “eviden tiary and judicial admissions” made by the defendants. See, e.g., Docket No. 125, at 7. It is not clear what “evidenti ary” admissions the defendants are meant to have made; certainly, Intership has failed to cite to any instance— in this case or elsewhere—in which the defendants have admitted that the no-strike provi- sion was extended to October 2012. Rather, Intership points to numerous occasions in other proceedings in which the unions have invoked the CBA in relation to the October 26, 2012, work stoppage. According to Intership, these statements amount to admissions that the no-strike provision was in effect because “the n o-strike promise is the quid pro quo for the agreement to submit grievances to arbitration.” Docket No. 125, at 6 (citing)). Intership thus asks the Court to find that the unions’ invocation of the CBA’s grievance procedures necessarily implies the existence of a no-strike provision.
adverts to principles of judicial estoppel. Docket No. 125, at 9–10 . But even if Intership’s argument were considered, it would fail. At a minimum, “two h”: first, the two positions taken by the party must be “di rectly inconsistent, that is, mutually exclusive”; and second, “n.”–3 3 (1st Cir. 2004). As I explain below, however, it is not at all clear that the unions’ positions are mutually exclusive; perhaps more importantly, Intership fails to point to evidence that the unions won on this point in another forum. Judicial estoppel is therefore inapplicable.
by their admissions under” Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(2). Docket No. 125, at 9. Rule 801(d)(2) stands for the hoary proposition that prior statements of party-opponents are not hearsay. As Intership’s counsel must know, this provision makes the unions’ representatives’ prior statements admissible, not incontrovertible fact.
that Internship tries to draw between invocation of the CBA and the existence of a no-strike clause is even appropriate, much less mandatory. An invocation is not necessarily an admission that the CBA—much less its specific clauses—i s in effect, even if it is probative of that fact. To the contrary, such an invocation could be mistaken, invalid, or meant to protect some other right. Indeed, Intership’s own motion mentions this third possibility: that in certain cases, resort may be made to an expired CBA’s arbitration clause. Docket No. 125, at 8–9 (citi1)). Reason- ing circularly, Intership argues that such an exception cannot apply because “the events related to this case occurred while the CBA was in effect.” Id. at 9. But the defendants do invoke Litton, arguing that they were invoking the CBA as it related to certain terms that, unlike the arbitration and no-strike provi- sions, survive the CBA’s expiration. Docket No. 131, at 6–7 (citing Litton, 501 U.S. at 206)). To be sure, the defendants’ position isn’t entirely convincing, but neither can it be dis- missed out of hand on the facts before me.
ip has failed to prove that the unions’ previous statements in other courts mean what Internship believes they mean, much less that they are binding on the unions in this forum. Accord- ingly, the unions may present evidence—as they have done in their presidents’ sworn statements—that contradicts or distinguishes the statements they’ ve made elsewhere. Whether the clauses were in effect in October 2012 is thus a question for trial, and summary judgment is inappropriate.
4. Conclusion For the reasons discussed above, Intership’s motion for partial summary judgment, Docket No. 125, is DENIED. Furthermore, Local 1740's motion to stay, Docket No. 148, is GRANTED IN PART, and this case is STAYED pending the resolution of the pending dispute between UDEM and the ILA in Civ. No. 15-1750(FAB). Once that dispute is resolved, the 20 parties in this case have ten days to inform the Court of its resolution.
along with their related motion, Docket No. 84, are deemed MOOT. The following motions are granted: Docket Nos. 107, 117, 118, 121, 129, 132, 142, 144, 147. The Court furthermore NOTES the following motions, the substance of which has been dealt with in this Order: Docket Nos. 106, 127, 128, 130, 134, 137, 143, 145, 149, and 150.

Has anyone been to a wedding or hosted their wedding at Siebkens in Elkhart Lake, The Bull in Sheboygan or Whistling Springs in Fond du Lac? I'm overseas and haven't been able to see them in person, just the pictures that were taken for us.
I haven't been to the venues themselves, but Sheboygan and Elkhart Lake are both gorgeous areas. Fond du Lac, not as much. I don't know how much that matters in your decision, though. If you're looking in the Sheboygan area, I've been to several weddings at Blue Harbor and one at The Osthoff (in Elkhart). Those are both gorgeous (but spendy) venues.
The ceremony is going to be in Sheboygan so we can take pictures out there. We are trying to stay on a budget so Blue Harbor and Osthoff are a bit much. Thank you though!
I don't know how far your willing to travel but my fiance and I just booked our ceremony and reception at The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond in Poynette, right by Madison. The price for the rental is great plus you use your own caterer and can bring in your own alcohol. Plus they have lots of land and a little pond for pictures.

It describes the race, has age ranges (and their accompanying ability score modifiers), saving throw bonuses and special abilities (like infravision and detecting slopes or secret doors), thief modifiers, level limits, and what classes they are eligible for. Pretty much everything. One addition (at least I presume it's an addition over what's in the LL books) is random tables for hair/eye/skin color. This is really helpful for the non-human races.

The page for fighter itself, though, is actually quite full, having different variations of gear depending on what sort of theme that fighter has. I'm not sure this makes all that much sense, at least from a game view, as many are just simply inferior to others. A fighter should have the best armor he can afford, regardless of his background.
Lastly, there are four appendices. The first is how to roll up advanced edition characters. Secondly are lists of gear and their prices. Third you have "fast packs", basically lists of pre-bought gear by theme, complete with price and weight. Lastly, there's a very long list (table, really) of secondary skills a character might have.
This is extremely handy if you want to make Labyrinth Lord characters, especially for new players and is worth the $1.99 as a reference. But I wonder at how much popularity Labyrinth Lord still has at this point? Its creator has largely moved onto other games. There's a brand new B/X clone, Old School Essentials (formerly B/X Essentials), that seems to have filled LL's niche, at least with regards to the basic game. Hopefully Mr. Mishler will consider making versions of this for other systems.

Weirdo by James Perolls
"Hey everybody. I'm the WEIRDO" declared Josh Christopher (formerly of Brighton duo, IYES) earlier today on his Facebook page.
We'lt's still exciting that he's finally announced it to the world.
Josh still appears to be maintaining some mystery, having slightly concealed his face on the dark blue track cover of new track 'Sapphire' (which also features some awesome drumming skills of Debbie Knox-Hewson (also Charli XCX's drummer)), and throughout the song, there is also an uncertainty as to whether the sapphire really is as beautiful as first thought.

‘Interstellar’ didn’t wow me quite as much as last year’s space drama Gravity and didn’t entertain me in the way his previous works have but by no means does this make it a failure. It is, in fact, an exciting leap in the right direction for cinema as a whole, and illustrates the increasing capabilities of the medium. A fine but flawed example of movie escapism, we can allow ourselves to see the world and beyond through the eyes of a true pioneer of modern filmmaking, breaking through dimensions and the barriers of the art form.
I am happy to report that the PUCT accepted the appeal in June 2017 and has urther proceedings. The SOAH judge has scheduled the case for initial hearings in May 2018.
Other facts compound the lack of fairness and equity. Mesquite is one of 13 member cities that comprise the NTMWD. In addition to the member cities, NTMWD sells water to approximately 34 customer cities, each with a different contract. It is our opinion that the rates charged to the customer cities do not accurately reflect the cost of NTMWD providing the service.
"As a result of this current structure, Mesquite has paid 36 million dollars over the past 14 years for water it did not use.

From Candy Crush. – The Clandie Place.
Hello my wonderful people. I know I said I will stay away but candy crush has been crushing me for days! I’ve been on a version of the game and I play it so seriously, my books think I’ve broken up with them. I’m still reading ooh but it’s looking like I’m having some side-chick kinda something with candy crush. I don’t even know which one I’m on. Saga, Soda. Whatever.
This is the version I’ve been playing.
So the past weekend was a loooong one, (thanks to the Muslim holiday) and I got stuck on a level of the game. I tried so hard to break through (as if it’s one serious thing) and I couldn’t. So I stopped trying.
The goal was to create 12 multicoloured cookies, those ones that look like chocolate chip cookies with smarties (we locals should think Robo Robo 🤣🤣🤣) all over them. I would have one cookie left to create and my time would be up, so like I said, I stopped trying.
Lesson 1. Never stop trying. I know you know this already. Whether it is life or just some silly game like candy crush 😉, never stop trying.
So instead of trying to reach my goal for that level, I started trying to beat my high score (a noble goal considering my high score) or create a large number of stripped or wrapped candy so that I could cross them and watch the candy board explode (how beautiful!). And since I don’t slack when I decide to get serious, I was going hard at this. With all my strength. My mind was very busy calculating how to get the highest score or make my board explode.
Lesson 2. Never take your eyes off the prize. Trust me, you will be distracted and sorely tested with easier goals but don’t you ever take your eyes of the prize.
If you play candy crush, I’m sure seeing this on your screen also makes you happy.
Talk about a rat race! I was running hard and fast. Away from the goal. And my sister walked past me and said, ‘see how serious you are! You will be playing game as if it’s one big thing’. It was in that moment that I realized what I was doing. And that my loves, is exactly what some of us do with our lives.
May I add that I was enjoying myself quite immensely? I don’t know why but it gives me great joy to see the candy board smashing up. I was having fun. I was beating my high scores and clearing candy like Kilode? But I was going absolutely nowhere. I remained at the exact same spot. The same level.
Lesson 4. The fact that you are having fun does not mean you are making progress. In fact, if you are not ‘paining’, you are probably not gaining.
Final lesson, do you find yourself in a rat race? It’s all right to take a break, evaluate yourself and performance, eat some energy giving food 😉 and hit it again. This time, with your eyes on the goal and your heart in the right place. And trust me, every other thing will fall in place.
I don’t know what else to call it to bring it home, lol. Thanks jare. </s> From celebrated storyteller Josh Weil comes a sui generis epicTwinfields, their nights spellbound by their uncle's tales.

From Tragedy, Opportunity—A New Beginning for Haiti and the Dominican Republic
John Freedman, MD, is the Chief of Anesthesiology at the Santa Rosa Medical Center in CA. He was the Lead Anesthesiologist and Intensivist on an Operation Rainbow Surgical Team. He iprofit charity dedicated to international health care collaboration. E-mail: gro.pk@namdeerf.nhoj.
I went to Haiti in late January as a member of an Operation Rainbow (www.operationrainbow.org) surgical team which comprised both Kaiser Permanente (KP) and non-KP team members. As background, my own medical charity, Medical Exchange International (www.medicalexchangeintl.org), had partnered with Operation Rainbow in the past to provide anesthesia equipment for several surgical missions in the developing world. In Haiti, we had an opportunity not only to provide pulse oximeters and anesthesia supplies, but also to help out on the clinical front line. As an anesthesiologist with a background in medicine and critical care, I split my time about half and half between theboth of which were intense and busy. Whereas I could write at length about what we did and how we coped with severely constrained resources, I want to focus this article on an important “epiphenomenon”: the catalytic action of the earthquake tragedy to create a new inflection point in the long history of Haiti-Dominican Republic relations.
Although we experienced the startling devastation in Port-au-Prince when we went into the city to deliver a pulse oximeter, our clinical work took place entirely at the Buen Samaritano (or Bon Samaritain in French) makeshift hospital in the town of Jimani, one mile east of the Haitian-Dominican border in the Dominican Republic. Before the earthquake, the facility was a yet-to-open complex comprising a chapel, an orphanage, and a dental clinic. After the earthquake, the chapel and the orphanage were rapidly converted to hospital wards, and the dental clinic became our acute care venue including a 4-room operating suite. We estimated we had about 250 patients on site, almost all of whom were injured Haitian refugees. We did between 20 and 50 surgical cases a day in 4 converted dental consultation rooms. The vast majority of our surgical cases were orthopedic and plastics procedures, as expected. In our makeshift ICU, I cared for 5 to 10 patients on any given day, and we also opened up a perinatal ward when we suddenly found ourselves doing C-sections (if you build it, they will come …).
The facility was staffed by volunteers from all over the world. We worked closely with our own superb Operation Rainbow orthopedic surgeons, including our mission lead Dave Atkin, MD, from San Francisco and pediatric specialist Chris Comstock, MD, from Corpus Christi, Texas, and with surgeons from around the US and around the globe. In the ICU, I worked closely with an excellent emergency/critical care team from Barcelona (and by closely I mean cross-covering to maintain 24/7 on-site care—the real thing). Nurses and pharmacists from all over the world worked together, and I remember being particularly touched when I saw a group of Israelis help an Arab team unload several tons of food that was brought in by the United Arab Emirates. All this is to say that there was a tremendous and truly inspiring internationalism—a deep humanism was in full bloom here.
Post-op patient.
This leads me to my main point: I witnessed first-hand an extraordinary stepping-up-to-the-plate by the Dominican government and the Dominican people. From the moment we arrived, we saw that the Dominicans had dedicated their major international airport in Santo Domingo to international relief efforts. Because Haiti's airports were marginally functional at best, this was crucial to the immediate relief efforts. The short aid corridor betweenwas active 24/7 with an endless stream of trucks laden with food, water, tents, coal, firewood, blankets, medical supplies, and more from dozens of countries and with a very notable contribution from the Dominican Republic itself. For example, the Dominican Republic sent 15 mobile cafeterias serving 100,000 meals a day into Haiti. Santo Domingo Water Corporation sent dozens of tank trucks, each containing 2000 gallons of water. Estimates of total Dominican Republic aid for Haiti to date have exceeded $17 million, no small sum for a small island republic that is itself a developing nation. We witnessed the Dominican army conspicuously keeping the Dominican side of the relief corridor safe and functional until the United Nations (UN) Peacekeeping Force (which fortuitously had been in Haiti prior to the earthquake) took over on the Haitian side to assure the relief lifeline kept flowing. Thankfully, the Dominican authorities allowed thousands of Haitian refugees to cross the border eastward into the Dominican Republic to seek care in our emergency relief hospital and in other Dominican hospitals.
Dr John Freedman at Buen Samaritano Hospital.
At Buen Samaritano, I noted that many of the drugs we used, and a hefty component of the supplies we used such as oxygen masks, epidural kits, and IV catheters, came from the Dominican Republic. The Dominican personnel presence was huge, literally hundreds of Dominicans representing the Dominican Public Health Department (known by its Spanish acronym of SESPAS), the Dominican Food Aid Program, the Dominican Republic's major emergency relief organization (known as URN for Unidad de Rescate Nacional), as well as Dominican representatives from countless humanitarian programUS Agency, and Ninos de las Naciones. The Dominican-based ARS Humano provided the trailers we used for our tuberculosis isolation ward and our spinal cord injury care unit. Dominican interpreters navigated the tricky Creole-French-Spanish language challenges for us. The Dominican government allowed US military transport choppers as well as those of several private US entities into their airspace to help us evacuate some of our most critically ill patients to the USNS Comfort hospital ship. The Dominican army was on-site day and night in Jimani, keeping us safe and keeping the peace amidst the influx of refugees. The Dominican charity Esperanza provided transportation and meals for our team. Last but certainly not least (from an anesthesiologist's standpoint), the Dominican Red Cross filled our rapidly depleting oxygen tanks every few days—life-giving assistance, literally and figuratively.
Buen Samaritano Hospital.
This Dominican largesse would be worthy of praise and worth relating in and of itself. But what makes it all the more heartening and extraordinary, in fact truly “game-changing” if one can apply that adjective to international relations, is that it opens a new era in the long history of tense and violent relations between these two neighboring nations. Columbus landed on the island ofpromptly claimed it for Spain. But it did not take long for the French to wrest half of the island from the Spanish, thus establishing two separate but equal colonies with political, cultural, and economic disparities that persist to this day. The Dominicans still resent a period of Haitian occupation from 1822 through 1844, though some Haitian scholars insist that the Haitians were “invited” in to ensure abolition of slavery in post-Spanish Dominica. Little known to most outsiders, the Dominicans ultimately had to win their independence not from Spain but from their Haitian overseers. The Dominicans repaid the favor in kind with a brutal retaliatory massacre of over 20,000 Haitians by the despotic Trujillo regime in 1937. To make matters worse, the persistent sharp contrast in prosperity, and some say an inherent racism in the Dominican Republic—have continued to fuel the fires of hatred, fear, and mistrust. The Dominican Republic ranks a respectable 90alth, health, and educational indices. Haiti comes in at a miserable 149, just a hair above Sudan. The Dominican economy has long profited from cheap Haitian labor: more than 90% of the country's sugar workers are of Haitian origin. The average Dominican can expect to live into his or her 70s, whereas 61 is the average life expectancy for Haitians and this is now surely reduced as a result of the earthquake. All of this makes it understandable that Haiti rejected an offer of over 3000 Dominican troops which was tendered the week after the quake with the intent of assisting the UN battalion in securing the aid corridor in eastern Haiti. To many Haitians that offer was similar to the idea of having Russian “peacekeepers” come into the Ukraine.
But that long and mostly ugly relationship which has prevailed for centuries may now be coming to an end. The opening was there after January 12, 2010, and the Dominicans took it. Some say it is in their interest to prevent a “failed Haiti” (if that is not already the case) and that the Dominicans are just pragmatists working to stem the tide of refugees. No doubt there is, as always, an element of public relations at work here and in fact the Dominicans have received some good press for their efforts. But having seen it in action, on the front lines, the Dominican effort by my observation is more than pragmatic and more than PR. It is huge and robust, carefully thought out, and thoroughly genuine.
Time will tell if this represents a true turning point and ushers in a new era for these two countries that uneasily share an island in our own backyard. Haiti's tragedy is as with any great tragedy, there is great opportunity inherent in the rebuilding phase, and the Dominicans seem to have grasped that. The Dominican effort and the healing of Haiti-Dominican Republic relations may turn out to be a very major ingredient in the formula for Haiti's long-term (and I use the word advisedly) reconstruction.

It has been shown that intramuscular (IM) injection of epinephrine into the lateral thigh (using a 1 or 1½ inch needle such as an Epipen) results in the fastest and most effective reduction of swelling in the airway. The rate at which epinephrine levels in the blood peak when administered via IM injection to the upper arm is significantly slower than when administered to the thigh, and should be only used as an alternative injection site.
Subcutaneous (SC) injection (regardless of injection site) has been shown to have significantly delayed absorption rates of epinephrine into the bloodstream as compared to IM injection into the thigh.

As a small business owner the most difficult part of being the boss is that you get to do everything. Often it is hard to get one.
In this article we are going to focus on what type of business do you want so that you know how to grow and where to focus your attention to make that growth happen. In part two of this article we will focus on the specifics of how to manage the tasks to get the most accomplished, stay focused on what is important, and how to deal with all the other demands of your time.
I? For most business owners there is a passion about what they do, pride in offering a service or product, and last but not least the noble idea of being one’s own boss which we think means working when we want, spending time with family, and having a good living and eventual retirement etc.
My next question is what type of growth? Growth can be measured in number of properties or in revenue. I decided to keep my number of properties the same but grow the revenue. I went after higher-end properties that had less maintenance and produced more revenue. I also started to aggressively offer value added services to clients which allowed me to create additional revenue streams while still managing the same number of properties.
Survey what your competition is offering. Then seriously look at what you offer and see where you might be able to offer other services. An example might be you offer tenant placement services. Not all companies offer this. Look at what you are currently doing that you are not charging for and start charging for it; such as if you accept pets in your properties offer a Pet Program this is where you go inspect the property 2 times per year and the tenant pays for your time. This has been very successful for my company. I now have Owners more willing to allow pets, and the responsible tenants are more than ok with it, and now you can charge higher rent for allowing pets, which means more money to you in your management fees.
All too often I find that people undersell themselves and work for free. If you aren’t confident in your value and what you bring to the table then how can anyone feel confident in hiring you to manage their investment property.
Look at your management fees. Please don’t just be the cheapest in town. Know your value and charge for it. Even if you raise your management fees just a half percent I am sure clients won’t leave over this and all those half percentages add up to a real boost to your bottom line.
Review your rents, can they be increased? I
Start looking very seriously at all the things you do in your business and see how you can monetize it. I am the most expensive company in town and I have a thriving business. So don’t let fear of losing clients keep you from offering services and charging what you are worth.dn’ty too!
This is what I did in my business and it worked for me. I grew my business 20% per year since purchasing the company in 2005 while keeping the number of properties about the same. That continued growth in revenue allowed me to get a SBA loan to purchase my office building, and remodel it. It also allowed me to refinance it at better terms 2 years later. I was able to pay myself instead of putting everything I earn back into the business.
I had the right employees (that is another article about how to accomplish this) who could run the office without me being there and this allowed me to work in the office only 3 days a week and work remotely as needed the other 2 days a week while I performed parental caregiving. This was a true blessing to be able to spend time with my loved ones at the end of life and not feel torn between my responsibilities at the company.
I challenge all of you to take a serious look at your business. Decide what type of business do you want and then decide what you need to do to get there. Have the right number of employees to support your goals and start the plan. If you stay focused on the plan you will be able to have it all without the headaches.
Lastly, but not least of all please join NARPM and other professional organizations. They are a fantastic resource of ideas and education to support you and your business. Not least of which is the moral support of knowing you are not alone.

Another video nicely done with a good summary on how to setup your trading pad and trading accounts.
My perspective is that it is not necessary to have many monitors especially if you are not monitoring multiple markets. Some traders find that less is more. One big chart with your primary timeframe plus a few smaller charts is often enough. Ms. Raschke trades many markets with just a few trading setups. Hence the need of more monitors.


Aston Martin Is Going “ELECTRIC”
According to the CEO of AM ,
“ Electric drive is part of our journey and our product plan for the future. We should achieve something by the middle of the decade – that’s the ballpark. That’s the period of time and I think it’s crucial”
The firm’s DBX SUV will kickstart this change as part of Aston’s ‘Project Horizon’ transformation business plan and will be launched “before 2024,” according to Moers, while the brand’s mid-engine
“We have re-established engineering in the company on adifferent level and we have a lot of possibilities in mind. We have to finally do that, we have to finally line it up, but we have a clear
ambition for 2030.”
Moers commented, “Valhalla at the minute will get a redesign – probably it’s a bit of a different drivetrain than the company thought before, because wis there are other chances for us regarding the
“But we still have an electrified powertrain, we still have kind of a hybrid style, we still have really breathtaking technology. But we have to talk with our clients first and we have to show the new Valhalla, so to speak, to our customers. We’re going to do that over the course of the next three to four months”

The next release of Adobe Reader will have a protected mode that will sandbox all "write" calls on Adobe Reader PDF documents opened during Windows sessions. It will work, Arkin explained.
Security experts welcomed the collaboration and believe that where security is concerned competition must take a backseat, especially in cases where programs and systems are interoperable.
"Microsoft and Adobe have an extremely large user base. This is evident by the number of attackers exploiting vulnerabilities on their software,"Although sandboxing Adobe Reader should help mitigate a great deal of vulnerabilities, there is still the potential of future vulnerabilities with the product."
"I think this is an indication of something we need to see," said Tyler Reguly, senior security researcher at nCircle. "All big vendors should be working together to better ensure the security of their systems and to protect their end users. These vendors share customers, so working together to provide a better end product is really just common sense."


SinThe stadium lights of Swan Field contribute significantly to night sky light pollution, which makes it hard to see even the brightest stars.
"W" said astronomy major Maya Barlev '12.
When the stadium lights shine onto Swan Fields during the dark winter months, the telescopes in Strawbridge are virtually unusable for astronomy classes and public observers.
"Because of [light pollution in] Philadelphia, the west is the dark park of the sky which, of course, is where the field is," Astronomy professor Stephen Boughn said. According to Boughn, "maybe 15-20 nights out of every 40 that [they] try to observe during the semester," the sky is too polluted with light, from the city on the east, and from the stadium lights on the west.
Director of Athletics Wendy Smith and Athletic Facilities Manager Jim Kenyon coordinate use of Swan Field and Strawbridge observatory with Barlev and the other Astronomy student coordinator, Megan Bedell '12. Together they plan the use of the telescope so that sports teams can use the field without conflict.
Between members of the public, two astronomy classes and students within the major,there is a lot of viewing to go around. And there is a lot of field time to share between lacrosse, soccer, and field hockeyd's new commitment to energy efficient design.

Following IMF SDR inclusion
With a Duterte government leaning towards China as source of trade and investmentsyesterday said the Chinese renminbi (RMB) is now one of the official currenciesTetangco announced yesterday that the Monetary Board, BSP’s policy-making body, approved the inclusion of RMB in the GIR to make it readily available to the banking system. The GIR is primarily in US dollars but also includes other currencies such as the Japanese yen in smaller portiluded the RMB as part of its special drawing rights (SDR) list of currencies, the fifth in the SDR basket which is in US dollar, Japanese yen, the euro and the British pound.
(”i).
Since the RMB is now part of the SDR valuation, the BSP decided to make RMB reserve-eligible beginning on October 1 this year.
As part of the SDR basket of reserve currencies, the RMB will also determine the value of the SDR and that “thhina” is expected to increase the use of this currency, said the BSP.
The central bank said the Monetary Board decision also has a lot to do with the “increasing linkages with China” particularly after President Duterte’s state visit to that country where he brought home investment pledges reportedly amounting to $24 billion.
Citing data from the Philippine Statistics Office, the BSP said Philippine exports to China increased by 7.9 percent from $5.7 billion in 2010 to $6.2 billion in 2015.
In the first seven months of 2016, China ranked as the fourth largest destination of Philippine exports, with 10.2 percent share or $ 3.2 billion to total exports.
Imports from China, in the meantime, increase5. “By 2013, China had become the biggest source of Philippine imports, and thisfrom China at 18.5 percent ($ 8.4 billion) of total imports,” noted the BSP.
In terms of tourist arrivals, data from the Department of Tourism show that in July, 2016, China ranked as the second biggest visitor market for the Philippines, an improvement from its fourth place ranking in 2015, added the BSP.
As early as 2011, the BSP has already began studying using the RMB as trade currency between the Philippines and China. However, since there was no real demand for RMB in the Philippines, the plan was sidetracked. The central bank maintains a floating exchange rate system which i
Since 2006, the Chinese yuan is a currency convertible with the BSP and it is an acceptable currency for export receipts. The yuan is the base unit of the RMB.

Now, believe it or not this post actually has everything to do with Africa. As of today, I've been here for 2 months!That means I only have a short 4 months left before I go home and start planning my next adventure, whether back here or somewhere new. (Japan?
Today, I'm having a little miniature celebration for my 2 month anniversary. Sure, its just me and Soda, (the cat. No, not "kat', those are the evil ones) but still there is no one else around that would want to have a 2 month celebration with me. What?
*Side point. Is it just me, or are snuggies just robes worn backwards?
Thats it for now, though I might have another session of "It made my day' or "Learn from my fail' sometime in the future. Until next we meet, farewell!
i agree about the snuggies - footie pjs are way better!not that we people living in warm climates need them!
Oh my goodness, this was hilarious!I sprayed Dr. Pepper out my nose due to a badly timed sip!My two favorites..."walking home alone in the dark" and "the hand sanitizer debacle". Happy Anniversary!
Jenjen, Thanks!Dr. Pepper out the nose?Owch, that's the worst!
本当にすごい!♪───O(≧∇≦)O────♪ It's great how you put this lesson in a positively humorous light!I don't think i could pick a favorite, so left me in tears from laughter!Keep up the great posts, so many of your readers enjoy them!
P.S. If you think it's sad falling in the dark, try falling down the stairs when everything is perfectly visible (not that I admit to doing this)!You'll find a new level of necessity to be able to laugh at yourself!...ね?☆〜(ゝ。
Dsc, The personal space thing is SO funny, its a love/hate relationship, haha!Africa is NOT the place to be if you like your personal space, you're so right about that!
A side point to the side point: Snuggies are gross!
B-Rad, nice to hear from you, buddy!Know that we (the Bethel group) miss you and wish the best for you!I agree about the snuggies, wholeheartedly. Not in Africa just yet, thank goodness. And after watching 'SIGNS' I'm terrified of corn...
Cindy, thanks again!Its been a crazy 2 months already, and I still have 4 more to go!


Are Cow Tails a Safe Alternative to Raw Hide Chews for Dogs?
But are all chews safe?
What are Cow Tails?
Regarding your request for feedback below, we did try the cow tails and I would not recommend them to anyone. Despite the deceptive chewable exterior, the interior is made of very hard bone. Within the first 2 minutes (and my dog is small) a 2 inch piece of very hard bone interior came loose and my dog almost swallowed it. Thank goodness I was supervising him. This hard interior could also easily break a tooth….I took my husband's hammer and tried to break it…
When I originally wrote this blog post, I was focus on the cow tails; now, several years later, I am curious about one more thing – how are these processed?If I didn't read the label on the package, I wouldn't know that these are cow tails. A cow tail has hair on it – so what did the brand do to remove the hair and bleach the tail?
I had the same experience with my lab Albie with the Himalayan chews too. Shame, as he loved it and would have had hours of enjoyment with it had he not been such a greedy pup!
Fantastic, Nico!
I'm in your Facebook group and I just googled the cow tails to see if they were safe and got to this article!
I disagree about tail completely. Would you apply the same thought to chicken necks, RMBs, chicken legs, etc?
I feed my Ruby calf tails…i domt think that karen bought fresh ones bc the ones i buy Ruby are extremely Chewy and are not hard inside…
My favorite chews for The Ginger Sisters are beef tendons and The Honest Kitchen Beams. The beef tendons are long lasting and they soften in a way that makes me feel they are fairly safe. Every dog is different, that's for sure!Ruby does great with Himalayan Chews but Boca swallowed and vomited up a large piece recently that made me decide they were not appropriate for her. Thanks for the warning about cow tails – I had been wondering about them!
I read somewhere (Dr. Becker maybe?) that "ears" are not great unless from an organic source because the ear is often the place of injections sites. Anyone else ever hear of anything like this?
I absolutely love Himalayan Dog Chews and so does Luna. They aren't super messing, but they absolutely last. That is always my challenge with Luna. She is little, but she knows how to chew!You are right, you do have to be careful of when they get small, but you can always turn them into dog popcorn!


Female beauty is the first thing to mention, speaking about the inexhaustible sources of inspiration for thousands of artists, painters, poets and musicians, irrespectively whether they lived in Ancient Greece or live today in the industrialized world. Here, in this Cruzine publication we have gathered some beautiful ladies illustrations from around the web to illustrate all the depth of female beauty and reveal some of the potential secrets masked by that eternal beauty. The works presented here are digital art paintings rather than real photographies, but they illustrate vividly the present-day artistic perception of female beauty and some of the modern trends, trying to depict this beauty with the help of computer-powered illustrating techniques rather than by traditional brush and paints.


I just wanted to give everyone a quick update and post a couple of photos. I am settled in at my new location at a Forward Operating Base in Iraq, and have had the opportunity to get a few missions under my belt.

I’ve been able to document that as well as the Iraqis in the city of Al-Kut along the Tigris River, the cradle of civilization.

I don't know how I failed to mention my utter admiration for the lovely blonde corps lady who gallantly coped with a 'Wardrobe Malfunction' during the Waltz of the Flowers. About 3 minutes into the number, the white lower ruffle of her petalled skirt ripped-off about three-quarters of the way around the hem!While other ladies' skirts ended a couple of inches below the knees, this flower's hem dragged just about the floor. It's a miracle that she did not fall!Near the end, when the four 'darn bees' lift each flower one by one, our lady in distress gave us the widest smile imaginable -- there was no place to hide!-- and danced gloriously to the end. A perfect example of the old motto: "The show WILL go on!"
After going through the names of dancers listed as 'Flowers' in my playbill AND comparing with thumbnail photos in a 2011 MET season booklet, I believe that the heroic young lady who so gallantly coped with the stray ruffle was Lauren Post. Three cheers to Lauren!
I lovd the Waltz of the Flowers when I saw it last year, and loved the Bees. I know others wanted something more traditional but I loved how the Bees made me hear the music as I had never heard it before....And considering my age and how much we get bombarded with Nutcracker, that's really saying something...

You might as well ask other passengers for information on where exactly are you going. Maybe you will get lucky and get information from someone who's headed the same destination as you.

Recruiters like students who get involved with student associations. But very much like contacts, business cards and grades, being in a student association is only beneficial if you maximize the opportunity. Many students fall in the trap of using student associations solely to their own advantage. They tend to use the contacts they make at companies for their own subsequent job search. Professor relationships are used to secure letters for this and that. Important information about opportunities and events are usually kept private between association members. Do you seek a career in politics or in business?


Mickey Guyton Asks For Continued Prayers As Son Recovers From Illness
(Left) Mickey Guyton / Twitter / (Right) Mickey Guyton / Facebook
Country singer Mickey Guyton and her husband, Grant Savoy, welcomed their son, Grayson Clark Savoy, in February this year. Mickey said giving birth to her son was "the hardest and most beautiful thing" she had ever done.
Mickey tends to keep her personal life fairly private. But she does share the occasional picture or video of Grayson on social media. Fans have loved watching him grow over the past nine months.
Mickey said the doctors didn't have any idea what was wrong with Grayson at the time. She closed her message by asking her followers to please keep her son in their prayers.
I nor.

Mickey posted an update on Grayson's condition the following day (November 19). Sheholding Grayson in the hospital.
"He's not in the clear but he's on the mend," Mickey said of how Grayson was feeling at that time.

The next day (November 20), Mickey shared a lengthier update on Grayson's health. First, she said the doctors finally discovered why he was ill.
"I," Mickey disclosed. She said Grayson first seemed sick on November 11 and had "lost some weight from not being able to retain any liquid."
Grayson fortunately didn't have to spend too much time in the ICU. As Mickey explained:
Even though Grayson is doing better now, Mickey asked her fans to "please please please continue to pray for him" as he recovers.

In already impoverished northwest Pakistan, flooding brought on by unprecedented rains has displaced hundreds of thousands, left tens of thousands homeless and killed more than 1,500.
Destruction of farmland is widespread and entire villages have been swept away. An estimated 27,000 remain stranded, most without food or water.
CNN’s Reza Sayah toured Pakistan’s flood-ravaged Swat Valley by helicopter on August 2.
Covering an area of 450 sq.mi., the blazes are located in the regions of Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir and Voronezh, and the Republic of Mordovia. In some villages, nearly every home has been destroyed while smoke from the fires chokes skies over Moscow.

The Kolchuga sensor helped the Israelis to identify the location of all Syria’s aerial defense systems, which include aadar.
The Chinese experts drew attention to the startling accuracy of the Israeli airstrikes, and observed that before acquiring the Kolchuga system, Israel had been extremely cautious about deciding to attack Iranian facilities in Syria.
Israel acquired a Ukrainian-made Kolchuga-M passive sensor system at the end of 2018. In January 2019, a Russian-made Pantsir system was destroyed by an Israeli suicide drone.


Leverage points, says Meadows, are "places within a complex system…" – be it a company, an economy, a living body, a city, an ecosystem, or even a galaxy for that matter – "…
While all changes to a system ultimately materialize in its physical form, Meadows suggests that interventions focused primarily on physical changes are some of the least powerful ways to affect deep change. Yet, she proffers that a stunning 99 percent of our efforts towards social, environmental and economic system sustainability (or "change") are spent working with these kinds of solutions. This alone, she cautions, does little more than "tinker with a broken system."
Each of these shifts in goal holds tremendous potential to catalyze deep change within a system, and we could explore many more such examples. But finally, says Meadows, we must ask ourselves from where such changes first arise?
To facilitate such transformative change within a system, says Meadows, we need to be willing to challenge our very assumptions about the way things are, acknowledging our relative insignificance as human beings and evoking the capacity to look at the world through unknowing eyes. We need to nurture the capacity to remain unattached to the idea that any paradigm represents the complete truth and to recognize the "tremendous limitations of our worldview."
If it is indeed the case that we need to make a greater effort working with some of the more powerful pathways to change, I ask myself, why do we spend so much time at the base of the hierarchy, "tinkering with" the least powerful leverage points?

My motto right now is 'Break all the rules.' We need to be radical. This is a systems problem. If you don't have a systemic response, you have a hobby."

“This is an important inhibit” University of York researcher Dr. Michelle Rauden said in a release.
Ruden is the co-author of a paper on enzymes published on Monday in Scientific Reports. Researchers also worked closely with scientists at personal care products giant Unilever, who could use new insights into the development of new deodorant products.
Perhaps the most interesting finding of research is that these stink-causing enzymes have been with humans, well … since we were humans. Researchers say that it was for our ancestors riding before the development of modern humans and could play an important role in social communication; Primates are known to use oders to send messages, such as “back off”.
“This research was a real eye opener,” Unilever co-author Dr. Gordon James said. “This suggests that a significant odor-forming enzyme is present only in a select few adjacent bacteria and evolved tens of millions of years ago.”

His group and other critics have voiced concern about the impact on wireless competition of allowing the nation's biggest wireless provider, Verizon, to amass so much valuable spectrum. "The fact is that Verizon could have tried to tough it out, instead they decided to negotiate on their own terms."
