This COVID-19 stigma assessment was added onto the parent study's 6-month assessments for teachers in bothALWH. At the time of this COVID-focused stigma assessment, the schools were closed because of the pandemic and the teachers were at home in their communities. The Stigma in AIDS Family Inventory (SAFI) Questionnaire (37) asks a series of questions regarding the stigma and discrimination that an individual experiences because of his/her own or someone in their families' HIV status. The tool has been previously validated for use with Kenyan youth living with HIV and caregivers of children or youth living with HIV (37). Participants are instructed to respond to an experience as having “never happened” or “ever happened.” Many of the question prompts are led by the statement, “Because I have HIV or someone else in my family has HIV…”
Responses to stigma items, broken down by cohort, are provided in Table 1. A substantial percentage of teachers (47.8%) reported having witnessed discrimination against someone with suspected COVID-19 infection. A smaller, but sizable number of teacher participants (18%) had experienced COVID-19-related discrimination themselves, and among those who did, most experienced it within their neighborhoods (71.4%). Some teacher participants had lost financial (11.6%) or social (14.8%) support as a result of COVID-19 infection. Over half of the teachers (69.2%) reported that it was important for one to keep their COVID-19 status a secret. The teachers reported a great deal of perceived social stigma related to COVID-19 into the community; the majority of teachers reported that either a few or many people in the community considered COVID-19 “a dirty or shameful disease,” or believed that “students who are suspected to have had COVID-19 infection should not be allowed to return to school.”
Among the small sample of ALWH (N = 19), none reported witnessing or experiencing COVID-19 related discrimination, and they had not lost financial or social support as a result of COVID-19 infection. Over a quarter (26.32%) of adolescents reported that it was important to keep their COVID-19 status a secret, and just over half of the adolescents reported that a few or most people in the community think “that COVID-19 is a dirty or shameful disease.” Nearly half (47.37%) of adolescents responded “a few people think that” in regard to the statement “students who are suspected to have had COVID18.

Opinion On 3D Cookie Kit
Is there no way to manipulate the wonky cutters into shape??
I guess you can't return them and have them done over or you'd have done that huh. I don't think I ever heard of powder coated cookie cutters.
Hope that all works out.
Next time you're looking at cutters, check out the ones in colors. Wilton has quite a few. If I had given thought to needing to bend the cutters, I would have spent the extra money to have the steel polished as opposed to coated. But price was an issue, and I'm already at the breaking point for many decorators.
Just want to add my tuppence worth....your cutters are not only good value but good quality too and your booklets are great also.
Re the booklets i'd maybe suggest you add the extra stuff - i've not yet tried my set yet (just been too busy) but i know when i do I will use the idiot proof instructions being a newbie, i'm a cookie virgin

Because of geology the very best views of Hadrian's Wall in this part of Northumberland are from the north, out beyond where the Pax Romana ruled and where the Selgovae lived. So after a short stretch walking alongside some of the best-preserved parts of the Wall, let's head north into barbarian territory and enjoy a circular walk with great views back to Housesteads. A short part of the walk may be muddy after wet weather.
Although almost all of this walk can be done off lead this very much depends upon your dogs disposition with livestock. Both sheep and cows will be encountered. If your dog has a tendency to chase then it should be kept on lead at all times. Northumbrian farmers have.


Today is the 44th anniversary of theIt's been 44 years since Eugene A. Cernan and Harrison H. (Jack) Schmitt set foot on the Moon and placed the only mass spectrometer on the lunar surface to conduct analytical chemistry of the Moon's atmospheric environment.
Apollo 17 was the last of the Apollo missions, and was an historic event that ended human exploration of the Moon. Perhaps someday soon humans will return to the Moon, after all, it isn't just any moon, it's our Moon.
Tracks are clearly visible and can be followed to the east, where astronauts Jack Schmitt and Gene Cernan set up the Surface Electrical Properties experiment (SEP). Cernan drove the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) in an intersecting north-south and east-west course to mark positions for laying out the SEP 35-meter antennas (circle labeled "SEP" marks the area of the SEP transmitter). The dark area just below the SEP experiment is where the astronauts left the rover, in a prime spot for monitoring the liftoff.

As stock market soars
The US House of Representatives on Thursday failed to obtain the two-thirds vote required under a fast-track procedure to extend long-term jobless benefits for an additional three months. The federally fundeds expire November 30. Thursday’s House vote makes it virtually certain that the benefits will not be extended by that time, cutting off cash assistance for an estimated two million workers by the end of the year.
The current “lame-duck” Congress, in session until the newly electeda reduced Democratic majority in the Senate takes office in January, retains large Democratic majorities in both chambers. But the Democrats have all but conceded they will not push through an extension of the benefits before the new Congress takes control.
The House vote and stock market rally coincided with new data indicating that the US economy continues to stagnate, eliminating any prospect of significant job gainlast week by 2,000 to 439,000. Any figure above 400,000 points to an economy that is failing to generate jobs at a normal rate.
Fifteen states reported that jobless claims increased by more than 1,000, while only two reported a decline of more than 1,000.
The official US unemployment rate has been above 9 percent for 1883. The refusal of the Obama administration to implement government hiring programs or any significant relief for nd falling into poverty is compounding a widening social disaster.
A grim indicator of growing social distress is theforeclosures of homes financed by prime fixed-rate mortgagear. The trade group said prime fixed rate and Federal Housing Administration loans, i.e., those taken out by credit-worthy homebuyers, as opposed to sub-prime borrowers, now account third quarter, compared to 39 percent a year ago.
“T,”told the press. “It’th,” he added.
That there is little prospect for a jobs turnaround was underscored by a Commerce Department report Wednesday showing that new home construction fell 11.7 percent in October, the lowest level in 18 months. New construction of single-family homes was 8.2 percent lower than the same period a year ago.
Mass layoffs continue to be announced on nearly a daily basis. Just over the past several days New York City announced the elimination of over 10,000 jobs, the pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG said it will cut 4,500 jobs worldwide by 2012, and the Swiss pharmaceutical group Roche said it will slash 4,800 jobs in 2011 and 2012, the bulk of the layoffs coming in the US.

1970, ISBNs have functioned as the main identification system for books. Bookshops, wholesalers, distributors, libraries and commercial and academic organisations have depended on the ISBN system for ordering, listing and stock control. Publishers use ISBN to help with managing all stages of the book process from commissioning, design and production, to the collation of metadata and the compilation of catalogues, and on to the accumulation of data for sales analysis.
If we were creating ISBN from scratch today, you probably wouldn't choose a decentralized system on its own, since, understandably some countries lack infrastructure, but instead supplement it with a centralized registry. ISBN has also been rather a victim of its own success; its attractiveness as a simple-to-implement identifier has meant that in some places the system has been abused, with, for example, ISBNs being assigned to things that aren't books at all – T-shirts, toys etc. In countries where the government decides which books receive an ISBN, a downside is its potential to be used as a tool for censorship.
Publishers sometimes don't appreciate that ISBN on its own is just an identifier. Unless you have metadata linked to it, it has no real meaning?. </s> Jakarta to Host o impose a Value Added Tax (VAT) on bookcall . The IPA and FEP call , Svetlana Alexievich, tat the hands of the Lukashenko regime.

Dr K’s ex-wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer with a life expectance of 4-5 years. He was supporting her with medical insurance and the deductible (access) proportion of her treatment. This was a substantial financial undertaking, that he needed his business to be able to support. So, he started a process of expanding is practice creating more revenue, putting his own personal quality of life with his partner on temporary hold.
I met Dr K in a business networking group, he was a somewhat irrelevant member of the chapter with a very dry wit and took some of the groups procedures with a large pinch of salt, which drew me to him without really knowing him.
Dr K was in his mid-50’s fit and healthy and wanted to now plan his life around a more fulfilled life with his partner, not working so hard, having more time to travel with her and enjoy their lives together.
He was seeking my assistance to downsize his practice and restructure the business to better fit his revised life expectations.
There were loans- premise leases- commitments to the other practitioners the office support structure all to be scaled back without offending HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance.
Suffice to say I spent many hours in their office, and in discussion with the landlord as well as the financial institutions.
Dr K had been doing a heroic and unselfish thing by supporting his ex with her health issues and treatment.
Now he and his partner are enjoying life together to the full, and I am proud to call them both good friends of my wife and me.

How Death Cab For Cutie saved my whole week
Regular readers will note that I’m falling into a fairly predictable update pattern as the site staggers uncertainly out of its fledgling days. Expect posts very early in the morning on weekdays, late in the afternoon on Saturdays, and maybe sometimes on Sunday if my muse inspires me. The reason for the discrepancy is that I’m usually too incoherent to write on Friday nights, so it gets postponed.
Regular readers will also be familiar with my Death Cab ticket dilemma. Yelling at the manager of fastixx.com for ten minutes brought me no closer to having tickets; they’d screwed up and I’d have to deal with it, and that was all. Running up and down the line at the Showbox proved much more effective, and I found someone with an extra ticket pretty quickly.
“Do you want to sell me that ticket for any amount of money?”
That amount turned out to be $20, but I would have paid a lot more. I ran into Marta and her crew in line, which was either unbelievable coincidence or the gentle nudge of fate, and hung out with them for the duration of the show. She’s just as quiet and innocent as freshman year, but even more beautiful, if that’s possible. Her lack of boyfriends is almost criminal (just ask Sven sometime).
The opening act, The Thermals, suck ass. I always find it interesting to watch bands in which the lead singer doesn’t play an instrument, because they always act like they’re trying to prove something, to somehow justify their existence as mediocre voice talent by introducing on-stage antics. This guy was no exception. Halfway through the set I suggested to Marta that he must be a theater major, so exaggerated were his hand motions while singing. The audience was unimpressed. What did leave a mark on me was their guitar player, who may have been the sweatiest human I’ve ever seen. He had a shaved head, and really got into the act, whipping his bald pate around and flinging off liters of water at a time. It was splendid to behold.
Get your tickets for Sasquatch Fest now, before it’s too late. True, Coldplay is headlining, which kind of sucks, but Modest Mouse, Death Cab, and Flaming Lips are also on the bill. And as it turns out, Death Cab is getting huge.

Athens apartments – Housing and short-term lease
During the recent economic crisis in Greece, many business fields had a difficult time. Professionals were unable to secure work. A great number of businesses and companies shut down. Even in the most lucrative of fields, the economic downturn forced major, sometimes historic companies to fold. One of the most affected fields was that of construction and housing. During the last decades, construction way. Along with tourism, it was the “locomotive” of the Greek economy. Hundreds of different professionals involve themselves in the building of a house or other construction. This means that benefits from construction are distributed in a large portion of society. They bring value to an extended economic circle. Statistics said that many professional fields flourished, directly or indirectly with the construction of a new building.
Along with the hold on new construction activity, the crisis had an effect on the existing buildings. Many smaller or larger apartments constitute the classic form of habitation in Athens, the apartment building. Apartment buildings are omnipresent in all neighborhoods of Athens. They satisfied the housing needs of the ever-growing Greek capital for decades. Their construction, along with the construction of country cottages, was the driving force behind the flourishing of the construction sector. Everyone wanted to have an apartment In Athens for their family, then another for their kids when they grow up.
Athens apartments today
Today the economic crisis seems to be over. Athens recovers fast. Tourism flourishes, new food & beverage spots and nightlife spots are opening every day. Moreover, Toity to marvel at its attractions. Greek & international companies and associations hold conferences and meetings with many international participants. All these people require accommodation. Many new hotels and boutique hotels in Athens open every year. However, due to the rise of the sharing economy, cheaper solutions for travelers do exist.
Athens apartments come in all shapes and sizes, to accommodate the needs of a varying array of guests. Solo travelers or traveling couples can find themselves in cozy, bright spaces that leave no nook or cranny unused. Families, groups of sightseeing friends or colleagues traveling in business trips all together, are also welcome to Athens. They can find larger, 3- and 4-bedroom apartments in strategically-placed locations, All can use the short-lease apartments in Athens as launching pads for their excursions and their exploration of the ancient city.
The process of renovation of apartments in Athens
To participate in the sharing economy, Athens apartments as in all over the world must comply to certain standards. Moreover, owners who wanted to upload their properties to online platforms had to renovate them. As such, the construction sector once again heated up, as various construction professionals and handymen found work in those projects. People that were unemployed for long periods of time, due to the slowing down of the sector. Additionally, Greek and immigrant workers proceeded to work on those projects and cash started to flow again in the businesses.
Suddenly, entire neighborhoods and areas of Athens with comparative advantages, became “construction sites” (a term used by locals). Multiple apartments were renovated at the same time. Not only in Athens, but also in Thessaloniki, Crete and all of the Greek islands, construction was reinvigorated. In some cases, owners of entire buildings changed their face, even their structure, rearranging internal spaces to make more apartments. The result was not only the renovation of the buildings. It was a whole economic uplifting of the construction sector and several local economies! The process benefitted the government, as the required permits came with fees. Also, according to Greek law, the owners paid mandatory social security contributions to the retirement funds.
There were opposing voices of course, as in all major cities of the world. Neighbors who didn’t quite liked the idea of short-term lease and its effects protested. This didn’t stop the process of renovation of old, worn-down and closed apartments to participate in the sharing economy. It however gave the owners the added responsibility of respecting their areas, their local culture and the people.
Common traits of neighborhoods with Athens apartments
Neighborhoods who many considered underdeveloped, even infamous, are getting new life through renovation and reclamation. Whole areas or squares become centers of activity, because a new hip place opened its doors a few meters down the street. Apartment buildings who were not cared after during the crisis, are now filled with newly renovated apartments. Some of them wait for out of town students or professionals coming for work in Athens to rent them. However, most are up for short-term lease through online platforms, such as AirBnB, Booking, Expedia etc.
The new hip neighborhoods of Athens have some common traits:
In or close to the historic center of Athens.
Within walking distance of major attractions.
Near an Athens Metro or Railway station.
A concentration of nightlife spots, cafes and restaurants.
Newfound publicity from free-press publications & online city guides.
Instagrammable attractions, either accidental or intended.
Older or newer apartment buildings with an array of unused apartments of all sizes.
Recently renovated apartments by their owners.
Guide to the hip neighborhoods of Athens historic center
The most hip and bohemian neighbourhood, in the heart of Athens. Vibrant Psirri is the place of the best bars, restaurants, brunch houses, bakeries and new hotels in Athens. It is also located near all major attractions, be them ancient or modern. The Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, important museums, Syntagma sq., are all within walking distance of Psirri. Notably, there is a kind of magic in place, as Psirri, Monastiraki and Plaka seem to be “conjoined”. In fact, one can walk through a street in one of those neighbourhoods and find himself in some other, with much more things to explore. And the progression feels natural, as the surroundings do change subtly. That is the nature of Psirri and of the heart of Athens.
Psirri is the location of Ederlezi Boutique Hotel. The newest boutique hotel in Athens, with 8 uniquely-decorated rooms and suites. It is also the place of Ederlezi Diamond. A 2-bedroom stone house property, in the crossroads of two picturesque promenades. There not enough words to describe accurately the experience of Psirri. One can only understand it only by living it, experiencing the full of what it has to offer.
Very close to Omonoia, Metaxourgheio is the best example of how Athenian neighborhoods transform themselves and follow the new trends. Once, it was the area of the silk processing workshops, (hence the name, which means Silk Workshop). With the moving of the workshops to other parts of Greece, the neighborhood fell into recession for years. A big bang of new restaurants, bars, galleries & art spaces, 4* and 5* hotels, gives life to Metaxourgheio.
Karaiskaki square is teeming with activity as 24h bakeries attract tourists after their night out and 2 5* hotels illuminate it with their lights. Metro station of the Red Line connects the neighborhood to the entire Athens transportation system. The same metro station connects it with Larissa station, the Terminal of Hellenic Railways, spanning the entirety of continental Greece. Metaxourgheio is a very safe neighborhood, due to the presence of the Metaxourgheio Police Department 100 meters from the square.
It is also the location of Ederlezi Sapphire apartment and Ederlezi Emerald apartment, the newly renovated apartments of Ederlezi Living. Both decorated according to the BoHo philosophy, both following the tenets of stylish simplicity. Ederlezi Sapphire is a cozy, comfortable Athens apartment with a view of the emblematic Acropolis. Ederlezi Emerald is a 3-bedroom apartment for families and groups of friends. Their close proximity makes them ideal to be booked individually or even combined, for the guests’ convenience.
Once Koukaki was a middle-class residential neighbourhood in the shadow of the Acropolis. Today, it is one of the most up-and-coming and most famous neighbourhoods of Europe. Top Ten Listings from various media place it in the hottest areas to live on the continent. Its two promenades, Drakou and Georgiou Olympiou, buzz with cafes and nightlife spots, but also with traditional Greek food restaurants and taverns. “Syngrou-Fix” Metro station nearby connects it thoroughly with all the major attractions of the centre of Athens. The ancient Acropolis, symbol of western civilization and the Acropolis museum are within walking distance. Koukaki connects to the Dionysiou Areopagitou promenade under the Acropolis hill, voted one the best walking and biking routes globally.
The owners of many smaller apartments in Koukaki renovated them to attend to the ever-growing number of tourists who seek affordable accommodation. This area has now a large assortment of short-term leased properties, a number ever growing. Growing accordingly is its recognisability! Koukaki has become some sort of household name within the community of travellers to Athens.
A historicSyntagma Sq. and close to Evangelismos Metro station. Long considered a privileged neighbourhood, due to its proximity to the historic centre of Athens as well as the business heart of the city. Pangrati has the distinction of being midway through Syntagma and Kifissias avenue, but also close to other residential blocks. A place of parks, squares and promenades, behi96. It is a quiet area, full of families, little grocery stores and cafes. In fact, one can find some of the most historic, continually-operating cafes of Athens, gathering places of artists and intellectuals. Full of convenience stores and mini-markets, there is always somewhere to shop for needed items or for the preparation of a meal!
Pagrati was filled to the brim with unused smaller apartments, that took on life when renovated to serve as short-term lease properties, or to be sold. Its excellent location relatively to all major attractions of Athens make it a tourist magnet for short stays. Similarly, the same is true for business travellers who can be very close to business centres and conference halls when staying there.
Guide to the hip neighborhoods in other parts of Athens
An ancient neighbourhood that even Thucydides, the father of History, mentions in his writings. Today Kerameikos is more famous as Gazi, due to the gas refinery present there during much of the 20th century. Furthermore, it is a hotspot of nightlife, entertainment and culture. Many older buildings of the area are in use as theatres, cultural spaces and art schools. Newly constructed buildings serve as music halls and performance spaces for contemporary Greek music artists. All this give Kerameikos an artistic vibe.
Young actors & actresses renting cheap accommodation to be close to their schools and theatres. Entertainment-seekers crowding the place to hang-out in their favourite venues. A big presence of Athens vibrant LGBTQ community. Also, Kerameikos is the place of the “Technopolis”, the former gas refinery, which now serves as a municipal conference and exhibition space. All that, while very close to all other attractions through the “Kerameikos” Metro station of the Blue line. The Blue line connects Kerameikos directly with the heart of Athens and also the Athens airport, without the need for change!

Following the artistic feel of the area, they are suitable for visual artists, actors, dancers etc. In addition, if you came to Athens to discover its ancient and contemporary culture, along with Psirri, this is the place to book your short stay. Also, if you are a student of art and you came to study in an art school, it is also for you.
A quiet, historicAthens. The first convenience stores in Athens opened in Petralona, creating the collective notion of the “friendly neighbourhood grocery store”. These family-owned businesses give it a distinctive feel, akin to an old black-and-white Greek family movie. It’s not a coincidence actually that many beloved old movies that Greeks adore to this day, were set in Petralona. Petralona was the quintessential Athens family neighbourhood and many aspects of it survive today! In fact, Petralona is the hidden gem of Athens, an area many have not discovered, yet it is so close to everything.
A multitude of apartment buildings for families lay here, with large apartments, suitable buildings here are somewhat older, with some newer constructions providing better amenities.
Up-and-coming, colourful and with many selections of food and drink, Kallithea has it all. Midway through the centre of Athens and the coastal regions, Kallithea offers easy access to everywhere, through the Athens Railway, buses and trolleys. The outer parts of Kallithea are so close to Koukaki and the Acropolis that even an evening stroll can get you there. Large squares and green parks give the area a much-desired break from the urban landscape.
Kallithea Railway station connects it directly with the port of Piraeus and the Greek islands. Within Kallithea, bordering Faliro,ne of the modern landmarks of Athens. The SNFCC is home to the Athens State Opera and the National Library of Greece, plus a multitude of other facilities and parks. It is the site of hundreds of cultural events each year and a favorite place of relaxation for all Athenians.
Apartments in Kallithea are not different from that in other neighborhoods. There are both larger and smaller apartments, catering to different needs. Travelers in transit to or from the Greek islands can stay in Kallithea for a night. There they can indulge themselves with the sounds and tastes of the area. People who come to attend a cultural event at the Niarchos Foundation can also briefly stay there. Although there are not so many renovated apartments for short-term lease as in other areas, their number increases fast. The advantages of a stay there are so many that Kallithea will be the next booming neighborhood.
The “Sepolia” station of the Athens Metro brings you to Kolonos, another ancient neighborhood. Moreover, Kolonos was the birthplace of the ancient playwright Sophocles and immortalized in “Oedipus at Colonus”, his last tragedy. Here, Plato created his “Academy”, the famous school of philosophy to educate his students. The ruins of the complex are here to this day! All this make Kolonos one of the most historic areas of Europe and with global significance.
A residential area, Kolonos has individual houses and Athens apartments in newer buildings for short-term or longer stays. The area is quite open, with shorter buildings and a lot of greenery, that give it a pleasant feel, not reminiscent of the rest of the center of Athens, but more of a village. Hence, its location is perfect for those who want a quieter stay, but also to be near major landmarks of the past and the present. The status as a lower middle-class neighborhood makes the local inhabitants friendlier and more open towards travelers.

(depending on the level of membership you choose)hen we started our garden we got a bunch of side looks because the idea of growing things in containers is different here in the country. My hubby and I and the kids have worked hard to tend to our container patches and are now reaping the fruit of our labor. For our first year at learning how to grow our own food in anything that has shape, we have been bountiful.
We started container gardening really because of my hubby’s back. He built a raised bed on wheels that nests corn and strawberries so we don’t have to bend down. Not exactly on the simple side of living but it works great for now.
The perspective view of life that says God matters, family matters and the legacy we leave for people through Christ matters. Take away the distractions of the internet, social media, and the need to be in the know or in with the Jones’ and you will find that there is a life of meaning out there waiting to take you on adventure and the avenue of art.

The conquest of Southeast Asia by the Japanese Imperial Army is one facet of the 20th century that is difficult to justify. As a flight cadet, I remember reading a poem by Chris Purser. It reads, "Fight with hand or sword, fight as one against one, fight with honor and grace, and you will gain glory and love without disgrace. ."
In addition, the 37th Infantry Division under Major Gen RS Beighter and Ist Cavalry Division under Major Gen Vernon D Nudge after landing at San Fabian on 27 Jan were on its way to capture Manila. McArthur while retreating had declared Manila an 'open city' so that the city is spared damage and destruction. The Japanese did not follow the lead of McArthur and decided to defend it. There was however a definite difference in the opinion of the Japanese commanders.


Take Criminal Charges in Littleton Seriously or Risk Your Future
Littleton, Colorado has many things going for it.
Proximity to Denver. A commitment to the arts with the Littleton Symphony Orchestra and Voices West. Healthy economic prospects and a solid job market. A cost of living that’s basically on par with the national average. Not only quality schools, but a good continuing education system. It has placed on “best city” lists for sites like WalletHub and Livability.
However, if youWalletHub ranking, something stands out: Littleton is by far the lowest ranked for safety out of any city in the 99th percentile. While the area is far from being a criminal hotbed, law enforcement officials here definitely keep busy. In fact, in terms of crimes per square mile, Littleton is almost triple the national median and nearly double that of Colorado.
Not surprisingly, local officials would rather this was not the case, so they have no hesitation about prosecuting people to the full extent of the law as a way of deterring future crime. As a criminal attorney who has worked with people in Littleton and other parts of the Denver metropolitan area for years, Vernon Ready has seen these types of tactics on numerous occasions.
To protect your rights and your future, you need to put together the back against charges. Otherwise, even seemingly minor run-ins with the law in Littleton can lead to severe consequences, such as jail time, high fines, and more.
To Vernon Ready, the Most Important Littleton Charges Are Yours
Choosing the right lawyer is an incredibly important – and incredibly tough – decision. Do you go with the person who went to the best law school? Has the most awards? Someone who has a seemingly endless list of cases that they have won?
Those things are important, but they are not necessarily what is most important. Why? Because almost all criminal attorneys are smart and well-educated. If they have been doing the job for long enough, most have racked up a number of wins and awards as well.
What really sets one lawyer apart from another – and gives you the best chance at a positive outcome – is finding someone willing to give you and your case the care and attention necessary. Far too many Denver-area attorneys focus on quantity over quality, taking on lots of clients and speeding through them,e.
That is not how Vernon Ready does things, and his clients appreciate that. How does he work?
Will not back down against law enforcement.
Cops and state’s attorneys have one job: secure convictions. Because of this, they often use tactics designed to frighten, delay, or otherwise diminish your ability to protect yourself. Many bend the law as far as they possibly can without breaking it to do this.
Sometimes, though, they go too far. Worse, if you do not have someone by your side who knows the law and is paying close attention, they will most likely get away with it.
Vernon Ready goes out of his way to ensure that does not happen to his clients. He possesses a clear understanding of police processes and requirements, and he is not afraid to call law enforcement officials out when they step over the line. of keeping a g aisle, because at times, their willingness to work with you can make or break a case.
Steady and determined.
Most real court cases do not feature surprise last-minute evidence or 11th hour twists and turns that change the entire outcome. What usually matters most is putting in the work consistently right from the beginning.
Tracking down favorable evidence. Putting together a strong argument and continuing to build on it. Thinking about the various lines of argument the prosecution is likely to make and coming up with ways to counter those arguments.
This is how Vernon Ready approaches cases. By diving into them and turning over every possible stone until your legal options have been completely exhausted.
Really listens and really cares.
One of the hardest parts of being a criminal lawyer is working with people at what is likely the lowest point of their life. Vernon Ready always keeps this in mind. He strives to treat his clients with compassion and understanding – in other words, he treats you like a person, not a case.
When you sit down for awhatever concerns you may have, and what you are hoping for from him. He will do his best to help you understand the law, your charges, potential consequences, and the options available to you.
Also, because he knows that questions and fears do not always strictly adhere to schedules, Mr. Ready always provides his personal cell phone number to all his clients. This way, you can contact him whenever something arises. Even if he is not immediately available, he always returns calls by the end of the following business day.
Littleton Charges Vernon Ready Can Help You With
In his years of practicing law in and around Littleton, Vernon Ready has taken on all kinds of cases, and he is able to help you with a variety of criminal charges, including:
This list is not exhaustive. If you do not notice your charge here, simply get in touch with our office, and we can let you know whether or not Mr. Ready is able to help.
The Sooner Vernon Ready Starts Battling Your Littleton Charges, the Greater Your Chances
The first few hours and days after an arrest or charge are some ofa criminal case. Without the presence of a lawyer, it is far more likely that police or prosecutors will get you to say or do something that can hurt you. Moreover, some kinds of evidence cannot be collected or used after a certain amount of time.
Beyond these things, delaying also serves to give the prosecution that much more of a head start on building a case against you, and decreases the time that your own lawyer will ultimately have.
Avoid these problems. Get in touch with Ready Law today by filling out our online case review form, calling 720-201-3802, or emailing vready@ready-law.com.

Car Designed By Bicycle Company Is Return To Motoring's Roots
Biomega's SIN electric car is due to go into production in 2021.
Danish bicycle company Biomega has designed an electric car. The SIN – named by the firm for the “contemporary urban sprawl of Singapore” – iand was unveiled at the China International Import Expo which started yesterday in Shanghai.
Biomega founder Jens Martin Skibsted said: “ ... the [electric SIN] is the largest,he concept car – due for release in 2021 – features a “n,” says a statement from the design-led firm.
While many may believe it odd that a bicycle company has designed a car it’s actually a return to motoring’s historical roots. A great deal of bicycling technology went into the earliest motor cars. Carl Benz’s Patent-Motorwagen of 1885-6, considered by some to be the first true automobile, was a motorized two-seater tricycle made from parts sourced from Germany’s largest bicycle shop. The critical ires – were from bicycles. If a paternity test were possible, it could be shown that pioneer automobiles were coursing with cycle DNA.
And the connections do not end with technology, there were also key transfers of capital, people and know-how. Much of the money, many of the individuals and plenty of the factories that were involved with kick-starting motoring came from the world of cycling. The cyclists and motorists of the late 1890s and early 1900s were not from separate tribes – they were often the exact same individuals.
Many motor marques – including Cadillac, Rapid Motor Vehicle Co (later GMC) and Chevrolet – had bicycling beginnings.

Bicycles, in the form we know them today – that is, chain-driven, with two equal sized wheels, and a ‘diamond’ frame – had only the merest head start over motor cars. John Kemp Starley’s Rover Safety bicycle was unveiled in a marquee next to London’s Blackfriars Bridge in January 1885 at Britain’s main annual bicycle exhibition. Later the same year, in Germany, Carl Benz used cycle technology developed by John Kemp Starley’s uncle to make the world’s first motor car. “The early efforts of the German inventors, Gottlieb Daimler, and Karl Benz, are in reality a part of cycle history,” said a histori953. “Directly and indirectly the bicycle had a decided influence on the introduction and ready acceptance of the automobile.”
American automotive historian James Flink wrote in 1988 that “No preceding technological innovation – not even the internal combustion engine –” On a similar note, his countryman George Dragone, an automotive auctioneer, said in 2007 that
Cycle manufacturers became automobile manufacturers in France, Germany, and the U.K. In America, the Ford Motor Company (Henry Ford’s third stab at the auto business) was incorporated in 1903. In 1911, the company opened a car factory in Manchester, England. By 1913, the factory was making 7,310 cars each year. The next biggest car marques were all former (or current) bicycle makers. Wolseley produced 3,000 cars in 1913; Humber 2,500; Rover 1,800; and Sunbeam 1,700. By 1929, Morris – a firm that sprang from a bicycle shop – accounted for half of all the cars made in Britain.
Henry Ford and his bicycle
William Morris – later ennobled as Lord Nuffield for his philanthropy and contribution to the British economy – had been a successful racing cyclist in his youth (even racing his bicycle against fellow cyclist Lionel Martin, the co-founder of Aston Martin). Despite being one of the wealthiest men in Britain in the 1930–50s, he didn’t flaunt his wealth. His office was decorated plainly, the only ostentation being a cabinet containing his most prized possessions: his cycling trophies. He remained proud of his cycling roots and, in the 1950s, it was well known that Britain’s most successful motor magnate had started his automotive empire from the experience gained from his three Oxford bicycle shops.
There are more than sixty motor marques with bicycling beginnings, including Opel of Germany, Peugeot of France and Rover of Great Britain. Opel was founded by a cycle manufacturer, and the motor company was run by Adam Opel’s cycle racing sons. Armand Peugeot’s first road vehicle was a high-wheeler, ‘Le Grand Bi’ built in 1882 (the company he founded would make both cars and bicycles until 1926 when Cycles Peugeot split from the motor-car company). The Rover car company sprang from the Rover Cycle Company that made the pioneering Rover Safety bicycle of the 1880s.
Motorcar manufacturers benefitted from products, production techniques, materials, innovations, and tooling either developed specifically for cycles or perfected for them. Some of the technological developments used on the first motor cars – such as differential gearing – were lifted from tricycles. And, in the late 1880s, from a quadricycle came the knuckle-bone axle, a key development used on many of the early American motor cars, and which, before his patent ran out in 1907, made Sterling Elliott a wealthy man. Elliott, whom Thomas Edison called a ‘genius,’ was a bicycle magazine publisher and, in 1896 cycling organization. Elliott’s knuckle-bone concept was developed for a four-wheel cycle designed for his wife.

Historical Society of Martin County, Florida.
Some of the developments adopted by the automobile industry from the cycle industry were much smaller than knuckle-bone heads: ball bearings, for instance. Tungsten steels, developed in the 1870s, were used by the new and innovative cycle industry, creating stronger, more precisely engineered ball bearings. Cycle companies did not invent bearings, balled or otherwise, but their use on cycles led to significant advances in the technology advances that wasn’t developed first in the cycle industry. Many of the other key innovations – from electric resistance welding to steel-frame tubing, and to metal-stamping technology – were perfected by cycle companies before being adopted by emerging automobile companies (many of which were cycle companies). Arguably the greatest contribution cycling made to motoring was the pneumatic tire – this enabled motor cars to go faster and aided comfort, too. The modern pneumatic tire was invented for cycles, in 1888, by John Boyd Dunlop. Pneumatic tires, when fitted to Safety bicycles, led to a boom in cycle sales at the end of the 1880s. The first automobile pneumatic tire was made in 1895 by cycle tire makers Andre and Edouard Michelin.
Cycle industry experimentation in machining, steel hardening, manufacturing with aluminum, and achieving fine tolerances would prove to be transformational for the emerging automobile industry which, thanks to widespread cross-pollination between companies and engineers, allowed for a swift, seamless transfer of technologies from the innovative and then still profitable cycle industry to the fledgling and scarcely profitable automobile industry.
The motor car was not ‘invented,’ or based on any single scientific breakthrough, but was, rather, an amalgam of earlier innovations. Had there been no cycle industry to spring from, the automobile industry might have never achieved critical mass. , and most were dismissive of the upstart automobile industry. Critically, carriages were made from wood, while many early automobiles – like bicycles – were made from steel and, later, aluminum.
Today, bicycles may be viewed by some as old-fashioned relics of a less technologically advanced era, but bicycles were at the cutting edge of industrial design in the last quarter of the nineteenth-century. According to a period cycling magazine, in , more than half of the 28,000 patents filed in 1896 were for improvements in cycles.
Those engineers and innovators who transferred from cycling to motoring kept on innovating and usually did so with no further contribution from the world of cycling. Technological developments that were crucial for the first motor cars – such as wire wheels and tubular steel frames – were quickly superseded by technologies better suited to motor cars as they became faster and more powerful.
Cycling and motoring – once joined at the hip – became separated and went their different ways. Yet now it seems the worlds of cycling and motoring are once again merging. As well as Biomega designing a car; General Motors has designed a bicycle. Interesting times.

Cycles have three characteristics, amplitude, time, and phase. They are often represented by a sine wave on a graph. Amplitude is the height of the wave, time is the cycle length which is usually measured from one low point to the next, and phase covers the location of the low point in time. If you have two waves, you can measure the phase difference by noting the time between the low point of one and the low point of the other. Of course, if the two waves do not have the same cycle length, then the phase difference will change over time.
There are six principles that can be applied to cycles, and these are called summation, harmonicity, synchronicity, proportionality, variation, and nominality. I’ll cover the meaning of each of them in turn.
The principle of summation states that you can derive all price movement by adding together all active cycles. Cycle theory states that price patterns are formed from the interaction of two or more different cycles. If you can determine which cycles are added together, then you can project this into the future by projecting each cycle than adding them together, and you should be able to tell the future trends.
The principle of harmonicity suggests that cycles are related by a small whole number. For instance, if there is a 20 day cycle then is likely that you can have a 10 day cycle or a 40 day cycle too.
The principle of synchronicity says that cycles tend to bottom at the same time. This can be applied to different length cycles, such as the 10 day, 20 day, and 40 day mentioned above, where the 10 and 20 would tend to bottom when the 40 day cycle does, but will also work where same length cycles are in different markets or applications. Going back to the opening paragraph, a low point in marriages will correspond with a low point in immigration and a low point in stock prices, according to the theory.
The principle of proportionality says that there is a relationship between the cycle period and the amplitude. If the cycle has a longer time span, the amplitude or height of the wave will also be larger.
The principle of variation is a statement that, despite the tendencies described above, cycles can vary from these principles and they are not rules.
The principle of nominality says that all markets, despite their differences, have an underlying set of common cycles, the longest being 18 years, and subsequent cycles halving in length. Despite the principle of harmonicity, the analysts say that there is a change from this pattern when you get to 4 1/2 years, and the next cycle length is 1 1/2 years, one third.


Frederick Dreier, Special for USA TODAY Sports, July 20, 2015 —
“It’s the options we have with Ryan that make him valuable,” said head coach Oscar Pareja. “It’s exciting to see him take this step up.”
“I’m probably at 90 percent of where I want to be,” Hollingshead said. k.”
While FC Dallas drafted him in 2013, Hollingshead quit soccer to start a branch of his church — the Chicago-based Harvest Bible Chapel — alongside his older brother, Scott, in their hometown of Sacramento.
Scott, 28, said he was hesitant to bring his little brother on board with the project.
“I tried to be careful with 1/8Ryan3/8 because I didn’t want to pull him away from soccer,” Scott Hollingshead said. “People said it would be career suicide for him.”
Scott Hollingshead said his hesitation increased the following year after Ryan enjoyed a dominant senior season at UCLA, scoring seven goals and recording eight assists. The breakout year caught the eye of MLS recruiters, including scouts from FC Dallas. But by mid-2013, Ryan had made his mind up to forego a professional career.
Ryan skipped the MLS combine and the draft to complete volunteer work in Haiti, but FC Dallas still chose him 20th in the second round. After visiting with the team that February, Ryan told Dallas officials the bad news.
“We had dreamed about the church, and in our plans it always included me,” Ryan said. “I knew what I was leaving behind.
“Moves I could make in my sleep in college — I couldn’t do them,” Hollingshead said. “I felt so slow.”
Hollingshead’s progression has not been without setbacks. He was replaced midway through the team’s May 9 victory against the Los Angeles Galaxy. Throughout the season, he’s battled with teammates Michael Barrios and Mauro Diaz for a starting spot.
Pareja said he never considered cutting Hollingshead, even when his form appeared shaky.
“To see the commitment Ryan had for God — that is very unique for me,” Pareja said. “For me, that value of personality is important.”


Are those ‘pros’ from home improvement sites actually vetted?
Khuge home services company Angi to find a registered contractor. But he never got one.
Angi is a merger between HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List. The company promises that “top-rated pros” will do the work on your project.
Brian needed contractors to paint walls and perform floor work for a client’s home. But that job was botched.
“The walls had to be sanded and retextured. And I don’t know how you goof up a paint job that bad. I think you know a little kid could do better,” says Brian.
And the workers never fixed the flooring. So, Brian spent $1,200 for the job and $2,000 more to make it right.
Brian checked to see if the person Angi hired was a registered contractor. And since he paid Angi for the project, he wanted to know if it, too, was registered.
“And so I go online. And their subcontractors are not licensed,” says Brian.
“We did not find them to be registered,” says Jesse Jameson, a Construction Compliance Specialist with Washington Labor and Industries.
That’s right. According to Jameson, the business which prides itself on “vetting pros” is in violation of state law itself.
“When they collect the money and send a contractor, that is the reason they need to be registered as a general contractor,” says Jameson (a type of insurance the state requires contractors to have) even if they had one. He’d have to file against Angi’s bond. But remember, they’re not registered.
“Consumers don’t have a contract with the person that comes to do the painting work. So they cannot, they do not have access to a bond,” says Jameson.
It appears Angi didn’t work fast enough. On January 26 Washington Labor and Industries sent a notice of infraction to the company for unregistered contracting.
Let’s make sure this is right. Nobody in Mr. Leavitt’s case is registered? Neither Angi or the person or persons who did the work? According to L&I’s Jameson, that’s correct.
Labor and Industries also faced another web giant running a similar platform: Amazon.
“We had similar discussions and Amazonyet received this citation from the state but take the matter very seriously. We do not think we have violated any state regulations and will proactively work with the state to resolve. "
This is important because registered contractors provide some cover – through bond and insurance - for consumers.
“They will have a workers comp account with labor and industries to protect the workers in case they are injured on your property,” says Jameson.
Angi does has something that’s called a “Happiness Guarantee.” It covers up to $50,000 in damages in some cases. And it covered the charges in Brian’s case.
Bottom line, go to ProtectMyHome.Net. It’s Labor and Industry’s site where you can verify a contractor’s registration, be it a billion-dollar business or a laborer on Craigslist.
According to Labor and Industries, Angi has 30 days to respond to the infraction. We’ll keep you updated.
As for whether Angi really does check contractor registrations - the answer is confusing.
We’ve gone through their terms over and over. In some cases, it appears they do check. In some cases, it appears they don’t. They say they will go back and check if there’s a problem.
So the bottom line is this: you need to check for yourself. Because when it’s your cash and your home, the buck really does stop with you.


The Corsairs out-shot the Buccaneers 47-27 during the contest. Sophomore goalkeeper Pete Foley made five saves and junior goalkeeper Andrew Weaver, a Westport High grad, made two saves to help UMD secure the win.

Offensively, we dictated the pace of the game and defensively we shut down their best players. It was a good quality win for us, and I'm excited about our possibilities."
Weaver also closed out Saturday's UMD win over visiting Norwich, 13-8, at Cressy Field. Six Corsairs recorded goals during the contest. Once again, Brett and Arsenault led the way, each netting four goals with an assist. Niden scored two goals while sophomore defender Larry Gilvarg and freshman midfielders Justin Lawless and James Smith added a goal apiece.
