Mimosa Christian Counseling Center Sponsors May as National Mental Health Month – click to read
Mimosa Christian Counseling Center, with locations in Morganton and Rutherford College, recently observed its ninth anniversary and celebrated May as National Mental Health Month.
Founded 2004 as a Burke County non-profit Christian outreach with mission focus for mental health counseling, MCCC has worked with nearly 1800 individuals and families in restoring hope and relationships while coping with life's challenges.
Mimosa Christian Counseling serves all of Burke County, and a thirty mile area including, Catawba, Caldwell and McDowell with five state certified specialized counselors led by Jane Rawson Ph.D. as Clinical Coordinator.
In remarks before Morganton City Council, MCCC representatives stated that the need for ease of access and affordable counseling has never been greater, nor more in the forefront of community and national news as underscored by recent tragedies. Yet, one in four persons will forego counseling due to public stigmas about mental health issues, or the lack of affordability, or no traditional insurance and coverage.
Mental health issues arise in many forms. Many are family or social based in origin, others may be related to problems with factors having a true medical, health origin, or component.
Rich or poor, young or adult, Mimosa Christian Counseling seeks to assist those who can benefit from its focus on preventing and eliminating anxiety and distress.
MCCC receives no government assistance. It strongly relies on private donations, church and community support, and grants to help meet the cost of therapy provided.
Over 30% of individuals seen by MCCC require some financial assistance provided through its donation funded 501c3 Mimosa Scholarship Fund.
In closing remarks at Council, "almost everyone knows of someone, friend or family, who has suffered with mental health issues of varying types and degrees of severity.
Mimosa Christian Counseling joins with others in the mental health community to ask citizen support of May as National Mental Health Month".

Best craft beer bars in Tokyo
Great Tokyo beer bars for microbrew enthusiasts
Photo: Gueorgui Tcherednitchenko
By Time Out Tokyo Editors | Posted: Thursday May 17 2018
For drinkers who've foresworn a life of Sapporo and Super Dry, Tokyo is a much more welcoming place than it used to be. It's still worth making a pilgrimage to the legendary Popeye in Ryogoku, but you can now find Japanese and import microbrews on tap at countless bars around the city – and some places are even starting to brew their own. Whether you're new to the scene or a hardcore boozehound chasing that next hop high, it's hard to go wrong with the following Tokyo craft beer bars. And if you're looking for more drink options, check our recommendations for the best Tokyo bars.
Reviews by James Hadfield and the Time Out Tokyo team
icon-location-pin Ryogoku
Though it's long been regarded as the essential destination for beer enthusiasts in Tokyo, Popeye actually started life as a Western-style izakaya. Its transformation into a specialist craft beer haunt has been slow but spectacular: it now boasts an unrivaled 70+ beers on tap, all kept in impecable condition and most of them produced by Japanese breweries. They even have their very own small brewery these days.
There's table seating for groups, but the most fun to be had is at the bar, where the friendly and knowledgable staff entice drinkers with unfamiliar tipples. It isn't the cheapest place in town, and the stodgy food selection falls a long way short of the quality of the beer – but if it's the latter you're after, Popeye is hard to beat.
Nakameguro Taproom
icon-location-pin Nakameguro
Having opened a full-scale craft beer empire since, the first Tokyo pub opened by the Numazu-based Baird Brewing Company is very relaxed: all brick walls and wood panelling, with a long central table that's perfect for communal drinking. It's primarily an outlet for Baird's own brews, which tend to be pretty damn fine: we're particular fans of the Teikoku IPA and Angry Boy Brown Ale, available year-round (¥1,000 for a US pint).
Check the blackboard above the bar for guest beers from the likes of Rogue and Brewdog, and keep an eye out for Baird's own seasonal specials. Don't miss the New Haven-style pizzas either, and note that this is a non-smoking venue.
Delirium Café Tokyo
icon-location-pin Kasumigaseki
The first Tokyo outpost of Belgium's famed Delirium Café is located in the heart of the Kasumigaseki office district, meaning it's crawling with salarymen on most nights of the week. Though it can't hope to rival the 2,000-plus beer selection of its Brussels counterpart, it boasts upwards of 60 bottled varieties, with around a dozen available on tap. The food menu includes Belgian staples such as steamed mussels and carbonnade flamande beer stew alongside cured ham and Hokkaido venison.
Craftheads
icon-location-pin Shibuya
The sister shop of Kawasaki craft beer haven Sal's Bar isn't quite as snooty as its counterpart, though the atmosphere is more reminiscent of a wine bar than a beer hall. The draft selection – a fairly equal split between American and Japanese microbreweries – gets served in 200ml and 350ml glasses that encourage drinkers to sample a wide variety, and it's the only place in town that serves bottled and draft beers from Indiana's Three Floyds Brewing.
Goodbeer Faucets
One of the boldest ventures in Tokyo's craft beer boom, this spacious, chrome-and-concrete bar occupies a prime slice of real estate just across the street from the Bunkamura in central Shibuya. It's the work of Teruya Hori, a major player in the craft beer scene who runs online retailer Goodbeer and also built the bar's state-of-the-art tap system.
With over 40 craft beers on draught – predominantly Japanese and American microbrews – Goodbeer Faucets has one of the largest selections in the capital, and the calibre of the menu has improved a lot since it first opened. Keep an eye on their Twitter account if you want to catch some of the more unusual offerings, as they tend to go quickly. Pints cost ¥200 less during happy hour (Mon-Thu 4pm-8pm; Sun 3pm-8pm), and the food menu is also worth investigating.

Brussels Beer Project Shinjuku
icon-location-pin Yoyogi
This Belgian-style beer pub is a copy of its original Brussels location, with a little bit of Japanese flair thrown in for that local feel. The changing craft beer lineup ranges from ubiquitous Belgian beers to a few Belgian-Japanese collaborations – think a yuzu-infused weissbier for example, brewed in Kyoto with guidance from the Belgians.
Staff are knowledgeable and always up for a chat, while prices are similar to those at other craft or import beer pubs in the area (from around ¥850 for a regular glass). Their food menu is worth a gander too. BBP is set to hold beer-centric events in the future, so keep an eye on their Facebook page for updates.
Ushitora
icon-location-pin Shimokitazawa
Shimokitazawa's high temple of craft beer is actually two shops: Ushitora One is a sit-down affair (reminiscent of Ryogoku's Popeye) with a food menu that stretches from sauerkraut to shepherd's pie, while Ushitora Two is a cozy standing bar that serves up kushiage and oden alongside the drinks. Between them, they've got 35 beers on tap, almost all of them from Japanese breweries and some of them practically impossible to find elsewhere. Both bars are completely non-smoking.
Craft Beer Market
icon-location-pin Shinbashi
Planted right in the middle of one of Tokyo's busiest office districts, Craft Beer Market caused a minor sensation when it opened in 2011. Not without due cause, either: with all of its beers priced at a flat ¥780 per US pint, the 40-seater pub is undercutting the competition by a few hundred yen per drink. Choose from 30 draught beers, including local heavyweights like Baird, Aqula and Iwate Kura, plus the occasional imported microbrew.
They've also expanded across the city in droves, with locations in anywhere from Awajicho and Jimbocho to Nihonbashi, Koenji and Kichijoji, all of which have their own unique (and decent) food line-up.
DevilCraft
icon-location-pin Nihonbashi
Opened by a trio of American homebrew enthusiasts back in 2011, DevilCraft immediately stood out on the increasingly crowded Tokyo craft beer scene, for a simple reason: it was getting noticed because of its food. While you can always count on finding some top-grade offerings amongst the 15 draft beers on offer – sometimes including contract-brewed recipes by the owners themselves – it feels as though many customers are going for the Chicago-style deep dish pizzas as much as the beer.
icon-location-pin Sakura-Shinmachi
Easily one of the most stylish additions to the Tokyo craft beer circuit, Lush Life looks more like a high-end dining bar than a pub, all soft-lit pale wood surfaces and minimal decor, with an ornate siphon coffee maker perched at one end of the bar. There are a dozen beers on tap, including both Japanese and international microbrews and some rare-in-Tokyo selections. The food menu looks considerably less interesting at first, but even run-of-the-mill offerings like beer-battered onion rings and peperoncino spaghetti are done with real flair.
The Aldgate
Welcome to that rarest of Tokyo British pubs: good music, no ersatz trappings, no chain-smoking salarymen, and a good range of beers and ales on tap, with regulars like Old Speckled Hen, Yona Yona Real Ale and Baird IPA jostling alongside a selection of guest tipples from Japanese and foreign microbreweries. The kitchen's baked potato with beans, toad in the hole and fish and chips will have the limey contingent yearning for home, and the results are invariably tasty, even if they aren't always entirely accurate.
Watering Hole
In 1998, Ichiri Fujiura became the first non-American to win the Homebrewer of the Year award – too bad that homebrewing is actually illegal in Japan. 14 years on, the suds enthusiast got the last laugh when he opened a craft beer pub that was to house his very own 'nano' brewery. The Tharsis Ridge Brewing Company project never came to anything, but Fujiura's bar nonetheless continues to serve up to 21 draft microbrews (a couple of them hand-pumped) from Japan and overseas.
Vivo! Beer + Dining Bar
icon-location-pin Ikebukuro
One of the forerunners of the Tokyo craft beer boom, it's been almost a decade since Vivo! both relocated and dramatically increased the number of brews on tap after it first opened in Ikebukuro in 2003. The generic decor of its basement location leaves a bit to be desired, but there's no faulting the selection of domestic and imported microbrews – which (unusually) you can order in both US and UK pint glasses.
Beer Cafe Vertere
icon-location-pin Tama area
Step out of Okutama Station and you'll soon come across this traditional Japanese house with a pretty garden. There's a river running down in the valley just in front of the building, completing the beatific scene. It's home to a beer hall that serves five kinds of homebrews, including a fruity session IPA and a light golden ale. They've got their own hop field a 20-minute drive away too, so it's all very local.
Having a glass in the garden while listening to the sound of the river and admiring the trees around you will make your clock tick slower. Those visiting Okutama for rafting or hiking will want to keep Vertere in mind – even if it's only for a quick break while waiting for the train home.
Koenji Bakushu Kobo
icon-location-pin Koenji
Youthful brewmaster Kakyu Nomura quit his job as an advertising executive to open this brewpub in 2009, serving his 'tezukuri' (handmade) beer in a cosy, wood-decked interior that he also made himself. There are usually four or five ales on tap, starting from as little as ¥390 for a glass tankard, and you're unlikely to have the same drink twice – the recipes are constantly being tweaked, with a batch number to indicate which one you're getting.
Swan Lake Pub Edo
icon-location-pin Kyobashi
One of Japan's most established microbreweries, Swan Lake marked its 15th anniversary by opening this dedicated pub in May 2012, just a short stumble from Tokyo Station, a move that has sparked a veritable citywide chain since. The Niigata brewery's own beers – including its award-winning Amber Ale and Porter – are available in hearty UK pint glasses for ¥950 a pop, and you should definitely try the barley wine while you're at it, though the selections from other breweries feel a little overpriced in comparison.
Shimbashi Dry-Dock
Tucked under the railway tracks near Shinbashi Station, the nautically themed Dry-Dock is certainly one of Tokyo's most distinctive beer joints, with a sunken bar area, portholes for windows and a ship's wheel on the counter. It's also got some unorthodox ideas, not least an enthusiasm for Asahi Super Dry that some microbrew enthusiasts might consider tantamount to heresy.
Harajuku Taproom
icon-location-pin Harajuku
It may seem like overkill to include two of Baird Brewing's pubs in this list, but the Harajuku Taproom isn't merely a clone of its Nakameguro sibling. Cosier by far, and with much of the seating clustered around the bar area, it's probably the more welcoming option for lone drinkers or couples, while the menu favours izakaya-style offerings like kushiyaki skewers, tamagoyaki egg rolls and gyoza.
Ant 'n Bee
icon-location-pin Roppongi
There are always twenty or so draught Japanese microbrews on offer at this compact basement bar, which sits right on the main drag in central Roppongi, with the likes of Sankt Gallen, Shiga Kogen and Iwate Kura well represented. Other places may be cheaper, granted, but there's only one bar we know of in Tokyo where you can order a round of Daisen G Weizen at 6am in the morning. Above-average food, friendly staff and free Wi-Fi add to the appeal.
Shinshu Osake Mura
It's hard to imagine spending a whole evening in this bare-bones shrine to Nagano booze, but it'd be a good place to start one. This standing bar across the street from Shinbashi Station stocks a wide range of Nagano-made sake and (mainly bottled) craft beer – and it serves them at retail prices. Expect everything from the ubiquitous Yona Yona Ale to Shiga Kogen IPA and Oh! La! Ho! golden ale, plus a couple of brews on tap.

Q: Copying data from 1D array to 2D array using pointers in C? I'm practicing pointers and still confused on how to manipulate 2d arrays with pointer operations.
I want to be able to copy oneDim into twoDim using pointers. How does this work ?
int main() {

    char oneDim[] = "string of tests";
    char twoDim[2][8];
    char *pOne, *pTwo;

    return 0;
}

A: It is not clear how you are going to copy the one-dimensional array in the two-dimensional array. One approach is the following
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
    char oneDim[] = "string of tests";
    char twoDim[2][8];
    char *pOne, *pTwo;

    pOne = oneDim;
    pTwo = twoDim[0];

    memcpy( pTwo, pOne, sizeof( twoDim[0] ) - 1 );
    pTwo[sizeof( twoDim[0] ) - 1] = '\0';

    pTwo = twoDim[1];
    pOne += sizeof( twoDim[0] ) - 1;

    strncpy( pTwo, pOne, sizeof( twoDim[1] ) - 1);
    pTwo[sizeof( twoDim[1] ) - 1] = '\0';

    printf( "\"%s\"\n", twoDim[0] );
    printf( "\"%s\"\n", twoDim[1] );

    return 0;
}

The output is
"string "
"of test"

Take into account that word "tests" was not copied entirely because there is not enough characters in the two-dimensional array when this approach is used.
The other approach is straightforward.:)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
    char oneDim[] = "string of tests";
    char twoDim[2][8];
    char *pOne, *pTwo;

    pOne = oneDim;
    pTwo = twoDim[0];

    strcpy( pTwo, pOne );

    printf( "\"%s\"\n", pTwo );
    return 0;
}

The output is
"string of tests"

If you may not use standard C string functions then for example call
    memcpy( pTwo, pOne, sizeof( twoDim[0] ) - 1 );

can be substituted for loop
for ( size_t i = 0; i < sizeof( twoDim[0] ) - 1; i++ ) pTwo[i] = pOne[i];

Or your could write
while ( pTwo < twoDim[0] + sizeof( twoDim[0] ) - 1 ) *pTwo++ = *pOne++;
*pTwo = '\0';

In this case statement
    pOne += sizeof( twoDim[0] ) - 1;

has to be deleted.

Best Restaurant near Las Vegas Natural History Museum
August 27, 2019 /in News /by admin
Young and old alike delight in the wonders of the world on display at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum (900 Las Vegas Blvd. North), just a hop, skip, and a jump from our 24-hour Vegas Strip eatery here at Café Americano!
Introducing the Las Vegas Natural History Museum
Opened in 1991, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum is a Smithsonian Affiliate institution and one accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. It's open every day but Thanksgiving and Christmas Day from 9 AM to 4 PM (except for New Year's Day and Easter, when the museum opens at 11 AM).
It hosts a fantastic spread of exhibits basically guaranteed to catch and hold your interest, let alone the imaginations of any young museumgoers you've got in your charge. They include a formidable display of some of the "thunder lizards" that roamed Nevada during the Cretaceous—Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops included—in the Prehistoric Life Gallery. A perfect complement to that bygone menagerie is the Dinosaur Mummy CSI exhibit, which shows off the amazing mummified remains of a 23-foot-long hadrosaur nicknamed "Leonardo."
Ice Age beasties, meanwhile—including mammoth and camel remains collected here in the Las Vegas area—are on parade in the Prehistoric Mammals Gallery, while among the other natural-history dioramas is a lineup of native Silver State wildlife in the Wild Nevada Gallery.
Treasures of Egypt offers 4,000 square feet of astonishing antiquities; the spread includes a rare authorized replica of Tutankhamun's tomb.
There's hands-on learning and fun on tap in the Cox Charities Young Scientist Center at the museum, the interactive exhibits of which cover a lot of territory.
Did we mention there are live critters at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, not just fossilized and mounted specimens? You can nab up-close looks at everything from sharks and rays to tarantulas and Burmese pythons here, too.
Special Exhibit Currently on Display: Dinosaurs Take Flight
Through September 15th, you can delve deeper into dinos in the Dinosaurs Take Flight special exhibit, which focuses on the feathered Archaeopteryx and the rise of modern birds.
Make It a Double-Header With the Las Vegas Museum of Natural History & Café Americano
All those toothy dinos, long-horned bison, and Egyptian artifacts are sure to drum up quite the appetite, and we're ready to satisfy it here at Café Americano! We're open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and we'd love to host you for a post-museum feast here in the main lobby of Caesars Palace.

Bloomberg gives Goldman Sachs a pep talk
Mayor Bloomberg made an unannounced visit to Goldman Sachs' downtown Manhattan headquarters yesterday to deliver a pep talk to employees after a former executive ripped apart the storied investment bank in a scathing public resignation that went viral.
"The mayor stopped by to make clear that the company is a vital part of the city's economy, and the kind of over-the-top and unfair attacks on one of the city's biggest employers in the city's biggest industry that we're seeing can eventually hurt all New Yorkers," said mayoral spokesman Stu Loeser.
Bloomberg spent about an hour in the Goldman tower across from the World Trade Center site, going from desk to desk to chat with traders and division heads.
Afterwards, the mayor and Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein headed downstairs to the local Shake Shack to grab a couple of burgers, surrounded by students from nearby Stuyvesant HS.
Loeser said the idea for the personal show of support was entirely the mayor's own.
"He likes to defend people who are under [unfair] fire," said Loeser. "He wanted to tell them, `You're valued. You and your company are an important part of this city."
The mayor's defense of the company is consistent with his repeated statements that New York needs to maintain a thriving financial industry, which provides a disproportionate share of the city's tax revenues.
Goldman was rattled to its 143-year foundation Wednesday when Greg Smith, a London-based executive director, announced in a New York Times op-ed piece that he was quitting after 12 years because the culture of the company had turned toxic and that profits were being placed ahead of the interests of clients.
Wall Street insiders said Smith's screed cast a pall not just on his former bank but across the entire financial sector, which is still trying to shake its "fat cat" label.
"I think we are beginning to enter a new political round of attacking the banks," said Dick Bove, a financial analyst at Rochdale Securities. "There's a desire to continue to treat banks — and Goldman is the lead name — as a political foil."
At Goldman, banker sources groused that Smith's letter forced them to spend valuable time on Wednesday and yesterday defending themselves.
Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned employees against taking advantage of Goldman's situation.
"I want to be clear that I don't want anyone here to seek advantage from a competitor's alleged issues or hearsay — ever," Dimon said in an e-mail. "It's not the way we do business."
Other executives took a different tack, aiming to differentiate themselves from the much-maligned Wall Street franchise.
"I think that it is important that you are aware of this article and understand the differences between what it says about Goldman and what and who we are here at Oppenheimer," wrote Oppenheimer & Co. CEO Albert Lowenthal on Wednesday morning.
"We do not trade against [our clients] and have not built a firm around a proprietary trading book that requires our clients to lose in order for us to win," the Oppenheimer chief's letter continued.

In January the Scandinavian Club of South East Valley hosted exchange students from Scandinavia. It is always an evening of interest for all who attend as we listen to the experience of young people attending school in our country. They also shared some of the differences of education and culture between their countries and ours. The meeting was well attended with people from SunBird among those in attendance.
The club will celebrate their heritage at the dinner meeting on Sunday, February 21 in the Arizona Room at Sun Lakes Country Club. This is a wonderful opportunity for those of Scandinavian heritage to share their treasured artifacts. Photos are always a popular item. If you have some from your trips to Scandinavia please consider sharing them with us. Tables will be set aside on which they can be displayed. Be sure to properly tag your artifacts/photos, etc. so they can be easily identified. A number of Danish plates have been donated to the club. They will be available for purchase at the February meeting.
Our speaker for the evening will be Mr. Svein Jenshus, a native of Norway. After immigrating to the United States he had a successful career in the Seattle area. He has authored a book and describes himself as a stand-up comedian and somewhat an expert on Viking history, as well as the Stone Age in Scandinavia and Europe. Svein now resides in Sun Lakes with his wife Liv. We look forward to him sharing his experience as an immigrant and how he came to leave his homeland. Of interest as well will be his experience in the United States.
We always look forward to dinner as we celebrate our heritage, but we first begin the evening with a social hour at 5:00 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. At 7:00 p.m. Mr. Jenshus will address the club. Our all-inclusive dinner (that includes coffee and tip) is $15 for members who have paid the annual dues of $15. Dinner for non-members and guests is $20. Reservations for dinner must be made no later than Monday, February 15. Reservations may be made at our website at scanclubsev.weebly.com. Once you are on our home page look for CLICK HERE under MAKE YOUR RESERVATION FOR FEBRUARY. Simply fill in the required information on the reservation form and click on Submit. You can also make a reservation by calling Sue Jordan at 480-603-6015.

Work experience - Full time 20 months, Internship 3 years (20 months pre-graduation & 16 months post-graduation) - all in Mumbai, India. No international exposure.
I want to pursue full-time MBA (2 year/1 year). I am considering either US/Canada, mainly Canada (Singapore - last option). Also, only if I do not get into some good MBA b-school, I will consider Masters in Finance (again last option).
Need help in finding a good b-school with the given score and Work-ex.
Will be happy to provide any further details.
Thanks for sharing your profile. You mentioned wanting to attend a "good" program, your MBA may prove a bit of a problem. Any consideration to retaking the GMAT?
Thanks for the reply VeritasPrepDozie.
No, I am not considering retaking the exam. I have sent you a pm regarding the same.
I saw that you are not intending to retake the exam, but you may want to reconsider that decision. The main reason is that if your main objective is to go abroad and get employed and get a sponsored for a visa, there is a clear correlation between school ranking and your ability to find a job. A 620 GMAT is quite low. And even more so for an Indian candidate.
If you still don't want to retake, then yes, you can still apply to plenty of schools out there be they MBAs or MFAs, but you want to be sure to compose a school list that will give you the best possible chances of gainful employment.
Thank you for the valuable information JonAdmissionado. I will keep in mind about the employment chances while selecting the schools.
VeritasPrepDozie - as a career, I want to get into managerial kind of jobs for first few years and later may think of entrepreneurship. Want to advance my career in finance (along with management skills). Study for not more than 2 years in an English speaking country which offers work visa as well so that I can recover the cost of study by working in the same country and gradually settle there.


Thank you to everyone for a great turn out on our 1st week back! We had amazing projects linked up and some new people who joined the challenge!
You have until October 24th by 6:00PM (eastern) time to link up.

Why you should ask this health question!
Are you asking the right health question? Sometimes when stuck on a problem we gain new insight by asking different questions. Eric Nelson found that considering a different question resulted in relief from an infection – an experience he shares in his September 11, 2017 article in Community Digital News: "What should be the top health question in every state?" The first of the article is below but please click the link at the end to read the conclusion.
Granted, it may seem silly asking a question to which we already know – or at least think we know – the answer. But let's assume for the moment that we don't. And let's assume, too, that whatever answer we arrive at might have some impact on our health.
Some years ago, I found myself considering this very question. I had a painful infection that made it difficult to walk. Rather than picking up whatever remedy might have been available at the local pharmacy, I decided to pray about the situation, as is my practice as a Christian Scientist.
What came to mind almost immediately was a reminder of what I'd learned from my study of the Bible, that I was an expression of God, of divine Spirit – completely safe, completely pure. The problem was, there appeared to be a considerable disconnect between what I was hearing from God, divine Mind, and what my body was telling me. I knew then that I had to decide which account felt more real, more substantial to me; whether I was willing to see my genuine self as being material or spiritual.
I decided to go with "spiritual," an inspired choice, I felt, that ultimately turned the tide for me mentally and led to a relatively quick, complete, and permanent healing. I might add that ever since, I've noticed the beneficial impact this divine assurance of my purity continues to have, not only on my body, but also on my relationships with others.
Often when I share stories like this with others, the response I get is something along the lines of, "Well, that just goes to show the power of positive thinking." While I appreciate the sentiment, I don't agree.


But it will require more active and coordinated efforts by cycling advocates to concentrate public opinion and generate the political will required for bigger changes. The changing context provides an opportunity to change the conversation about cycling in Ontario and to build a broader consensus on the benefits of Bike-Friendly initiatives.
We aim to collect as many candidate signatures as possible and post an updated list of all candidates who sign the Pledge so that supporters of Active Transportation will know where their candidates stand.
The Active Communities Pledge is non-partisan. It does not support or oppose any individual candidate. It aims to educate individual candidates, consolidate support for a Bicycle Friendly agenda and share the results with voters and the public.
The campaign will build the skills and capacity of cycling advocates to design and participate in coordinated initiatives.
Take the Active Communities Pledge! That is a small but powerful first step.
Share the Pledge with your family and friends. Let them know you have signed the Pledge, and ask them to sign too! When you sign the Pledge, you have the opportunity to share the activecommunitiespledge.ca link by email, as well as Facebook and Twitter.
Ask your municipal candidates to sign the pledge in person at all-candidates' meetings, at their office, or by emailing them. We've put together a template for a short, personal email here to make this vital step even easier. For tips on how to find candidates in your community, check out the Take Action section of this website.
What is the Active Communities Pledge about?
Cycling and other forms of Active Transportation contribute to healthy communities in many different ways. They produce individual health benefits, reduce traffic congestion and improve the environment, and encourage economic development through cycling tourism. Our campaign is focused on promoting the benefits of cycling and turning public support into practical steps to build cycling infrastructure (paved shoulders, bike paths, and cycling routes) in every community across the province.
How does the ACP Campaign actually work?
Based on consultation with cycling advocates across Ontario, Share the Road has drafted the Active Communities Pledge, which asks Municipal candidates to endorse active transportation, support infrastructure projects that make cycling more comfortable and accessible, support legislative changes that make roads safer for all road users and support having their municipality designated a Bicycle Friendly Community.
Isn't the creation of infrastructure and programs for cycling costly? Isn't this a case of just one more demand for more spending in a period of fiscal restraint?
There are a couple of key points to make about funding to both build cycling infrastructure and promote cycling.
First of all, it's not that expensive. A tremendous amount of cycling infrastructure – bike lanes, paths, routes and signage – can be built for a fraction of the cost of building and maintaining automobile infrastructure.
Second, expanded cycling infrastructure generates a whole range of direct and indirect economic benefits, ranging from local and regional tourism to improved worker productivity – from higher local retail spend to lower health care costs. In fact, it's been shown that for every dollar invested in cycling infrastructure, the payback to the economy is between 4 and 5 dollars - an impressive return on investment by any standard!
But only a small proportion of people are really active or committed cyclist. Isn't your campaign asking for taxpayers money that will ultimately only serve a small minority?
Our research shows that a much higher proportion of Ontarians would cycle to work or for everyday errands like shopping, if they could do so in a safe and convenient way. In our 2014 polling, we found that 54% of Ontarians want to ride their bikes more often – a significant amount of pent-up demand! Creating more robust cycling infrastructure will increase the percentage of individuals who choose cycling over driving or using public transit.
But even if individuals never get on a bike themselves they will still benefit from increased cycling – it reduces car congestion, improves air quality, promotes healthy lifestyles, reduces the burden on the health care system, improves the local economy and creates more liveable communities for everyone. Sharing the road works equally well for cyclists and drivers.
What do you hope to accomplish through the Active Communities Pledge?
Through the ACP campaign we hope to contribute to greater public awareness and change the conversation about active transportation (cycling and walking) from why to how.
By focusing on political candidates we are aiming to educate future municipal representatives. After October 27th we expect to see hundreds of pro-cycling champions sitting in all municipalities and school boards across Ontario.
Throughout North America, the cycling movement has tremendous momentum. Cities and regions in both countries have undertaken major initiatives to develop cycling infrastructure which has yielded multiple benefits including stronger local economies, better talent retention, increased tourism revenues, healthier citizens and reduced costs due to automotive transportation. Investing in programs and projects that get residents cycling and walking makes good economic sense - studies have shown that every dollar invested in active transportation has a net benefit of $4-5 to the community. Local governments have also seen the benefits, with the City of Waterloo calculating that a 1% shift in mode share from cars to active transportation saving them an estimated $30 Million in road costs from 2013-2033.


Description Pathology is the specialized area of biomedical science that emphasizes the study of disease, and it is therefore one of the most multi-disciplinary fields of research. Investigators in a pathology department may be utilizing information and experimental techniques originally developed in almost any area of modern biology and, in return, may contribute new knowledge of benefit to many other disciplines. Research on disease may target any of the organ systems, in normal and abnormal conditions, and studies may be conducted from a structural, biochemical or functional perspective at any level, from the intact organism down to specific components of the individual cell.


As a new dungeon master, one who has already complained about the tabletop role playing game's restrictive mythology and overwhelmingly combat-oriented gameplay, I like to take an open-ended approach. Here are some examples of what I have already done and how my players have reacted.
Giant spiders in a dungeon are not part of the dungeon's evil plan, but mere inhabitants. In fact, in my dungeon they were serving a useful purpose – eating the massive supply of zombies that the dungeon was producing. They were so pleased with the preponderance of food that they set up their egg sack in the dungeon, which fortunately they were able to move out before the adventurers caused the dungeon to sink back into the earth from which it came.
What made this especially fun with my party was that we had a druid. Being sometimes a spider herself, she is able to understand the clicks and hisses of the giant spiders. At first I whispered in her player's ear what the spiders were saying to her and to each other, but then I switched to text messages. Colleen, for reasons of her own, decided not to communicate the spiders' messages to her party. I may get all of my players' phone numbers so that I can give player-specific information when necessary.
Also, rather than being helpless victims of monsters and passive spectators of heroic glory, townsfolk will often take action against the dungeons that plague them. Thus far, the townsfolk have noted the predictable pattern in which the zombie invasion occurred and set up a bonfire to burn them up before they can get into town.
Not to say I didn't have any challenges.
One thing that surprised me when I was trying to make my own scenario was how well-versed some of the players were in D&D mythology. They gave me a lot of trouble for having a non-metallic dragon be the supposedly benevolent ruler of a small country, as it is well known that dragons of solid colors are evil and hate humanoids. I was not surprised that they were curious, but even so they were good at getting information out of me. One of my non-player characters ended up being much more knowledgeable than he probably should've been, given his apparent disinterest in anything to do with the main quest. One of the players was intent on laying bare the nonsense at the heart of what I was asking them to do, pointing out that if they were helping a pair of colossal dragons it was difficult to imagine what task they could solve that the dragons could not. At first my retired, cynical wizard character, who had actually been encouraging the party not to get involved just shrugged. Unfortunately, I then lost my cool and he suddenly launched into a pep talk about how overwhelming the odds seemed when he and his party saved the multiverse from the great necromancer thirty years ago. Not in character. Bad dungeon mastering.
When my characters were following the road to the main city, they found the bridge was out. I had some spiders follow the river north to another crossing, and even had one of the friendly NPCs suggest north was the way to go, but my party is delightfully stubborn. They felled a tree and we role played all the skill checks that each of them would need to make their way across. Almost all of them fell in the water, but they had concocted a clever rope system that would prevent them from being washed away. This is the kind of thing that I love to do in any game – find easy solutions to ostensibly tough problems. They are skipping a significant chunk of the content in that forest, but not the plot-important stuff, so it's fine.

It's 4:50am on Saturday and I was doing what everyone dreams of doing at this time of day and week – getting ready for work. Doing a pretty good job as well. Showered, making coffee, putting my contacts in, packing my stuff as I go. It's a pain, but I can deal with it because I'll be home by 1pm. Then the phone rings and we've been canceled. We leave here at 3pm. Blah… Now I'm going to have to try to go back to sleep. On the up side, I'm glad they didn't wait til we got to the airport, but on the downside, it would've been nice 30 minutes ago.
This trip has been one of those trips. We're having some crew compatibility issues that I am not free to discuss on here. But we figured everything should go well today since people have to get home and have flights to make. I knew that would be too good to be true. I guess I'm going to try to sleep again.

JADE HELM 15 is REAL & Here's the Proof
The news of JADE HELM 15 has caught the internet on fire. Now, coming out of the woodwork are the nay sayers, propagandists, and straight out liars. Yes, I am calling them exactly what they are, liars. Political Correctness stops here. The truth may hurt, but it is the truth. If you don't like that, then either go to a different site or change your behavior.
There have been individuals from "trolls" to others that "claim" they are ex-Special Operations Command stating "this is not a real drill," Or that "the documents have been modified." These statements are not true, and are only being used in another "PSYOP" upon the American People. I will prove to you beyond the shadow of a doubt this operation is, in fact, true, and call these people out for what they are, liars! Anyone who tells you this is not a planned drill is lying to you either blatantly or by complete ignorance, neither of which is acceptable.
JADE HELM 15 is a (SOC) Special Operations Command (RMT) Realistic Military Training planned drill for the South Western United States covering seven states which broke in alternative media almost a week ago. Freedom Outpost's Joe McMaster covered this on March 20, 2015. I will not sit idly by and allow our alternative media to be portrayed as "conspiracy theorists" by those that are ignorant or liars. I stand in defense of all the alternative media that have reported and helped to expose this very real "exercise/drill," JADE HELM 15, to the American Public. I challenge the propagandists, liars, and PSYOP's to debunk this! You have been caught with your pants down and now you are trying to do "damage control." It's not going to work.

MySouTex covered JADE HELM 15 three months ago titling it "Military Exercises to be held in County."
Military.com "Army SpecOps Command Pushes Back Against Alarmist Claims on Exercise" states:
Army Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, a USASOC spokesman, confirmed that there is an upcoming exercise called Jade Helm 15 which is scheduled to take place this summer at locations in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, California and Nevada. But he denied the event is preparation for some sort of military takeover.
"That notion was proposed by a few individuals who are unfamiliar with how and why USASOC conducts training exercises," he said in an email. "This exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for Army Special Operations Forces because they must be ready to support potential missions anywhere in the world on a moment's notice."
He said the only thing unique about this particular exercise, which is slated to take place between July 15 and Sept. 15, is "the use of new challenging terrain" which was chosen because it is similar to conditions special operations forces operate in overseas.
Really? And just when are they planning on taking LEO's, DHS, FBI, and other "Inter-agency Partners" to go overseas at a moments notice? Does that even sound plausible?
Now that we have established that JADE HELM 15 is REAL, and it was previously covered before it broke all over the alternative media. Let's look into some of the other questions that have been asked surrounding this drill.
What could (SOC) Special Operations Command possibly mean within their insignia of "MASTERING THE HUMAN DOMAIN"? According to an unclassified document written by Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell D. Franks of the United States Army
titled "USAWC "Civilian Research Project" ref: pg 15
Major General Sacolick and Brigadier General Grigsby address how viewing this challenge through the lens of the human domain will contribute to answering the Chairman's question, "the human domain is the totality of the physical, cultural and social environments that influence human behavior to the extent that success of any military operation or campaign depends on the application of unique capabilities that are designed to fight and win population-centric conflicts. It is a critical and complementary concept to the recognized domains of land, air, maritime, space and cyberspace."
This concept and the addition of a human domain are important because the other domains insufficiently address the human dimension of conflict, although it is deemed a critical component to land power.
Further, the addition of a human domain, similar to a 7th war fighting function, will ensure that, "we're providing a framework to support and employ the complementary capabilities of special operations and conventional forces.
What is considered "Unconventional Warfare" by the United States Army, especially involving Special Forces? According to U.S. Army TC 18-01 Special Forces Unconventional Warfare it is to follow the "President's National Security Strategy". ref: 1-2 Which strategy would that be? Escorting criminals across country and dropping them off across the nation, or targeting American citizens that are standing up against President Obama's tyrannical and unlawful actions?
Chapter 1 1-2 TC 18-01 30 November 2010 Figure 1-1. Unconventional warfare terminology THE ROLE OF UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE IN UNITED STATES NATIONAL STRATEGY
Three documents capture the U.S. national strategy: the National Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy, and the National Military Strategy. The National Security Strategy states the President's interest and goals. The National Defense Strategy is the DOD contribution to the National Security Strategy. The National Defense Strategy also provides a framework for other DOD strategic guidance, specifically for campaign and contingency planning, force development, and intelligence. The goals and objectives of the President's National Security Strategy guide the National Military Strategy. In addition, the National Military Strategy implements the Secretary of Defense's National Defense Strategy. The National Military Strategy provides focus for military activities by defining a set of interrelated military objectives.
I don't know about you, but this surely doesn't make me feel any better about this "Operation/Drill." For years now, our veterans, Christians, patriots, gun owners, constitutionalists, pro-life advocates, small government supporters, small businesses, real journalists in the press, anti-corruption activists, anti-UN Agenda 21 advocates, anti-global warming supporters, anti-war patriots, anti-criminal immigration supporters, have all been targeted by this administration as enemies of the United States, even within government documents. Are we supposed to trust that they have pure intentions now? I surely don't, especially when they will be training "Interagency Partners." It's those "interagency partners" that have been targeting the American People for years. On 11/15/2012 Forbes covered such "drills" in an article titled "How the U.S. Military Would Crush a Tea Party Rebellion" What part of WE SHALL HAVE NO STANDING ARMY don't you understand?
Here is the Goliad County Commissioners webpage with contact information if you would like to contact them on this matter. They are responsible for "approving" JADE HELM 15 in Goliad County, TX.
Pete Santilli has started a petition on "WE THE PEOPLE" website to try and stop this "drill".
When Pete Santilli called SOC Public Affairs Officer to inquire about JADE HELM 15 he refused to answer questions and hung up on Pete. The greater question we should ask is, if this drill is no big deal, then why is SOC trying to keep it quiet?
George Orwell stated it best when he said, "Truth is Treason in an Empire of Lies."
My video response to the "Propagandists, Nay Sayers, Liars, and PSYOP's" as well as a special message to SOC and Special Forces that will be involved with this drill.
Now, not later is the time for WE THE PEOPLE to rise up, contact our county commissioners, mayors, governors, state representatives, sheriffs, LEO's, etc.. and let them know we will not allow American Citizens to be used as their "guinea pigs."
Stay Safe, God Bless, and Semper Fi.

■ The premiere of 'Bérénice' in Paris, with Barbara Hannigan in the title role the opéra de paris as part of its 350th birthday celebrations, was to craft a libretto from Racine's lines that allowed them to resonate yet also, through reduction and concentration, to offer new perspectives. The result is a continuous 90-minute work of extraordinary intensity exploring the psychology of the principal characters, which is the locus of the work's drama.
Jarrell's expressionist musical language sits on an axis from Berg through Zimmermann to Reimann, and is therefore well suited to the projection of the mental suffering of Titus and Bérénice. The vocal writing ranges from sustained single notes for moments of reflection through to rapid, histrionic, leaping lines when characters are at their most anguished. Barbara Hannigan (Bérénice) and Bo Skovhus (Titus) gave exceptional performances (September 29) in creating roles that never let up, vocally or dramatically. Hannigan, as one has come to expect of her, delivered music of the most remarkable virtuosity while stretched across a chair, or leaping about, or lying flat on the ground. But it was the final five minutes of the opera that were the most powerful through their restraint, where Hannigan's Bérénice, now numb from an excess of emotion, took her leave to slow, simple but intense music sung often without vibrato: the dignity and nobility of her sacrifice in the face of prejudice as she disappeared into a dark unknown was profound.
The two central characters were supported by strong performances from Ivan Ludlow as the troubled Antiochus, Alastair Miles as the priest-like Paulin, and Julien Behr as the youthful Arsace. Rina Schenfeld was Bérénice's constant shadow Phénice, a role spoken throughout in Hebrew, emphasizing the queen's status as outsider. Claus Guth directed his players with precision on a set (as prescribed by Racine) with a central office flanked by the rooms of Titus and Bérénice. Haunting black-and-white visions of their inner fears (a drowning Bérénice, a tormented Titus) were projected onto gauze. Lighting effects made the walls quake as the characters' agonies distorted their vision. The only glimpses of an exterior world came from the audio-visual projections of the indistinct faces and voices of the crowd, the murmuring of the people of Rome certainly, but just as likely the looming forces of latter-day populism.
It is the orchestra, however, that shapes, paces and punctuates this drama. Clusters, interweaving lines, long-held notes, ominous chords, sparse points of sound: there is a
Opera, December 2018


They say there's no such thing as a vacation with kids. Well, do you know who they are? Me. I am they. And hear me say to you: there's no such thing as a vacation with kids.
So no. This weekend was most definitely not a vacation. But it was a trip.
Traveling with kids is memory making on warp speed...it's highs and lows jammed back-to-back too fast to make much sense of them. You're laughing and crying, and yelling, and hugging, and when it's all over you look at each other and promise you'll never do this again, simultaneously knowing you absolutely will. It is yin and yang. Bitter and oh so sweet.
Catching chicken nugget throw-up in a towel, confirming our suspicions that yes, Fin does indeed get carsick.
Glimpsing in the rear view mirror to see sisters sharing their toys and helping calm down their baby brother. (and maaaaaaybe taking a Dramamine induced nap).
Turning a 4.5 hour trip into 6, due primarily to the longest rest-stop lunch in history, inclusive of one water bottle related tantrum, and no less than four separate bathroom trips.
Catching up with old friends, chatting, laughing, and staying up way past our old-lady bedtimes.
"Sleeping" sandwiched between two little bodies, striving to keep everyone quiet enough to avoid waking the baby before the sunrise.
Organizing glee-filled races to press the "excavator!" button (again, and again).
Nursing a sick baby at 2pm, while my lunch sits juuuuuust out of reach.
Getting snotty, but heart meltingly sweet snuggles from the fever-stricken baby.
Seeing the clock strike 11pm, and 2am, and 6am (and maybe a couple hours in between).
Watching Piper swim a lap around the entire pool by herself (with a little help from her floaties).
Running out of discipline options at bedtime, putting Fin in the bathroom for (yet another) time out.
Laying next to her afterwards to try to talk about being a better listener, and having her rub my arm with her jelly's ears as a silent form of apology.
bring a pack and play for naps, and oh...we're also out of diapers.
Watching Dustin's family embrace the girls and seeing them play with their cousins like they've known them forever.
Accidentally bringing up religion and politics, in one very ill-conceived attempt at conversation.
Holding hands with the girls after a long day, telling them, "I love you little people.", and hearing Fin, with all the sincerity in the world reply, "I love you too, Mom. And you love me. And I love you too."
I could go on forever, highlighting tiny snippets I never want to forget (mismatched flip flops, unbridled enthusiasm over Fruit Loops, searching for duck logos on every hotel surface), and mini-nightmares I'm thankful are already fading from my mind (the whining. oh the whining. SO MUCH whining). This weekend was the full spectrum: the absolute worst...the holding puke in your hands, strung out to your wit's end with complaining, bleary-eyed exhaustion, worst. And the absolute best...the childlike wonder, heart might burst, memories for a lifetime best.
It wasn't a vacation. But it was a trip.
What a post, loved it! I am about to take my first trip with two kids and your post is simultaneously making me excited and super anxious ha!
