What Is Parental Alienation?
Divorce can be messy and, unfortunately, when some couples choose to divorce, they bring their children into the process. When parents ask their children to take sides in a divorce, make negative comments about the other parent, or involve them in parental disputes, this often results in parental alienation. Parental alienation can damage the child's relationship with his or her parents and is often used as a way to influence the child custody arrangement.
Understanding the concept of parental alienation
Parental alienation refers to a condition in which the child of divorced parents feels an unwarranted and profound detachment and anger towards one of the parents. In parental alienation, this disengagement is caused by one parent making disparaging, derogatory comments about the other parent. As a result of these critical comments, the child may feel animosity towards the disparaged parent and seek to avoid the parent all together. And, unlike the normal childhood rebellion or teenage angst that is all a part of growing up, parental alienation can have long term effects, severely damaging the parent-child relationship. While acknowledging the conduct, which may be treated, the medical and psychological communities do not recognize the alienating behaviors as a syndrome.
Can parental alienation be used in child custody decisions?
The Wisconsin courts – like all states – begin with the premise that it is in the best interests of a child to have regular, ongoing contact with both parents after divorce. Whenever possible, family law judges try to support joint custody arrangements. That being said, child custody decisions are based on what is deemed to be in the best interests of the child. Parental alienation can cause serious harm to a child during child custody disputes, prompt unjustified negative feelings towards one parent. The Wisconsin courts consider several factors when determining the child custody arrangement and parental behavior is one such consideration.
Concerned about parental alienation? We can help
Divorcing a spouse can be difficult enough without the added emotional turmoil of the divorce's effect on your children. Oftentimes, parents willingly or unwillingly bring their children into the divorce process, which can have long term effects on the child and the child's relationship with his or her parents. In some situations, this parental alienation influences child custody decisions and can foster false allegations against a parent. If you are concerned about parental alienation during the divorce process or post-divorce, we can help. At the family law firm Bandle & Zaeske, LLP in Milwaukee, our experienced family law attorneys provide compassionate counsel on all family matters, including divorce, child custody, and child support.

How Russian musicians are raising money for Ukraine
Bass player Vitaly Prismototrov at the JetLAG Festival. This was not Prismotrov's first visit to the U.S. In 2008 he performed with Dolly Parton's band in Tennessee.
Since 2008 the JetLAG Festival has showcased Russian, Slavic and East European music in New York's Catskill Mountains. The organizers considered canceling the gathering this year, a move two other Russian diaspora musical gatherings made this summer on the east coast. But after resolving to raise funds for relief efforts in Ukraine, they decided to carry on with the show.
Several subcultures collide at JetLAG. Every summer major Russian acts - performing rock, reggae and cabaret, are flown in to play. But this year they weren't able to get visas to perform at the festival.
"That is a shame," said JetLAG's creative director, Pavel Lion, who performs as Psoy Korolenko. Lion used to be based in Moscow.
/ Jon Kalish
JetLAG creative director Pavel Lion participated in Relocation, a site-specific installation that included readings of recent works by a Ukrainian playwright.
Around 2,800 people attended this year, many from the New York and Boston areas. 500 of the attendees were performing artists, volunteers or people running workshops in crafts, theater and yoga.
Tents and RVs were set up and kids rode around the 300-acre campsite on bicycles, all a stone's throw from the East Branch of the Delaware River, which was icy cold but not deep enough to swim in.
At night, festival-goers were decked out in see-through, colorful rain gear and instruments for The Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band were decorated with LEDs as they played in the dark.
Two performers at the festival decided to flee Russia because of the war in Ukraine. Alyosha Levstein, 24, left his job as a graphic designer in Moscow and now he lives on a farm in Maryland with friends of his grandmother, a prominent lawyer.
Alyosha Levstein's father was a prominent jazz musician who played with Duke Ellington, and his grandfather was a beatnik in St. Petersburg who recorded several albums.
"It's not an easy decision to stay here," Levstein told NPR. "Starting work, finding new people, renting [an apartment], all of that stuff that I have to deal with right now, and apparently I don't really have a clue how to deal with it."
Bass player Vitaly Prismototrov fled Russia shortly before the war started and spent time in a detention camp after crossing into Arizona from Mexico. At JetLAG, Prismototrov played with a Russian-speaking band from California called the Flying Balkan Laikas. He was a last-minute addition to the ensemble.
Some of the key people at JetLAG have been devoting their time to aiding war-ravaged Ukraine. Co-creative director Alice Feldman left her job at a talent agency in Western Massachusetts to work with the Global Disaster Relief Team, a new non-profit. And Daniil Cherkassky, a Chicago-based performance artist who was born in Kyiv, co-founded Ukraine TrustChain which has raised $1.2 million to evacuate and feed 36,000 Ukrainians, an effort that continues to this day.
JetLAG organizers hoped to raise $50,000 for relief efforts in Ukraine.
Cherkassky told NPR that he noticed that the war had affected campfire singing at JetLAG this year because Russian songs are now deemed toxic in some circles. For years Cherkassky has sung old Soviet propaganda songs. But the 39-year-old performer decided that the material was inappropriate at this point.
"It used to be funny to sing about the communist regime's fantasies about colonizing other stars because there was a distance," he explained. "It was in the past. The Soviet Union has collapsed, so it felt like a content that was safe to use and now it's not."
Instead, Cherkassky sang traditional Ukrainian folk songs at JetLAG. He said that at times he was crying as he sang.
Performances by Daniil Cherkassky usually include video projections. In the past, he's performed while bouncing on a trampoline.

"While I have acknowledged the need to reform the Cuban Adjustment Act for some time now, the Obama Administration's characterization of this change as part of the ongoing normalization with the Castro regime is absurd. It is in fact President Obama's failed Cuba policy, combined with the Castro regime's increased repression, that has led to a rise in Cuban migration since 2014.
"The Cuban Adjustment Act has provided countless Cubans the opportunity to escape the Castro tyranny. However, in recent years it has also led to growing abuses. While some changes were needed, we must work to ensure that Cubans who arrive here to escape political persecution are not summarily returned to the regime, and they are given a fair opportunity to apply for and receive political asylum.
"Furthermore, I am concerned by the decision to terminate the Cuban Medical Professional Parole Program. For decades, the Castro regime has forced thousands of doctors to go abroad as a tool of its foreign policy. This is political repression, and I am optimistic that the incoming Trump Administration will reverse this part of the executive order and allow these doctors to seek asylum at U.S. embassies or consulates in other countries.

By default, our Gift Certificate software for VM 2 includes an email template with an embedded gift certificate. However, you may need to change the design, specs, or otherwise modify the image dimensions to your liking. Follow this tutorial to find out how to properly embed an image background in an email.
First, open up the Email Templates section of VM 2 Gift Certificate, and click the email template which you want to modify.
NOTE: The default template which installs with our component already has this code in it, for you to modify. However, if you accidentally deleted this code, or need it for duplication, here it is below. This MUST be done in HTML mode, cannot be pasted directly into the editor. Disable the WYSIWYG editor before doing this, or if using JCE Editor, use the show/hide button.
What this code has done is embedded a background image using HTML that most email viewing clients will support. However, the one exception is of course Microsoft, Outlook to be exact. So, we have also added in outlook specific data with <v> tags to deal with this. You will need to play with the alignment if you change our default image size, as Outlook formatting takes some trial and error. It is very similar to absolute positioning.


There were tennis superstars aplenty at day two of the Australian Open. However, it is fictional movie character Ron Burgundy who created the most buzz when he appeared at Rod Laver Arena where he joined tennis great John McEnroe in Roger Federer's post-match interview.
The tennis was again the contributor to Seven's primary channel win. However, TEN claimed the biggest non-news average audience with a shortened Big Bash League match, which had a session two audience of 673,000.
Seven has reported strong growth across its screens, with OzTAM reporting VPM streaming minutes on day two up 78%.
People not watching the Australian Open or the Big Bash tuned into The Big Bang Theory with the US sitcom claiming two places in the top 20 for Nine.
ABC looked like SBS last night with How To Stay Young at 8pm and then later in the night Michael Mosley's Secrets Of Food.
The second episode of the SBS doco Marry Me, Marry My Family was the channel's best last night with 241,000 watching at 8.40pm.

Tanker vs tankard
Tanker and tankard are two words that are close in spelling and pronunciation but have very different meanings. We will examine the definitions of tanker and tankard, where these two words came from and some examples of their use in sentences.
A tanker is a conveyance such as a truck, ship or aircraft used to carry liquids or gases or the contents of that conveyance. Commonly, a tanker is used to transport oil, though tankers may carry chemicals, gas, water or even milk. Tanker is used as a noun or rarely, as a transitive verb which is a verb that takes an object. Related words are tankers, tankered, tankering. The word tanker is probably derived from the Gujarati word tānkũ which means cistern or the Marathi word tānkẽ which means water tank.
A tankard is tall mug used to hold beer or the contents of that mug, which is usually constructed of pewter or silver. A tankard is a beer mug that has a handle and often, a hinged lid. It differs from other barware such as a beer stein in that a tankard is made of metal and may have a hinged lid, a beer stein is a tall beer mug made of ceramic, glassware or stoneware. Often considered a novelty in other countries, tankards are a staple in Germany, especially at Oktoberfest celebrations. Six million people attend the Munich Oktoberfest each year, which lasts two weeks. A tankard may be considered a personalized beer mug, and is often engraved with a monogram. The word tankard is derived from the Middle Dutch word tanckaert, which means a large vessel.
Aerospace giant Boeing plans to deliver the first KC-46 aerial refueling tankers to the Air Force by December, but the service branch expects the schedule will slip into spring 2018, according to a top Air Force leader of the program. (The Dayton Daily News)
A Bavarian tax inspector has demonstrated he can hold his drink better than most, by breaking the world record for the number of beer tankards carried over 40 metres (130ft). (The Guardian)

Episode from the podcastStop Child Abuse Now
Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2805
Released Saturday, 4th December 2021
Tonight's special guest is Rob Maniscalco from North Charleston, South Carolina, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Abandoned by his mom when he was very young, Rob was groomed and assaulted by his sister's boyfriend, a doctor at the children's hospital, who "infiltrated" his family when Rob was 14. Ignored by parents and church leaders, with his childhood derailed, Rob developed feelings of abandonment, guilt and worthlessness. Rob became an overachiever in the arts to prove his worth and gain the needed affirmation, mostly from women. Rob wrote a coming-of-age book about what led to the abuse and a fictional future asking "what if I confronted the perpetrator?," called, The Fishfly. Rob describes his journey, "Recovery is a lifelong process. Just when I think I'm 'healed' I'm triggered back into chaos. You can only fail when you stop trying, unless you've made a disgusting mess, in which case you should just quit while you're ahead." Rob is a nationally renowned artist, gallerist, author, teacher, and actor/director of his original play, Vincent John Doe. His recent dramatic reading of a poem, from the perspective of the perpetrator, might be played during the show: https://www.maniscalcogallery.com/the-destroyer/. These days Rob's focus is on being the best portrait artist and fine artist he can be, being a loving husband and raising his two amazingly insightful kids. He says, "They teach me every day (or should I say every weekend) about being alive."
Stop Child Abuse Now
Monday to Friday's "Stop Child Abuse Now" (SCAN) feature trauma informed HOSTs and Co-hosts and respected child abuse prevention, intervention and recovery advocates. They're all volunteers members of the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA), a 501(c)3. Founded in 2009, NAASCA.org was originally a grassroots effort. It was launched based on our founder Bill Murray's personal life experienced. Bill wrote, "Very few adults escape years of severe childhood sexual abuse, pre-pubescent X-rated photography, sex trafficking, and a two week long kidnapping." He continued. "But I have, and for some 35 years I've been in recovery from its devastating effects." After years of operating as a grassroots effort, NAASCA became a public charity in 2015 .. a 501(c)3 .. but we receive no grants or outside support, and belong to no other organization. There are no dues or fees. Our MISSION is entirely self-sustaining through the volunteer contributions of our members. The single purpose is to address issues related to childhood abuse and trauma including sexual assault, violent or physical abuse, emotional traumas and neglect from two specific perspectives: 1) educating the public, and 2) offering hope for healing and services to adult survivors. There are now nearly 3000 BlogTalkRadio shows, podcasts in the ever-growing library. Join us five-nights-a-week (Mon to Fri), at 8pm EST (so 7pm CEN, 6pm MTN, 5pm PAC) for solution-oriented discussions about the many issues of child abuse and trauma. The shows always include panel discussions and call-in participation.

The Work in Macedonia: Philippi
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but the father a Greek, 2 who had a good testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek. v.3
The reason why Paul had Timothy circumcised and not Titus is given to us; "because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek" (Acts 16:3). The issue with Timothy was that one parent was Jewish, and so it would raise distracting questions about his ethnicity among the Jews. Paul used his Christian liberty, so that "unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law" (1 Cor. 9:20). Paul did not compromised his principles with Timothy, but had rather used his Christian liberty bring an end to the issue. What the Jews wanted was to reject Timothy because of his mixed background, so Paul had him circumcised! The case of Titus (Gal. 2:3), whom Paul did not compel to be circumcised, made Paul's position very clear. Titus did not pose the same issue. Both the parents of Titus were Gentiles, and Paul would not compel him to take up with Jewish ceremony.
4 And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. 5 The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day. 6 And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, 7 having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; 8 and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us. 10 And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings. 11 Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis, 12 and thence to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days. 13 And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled. 14 And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul. 15 And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us. 16 And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying. 17 She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you the way of salvation. 18 And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour. 19 And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market before the magistrates; 20 and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews, 21 and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans. 22 And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge them. 23 And having laid many stripes upon them they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely; 24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks. 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed. 27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled. 28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here. 29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. v.31
In scripture there is a difference between "believing", "believing in", and "believing on". If you "believe" someone, you accept what they say as truth. If you "believe in" someone, you have confidence in their character; i.e. it has to do with who they are, although it also includes that they are honest. If you "believe on" someone, they become an object for your faith, and this also includes both confidence in their character and in their words, but goes far higher.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed them from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway. 34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God. 35 And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go. 36 And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace. 37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out. 38 And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans. 39 And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city. 40 And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away.

Why we play the games
From 2009 through 2018, I played in a co-ed recreational soccer league. We played every Sunday evening, May through October. Up until the last couple of years, it was the highlight of my week, but slowly over time I kind of lost interest in playing. Giving up every Sunday night for an entire summer and an entire fall just became too much of a time commitment.
But before that, those games were something very special. I'd ride my bike up to Rosebrook park by the shopping mall about three miles from my old house. We would kick the ball around for an hour, probably lose, and then cap it off with some beers on the sidelines while watching the later games, all before a quiet ride home through quiet Sunday night streets in middle America, a little buzzed on beer and laughs and physical exertion, then a late dinner and off to bed to start the work week.
In 2009, when I first started playing, I was unemployed. Nine years later when I hung up the cleats, I was divorced and living 15 miles away from that little park by the highway. Those years were packed to the gunwales with events and change, but they passed in a blink of an eye, just like they always do. Those Sunday nights were first highlights, later a melancholy reminder of loss, later a time gone by. I think of those bike rides home along the trail by the railroad tracks, over the interstate, the sun sinking low and fat in the west, and feeling as if all was going to be okay forever. Now I can't think about them without feeling sad.
Today was the last day of the English Test summer. And while some pundits might (justifiably) call the summer "wasted", I can't help but disagree. Despite the logistical and financial challenges involved in holding Test cricket matches in the middle of a pandemic, they were able to pull it off. Cricket at a time when we needed it the most.
I thought about this a lot as England played out the useless and unnecessary overs of the second Test against Pakistan. There was no reason to play those overs. The game was gone, simply gone, there was no chance of any result. But out they came anyway, to play the out the game, to finish what was started. Because that's cricketers do: they play cricket, no matter the situation, they play cricket.
It felt meaningless, sure, but all cricket is meaningless. Just like all my rec soccer games were meaningless. But you still play the games. You still bowl the useless 5:30 p.m. day five overs. You still celebrate when you score a goal on a 42 year old goalkeeper who last put the gloves on in high school. You still play the games, because that's we do. All of us. Professional, amateur, and everything in between. You find meaning and you go about your day.
Playing Test cricket in the middle of a pandemic was probably a little irresponsible. There are few people who would disagree with that notion. And the reasons the game went ahead had very little to do with the importance of sport, and everything to do with the almighty dollar. But I guess in the end the why here really doesn't matter. The games are being played, and therefore have meaning. To some, that meaning was distraction when it was needed most, to others it was a chance for cricket to figure out an attack that could win overseas, and to others it was a chance to solidify a place in history.
But for me, they played because that's what cricketers do. All cricket is meaningless. This summer was no different. But that doesn't matter. You still play the games, because otherwise there is no meaning to any of if, or anything at all. That is not to say that without sport humanity loses its northern star, but any time meaning of any kind is allowed to leak out of the world, it is a loss, a loss we can't replace. I took an odd, almost warm, comfort watching day five of the second Pakistan Test. Life was carrying on. It was no different than the joy incarnate to a rec soccer league game and the beers that follow with close friends on the sidelines of a beat up old soccer field. You're there because you're there, and that's all that matters. There is joy in simply participating, and when it comes to professional sports, even spectators participate.
This post has been banging around in my head for a couple of days, maybe even a week. There was something about that day five that stuck with me. As said above, there was a comfort in it that I can't really explain. Watching all the meaningless cricket I would have thought would have left me a little cold, but the opposite was true.
And then I started writing today, at my kitchen table, where I have written for over two years now. And I thought about those rec soccer games, and that maybe there was a connection there, an explanation. Every kick of the ball, every delivery, has meaning, just like every interaction has meaning, weight. Every breath. We get out of bed every single day, an action so simple it happens without a thought, but it's an action that provides meaning, in this case a hope for a better day than we had the day before. Each kick is a chance to be better, to deliver magic. You have to play those overs, otherwise what's the point of it all?
But then I started writing and thinking about those bike rides home on those Sunday nights for all those years. May through October. Up the trail past Snelling and the strip malls. Down Hamline by the golf course, cutting through the library parking lot, then west toward home, pulling into a driveway, dusk, lights on in the kitchen.
My life is different now. Perhaps better. But that does not diminish the power of those memories of times gone by, and their lessons on time and its passing. And those memories don't exist if we don't play the games.
It's easy to assign meaning in hindsight, and some might say a little lazy, but I think it's okay to look back at memories of a house and a time and a dog and a person, at memories worth cherishing, and realize that those memories don't exist if I don't play in that silly little Sunday night rec soccer league. We play the games because that is what we do, and later we give them meaning. Just like those overs on day five, which while meaningless, meant something.
Every moment is a chance for a memory. And every memory is a reminder of what has been lost, and that reminder is a cue to open our eyes, and hold on tight to what we have. Many people will not remember much about that second Test match, but I will remember a pandemic, and cycling home on Sunday nights, and a fresh start, and a summer spent realizing that maybe, just maybe, everything will be okay.

Allergy is a growing problem in the western world. However, education of health care workers in the field of allergy has not kept up with clinical need. There has been much evidence that medical practitioners use diagnostic tests inaccurately, declaring food allergy where there is none. Removal of food from a patient's diet, especially a child's, has significant nutritional implications that can be irreversible and have a lifelong effect. Furthermore the cost of inappropriate tests is escalating. Guidelines have recently been set indicating that allergy focused history must guide all allergy orders: http://www.ifan.ie.
1. To optimise the allergy testing service provided for both clinicians and patients.
2. To examine whether allergy testing was in line with current guidelines.
3. To look for areas where cost efficiency could be improved.
4. To gather local data that can be incorporated into education sessions for clinicians.
All sIgE tests ordered through the laboratory at Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, from May 8th to Nov 7th 2013, were made available in the form of an excel spread sheet. The outcomes of 4 tests were evaluated, according to age of patient and department from where order originated.
25% of all tests were ordered on those <2 yrs and only 15/153 (10%) were positive.
Positivity increased with age consistent with all international data.
Laboratory staff are unclear how to judge appropriateness of test order.


A good credit rating offers you more benefits than you might think. Here are 7 strong reasons why you should work to have a good credit score so that you can really enjoy the benefits it can offer.
One of the more interesting reasons why having a good credit score is important is the way it affects car insurance premium. At first, it may appear that credit score and car accidents have nothing in common. However, the statistics show that on average people with a low credit score tend to file more claims thank those with a higher credit score. While the connection between a bad credit score and filing higher claims may seem tenuous, part of the reason may be that people with good credit pay for minor accident damage out of pocket rather than with their insurance.
In addition, people with bad credit scores tend to miss insurance payments more often which in turn makes them a higher risk for insurance companies. It is the combination that pushes the monthly premiums up for those with bad credit scores.
Although car insurance with no credit check is often a wise choice to go with for those who maintained poor credit history, but this always helps to get a lower premium with good credit report.
Those who have good credit scores are rewarded by lenders with having a greater chance at landing the type of loan or credit card that they want. This is because a good credit score reflects the history of making payments on time which is what lenders want in their customers.
Because you are less of a risk than those who have bad credit scores, you can enjoy lower interest rates which mean that you will pay less each month on your credit card and for your loans. Paying lower interest rates means that you keep more money in your pocket.
Because your credit score shows that you are good at paying back your loans on time, you'll be rewarded with the ability to get approved for higher limits depending on the lender. In most cases, lenders are more willing to approve borrowers who have demonstrated with their credit score the ability to pay off their loans or credit cards.
If you are looking to rent a house or apartment, then having a good credit score will help. Landlords look at credit scores to see if the person has been evicted or left an outstanding rent balance. By keeping your credit score high, landlords are far more likely to approve of you when renting their property.
Security deposits on utilities for example can be from $100 to $200 for those with middling to poor credit which makes it all the more annoying when moving into a new home. However, those with a good credit score can often forego a security deposit as the utility company sees that you are worth the risk.
Having a good credit score means you are in a stronger position to negotiate a lower interest rate for your loan or credit card. By citing your credit score, you are telling lenders that you are a good risk and in turn to get your business, they'll often negotiate a lower interest rate to bring you in.


A Night featuring rarely-seen animation by Colombia's foremost contemporary animation pioneers.
Carlos Santa is the father of experimental animation in Colombia and mentor of many young Colombian artists today. The influence of his work expands throughout new generations in Latin America. This programme of short-films brings together classics and modern gems of Colombian animation, investigating the influence of Santa's work on a whole generation of animators.
Exploding with powerful metaphors, surreal landscapes, and haunting images these imaginative animated films were created within a context of a country ravaged by war, illustrating the philosophical and mental struggles of its people in conflict.
The work we aim to screen is always radical, comes from artists who want to challenge standards, to recreate a world only accessible through a different perception of reality. And we believe this is precisely the gift we are bringing to our audience in Scotland; these radically anti commercial productions are quite difficult to watch on a big screen and the world they want to immerse us into therefore feels quite far away.
Dive into it and travel to a different reality, so scarily close to the generally accepted as normal that will make you wonder in which side of the mirror you are. And that is probably the trick working its magic.
Please do not try to do this alone at home….

NADC Selects Attorney Leavitt to Nation's Top One Percent
By Leavitt Law Firm
Leavitt Law Firm is proud to announce that our founding attorney has been recognized for another legal honor. Attorney Leavitt has been selected to the 2015 member list of the Nation's Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel (NADC). This is an exciting distinction for our firm and is just another demonstration of Attorney Leavitt's continued high quality representation for clients.
What is the NADC?
The National Association of Distinguished Counsel is committed to promoting a superior standard of legal excellence through recognizing some of the top legal advocates in the field. Their main goal is to provide an objective recognition of the legal professionals who are going above and beyond the standards that the Bar has set out and are actively setting benchmarks for others in their field to pursue.
The NADC strives to limit this recognition, ensuring only elite professionals are listed. Due to the incredibly selective nature of their research, very few are asked to join as members of the NADC. In their efforts to keep it distinguished, they only select less than one percent of lawyers who are currently practicing in the U.S. to be members of the "Nation's Top Attorneys". Those limited few who are given this extremely prestigious award must have continually met the highest of ideals established in the legal field.
How Attorney Leavitt Was Selected
All legal professionals selected must go through a rigorous screening by the NADC. First, Attorney Leavitt had to have been nominated by a current NADC member, peer, or client, or selected by the NADC's in house research team. Once he was identified, he then when through an extensive vetting process, which involved a review of his website, public profile, client satisfaction, and case results. His firm's reputation, years of practice, training, trial experience, courtroom success, leadership in legal organizations, and other similar factors were also taken into consideration.
After that information was gathered, a blue ribbon panel of attorneys studied his information and determined that Attorney Leavitt's background, character, accomplishments, and legal prowess qualified him to be a member of the NADC. Once the judicial review board, which is led by former judges, approved of his inclusion, he was extended the honorable membership.
If you would like to work with an award-winning and leading divorce lawyer in the Las Vegas area, make sure you call on Leavitt Law Firm today. We look forward to advocating for your best interests!


Greeted with the site of an enormous reindeer at the local garden centre i'm starting to sense that Christmas may indeed be coming, sadly though Santa didn't arrive till tommorrow, perhaps there wasn't room in the taxi along with his 20ft friend!!
I'm bracing myself for the humongous reindeers dotted around Bluewater when i visit next. They're not as cute, ;) they'remade of wire with sparkly lights. v xmassey !!
I love seeing the decorations already put out in our town. It makes me get into the spirit :) How are ya today?


During the summer of 1963, Joe Robinson, an early teacher of mine, studied with Marcel Tabuteau in Nice, France. Joe suggested that I write to Tabuteau and make personal contact. I gathered my courage and sent a package that included a letter overflowing with compliments, as well as a request for some reed cane (with a check) for a beginning oboist in the south. I also sent a few oboe reeds of my own construction along with a reel-to-reel tape of me playing the Marcello Oboe Concerto (with organ accompaniment), and part of Bach's F Major Missa Brevis–asking for his assessment.
He very kindly replied to me in two separate letters as can be seen below. The first is in his own hand, and the second was dictated to Mme. Tabuteau and signed by him. No doubt, he played my tape on the same tape recorder that Wayne Rapier had given him to record his famous Marcel Tabuteau Lessons.
Mr. Tabuteau later sent me some tube cane, gouged cane, a shaper tip, and some of his personal reeds–a few of which are illustrated in The Reed Maker's Manual. These letters have been an inspiration and encouraged me to pursue a career in music.

Football: Over a decade, how have Mick McCall's Northwestern offenses fared?
Joseph Wilkinson, Reporter
It's one of the oldest tropes for grated college football fans: Fire the offensive coordinator. For every Lincoln Riley, the Oklahoma head coach and former offensive coordinator who designed the Sooners' record-breaking attack last year, there are dozens of people sitting
in folding chairs, downing Busch Lights and yelling about how they could call better plays.
After a 7-point performance against Duke and a three-turnover disaster vs. Akron, Northwestern's Mick McCall is hearing especially loud cries from the folding-chair coaches. They're calls he has heard since he took over in 2008, making him one of the longest-serving offensive coordinators in the country and a grizzled veteran against stout Big Ten competition.
"We play against really, really good defenses every week," McCall said. "It still comes down to running the football, stopping the run and taking care of the football. … In the Big Ten it's definitely prevalent that you have to be able to do those things."
McCall's offenses have never been known to light the world on fire, and as NU is primed to take on Michigan, one of the best defenses in the country, a detailed statistical analysis found McCall's squads to be remarkably average.
Despite this, McCall remains rooted in his role on coach Pat Fitzgerald's staff. Fitzgerald himself is a rare breed in his longevity; only five FBS head coaches have held their jobs longer than Fitzgerald, who took over in 2006.
Kirk Ferentz at Iowa, Gary Patterson at TCU and Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State have all had similarly long tenures helming power-conference programs, but all three have gone through multiple offensive coordinators.
And yet McCall endures, adjusting his scheme while remaining true to his Big Ten roots.
"We're a spread team. We run a lot of run-pass option-type things," McCall said. "We're going to spread it out and make people defend space, but we're still going to run the football well."
But have McCall's teams been quantifiably good at those things during his time at NU?
The most basic ways to quantify an offense, yards per game and points per game, are both dependent on several factors outside the control of the offensive coordinator: How many plays the team runs per game, the quality of their opponent and their average starting field position are just a few.
Rather, a metric called S&P+, a holistic measurement of offensive production, attempts to account for all those factors. The formula for S&P+ has been altered marginally during McCall's time at NU, so it is most useful to chart the Cats' national ranking in Offensive S&P+ than to use the raw numbers.
Additionally, it is important to consider worthwhile comparisons for the Cats. NU is unique on the college football landscape — a private university with more than 10,000 fewer undergraduate students than the next-smallest university in its Big Ten and also the rigorous academic standards of the 10th-ranked university by U.S. News & World Report.
It would make little sense to compare the Cats' offense to Georgia, an almost 30,000-student public university that recruits at a much higher level, or Rice, which is ranked 16th by U.S. News and World Report but competes in Conference USA, with significantly lower football expectations.
Fitzgerald's expectations for his alma mater, however, remain high.
"We don't hide from the goals that we have, which are to win the Big Ten West, to win the Big Ten Championship, and then go win our bowl game," Fitzgerald said before the season-opener at Purdue.
Thus, it only makes sense to compare NU to its Big Ten opponents.
"I love being in the Big Ten, it's football," McCall said. "Again, you have to run the ball, you have stop the run, and you have to take care of the football on offense."
That aside, the Cats' offense has been statistically worse than the average Big Ten offense during his time at the helm.
Among the 11 teams that have been in the Big Ten every year since 2008, the Cats average out as the 8th-best team by S&P+ ranking. They've also been below average when compared to only Big Ten West teams, which have generally failed to match their East Division counterparts offensively.
Even intra-conference numbers can be misleading, though, since blue-chip programs tend to recruit at a far higher level than NU and have for decades. A more accurate comparison is to power-conference teams who recruit similarly to the Cats. Fourteen such programs ranked within five spots of NU in 247Sports' composite rankings in at least three years between 2008 and 2017. (Big Ten programs within two spots of the Cats in the Big Ten rankings in at least three years were also included.)
Cross-conference comparisons are also difficult. This data includes some of the worst power-five offenses in recent years, like 2014 Wake Forest (128th in S&P+) and 2017 Kansas (127th). The data below removes some of these outliers by focusing solely on NU's conference foes who posted similar recruiting profiles: Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Purdue and Minnesota.
Under McCall, the team's Offensive S&P+ numbers are very close to the averages of teams that recruit similar talent, both within the Big Ten and among other power-5 teams. Like most comparable teams, McCall's unit has its highs (43rd in S&P+ in 2011) and lows (111th in 2015), but he has balanced things out to an almost eerily average level.
Of course, not every team and player is mediocre. At various points, McCall's units have featured a future season-long NFL starting quarterback, the best running back in program history and currently has a quarterback projected as a first-round pick in some NFL mock drafts, yet has never quite lived up to its potential.
That highly-rated quarterback, Clayton Thorson, has been in McCall's system for five years now and the two have developed considerable chemistry.
"They're going to run what I would like to run and vice versa," Thorson said. "We have a lot trust in that we're not going to go out there in a game, we're not going to run something that I don't like. I'm going to run what they want to do. They're our coaches, and we have a lot of open communication."
But in Thorson's time and before, various issues, whether in play-calling, along the offensive line or just in execution have always held NU back from reaching the next level.
Sometimes, the talent is the answer. McCall's offenses, which are clearly not as statistically efficient as an average Big Ten team, measure up much better when compared to teams that recruit similar talent. Given the talent Fitzgerald, McCall and the rest of the staff have recruited, the aggregate 10-year results have been almost exactly what would be expected, and almost never anything more.
In a sense, Mick McCall is an almost perfectly average Northwestern offensive coordinator.

Schucman, Helen, Thetford, William, Course in Miracles Society
A Course in Miracles, perhaps the most important spiritual writing of the 20th century, offers a fundamental reinterpretation of the Christian message that is spiritual, rather than religious, in its perspective. Despite its Christian terminology, it is ecumenical in approach, and its underlying ontology is reminiscent of the world's most hallowed traditions. There are three constituent parts to the Course: The Text, a Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers. The Text lays out the theoretical foundation for the metaphysical system of the Course. The Workbook contains a series of 365 Lessons to be practiced daily for the purpose of retraining the mind and healing our perception. Finally, the Manual contains information for and about advanced teachers of God in a question and answer format. This volume contains all three volumes of ACIM: the unabridged Text, the Workbook for Students and Manual for Teachers volumes of the Course, prepared from the original 1972 typed manuscript. Our focus in this edition has been upon reproducing as nearly as possible the content as it was originally given to Schucman and Thetford, who were the principals who first received and edited the material that became A Course in Miracles. They believed that the book was complete when they finished the 1972 manuscript.Schucman, Helen is the author of 'Course in Miracles', published 2006 under ISBN 9780976420064 and ISBN 0976420066.

Have you noticed that everybody is a photographer these days? Cameras are everywhere and many organizations are saving money by having their own employees make photographs for marketing instead of hiring a professional photographer.
If this describes your organization, do the images from your staff members often look mediocre and just not like what you'd like to use to represent your organization? Does the money you're saving by not hiring a professional come at a price? Did you buy a pretty nice DSLR camera for your staff only to escalate their frustration level because of its complication?
John can be scheduled to ride in on his horse to educate your employees on their camera(s) and on the principles of photography to increase their chances of showing your organization in a much better light.
After talking with you about your organization's specific needs, John will provide you with the cost for his coming on-location for one or more sessions with your staff and their camera(s).
You can think of this as offering your staff a perk, too, because your employees also will begin making better images of their home/family life and thank YOU for the photography training. You'll be improving the quality of Facebook postings, and for that, the whole community thanks you.

law of creation manga
The law of creation manga is the second in a series of short graphic novels that explore the world of the "Giant Gods," a race of creatures that have been in existence since the dawn of time. These giant, immortal beings are a mixture of angels, giants, demons, and giants.
These gods are immortal and exist only in the minds of humans, but they are not without their own will to rule. They have their own laws, they have a code of ethics, and they have a whole slew of bizarre rules about how to deal with their own kind. In fact, they take this to an extreme by setting up a code of how to worship the giants and not the giants. I found this book to be a fun read and interesting in a lot of different ways.
I really like how the giant god of creation was the first person in the world to die, and it's pretty much the first thing he's ever said that I think about on a daily basis. When he finally made his way to the afterlife, he called his son, the creator god named Adam.
I read a while back that the creator god named Adam was the first to die, and that was pretty shocking to me. Now, I know that I'm not supposed to be able to kill my own father, but I really had no idea that this was an option the creator god had. I have come to understand that this was intentional on part of the author in order to keep the reader in a better frame of mind as to what had happened.
The creator god Adam was actually the god of creation, he was the one that created the whole universe. And he was the first to die, so he was the first god to die. As for why the creator god named Adam died, I think it was because he was trying to keep the universe alive. After the universe had been created, he tried to kill the creator god named Adam, but the creator god named Adam survived and made him a god. That's what I think.
Adam was the first god to die, the maker of the universe in it's creation. After the creator god named Adam died, the creator god named Eve was made the first god. But Adam later got in trouble and made a god named Satan. So Adam and Eve had to get rid of Satan, so that they could be able to live in the paradise that they had created. Satan and his wife, Eve, were the first people. And they created the first humans.
So when you think about it as a human, it's obvious that you're going to be more rational when you're a kid. But when you think about it as a god, you suddenly realize that you're going to be more irrational. Because now that you're a god, you're going to be a lot more irrational than before. You can't just keep being rational and not try to change things.
The devil and his wife Eve were the first people, but it seems the first people were human beings. The first humans were created through the power of Satan. Satan's creation of them was a test, but the test was passed and people were created.
The test was passed. It seemed to be a test for the people who created them. The test was passed as a test for anyone to do something for them.
The power of Satan was passed on to everyone. It was passed on to the first humans, who used it to test other humans, and to the second, who used it to create humans. The power of Satan was passed on to everyone, but the test was passed on by the first human who used the power. When the second human tested the power, the power was passed on. When the second person tested the power, the power was passed on.

EXCLUSIVE: The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli is joining season two of true-crime podcast Deep Cover.
The series, which comes from Malcolm Gladwell's podcast company Pushkin Industries, returns with a second season, this time focusing on the Chicago mob.
Deep Cover: Mob Land, which is narrated by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jake Halpern, centers around Chicago's corruption in the 1970s and 1980s. At the center is Bob Cooley, a lawyer and fixer who helped the mob rule the city, then betrays them by going undercover with the FBI.
Season two follows Halpern's investigation into the criminal underworld of the mob, from gamblers and bookies, to political bosses and judges.
The first season, which featured Walton Goggins, followed a Detroit FBI agent as he goes undercover in an outlaw motorcycle gang and his bizarre series of discoveries that inadvertently lead to the U.S. invasion of a foreign country.
The ten-episode series premieres on January 24 and you can listen to the trailer below.
Told through first hand interviews with FBI agents, former mobsters, judges, family members, and prosecutors , Mob Land unravels a tangled web of corruption and crime, where murderers operate without fear of retribution and innocence is just a bribe away. Halpern navigates a complicated world where seemingly small decisions can change the course of justice and the fallout is still playing out in Chicago courtrooms today. At the center of it all is Bob – and a question that remains unresolved: why did he do it?
