Experience the bestselling phenomenon that is sweeping the nation! #1-New York Times. #1-Wall Street Journal. #1-Entertainment Weekly. #1-Publishers Weekly. #1-Booksense. #1- Los Angeles Times. BLOWN UP. All New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has to do is bring in semi-retired bail jumper Eddie DeChooch. For an old man he's still got a knack for slipping out of sight--and raising hell. How else can Stephanie explain the bullet-riddled corpse in Eddie's garden? Who else would have a clue as to why two of Stephanie's friends suddenly vanished? For answers Stephanie has the devil to pay: her mentor, Ranger. The deal? He'll give Stephanie all the help she needs--if she gives him everything he wants. MESSED UP. As if things weren't complicated enough, Stephanie's just discovered her Grandma Mazur's own unmentionable alliance with Eddie. Add a series of unnerving break-ins, not to mention the bombshell revelation leveled by Stephanie's estranged sister, and Stephanie's ready for some good news. Unfortunately, a marriage proposal from Joe Morelli, the love of her life, isn't quite cutting it. And now--murder, a randy paramour, a wily mobster, death threats, extortion, and a triple kidnapping aside--Stephanie's really got the urge to run for her life. SEVEN UP.

South Africa is totally dependent on rice imports to meet the local demand as no rice production take place in the country, due to the high water requirements of the crop. As a result, rice imports are duty free and local consumption is based on the import data as supplied by the Global Trade Atlas.
For the 2015/16 MY, post forecasts a ten percent increase in rice consumption in South Africa to 1.2 million tons, as the prices of corn products are expected to rise on a significant decrease in corn production, due to the drought conditions in the main corn producing areas of South Africa. Consumers can substitute rice and corn products on price and taste preferences.
Post estimates that South Africa will consume 1.1 million tons of rice in the 2014/15 MY, unchanged from the consumption levels in the 2013/14 MY. The South African economy grew by less than two percent in 2014, coupled by relatively constant wheat prices and relatively low corn prices, diminished a more aggressive demand growth for rice.
In the 2015/16 MY, South Africa's rice imports are expected to increase by 10 percent to 1.3 million tons on increased demand. In the 2014/15 MY, post estimates that rice imports could reach 1.2 million tons. So far in the 2014/15 MY (May 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015), South Africa imported 721,683 tons of rice.
In the 2013/14 MY, South Africa imported 1.1 million tons of rice. Thailand regained its position as South Africa's largest trading partner in rice from India. India and Thailand, together, supply more than 70 percent of South Africa's rice demand.
South Africa imports a small amount of rice to export to neighboring countries. In the 2013/14 MY, South Africa exported 80,000 tons of rice to neighboring countries. Post estimates rice exports could reach 120,000 tons in the 2014/15 MY and 2015/16 MY, due to increased demand for rice from neighboring countries.

Afghanistan dispatches: Taliban shoots and kills young civilian prompting protests in Panjshir province
December 27, 2021 10:15:43 pm
Law students and lawyers in Afghanistan are filing reports with JURIST on the situation there after the Taliban takeover. Here, a Staff Correspondent for JURIST in Kabul reports on the shooting death of a young civilian by Taliban forces and the protests, marked by anti-Taliban chants, that followed. For privacy and security reasons, we are withholding his name. The text has only been lightly edited to respect the author's voice.
Residents of the Panjshir province in Afghanistan took to the streets Sunday after a young civilian was shot to death by Taliban forces. A number of women participated in the protests as they continued on to Monday. The protestors and the family of the deceased young man have urged the Taliban to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
The young man's mother stated in a video that her son was a civilian with no ties to the former government's military. Another video posted on social media showed a group of women protesting alongside the men, one of whom was giving a speech to a gathering of the other women. In her speech, the woman said that although the Taliban announced a general amnesty, no one in Panjshir or any other province was safe from Taliban.
There have been several reports in the last five months of the Taliban arresting and killing young men. Additionally, several reports regarding illegal searches, arrests and other killings by the Taliban have surfaced from UN agencies, Human Rights Watch, and the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission. The Taliban is yet to provide a convincing response to the allegations in these reports.
As to this specific killing in Panjshir province, the Taliban stated that an investigation has been launched, but I am skeptical that these words will lead us anywhere. The Taliban has made a lot of similar commitments in the past but they are yet to take any action against their own.

EUR/USD currency pair continued bearish trend due to FOMC announcement and increase in existing home sales and Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index. On friday this pair move more downward due to ECB President Mario Draghi speaks, euro face losses due to Ukraine crisis and if Russia talk on peace then may be Ukraine condition better then see improvements in euro.
We are expecting that this currency pair move downward due to euro session weaker numbers of forecast for German Business Expectations, German Current Assessment, German Ifo Business Climate Index and EUR/USD already opened with downward gap, so now bearish mode is active. Technically our predicted outlook for EUR/USD currency pair against as fundamentals like bullish session start from 1.3245 to 1.3300, but today suitable trade with fundamentals and if this currency pair break 1.3245 then buy is best.
Today now sell trade is best, because euro going weaker and dollar stronger at evening time due to New Home Sales. Sell entry point at 1.3205/10 and take profit area 1.3150 and stop loss 1.3235. Please remember bearish mode very strong.

Bioscience Key Terms - Yield10 Bioscience Glossary
Has it been awhile since you took a biology class? Never had the opportunity to study plant molecular biology or plant biochemistry? Never fear. Following below we have provided definitions for key terms we commonly use when describing our research and development activities which are focused on devising new ways to produce step-change improvements in crop yield.
Yield traits: Crops for feed or food are based on plants that have a certain set of characteristics, or traits, that can include, for example, how much seed or biomass yield they will produce under typical field conditions. Historically crop yield has been addressed by adding traits that control weeds or pests, attempting to limit crop loss that may otherwise occur. At Yield10, we are focused on identifying new yield traits that will bring step-change improvements to crop yield by enabling crops to fix and capture more carbon and then target that additional carbon to the seed.
Global transcription factors (GTFs): In plants, global transcription factors act as "master switches" for regulating expression of certain genes. Modification of the expression of GTFs represent promising new targets for achieving yield improvements in that they control expression of multiple genes in different biochemical pathways.
Stacked traits: In plant biotechnology, stacked traits refer to the scenario where two or more new traits have been introduced into the plant to produce improvements in the field or improvements in yield.
CO2: carbon dioxide
O2: oxygen
Photosynthesis: In plants, photosynthesis is the fundamental process by which energy from the sun converts CO2 from the air into organic molecules needed for plant growth. Through this process, plants produce biomass, fruit and seed. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast where a light reaction and a carbon reaction (known as the Calvin cycle) occur.
Rubisco: The Rubisco enzyme, which is the predominant protein in plant leaves, drives the first reaction of the Calvin cycle where CO2 is converted to sugar and other molecules needed for plant growth. The Rubisco enzyme also catalyzes a second wasteful competing reaction which fixes oxygen instead of CO2. This side reaction of Rubisco reduces the efficiency of photosynthetic carbon fixation in C3 plants in a process known as photorespiration.
Photorespiration: When the Rubisco enzyme wastefully fixes O2, a toxic molecule is produced that must be removed. During the course of this process, the plant uses up valuable energy and some of the carbon is lost as carbon dioxide. This is a major bottleneck for crops with C3 photosynthesis. Photorespiration has been a major topic in plant science and researchers have employed multiple strategies in attempts to reduce photorespiration in C3 plants to improve yield. Yield10 is taking a systems approach to boosting yield in C3 plants with the goal of reducing photorespiration using yield targets such as C3003 from our "Smart Carbon Grid" discovery platform.
C3 Photosynthesis: Plants utilizing the "C3 photosynthesis" process produce a three carbon molecule when the RuBisCo enzyme fixes CO2. Due to photorespiration, it is estimated that C3 plants can lose up to 50% of all CO2 fixed during photosynthesis. It is well established that C3 plants produce much lower yields that their C4 cousins. C3 plants include canola, soybeans, rice, potato and wheat which are all crops of significant value for food and feed production around the world.
C4 Photosynthesis: C4 plants, which evolved later than C3 plants, reduce photorespiration by sequestering the RuBisCo enzyme in cells where the levels of CO2 are high and there is very little oxygen. This is achieved with a specialized anatomy of the leaf in C4 plants. A preliminary CO2 fixation step occurs as carbon enters the leaves forming a four carbon molecule (thus the name of C4 photosynthesis) that is then shuttled, through a series of steps, to another cell type that contains Rubisco. CO2 is released from the four carbon molecule making it available to Rubisco for photosynthesis. Plants such as sugarcane, corn, sorghum and switchgrass are examples of C4 photosynthetic plants.
Carbon flow: In plants, the original source of carbon comes from CO2 in the air. Once the CO2 enters the chloroplast it is converted by a series of biochemical reactions into the organic molecule building blocks of the plant to make biomass, fruit and seed.
Carbon partitioning: As plants grow, the carbon captured by the plant can be used to make biomass, fruit and seed. Efforts to modify carbon partitioning can be used to direct more of the carbon to increase biomass or seed preferentially thereby increasing crop yield.
"Elite" germplasm: Plant germplasm that has been selectively bred and optimized to a specific environment is referred to as "elite" germplasm. New traits developed through biotechnology are typically bred into elite germplasm plant lines prior to regulatory testing and commercialization.
Transgenic plants: Plants that are "transgenic" contain genes that have been inserted through a number of different methods. These genes are strategically inserted to impart new traits into plants.
Gene editing: Gene editing is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted or replaced in the genome of an organism using engineered nucleases, or "molecular scissors." The CRISPR/cas9 technology is one system to achieve genome editing and it has received considerable attention as a means to modify DNA in plants and other organisms. This relatively new technology has been of considerable interest to plant scientists as it may represent a way to modify and improve plants without introducing any additional DNA by precisely deleting small pieces of the host plants DNA. Yield10 has identified a number of gene targets may be useful as gene editing targets.
Genetically modified crops: Genetically modified crops, sometimes referred to as "GMO crops," are plants used in agriculture containing DNA which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. Genes for beneficial traits such as herbicide resistance or pest tolerance have been successfully introduced into plants such as corn and soybean.
Camelina sativa: The plant Camelina sativa is an oilseed crop cultivated in North America and Europe. Camelina has received recent attention as an industrial oilseed for the production of biofuels, novel industrial lipids, and oleochemicals. Its meal has been targeted as an animal and fish feed supplement.
Oilseed crops: Canola and soybean are oilseed crops grown commercially to produce seeds that are harvested primarily for their oil for use in food and feed applications.
Forage crops: Crops grown expressly for biomass used for feeding livestock are known as forage crops. Typical forage crops which can be annual or perennial include various grasses, corn, alfalfa and sorghum.

High Point › News And Media > Blog > Career & Professional Development > Class of 2017 Outcomes: Taylor Peck Sells Suits for Tom James
Class of 2017 Outcomes: Taylor Peck Sells Suits for Tom James
Name: Taylor Peck
Hometown: Fairfield, Connecticut
Major: Peck will graduate with a B.S.B.A. in Business Administration, with a minor in Marketing, on May 6.
Post-graduation plans: Peck accepted a position as a Professional Clothier at Tom James in New York City. In her position, Peck will design and sell custom suits. She will be responsible for the entire process of creating a suit: from gaining clientele, collecting measurements of clients, guiding them in terms of design, and following up and making minor adjustments to their garments once it has arrived.
How HPU helped you get there: "In my Sales in Dynamic Environments, we were required to attend a sales career fair. In class, we had been preparing a 'two minute drill' in which we answered the dreaded question that every single employer will be guaranteed to ask you 'tell me a little about yourself.' My two minute drill was all about how I have always been very passionate about design, but also had a love for solving problems and working with the back end of a business. When I found out we had to go to a career fair where every position was in sales, I felt discouraged. How was I supposed to sell myself to a company when I didn't want to be in sales? That was not part of my two minute drill. I went to professor Quinn to tell him my qualms about attending the career fair, and read him my two minute drill. His face went blank and I thought he was going to tell me I was out of luck. He said the complete opposite, he told me he knew I would be a perfect match for Tom James, and promise to personally introduce me to the recruiter who would be representing the company at the fair. That was the start of my journey with Tom James.
Leading up to my follow day at Tom James, I was extremely nervous. I really wanted the job, and a two day interview that involved flying to New York and staying in a hotel was very overwhelming to me. I went to Bridget Holcombe in Career and Professional Development, and she completely put me at ease. We went through every interview question I could think of, and went back and forth tossing ideas about what my responses would be. This meeting helped me become so much more confident going into the office on the morning of my first follow day, which the company noticed and praised me on."
Most impactful mentor at HPU: "Professors Randy Moser and Larry Quinn have both been extremely inspirational and interesting to listen to in and outside of class. They both have helped me prepare for my interviews and encouraged me that I would do great. However; if I had to pick one person who was most impactful, I would say it would be Bridget Holcombe. She came into my Sales in Dynamic Environments classes to administer a strengths finder assessment. I thought it was just going to be another presentation given in class, but when I received my results I knew that was not true. Mrs. Holcombe was so enthusiastic about how important her strengths are to her, and how they help her be more aware of how she needs to act as a professional. My strengths were almost identical to hers, and really reflected how I think of myself and my personality. After feeling this connection with her, I remembered her name when it came to the days leading up to my interview, so I made an appointment with her. Without that appointment I would have been much more nervous and unable to be myself when it came down to my interviews with the professionals at Tom James."
Most impactful moment at HPU: "My most impactful moment at HPU would be when I first shook Duncan Hines' hand at the career fair. I immediately started babbling about how I loved the fabric that he was showing, and he looked confused. I could tell I was losing his interest and he didn't notice my potential in selling. I could have just given up and accepted myself not being the right fit for the company, but there was something about him and the company that drove me to prove myself. I pulled myself together and used what I had learned in my sales class to tell him about my ability to think strategically into the future, which is what had lead me to be successful in life. I saw interest spark in his eyes, and we started having a conversation about what it takes to be successful at Tom James. That is when I knew I wanted to work for them, and that is why I have never stopped being so excited about getting to make it my career."
Advice for underclassmen: "Never silence that intrinsic voice we all have. Every single one of us has a dream; we have a vision of what our lives will be like when we graduate. Whether it's a specific job or purpose, or a more general urge to be successful and happy, we all need to listen to the voice in the deepest pits of our bellies. That voice is what makes us, us. It is what will keep you going when you feel like you can't go on anymore. It is what I have turned to again and again when I feel I don't know which choice to make. I think back to senior year of high school me, not knowing where to go for college. I think about how I almost ignored that voice when making the decision to come here, and could have gone somewhere closer to home. I think about how I was about to silence that voice when I found out I had to go to the sales career fair, instead of going to professor Quinn about my issue. Listen to that voice; it knows you better than anyone else."

How Michael French, a Military Brat Turned Dealmaker, Kept Marina Biotech Alive
Not once has J. Michael French scraped together more than six months of operating cash for his company since he became CEO in June 2008. More than once, almost any rational person would have concluded bankruptcy was imminent.
Yet 30 months have come and gone and French's company, Bothell, WA-based Marina Biotech (NASDAQ: MRNA), is still hanging on. It has clinched just enough deals, and captured just enough financing to keep the doors open. At last count, it still had 56 people on the payroll. Even though investors have lost patience with its scientifically edgy concept of RNA interference, French, a military brat turned pharma dealmaker, insists it's only a matter of time before he strikes that next big deal that will prove his never-say-die approach was worth it.
"The reason we are still alive is we have men and women out there in the lab doing great science," French says. "When I look at myself, I see tenacity. That's the only thing I bring to the table in high volume."
Tenacity is certainly one of the personality traits it takes to keep on plowing ahead in what is just about the highest-risk, highest-reward industry on the planet. Despite all the heralded advances in biology, biotech is still a business where nine out of every 10 drugs fail after they were considered good enough for human testing. It still usually takes a decade or more of effort, and hundreds of millions of dollars, just to find out if your hypothesis for a novel new drug is strong enough to pass muster with the FDA and become a marketed product. Anyone who dares to think they can do this had better have a combination of book smarts, street smarts, determination, charisma, an almost maniacal self-confidence, and a steeliness to make it through the hard times when the whole world believes you're wrong.
Most investors—and this journalist, too—wrote off French and his company a long time ago. I figured it was one of the weak members of the herd that would get devoured during the Great Recession. But when that didn't happen—and when Marina Biotech acquired Cambridge, MA-based Cequent Pharmaceuticals back in July—I figured it might be time for me to actually go out and learn a bit about this character Michael French who won't give up.
Michael French
"Michael has done a good job navigating his company's survival in tough times," says John Maraganore, the CEO of Cambridge, MA-based Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, and a competitor to Marina Biotech.
French, 51, grew up as the oldest son of a field artillery officer in the U.S. Army. French and his two younger sisters, like kids in many military families, moved around a lot growing up. When he got his first CEO gig at Marina Biotech (then called MDRNA) it was the 35th time in his life that he'd moved.
Growing up, French says he wanted to become an astronaut. He went to college at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he studied aerospace engineering. He strived for the astronaut dream all through his 20s, getting a master's in physiology and biophysics from Georgetown University partly because it would help him get the advanced education needed to enter the program. He finally gave up the astronaut dream after he was called to active Army duty during the first Persian Gulf War in 1990.
When it was time to go back to civilian life, he put his newfound advanced degree to work in a series of jobs where it could be of practical use—at pharmaceutical giant Bayer.
Listening to French talk about his career arc is dizzying at times. His curriculum vitae (which you can read here) lists 22 jobs since 1981, spanning both his military and business careers. The experience includes a stint handling marketing of … Next Page »

voom is a simplest-thing-that-works tool to manage your Vim plugins.  It installs plugins, updates them, and uninstalls them.

It assumes:

- The plugins you use are on GitHub, cloneable with an http/https URL, or in-progress on disk.
- You use Vim 8 packages (or [Pathogen][] to manage Vim's runtime path).

voom is an alternative to [vim-plug][], [Vundle][], [NeoBundle][], [vam][], [Vizadry][], etc.

Features:

* Fast: plugins are installed in parallel.
* Lightweight (100 lines of bash).
* No git submodules :)

## Installation

Voom works with both Vim and NeoVim.

Vim users: just follow the instructions below.

NeoVim users: follow the instructions below but:

- replace `~/.vim` with `~/.config/nvim`
- replace `~/.vimrc` with `~/.config/nvim/init.vim`

If you use Pathogen instead of Vim packages, follow the instructions below but:

- replace `pack/voom/start/` with `bundle/`

#### Create the installation directory

Create a `~/.vim/pack/voom/start` (Vim) or `~/.config/nvim/pack/voom/start` (NeoVim) directory and git-ignore everything in `pack/voom/`.

```sh
$ cd ~/.vim && mkdir -p pack/voom/start && echo 'pack/voom/' >> .gitignore
$ cd ~/.config/nvim && mkdir -p pack/voom/start && echo 'pack/voom/' >> .gitignore
```

#### Install the `(n)voom` scripts somewhere on your PATH

For example, if `~/bin` is on your path:

```sh
$ curl -LSso ~/bin/voom https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airblade/voom/master/voom
$ curl -LSso ~/bin/nvoom https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airblade/voom/master/nvoom
```

Pathogen users: tell voom where to save your plugins:

```sh
$ alias voom='VIM_PLUGINS_DIR=~/.vim/bundle voom'
```

#### Declare your plugins in `plugins` and add the file to your repo

```sh
$ echo 'airblade/voom' > ~/.vim/plugins    # optional
$ voom edit                                # opens your editor so you can declare your plugins
$ git add ~/.vim/plugins
```

You don't need `airblade/voom` in your manifest – the `voom` script does all the work – but it makes editing the manifest a little nicer.

## Usage

Declare your plugins in `plugins`, a plain-text manifest in your vim repo.  Open your manifest with:

```sh
$ voom edit
```

Here's an example of a manifest:

```
# Comments start with a hash character.
# Note the plugin declarations are case-sensitive.

# Declare repos on GitHub with: username/repo.
tpope/vim-fugitive

# Declare repos on Gitlab or others with full URL:
https://github.com/tpope/vim-obsession
https://gitlab.com/hugoh/vim-auto-obsession

# Declare repos on your file system with the absolute path.
/Users/andy/code/src/vim-gitgutter
# Or with a tilde path.
~/code/src/vim-rooter
```

Run `voom` without arguments to install and uninstall plugins as necessary to match your manifest.

To update your online plugins:

```sh
$ voom update
```

If you just want to update one plugin:

```sh
$ voom update vim-fugitive
```

If you want to update plugins with minimal output:

```sh
$ voom update -q
```

Restart Vim to pick up changes to your plugins.

## How does it work?

When `voom` installs a plugin:

- online: `voom` clones it [1] into `~/.vim/pack/voom/start/`.
- local: `voom` symlinks it into `~/.vim/pack/voom/start/`.

When `voom` uninstalls a plugin:

- online: `voom` removes the directory from `~/.vim/pack/voom/start/`.
- local: `voom` removes the symlink from `~/.vim/pack/voom/start/`.

[1] `voom` performs a shallow clone of depth 1.  If you subsequently want a repo's full history, do `git pull --unshallow`.

## Why is voom written in bash not Vim script?

Installing, updating, and uninstalling plugins simply involves making directory trees available at the appropriate locations on the file system.  It's basic command-line stuff involving things like `git`, `ln`, `rm`.  A shell script is the natural solution.

All a Vim script wrapper would do is call those same shell commands – but with all the problems that come with shelling out from Vim.

In this case the simplest thing that works is a shell script.

The Horror: All The Prints!
This swimsuit -- like this one -- is for surfers, which is why it has sleeves. That is not the issue. The issues is that the "sandy" paisley against the black and white stripes is crazy fugly. Were there no other fabrics? Could they not mix stripes or add polka dots? Paisley wouldn't even be bad if it were, say, white and blue. The cardinal rule of print mixing is that the opposing prints need to share colors to create cohesion. This looks like someone thought her strapless one-piece was too daring so she decided to layer with the shirt she wore yesterday.
I've really enjoyed some of the print-mixing I've seen in magazines lately, but yeah. That one's ugly.
I agree completely! it should be the blue in the middle as the sleeve-part. Swimsuits aren't supposed to look like this!


I am so thrilled to be joining my friend Gina from Shabby Creek Cottage on a summer tour of bloggers' homes! Because this is a blog hop, some of you may be visiting here for the first time from Madigan Made. Welcome!
If you've spent any time reading this blog, you may know that I live in perpetual summer. I love bold, over saturated colors, and my decorating style reflects that obsession. The only time I really ever tone it down is during Christmas, but let's be honest – I do Christmas in a bold, crazy way, too.
So, Summer decorating is really no different than the 11 other months out of the year at my house. Since I showed most of my home in last year's tour (except for this room and this room that I've since finished), I decided to show you some things I've changed up since then. Sound good? Awesome.
I cut up an Astroturf rug again, and this time I installed it on my patio. I am so freaking excited with the way it turned out! Here's the tutorial for how to make one on your own. It was so easy and adds a lot of quirky charm.
I moved my BBQ grill turned planter onto the porch and added some colorful flowers. I'll probably kill them in about a month, but I'll try really hard not to.
I picked up this cute little planted succulent at Lowe's, too. I really liked the little pot. That's probably the only part that will survive my black thumb.
On the blank wall, I hung this etched mirror I made a few years ago. My son, Zack, may be five years older, but he still has that exact same profile. I love how it reflects the flowers. This mirror has been shoved in a closet for a few years, so it's fun to put it to use again.
Above the BBQ planter and broken window, I hung a burlap bunting that I made. Zack, who is a fluent Spanish speaker, pointed out to me that I misspelled "Hola." Jokes on him, because I meant for it to say "Holla!" I don't know why. I just wanted it to say that.
Alright, let's go back inside because it's hotter than the surface of the sun out here in Texas.
My dining room and entry way have some fun summer color. I love this plaster planter that I picked up a few years ago at Round Top.
I made a crazy little planter for my kids' playroom. Don't you love those animal cracker bear jars? I've been threatening to turn it into something fun, and I finally did it. I'll have a tutorial on this soon!
Our master bedroom got a little update, as well. I found more discount bedding (Tuesday Morning, Marshall's and Amazon this time) and freshened up our bed. I was so excited to find those sheets – it's really hard to find quality king sized pattern sheets for a good price.
My chalkware dog got an update, too. Now, he's got on some shades. Okay, so they are 3D glasses from some kids' movie, but we're going to pretend they are sunglasses.
I also made a little printable to hang on our floor mirror. Yes, that song will now be stuck in your head all day. You're welcome, because it's awesome. Here's where you can download it for free to use in your own home.
Okay, that's just about it! I hope you enjoyed my summer home tour. Now, head over to my friend Donna at Funky Junk Interiors. I'm certain her tour is going to blow you away.
Love your home and your style. The patio is fabulous and that rug is amazing. I adore your bedroom, it is one of my favorites. Beautiful tour.
I love all of the color and fun in your home!!! And I am coming over to hang out on your back deck!
Oh girl. Your special signature totally shines in your rockin' home tour! The astro turf patio is so cool! And you know I'm all over that picture frame wall. And then there's the bulldog jewelry holder… your home just makes me feel happy!
Can't wait for the tutorial on the turf outside! and love that centerpiece on your dining room table with the birds!! fun tour!
I like how you bring that zigzag pattern inside the home too. I have a question about the patio with the BBQ Planter. It looks like you have a concrete deck and you cut strips of astro turf in squares and staggered them for a tile look, is that true? How did you get the squares cut so uniformly and square and how did you get them to stick throughout traffic and the heat of summer? Great idea, I just don't know if I would have much success carrying it out.
You had me at the Elvis silhouette !
Love your chevron walls! Your home is gorgeous!


Triennial – North American Baptists, Inc.
We are excited to announce that Saint Paul, Minnesota, will be the host city for the 2021 Triennial. Located on the rolling banks of the Mississippi River, Saint Paul is the capital of Minnesota. With some twenty-six miles of Mississippi riverfront, Saint Paul boasts a scenic environment with all the metropolitan amenities. Together with its sister city of Minneapolis, Saint Paul forms the Twin Cities. Travel to Saint Paul is made convenient by a modern airport located a short twenty-minute drive from the Saint Paul downtown district. Driving travel is made easy as US I-35 and I-94 intersect the Twin Cities.
The Triennial main sessions will be held at the Saint Paul RiverCentre, a stunning convention center with comfortable space and outstanding guest services. Honored twice as the region's "Best Convention Center" by Minnesota Meetings + Events magazine, the meeting space will be perfect for allowing the NAB family to gather for worship, receptions, and breakout sessions.
The host hotel will be the InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront, situated just a short walk from the convention center, as well as museums, live theater, restaurants, and the riverfront trail system. As a major hotel situated in the heart of downtown and atop the bluffs of the Mississippi River, the InterContinental will provide not only comfortable guest rooms but also beautifully appointed spaces for various Triennial receptions and meetings.
Among other reasons, Saint Paul was selected because of its convenient location for many of our US and Canadian churches. Within about a one-day drive, NAB churches can be found in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.
Plan to Join us July 8–11, 2021!
Thank you to all who joined us in Edmonton, Alberta, for the 52nd Triennial Conference. It was a fantastic time of connection and worship, and we cannot wait to see how God will use this event as a catalyst for years to come.

'Star Wars: Episode VII' Resumes Production
5:31 PM 8/28/2014 by Jeff Giles
Even before Harrison Ford accidentally shut down production on Star Wars: Episode VII by getting his leg crushed on the Millennium Falcon, speculation ran rampant regarding director J.J. Abrams' rumored reluctance to meet or agree to Disney's demands for a December 2015 release date. Once Ford was laid up for weeks, many wondered whether the studio might be forced to bump the highly anticipated follow-up to 1983's Return of the Jedi.
J.J. Abrams Reveals 'Star Wars: Episode VII' X-Wing
12:14 PM 7/21/2014 by Jeff Giles
We can't (yet) see what our old friends Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewbacca are up to on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, but we've already been granted a sneak peek of R2-D2 -- and now, director J.J. Abrams has thrown back the curtain on our first look at the return of the X-wing fighter. The ship, piloted by Rebel insurgents in their battle against the Empire, seems set to be making a return to action in Episode VII, at least judging from the glimpse we get via Abrams' new "Force for Change" video.
'Star Wars: Episode VII' Filming Partially in IMAX
10:11 AM 7/9/2014 by Jeff Giles
There may not be a franchise on the planet (or in a galaxy far, far away) more perfectly made for IMAX than Star Wars, but the format's rise has occurred mostly during the saga's time away from theaters, so they've mostly been kept apart -- although the prequel trilogy shot by George Lucas in the late '90s and early aughts did end up being blown up and projected on those really, really big screens.
Harrison Ford to Miss Eight Weeks of 'Star Wars' Filming
While the rest of us are doing backflips over J.J. Abrams' decision to heavily incorporate real sets rather than relying totally on CGI for Star Wars: Episode VII, Harrison Ford is laid up in a hospital bed, reportedly because the Millennium Falcon has a really heavy door.

Plot 167 is a versatile four bedroom family home set over 2.5 storeys. On the ground floor you'll find the kitchen with space for a breakfast table, an open plan lounge and dining area with French doors to the garden and plenty of storage. The first floor has two double bedrooms, a single and a family bathroom. The top floor completes this home with an impressive en suite master bedroom and dressing area.


ASCAP's "Making It In Music City" panel from ASCAP's "I Create Music" EXPO, the country's largest conference for songwriters and producers, brought together leading figures from across the music industry to discuss what it takes to break into today's music scene in Nashville.
Panel members included Spotify's John Marks, William Morris' Kevin Meads, Warner/Chappell's Ryan Beuschel, Red Light Management's Tom Lord and chart-topping songwriter Adam Sanders (Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Dustin Lynch, Cole Swindell).
Using Sanders' own decade-long career as a case study, the group provided insights about finding key mentors and seeking out artists you believe in to work with.
Sanders met his first "champion," Ryan Beuschel (of ASCAP at the time) while playing a writers' round in a Nashville dive bar at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. Beuschel was enamored with Sanders' songwriting, and within the month had introduced him to every publisher he knew, garnering half a dozen offers.
Sanders said he sought out mentors in different areas of the music industry to develop as effective a brain trust as he possibly could. This included early support from John Marks, who guided him through the world of radio (while a SiriusXM producer) and streaming (as a Spotify exec) while he began his performance career.
Sanders attributes 90 percent of his songwriting credits to pre-fame friendships he had built with artists in Nashville. A specific example was Cole Swindell, who Sanders became friendly with when he was a construction worker and Swindell was selling merch. Together they wrote a song called "Ain't Worth The Whiskey" as Cole was reeling from the end of a relationship, and six years later the pals took it to No. 1 on the country charts.

Alfredo Chaves, amtlich , ist eine brasilianische Kleinstadt im Bundesstaat Espírito Santo, etwa 60 km südwestlich von der Landeshauptstadt Vitória entfernt im Landesinneren. Alfredo Chaves hatte 13.955 Einwohner bei der Volkszählung 2010 und eine Fläche von 615,791 km². Die Bevölkerung wurde zum 1. Juli 2021 auf 14.670 Einwohner geschätzt, die Alfredenser (portugiesisch alfredenses) genannt werden.

Geographie
Alfredo Chaves liegt im Südwesten des Bundesstaates. Die Gemeinde ist von Hügeln durchzogen. Der höchste Gipfel ist Trancenco Peak mit 1.050 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Das Stadtzentrum von Alfredo Chaves liegt aber nur 10 m über dem Meeresspiegel.

Umliegende Gemeinden sind im Norden Marechal Floriano und Domingos Martins, im Osten Anchieta und Guarapari, im Süden Iconha und Rio Novo do Sul und im Westen Vargem Alta.

Geschichte
Der Ort wurde von italienischen Einwanderern als Kolonie gegründet und hieß ursprünglich Alto Benevente. Bereits 1817 kam es zu tödlichen Zwischenfällen mit den Botokuden, der einheimischen Ethnie. Erneute Attacken 1878, ausgelöst durch die Ausweitung des Siedlungsgebietes, veranlassten Kaiser Dom Pedro II. seinen Kolonisationsminister, den Ingenieur Alfredo Rodrigues Fernandes Chaves, in das Gebiet zur Befriedung und Schutz zu entsenden. Ihm zu Ehren wurde der Ort zunächst Vila de Alfredo Chaves, dann bei Erhalt der Stadtrechte Município de Alfredo Chaves benannt.

Wirtschaft
Viehzucht ist der wichtigste Wirtschaftszweig, vor allem werden Milchkühe und Hühner gezüchtet. Dazu spielen auch noch Kaffee- und Bananenplantagen eine wichtige Rolle.

Söhne und Töchter der Stadt
 Haydée Nicolussi (1905–1970), Schriftstellerin, Übersetzerin und politische Aktivistin

If you have a blocked tear duct, your tears can't drain properly. This can leave you with watery and irritated eyes. This article explains what causes a blocked tear duct, how it can be treated, and how you can prevent it from happening.
Tears form to keep the eye moist. They usually drain away through a small opening, near the nose, on each of the upper and lower eyelids. Then they travel through a narrow tube called a tear duct before draining into the nose. This is why your nose runs when you cry.
When you have a blocked tear duct, the tears can't drain away as they should. When this happens, you get watery eyes and tears can trickle down your face.
About 1 in 20 babies are born with a blocked tear duct. The duct might not be fully developed, or it might be too narrow. This then causes a blockage.
Adults get blocked tear ducts too, often from an infection. They can be caused by injuries, and occasionally by medicines.
Tears from the tear gland drain along ducts near the corner of the eye.
Women who have gone through menopause might also develop blocked tear ducts.
Other things can cause watery eyes too. For example, your eyes might produce extra tears to fight irritation and dryness caused by dry eye syndrome.
Talk to your doctor if you or your child has watery, sore or irritated eyes.
Common symptoms of a blocked tear duct include watery eyes and a sticky white or yellow discharge that can become crusty, especially after sleeping.
Sometimes a tear duct can get infected. Signs of an infection in babies include a discharge that is stickier than normal, a green discharge, swollen red eyelids, and sensitivity to light. The baby may also frequently squeeze their eyes shut.
These symptoms can occur in adults too. An infection can also cause pain and blurred vision.
See a doctor if you or your child show any symptoms of eye infection.
Your doctor will examine your or your child's eyes. They might then refer you to an ophthalmologist.
Tests could include using dye to see if tears drain through the tear duct or overflow. Sometimes your ophthalmologist might recommend an x-ray, or they might use a fine probe to check where the blockage is.
If you have an infection, your doctor might recommend an antibiotic.
If the tear duct doesn't open properly by the time the child reaches one year of age, an ophthalmologist might use a fine probe to open up the tear duct. This is done under general anaesthetic.
In adults, treatment will depend on what is causing the blocked tear ducts. If surgery is needed, it will involve bypassing the blockage by creating a new passageway, or implanting an artificial duct so that tears can drain properly.
Eye infections are a common cause of a blocked tear duct in adults. To reduce your risk of getting an eye infection, wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water. Try not to rub your eyes, and don't share eye cosmetics.
If you wear contact lenses, talk to your optician about the best way to use, store and clean them.
If you have symptoms, healthdirect's online Symptom Checker can help you decide what to do next.
Find a doctor or ophthalmologist near you with healthdirect's service finder function.
Both the Raising Children Network and the Women's and Children's Health Network have information on blocked tear ducts in babies and children. They also have plenty of information on many other aspects of child health.
Many babies get a blocked tear duct. Symptoms include watering eyes and discharge. Blocked tear ducts mostly fix themselves, but its good to see a GP.
Some babies are born with a blocked tear duct, but other events, including infection and trauma to the nose, can cause a blocked tear duct.
'Sticky eye' occurs when your baby's tear duct gets blocked so the eye becomes very watery and produces a discharge. It's wise to get a doctor to check it out.
Conjunctivitis is an infection of the surface lining of the eye. It is very common in young children and most forms are highly contagious. Learn more here.
Advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye condition which principally affects the over 65s. In this age group it is the most common cause of loss of vision in the developed world, and the third most common cause globally. AMD causes loss of central vision. Despite advances in the understanding of AMD and the recent introduction of new treatments for some forms of AMD, the visual loss it causes is irreversible in most cases. When it affects both eyes, the impact on day to day functioning is huge. As the proportion of older people increases, larger numbers of people are likely to be affected by AMD in the future.
Acanthamoeba are microscopic, free-living, single-celled organisms. Infection of the eye by these organisms is known as Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK). Although very rare, if left untreated AK can lead to the loss of vision in the eye or, in extreme cases, loss of the eye itself. Contact lens wear is the most common risk factor for AK. The most common symptom of AK is severe pain, which is out of proportion to the clinical signs and associated with sensitivity to light, blurry vision, and tearing.


June 19, 2017—Members of the Automotive Service Association's (ASA) mechanical operations committee met with top committees on Capitol Hill this week to discuss the future of connected cars and autonomous vehicles.
Attendees held discussions with senior staff from the U.S. House on Energy and Commerce, House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee in a series of roundtable talks about new vehicle technologies and the impact these could have on automotive repair. During the meetings, staff shared the legislative forecast for connected cars and ASA's members were able to share their views from the repairer's perspective.


Many people stop flossing when they notice bleeding while flossing. Instead of quitting flossing you should visit your dentist to figure out why your gums bleed when flossing.
Often, bleeding or sensitive gums are a sign of a gum disease which needs immediate attention. Many people assume a little bleeding is okay, but it is not.
If you have not visited the dentist for quite some time and you have bleeding gums, it means there is the start of gum disease.
Let us understand how calculus buildup, poor oral hygiene, smoking, etc. can cause bleeding gums during flossing and how to deal with this condition.
Bleeding while flossing is common but it is not normal or healthy. Flossing in the wrong way can cause cuts in the gums, but nobody uses the floss to traumatize their gums in majority cases.
When you don't brush and floss regularly or thoroughly, then there is plaque buildup along the gum line and between gaps in your teeth (if any). Plaque is a soft layer which you can clean by brushing.
But if you ignore brushing and flossing, plaque continues to accumulate and forms a hard layer of deposit on teeth. This layer also called calculus which cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone.
Calculus buildup causes gum disease, such as gingivitis, which causes gum bleeding while flossing.
Healthy and balanced diet is beneficial for both your overall health and the health of the oral cavity. When you eat a balanced diet, your immunity is higher compared to when you thrive on junk food.
Junk food contains sugars and acids which harm the teeth and contribute to plaque formation leading to bleeding gums while flossing and brushing. And junk food causes tooth decay too!
Smoking is detrimental to overall health, oral cavity included. Smoking is a risk factor for gum disease due to nicotine and other toxins present in cigarettes.
Gum disease can be hereditary for some people. You could be following every instruction and yet end up with bleeding gums while brushing.
If you know that your family has a history of gum disease, then you should get yourself checked by your dentist to confirm if you have the same condition or not.
If you have bruxism or the habit of teeth grinding, then you will have teeth and gum problems. Constant grinding of teeth puts excessive pressure on gum tissue and cause recession of gums and gum disease down the line.
Prescription drugs such as blood thinners can cause thinning of the blood. Blood thinners usually prescribed to patients with cardiovascular problems can be the cause of bleeding gums. If your gums bleed for more than a week, you should visit your physician for consultation.
What should do you when gums bleed due to flossing?
Many people stop flossing when they experience bleeding, but you should do the opposite. If you resumed flossing after a break, then you should floss regularly even if your gums bleed. After a week or ten days, your gum will become resilient and healthier, and bleeding will stop.
If bleeding doesn't stop after ten days, you should visit your dentist for a thorough check-up.
How frequently should you floss your teeth?
Flossing helps clean the areas where a toothbrush cannot reach such as gaps between two teeth. If you skip flossing, it means that you are cleaning only half of your mouth.
Also if you floss once a week or once in two weeks, your gums will bleed. Only if you floss regularly, the gum tissue becomes resilient and doesn't bleed while flossing.
You should ideally floss once a day. If you experience bleeding gums while flossing you should floss after every meal for seven days till the bleeding stops.
If you don't like the traditional floss, you can try water flossing (WaterPik). A WaterPik is not an alternative to flossing so try to make a habit of flossing the conventional way.
Brush your teeth and floss regularly.
Visit your dentist every six months for a checkup and a round of professional cleaning.
Bleeding gums is the sign of inflammation and bacteria accumulation which shows that your immune system is trying to fight. Poor oral hygiene, skipping regular flossing and brushing, etc., can lead to gingivitis which is a major cause of bleeding while you floss.
Flossing is a good habit. Make it a point to incorporate it into your oral hygiene regime. If you feel you don't know the proper technique, then ask your dentist to show you the right way to floss. This way you will not hurt your gums and avoid bleeding gums.

Педро Веларде () (Мариедас, Кантабрия, Испания 25 октября 1779 — Мадрид 2 мая 1808) — капитан артиллерии, один из руководителей восстания жителей Мадрида против оккупации города войсками французского императора Наполеона Бонапарта.

Биография
Он родился в Муридасе, в долине Камарго (Кантабрия), в особняке-дворце Веларде (дом-дворец, в котором с 1966 года находится этнографический музей Кантабрии), в семье Хосе Антонио Веларде и его жены Марии Луизы де Сантильян.

Веларде поступил в Артиллерийскую академию в Алькасар в Сеговии в 1793 году. Педро Веларде окончил академию одним из лучших, ему было присвоено звание младшего лейтенанта в 1799 году. Веларде участвовал в войне с Португалией в 1800 году и было присвоено звание лейтенанта в 1801 году. Веларде возвратился в Академию артиллерии после войны и работал преподавателем математики и баллистики. В 1806 году он был назначен секретарём Корпуса Артиллерии.

Подразделением, присоединившимся к восставшим, были артиллеристы из казарм Monteleón. Во время восстания против французских войск 2 мая 1808 года, Веларде и 37 солдат защищали казармы артиллерии Monteleón. Веларде, наряду с  и большинством солдат, погибли в бою.

According to newspaper accounts, D.W. Smith was a resident of Rays Mill, GA in 1915. Little can be said about his family history or even what his given name was; additional historical records have not been forthcoming. Other than perhaps a bad driver, who was D.W. Smith?
Atlanta Constitution. May 16, 1915.
Valdosta, Ga., May 15 – (Special) – B.S. Richardson, a prominent real estate and insurance man , was run down and severely injured by an automobile here today.
The automobile was driven by D.W. Smith of Rays Mill, and the accident occurred in a crowded business section of Patterson street.
The front wheels of the car, which was, fortunately, a light roadster, ran over Mr. Richardson's chest after hurling him to the pavement and badly skinning his face and hands.
Smith was arrested and later gave bond and released. His car was traveling slowly at the time and was under good control. Mr. Richardson's injuries are not serious.


In the hot summer of 2018 I was called to a beautiful home in Exeter. The owner was having great difficulty with their lawn and had become thoroughly fed up with it. It needed a complete lawn regeneration treatment.
The lawn in August 2018. It was thin, very compacted and was turfed with a poor-quality fescue grass.
The main problem with this lawn was the soil. It was terribly compacted. The quality of the grass species was also a problem. Fescue turf such as this can sometimes struggle to take. It was also infested with red thread fungus and contained a lot of difficult weeds including creeping buttercups.
I have worked on a great many lawns similar to this. Even though it is possible to get them looking reasonable, ultimately it will never look great. You will be throwing good money after bad. It will need to scarified often and have fungicide treatments applied annually. This is due to the difficult thatch-creating habit of fescue turf and its tendency towards fungal infections. Even after all these extra treatments, it can still look untidy as the grass leaves are so thin.
The owner took the correct decision to solve the problem early on. A complete lawn regeneration and replacement with a modern grass species was planned.
The plan was drastic, but carried out thoroughly was sure to bring excellent results.
Total kill the entire lawn. Not only was this was needed to kill the grass, but also to control the perennial weeds which had established themselves.
Prepare the soil. The soil needed to be thoroughly de-compacted. For this lawn that mean't bringing in a medium duty petrol rotavator. This broke up the soil down to eight inches which is a good starting depth for grass roots.
Bring in topsoil to level. This was quite a big lawn. Over five hundred square meters. There was also a requirement to bring the levels up at the edges. We opted for two loads of loose topsoil (totalling twenty three tonnes) and a couple of days of barrowing and raking level.
Reseed the lawn. Once the soil work was completed, the lawn would be reseeded with a modern dwarf rye grass, giving the lawn a lovely finish.
Autumn is the best time of year to carry out this work on a lawn. The soil is warm and the weather damp. So it was ideal timing for planning this lawn work.
The lawn was killed, rotavated and cleaned. 23 tonnes of local topsoil was then applied to the lawn and raked flat. Fresh grass seed was then sown and left to germinate.
In October 2018, Just 3 weeks after sowing the lawn the grass is coming up strongly. It is a little patchy in places, but this is normal.
After a warm, wet winter the lawn grew so much that it needed cutting! Just 3 months after sowing and a couple of mows later the area was transformed. It started to thicken and germination was very even. The lawn regeneration was complete.
The lawn in January 2019 has been transformed. It is still a little thin in places, but for the middle of winter, the lawn regeneration is complete.
After a spring feed and regular mowing, this lawn will look fantastic. I will post an update later on in the year.
If you live in the Exeter area and are interested in planning a complete lawn regeneration, get in touch and I will happy to advise.

Check the Back Seat! Alerts Remind Drivers About Children
As the hot-car death rate remains stubbornly high, new sensors and other reminders are in the works; Nissan to make its alert a standard feature, a step advocates have encouraged.
Manufacturers and advocacy groups are launching devices to keep drivers aware of children in the back seat. PHOTO: ISTOCK
By Ellen Byron July 28, 2018 7:01 a.m. ET
Drivers get reminders to wear a seatbelt, turn off the headlights and close the gas-tank door. Now, they're also getting alerts to check the back seat for young passengers.
This year 29 children have died from vehicular heatstroke, on pace to make 2018 one of the deadliest on record, according to KidsAndCars.org, a child-safety advocacy group. Heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash vehicular deaths for children younger than 15, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The number of deaths—an annual average of 37—has remained stubbornly consistent for years. Most are caused when children are unknowingly left in a car.
Amid concerns that the number of deaths hasn't declined, more measures to prevent them are under way. New car technologies, phone apps, car seats and education efforts aim to keep drivers aware of young back-seat passengers.
Nissan plans to announce on Tuesday a system that will remind drivers to check for occupants in the back seat. Nissan's system will become standard on all four-door trucks, cars and SUVs with power locks by its 2022 model year. Nissan is believed to be the first to make such an alert a standard feature across its fleet of applicable vehicles, a move safety-advocates have long recommended.
Last year, Nissan made the technology standard on its Pathfinders; more vehicles will have it this year. The system detects when the rear door is opened and closed before and while the car is on. After a trip ends, a reminder to check the back seat appears on the dashboard. If the rear door isn't opened, the horn "chirps" six times.

"No one ever thinks it could happen to them until it happens to them," says Elsa Foley, a Nissan industrial engineer. "Making this a standard feature is one thing we can do to help."
This year General Motors expanded its rear-seat reminder system, available since 2016, to 29 models. It plans to make the alert standard on most four-door vehicles, says Tricia Morrow, a GM safety strategy engineer.
This month, some of Hyundai Motor 's 2019 Santa Fe models are hitting dealerships with a new rear-occupant alert system. It involves a motion sensor that sounds the horn if movement is detected inside the back seat for up to 24 hours after the car is turned off. The system also sends an alert to the owner's phone.
Hyundai hopes the motion sensor will save children whom a driver has left behind as well as children who enter a car on their own but can't get out—the cause of nearly one-third of hot-car deaths, according to KidsAndCars.org.
The auto makers' moves come as the Hot Cars Act of 2017 makes its way through Congress, so far with bipartisan support. The law would require auto makers to equip all new cars with systems that alert drivers to check the back seat once the car is turned off.
Tragic Toll
Vehicular heatstroke deaths of children increased in the 1990s as states required that car seats be placed in the back to avoid front-seat air bags.
"You have a reminder to put on your seat belt, take your keys from the ignition and that you've left your headlights on," says Janette Fennell, president of KidsAndCars.org, which is backing the legislation. "Who decided that it's more important not to have a dead car battery than a dead baby?"
Even on cool days cars can heat up quickly, rising nearly 20 degrees Fahrenheit in just 10 minutes, experts say. Because a child's body heats up three to five times as fast as an adult's, heatstroke sets in swiftly. To highlight the risk, the Weather Channel developed the "Scorching Car Scale." For example, if the forecast for Omaha is 86 degrees Fahrenheit, after 10 minutes it will be 105 degrees inside a car, and after 30 minutes it will be 120 degrees.
"The hope is those numbers will be shocking to individuals and they'll pay attention," says Mike Chesterfield, director of weather presentation for the Weather Channel. "A lot of people assume that if they crack a window they'll lower the temperature in the car, but studies have found that it will have very little effect."
This month, the Weather Channel and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrationannounced an effort to raise awareness of the risk of hot cars. The move is part of Nhtsa's new push this summer to encourage bystanders to act if they see a child alone in a car. "Anybody can notice that there's a child in the car, dial 911 and make a rescue," says Heidi King, Nhtsa's deputy administrator.
Parent-communication apps used by schools and daycare centers are adding notification tools to alert families when a child doesn't arrive. Tadpoles, an app used annually by more than 3,000 child-care centers, recently launched its "Unexpected Absence" feature. "Rather than blaming parents, we need early-childhood programs to think like partners and figure out a solution," says Kai-leé Berke, CEO of Teaching Strategies, which owns Tadpoles.

Ms. Berke says the change was inspired by Karen Osorio, a Procter & Gamble scientist who lost her daughter to vehicular heatstroke last year. Ms. Osorio, her husband and severalP&G colleagues formed the Sofia Foundation for Children's Safety to educate parents and others about the risk of hot-car deaths. The foundation has been reaching out to pediatricians and parents, urging drivers to put a "bag in the back." If drivers get accustomed to placing a frequently used item such as a bag in the back seat, they will habitually check the back seat every time they leave the car, Ms. Osorio says.
This month, P&G's Pampers brand began distributing in hospitals pamphlets that include the "bag in the back" advice, reaching about 500,000 families, the company says.

Goodbaby International, maker of Evenflo and Cybex car seats, in 2015 introduced a sensor system on some models' chest clips, which chimes after the ignition is turned off, reminding the driver that a child is in the car. The feature can be linked to users' cellphones, including notifying designated contacts if initial alerts to a caregiver go unanswered, the company says.
Homespun efforts are also on the rise. Ms. Fennell keeps a list of more than 300 people who have sent her organization product ideas. This month KidsAndCars.org began promoting "CellSlip," a pouch that blocks mobile phone signals. Keeping a phone in the pouch in the back seat cuts down on distractions while driving and provides another reason to check the back of the car before walking away, Ms. Fennell says.
Another idea comes from a Florida company, Sense A Life Corp. , which has developed a wireless sensor technology that gives drivers multiple alerts. Sense a Life's CEO, Fadi Shamma, is a pharmacist by day who has spent most nights and weekends in recent years working on the system with his neighbor, Jim Friedman, an electrical engineer. "We kept hearing about these deaths and knew we had to do something," Mr. Shamma says.
