Steel Yard Kelham is a new vibrant retail hub and events space that brings together a selected mix of Independent businesses in a unique environment.
Consisting of 56 shipping containers over 2 floors with a central open event space, Steel Yard Kelham offers bespoke leases with easy in, easy out terms, making it an ideal environment for new business start-ups. Situated on the edge of Kelham Island and at the base of the proposed new Sheffield Ski Village, this will surely be the starting point for visitors to explore Kelham Island.
Governments, Councils and various agencies are under extreme pressure to tackle what has become a serious epidemic across the UK. At Steel Yard, we believe our 'Sleeper' system allows this issue to be addressed short, medium and long term. Using shipping container architecture allows it to be scalable and deployed with such ease, demand can be serviced through rapid deployment to any site through its plug and play technology.
Multiple units can be connected to add more bedroom space for larger groups. Additional units can be added to house support services and networking facilities. All units can be externally cladded to help with the aesthetics of the desired location.
All specifications will comply to Building Regulations and can be altered to accommodate individuals with disability needs. Governments, Councils and Agencies are under extreme budget constraints, but we believe we have a solution to meet those challengers.
Each unit is for sale outright OR Steel Yard will fund the total supply, installation and management in exchange for suitable sites and needs. This can be undertaken on all sites that have been earmarked for development on short, medium or long-term agreements. Units can be installed and moved to another site if required with minimal disruption.
A number of Councils across the UK have shown interests to take these units on a joint venture basis to tackle local issues and we believe our Sleeper unit is a fantastic solution to help vulnerable individuals with accommodation and mentoring needs.
As part of the plans there will be also be integrated cycle hubs to help with the lack of parking, a problem which those who already live and work in the area will already be well acquainted with. But that's not to say there won't be plenty to attract those looking for an evening out in Kelham Island.
Along with a bistro, yoga studios and a tattoo parlour, you can expect the kind of useful services that could transform the area from cool evening spot to a place where people can live and work.

Green Party Respond To Government Review Of Housing Settings

It is a positive step that the Government is looking at options to take the heat out of the housing market, and has written to the Reserve Bank to that effect, but they must be open to using all the tools available to them, Green Party Co-leader and spokesperson on Housing Marama Davidson said today.
"We are glad that Government is exploring options to address the housing crisis, but it is disappointing that they've dug their heels in on measures that could help fix the problem.
"It is a disservice to New Zealanders not to use all of the tools in the toolbox to fix this runaway housing crisis, and that includes taxing wealth or capital.
"When the Government ruled out a Capital Gains Tax, we weren't in the midst of a global pandemic with an economic downturn and skyrocketing house prices", Green Party Finance spokesperson Julie Anne Genter said today.
"Other options we will put forward outside of critical tax reform could be doing more to take pressure off monetary policy, for example by stimulating the economy through raising benefits and building more quality, affordable, public and community housing.
"Blaming the RMA is a tired excuse. No doubt the RMA needs fixing, but it's only one factor. It won't fix property speculation or land-banking.
"It is time to courageously put the case for measures that will help end growing inequality in this country".

La «reconciliación nacional» fue la propuesta política hecha desde la clandestinidad por el Partido Comunista de España (PCE) en junio de 1956, al acercarse la conmemoración de los veinte años del inicio de la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939). Con ella daba un giro a su estrategia de lucha contra la dictadura franquista y reconocía el fracaso de la política anterior de apoyo a las guerrillas como instrumento para terminar con ella.

Historia
En un «estudio de campo» sobre las actitudes de la población hacia el régimen durante el primer franquismo en la provincia de Valencia, basado en entrevistas a personas que habían vivido ese tiempo y publicado en 1999, se constataba que la posición predominante era la de «ambigüedad». «No suponía necesariamente ninguna aceptación del mismo y podía expresar una actitud de aislamiento y no colaboración con la política oficial. Pero excluía también la idea de la oposición o resistencia activa». Era una «normalidad sin política» producto de «la necesidad de reencontrar una sensación de orden tras la Guerra Civil, el miedo a la represión y la simple lucha por la supervivencia física», que implicaba también «la idea del olvido del enfrentamiento, del nunca más, y una voluntad de reconciliación». Como constataban los autores del estudio, la idea de la reconciliación, del nunca más repetir la tragedia de la guerra civil española, «es algo que vino original y fundamentalmente de abajo, se instaló muy pronto en la sociedad y anticipó en muchos años algunas estrategias de la oposición, la política de reconciliación nacional del PCE o el giro en idéntico sentido de sectores de la Iglesia».

En febrero de 1956 se produjeron unos incidentes violentos en la Universidad de Madrid como resultado del enfrentamiento entre estudiantes que se estaban manifestando a favor de elecciones libres al SEU y un grupo de falangistas que venían de celebrar la ceremonia anual del «Día del estudiante caído». En la reyerta hubo un estudiante falangista gravemente herido de un balazo en el cuello —probablemente por disparo de uno de sus compañeros, que iban armados—. El clima de crisis se extendió rápidamente y la policía procedió a detener a los responsables de la convocatoria de la asamblea de estudiantes que, para su sorpresa, resultaron ser algunos de ellos antiguos falangistas e hijos de personalidades del régimen franquista. Los acontecimientos de febrero de 1956 constituyeron el primer atisbo de un renacimiento de la oposición antifranquista interna, que procedía no de la República, sino de una nueva generación que había crecido bajo el Régimen en los años 50, y que comenzaba a organizarse como oposición sin que importara el campo en que hubieran militado ellos mismos o sus padres durante la guerra civil.

Los comunistas fueron los primeros en captar ese nuevo hecho y antes que ningún otro partido lo consagraron como estrategia oficial. Así en el pleno del Comité Central del PCE celebrado en Praga se aprobó la nueva política de «Reconciliación Nacional», que buscaba el entendimiento con todas las fuerzas antifranquistas independientemente de en qué bando hubieran combatido en la Guerra Civil. Sin embargo, la tarea no iba a resultar sencilla, y tanto la «Jornada de Reconciliación Nacional» del 5 de mayo de 1958, como la «Huelga Nacional Pacífica», del 18 de junio de 1959, convocadas por el PCE fueron un completo fracaso.

El manifiesto que hizo público en junio de 1956 el Partido Comunista de España (y que fue transmitido por Radio España Independiente) decía lo siguiente:

Foliage: Large, waxy, up to 5" wide, and usually twice as long; leaf shape variable, but typically lance-shaped. The leaves are long-petioled (petioles averaging 4.5 cm.). The multiple veins of the leaves are orientated in a parallel arrangement starting at the base. However, rosettes of submerged, ribbon-like leaves can also be produced.
Flower: Spike of violet-blue flowers with two yellow spots. Sometimes the flowers are white.
Range in New Jersey: Frequent in water along streams throughout the state, extending well back into the heart of the Pine Barrens.
The variety angustifolia Pursh seems to be merely an extreme leaf from such as we find in Sagittaria and other aquatic plants (Stone, 327).
Pickerel Weed, from attraction of young pike (Esox lucius) to its underwater roots for cover.
Pickerelweed is rhizotamous and a colonizer. Pollinated by bees.
According to Elias. T. and Dykeman. P. Field Guide to N. American Edible Wild Plants, and Facciola. S. Cornucopia - A Source Book of Edible Plants, Seeds can be eaten raw, cooked like rice or dried and ground into a powder. Young leafstalks are edible raw or cooked.
Pontederia after Guilio Pontedera, 1688-1756, professor of botany at Padua; cordata, heart shaped (refering to the leaves).


Making the outside of a house picture perfect is the first step in getting it sold. Would-be buyers won't want to see inside if the outside isn't attractive. Regardless of freshly painted walls, hardwood floors and new appliances inside, they won't make it in the door if the outside turns them off.
You've probably driven by a house that had zero curb appeal, making you look twice for all the wrong reasons. But you've also driven by the house with an immaculate yard, grass and hedges trimmed to perfection, colorful plants, flowers or bushes on display, no matter what the season. It makes a difference, and if yours isn't quite there yet, now is the time to start.
The next time you drive up to your home, do your own evaluation. How does the front walk, driveway and landscaping look to you? Is it inviting, bushes neatly trimmed, leaves raked and grass mowed? And if it's off season, is it still in ship-shape with bare trees waiting to sprout leaves and dormant flowers waiting for the earth to warm. (Can you tell I'm ready for spring?) Beautiful landscaping can and should be a year round thing.
Does your home exterior look neat and clean? If you have siding or brick, does it need a good pressure-washing? Or maybe it's time for that paint job you've been putting off. Check the shutters, window trim, and railing to make sure they are in good shape and not in need of maintenance. Do shingles need replacing and could the windows use a good washing?
If you have outside furniture be sure that it's comfortable and inviting. Are the numbers on your mailbox still readable? House numbers as well as the front doorknob or handle set can make the house look old, or they can present a welcoming impression to a home buyer. Think about painting the door a fresh new color.
Add color by filling planters with seasonal flowers and placing them at your front door, at the side of the garage entry and in the yard. Buy a new welcome mat.
Look in the windows. Are the curtain colors blending with the outside, or do colors clash, distracting the buyer from a great view of the front? Are curtains in need of cleaning, or maybe they should be changed altogether.
Keep items such as bicycles, toys, garbage cans and other debris out of the yard, leaving it clutter-free. Neatness outside tells a buyer that the people living there probably keep it neat on the inside too.
Remember, first impressions do matter.


87% believe the Government could do more to recruit and retain Nurses and Midwives in Ireland.
With Irish nurses and midwives planning to strike later in month as a pay dispute with the Government rumbles on, iReach has conducted a nationally representative survey of 1001 people to understand what people in Ireland make of the situation.
The findings demonstrate the great level of sympathy the public have for nurses and midwives, as well the widespread feeling that the Irish Government could do more to make their working conditions more favourable and attractive.
The results also indicate that support and sympathy for nurses and midwives is significantly higher among women rather men in Ireland.
64% of respondents support the nursing strike, though interestingly, support is far higher among females at 71% than it is with males, at just 56%. Additionally, 27% of males oppose the strike whereas only 11% of females disagree with the planned action.
65% of the overall population believe that is unfair that nurses are paid less in comparison to their healthcare counterparts, such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Yet, once again there is a discrepancy in the level of sympathy for nurses and midwives between males and females. 71% of females felt that the pay conditions of nurses are unfair with the figure for males substantially lower again at 59%.
On the question of whether the Government could do more to recruit and retain nurses and midwives in Ireland, a rather emphatic 87% of those asked believed that more could be done. It is notable again that female respondents (90%) are more demanding than males (83%) in looking for action from the Irish Government.


An alternative approach to global affairs would concentrate on vital U.S. national interests and maintain the tools necessary to defend them. It would also reject the need for global hegemony. The idea that we can only be safe once the world is remade in our image is riddled with logical fallacies. Moreover, an interests-driven foreign policy would take seriously the consequences of our actions abroad and here at home — on our soldiers, our fiscal health, and our principles.
Primacists hold that it would simply be too dangerous to allow allied countries to defend themselves or independently assert their interests; therefore, the United States must do it for them. Though such a strategy encourages free riding, primacists are more worried by the prospect that allies' self-defense efforts might fail, necessitating more costly U.S. intervention later and under less favorable circumstances. U.S. security guarantees, the primacists say, tamp down the natural inclination of states to want to provide security for themselves, thus preventing allies from engaging in arms build-ups that might unsettle their neighbors, perhaps even unleashing regional arms races.
Unfortunately — but predictably given what theory and history teach us — primacy has been neither easy to implement nor cheap to sustain. When the U.S. military is called upon to fight wars across the globe, the human toll is considerable. Since 9/11 and through 2014, nearly 7,000 U.S. troops have been killed, 52,000 have been wounded in action, and close to a million veterans have registered disability claims.
The fiscal burdens of primacy are severe as well. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost the United States trillions of dollars, some of which we will be paying for many decades in the form of additional debt servicing and veteran care. And primacy guarantees more fighting in the future — and the bills that come with it.
Of course, we ought to have a strong defense. But, under primacy, the U.S. military is expected both to stop threats from materializing and to stomp out any fires it fails to prevent. That expectation requires us to maintain the world's largest and most active military. Notwithstanding the false claims that the Budget Control Act is responsible for "gutting national defense", or the widespread belief that the U.S. military has been hollowed out and needs to be rebuilt, the U.S. military is the preeminent fighting force in the world. No state can match U.S. global power-projection capabilities. And U.S. military spending remains near historic highs. In inflation-adjusted dollars, military spending — both war and non-war — averaged $612 billion per year during President George W. Bush's two terms in office. Under President Barack Obama, it has averaged $675 billion. The United States will have spent nearly $500 billion more on the military in the Obama years than during the Bush years.
The United States spends at least as much on its military as the next eight countries worldwide and nearly three times more than China and Russia combined. Although not all of that money is spent wisely, it still buys incomparable capabilities. No sensible American should wish to trade places with any other country on earth. The U.S. military is second to none, and our massive economy is a solid foundation for generating military power when it is needed..
In the current strategic environment, the United States could easily spend less and still safeguard America's vital interests. It could do so through smarter spending, eliminating wasteful gold-plated programs such as the F-35, and demanding greater burden-sharing from allies. At present, U.S. security guarantees to wealthy allies cause them to underprovide for their own defense, meaning they have less capacity to help us deal with common security challenges.
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen warned that debts and deficits represent threats to not just our fiscal health but our national security as well. Although military spending is not the primary driver of the nation's massive and unprecedented fiscal imbalance, primacy's high costs undermine our economic security.
Such expenditures might still be justified if they were instrumental in keeping Americans safe. But, in fact, primacy is based on a number of faulty premises, including: (a) that the United States is subjected to more urgent and prevalent threats than ever before; (b) that U.S. security guarantees reassure nervous allies and thus contribute to global peace and stability; and (c) that a large and active U.S. military is essential to the health of the international economy.
Primacists hold that the United States cannot adopt a wait-and-see attitude with respect to distant trouble spots. They believe that the security of all states are bound together and that threats to others are actually threats to the United States. Primacists believe that instability and crises abroad will adversely affect American interests if they are allowed to fester. "The alternative to Pax Americana—the only alternative—is global disorder," writes the Wall Street Journal's Bret Stephens, with emphasis. Because any problem, in any part of the world, could eventually threaten U.S. security or U.S. interests, primacy aims to stop all problems before they occur.
This assumption is based on a very selective reading of world history, grossly exaggerates the United States' ability to control outcomes, and underplays its costs. It also miscasts the nature of the threats that are facing us.
Technology has not evaporated the seas, allowing large land armies to march across the ocean floor. Meanwhile, potential challengers like China face more urgent problems that will diminish their desire and ability to project power outside of their neighborhood. They can cause trouble in the South China Sea, but that does not mean they can or will in the South Pacific or the Caribbean. China's economic troubles and rising popular unrest, for example, could constrain Chinese military spending increases and focus Beijing's attention at home. Causing problems abroad would threaten critical trading relations that are essential to the health of the Chinese economy.
Primacists argue that we cannot rely on oceans to halt nuclear missiles that fly over them or cyberattacks in the virtual realm. And terrorists could infiltrate by land, sea, or air, or they could be grown right here at home. But our own nuclear weapons provide a powerful deterrent against state actors with return addresses, and a massive, forward-deployed military is not the best tool for dealing with terrorists and hackers. The hard part is finding them and stopping them before they act. That is a job for the intelligence and law enforcement communities, respectively. And small-footprint military units like special operations forces can help as needed.
There have always been dangers in the world, and there always will be. To the extent that we can identify myriad threats that our ancestors could not fathom, primacy compounds the problem. By calling on the United States to deal with so many threats, to so many people, in so many places, primacy ensures that even distant problems become our own.
Restraining our impulse to intervene militarily or diplomatically when our safety and vital national interests are not threatened would reduce the likelihood that our friends and allies will engage in such reckless behavior in the first place. Plus, a more restrained foreign policy would encourage others to assume the burden of defending themselves.
Such a move on the part of our allies could prove essential, given that primacy has not stopped our rivals from challenging U.S. power. Russia and China, for example, have resisted the U.S. government's efforts to expand its influence in Europe and Asia. Indeed, by provoking security fears, primacy exacerbates the very sorts of problems that it claims to prevent, including nuclear proliferation. U.S. efforts at regime change and talk of an "axis of evil" that needed to be eliminated certainly provided additional incentives for states to develop nuclear weapons to deter U.S. actions (e.g., North Korea).
Meanwhile, efforts intended to smother security competition or hostile ideologies have destabilized vast regions, undermined our counterterrorism efforts, and even harmed those we were ostensibly trying to help. After U.S. forces deposed the tyrant Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraq descended into chaos and has never recovered. The civil war in Syria, and the problem of the Islamic State in particular, is inextricable from the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq. The situation in Libya is not much better — the United States helped overthrow Muammar al-Qaddafi in 2011, but violence still rages. The Islamic State, which originated in Iraq, has now established a presence in Libya as well, provoking still more U.S. military action there. It is clear that those interventions were counterproductive and have failed to make America safer and more secure, yet primacists call for more of the same.
Lastly, primacists contend that U.S. military power is essential to the functioning of the global economy. "U.S. security commitments," explain leading primacists Stephen G. Brooks, G. John Ikenberry, and William C. Wohlforth, "help maintain an open world economy and give Washington leverage in economic negotiations." The United States sets the rules of the game and punishes those who disobey them. If the United States were less inclined to intervene in other people's disputes, the primacists say, the risk of war would grow, roiling skittish markets. But such claims exaggerate the role that U.S. ground forces play in facilitating global trade, especially given the resiliency and flexibility of global markets in the face of regional instability. Moreover, primacists ignore the extent to which past U.S. military activism has actually undermined market stability and upset vital regions. Smart alternatives to primacy feature a significant role for the U.S. Navy and Air Force in providing security in the global commons while avoiding the downsides of onshore activism.
In conclusion, America's default foreign policy is unnecessarily costly and unnecessarily risky. Its defenders misconstrue the extent to which U.S. military power has contributed to a relatively peaceful international system, and they overestimate our ability to sustain an active global military posture indefinitely.
The United States needs an alternative foreign policy, one that focuses on preserving America's strength and advancing its security, and that expects other countries to take primary responsibility for protecting their security and preserving their interests. America's leaders should restrain their impulse to use the U.S. military when our vital interests are not directly threatened while avoiding being drawn into distant conflicts that sap our strength and undermine our safety and values.

As a child, some of my earliest memories somehow related to creating something. From sewing to painting, I have been making things most of my life. I studied law, and throughout my career, art was my escape from the concrete world, where I could freely express a sense of emotion on paper, and in some radical way connect with the viewer of my art.
Facing a personal challenge I painted 2 doors as a symbol that no matter what life throws your way, you have a choice to either procrastinate or open up the door to new opportunities. This was the start of a journey which had grown in leaps in bounds.
I established myself with an art studio in Centurion, South Africa. Since then a number of my pieces found homes with South African and European families. My work reflects a search for reconciliation of one's spirituality, by the use of Chiaroscuro, where three-dimensional volume is suggested by the value gradation of colour and the analytical division of light and shadow.
The source of my inspiration is the French and Italian landscapes with a combination of inner feelings and imagination. My paintings are the incorporation of all of that, with the various ups and downs in my personal life.
I work with a variety of mediums such as oils, acrylics, and charcoal and impasto techniques to achieve three-dimensional volume.
My work can be viewed on my website at www.le-artiste.com or live from a selected number of South African art galleries.
I am exploring international opportunities and will be attending my second exhibition in Paris in 2016.
I continue believing that everyone is an artist in some way. Whether it is the presentation of a fine meal or the construction of a beautiful home, the wording of a contract or the way a mother raises a child.
Each of us has the ability to make art.
Mine just happens to be in paint.

US comic and civil rights activist Dick Gregory dies at 84
By Tokunbo Salako with REUTERS • last updated: 20/08/2017
The US comedian Dick Gregory has died in Washington D.C after being hospitalised for a week.
He was 84. Gregory, who lived in Washington, suffered heart failure in Sibley Memorial Hospital.
"It is with enormous sadness that the Gregory family confirms that their father, comedic legend and civil rights
activist Mr. Dick Gregory departed this earth tonight in Washington, D.C.," his son, Christian, wrote on Instagram.
Gregory took an active role in the American civil rights movement during the 1960s and used his humour to break down racial barriers by spreading messages of social justice.
His success as a comedian helped paved the way for other black comics, such as Richard Pryor, to gain greater fame by reaching a mainstream audience.
He briefly sought political office, and ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Chicago in 1966 and US president in 1968.
Gregory's stand-up comedy tackled racism, often with quips that took his audience by surprise. "Segregation is not all bad," he once joked. "Have you ever heard of a collision where the people in the back of the bus got hurt?" If his comedy routine was at times disarming, his civil rights activism left no doubt where he stood.

India's top Muslim cleric wants govt to change its ways
PM Modi's party seeks to mend fences with the Islamic community ahead of national elections next May
Indian Muslims leave after attending prayers on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan at the Jama Masjid in the old quarters of New Delhi on June 8. The pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national government has been accused of not doing enough to help the nation's Muslim population who have been "targeted and abused."

Umar Manzoor Shah, Srinagar
The chief cleric of India's Muslims, who comprise more than 14 percent of the nation's 1.2 billion people, has accused the pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national government of abusing practitioners of Islam.
Maulana Syed Ahmed Bukhari, popularly known as Shahi Imam, issued a public statement after a June 9 meeting with the federal minister for parliamentary affairs, Vijay Goel, held ahead of elections due next May.
Bukhari, who leads prayers at India's largest mosque, New Delhi's Jamia Masjid, had previously spoken out against the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had a landslide election win in 2014.
BJP leaders are now trying to improve their image with Muslims in the majority-Hindu nation, but Bukhari underscored the challenge they face. While more positive treatment of India's 172 million Muslims would be welcome, Bukhari stressed that the BJP had lost considerable support.
"They (BJP) leaders have come to us but Muslims are targeted and abused. There is one year left for election if they do something, it's welcome but we have a lot of complaints," Bukhari said in his statement.
Observers note that Bukhari's renewed criticism of the government could, in itself, damage the BJP's election prospects.
The BJP in 2014 won 282 of 543 seats in the national parliament, but Modi's popularity has since waned.
A survey conducted by India Today television in May showed that only 34 percent of those polled expressed a preference for Modi as prime minister, a two percent drop.
His Congress Party rival, Rahul Gandhi, improved his popularity by 10 percent to 26 percent as measured by those who want him to be the next prime minister.
During the 2014 elections, eight percent of Muslims voted for the BJP, nearly double the 2009 share, according to the Delhi-based Centre for the Study of Developing Societies.
However, this time would be different, stressed Iqbal Ahmad, a New Delhi based political commentator.
Muslims under BJP rule felt more vulnerable and insecure than ever before, he said.
"There are several cases of failed justice for crimes committed against Muslims and this has disheartened the community," Ahmad added.
He cited the rape and murder of an 8-year-old Muslim girl from Jammu and Kashmir state by hard-line Hindus and allegedly open support for the accused by elements of the BJP.
"In April, an Indian court overturned the conviction of senior BJP member Maya Kodnani who was sentenced to 28 years in jail for her part in the murder of 97 people in 2002 in the state of Gujarat," Ahmad said.
"These things are clear examples of the BJP's vindictive mindset against Muslims."
Babur Jan, a lawyer based in Jammu and Kashmir, accused the national government of openly patronizing anti-Muslim groups.
Jan said many people believed that political interference resulted in a court in April acquitting 11 people accused over a 2007 mosque explosion in the south-eastern city of Hyderabad that killed nine people.
He said this year BJP ruled Uttar Pradesh state began the process of withdrawing more than 130 communal violence-related prosecution cases, including against Hindu politicians allegedly involved in instigating 2013 clashes that cost the lives of 42 Muslims and 20 Hindus.
Ankita Das, a civil society activist based in New Delhi, told ucanews.com that Muslims had reason to feel they received "step-motherly treatment" from the BJP.
This had included numerous references to Muslims being foreigners who should leave India.
Such things would not be forgotten when Muslims vote, Das predicted.


Last September, I sent a private email to the people who have subscribed to this blog. It was the first time I have ever sent a message to my "subscriber list" and I was delighted by the people who so kindly replied! I wholeheartedly read each and every email response, but I did not have time to write back to everyone. Some of the responses brought tears to my eyes, they meant THAT much to me. Thank you!
But the "more formal post" later that month never happened.
I underestimated how much work it would take to switch clinics. Learning my way around a new workplace felt like I moved to a new home and couldn't find the light switch when I woke up in the morning. Because I am the only doctor there that provides naturopathic pediatric care, there were a few extra things that I needed to set-up that were not already in place. This included launching a Vaccines for Children (VFC) program with the state of Washington and a lot of emails to my colleagues about making the office as kid friendly as possible. Don't you wish you could be the recipient of my "that's not kid friendly" emails?
Keep in mind that the Wendy's Eating Husband likes to regularly point out that my biggest character flaw is biting off more than I can chew.
Then, right after I started at Interactive Health Clinic, I taught urology class two weeks in a row to naturopathic medical students at Bastyr University. The first week I taught about Interstitial Cystitis, which I LOVED. When I was sick, suffering from bladder spasms that felt like my bladder was contracting on a garbage bag full of rusty razor blades, I had no idea that there was a way out of this suffering, and that later in my life, I'd be standing in front of the next generation of naturopathic doctors saying, "There is a way." And it's true. People, you can heal from interstitial cystitis.
During the second week of Urology guest lecturing, I talked about male fertility. I wrote a post from some of the awesome stuff I learned.
Then, after all that, Dr. Eric Yarnell ND, who is writing the next naturopathic urology textbook, asked me to help him with his book. I did a little bit of editing work for him and also wrote a chapter about vasectomies. I felt so honored to help him, but at the same time, I struggled with feeling like I let him down because I literally squeezed this into the tiny margins of my life. I love writing, I love urology, and I love Dr. Yarnell, so it was a win-win-win.
You know what all this means, right? Not only am I an expert in interstitial cystitis, I am also an expert in chronic prostatitis, vasectomy, sperm, and male fertility.
I also made some health tip videos at Interactive Health Clinic. I loved getting to branch out into this kind of work. It was something I have never done before, and forced me to develop new skill sets. I can't wait to start making fun videos for archerfriendly! Check out my first one below and watch me be very serious (I wish you could see my eyes widen when I say the words "very serious"). The video clip shows children before it is played, making it seem as though I might not be in this video, but I promise, you'll get to see me soon after you hit play.
On a personal note, my daughter started kindergarten this fall. That has been a huge transition as I feel like managing a kindergartener alone could be a full time job with all of the scheduling and paperwork that comes home!
All this to say, that it has been a very busy, full fall, bustling with change, growth, and incredible opportunities.
My daughter uses elderberry syrup for her 4 little ones. I will pass on the other 2 tips you mentioned. She also uses garlic oil in the ear(?) she says it really helps.


In the spirit of gratitude, Artisan 57 hosted its 4th Annual Appreciation Event for our clients and community last week. Greeters wrapped each guest in a warm pink or gray pashmina – appropriate for the fall-like weather outside – and our atrium was a blur of soft scarves for the evening. What a delight to see our clients and their mothers, sisters, friends, or even husbands wrapped up!
We wanted to celebrate our clients in the best way we know how: fun, food, friends and fabulous prizes. So, local artisans as well as national product vendors joined us in offering $15,000 worth of products, services, upgrades, chocolates, wine and beer.
Dr. Alison Tendler announced the biggest giveaway during her introduction: "We're blessed and grateful for everything we have and we wanted to start giving back. That's why we have Children's Home Society here this evening." For the first time ever, Artisan 57 gave away a Halo with PRP treatment (read about Dr. Tendler's Halo Experience here) through a raffle benefitting Children's Home Society of South Dakota. The show-stopping prize helped Children's Home Society raise over $2,000 by the end of the night, proving just how generous and wonderful our clients are! Thank you for making it possible and congratulations to Talia on winning the Halo with PRP.
The Appreciation Event has become an Artisan favorite because we get to host our favorite vendors and clients in one place to share skin care secrets, try new products and laugh together.
All of you are gifts in our lives. Cheers to you!

Fifty percent of parents don't go outside to play with their children. Thirty percent of kindergartens don't have recess--a sacrifice made in order to focus on testing skills. Unsafe outdoor conditions often lead children to stay indoors with screens.
Toys are fantastic for developing problem-solving ability. Parents may limit the child's interactions by telling the child how to play. You can ask prompting questions if the child seems stuck, but let the youngster resolve the toy.

That's not so bad. There's no trio of cute multi-ethnic kids, for a start. Although with only a picture to go on it's still possible that the TARDIS talks with a motherly voice.
"But even if it turns out bad, remember, it could have been so much worse...."True.
I rather like it! At least it's colourful.


As far as consolation prizes go, Brock Boeser got a dandy.
Friday afternoon Boeser, a forward in his sophomore season at the University of North Dakota, was playing in the quarterfinals of the NCAA men's hockey tournament. Boeser and the Fighting Hawks lost to the Terriers 4-3 in double overtime, opening the door for Boeser to join the Canucks.
Logistics, you're thinking, must have been a nightmare. And they were. After spending some time with teammates post-game, Boeser signed an entry-level contract with the Canucks Friday night and Saturday morning his UND coach Brad Berry drove him to the airport for a short hour flight from Fargo, North Dakota, to Saint Paul. Boeser's agent Ben Hankinson picked him up from the airport and by the time he arrived at the Xcel Energy Center, the NHL had approved the contract and he was officially a Canucks forward.
Boeser, the 23rd overall pick in the 2015 draft, wore No. 16 at UND, but that number is kind of off limits with the Canucks. Alas he became the first forward and 12th Canucks player to wear No. 6, in a tribute to his friend Ty Alyea, a former baseball teammate who died in a vehicle accident in 2014.
There were a lot of questions in the Vancouver dressing room when the team arrived and there was a No. 6 jersey and helmet in a player stall.
It wasn't long before Boeser was kicking the soccer ball around with the guys. He didn't look nervous in the least; it could have been his 100th NHL game coming up instead of his first.
Boeser was again cool as can be when forced to skate a solo rookie lap during pre-game warm-up – without a helmet. Someone hid it, so he was bucketless until the team hit the ice.
The nerves got the best of Boeser pre-game, however.
His dad, Duke, and mother, Laurie, were honorary Canucks in the dressing room before the team went out to start the game. They surprised their son and read the Canucks starting line-up, leaving Boeser's name for last.
Duke was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2010 and is unable to work after spending 31 years as the owner of Boeser Painting. Laurie works two jobs to support the family. The Boesers are as tight-knit as families come and this moment was very special to them.
As for the line-up itself, coach Willie Desjardins had Boeser in the starting line-up alongside Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Chris Tanev aaaaaaaand Sbisa?
Before puck drop, Boeser's first NHL experience was ready to be made into a Disney movie. That was before he scored to become the 18th Canucks player to light the lamp in their debut. The goal stood as the game-winner and Boeser was named the game's first star.
Post-game Boeser shook hands, hugged or kissed every member of his 50 person entourage, before tweeting a group photo from Air Canucks en route to Winnipeg.
And to think, his career has only just begun.

Lyft Is Trying to Make Big Gains with Corporate Travel Managers
Hannah Sampson, Skift
- Apr 27, 2016 6:30 am
Lyft still has lots of ground to cover if it wants to catch up to Uber's business with corporate clients, but the company is smart to get in front of managers who make decisions about employee travel.
— Hannah Sampson
When hundreds of travel managers and suppliers attended a conference for corporate travel executives in Dallas recently, the ridesharing company Lyft sent emails in advance offering free trips from the airport.
Lyft was a sponsor of the Association of Corporate Travel Executives event, where the company set up a booth decked out in its signature pink mustaches, participated in a panel on the sharing economy and had its chief sales officer address the several hundred attendees.
The large Lyft presence at the event — and at others geared to business travelers and those who buy or manage travel for companies — shows the company's growing focus on corporate travel amid efforts at a broader expansion.
"We think that this is very clearly a tight-knit community and that there's an opportunity to engage with people, understand their requirements, and be able to actually create a very customer-driven roadmap that is driven by their feedback," David Baga, chief sales officer, said in an interview last week during the Dallas ACTE event.
Just last week, Lyft rolled out to consumers the option of toggling between personal and business profiles within the app. The business profile sends receipts to work email, can be connected to a preferred credit card, and includes space to make a note for reporting purposes. That option was made available to corporate clients starting earlier in the year.
Lyft is integrated with Concur's expense reporting software and is in talks with other expense systems and travel management companies. Baga said the company is also exploring options for business traveler loyalty programs.
Account managers work with companies to create custom programs based on their needs and volume; Lyft offers direct incentives for employee adoption.
"We are seeing pretty tremendous changes in the corporate travel community from the time that we first really started participating in these kinds of events in the middle of last year to today," Baga said. "I think people are a lot more open to starting the conversation. Naturally they're having concerns over the legality of ride sharing, the insurance, a lot of questions about background checks and safety standards. A lot of it is people not really having visibility and understanding what we've done."
To that end, the company offers handouts assuring travel managers about its million-dollar auto insurance policy, background checks for drivers, auto inspections, and other safety features.
"The large corporate accounts have different hurdles around legal, insurance, safety, and as a result we have partnered with them to create custom solutions with them to meet their standards," Baga said.
The efforts are a continuation of "Lyft for Work," which was introduced in late 2014 as a way for companies to purchase rides for their employees. Baga wouldn't release exact numbers but said the company has "thousands of corporate customers, including some of the world's most recognizable brands from the Fortune 500."
Lyft's push into the corporate market comes as the company — which operates in 200 markets and provides more than 11 million rides a month — embarks on a major expansion for all users. This week, it ran its first national TV commercial [below]; in January, the company said it had closed a $1 billion financing round with half the money coming from GM.
Lyft is, of course, a distant second to chief rival Uber, which said late last year that more than 50,000 businesses had enrolled in its Uber for Business service, a number expected to double over the course of the following year.
According to a report from expense management software provider Certify, Uber accounted for more than 43 percent of all ground transportation transactions among its customer base in the first quarter.
But the report showed growth for Lyft, which saw a 44 percent increase in business traveler use from the end of last year to the first quarter of 2016. The company represented nearly 2.5 percent of all ground transportation transactions in the first quarter. After Uber, Rental cars made up 40 percent and taxis the final 14 percent.
"We anticipate Lyft will become a bigger player in the business travel market in 2016," the report says.

More than 1.4 million homes and businesses across New Jersey lost power as of Tuesday afternoon as powerful winds and heavy rains from Tropical Storm Isaias battered the Garden State.
That's more than 25% of the utility customers in the state and half of JCP&L's 1.1 million customers in the dark, according to outage maps provided by the three major utility companies in New Jersey.
"This storm is escalating quickly and the numbers are rapidly changing," Gov. Phil Murphy tweeted at the height of the storm. "We are in touch with all major utilities, which are working to restore power ASAP."
At a news conference earlier Tuesday, officials said restoration efforts could be slowed until winds fall below 40 mph. One gust on Long Beach Island was estimated at more than 100 mph and weather officials are investigating reports of tornadoes in South Jersey.
As of 1:45 p.m., the power outages for the three major utilities stood at 1,065,140:
JCP&L: 661,557 customers out of 1,131,720
PSE&G: 412,514 customers out of 2,326,730
Atlantic City Electric: 191,557 customers out of 545,450
The fierce winds brought down utility poles and trees across New Jersey as it marched up the I-95 corridor, prompting lane closures across major highways.
Murphy said during the briefing that the state is prepared to handle the outages, but restorations could possibly take days in some spots.

Q: Integrate JQuery with Richfaces im newbie in the world of Js , my Jquery doesn't work with richfaces. I want to do something like this : http://jsfiddle.net/bFuEv/ .
This is my code in my xhtml file :
<!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
    xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j">

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $("himessage").hide();

        $("#name").focus(function(){
         $("himessage").show();
        });
        $("#name").blur(function(){
             $("himessage").hide();
        });
    </script>

    <rich:panel>
        <h:form>
            <label>Name: </label>
            <h:outputText id="himessage" value="Hi" />
            <h:inputText id="name" class="editable" type="text"
                onfocus="this.value=''" name="name" value="#{loginAction.username}" />
        </h:form>
    </rich:panel>
</ui:composition>

How can integrate this jquery code in my page?

A: RichFaces has jquery bundled with it. To include the library, add to the page (even if multiple occurrences - jquery.js will be included only once):
<h:outputScript name="jquery.js" target="head"/>

A: The "himessage" is ID.
Its selector should be $("#himessage").
You forgot "#".
 $("#himessage").hide();

    $("#name").focus(function(){
     $("#himessage").show();
    });
    $("#name").blur(function(){
         $("#himessage").hide();
    });

A: Include jQuery library with:
<script
    src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js">

</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
        $("#himessage").hide();

        $("#name").focus(function(){
         $("#himessage").show();
        });
        $("#name").blur(function(){
             $("#himessage").hide();
        });
    </script>

I have never worked with Richfaces but it is worth a try.

A: Using view source from browser and check the ID of the element it will be appended with the form's id. If the h:form's id is hiform and the h:inputText's id is name the id of the generated input element will be hiform:name.

Q: How do I batch trim images 50% to the left with automator? I know I can batch trim images with automator for 50% horizontal, but then it get's trimmed on both sides... I need it to get 50% trimmed on just the left/right side.

A: I don't know about Automator; I'd use bash (on the command-line) for this sort of thing.
If you have ImageMagick installed (you should be able to get it from homebrew), you can use convert to cut off one side or another of an image.
This will give you the left-hand side of the image (so it will cut off the right half):
convert input.png -crop 50%x100%+0+0 output.png

 becomes
This will give you the right-hand side (cut off the left half of the image):
convert input.png -gravity east -crop 50%x100%+0+0 output.png

 becomes
To act on every file ending with .png in a given directory, you can put it in a bash for loop:
for f in *.png; do convert "$f" -crop 50%x100%+0+0 "${f%.*}-cropped.png"; done

To do so recursively (every *.png in the working directory, and every *.png in any sub-directories), use globstar:
shopt -s globstar; for f in **/*.png; do convert "$f" -crop 50%x100%+0+0 "${f%.*}-cropped.png"; done

All of these will create a separate output file (in these examples, for every file.png there will be created a file-cropped.png). To work on files without creating a separate output, use mogrify (the companion tool of convert). Of course, this will over-write your existing files, so be careful in its use. Mogrify is able to take multiple inputs from the command-line, so there is no need to use a for loop here:
mogrify -crop 50%x100%+0+0 *.png
##  Recursively:
shopt -s globstar; mogrify -crop 50%x100%+0+0 **/*.png

If you are working with a truly huge number of files (thousands), the above globs may choke; in that case, you should use find:
##  For convert:
find . -type f -name '*.png' -execdir bash -c 'convert "$0" -crop 50%x100%+0+0 "${0%.*}-cropped.png"' '{}' \;

##  For mogrify:
find . -type f -name '*.png' -execdir mogrify -crop 50%x100%+0+0 '{}' \;

You can put any of this stuff into a bash script like so:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
for f in *.png; do convert "$f" -crop 50%x100%+0+0 "${f%.*}-cropped.png"; done
exit 0

Or, a nicer-looking version:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
for f in *.png; do
  convert "$f" -crop 50%x100%+0+0 "${f%.*}-cropped.png"
done
exit 0

...save that in a plaintext file called something like crop-left.sh and set it as executable:
chmod u+x crop-left.sh

To use it from the command-line, it would be
./crop-left.sh

I don't know how to fit this into Automator, since I've never used that program, but it probably can be done.
