The path taken by the nerve impulses in a reflex is called a reflex arc. In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. ... Reflexes do not require involvement of the brain, although in some cases the brain can prevent reflex action.
The hippocampus, located in the brain's temporal lobe, is where episodic memories are formed and indexed for later access.
cranium
The brain and spinal cord are protected by bony structures — the skull and spinal column. Meninges are membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord.
The meninges refer to the membranous coverings of the brain and spinal cord. There are three layers of meninges, known as the dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater. These coverings have two major functions: Provide a supportive framework for the cerebral and cranial vasculature.
The brain is protected by the bones of the skull and by a covering of three thin membranes called meninges. The brain is also cushioned and protected by cerebrospinal fluid. This watery fluid is produced by special cells in the four hollow spaces in the brain, called ventricles.
Between the skull and brain is the meninges, which consist of three layers of tissue that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord. ... This membrane is thin and delicate and covers the entire brain. There is a space between the dura and the arachnoid membranes that is called the subdural space.
Being surrounded by CSF helps the brain float inside the skull, like a buoy in water. Because the brain is surrounded by fluid, it floats like it weighs only 2% of what it really does. If the brain did not have CSF to float in, it would sit on the bottom of the skull.
Complete answer: The cerebrum is in direct contact with the pia mater which is the delicate innermost layer of the meninges. With dura mater and arachnoid, it consists of the meninges that surround the brain and spinal cord. It allows the blood vessels to pass through and nourish the brain cells.
The cerebellum, which means "little brain," is primarily involved in coordinating movement and balance. It can also play a role in cognitive functions like language and attention.
This article will provide an introduction to the cranial nerves which are considered primarily sensory nerves, which includes the olfactory nerve, the optic nerve, and the vestibulocochlear nerve.
There are three cranial nerves with primarily sensory function. Link to Sensory. Cranial nerve I, Olfactory, modulates smell, cranial nerve II, Optic,modulates vision. Cranial nerve VIII, Acoustovestibular, modulates hearing and balance.
Major plexuses include the cervical, brachial, lumbar, and sacral plexuses.
A myotome is, therefore, a set of muscles innervated by a specific, single spinal nerve. The term is also used in embryology to describe that part of the somite which develops into the muscles. There are 31 spinal nerves.
rami) (Latin for branch) is the anterior division of a spinal nerve. The ventral rami supply the antero-lateral parts of the trunk and the limbs. They are mainly larger than the dorsal rami.
Nerve root disorders cause pressure, pinching or stretching the nerve roots that exit or enter the spinal cord. They are usually caused by bony growths on the vertebrae and narrowing of the opening through which the nerve runs, a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease.

Report: Hornets trade Dwight Howard to Nets
Two second-round picks and cash considerations will also be included in the deal, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports.
By NBA.com Staff
Dwight Howard (Getty Images) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/NBA_Global_CMS_image_storage/a4/12/dwight-howard-062018-ftr-gettyjpg_1ei5t6mrm60yo1m5hini78052m.jpg?t=489936788&w=500
Trade season has begun. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hornets have traded eight-time All-Star Dwight Howard to the Nets for backup center Timofey Mozgov.
Charlotte is finalizing a deal to send Dwight Howard to the Brooklyn Nets for Timofey Mozgov, league sources tell ESPN. Nets will save $17M on deal in 2019-20 season, allowing them to create two max salary slots.
- Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 20, 2018
Sources: Charlotte traded Dwight Howard to Brooklyn for Timofey Mozgov, two second-rounders and cash considerations.
- Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 20, 2018
Howard is owed more money than Mozgov next season, but he will be a free agent following the 2018-19 season, a year before Mozgov's current contract expires. The trade could open up as much as $60 million in cap space for Brooklyn next offseason.
For the Hornets, the trade helps them avoid the luxury tax next season.
The trade for Charlotte is luxury tax related. The Hornets prior to the trade would have been a tax team for 2018-19 and now have a $13M cushion. The tradeoff is that Charlotte inherits the Timofey Mozgov $16.7M contract for 2019-20.
- Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) June 20, 2018
Howard is coming off the most productive season since he was last named an All-Star. In 81 games with the Hornets, the big man averaged 16.6 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per contest.
Mozgov appeared in 31 games with the Nets - starting in 13 of them - and averaged 4.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.4 blocks per game.

The texting dead
Social Links for Kyle Smith
March 31, 2013 4:00am
iZombies, by Leah Tiscione for Sunday PostScript (
On July 19, 1989, United Airlines Flight 232 from Denver to Chicago crash-landed in Sioux City, Iowa, broke up and burst into flames. A third of the 296 people on board died, but all of them might well have perished because of information overload.
The failure of the plane's rear engine led to the extraordinarily unlikely breakdown of all three of the independent hydraulic systems. The two pilots were bewildered. One of them, Alfred Haynes, later testified that the duo had never been trained for such a scenario, and as a result both were called upon to execute hundreds of decisions under unbelievable stress. The difficulty of deciding what to do next caused them to freeze up. British psychologist David Lewis said the two men were suffering from information fatigue syndrome, or IFS.
Perhaps both of their lives were saved by a pilot who wasn't even flying the plane: passenger Dennis Fitch, an off-duty flight instructor who happened to be on the plane. He volunteered to help, and the fact that he brought fresh eyes to the task — he hadn't been bombarded with all of the information the other two pilots and the flight engineer were trying to handle — was critical.
Haynes later estimated that Fitch had cut the pilots' information processing requirements by 30%, enabling them to reduce their stress level and save most of the souls onboard.
"Having too much information can be as dangerous as having too little," Lewis concluded.
So if you can't get any work done because you can't stop checking your Twitter, Facebook, texts, e-mail and Tumblr: It could be worse. Nevertheless, the stress of constant and infinite connectivity — we're all RAM and no hard drive, all present and no history, all one-liners and no reflection — will continue to have consequences.
"Our daily schedule, dividing work time from time off, is discarded. Rather we are always on," writes Douglas Rushkoff in "Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now" (Current), an attempt to grapple with our current predicament. "Our boss isn't the guy in the corner office but a PDA in our pocket. Our taskmaster is depersonalized and internalized — and even more rigorous than the union busters of yesterday. There is no safe time."
Some consequences of this permanent state of being plugged in seem bizarre: Take the drop in gum and magazine sales. Consumers waiting in line at the grocery store are ignoring the tempting racks of impulse buys that are meant to attract them while they wait. Instead, they're checking their smartphones. Gum sales fell 5% last year. Newsstand magazine sales, which were hurt by the recession, looked like they were coming back but plummeted another 12% in just the second half of last year. Magazine companies are scrambling to find other places in the store to sell their wares. One retail analyst calls smartphones "mobile blinders."
Even if you don't work at Time or Trident, though, you need to be very worried about what Alvin Toffler called "information overload" way back in 1970's "Future Shock," whose title inspired Rushkoff's.
The increased stress of being always on is being linked to adverse health effects, but what may be more surprising is the dropoff in creativity that comes with present shock: Eureka moments of sublime breakthroughs tend to arrive the way Don Draper once described the process on "Mad Men" "Think about it deeply, then forget it . . . then an idea will jump up in your face."
A researcher named Kevin Dunbar analyzed hundreds of hours of video of scientists and concluded that "the vast majority of breakthroughs did not occur when the scientists were alone staring into their microscopes or poring over data," writes Rushkoff, "but rather when they were engaged with one another at weekly lab meetings or, presumably, over lunch."
The deep concentration that sets up that moment of relaxed inspiration is becoming increasingly elusive in an era of fragmented attention spans.
Teresa Amabile of Harvard Business School studied 12,000 diary entries of 238 workers and found that people create most effectively when they concentrate intensely, not when they're being interrupted frequently. In a University of Michigan study, people whose attention was divided among several projects at once both took longer and made many more mistakes than people who completed each job before moving on to the next.
Yet we're addicted to the "dopamine squirt" of that little bit of attention being paid to us every time someone pings us. Real-world relationships suffer: witness the sad phenomenon of two people sitting in a restaurant together, each staring at their mobile devices.
"In the real world," Rushkoff notes, "94% of our communication occurs non-verbally. Our gestures, tone of voice, facial expressions, and even the size of our irises at any given moment tell the other person much more than our words do."
As Rushkoff reminds us, the pride we take in our multitasking ability is a lie. You're either here or there. We are monotaskers, period. You can shift your attention back and forth from e-mail to "Game of Thrones" if you want, but you can't process both of them at the same time. A quick glance at the sidewalks of Manhattan, where you can easily pick out the absurdly slow-moving iZombies who are checking their smartphones, reveals that even the simplest, most brainless task, like walking, is severely adversely affected when attention is focused elsewhere.
Rushkoff isn't the first to worry that our brains are being rewired as we struggle to keep up with the moment. For instance, Nicholas Carr, in his book, "The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains," noted that even when he sat down to read a book he found himself hungering to replicate the online experience of jumping around to different things.
"Any kind of thought process that requires focus on one thing is what is being disrupted," he told PBS, "and, unfortunately another thing brain science tells us is that the process of paying attention, paying deep attention, activates a lot of our deepest thought processes. Our long term memory, the building of conceptual knowledge, critical thinking, all of those things hinge on our ability to pay attention."
Moreover, our obsession with the present is self-defeating. "Our efforts to keep up with the latest tweet or update do not connect us to the present moment, but ensure that we are remaining focused on what just happened somewhere else," Rushkoff writes. "We guide ourselves and our businesses as if steering a car by watching a slide show in the rear-view mirror."
One study found people consumed three times as much information in 2008 as they did in 1960. The purpose of the machines that (increasingly) rule us rather than the reverse is seemingly to maximize the flow and storage of information. But in the elegant phrase of virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier, writing in his book "You Are Not a Gadget," "Information is alienated experience . . . Stored information might cause experience to be revealed if it is prodded in the right way. A file on a hard disk does indeed contain information of the kind that objectively exists . . . But if the bits can potentially mean something to someone, they can only do so if they are experienced. When that happens, a commonality of culture is enacted between the storer and the retriever of the bits. Experience is the only process that can de-alienate information."
The sense of alienation from even our actual literal space troubles Rushkoff. In a play on schizophrenia, Rushkoff calls the condition of being mentally in various places at once "digiphrenia." The neologism is a sign of Rushkoff's weakness, in the tradition of authors who are writing not so much to be read as to be hired as gurus, for buzzwords. The author expends much of his energy trying to squeeze and reshape modern culture to fit one of his idea-molds ("overwinding," "fractalnoia," "chronobiology" and "narrative collapse" are other coinages that seem unlikely to catch on).
Still, Rushkoff makes some resonant points. Such as this one: "If everyone in the world is your Facebook friend, then why have any Facebook friends at all? We're back where we started. The ultimate complexity is just another entropy."
Shutting out is the new hooking up: pare those virtual connections down to a manageable level. Google+ is meant to be a more restricted, less frenetic answer to Facebook; two years ago a group of NYU students launched another, less centralized, open-source social network, Diaspora, that aims to do a better job of respecting privacy than Facebook.
A risk of overconnection: you may start seeing alarming connections everywhere (this is "fractalnoia"), to the point of making you a conspiracy theorist. "Simultaneity often seems like all we have," writes Rushkoff.
"That's why anyone contending with present shock will have a propensity to make connections between things happening in the same moment — as if there had to be an underlying logic. On the business-news channels, video footage of current events or presidential press conferences plays above the digital ticker tape of real-time stock quotes. We can't help but look to see how the president's words are influencing the Dow Jones average."
Don't connections strengthen us socially, each filament making a stronger web? Rushkoff says that at the dawn of the 21st century, he was "one of the many pushing for more connectivity and openness . . . It seemed the only answer for our collapsing, top-down society was for everyone and everything to network together and communicate better and more honestly . . . our society could emulate a coral reef — where each organism and colony experiences itself as part of a greater entity."
Now he takes a more cautious stance: today it's evident that a tweet can ruin a company (or a congressman), a "fat finger trade" can cause a stock market crash, the collapse of a small economy in the Mediterranean can spark global turmoil or a handful of determined terrorists can bring down a group of office buildings and push a gigantic economy into a recession.
Even to bother to write an entire book about the cult of the present seems a bit eccentric and obtuse. "Most of my audience . . . will not be getting this far into the text," Rushkoff says, accurately, on the penultimate page. The public will read excerpts and get the gist, like the student of Rushkoff's who said he got the gist of "Hamlet" by reading only the "to be or not to be" speech.
In the years it took him to write "Present Shock" Rushkoff could have simply joined the flow of the present: "I could have written dozens of articles, hundreds of blog posts, and thousands of tweets, reaching more people about more things in less time and with less effort. Here I am writing opera when people are listening to singles."
It looks like there's no going back now. Not when, for instance, one of humanity's oldest stories is being pulverized into tweets. Consider the (three, so far) tweets of Pope Francis via @Pontifex. After thanking the faithful in Tweet one, he moved on to his second thought: "Let us keep a place for Christ in our lives, let us care for one another and let us be loving custodians of creation."
Remember when they came out with those vernacular "Good News" Bibles and the dumbing-down seemed like an affront? Those volumes will soon seem way too challenging now that you can take the Bible in bite-sized form.

Q: combining Hover with an If statement in jQuery I'm using the Cycle plugin for a slideshow. It's got a built-in "Pause on mouse over" feature, however I want to make the navigation elements change on mouse over as well.
This is easily enough accomplished, but I'd like to maintain the pause/play state. That is, if the user has clicked the pause button I want to do nothing when they mouse over. However if they haven't paused it, I'd like to do something on hover and unhover.
Here's the code for when the click the pause/play button:
$('#pauseButton').click(function() {
    $('#news').cycle('pause');
    $('#pauseButton').hide();
    $('#playButton').show();
});
$('#playButton').click(function() {
    $('#news').cycle('resume');
    $('#pauseButton').show();
    $('#playButton').hide();
});

My first attempt to accomplish this is such:
$('#news div').hover(function() {
    $('#pauseButton').show();
    $('#playButton').hide();
    $('#paused').css({background:"#ff9000"});
}, function(){
    $('#pauseButton').hide();
    $('#playButton').show();
});

The problem is that regardless of whether the user had paused the slide show, mousing-over and then off would unpause the slideshow.
It seems like it should be easy to put an "if" statement in there somewhere but I can't figure out where it would go exactly.

A: If you disable the plugin's "pause-on-mouseover" option then you can do it yourself:
//setup a flag to detect if the show should play or not
var pause_show = false;

//pause on mouseover
$('#slideshow-id').on('mouseover', function () {

    $('#news').cycle('pause');
    $('#pauseButton').hide();
    $('#playButton').show();

//play on mouseleave only if flag is not set to `false` (meaning the pause button has not been clicked)
}).on('mouseleave', function () {

    //if the show has not been paused with the pause button then resume the show
    if (pause_show === false) {
        $('#news').cycle('resume');
        $('#pauseButton').show();
        $('#playButton').hide();
    }
});

//set flag to true (block play on mouseleave) when the user clicks on the
$('#pauseButton').on('click', function () {
    pause_show = true;
});
$('#playButton').on('click', function () {
    pause_show = false;
});

Note that .on() is new in jQuery 1.7 and is the same as .bind() in this case.

So I made contact with the ladies from Oregon when a call was made to me for Quilts of Valor (QOV). QOV are always needed for the troops coming back & Injured service people.
It's a great organization that many quilters contribute in order to honor our service men & women. I feel this is a worthy cause…so I try to help when I can.
So I offered to quilt them and provide backing.
I know that when our local group attended an event to honor our local service people the men were truly touched & honored. Many tears were shed and lots of love shared. The women who were honored to attend and present the quilts teared up just telling us about these wonderful service men ( in our case there weren't any woman in attendance). So I would just like to say that they are not made or donated in vain..they are well appreciated. My son Carl made 10 quilts a few years ago while he was learning to sew & quilt. My friend Donna helped him and taught him as his coach.
So Faith and her Girls rounded up and made 4 quilts for me. They sent these to me a bit ago and I have just not gotten around to quilting them. I am a bit behind..but since I was up last night with a group of 11 teenage boys …I had time. So Tisha will be presenting these to a local group in her area coming back soon…very soon. I am going to see if she can get pictures for us. I am forwarding these on to her for binding..I have the labels complete. So I just want to give a hearty thanks to the Oregon ladies and their wonderful donation! I also want to say Thanks to Pat you also donated one….so a total of 5 were sent from my ladies! Thanks to all of you!
I quilted all of them differently…but they all got all-over type designs. I used a heavy weight Kona Muslin on the back of them. Thank you all so much for looking & sharing your talents! It's a blessing to all involved.
You are so very welcome! It was our Pleasure and Honor!

On November 1, 2015, Snowdrift Art Space presented Winslow's Día de los Muertos Celebration. Families celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) throughout Latin America and the Southwestern United States to remember their departed ancestors and loved ones. They pray, sing, dance, and place ofrendas (offerings) at graves and altars for the departed, who are thought to briefly visit the earth at this time each year to make sure that all is well and they have not been forgotten. Ofrendas on altars may include flowers, candles, incense, sugar skulls, and statues of saints as well as pictures, personal items, and favorite dishes of the departed.
Over 300 people attended this free annual event, and we thank all our returning partners for its success: to the members of the public who set up individuals altars or added their own ofrendas for departed family and friends to Snowdrift's Community Altar; to Flagstaff Nuestras Raices for their Sugar Skull Workshop; to the Winslow Ballet Folklorico for their great performance; to Sandi Martinez and family for selling Día de los Muertos crafts; to Christa Knox and her Winslow Middle School students for displaying their paper mache "sugar" skulls at the event; and to the Winslow Arts Trust and the Winslow Chamber of Commerce for their continued financial support.


Following "Good grief", English indie pop group Bastille shared the video for their second single "Fake it".
The track, written and produced by frontman Dan Smith along Mark Crew, received its first play during Zane Lowe's World Record at Beats 1 on July 27th.
The music video, directed by Tom Middleton and Jack Scott aka Crooked Cynics (Jamie Scott, Grizfolk) features a smarmy, uncomfortable, molded politician giving a speech, at times mouthing the lyrics, and at others, showing the two-sided nature of every person. As the camera shows the man calm and poised, reality shows the man enraged and irrational.
Bastille's new album "Wild world" will be release in all formats on 9 September 2016.

BERLIN - German envoys are due to hold talks with US officials in Washington Wednesday on rebuilding a "basis of trust" after alleged US tapping of Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone in sweeping surveillance operations that have outraged Europe.
As spy claims ricocheted across the Atlantic in a row that has frazzled ties between US and European allies, two high-ranking Berlin officials will seek answers and fresh rules on intelligence cooperation, Merkel's spokesman said.
Steffen Seibert told reporters the talks were aimed at clarifying the allegations and working out "a new basis of trust and new regulation for our cooperation in this area." "We are in a process of intensive contacts with US partners both at the intelligence as well as the political level," he said.
France, Italy and Spain have also protested after media reports, based on leaks from fugitive US analyst Edward Snowden, that Washington collected tens of millions of European telephone calls and online communications as part of anti-terror operations.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said the snooping, if confirmed, was "inappropriate and unacceptable between partners and friends" after a report alleged that more than 60 million telephone calls in Spain were spied on by the US National Security Agency (NSA) in a month.
But on Tuesday, US espionage chiefs turned the tables on European allies in the spat over intercepted phone records, saying in many cases it was European agencies — not the NSA — that gathered and shared them with America.
And they dismissed as "completely false" allegations that American spy agencies had swept up vast amounts of communications data.
France responded coolly, describing as "unlikely" the allegations that European spy agencies shared phone call records with US intelligence.
National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement that Obama and Merkel had recently agreed in a phone call "to intensify further the cooperation between US and German intelligence services".
Merkel confronted Obama by phone last Wednesday over the alleged surveillance, which, according to German media, may have begun as early as 2002.
Merkel's foreign policy adviser Christoph Heusgen and the secret service coordinator Guenter Heiss will take part in Wednesday's talks at the White House.
National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and counter-terrorism advisor Lisa Monaco would meet the Germans, Hayden said.
"This process of clearing up the facts will last some time still," Seibert said, adding the heads of German foreign and domestic intelligence services would also travel to Washington in the coming days.
European lawmakers were already in the US capital this week to complain over America's espionage activity against its allies.
In the latest of what have become near daily reports, Italian weekly magazine Panorama claimed US secret services allegedly eavesdropped on cardinals before the conclave in March to elect a new pope.
Clapper and General Keith Alexander, head of the NSA, testified to Congress that the rampant European media coverage was based on a misreading of information provided by Snowden.
"This was not the United States collecting on France and Germany. This was France and Germany collecting. And it had nothing to do with their citizens, it had to do with collecting in NATO areas of war, like Afghanistan," she said.
Alexander and Clapper told the hearing that foreign nations were also spying on US leaders.
"Do you believe that the allies have conducted or at any time, any type of espionage activity against the United States of America, our intelligence services, our leaders or otherwise?" said Mike Rogers, chairman of the House committee.
"Absolutely," said Clapper, adding that spying on foreign leaders was at the heart of the international espionage game.
Asked to respond, Seibert referred to comments by the head of German foreign intelligence who told Bild newspaper last week his agency was not targeting the US government.
"Possible random collections through our technical systems are purged," Gerhard Schindler was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, the European Commission said it was checking gifts and gadgets which host Russia gave to delegations at last month's G20 summit to see if they pose a security risk.
A Kremlin spokesman dismissed the report as a red herring "to divert attention from the real problems between Washington and Europe".
And Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters in Athens he was bored by the US espionage row anyway. "As a whole, I am sure that everyone knew everything or at the very least guessed this," he said.

Buenavista es un municipio colombiano ubicado en la Subregión del San Jorge en el departamento de Córdoba. El surgimiento de Buenavista-Córdoba fue el resultado de un proceso migratorio derivado de la ejecución de un proyecto de desarrollo social a inicios del año 1950 al ponerse en marcha el proyecto carreteable Tarazá (Antioquia)-Planeta Rica (Córdoba), y no del acto volitivo y de fundación del señor José Francisco Rojas.Fue erigido a corregimiento en el año 1954 y se conformó como municipio en 1969, al separarse del Municipio de Ayapel.

Hidrografía
Parte del curso del Río San Jorge pasa por Buenavista. Bañada por un brazo conocido como el caño El Bagre. Sus fuentes hídricas más importantes son las ciénagas de Las Marías, del Arcial y de Los Zambos, y arroyos o caños como Carate y Los Zambos, entre otros, siendo estos las principales fuentes de pesca en el municipio.

Economía
Las principales actividades económicas de este municipio pertenecen al sector agropecuario, siendo la principal la ganadería. Las antiguas actividades de caza de guartinaja, ñeque, ponche y conejo se han extinguido casi en su totalidad, persistiendo la pesca. Predomina la economía informal en oficios de recolección de cítricos (limón), mangos, tamarindo y el jornaleo como actividad básica tanto en el sector urbano como rural. Predomina la gran hacienda en la cual se vincula la mano de obra preferentemente por jornaleo.

Transporte
El municipio cuenta desde el año 1950 con la troncal de occidente.  En esa fecha se construyó el tramo carreteable Tarazá, Antioquia con Planeta Rica, Córdoba. La Troncal de Occidente intercomunica los departamentos de la región Caribe con los del interior del país. Las empresas de servicios públicos de transporte masivo hoy existentes son Brasilia, Coonorte, Sotracor, Unitransco, Torcoroma, Tucura, Rápido Ochoa y taxis que cubren la rutas Caucasia-Montería; Montelíbano-Montería; La Apartada-Planeta Rica; Buenavista, Ayapel-La Apartada; Buenavista-Planeta Rica; Buenavista-Montería. Si la intención es visitar la zona rural puede desviarse por vías terciarias y trochas utilizando el servicio de los moto taxis que posee este bello municipio. Dentro del sector urbano el transporte es la Mototaxi. El transporte aéreo se realiza desde la ciudad de Montería (capital del Departamento) hacia todos los destinos del orden nacional.

Turismo y recreación
En Buenavista se encuentra el Zooparque Los Caimanes. También podemos encontrar establecimientos de diversión nocturna, como Kiko Licores ,El Ranchon, Bule-Bar y sitios de ambiente familiar como la panadería y heladería Los Ángeles, ubicada frente al parque principal.

Festividades

Fiestas Internacionales del Mapalé y Música Folclórica: ultima semana de octubre
Festival del Vallenato: marzo

Creative critique from a gender lens: 7-11 March
Dr AL Sharada, director, Population First, reviews a selection of ads from last week
Mar 17, 2022 03:23:00 AM | Article | Dr AL Sharada
What worked
Gender is a social construct that determines the desired, appropriate qualities, attributes and behaviours for men and women. It defines their roles assigning productive roles to men and reproductive roles to women. They also have differential access to resources and entitlements.
The gender stereotypes based on these social constructs need to be challenged as they are discriminatory and lead to undervaluing of the women. The ad captures the stereotypes very well, be it the emphasis on looks, dressing or modesty for girls, or not giving credit to a woman for building up a start-up company. The ad resonates with many women and is sure to make men also conscious of the harmful stereotypes.
The ad shows the girls and women as confident and self-assured rather than meek victims of discrimination.
Gender Sensitivity Score (GSS): 5/5
Lemme Be
The ad is path-breaking for the following reasons:
It shows menstrual blood as red, not blue ink.
It shows women who are as diverse as they come
It talks about the cramps, the staining, the bleeding and the mood swings as natural, thus normalising it and highlighting the choice of the women to deal with it the way they wish.
Time we talk about menstruation without embarrassment.
GSS: 5/5
Project Nanhi Kali
Nanhi Kali has been highlighting many issues related to girl child education through its communication over the years.
The ad very powerfully depicts the burden of household chores and caring functions on the girl child in some Indian families by narrating the story through the voice of a buffalo who is made to work throughout the day with no respite. The comparison of the two Lajjos brings out how girls in India are overburdened with work and denied the basic right to education. The super emphasises that education is not just a human right but for some it is also a means to feel human, highlighting the importance of education in a child's life.
What did not work
The ad continues to rely heavily on the objectification and sexualisation of the celebrity model.

La Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza de Granada (1769-1876) es un antiguo inmueble, de carácter histórico-cultural, de la ciudad de Granada; que estuvo situado en la actual Avenida de la Constitución, y que fue construido y promocionada por la institución aristocrática granadina del mismo nombre.

Los restos arqueológicos de esta plaza fueron descubiertos en el año 2010, durante la remodelación urbana del lugar, y que , desde entonces, se está a la espera de hacerlos accesibles para el público como parte de la oferta cultural de la ciudad.

Historia
En 1763, la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Granada proponía la idea de iniciar la construcción de la primera plaza de toros fija de la ciudad. Para ello obtuvieron permiso del Ayuntamiento para iniciar las obras en un lugar extramuros de la ciudad, próximo al Barrio de San Lázaro; lugar en el que, finalmente, entre 1768 y 1769, terminaría por construirse este coso taurino. Nicolás de la Cruz Bahamonde, en su viaje a Granada, describió la plaza "hecha con dos órdenes de balcones á más del tendido", situándola junto a la Plaza del Triunfo.

Esta plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza costó más de 200.000 reales, tuvo un ruedo circular y se realizó en madera, aunque, tanto los cimientos como la portada se realizaron en piedra. Como señala Valladar, en la entrada a la plaza existía una inscripción que decía: "Reinando Carlos III hizo este anfiteatro la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Granada en los años de 1768 y 1769 para sus ejercicios militares y diversiones públicas. Siendo su hermano mayor el infante Don Gabriel".

Según las investigaciones publicadas, la Real Maestranza empezó celebrando "dos corridas de vara larga" cada dos años pero, finalmente, aumentó el número de espectáculos. De esta manera, se realizaban ocho corridas de toros cada año y, en verano de 1788, sustituyó estos festejos por la celebración de treinta novilladas.

Además de esta institución nobiliaria, la plaza era cedida temporalmente a hermandades e instituciones para que pudieran celebrar también diferentes festejos benéficos con los que recaudar fondos. Así, por ejemplo, la Hermandad de la Virgen de las Angustias organizaba anualmente corridas de toros para sufragar los gastos del hospital y de la iglesia; como la que celebró el 6 de octubre de 1786, donde se celebró "la [corrida de toros] de los Pobres y Enfermos" y para la que la cofradía "compró caballos, ajustó toros, lidiadores y picadores".

Los festejos taurinos celebrados en la Real Maestranza de Granada contaban con una doble presidencia: una honorífica y otra efectiva. La presidencia de honor la ostentaba el cuadro del monarca que, se situaba bajo dosel, y la efectiva la ejercía el teniente de hermano mayor o algún corregidor. Asimismo, por costumbre, los toreros se vestían con el uniforme de esta corporación nobiliaria: "para que con librea de la hermandad, sirva la plaza y mate los toros". Así, de esta manera, "los diestros, picadores de vara larga y matadores a pie, debían llevar casaca azul con galones de plata con los colores y divisa de la corporación, que irían también en el guarnés de los caballos". Sin embargo no fueron toros lo único que se celebraron en este recinto ya que, en 1857, hay constancia de funciones circenses, en los que participó Madame Labarrere, "célebre domadora de fieras".

El 10 de septiembre de 1876 tenía lugar un incendio en esta plaza de toros, arruinándola por completo. El accidente tuvo lugar durante la celebración del festejo en el que estuvieron presentes los diestros Antonio Fuentes "Hito", hermano de Manuel Fuentes, Bocanegra; José Sánchez Laborda, Hipólito Sánchez Arjona, sobrino de Curro Cúchares; Manuel Aguilar "El Macareno", Francisco Carvajal "Pollo" y Rafael Luque "El Camará"; lidiándose toros de Vicente Romero y García, de Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz).

When I ask my patients who have complaints of neck and shoulder pain if they walk their dog with the hand on the same side as their neck pain they often say, "Yes, but I would not think that is relevant." Trust me, it is! Once, you bring the dog closer to you, which I know may be a training issue and can take some time, you will be surprised as to the difference it can make in your symptoms. In the short term, switch sides or alternate, you and your dog will be thankful you did!


Are you someone who loves birds and has always dreamed of having them in your backyard? Then maybe you should consider making your own birdhouse for your yard as a fun Sunday activity. It does not take a lot of effort, time, and it won't break the bank, either. You can have a great time with your children and make it a family activity.
Here is a list of ideas that you can use regarding materials and design for building our own birdhouse.
For this project, you will only need to use plywood, popsicle sticks, sticks that you use to stir coffee or hot chocolate, spline, beam, tar paper, mesh net, an OSB disk, lighting, scissors, wood glue, circular saw, drill, multi tool, dremel, sand paper, and nail clippers (or another material that you can use to cut the popsicle sticks up with). It is also recommended that you draw a sketch of the house you plan to build so that way you can get a better idea of what you are doing and so that you can save some time in the end.
If you are someone that likes old, country style, you can have a miniature one in your own yard. The nice outdoorsy feel of a log cabin has a special vibe that makes one almost feel peaceful and at home. You have to find several patterns, print them out, and cut them up. Then, trace them onto the wood and cut the shapes out. Glue these pieces together. Gather logs, cut them up, split them, and glue those together too. Now what's left is that you add details to the house you've built, such as drilling a small hole in the entryway.
This is such a cute design to spruce up any birdhouse. You should get a voltage regulator so that the solar lights will work effectively, and to make sure that the lights only turn on at nighttime. They don't need to be on during the day. And, the addition of these lights will attract bugs for the birds to eat. You can use any inexpensive solar lights for this project.
The design for this project is based off of Habitat 67. Your materials will include a computer with AutoCAD, a laser cutting service, plywood, plexiglas, stain, polyurethane, wood glue, and a plexiglas adhesive. You will need to cut your plywood out with the laser cutter, sand the wood and stain it, and then use sandpaper for the edges. Once everything is all assembled, you are finished.
This one will take a lot of time- it took the person who came up with these instructions about a week after working on it for 2.5 hours daily- but it is worth all the work for this unique idea. They used patterned fabric, felt, thread, scrap batting, scissors, sewing needles (or a sewing machine), an embroidery book for those who do not know how to do the stitches, patterns, and bells. This is a great idea for a gift as well.
While this project is easy, it is not the most eye-catching. However, recycling is one of the best things you can do for the environment and this is a great way to ensure that you won't have too many milk jugs laying around. You can use a milk jug, duct tape, scissors, sharpie, and a pencil (or long bolt). Cut out the bottom of the jug and tape all the pieces together.
Here is another idea for a log house which will only require using branches and hand tools to complete. You'll use a hammer, a hand saw, a tenon saw, a hatchet, a utility knife, blades, sticks, pallet wood, panel pins, polythene, chicken wire, staples, and glue. You will need to take the utility knife to remove all the bark from the sticks that you find.
This is an idea that serves multiple purposes. You can either get cedar or you can use some leftovers that you might have from other projects. This entails creating two separate birdhouses- one on each end- and putting a planter in between for some cute plants. You'll only need to use different lengths of cedar, finish nails, gorilla glue, and drill bits in order to complete this.
And here is a perfect way to disguise your home's security system by building something that looks like a birdhouse as a cover for cameras. Aside from the cameras, you'll need garden posts and poplar board. Cut everything to suit the measurements you have done, adjust the cameras into your structure, position the posts, and paint your finished product however you would like.
Here is something that will take a lot of work and effort, including over 1,000 zip ties. But it is a unique project and something that is guaranteed to last, due to the fact that zip ties are known to be durable and flexible. You'll need to get a lot of zip ties, create a CAD design and laser cut it, and attach the zip ties to all sides of your final product. You don't need to use glue for this, either, and use zip ties to hang the house up.
Love Pringles? Now you can repurpose your empty cans! You won't need to use a lot of materials for this, nor will it cost you a lot of time. Aside from the empty Pringles can, you'll only need a kitchen knife, transparent tape, a needle, yarn, and cardboard. Draw the design you want to have on the Pringles can and cut it out. You can even make two separate houses using one can. Make sure that you have washed it as well before use.
If you have an old birdhouse that you want to restyle, or one that has gotten damaged over time, then there are many ways for you to update it. You will need to disassemble the old one and repair or replace any pieces that have been damaged. Sand every piece in order to update the appearance of the wood, and put all the pieces back together. Decorate the house as you'd like and put it back in your backyard!
All you will need for this project is an empty food carton, some wrapping paper, spray glue, scissors, a ruler, hot glue sticks, and decorations. There are lots of different ways you can design the product so that it can look cute and exactly how you would like it.
For this one, the person used a 3D printer to attach the word "bird" to the front of the house. The remaining instructions are similar to other ideas that we have mentioned before. After you have attached the letters, you can paint and design the house in any way you'd like.
Let's begin by defining what these simple bird homes are all about. A birdhouse refers to a small "house" that is made for birds. It is put up in a tree or somewhere higher up that is going to attract birds. Whether it's for Wrens, Bluebirds, Finches, Chickadees, window designs, simple setups or even more elaborate ones- there are lots of options.
Property owners use this for a number of reasons including being able to direct birds towards one place instead of having them lounge on the rooftop or fence.
What if it's time to build your own at home?
This is a project many property owners take up as it can be quite fun and welcomes a tremendous amount of creativity. As long as you are willing to put in the time, this is going to be a thoroughly entertaining project with so many options to choose from. Before moving forward, it's important to set a budget and remain aware of how much it's going to cost.
For a traditional solution that is made of natural wood, it can end up costing $50+ to put together. In other cases, a person may want to go with a manufactured option and those can range in quality anywhere from $10-$1,000.
There are so many directions a person can go in when it comes to this project.
In some cases, a person may want to go with a regular shaped house that has a hole made for birds to fly in and out. This is a great option and still allows for creativity with regards to colors, patterns, and other similar details.
Another idea is to go with a clear-body design, where everything is visible from the outside. This is ideal for those who want to enjoy nature at its finest and like the idea of being able to see how the solution is used by the birds.
Maintenance is all about keeping an eye out and making sure it is holding up well from a physical perspective. In general, as long as the materials are appropriately put together, this solution isn't going to fall apart. In fact, it will be able to hold up well once it has been put into place and is being used on a regular basis. However, it's still important to inspect it from time to time.
To properly maintain its body, you shouldn't be afraid to give it a new coat of paint. Make sure this is done on a warmer day, so the paint is able to dry as soon as you want it to.
It's important to understand what needs to be done when it comes to keeping everything in good shape. One of the best tips a person can apply is to focus on the location and where it's being set up. Too many times, the location is what leads to damage and ruins everything. Instead of letting this happen, you should look to have it in the appropriate nesting area for birds to happily lounge and enjoy themselves.
Another tip is to make sure the fit is in line with the birds that will be flying in your yard. There are times where a great solution is put together only for it to not fit as well as it should.
The final tip is to recognize how important it is to design it for outdoor conditions. Each part of the world has its own environmental nuances whether it's dust in the Middle East or rain in England. These little details should be incorporated into the design phase, so the materials withstand whatever is thrown at them once everything is set up. Otherwise, it will break down and is going to be a wasted investment.

B.C. politicians must focus more on phasing out fossil fuels, report says
The report said the province's continued interest in expanding production and export of fossil fuels suggests there's little political will to think about a plan to move away from those industries.
Province ill prepared to transition to a green economy, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says

Politicians in British Columbia aren't focused enough on phasing out fossil fuel industries, a new report says.
The report, authored by the left-leaning Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, says the province must move away from fossil fuel industries by mid-century in order to meet its climate targets, but adds that the B.C. government is ill prepared to transition to a green economy.
"We are totally moving in the wrong direction," said economist Marc Lee, one of the authors of the report, on The Early Edition Wednesday.
He said most of the emphasis of B.C. government policy has been on slowing reductions in emissions from transportation or emissions from buildings, while still subsidizing fossil fuel extraction, such as fracking projects, that Lee said should be phased out.
"What we are putting on the table is politically unthinkable right now," said Lee, adding that last month's provincial budget called for a 26 per cent increased gas production over the next three years.
B.C.'s $830M in fossil fuel subsidies undermines efforts to fight climate crisis, report says
He said B.C. needs to start thinking instead about how its going to wind down its dependence on fossil fuel industries.
'Greener' job transition needed
The report said the provincial government's continued interest in expanding production and exporting fossil fuels suggests little political will to think about a plan to move away from them.
It suggests the threat of major job losses in those industries is contributing to the political inaction, but cited several examples of ways governments can help move workers into greener jobs.
Lee said early retirement provisions or income replacement for transitioning workers are options to consider.
"We actually have seen a lot of real-world policy around transition starting to happen, including in Alberta, which brought in a whole transition package for coal workers producing coal for electricity generation," Lee said.
Give cities the power to move more quickly on the environment, say Metro Van politicians
Make it easier for small businesses to go green, B.C. Chamber of Commerce urges government
Lee also said well-paying jobs could be created by, for example, remediating old coal mines and gas wells and building green infrastructure and renewable energy projects in affected areas.
The report also calls for a moratorium on new fossil fuel leases and ending fossil fuel subsidies, as well as creating carbon budgets and fossil fuel production limits.
"Change is coming," said Lee. "We need to get out ahead of it."

Roisin Murphy 'Narcissus' by Roisin Murphy
David Knight - 13th Dec 2019
Roisin Murphy has created a proper disco banger in Narcissus, and she has also directed the video for the track which channels the fabulously kitsch glamour of the original Age of Disco.
Roisin's love of the Italian 'Queen of TV' Raffaella Carrà, led her to make a fairly faithful recreation of a '70s disco-era performance from her TV show - which has benefitted from added layers of 70s-style video FX.
Roisin always keeps within the parameters of a TV-like live performance in real time. But due to a combination of her distinctive charisma, and a brilliant edit by Ben Unwin, this becomes something more than its inspiration. It's an altogether more transcendent experience.
It's out there, it's very Roisin, and it's amazing. And, let's face it, right now we need a brilliant song and a video like this.
ROISIN MURPHY:
"Maybe I'm old fashioned but I don't really relate to most of the current pop-mainstream female archetypes. The great Italian singers of the 60's/70's/80's like Mina, Patty Pravo and, specifically here, Raffaella Carrà have provided me with huge inspiration over the past few years. It's seems to me, they are all about hard-won expressions of beauty and truth. Those unbelievably epic TV productions of their performances from the period fascinate me and I am not without hesitation and fear in trying to replicate the feeling of any of it.
"However, I did try, earnestly, to pay homage to Raffaella Carrà's incredibly energetic performance of Black Cat on Italian TV in 1978. The hair, the cloak, the disco lights, it all should have been so easy! But oh, the most seemingly simple ideas often turn out to be the most difficult to achieve. It took a lot of energy to keep up that level of physical performance take after take, I could hardly move for days after! The edit went on and on, we got to cut 51 and had to stop. I was beginning to see disco lights everywhere. This thing was like a wild animal and we barely wrangled into the pen.
"I hope that it has some of the energy, truth and excitement that so intrigues me about its inspiration. The most important thing was to keep a flow throughout my performance so it feels real, I wanted you to see me really give it some welly!!"

Aythya valisineria
Canvasbacks are relatively large ducks that live in North America. They migrate north in the spring and migrate south for the winter. Females are generally brown, but males are cream colored, with bronze heads and necks. Male canvasbacks also have bright red-colored eyes. Read on to learn about the canvasback.
Description of the Canvasback
Males of this species have white or cream-colored bodies, with black tails and chests. Their necks and heads are bronze-colored, and their eyes are bright red.
Like many species of waterfowl, the females of the species are dull-colored. Females are pale brown with dark brown patches. Most adults weigh between two and three pounds, and measure just under two feet long.
Interesting Facts About the Canvasback
There are many different species of waterfowl across North America, and each is unique in its own way. Learn what makes canvasbacks unique below.
Celery Duck – These ducks are partially named for their favorite food. During the winter, canvasbacks feed extensively on wild celery (Vallisneria americana). The canvasback's scientific name (Aythya valisineria) is partially based in the scientific name of the wild celery it eats.
Key Nesting Grounds – Historically, habitat destruction has caused canvasback populations to fluctuate. Researchers have discovered that the most important habitats to conserve are the breeding grounds of these birds. By targeting their breeding grounds, scientists have been able to help protect canvasbacks and increase their populations.
Musical Chairs – Nesting ducks tend to play a game of musical chairs with their nests. Females enter the nests of other canvasbacks while they are gone, and lay an egg or two in their clutch. The other female ends up raising chicks that are not her own, and the egg layer gets a boosted chance of having more of her offspring survive.
Habitat of the Canvasback
Like most ducks, canvasbacks like living in lakes, ponds, and other slow-moving water bodies. They also inhabit marshes and estuaries.
Especially during the breeding season, they choose water bodies with lots of vegetation along the banks. This gives the ducks a safe place to build their nests and incubate their eggs. They prefer lakes and ponds with tall grasses and cattails along the edges.
Distribution of the Canvasback
These birds inhabit much of North America, from Canada to central Mexico. While they do inhabit a large expanse of North America, they only live in certain regions at certain times of year.
They breed in Alaska and northwest Canada. These breeding grounds merge with migration routes in the northern United States. The rest of the United States and Mexico serve as areas to spend the winter.
Diet of the Canvasback
Though they are omnivores, this duck's diet primarily consists of plant matter. Their favorite foods are wild celery and pondweed tubers and roots. They also eat a variety of seeds, leaves, stems, roots, and tubers of a variety of plants. Canvasbacks also hunt for invertebrates, usually snails, mussels, insects, and insect larvae.
Canvasback and Human Interaction
Like most waterfowl in North America, the Migratory Bird Act provides protection and regulation for the hunting and disturbance of this species.
In the past, deforestation and habitat destruction have impacted their breeding grounds, causing population decline. Nowadays, regulations have allowed their populations to increase, and the IUCN lists them as Least Concern.
Humans have not domesticated this duck species in any way.
Does the Canvasback Make a Good Pet
While canvasbacks might look a little like domestic ducks, they are wild animals. This means that they are not docile and easy to handle like domesticated ducks are. It is also illegal to own a canvasback as a pet in most places without special permits.
Canvasback Care
In a zoological setting, these ducks require similar care to other waterfowl species. The most important aspect of their habitat is the water source, which should be large and deep enough for them to swim and forage.
Their habitat should also replicate their wild preferences as well, and there should be a variety of reeds and grasses planted along the shores. Zookeepers feed them a variety of vegetation, a pelleted duck feed, and a variety of insects.
Behavior of the Canvasback
Outside of the breeding season, most canvasbacks remain in the water while hunting and resting. They even sleep on the water.
During the winter, these ducks are quite gregarious and congregate in huge numbers. Once they migrate and begin breeding, they break off into pairs and become quite protective of their nests and fishing grounds.
Reproduction of the Canvasback
Female canvasbacks nest on the ground in the dense plants along the water's edge. Their nests are quite large, and usually consist of cattails, grass, reeds, and other vegetation. They line the inside of their nests with their feathers.
Clutches usually contain between 5 and 11 eggs, and the female incubates the eggs for a little under a month. Once the eggs hatch, the female leads the ducklings to the water and shows them how to find food. They stay with her until it is time to migrate south for the winter.

Okay, I sent the message a few weeks ago and still have not gotten a reply. Why is this?
I sent it again. thanks.
Got it. Account made. Sorry about that.
Okay, Thanks. When I start the program, it asks for an Affiliate ID. What is that and how do I get it?
Your Affiliate ID is your username.
Okay, so now when I launch the program, it says: Runtime Error Message. How can i fix it?
Did you actually read and follow the instructions?
Your account has been created. Please visit the following pages and follow the setup instructions exactly as they are written and in order.
I have sent a request to get the login info but no one has responded.
ok, when will you be?
Standby.. I need to rebuild the current executable because there have been some changes to the resources that the emulator works with out in internet land. Once I get the build out (in the near future) I will begin to accept new users and supporting any issues at that point. Also, I may automate the process of adding users instead of the manual process that is currently done.

There were two major healthcare stories last week. One involved the announcement that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius would be leaving and the nomination by President Obama of Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell to replace her. But also last week CMS made an unprecedented release of Medicare payments data. For the first time since 1979, the public had access to information regarding which physicians received what kind of sums under Medicare. Media stories were extensive and primarily focused on the amounts of money that went to providers.
For some time now, preparation has been underway for full implementation of The Sunshine Act, incorporated into the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Under that law, there will be a similar release of information, only this will focus on payments made from the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical devices industries to physicians and teaching hospitals. CMS has been in the process of implementation of the Sunshine Act for some time now and the culmination will be in the first scheduled publication set for the end of September, 2014.
There were many angles to the CMS story to explore in the stories. But perhaps one of the most important aspects of CMS Medicare announcement for the medical products industry is the fact that it served as a media "dress rehearsal" for the publication of data under the Sunshine Act provisions later this year.
Coverage of the CMS news was broad – spanning many national outlets. It was both a national story with headlines focused on the top grossing physicians as well as those specialties that saw the highest payments, and a regional one – where local physicians were assessed as seen in this piece from Arkansas Business.
The primary focus was squarely on the amounts of money received by physicians. While many reports carried caution that the whole story did not end there – that there were reasons behind the numbers – the fact that large amounts went to a small group of physicians stood out. Beyond the individual physicians, there were reports profiling particular physician specialities – oncologists for example. Some of the messaging around the "behind the numbers" issue worked, some of it did not. That is something to look at.
There is every reason for one to expect the same type of coverage for the release of information under the Sunshine Act coming in the autumn of 2014. Again, a good deal of the focus will likely be on the numbers, and there will be some additional messaging about the story beyond the numbers, but the stakeholders may be broader.
First, of course, will be individual physicians who will see a focus on amounts they received. Second will be the medical societies of particular physician practices where there may have been more interaction with industry than others. And third will be industry with a focus on everything from comparative amounts expended to exploration of the relationships between the funding and product marketing.
In the field of issues management, it is rare that one gets the opportunity to look at a blueprint and to have the luxury of time to develop messaging ahead of an event. This is one of those rare times.
On their websites, many medical societies have given members overviews and tools to learn about how the Sunshine Act works. But it may also benefit the membership to have a framework for how to talk about their participation in various industry programs once it is released. There is a story beyond numbers. Members may also face regional stories if they stand out in a particular region or state. A webinar on the topic may for members might benefit many.
Begin with both messaging and strategy regarding the release of numbers, decide what worked, what didn't. What is the story beyond the numbers?
What does it mean to sit on an advisory board? What are the benefits to patients from the relationships that are developed with physicians?
And, given the benefit of time for planning, in addition to preparing for responding to inquiries, stakeholders need to assess to what extent some proactive efforts might be a good idea.
There is a good deal of time between now and the time the Sunshine data is released. Developing and assessing messaging now – considering strategy and possible tactical execution – is probably time and effort well spent. In the end, preparation will not do away with the negative connotation associated with money, but it can help to paint more of the background picture so that there is greater context associated with the coverage of the release of data.

Gators May Sink in Wake of Maritime Museum
As the 61-year-old USS Razorback travels to its future home on the north shore of the Arkansas River, a North Little Rock business owner wonders what will become of the restaurant he has owned for nearly four years on the riverfront.
Gator's owner Patrick Kelly (photo by Sitton)
Gators Bar-ge and Grill owner Patrick Kelly, 45, first purchased the business on Sept. 1, 2000, after previously working as an upholster for Falcon Jet. With help from his wife Kimmra, Kelly invested $209,000 worth of stocks and IRAs to clean up the barge.
"When I first came in, I knew it was going to be a gamble," Kelly said. "This place has been through an endless number of owners who never made it because they never worked it. (The boat) was run-down, with every room painted in different colors. It was a piece of junk. We painted the boat on the inside, and the owner painted it on the outside. We want to show the city and the people that we want to be an attraction, an asset, rather than a liability. We've changed the appearance 100 percent to say we're trying."
However, Kelly did not foresee working on a month-to-month lease. While Gators once had a long-term lease, Kelly said North Little Rock Mayor Pat Hays said it expired once barge-owner Hank Birch sold the expedition paddle boat, The Spirit.
"I'm beating a dead horse," Kelly said. "(Mayor Hays) says this chunk of land is too valuable to lock up with long-term rent. I did some research from Missouri to Louisiana – really any federally-regulated waters – the cities that brought in an establishment like mine look at it as an asset. They don't even pay any darn rent." Continue reading →
