For the last six years he has been settled in Nairn where he enjoys the beach, walking, gardening, writing, reading voluminous amounts of books - and writing crime novels. He is also a poet with two collections published but has always wanted to get novels 'out there' and is pleased to have managed this now. He has a passion for the writing of Graham Greene, Agatha Christie, and PD James amongst many others.
With the murder weapon found near the body, the detectives hope that fingerprints will help them discover the killer. But it is clear that they are dealing with a cunning perpetrator who has covered all their tracks. With various leads running into dead ends, the answers will come from understanding the victim's character and the killer's motive.


One of the biggest Television events of the 1970's- 1990 were the 24 hour Telethons.
The format of a telethon usually consists of performances by singers, musicians, comedians, or other entertainers interspersed with pitches for donations. Typically the program is staged on a set containing volunteer telephone operators, a stage, a tote board that displays the amount of money raised, a band, and a studio audience.
Telethon was run in New Zealand during the 1970's and 1980's up to 1990 by TVNZ. The fundraiser would take place in regions around New Zealand with coverage being shown on TV1, viewers would be shown coverage of the Telethon nearest their location, however smaller regions would typically see coverage of the Telethon in one of the main centers (Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch or Dunedin). Since Telethon ceased on New Zealand Television some regional stations have operated their own local Telethon.
During the 1988 Telethon Christopher Quinten and Leeza Gibbons fell in love and eventully married .

Ocean temperatures hit record highs in 2022, here's what it can cause
Leave a Comment / world / By thaipriusclub
"A new year of record heat for the oceans". The title of the study published on January 11, 2023 in the journal Advances in atmospheric sciences could not be clearer: the waters of the globe never stop beating temperature records.
In 2022, the amount of heat contained in our oceans and seas increased by 10 zettajoules (i.e. the equivalent of 100 times the world's electricity production), and thus beat the previous record set… in 2021. Records had also been beaten in 2020 and 2019.
A contribution to sea level rise
This structural warming has a first consequence, palpable even on our coasts: it contributes to raising the level of the seas and oceans.
Because if the melting of continental ice is responsible for part of this rise, the rise in sea temperature is responsible for the other part, due to a phenomenon called " thermal expansion ", which causes the water to take up more space when it heats up.
"Molecules subjected to heat tend to agitate and move away from each other. Consequently, the volume they occupy in equal numbers is greater when the temperature rises., detailed Futura Sciences . However, this greater volume of water can technically only result in a rise in sea level.
More intense extreme phenomena
This increased heat also results in an intensification of certain extreme weather phenomena.
"The accumulation of heat in the oceans feeds convection and the formation of cyclones"thus explains to West France Catherine Jeandel, oceanographer and geochemist at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). In other words: a warmer ocean provides more " fuel " to cyclones, typhoons and other hurricanes, making them more severe and intense.
Episodes of extreme rainfall are also intensified by the warming of the seas and oceans. This is for example the case of the Mediterranean episodes, mentioned by Catherine Jeandel. "If the Mediterranean is warmer than usual at the end of the summer, if it has taken a lot of heat, evaporation will be greater and the air mass that will be pushed by the winds towards the Cévennes and the Alps will be more loaded with water. And when it encounters a mass of cold air, it will be done with more intensity. » The rains that will fall on this occasion will therefore also be more intense.
Suffering marine biodiversity
The trend rise in ocean temperature also has a very strong impact on marine biodiversity.
To illustrate the risks in this area, Catherine Jeandel once again takes up the example of the Mediterranean and the sea heat wave it suffered this summer. Temperatures "6°C higher than average" were then noted there, notes the researcher, explaining that such heat had, for certain species of Mediterranean coral, the effect of a " fire ".
With each wave of marine heat, biodiversity thus takes "a real blow, with the weakening of endemic species, ecosystems and fishing environments"she summarizes.
The modification of ecosystems does not happen without a collapse
— Catherine Jeandel, oceanographer at the CNRS
In the longer term, the warming of the oceans also pushes certain fish to migrate, and allows the arrival of other invasive species, native to traditionally warmer waters. An arrival that harms local ecosystems.
"There are more than 900 species that have arrived via Suez and flourish in the Mediterranean, especially in the eastern Mediterranean", lists Catherine Jeandel. But, she recalls, "invasive species are a major cause of the collapse of biodiversity". "The modification (of the type of species present in a sector) does not occur without a collapse: for example, if the lionfish and the rabbitfish graze very quickly on the Posidonia meadows (sea grasses typical of the Mediterranean ), it will be a real disaster for all the species that are housed there. »
And such a weakening of ecosystems also has a strong economic impact, notes the researcher: "In the Gulf of Lion, the arrival of blue crabs that eat eels forces us to switch from one economy to another, since the first eat the second. »

Warmer oceans are less efficient carbon sinks
Reheating of the oceans also puts the planet in a vicious circle. Because if they constitute a tremendous carbon sink (they have absorbed 93% of the excess heat emitted by humanity since 1970), the world's seas are less and less able to play this role when they warm up.
The warmer the ocean, the less it is able to absorb CO2
— Laurent Bopp, CNRS researcher and specialist in the link between climate and the ocean carbon cycle
"Gases are less soluble in warmer water," reminds LCI Laurent Bopp, research director at the CNRS and specialist in the link between climate and the ocean carbon cycle. So, "the warmer the ocean, the less it is able to absorb CO2 and the more a significant part of our emissions remain in the atmosphere".
If it is by nature less palpable than that of the atmosphere, the warming of the oceans must therefore be monitored just as much. If not, more.

SINGAPORE (Aug 17): UOB Kay Hian has upgraded its FTSE Straits Times Index (FSSTI) target forecasts up to 3,410 from 3,250 previously on "pockets of solid outperformances" in the 2Q17 financial reporting season, which concluded this week.
In a Thursday report, analyst Andrew Chow recaps on what he calls an encouraging 2Q17 reporting season, which saw 28% of companies reporting results that exceeded UOB's expectations versus 24% in the previous quarter – with the beats concentrated on banks and technology/exporters.
While 51% met expectations compared to 44% in 1Q, the number of disappointments fell to 21% in 2Q from 31% in the previous quarter, with notable disappointing results including those of Raffles Medical and Ezion.
While Raffles Medical came in only slightly below what was forecasted, Chow notes that investor concerns have arisen over the extent of the group's 2018/19 startup costs for its new China hospitals and how it would impact FY2017-19 earnings. The stock has been rated "hold" after its recent share price correction, with 2017/19 net profit projects being cut by 3-15% following its 2Q results announcement.
Driving the market earnings increase was the banking sector, where non-performing loan (NPL) formation eased on-year for all three banks, which enjoyed growth in fee income and asset quality. Chow's top "buy" bank picks are DBS and OCBC at target prices of $24.85 and $13.38 respectively.
The analyst also notes a stellar quarter for technology/exporter stocks under UOB's coverage, with most enjoying earnings upgrades – especially Sunningdale, which has been rated "buy" by the analyst with a target price of $2.51.
Another "buy" key technology pick is Memtech, which has been given a price target of $1.18 as its 2017-19F net profit estimates were raised 5-10% following the reporting of its results.
Meanwhile, developer stocks saw mixed results within the property sector with CapitaLand's 2Q results in line with UOB's estimates, whereas CityDev fell short of expectations on lower-than-expected contributions on timing of project completions.
Chow's preferred property stock picks are big caps Frasers Logistics & Industrial Trust (FLT), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT), Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT) and Ascendas REIT (A-REIT) with the respective price targets of $1.20, $1.90, 80 cents and $2.97.
As for shipyards, the analyst notes that Sembcorp Industries (SCI) – rated "buy" with a $3.57 price target and highlighted for preferred exposure within the sector – came in line with UOB's expectations, whereas Keppel's offshore and marine (O&M) contributions disappointed in contrast.
"All eyes are on SCI's strategic review which is expected to take place in late-17, with details available in early-18. SMM's 2Q17 actually exceeded our expectations due to strong core operating margin of ~10%, comparable with 2Q16's. We believe the improved margin was likely due to stronger contribution from the repair & upgrades segment," says Chow.
"We continue to favour reasonably priced stocks with visible earnings and reasonable yield. Our key picks are OCBC, CapitaLand, FLT, A-REIT, FHT, SATS, ThaiBev, Wing Tai and CCT… Investors with appetite for mid-caps could consider China Aviation Oil (CAO), Hotung, Memtech and Tianjin Zhongxin," says the analyst.
But Chow says investors should stay clear of SIA Engineering. He also advises "tactically topslicing" Singapore Airlines as the stock is trading at a premium to UOB's fair value of $10.10.

Everyone was timely, thorough and attentive. I was super pleased.
I had to change providers at the beginning of my second trimester. It's always a little tough finding a new OB doctor, especially with this being my first baby. Dr. Neal and his staff have been fantastic!! I have only been seen in the Temecula location. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming when I arrive. I'm always taken to my room in a timely manner.

A new Uptown Market is in town! Fridge & Pantry will be opening after Christmas break on January 1st, 2018. This new market will have everything you need, including toiletries, groceries, and a fresh deli and cafe, which will open a few days after the market on January 20th, 2018.
First of all, the decor is adorable. There are wood panels everywhere, taken from a real barn. The signs are very cute, and the whole place has a cool vibe. It feels like an organic health food store, but you look around, and they have ice cream, candy, and soda, among all of the other healthy options. It has everything you would find at a well-known grocery store.
I had the chance to try a few of the special treats they have. First, I tried a smoothie with the juice bar. It had raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries. It was fantastic! There also were other types of smoothies like strawberry banana cranberry and mango orange. I also tried two of their deli sandwiches, one was their turkey apple sandwich, which was amazing. Then, I tried a BLT which had Canadian bacon on it, which really worked well. The loaves of bread are made in a local bakery and are always fresh. I would love to try every sandwich on their menu. It was truly the perfect mix of hardy and healthy. The smoothie bar is a really nice touch, especially because Oxford doesn't have a lot of healthy options like this.
They even have an option to have a house account. You fill out an application with your credit card information, and you receive a member number. This way, you can set an unlimited monthly spending or get a grocery allowance from your parents. It's actually pretty convenient. Not only is this really close to campus, but it's also locally owned, which is really cool. The owners of Brick Street and Seaview uptown teamed up to make this little place a reality. I think it's just what Oxford needed!
So, when you get a chance, I would definitely recommend giving this a shot. It's more conveniently located than Kroger or Walmart and is locally owned. They have everything you could need. Plus a smoothie bar! The market opens 1/2/18 while the cafe opens 1/20/18!

Multiple dogs dead, one rescued after house fire in north St. Louis
Sarah Y. KimDecember 5, 2022
ST. LOUIS — Several dogs and puppies have died after a house fire in north St. Louis on Saturday night. Firefighters rescued a dog from the fire.
The fire developed in a vacant house on the 2000 block of Angelica Street. St. Louis Fire Department investigators said two dogs and a litter of puppies were in the building when the fire broke out.

Firefighters helped rescue and revive just one dog and shared video of the reaction via twitter. This dog is being treated for injuries at a local humanist society.
It is unclear when and how the fire broke out. However, the St. Louis Fire Department told FOX 2 that the dogs belonged to someone at a neighbor's house next door, who was using a vacant home to house the dogs.
The St. Louis Fire Department is conducting the investigation into the fatal fire. This is an evolving story. FOX 2 will be updated as more information becomes available.

Negative Liberties: Morrison, Pynchon, and the Problem of Liberal Ideology
Cyrus Patell
Literature and Creative Writing

In the past, large incision were almost always necessary in any case involving the bowel. Now, with the ability to access with laparoscopic and robotic approaches, smaller incision can be made and the recovery time is reduced.
In this type of minimally invasive surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision in the abdominal cavity to insert surgical instruments. Along with it, a long thin lighted tube with a camera on the end known as laparoscope is also inserted. This instrument is used to transmit high resolution images of the abdominal cavity to a monitor in the operating room.
The surgical instruments are the extension of the surgeon's hands to perform the procedure with much finer and more precise movements. In the newly emerging robotic colorectal surgery, the surgeon makes use of miniaturized instruments, operated with a console and a 3D camera to complete the operation, which makes for enhanced precision, flexibility, and control.
There are still situations when an Open Procedure is necessary. As the name indicates, the doctor makes an incision into the abdomen to access and to repair the area of concern. Inpatient hospital stay is usually 3-5 days and overall recovery time is longer than above two surgeries.
Patients who suffer from Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome may begin to develop scar tissue in the colon and rectum that can affect how those organs function. Diverticulitis, colonic bleeding, bowel obstructions, rectal prolapse, colon cancer, and hemorrhoids can effectively be treated by various types of colon surgery. In some cases, restructuring the bowel may be required to effectively control certain types of conditions that affect the colon. In the end, however, the surgical procedures that are performed can have a significant impact on the quality of life for the person being treated.
Glacier Surgical Associates uses the latest technology and information management protocols to conduct diagnosis and treatment of colorectal problems.

Florida rewards Mullen with $1.5 million raise, contract extension
Zach Abolverdi
Gator Sports
Florida coach Dan Mullen has received a $1.5 million raise and contract extension after leading the Gators to three consecutive New Year's Six bowl games, producing an SEC East title and a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2020.
He's now one of the four highest paid football coaches in the country.
Mullen's annual salary has been increased from $6,070,000 to $7,604,200, according to contracts released Tuesday by UF through public record requests. Mullen also has six years remaining on his contract, which has been extended to January of 2027.
More:Whitley: Dan Mullen's contract at Florida will take care of itself
"Dan has done a tremendous job in his three seasons at Florida, and we are fortunate to have someone with his obvious talents and head coaching experience leading our football program," Gators athletics director Scott Stricklin said. "I look forward to working alongside him to support his vision for Gators football and our student-athletes for many years."
Mullen, 49, went 29-9 in his first three years at UF, including back-to-back double-digit win seasons and a record-setting offense last fall. With an annual salary of $7.6 million, Mullen surpasses Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher ($7.5 million) and Georgia's Kirby Smart ($6.8 million) to become the third highest-paid coach in the SEC behind Alabama's Nick Saban ($9.5 million) and LSU's Ed Orgeron ($8.7 million). Clemson's Dabo Swinney ($8.2M) also makes more, placing Mullen fourth nationally among college football coaches.
"We are very excited about the future of the Florida football program, and this agreement allows us to continue to build on the success we have enjoyed on and off the field," Mullen said. "We want to thank the UAA Board, President Fuchs, Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin, and the entire University of Florida community for their support."
UF also released contract details on Mullen's new assistants and linebackers coach Christian Robinson, who received a $100,000 raise to put his annual salary at $390,000. New quarterbacks Garrick McGee will also make $390,000 annually on a two-year deal.
Secondary coach Wesley McGriff and cornerbacks coach Jules Montinar both signed two-year deals with annual base salaries of $450,000 and $250,000, respectively.
Tight ends coach and assistant head coach Tim Brewster is entering the second year of his two-year deal that pays $485,000 annually.

Floods, falling trees, and storms are frightening events you may be faced with as a homeowner. When disaster strikes, do you know who to call, what to do, and could it have been prevented?
Knowing what to do during a home disaster, how to file an insurance claim, and when it would benefit you to call an insurance public adjuster is essential in helping you get through nearly any property damage scenario.
insurancepublicadjustersofgeorgia.com compiled a list of the most common insurance claims, how many of them can be avoided, how to file a claim, and what to do when you feel your insurance company is underpaying your claim.
1 – Notify your insurance company of the damages.
2 – Review your policy and coverage with them.
3 – Ask what information is needed to process your claim.
4 – Document everything and be prepared to provide receipts, photos, videos, etc.
5 – Meet with an Adjuster.
6 – **Get an estimate for the total cost of repairs and replacement.
7 – Begin the repair and replacement process.
**If you feel that your insurance provider has not given you a fair offer, contact an insurance public adjuster to review the case and your insurance policy. They will go to work for you to retrieve the maximum payout for your property damage or loss claim.
The following are examples of damages that typically result in the filing of an insurance claim. In many of the following cases, losses can be minimized or avoided with some simple know-how.
Dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters, and all appliances that possess a water connection or drain can malfunction and leave you with a flood or water damage.
When the malfunction is from the water connection, quick action must be taken to prevent the buckling of the flooring or extensive structural damage. Hot water absorbs much faster and causes more severe damage than cold water. Nonetheless, both are emergency situations.
Prevention: Periodically check water connection points for leaks or corrosion and verify that the hoses, tubing, or pipes are unobstructed and undamaged (replace them when necessary).
When irregular sounds or cycles are detected, investigate the problem immediately. Sometimes, the appliance itself will need to be repaired or replaced.
Sump Pumps keep our basements and low-lying foundations free from accumulating water. However, when they fail to activate, flooding may occur very quickly.
Your insurance policy may not cover a sump pump failure, unless you take out a rider policy specifically for it.
Prevention: Periodically make sure that the wiring and hoses to and from your sump pump are all in good physical condition. Test the pump frequently.
If you believe frozen pipes are for the northern states, think again! Even the southern states can see temperatures below 32ºF.
During severe or prolonged freezes, water within pipes may expand, causing a buildup of internal pressure until the pipe bursts. Once the water within the pipe thaws, it's likely that you will have a flood on your hands.
Floods resulting from frozen pipe bursts are typically covered by insurance policies, as long as you are living in the home at the time, or took preventative measures before embarking on a vacation.
Prevention: Insulate outdoor pipes and their entry points to the home. If your plumbing runs through an exterior wall and cabinets are hanging in that location, open one or two of the cabinet doors to allow the home's warm air to reach the wall. Finally, opening a faucet to allow a trickle of water will help avoid the freezing of the pipes.
Ice dams are ridges of ice that form along the edge of a roof by thawing and refreezing water which prevent melting snow from draining off the roof. The water held back by the dam can leak through the roof causing damage to walls, insulation, ceilings, and other interior damage.
Damages caused by ice dams are typically covered by your insurance policy. If you are located in a region that is prone to frequent snow storms, verify that you do have this coverage or acquire a rider policy to cover it.
Prevention: Ice dams are difficult to prevent, as they often remain hidden from sight until temperatures stabilize above freezing. Once detected, they should be carefully removed as quickly as possible.
Roof damage from a hail storm can be very costly. Immediately after the storm passes, your roof and home's exterior should be thoroughly examined.
If damage from the storm is discovered, a claim should be filed immediately. For those who choose not to inspect their home and roof, by the time you notice leaks caused by the storm, it may be too late to file a claim. Revisit the terms of your policy to review and understand any applicable hail and wind exclusions. Contact a public adjuster if your roof has been damaged and your insurance provider is denying or under-paying your claim.
Prevention: There is no way to prevent a hail storm. You can prepare for them by conducting a fall inspection of your roof and making necessary repairs. If you live in a region prone to hail storms, consider installing hail-resistant asphalt shingles.
Storms can bring severe winds with them. While wind damages are typically covered by insurance policies, you should revisit your policy to review applicable hail and wind exclusions.
After a wind storm, much like the hail storm scenario, inspect your home and file a claim immediately if damage is discovered.
Prevention: Like a hail storm, there is no way to prevent a wind storm. You can prepare for them by securing or moving outside objects indoors. Garden gnomes and patio umbrellas can be destructive projectiles in severe winds.
Inspect the exterior of your home for loose fixtures, gutters, or shutters and fix them. Lastly, have the trees around your home inspected in the fall and have them pruned or removed if necessary.
House fires are devastating events that can result in catastrophic damages and loss. House fires are frequent in wintertime due to the increased use of lights, mobile heating units, or central heating systems; fires are more prevalent in the winter but can happen any time of the year.
Prevention: Before using fireplaces, space heaters, dryers, or central heating units, have them inspected for potential defects, malfunctions, or hazards.
It is also imperative to inspect your breaker box to ensure that it is clear from debris, readily accessible, and that each of the breakers can easily be tripped and reset. Breakers that do not function smoothly or create a hissing or sizzling noise need to be inspected and replaced immediately.
When a tree falls on your house, there are several calls to make! Among those calls are your insurance company, a tree removal service, a plumber to inspect the plumbing throughout the house, and a water removal company if there was flooding.
Even if the tree fell from a neighboring property, it is your insurance that will cover your damages.
Prevention: Trees that are on or surround your property should be inspected annually by an arborist to determine their health and if action is needed to treat or remove them.
Likewise, pruning and trimming activities, when done properly, will help those trees remain healthy, balanced, and survive severe weather events.
A homeowner's worst nightmare can come in the form of floods, falling trees, and storms. When disaster strikes, you have homeowners insurance to help you manage and get through unexpected damages to your home.
In this article, you learned how to file an insurance claim, what some of the most common insurance claims are, how to prevent significant damages, and when to call an insurance public adjuster.
Knowing how to respond to a home disaster, how to file an insurance claim, and when it benefits you to call an insurance public adjuster will help you recover from major damages to your home quickly. Your inaction or slow response could cause your insurance company to under-pay your claim or deny it altogether.

A province-wide organization, Seniors Action Quebec, was launched November 19 with the release of the report Enjoying Your Senior Years in Your Own Language, Culture and Community, by the Commissioner of Official Languages.
The report on English-speaking seniors in Quebec confirmed that despite higher education levels among English seniors, nearly as many are living below the poverty line as French seniors with less education. Since so many children of English-speaking families have left Quebec, the seniors left behind, of whom over half do not speak French, find themselves in a vulnerable position when seeking social and professional services.
"The commissioner and Seniors Action agree that all levels of government must now look at their planning and their programming and policies and make sure they address and include the senior element," says Ruth Pelletier, vice-president of the group.
The organization is already working on issues that affect seniors. In the fall it acted as a focus group for a fraud prevention initiative, and on National Seniors Day last October it held an event celebrating the contributions of senior leaders in the community.
Conferences are planned and committees are being set up on a number of issues. To learn more: 514-868-9044, info@seniorsactionquebec.ca, seniorsactionquebec.ca.

New initiative launched to help schools find fundraising opportunities
A new fundraising project has been launched to help schools raise money and improve the lives of pupils
FundStar, a not-for-personal-profit enterprise set up by David Evans MBE, has been formally launched after successful trials to offer schools a strategic and coordinated approach to their fundraising activity.
As schools experience a reduction in real-terms funding and increased costs, the pressure to raise money by alternative means is growing.
Whilst campaigns for more central government funding continue, schools must consider every route to pay for both the bare essentials and the added-value opportunities which will help children to thrive in their education. Many are even inviting parents to contribute to the cause.
Cue FundStar. which aims to make school fundraising easy, effective and smart.
Evans said: "Every school we speak to reports a unique experience of the effects of funding pressures, but what unites headteachers, teachers, governors, trustees and parents are concerns about immediate and long-term damage caused to children's education.
"Initiatives to press for more government funding should not stop but it is time for schools to take a more focused approach to raising funds for particular projects they wish to generate funding for that will help them deliver more opportunities for pupils."
Evans describes FundStar as "a modern version of the collecting tin at the side of the till, but with over 450,000 locations nationwide".
Parents, grandparents and others can register and receive a personalised FundStar prepaid debit card, and carrdholders shop in store and online as normal using their FundStar card.
Every time they use it to buy something, a micro donation (from 20p to £1 per transaction) is given to the school, and the project, of their choice.
These payments soon add up; the FundStar team estimates that an average sized secondary school can raise £15,000 per annum, and an average sized primary school can raise £5,000 per annum, enabling schools to buy the added extras that help deliver a quality education for their children.
The latest annual survey from Parentkind revealed that 43% of parents have been asked to give money to a school fund, with many now routinely making voluntary donations of up to £30 every month.

The survey also found that the average monthly amount being donated has increased from a reported £8.90 in 2017 to £11.35 in 2018. However, only 51% of parents know how the money is spent.
"FundStar essentially makes supporting our children's education through philanthropy an easy, day-to-day habit," Evans said.
"Increasingly, donors to good causes want to know where their money goes, and how it makes a difference. Not only can FundStar cardholders choose which school should receive their donations, they can choose which project or projects they would like to support.
"For example, a parent of a sporty child may decide to support the tennis court renovation project. The minibus project may be chosen by someone whose child benefits from outward-bound trips or, if a child would benefit from both, the cardholder can split their donations equally between up to three projects. The donor has complete visibility of, and total control over, where their money goes."
One of the first schools to sign up to FundStar is Tring School, a secondary school with academy status, with approximately 1,500 pupils aged between 11 and 18.
"The ever-shrinking pool of money for education is a real concern and it is short-sighted on the part of those making the decisions," said Rod Gibberd, the school's business director.
"Initiatives such as FundStar can do nothing but help. I was delighted that 24 hours after launching our first fundraising project, a number of parents signed up to FundStar. Donations are already being made to our dining-room furniture project."

'Really Living It'
Karleton Fyfe's mother had to be bedridden for the six months before he was born; he seemed to be in a hurry to get into the world.
There was so much to be excited about. Take the birth of his own son. He and his wife made it a group project. They sent family and close friends a video titled "It's a. . . ." showing them going for the sonogram, and at the end opening an envelope in which the doctor had written "boy." When Jackson turned 1, they asked the same group to write something and seal it for him to open when he turned 18.
Then, because Mr. Fyfe heard that the terrible 2's were caused by frustration at not being able to communicate, he taught his son sign language. "He was really living it," said Tristin Laughter a longtime friend of the couple.
Mr. Fyfe, 31, really lived everything, applying the same boyishness and determination whether he was mastering Steve Martin routines or the curveball as a kid, or tackling projects as a senior analyst at John Hancock — the job for which he was traveling on American Airlines Flight 11.

Karleton Fyfe's mother called his Brookline, Mass., home on Tuesday morning. She had seen the news of burning buildings and wanted to make sure her only son was not inside his 56th floor office in Boston.
He wasn't, Fyfe's wife, Haven, assured her mother-in-law. He was on an airplane.
Fyfe, a 31-year-old John Hancock employee and father of 1-year-old Jackson, was aboard American Airlines 11. The trip was for business.
Kansas City Star columnist Bill Tammeus had written almost all of his column--about the bombing--before he learned that Fyfe, his nephew, was a victim. "He's the kind of kid that if there was anything that could have been done on that plane to help, he would have done it," said Tammeus, who grew up in Woodstock.

Well done to the club members flying the ESC flag for the club.
Front bar looks great Clive.
Gee gotta love the 32 ford EVIL32. NICE!!
would like to let people know that my award has been withdrawn due to the car being put in the wrong class. As this wasn't the only one in the wrong class. thanks to everyone for the support.
Serious? That's a bit harsh. What class was it meant to be in?
Jeez! That's rather pathetic really! That's their own fault and they should wear it! What year is yours '88?
That is not really good enough Dave. I'm going to call one of the organisers today and ask him to look into how this happened and what they can do to compensate you, if they can.
Good idea Grant. Entry apps. show year/ make so there shouldn't be any mixup.
thanks grant it has been all fixed up. As we did get sent the 2011 form they are excepting responabliity. It will now be made 2 winners for this class.


Is there a section here that is directly related to educating and supporting spouses? My hubby is the best, and is really trying to support me. However, he's healthy as an ox and I don't think he really gets it…not for lack of trying though. Anyway, is there an area for spouses?
sounds like you do have a terrific hubby! My DH will write questions down if he can't go with me, so at least he's getting his questions answered that way.
I just thought that since we have this wonderful support for ourselves, maybe there was a need for support for the significant others in our life. A place for them to vent and ask questions without fear of retribution. To get support from other spouses/partners who are going through the same thing.
Having him go with you to the doctors will help also. My hubby always goes with me to all my doctor appointments.
he goes with me when he can. He's active duty Navy so he can't always get off of work to go. I am going to try to get him to go to the next appt at the end of the month. Let him ask his questions and get the answers directly from the doc. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!
Is this area I really lucked out. My wife came with me to the doctor office to tell me about having pre-diabeates, and we eat the same diet. So there's not two types of food in the house. She does more reading of Books on the sublect. so she up on what I can have and not have.
Have your husband check out this information site with you. It will explain everything he needs to know.
we will look it over tomorrow when he gets home. thank you for the site!
The best thing you can do is talk to your hubby. Let him know how you are feeling good or bad. Have him read the same information you do. He won't always get it because he isn't going through what you are. But talking and telling him how you feel and are doing will help him better understand what you are going though. It is not easy because sometimes you feel you are hitting a brick wall. Just keep knocking on that brick wall and you will start to chip away at it. Also check out the discussions section other it may help you.

When one encounters a multitude of such designations – marijuana oil, THC oil, cannabis oil, CBD oil – it is only natural to be slightly confused, especially if one does not have a firm grasp of the background of various cannabis-related products.
When you have a stage that is fragmented – some of these products are legal in all jurisdictions, some are illegal, some are partially legal, some are under re-consideration for long periods of time – populated by a host of actors with sometimes competing, sometimes overlapping, and sometimes plainly different interests (consumers looking for a safe, quality product; manufacturing and distributing companies seeking profits often at the expense of the consumer; authorities looking to enforce laws based on age-old preconceptions and sometimes manipulated science) you have the recipe for misinformation.
In this article, we try to walk over the thin ice of misinformation, piece together in a coherent way, the quality information from reputable sources about these types of oils, in order to deliver the definitive explanation of how and why these oils are distinct, how they may be considered somewhat similar, and how they differ according to particular conditions individuals may be addressing.
First of all, we discuss the types of plants that are cultivated for obtaining each oil; then we consider how the chemical substances contained in each oil affect the human body through the endocannabinoid system, followed by a presentation of the methods used for the extraction of each oil variation.
There is a good reason why we have referred collectively to the four oils that make the subject of this article as cannabis-related products. Because they are all, in one way or another, a byproduct of the cannabis plant. The designations become trickier when we take into account the criteria that make derivatives of one commodity to fall under different names.
The cannabis plant has been around for millennia, being one of the first crops grown by humans after the Neolithic Revolution for textile purposes. And it wasn't long before they noticed the recreational potential of their harvest. Nowadays, after thousands of years of selective plantation and breeding, botanists usually divide the cannabis genus into three species: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. They vary widely from species to species, and also within the same species. It would seem, on the surface, that as all the products above are extracts of cannabis, then all should be called cannabis oils. Nevertheless, that is only etymologically correct.
Cannabis Ruderalis has mostly been cultivated for the impressive size of its stalk, which is refined into textile fibers. Also, it is quite a sturdy plant, adapted to the unforgiving temperatures, with many cultures in the present day being at high northern latitudes. People over the years have also harvested the seeds of this particular type of cannabis and pressed them to obtain cooking oil.
This variation is also known as hemp, and when smoked it has little to no psychoactive effect. Therefore, hemp is legal in all jurisdictions, with modern (legitimate) companies producing hemp oil, especially for commercialization as dietary supplements, through many extraction processes.
As its name suggests, it is thought to originate on the Indian subcontinent and has for a long time believed to be the type that produces the most pronounced psychedelic reactions. From its appearance, it has more in common with the sativa species, yet it has not adapted to harsher climates, and for large economic incentives, cannabis indica is not very feasible, though it has its advocates.
Certainly the most popular type, due to potent recreational consequences, and because it is much more forgiving than indica, cannabis sativa is a favorite of both those engaging in illegal cultivation and trade, legitimate companies (where legislation permits), and bona fide researchers looking into cannabis as the future of (at least palliative) medicine.
Some may call this classification as being one of "ideal types" as these variations can have infinite instances of (inter)breeding, yet we should take that sativa and indica have no other applications other than the harvesting of chemicals in their composition for recreational and medicinal purposes. Until approximately four decades ago, this categorization would have been enough to explain how various byproducts of cannabis had originated. Nevertheless, to account for the four extracts that interest us, we have to resort to more recent and sophisticated taxonomies.
To better understand the position cannabis nowadays occupies in economy and society, we should move from the botanical realm to the judicial and political one. Back in the seventies, when cannabis was added to the controlled substances list by the US government, the only clear scientific notion legislators had was that some strains of cannabis contain a large concentration of a compound called tetrahydrocannabinol, the agent leading to psychoactive reactions in people who (mainly back then) smoked cannabis.
There was also an economic incentive to this legal move, as most cannabis consumed in the US originated in Central and South America, making its way in the country alongside other "harder" drugs like cocaine and heroin, via the illegal drug trade. Nevertheless, as cannabis has long been in the attention of medical professionals for its various properties, scientists were not deterred in their pursuit of cannabis as a therapeutic remedy for a number of ailments, and scientific inquiry into cannabis continued at a faster pace than before.
To make a long story short, over the next couple of decades, researchers discovered that cannabis realizes its expressions in the human body through a complex network of nervous and messaging cells called the endocannabinoid system, which contributes to the regulation of many physiological and psychological processes. This system consists of receptors and messaging molecules and is found all over the body (much in the same way as the lymphatic system, though much more dispersed and diffuse) of all mammals. The receptors (of which two types – CB1 and CB2 – have been properly identified and depicted) give the impulse to neighboring cells to produce the desired actions when cannabinoids get attached to them. In the natural state of equilibrium in the body, only "locally manufactured" cannabinoids act on the receptors, a few substances (which do not make the object of our article) called endocannabinoids act upon those receptors.
As you have probably noticed, these active substances have the "-cannabinoid" termination, and this is because they have similar, though far less potent, effects as the active substances in the cannabis plant, which were discovered first and are now known as phytocannabinoids. In the present day, more than 100 different phytocannabinoids have been singled out in the cannabis plant, in widely differing concentrations, mainly because of the breeding process used in obtaining the plants.
The most prevalent of these phytocannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – known for (but not reduced to) its psychotropic effects, and usually the cannabinoid with the largest concentration in any cannabis plant except for the ruderalis variant – and cannabidiol (CBD) – a substance which has been less researched than THC, but speculated to have a host of benefits and currently under monitorization by the US Food and Drug Administration for inclusion in future therapies impacting many medical areas. As a preliminary and highly gross simplification we should add that THC impacts the CB1 type receptors of the endocannabinoid system (being concentrated in the central nervous system, therefore the psychoactive effects), while CBD act upon the CB2 type receptors (more equally distributed along the peripheral nervous system and the immune system, hence its wide-ranging, yet less pronounced effects).
From a chemical point of view, the compounds THC and CBD are found in the cannabis plant as alkaloids which do not have the potential of entering into many biochemical reactions. This is why if you consume cannabis that has not been processed, you will not experience its effects first hand. Naturally, to enter into those reactions, cannabis has to be heated. Some experts argue that if one obtains oils using the cold-processing method, the concoction should yield all the benefits of cannabis without the psychotropic aftermath. The community nevertheless, is divided on the matter, and the truth is that the large majority of oils (be they CBD or THC abundant) involves heating mainly due to economic considerations.
The CBD Oil means simply an oil that is extracted from the cannabis plant that has a high concentration of the cannabidiol cannabinoid, usually at least 15 percent of the end-product, which is quite a feat considering that your average cannabis plant does not have over 3% CBD. Unlike the other three oil variations discussed here, CBD oil contains only traces of THC (far less than the 0.3 percent deemed illegal in most jurisdictions).
CBD oil has been one of the most discussed, popular, and controversial dietary supplements of the last few years. Many manufacturing companies (and especially that intent on confusing its consumers) have used the designations hemp oil, CBD hemp oil, and CBD oil interchangeably. While it is true that most CBD oils have their origin in the hemp plant, serious scientists can extract oils high in cannabidiol and low in tetrahydrocannabinol through the careful manipulation of strains of cannabis sativa. In fact, many recognized specialists in therapies involving cannabis stand only behind products derived from the sativa species.
Furthermore, hemp or cannabis ruderalis is a variant that is low on both major cannabinoids, and one needs a huge amount of plants in order to obtain CBD oil, therefore there is quite a significant possibility that dietary supplements marketed as CBD oil may have nothing to do with what is written on the label, as the control of such products is limited to non-existent.
Also, there are "purists" who are of the opinion that the designation "cannabis oil" is only deserving of extracts from indica and sativa plant parts which naturally secrete resinous trichomes, thus limiting the moniker severely. All in all, cannabis oil is a catch-all term which can be nuanced according to the individual or community one is addressing. In a market that is less than ideally regulated, one should expect remarkable linguistic variations.
These terms are almost always used interchangeably, as they both signify an oil with a high THC proportion (the lowest threshold would be around 15% while the most concentrated such solutions may contain up to 80 percent THC).
The confusions here derive from what is usually meant by the term"marijuana." Many legal statutes have only recently correctly defined the outlawed drug as cannabis with an "X" THC concentration (X differs from region to region). These statutes outlaw "marijuana" as people adopted the term before the transition to illegality and then the designation was perpetuated. Marijuana is just cannabis (naturally, we are referring to the indica and sativa varieties) cultivated with the specific purpose of obtaining psychotropic effects in a recreational setting and, more often, with the purpose of financial gains through illegal trafficking. "Marijuana oil" is customarily used in conversation to point out the illegal status of the product.
We hope that this classification has convinced you that these monikers are, for the most part, used to describe nuances and not absolutes, because when it comes to cannabis oils, there are no absolute differences, other than the legal limit from where the tetrahydrocannabinol concentration becomes prosecutable. For individuals looking to reap the health benefits that these oils may bring, the information in the next section – extraction techniques– is far more important than this tricky, yet (some would argue) risible etymological conundrum.
The "CBD camp" argues that the benefits of CBD are far superior to those of THC, not to mention its legality worldwide, and therefore only extracts from hemp should be considered as medicine.
Those who believe that unadulterated extracts of cannabis sativa and indica are the best, as nature should not be interfered with. The problem here lies in the fact that extraction methods always, if slightly, change the cannabinoid composition of the final product.
Ethanol-based – this technique is by far the most widely used, as ethanol is readily available in most countries, and does not involve obtaining high temperatures or pressures. There are several problems with this method: there is a risk of fire, as the purity of ethanol drops so does the cannabinoid composition in the oil and the unpleasant, grassy texture and taste of the end-result. The best results are achieved when using alcohol of at least 99 percent purity, yet the costs and expertise involved in handling it means that these instances are few and far between.
Naphtha-based – naphtha is a concoction of hydrocarbons which appear as a byproduct at natural gas sites. Though this type of extraction is frowned upon by environmentalists, the low cost and high yield of the naphtha-based technique makes it popular among companies which need to deliver important volumes of cannabis oils, quickly and from the least quantity of raw material as possible. This method all but wipes out cannabis' sought-after terpenes, though the cannabinoid concentration, visual and olfactive appeal of the oil do not suffer at all.
Petroleum ether-based – this technique very much resembles the naphtha-based one, but there are some differences: petroleum ether is much more expensive than naphtha, it tends to lower the THC content, yet it does not affect the terpenes composition. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
Olive oil-based – a manner of extracting cannabis oils which is gaining popularity, especially among DIY enthusiasts at the micro level. It seems that from the four "standard" methods of extraction, using olive oil as solvent keeps the most of the original cannabinoid and terpenes composition of the cannabis plant. For obvious reasons, this technique is not applicable to enterprises seeking extraction at an industrial scale.
