Conservative groups unanimously disapprove Trump's action
Conservative groups from all over the world including in US have unanimously disapproved Trump's horrible action. It is a kind of wonder. I didn't expect such unanimity.
Conservative disaprovement
Conservative groups from all over the world including in US have unanimously disapproved Trump's horrible action. It is a kind of wonder. Nobody expected such unanimity. It is a sign of the growth of real global Resistance with cold responsibility and a kind of common denominator.
Anti-Swamp pole emerging before our eyes
That is anti-Swamp pole emerging before our eyes. Breitbart (rather allusively), Ron Paul, Alt-right, AfD, Lega Nord, Marine Le Pen and hundreds and hundreds of conservative people and movements have met that Trump's act with indignation. The time is coming when we will create step by step the real ideological common platform based on vision of multipolarity and alternative world future in front of liberal totalitarianism and neocons hegemony.
The Syria and Russia are symbols
The Syria and Russia are symbols. The russophily is not necessary - but what is necessary -- real patriotism and the radical rejection of globalism. Trump was important figure of common struggle. He is no more. But the essential is already proved: American People is awakening. The people for conservatives does matter more than anything else. And those are their leaders who truthfully represent the People, the People as living historic entity with the identity, tradition and culture.
Conservatives are becoming mature.

What kind of job without a college degree but have a fairly high salary? In today's digital age, anything is impossible. Instead, you have many choices.
In a study conducted by financial finance consultants in London, UK, some of the following job industries do not require high degrees for their workers.
Everyone can be a sales person, just not everyone can be a successful salesman. If you are a creative person who even has a talented "selling" with a persuasive approach, marketing is the industry that suits you best.
Well, the sales salary figure is standard. But there is an opportunity to accumulate income from sales commissions that can be obtained with your sales skills.
If SEO, CRO, PPC and Adwords are inherent jargon in your everyday life, maybe you are ready to work in the digital industry. In this fast-moving industry, you can say that the science you learned while leaving university may be irrelevant in the future because of Google's frequent updates, which require technology experts to learn new strategies.
Not only "mix" program formula alone, some interesting positions in the digital world can also be your target.
If you are very organized, influential when talking to people and giving opinions that many people hear especially in difficult situations, then a career in Human Resources can be a suitable route for your career development.
Joining this division from the start in the ranks of staff ensures you to have a definite career ladder.
A career as a Personal Assistant can also be quite promising when you choose not to continue your education at the University level. Positive is the key in the business, being able to schedule, be patient and stay calm under pressure too.
Many companies view PA as an important driver in the workplace, and Personal Assistant salaries may vary depending on length of service and scope of work.
While it may require an educational qualification, it is also open to applicants with no degree in degrees. The main standard is completing standard airline training - it usually takes an intense four weeks, be it classroom meetings and hands-on practice.
The airline is known to provide its staff with out-of-pocket accommodation for long-haul flights.
Maybe office life is not for you, and starting your own business is like a call. Well, this is unquestionable. You can work at home with an indefinite time flexibility, but revenue keeps coming as long as you reliably promote a managed business huh.
Anyone has a hidden "unicorn" talent and when it is more sharpened it will "produce". Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates are building a giant business to billions of dollars in assets. If you are motivated and have great confidence, maybe now is the time to start building your own kingdom.
In the creative industry, qualifying experience often becomes the standard for earning the desired salary. But of course the journey to get to the "top" is very demanding hard work and low pay at the beginning. If you're willing to start at the bottom, get the experience you can to strengthen your CV portfolio, as well as visual representations of your hard work.
You often see photos of luscious food in magazines and social media. A food stylist is an important role behind it all. The task is to arrange food as interesting as possible so that it looks evocative taste. The works of food stylist can be appreciated for a very high salary, you know.


You may be well-aware of what a water softener is, and you may be wall-aware of what a water softener does. But do you know how a water softener works?
While you don't necessarily have to understand the functionality and processes of a water softener in order to use one, a little extra knowledge certainly won't hurt. Below, we will discuss the method behind the operation of the modern water softener in Kildeer, Illinois.
In order to understand how a water softener operates, you should first know the difference between hard water and soft water. After all, a water softener is responsible for taking hard water and making it soft.
Hard water is water that contains primarily two minerals: calcium and magnesium. These minerals are pumped with the water when it's brought up from the ground. Their existence within water can cause a number of problems, including mineral buildup on appliances, and within water pipes.
On the other hand, soft water is water that is void of calcium and magnesium. Not only is it less destructive than hard water, it cleans better, and is consumed more easily as well.
The driving force behind the water softener is the concept of ion exchange. Ion exchange works within a water softener by trading positively charged sodium for positively charged calcium and magnesium.
A positively charged resin containing sodium ions is placed inside the water softener. As hard water travels through the softener, the sodium ions on the resin exchange with the calcium and magnesium ions within the water.
After the resin has attracted the calcium and magnesium ions, the water softener will send through the conditioned water. This water will contain trace amounts of sodium, but will contain no magnesium or calcium.
In order for a water softener to function consistently, it will require a bit of maintenance. Namely, it will necessitate that you fill it with a special form of softener salt.
This salt will essentially replenish the resin within the softener, supplying it with sodium ions so that it can engage in further ion exchange. If you don't add salt to your water softener on a regular basis, the resin within it will soon run out of sodium and will no longer be able to attract calcium or magnesium ions. In essence, your water softener will fail to soften water.
How Important is It to Have a Water Softener in Kildeer?
Here in Kildeer, hard water is a bit of a problem. This area of the country has some of the hardest water in all of the United States. Because of this, its negative effects tend to magnify themselves.
Not only do residents find it difficult to clean with hard water (it produces a lack of suds), they find that hard water has a destructive effect on their water appliances. Water pipes, sinks, faucets, dishwashers, and refrigerators all suffer reduced lifespan because of hard water—not to mention unsightly stains.
If you want to avoid these ill-effects, it's wise that you utilize a water softener. If you don't mind dealing with them, you will not need a water softener.
Interested in Installing a Water Softener in Kildeer, Illinois?
Now that you've learned how a water softener works, perhaps you are interested in installing one in your home? If so, we here at Johnson Water Conditioning can help you.
We supply, install, repair, and maintain water softeners of all different sizes. Whether you're looking to soften the water in your home, or in your commercial building, we can accommodate you.


It can get a little tiresome sometimes using all of them on one phone, but the points and rewards add up fast so I don't complain much. You can change the settings in some of them to maximize ads that pop up or minimize, but that also affects how much your earnings are on those apps. I have all these lockscreen apps on the main phone because it gets the most usage out of the apps.
They are not rewarded based on how much they are used, so I only use them once or twice a day to get the max rewards per day.

Truces may come and go, but Israeli soldiers have really left. A 72-hour, Egyptian-brokered ceasefire is now in place over Gaza, silencing hostilities that have killed 1,800 Palestinians and 67 Israelis. Israel has claimed victory in destroying the cross-border supply tunnels used by Hamas and has pulled its ground forces out of Gaza. Negotiations between the two sides — set to resume in Egypt — must now turn the three-day respite into a lasting peace.

Pulling Troops
The UN lender has promised the funds in response to rising death tolls in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea amid worldwide concern that the virus will spread. In NYC, a man who arrived from West Africa with Ebola-like symptoms has been placed in isolation, and a doctor has fallen ill in Nigeria — both cases highlighting mounting fears over the widening reach of the disease. Health authorities hope to use the new funds to stem the virus's "catastrophic" potential.

President Ronald Reagan's press secretary, who was partially paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair after John Hinckley's 1981 assassination attempt, has died at the age of 73. The attack turned Brady and his wife Sarah into ardent gun-control advocates, culminating in the fiercely fought and approved 1993 Brady Bill that requires background checks for handgun purchases. President Obama called Brady a "legend" and hailed him for "turning the events of that terrible afternoon into a remarkable legacy of service."

Lights across Britain went off last night to commemorate the outbreak of World War I, honoring a 100-year-old prophecy by the UK's Foreign Minister Edward Grey: "The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime." From the Houses of Parliament to soccer stadiums nationwide, Brits observed an hour-long blackout. The dark tribute shined a light on the 700,000 British soldiers lost in the "war to end all wars."

If "Facebook is the new town square," as one pro-democracy activist suggests — referring to the popularity of the social network in media-controlled Vietnam — then there's also a new sheriff. Nearly 25 million Vietnamese use the banned site, but a government-sponsored "online army" is reportedly targeting and shutting down activists' accounts by reporting them for "misuse." Nearly 100 activists have been targeted, and they're growing wary of the "army" ironically using Facebook's "democratic" abuse-report system to its advantage.
Shut Out
Racial inequalities are apparently still rife in one of America's oldest institutions: the Army. Budget cuts and the subsequent cull of U.S. Army majors are hitting African-American officers disproportionately hard. Just over five percent of white majors have been dismissed, but nearly 10 percent of African-American and eight percent of Hispanic majors have received pink slips. The Army board claims to have taken performance evaluations into account, but did it consider race?
Major Issue
Cue parental groans: A new study shows that video gaming for up to an hour a day can benefit children aged 10 to 15. Oxford University scientists reveal that children who play in small doses are more satisfied with life and better adjusted socially. But the study also shows that too much can be a bad thing. So while many parents prefer that kids play outside, it seems temporary "square eyes" can lead to well-rounded children.

The Cincinnati Bengals know all about pressure. Many publicly questioned why they ignored high-profile quarterback options in this summer's NFL draft, sticking instead with Andy Dalton. Post-season disappointment Dalton — with just one touchdown and six interceptions in three playoffs — has now landed a six-year, $115 million contract. But the team hasn't totally ignored critics: The 220-pound Texan doesn't get shown all the money unless he delivers playoff wins.

Suspension of the Global Strategic Balanced broker fund
The fund, which is managed by deVere and Partners, has been suspended as at 25 February 2013
The Global Strategic Balanced broker fund currently invests directly into the UAM Strategic Growth fund.
The UAM Strategic Growth fund has received a significant number of redemption requests recently and as a consequence the fund has immediately been suspended whilst the fund administrators manage the redemption process. The fund administrators have issued a statement to shareholders which advises that should they process all redemption requests received it would have a material impact on the percentage of liquid assets left in the fund. As this could seriously impact the interests of remaining shareholders as a whole (which includes our policyholders) they have made a decision to suspended the fund whilst they seek ways to rectify the current position.
As a consequence of the UAM Strategic Growth fund being suspended, this means that we are unable to calculate a price for the Global Strategic Balanced broker fund and have therefore also had to immediately suspend the fund. This has been done to protect the interests of our own policyholders.
How this impacts our policyholders
Whilst in suspension, policyholders will be unable to make a switch into, or out of, the Global Strategic Balanced broker fund. They will also be unable to surrender units from, or pay premiums into, the fund. The fund effectively becomes frozen during this period.
Regular premium paying policies
As the suspended fund cannot currently accept subscriptions, during the suspension period it is important that any policies paying regular premiums into the Global Strategic Balanced broker fund are allocated to an alternative fund available. This fund will be the SPILA Deposit fund in the same currency the policy is denominated in.
*Important - The SPILA Deposit Fund is a money market fund and therefore of a lower risk asset class than the Global Strategic Balanced fund. Although it is likely to be a less volatile fund, the returns on these types of funds are also likely to be lower due to the current interest rates available.
As RL360 are dependent on receiving information from the fund administrator as to the current position with the UAM Strategic Growth fund, we are unable to provide any timeline as to when the fund may start pricing again. We will provide an udpate to policyholders and their advisers when we receive any updates from the fund administrator.
A policyholder communication has been issued to those affected by the suspension. A copy has also been sent to the servicing adviser firm for their information. A sample of the letters issued can be obtained from the links opposite.

Q: my battle against web-server monitoring - slow server Munin print-screen for reference: http://img29.imageshack.us/i/munin.gif/
I monitor a web-server which basically runs apache+php+mysql.
No emails, no FTP, pure web-server.
The server is serving pages slow...
I think the bottleneck is MySQL configuration.
Quick Facts:

*

*most of queries are SELECTs, very few INSERTs and rare DELETEs

*mirror backup runs around 3AM - represented by the red line at the image provided

*I use tuning-primer.sh to help me adjust MySQL

*Server uptime is 26 days

*2GB ram, Pentium(R) Dual-Core E5200 @ 2.50GHz, 7200 disk

*I have log_slow_queries enabled and long_query_time = 1

*Today I switched on the log-queries-not-using-indexes. That's why the slow-queries graph is displaying a peek

MyQSL tweaks I did on the my.cnf:

*

*join_buffer_size = 10M

*max_heap_table_size = 200M

*tmp_table_size = 300M

*init-connect = 'SET NAMES utf8; SET CHARACTER SET utf8;'

*default-character-set = utf8

*character-set-server = utf8

*open_files_limit        = 2048

*log-queries-not-using-indexes

*key_buffer              = 256M

*max_allowed_packet      = 16M

*thread_stack            = 192K

*thread_cache_size       = 8

*max_connections        = 100

*table_cache             = 1024

*thread_concurrency     = 10

*query_cache_limit       = 4M

*query_cache_size        = 64M

Why yesterday and before everything was working OK? We didn't add new code or having a peek of visitors.
By looking at munin's graph do you see anything odd beside the slow-queries peek?
Do you recommend installing other tools in order to improve monitoring?

A: Number of processes has jumped, as has number of "Established" TCP connections (nearly 2x) -- I would track down the cause of those and see if it's related to the performance nosedive.

Stand with KAALE against live exports
The government, police and the industry working in concert to shut down campaigners.
Occasions like these demonstrate that you really couldn't get a fag paper between authorities paid to protect animals, and those making fortunes out of enslaving and killing them.
When the vulnerable are abandoned by the law, we all have a duty to take action ourselves.
Please send a message of solidarity to Kent Action Against Live Exports. let them know you stand with them.
Live exports must end
Disappointing to see no explicit commitment to end live exports in today's queen's speech. UK Govt. has pledged to consult on transport of animals.
Scotland for Animals will work to ensure any legislation includes a ban on exports for slaughter and fattening after leaving EU.
Skins are for serial killers
Check out this fantastic online magazine Animal People, Inc. publishing animal related news and views from across the globe.
Piece by Scotland for Animals HERE
Live export conditions; Scottish Government needs to act now.
We were at the Scottish Government offices at Saughton House today, protesting the signing off of live export journeys in unacceptable conditions.
Scotland for Animals member Kay Hamilton, Dowager Duchess of Hamilton, requested to speak to Government Chief Veterinary officer Sheila Voas, and Agriculture and Rural Economy Directorate's Phil Burns to discuss issues.
A government official has agreed that a meeting will now be arranged.
New welfare proposals don't go anywhere near far enough
The Scottish Government has this morning announced it's Animals and Wildlife (Penalties, Protections and Powers) (Scotland) Bill.
Assurances that Scotland's inadequate and ineffective animal welfare legislation would be properly strengthened have not been honoured.
Scotland for Animals believes that the Bill is an opportunity to secure real protection for animals, but in it's current form is grossly deficient.
Animal abuse must now be recognised in law as a crime against society, and procedures of reporting, investigation, prosecution and penalty must reflect this.
Throughout the progress of this Bill we ask that you support us in pressing government and MSPs to make changes.
We can't, and won't allow them to continue to leave animals vulnerable.
See our plans for a new approach here; https://scotlandforanimals.org/home/tougher-sentencing-for-cruelty/
North Berwick campaigns stall
Thank you to everybody in North Berwick backing our calls for tougher sentencing, and an end to live exports.
Change is coming.
Protest brings racing ban a step closer
Thursday's protest at parliament was a great display of international solidarity against exploitation and cruelty.
Well done to Say No To Greyhound Racing In Scotland for taking the fight right to the politicians who are allowing it.
Article 13 and animals
Sadly, we're noticing another surge in misinformation regarding EU legislation and animal sentience.
As we've previously pointed out Article 13 of the Lisbon Treaty does indeed recognise that animals are sentient beings and states that "full regard" be paid to their welfare.
What politicians and organisations aren't telling people is there's a caveat contained in the same Article which effectively gives licence to states to completely disregard this sentience if they so wish.
You can go into any factory farm, research establishment or bullring across the EU and see how much use Article 13 is.
See Scotland for Animals statement from 2017 HERE
2018; Over half a million procedures on animals
Scotland for Animals has obtained separate statistics for scientific procedures carried out on live animals in Scotland in 2018.
The total number recorded; 506, 901.
This is 14.4% of the UK total. Taking population into account, Scottish establishments are again responsible for a disproportionately large number of procedures.
Species involved include;
Guinea-pigs
Scotland for Animals Spokesman John Patrick;
"Again we see Scotland massively involved in experimentation, and the creation of genetically altered animals for so-called research.
Data shows that the "success rate" for practical results deriving from this is lamentable. Any other method with such dismal efficacy would have been abandoned long ago.
We want to see real, scientifically driven research, and for government to actively and openly support this.
Scotland could be, and we believe one day will be, a world leader in proper innovation without the use of animals.
We call on the Scottish Government to request immediate devolution of powers in this area, and to implement current powers to divert funds to research using non-animal models.
If it is really about saving lives this is the only way forward."

Given the early age at which kids begin developing attitudes about spending and saving, parents of any means do well to begin discussing money matters shortly after potty training is finished. Children who understand the value of money tend to save more and have healthier financial attitudes throughout life. Teaching them the value of a dollar early helps them make solid economic decisions for a lifetime.
Obviously, explaining economic realities to children takes different techniques at age 8 than age 18. That said, kids of all ages respond to basic financial lessons in concepts such as opportunity cost.
Start small and start young when it comes to teaching the little ones what money means. Younger children may lack the ability to visualize large dollar amounts, but nevertheless understand that they can buy a chocolate bar when they have a dollar in their kiddie purse but cannot when their pockets hold nothing but lint. Teens benefit from lessons in how to handle credit responsibly as they prepare to head off to the university and must budget for tuition, housing and books.
Follow the tips below to find age-appropriate ways to start children on the path to financial literacy.
Younger children risk falling prey to the money-grows-on-trees mindset when they're raised in households of plenty. Conversely, children raised in homes where economic insecurity leads to lack tend to associate money with painful emotions. Children raised in extreme poverty where homelessness and food insecurity proliferated can develop PTSD from constantly finding their most basic needs unmet.
Use piggy banks as starting points for discussions about money. Use multiple piggies or simple mason jars labeled for disposable spending, savings for large purchases and savings for long-term goals.
Play dates can provide another way to teach financial literacy, even if parents lack the means to provide their youngsters with an allowance. When they're waiting to take their turn playing with a coveted toy, for example, use it as a teachable moment to discuss how waiting now can lead to bigger rewards later.
Children in elementary and intermediate schools have met peers born into families with diverse economic situations. Teaching money matters through play can help grow financial literacy skills.
As children begin to develop future career aspirations during this age, use their natural play tendencies as teaching tools. Playing supermarket cashier with a toy register can help youngsters learn to budget for the family's nutritional needs. Kids who enjoy playing school can benefit from a virtual shopping trip to select supplies to stock their classrooms.
Around age 12, some children begin developing the maturity necessary to take on small jobs and earn their own cash. Examples of tasks kids can perform for money include completing basic administrative jobs for work-at-home parents, babysitting younger siblings for short periods and cutting a neighbor's lawn. Even children in families who can provide for all their wants benefit from taking on work to reinforce thoughts about the value of a dollar.
Parents of children in this age range can utilize prepaid debit cards to teach the fundamentals of credit management. Kids learn more from making their own mistakes than from listening to a thousand lectures, so allow youth the opportunity to make money mistakes now when consequences matter little. This process trains them to recognize the importance of balancing saving with spending down the road.
As teens enter high school, most become ready to accept more intense financial lessons. Parents can involve teens in discussions of how to pay for higher education through scholarships, grants, loans and savings. Threatening children often backfires and causes rebellious behavior, so keep these conversations positive instead of punitive. Instead of reading Junior the riot act over a less-than-spectacular report card, calmly sit down and discuss how the matter may impact future prospects.
Teens likewise benefit from access to small amounts of credit, which teaches them not to take on more debt than they can comfortably manage monthly in payments. Likewise, allowing those approaching the driving age to save for their own vehicle teaches them far more than simply buying them a car or handing down an older one.
The ultimate goal of financial literacy is allowing children to survive on their own regardless of the current economic climate. Before your precious babe signs the lease on their first apartment, make sure they have a solid understanding of what they'll be responsible for affording solo.
Teaching young adults the consequences of eviction or missed utility payments gives many parents stomach butterflies. However, instructing those leaving the nest about how certain money moves can help or hinder their future economic security proves easier to digest than having their 40-year-old returning to live in their basement.
The most important thing for young adults to learn is how to create and maintain an emergency fund. Far too many find that financial disaster means putting unexpected expenses like car repairs on credit cards only to pay exorbitant amounts of interest by making only the minimum payment. In addition, having enough set aside to handle six months' worth of expenses helps stave off disaster should corporate layoffs or downsizing reduce future income.
The attitudes and habits children develop in their formative years remain with them for a lifetime. Parents have a sacred duty to provide their offspring with the tools necessary for survival, and in western society, that includes financial literacy. Teaching solid money management to kids today grants them a more secure future tomorrow, so don't wait.


Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro floated a 2018 run for Senate against Sen. Ted Cruz in an interview Tuesday morning — and by Tuesday afternoon, the Texas Republican firebrand had sent out a fundraising missive warning supporters about the potential challenge.
Ted Cruz announced Wednesday that he has filed the official paperwork to run for his Senate seat in 2018.
"Heidi and I feel incredibly privileged to have made the run for president and be part of an incredible grassroots movement," Cruz said in a statement released through his Ted Cruz for Senate campaign committee. "I will continue fighting for jobs, freedom, and security in the Senate for 27 million Texans and all Americans across this great country. The conservative movement remains strong and vibrant. When conservatives are united, we are far more effective."
California Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that he'll be creating a campaign committee in preparation for a 2018 run for governor.
"I've never been a fan of pretense or procrastination," he writes in an email to supporters set to be delivered this afternoon.
Democrats start lining up behind the state AG in the 2016 race.
Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill said Monday that she won't run for governor in 2016, with the two-term Democrat instead positioning herself for a "very likely" reelection bid in 2018.
McCaskill had been considering a gubernatorial campaign, and aides maintained she was deciding what office would give her the greatest impact on Missourians, as well as how her choice might affect her family. She said she made her decision over the holidays.
Red-state Senate Dems leaving for greener pastures?
Facing 2018 reelection, Heitkamp, Manchin and McCaskill are mulling 2016 gubernatorial bids.
UPDATE: Claire McCaskill on Monday announced she will not run for governor of Missouri in 2016.
The 2014 Republican rout left just five red-state Democrats in the Senate — and three of them are thinking about an early exit, decisions that could complicate Democrats' plans to take back the chamber in 2016 and beyond.

Grants to help people with opioid use disorder find treatment to improve their lives
As the opioid crisis continues to impact communities in Colorado, individuals with an opioid use disorder are seeking treatment. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is helping lead the way to increase access to medication-assisted treatment, also known as MAT.
The University of Colorado Center for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention, which is part of the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the University of Colorado College of Nursing are pleased to announce the award of grant funds to health care organizations to serve people with opioid use disorders in 16 counties.

Between December 2017 and June 2019, the College of Nursing administered a successful MAT pilot program in Pueblo and Routt counties with funds from the Colorado General Assembly, resulting in 1,005 individuals receiving MAT and behavioral therapy services through three health care settings. The main medications used are buprenorphine, also known as Suboxone, and naltrexone, also known as Vivitrol, which reduce withdrawal symptoms and control cravings.
The program showed life-changing results.
"MAT changed my life by giving me the treatment and support I needed to take care of my health, control my use disorder, and begin recovery," said Ashley McAuliffe, who received treatment from Mountain Medical Road to Recovery program in Steamboat Springs, which received funding as part of the pilot program. "Suboxone helped me come off of heavy opioid abuse. I'm exercising now and taking care of myself. So many people need this service."
McAuliffe's story is an example of how MAT can help people turn their lives around, according to Tanya Sorrell, PHD, a CU School of Nursing associate professor.
"The program helps them sober up, return to work and their families, and become contributing members of society again. We're helping them get their lives back," said Tanya Sorrell, PhD, a CU School of Nursing associate professor.
The success of this pilot attracted the attention of Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia, who introduced as a top legislative priority Senate Bill 1 of the 2019 legislative session for continuation and expansion of MAT services. The bill, which Gov. Jared Polis signed in May, allocated $5 million for a two-year period to the Center for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention to work in association with the College of Nursing to expand access to MAT in the San Luis Valley and in two additional counties with high rates of opioid overdose.
About 47,000 people in Colorado have an opioid use disorder, according to a 2018 study by the Colorado Health Institute.
"The opioid epidemic is a statewide crisis, and rural and frontier communities have been hit hard. In these areas, there is a shortage of providers able to prescribe treatments that have been proven scientifically to be safe and effective," said Dr. Robert Valuck, a professor at the CU School of Pharmacy and the director of the Center for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention. "Expanding this program will make it easier for people to get the treatment they need."
The following organizations will receive Year 1 funds and technical assistance to implement MAT and behavioral therapy services:
$50,000 to Providence Recovery Services/Memorial Regional Hospital (Moffat and Rio Blanco counties)
$100,000 to Colorado Treatment Services (Pueblo County)
$140,000 to Health Solutions (Pueblo County)
$140,000 to Mountain Medical Road to Recovery (Routt County)
$150,000 to Front Range Clinic (Mesa County)
$155,760 to River Valley Family Health Centers (Montrose and Delta counties)
$353,470 to Las Animas Huerfano Counties District Health Department (Las Animas and Huerfano counties)
$875,000 to Valley-Wide Health System, Inc (Alamosa, Costilla, Conejos, Custer, Mineral, Rio Grande and Saguache counties)
Representatives of the organizations receiving funding believe it will have a major impact in their communities.
"Valley-Wide Health Systems is grateful and excited to be awarded the MAT expansion grant and to work in collaboration with SLV Health, Rio Grande Hospital, SLV Behavioral Health Group, and SolVista Health," said Jania Arnoldi, CEO, Valley-Wide Health Systems, Inc. "This collaborative will use Senate Bill 1 funding to increase access to and coordination of care throughout the San Luis Valley for the benefit of anyone seeking treatment for substance use disorder."
Services based on the awarded funding are scheduled to begin in January 2020.

Senecio campylocarpus
Senecio campylocarpusbulging fireweed
Group: Magnoliophyta (flowering plants), Magnoliopsida (dicots), Asterales, Asteraceae
Status: Threatened Species Protection Act 1995: vulnerable
Senecio campylocarpus (bulging fireweed) is a semi-aquatic perennial herb, known in Tasmania from three extant sites and a site that may now be extinct, all from the northern Midlands and greater Launceston area. In Tasmania, the species occurs in flood-prone lowland grassy habitats associated with major river systems. The data suggest that the total population in Tasmania is small, and likely to number fewer than 1,000 plants and occupy much less than 1 ha in total, placing the species at risk from chance events, the risk exacerbated as fireweed plants may not be seen or only persist in low numbers between disturbance events. Ongoing agricultural activities on private land risk the further loss or degradation of habitat and perhaps explain the now fragmented distribution of the species in Tasmania. As well as preventing the destruction of known and potential habitat by clearing, inundation or severe degradation, the most important needs of the species are to prevent overgrazing by stock, competition from weeds, and changed hydrology of known sites.

Collections of this semi-aquatic perennial herb in Tasmania have been made from January through to May, but the detection window is likely to be much wider.
Senecio campylocarpus occurs on grassy margins of permanent rivers in the Midlands and on broad floodplains.

Blessed will be the Righteous...
AS Percy Bysshe Shelley, major English Romantic poet and political activist has noted, the most pernicious mistake ever made in the world is the segregation of political science from morality.
This seems to be the underlying intent of Mr. Bidzina Ivanishvili in his new political venture and something that he clearly applied throughout life in his business and personal matters. An individual is defined not only by what he does, but how he does it.
Moral and ethics in political
life is naturally something all leaders, in all countries and political systems should strive for. However, if in majority of democratic countries this is backed by an efficient and rational governing approach, in Georgia a direct and personal approach to people is additionally required. This Georgian specific relationship between the rulers and the people is one of the most deeply ingrained characteristics of the country and something that Mr. Ivanishvili seems to have instated. This makes me believe that Batoni Bidzina is a modern, democratic and purely Georgian leader.
It is not a political program that should be valued, but the people. It is these people in the government that have the tools that have a direct effect on the masses, which either move them towards integrity and moral virtues or move them away from it. It is said that with bad laws and good civil servants it's still possible to govern. But with bad civil servants even the best laws can't help. Batoni Bidzina trusts this approach in his position as the Prime Minister and his team of political partners backs this vision. He is clear in his belief that leader is responsible not only for the way he governs, but for the people under his jurisdiction. This of course by no means undermines pragmatic political and economic programs offered by Mr. Ivanishvili. Henry A. Wallace once stated that in an effort to eliminate the possibility of any rival growing up, some monopolists would sacrifice democracy itself. Tackling this issue has been one of the first economic topics on Batoni Bidzina's agenda, as well as the development of the Georgia's agrarian sector. In line with Ilia Chavchavadze's beliefs of Georgia as an agrarian country priority is being made on the country's nature, climate, land variety and traditions.
Going forward, I hope the current modest behavior of Mr. Ivanishvili and his team on the achieved political successes will be more vocal. In the words of John D. Rockefeller - Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing. This approach however is not applicable to charity, as the reward for doing the good is in the deed itself. Batoni Bidzina has been an exemplary case of this in its full Biblical breadth:
Matthew 6:1-4: "Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do…that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward… your Father who sees in secret will reward you."
The world offers many a privileged life by birth, while BatonI Bidzina was able to create these opportunities and make a living. Careers made using one's head are more firm and durable. Mr. Ivanishvili's faith in dignity of labor, be it mental or physical, helped him achieve success on a global scale in business, politics and personal life. It is the latter part that evokes the most admiration. His traditional family values are organically integrated with his modern creative thinking, which can also be seen in one of the finest modern art collections in the world. I thus believe, and ardently desire that Batoni Ivanishvili has the capability to aid in safeguarding Georgia's unique identity, while forming a modern and democratic country.
In conclusion, I wish Batoni Bidzina luck in the future, in the words of J.D. Rockefeller "The secret of success is to get up early, work late and strike oil."

This radio looks very much like its predecessor ,but many upgrades has been performed..
The receiver now complied with regulations for use as a "Ship- Broadcast Receiver with limited permission" (Permission= "Zulassung / Zeefunk"
Grundig made use of this fact in the marketing of the radios. The set has fastening-holes for screws on the bottom of the chassis for mounting aboard ships (etc.) ,together with separate holes for the fastening of the (optional) ,external SSB-unit.
Like for the earlier models, an "amateur" model "Grundig Satellit 210 Amateur" was also manufactured. The Satellit 210 Amateur now also had a separate band-spread for 160 meters.
The Satellit 210 was available in black(leather-look)/metal or wood.


Finds a field based on its name.
Call FieldByName to retrieve field information for a field when only its name is known. FieldName is the name of an existing field. FieldByName returns the TField component for the specified field. If the specified field does not exist, FieldByName raises an EDatabaseError exception.
FieldName can be the name of a simple field, the name of a subfield of an object field that has been qualified by the parent field's name, or the name of an aggregated field. Because of this flexibility, it is often preferable to use FieldByName rather than the Fields property.
FieldByName is especially useful at design time for developers who are creating database applications, but who do not have access to the underlying table and therefore cannot use persistent field components.
To retrieve or set the value for a specific field, call the default dataset method FieldValues instead of FieldByName.


What Do Germs Grow Best in, Hot or Cold Weather?
One of the common places to find harmful germs is in food. Germs in food thrive in warmer conditions. This is the reason refrigeration of food is necessary. It prevents contamination and the health risks that eating unrefrigerated foods can cause.
The germs commonly associated with illness (the common cold, for example) are more active and grow in warmer temperatures (this is the main reason hospitals keep their indoor temperatures so cool). Despite the old myth that colder weather causes sickness, bacteria are much more active in warmer weather. The spread of illness during the colder months is attributable to the congregating of people indoors.
Nearly all germs thrive in warmer conditions. To keep infection down, it is helpful to keep both your food and your living conditions cool.


When searching for a hotel, the first and foremost thing to do is to select the hotel that fits your budget and also has the best reviews. Websites like www.tripadvisor.com and www.yelp.com are a few to help you select the hotel that would fit your preference.
Once you have selected the hotel that has the best reviews and the budget you are looking for, find the best rate you can for that hotel online. Once you have found the best possible rate for that hotel, give a call to that hotel directly, asking to better or match the rate that you found online. 9 out of 10 times, the hotel will definitely give you a much better rate.
Hotels have to pay commission to all the third-party websites, so rather than paying a third-party website for the same thing which could be done directly, it would be in the best interest for the customer and the hotel.
Most hotels can also offer much better customer service and help you in any last minute changes as they won't be obligated to the third-party website policies. You can call the hotel directly for any changes and won't have to wait in line for a customer service representative to relay your message.
Additionally, you get more in-depth knowledge of the area as the email confirmations you receive directly from the hotel are more detailed to give you the best experience of the area.
The Old West Inn management has provided a detailed visitor's travel guide for the area. Click here for Travel Guide on your way to Visit Willits.
After Booking your hotel directly with the best possible rate, there is a very good chance that hotels offer a cash discount. With overwhelming charges from Credit Card Merchant Providers, it would be wise for a hotel to give you a discounted rate then being charged more for the same money.
At The Old West Inn, we have a few specials that help every guest of ours to get the best possible rate, one of which is a Cash Discount.
We offer a $5 off per room and per night for all the non-prepaid reservations on top of the direct booking discount. In a way, it would save up to $10-$15 every day.
One of the other discounts to find cheap hotels in Willits ca that we offer is Group Discount, for people traveling in a group or organizing a party or a get-together. In fact, most hotels would take pride in hosting get-togethers and give you a better deal directly.
And since not hotels are the same, try asking for AAA, AARP, Military or Veterans Discount. Some Hotels even offer profession discount. For individuals working for hospitals, government employees or even firefighters, there is always some discount that could apply to you.
Additionally, Google has made efforts to find the best rates possible. To find cheap hotels in Willits CA, simply Click Here.
Google will search across all the Hotel Booking websites to find you all the deals it can.
Groupon.com is also considered as one of the best resources for finding some local deals as the market for hotel industry has such a massive exposure. Deals for hotels are everywhere, once you make a little effort to making sure you get the best deals, the procedure becomes very convenient.
