Georgia Judiciary Committee Hears Allegations of Election Fraud
CONTRADICTING SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE, ELECTION OBSERVERS TESTIFY TO IRREGULARITIES IN NOV. 3 ELECTION, RECOUNTS, SIGNATURE AUDIT
Wednesday, December 30, 2020 Wednesday, December 30, 2020

Georgia Senate Judiciary Committee and its subcommittee on Elections
(Dec. 30, 2020) — Members of the Georgia Senate Judiciary Committee and a subcommittee are holding a hearing Wednesday morning with witness testimony on issues arising from the November 3 presidential election.
Livestreaming is available here.
After a witness of Cobb County ballot-counting during the election and two subsequent recounts expressed doubt about 298 military ballots she reported having observed as approximately "90% for Biden," a legislator countered with the "99.99%" accuracy report from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger after a signature audit was completed in the county.
At 11:50 a.m. ET, legislators played a video for a different witness who said she observed the "shredding" of ballots in Jim Miller Park on November 20 and that the video was one she took as it occurred.
Georgia law requires ballots to be maintained on file for "22 months," a lawmaker said following the witness's description of what she observed. As with the previous witness, she said she reported the issue to Raffensberger's office but received no response. She added that she reported the incident to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).
The same witness said that on the day Cobb County's vote was "certified," an incorrect number appeared on a placard for members of the public to ask election questions or file complaints.
A third witness who said she worked as an observer on Election Day said she would "cede to Rudy Giuliani at any time" and that Republicans were shut out of the ballot-counting process. She, too, said she reported ballot-"shredding" to 911 and the Board of Elections.
The GBI's oversight of Cobb County's signature audit was invalid, the woman said, her voice shaking with emotion as she faulted elected representatives for failing to take action on hers and others' allegations of election fraud.
She said that "In Jim Miller Park, you can't even take a phone in there now." Her passionate statement punctuating her testimony that she considers herself "a patriot" elicited a cheer from the audience.
At 12:09, the chairman called a five-minute recess.
Update, 3:00 p.m. ET: NTD has posted two videos from this morning's hearing here.

Can you trust the AP?
Lew Harper says:
What is there to trust?
The AP is citing Georgia election officials directly.
Isn't that what a news organization is suppose to do?
Yes, unless/until evidence surfaces to show they're lying. The AP has also been known to report erroneously and not correct. Check our archives for numerous examples.
Henry Wilson says:

So if a journalist knows a government official is lying, the journalist in the article should call the official a liar?

From the Industrial Revolution....
From the Industrial Revolution to the 'Green Revolution'
By Norry Wilson
Scotland once again is leading the way with ambitious new climate change targets.
Scotland's climate change targets, already among the toughest in the world, just got tougher – with an aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2045. That's five years ahead of the rest of the UK.
Scotland's current target, set in the Climate Change Act, is to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050 compared with benchmark levels from 1990. A new bill currently going through the Scottish Parliament aims to increase that target to 90%. But this will now be amended so MSPs can vote on the new target of net-zero by 2045.
Net-zero is the point where the same volume of greenhouse gases is being emitted as is being absorbed through offsetting techniques like forestry.
Policy change puts planet first
As part of that committment, the Scottish Government yesterday announced it is to scrap plans to reduce air departure tax by 50% before eventually abolishing it completely.
Finance Secretary Derek Mackay said reducing air departure tax - which will replace air passenger duty in Scotland - was "no longer compatible" with its climate targets.
"All parts of government and society have a contribution to make to meeting this challenge. We continue to support our tourism industry, which is going from strength to strength, and we will work with the sector to develop in a sustainable way. We welcome their efforts - and those of the aviation industry - to reduce carbon emissions".
'Climate emergency' declared
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) urged that Scotland set the new, more ambitious target. It came after a report to the UN last year urged the world to go "further and faster" in tackling climate change.
Two weeks ago, at the SNP party conference, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon declared a 'climate emergency' and vowed that Scotland wouldn't shirk its responsibilities to the wider world, and future generations.
Climate Change Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said:
"There is a global climate emergency and people across Scotland have been calling, rightly, for more ambition to tackle it and safeguard our planet for future generations. Having received independent, expert advice that even higher targets are now possible, and given the urgency required on this issue, I have acted immediately to set a target for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for 2045 which will see Scotland become carbon neutral by 2040".
Opportunities for Scotland
As well as doing good for the planet we all live on, the more stringent targets will also boost Scotland's economic prospects, as our academic and engineering expertise – coupled with our outstanding natural resources – provide excellent opportunities in the fields of green energy and carbon-capture technology.
For example, we're already home to the world's first floating offshore wind farm, called Hywind, situated of the north east coast, and Orkney is home to the world's largest tidal turbine and the world's first grid-connected wave and tidal test centre. We've also had an ambitious and innovative hydro-electric programme in place since way back in the 1950s.
The new targets balance our environmental, social and economic responsibilities and have the potential to create jobs and wealth across Scotland, creating new export and investment opportunities.
Scotland is already a world leader in sourcing its electricity from renewables, after a record year in 2017 for creating eco-friendly energy, figures show. The nation got more than two-thirds – 68.1%– of its electricity from green schemes in 2017 – an increase of 26% on the year before. The figure was a rise of 14.1 percentage points from the 54% reached in 2016.

So true, Janet. I'm constantly forgetting (why???) that it's the prayer of faith that is effective. When I whine and nag I'm not trusting. And trusting is the whole point. Not just to get answers, but to be in right relationship with Him. I think I've developed a habit of whining. At least it seems like I'm not enjoying the peace that true trust gives. Need to work on this one.
Ginny, I think we all circle around to this spot more often than we'd like. I just read a blog post this week at The High Calling: Bradley J. Moore's Accounting for Joy. The context is the workplace, but I think it applies everywhere.
Hugs back to you, my friend! You're good for me.
I was looking for some aspect of God to direct my worship today. The other day it was His holiness, thanks to Ginny's comment on another post. Today–I just learned in reading your comment here–it's His faithfulness. Something peaceful just settled in my spirit.

Motivation to Join the Marines Results in 150 Pound Weight Loss
August 21, 2016 /0 Comments/in Military, Military Blog
By Debbie Gregory.
Pvt. Richard Faler is not one to take "no" for an answer. Although he weighed in at 305 pounds, his family had a long military history, and he wasn't going to let his weight get in his way of serving his country.
So Faler began working out with his brother Christian, and the 21-year-old got his 5 feet 10 inch frame way down.
Now weighing 150 pounds, with boot camp behind him, Faler is on the road to becoming a defense message system specialist.
Despite his dramatic transformation, Faler said boot camp would've been a lot easier if he had been in better shape when he got there.
"Even though I, with the help of family and my recruiters, made the height-weight standards to ship to boot camp, I wish that I reached the fitness level of where I was midway through boot camp.
Growing up, Faler was active in several sports such as wrestling, baseball and soccer at West Central High School in Francesville, Indiana.
"My senior year of wrestling, I wrestled at 130 pounds," said Faler. "After high school, I doubled my weight and then some."
After high school, Faler got a job in a gas station.
Faler's grandparents served in the Air Force and Navy and he had several cousins in the Army. He made up his mind that he would join what he calls the "hardest" service: the Marine Corps.
Christian got his brother on a daily running routine, starting with the block around his house. They gradually increased the distance, and in just one year, he had shed 80 pounds.
Faler was in the Delayed Entry Program, but the physical training plan he received from his recruiter nearly made Faler give up.
"I could barely do any of it," Faler said. "At that point, I lost motivation when I realized after all that work I couldn't do anything."
But Christian pushed, offering to join the Marine Corps, too, if his brother could meet the standards.
Faler changed his eating habits, adding chicken and vegetables that were low in fat and high in protein."
Faler said he never could've met his goals without his brother and recruiters motivating him along the way.
"A lot of people told me I couldn't do it," Faler said. "Just proving them wrong was the best feeling."

On Monday, March 6, 2017, Attorney Joseph Tamburino was featured on WCCO-TV (CBS Minnesota affiliate news outlet), discussing the pending case of Diamond Reynolds, 27. She and two other women face felony charges in Ramsey District Court, derived from an assault where a woman was beaten with a hammer last week.
Reynolds is known as the woman who live-streamed the aftermath of the PhilandoCastile shooting. Ramsey County District Judge Thomas Gilligan, Jr. said the charges Reynolds faces are serious.
According to the criminal complaint, Reynolds and two other women are accused of attacking another woman, with Reynolds striking her with a dangerous weapon. The case is currently being handled by the Washington County Attorney's Office since a conflict of interest may be present with Ramsey County's criminal case against St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez, who shot and killed Castile during that traffic stop.
Our Minneapolis criminal defense lawyer is not connected with this case. He informs WCCO-TV that Reynolds' current case may affect the outcome of the Yanez case.
However, if Reynolds is not convicted, Tamburino says the defense cannot challenge her testimony.
Reynolds requested to be released without bail, stating she needed to help her five-year-old daughter, who also witnessed the Castile shooting. In the end, the judge set bail at $40,000.
Reynolds' attorney Michael Padden stated that his client has no involvement with the assault. Her next court appearance is set for April 3rd.
If you were recently arrested for a criminal offense in Minnesota, request a free consultation with our Minneapolis criminal defense lawyer at Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm, P.A. today. Have more than 100 years of combined legal experience on your side!


GOG is giving away free copies of Shadow Warrior 2 for the next 46 hours. All PC gamers have to do is head over at the game's GOG store page and acquire their free copy. And that's it; this fun first-person shooter will be then theirs forever.
Thank you for the heads up , downloading now to test and see how it looks like in HDR.
I grabbed it but it crashed my system with some horrendous noises in my poor headset. Totally locked up my system. I only got to difficulty settings before it went screwy.
Maybe it's because i by-passed Galaxy and went straight to the Shadow Warrior 2 .exe to try play it? might give it another try later as i like the humor and gameplay from this series.
Not sure, but actually, don't they make sure you don't need DRM or a connection as part of their whole deal behind GOG, so bypassing Galaxy shouldn't be an issue I think.
Maybe but i find with a lot of free games that there's still some unresolved issues floating about that will probably never be fixed. I went back to Rocket League after it crashed my system and gamed for about 3 hours straight all temps and stuff normal.
You have to install Galaxy to be able to download games from Gog but as for whether or not you have all the latest patches and stuff then of course you need to be online through Galaxy to check. I did some reading and some people say it's fine just to run the .exe while others say you need to run games through Galaxy.
I grabbed the game Yesterday.
You have to install Galaxy to be able to download games from Gog but as for whether or not you have all the latest patches and stuff then of course you need to be online through Galaxy to check. I did some reading and some people say it's fine just to run the .exe while others say you need to run games through Galaxy. I was able to download games with out galaxy using by downloading the offline installer files and the GOG downloader.
I really enjoyed this game! Flying Wild Hog brings great originality to their games.
I can't figure out how to get it. Maybe I'm just really stupid or something, but the game is $40 ion the cart.
It looks like the free giveaway has ended.

Finding Happiness – India unhappiest country among its neighbours.
Finland is the happiest country in the world while India is all the way down behind Pakistan and Nepal, according to the World Happiness Report released on Wednesday. While Nepal and Bangladesh ranked 101st and 115th respectively, India stands at 133rd position in the list of 156 countries. As India slipped 11 places from 122nd in 2017, Pakistan moved 5 places up to be at 75th rank in the world happiness meter.
Finland, which was ranked 5th in 2017, displaced Norway to be the world's happiest country. Norway dropped to 2nd position in the index. The United States, which was ranked 14th last year, dropped four places to be at 18th position, while the United Kingdom was ranked 20th respectively. The 2018 report is the sixth in the series and India's performance has been deteriorating every year. India was ranked 118th in 2016, 122nd in 2017 and is now at 133rd. The country's performance is the worst in SAARC with exception of war-torn Afghanistan which is ranked at 145th.
India's GDP growth has been affected by demonetisation and GST. This along with India's huge population could be a factor for a low GDP per capita. India's health is in shambles. 219 children died in one month at one hospital in Gorakhpur is an evidence of the poor state of medical facilities. Over 5 crore people in India suffer from depression- a major contributor to suicides. With bans being imposed on what to eat, what to watch or whom to marry , it is no surprise that we may have had poor score on the freedom to make life choices. People are becoming self-eccentric and lack of social support in times of crisis is a cause of unhappiness.
It seems Indians aren't too happy afterall. May be the "ACCHE DIN" haven't arrived just yet.

Thursday, November 16, 2017 | Last updated about 4 hours ago
The former Ben's Place premises in Grange Road, Uckfield, which will be opened as an Indian restaurant in December,
New restaurant to open in Uckfield
A new restaurant is due to open in Uckfield next month. It will be Indian but with a difference, according to the owners.
Lauren Ahmed said that during the day the restaurant in the former Ben's Place premises in Grange Road would have a street food menu offering traditional foods from India and Bangladesh.
And there would be an Indian/Bangladesh take on afternoon tea with Indian savoury dishes, such as chicken tikka, offered instead of egg mayonnaise sandwiches.
Lauren, who is opening the restaurant with her husband Towfique said they would still do scones because she loves them. "They are my favourite part of afternoon tea. There will be petit fours too with more traditional flavours such as cardamom."
Decorators are working in the premises at the moment and furniture is on order and it is hoped the restaurant will open on Tuesday, December 5.
Lauren says Towfique is currently operations manager in a hotel and has worked in a variety of hotels and Indian restaurants over the last ten to 14 years.
Most recently Lauren has worked in retail sales but she has also worked in hotels – the couple met working in a hotel – and they both helped an uncle of Towfique's when he opened an Indian takeaway a couple of years ago.
The Ahmeds live in Haywards Heath and only visited Uckfield for the first time when Lauren's mother, Pauline Poggo moved here two years ago.
Lauren added: "Neither of us had been to the town before then and now we think it is a great. We love it and will probably move there once we get the restaurant going."
Towfique is originally from Bangladesh, he came to England in 2005, while Lauren grew up in Reigate.
Lauren is currently off work on maternity leave. She had her first baby, Amira, in January.
The couple have been talking about opening their own restaurant for a long time and had looked at the former Pepper Dining in Uckfield when it was available.
That didn't work out but Steve Campbell from Lawson Commercial said another property was coming on to the market so they held on until they were sent details of Loxford Chambers at 144a Grange Road.
Lauren said: "We loved it, thought it was great, so different, not like any other premises. We are very excited about opening and the timing is perfect for us."
• Contact details for Lawson Commercial, who let these premises, are available 24/7 in our Uckfield Directory. Look for the name or search in categories for Commercial Estate Agents or Commercial Property Management.

Why You Never Heard of Noble Drew Ali and His Push to Instil Pride in the Africans in America and Beyond?
Noble Drew Ali, born as Timothy Drew, came into this world on January 8, 1886, in the state of North Carolina. Many of his followers believe that he was the orphaned son of two ex-slaves who was raised by the Cherokee. However, others feel that his father was a man by the name of John A. Drew, a political and military leader for the Cherokee tribe. While the facts about his early life are not certain, we do know that he grew up to become one of the most successful religious leaders in United States history.
During his travels as a merchant seaman, Ali met an Egyptian magic priest and started to receive spiritual training. The priest not only trained Ali into mysticism but also gave him a lost part of the Quran, which is now known as the Holy Koran of the Moorish Science Temple of America. When Ali came back to the United States, he decided to leave his merchant seaman occupation and put his spiritual training and beliefs to use. He opened the Canaanite Temple in Newark in 1913. Unfortunately, Ali angered some of the residents with his views on race, so he left that area and moved on to other areas of the east coast. Many of Ali's followers came with him on his journey with some settling in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Detroit, where they opened congregations.
During the 1920s, the religious movement spread into the Midwest as the temples came to be called the Moorish Holy Temple of Science. Ali used this movement to install his racial beliefs into people that they should be proud of the African race, their culture, and where they came from. In 1925, Ali planted himself in Chicago, Illinois, where he began to preach on the streets. Soon, huge crows stopped to list to Ali's words of how the people of North America need to let go of their hate towards those of the African race.
In 1928, The Moorish Science Temple of America, Inc. was officially established. Many people feel that Ali changed the name of the temple so many times because he felt the name needed to be changed as the organization grew and beliefs evolved. As with the new name came new laws and charter, which were to be followed. However, the mission generally stayed the same no matter what the organization was called. The mission was to change the negative thoughts and feelings that humanity had against each other. The organization stated this would be possible through teaching people how to act as better human beings.
The Moorish Science Temple of America movement is still alive and well today. In fact, the members of the congregations, which are settled throughout the United States, still teach what Ali preached for decades.
Ali passed away on July 20, 1929, at the age of 43 in his Chicago residence. While his death certificate stated that he died from pneumonia, not everyone is convinced. Many of his followers then and now believe that he died due to injuries he received while he was in jail on suspicion of murder. While the charges were dropped, Ali died shortly after his release, with members of his congregation stating that he laid his head on a fellow member and passed out and that he was not ill when he died. His congregation made sure Ali received a beautiful service in Chicago with hundreds of people in attendance.


Until now Motorola has the only company to sell a smartphone packed with a massive battery and joining them is Lenovo with its new smartphone. This new device is called the Lenovo P770, it is an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean based device which packs a 3,500 mAh battery.
While the Lenovo P770 is not has sleek as the Motorola RAZR MAXX HD, the device sports a 4.5-inch qHD IPS display and is powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex A9 processor along with 1GB of RAM.
The Lenovo P770 is rated to provide up to 29 hours of continuous talk time and standby time of nearly a month. Additional to the huge battery are three different power saving modes which includes; long standby, normal and custom.

Omargeddon #23: The Apocalypse Inside of an Orange
Bec • FT • Post a comment • 149 views
I've been especially drawn to instrumentals of late; I'm certain that this is because I haven't worked in an open-plan office for well over a year and can easily listen to music uninterrupted for nearly the whole of my working day. Lyrics mean way too much to me to ditch them entirely from the hours of 9-5, but I have found that it's often easier to concentrate with instrumental music in the background, because I'm not being distracted by poetics.
The key to an optimal WFH soundtrack is a very specific kind of aural wallpaper. Too minimal gets lost among the near constant lawn-mowing, leaf-blowing and hedge-trimming present on my street. Anything intensely vociferous negatively affects my attention span. What I require is the perfect William Morris print that balances variety with repetitious symmetry.
My search for the ideal ORL instrumental album led me to The Apocalypse Inside of an Orange. It's the only one credited to the Omar Rodríguez-López Quintet – basically a severely cut-back Mars Volta lineup sans Cedric Bixler-Zavala and with the addition of Money Mark on keyboards. It's the third instalment of the Amsterdam series of albums written and recorded in 2005 when ORL lived in that city, an interesting collection that includes his first-ever solo record, Omar Rodriguez, and Despair, among others.

Atlantic Slices
At the time of publishing, the winter swells are still bombarding Europe's infamous big wave spot, Nazaré. Welsh big wave rider Glyn Ovens has spent the season there, putting foiling front-and-center when the North Atlantic monsters roll in…
Words: Glyn Ovens
Photos: Miguel Chaby
The alarm went off at 5am. Ugh, I hate early mornings… except when on a surf mission, then it's a lot easier.
João de Macedo was supposed to be meeting me at 5:30am so we could drive to Nazaré together. A message comes in at 5:26… it's João. "Hey Glyn, bom dia, any way you can boil some eggs for us?". He sounded tired.
"Boiled eggs?" I thought. Really? I battled with myself whether to bother, but in the end I decided that, as I was barely awake still, I was in no position to think too hard on this. So I dutifully boiled some eggs and then put them in a little waterproof box for later.
João de Macedo is a very good friend of mine, and we are each other's equal in "shooting the breeze", "chewing the cud" and generally putting the world to rights, which is our normal routine on our Nazaré commute. He also happens to be a ridiculous hell-man surfer with worldwide notoriety. I have witnessed some immense moments involving this man, gritting his teeth and paddling into waves that humans have no right to be anywhere near. This is why he had been a regular on the Big Wave World Tour.
A little later (Covid and many other topics of discussion having been thoroughly thrashed within an inch of their lives) we arrive in Nazaré harbor, greet the night watchman at the gate with some shakas and some inappropriate banter (all banter is supposed to be inappropriate, if you're doing it right), then straight to 'The Hangar' to set up the equipment.
João was going to paddle into some waves on his 9'8 gun, so he got that ready; waxed and checked. Meanwhile I built my trusty steed. The ski was already on the dock, fueled and good to go. At the docks we were met by all the familiar faces of the tight and committed crew associated with this notorious spot (who each go through their own rituals to get to this point). We dropped the ski off the dock and within a short ride out we were in the line-up.
The swell was 'decent' (above 8m), a good angle and enough period to make the wedges stand up. There was a good crew of paddle guys hunting down some bombs, so it was João to surf first (no need to start flying through the crew already there, you know the names). I would run safety for him whilst he paddled, then we would swap and he would tow me into some 'Atlantic slices', hopefully as the crowd thinned. João caught some bombs, then got smashed to the beach…. Session done for Senior Macedo.
I picked him up from (almost) the sand and we headed offshore to unpack my foil and get everything setup. "Don't forget the eggs!" Eggs? Oh, yes, the boiled eggs. They tasted so good now, but at 5:30 that morning, there was no way I would have thought they would have been this delicious… thus described as "little packets of goodness".
I have been using some very interesting single piece foils, of which I had been testing on some smaller days, but this was the first day to get stuck into something a little more meaty. The trepidation was real, the froth was off the scale. João towed me around for a couple of loops and glides on some outer swells, feeling out the kit and settling into the straps. Then we went hunting!
The wave comes down the canyon then swings north, creating a swell that is at a different angle to the beach. This is what I am always looking for: the bowls. The wave in question stood up, way outside of the rest of the crew, with a horse-shoe wedge on it… going so fast, weight forward, keeping the foil in water – falling at that speed is a terrible idea, one to be avoided, but inevitably it happens. We've talked about that before in this very magazine.
João was on point, his paddle session had allowed him to tune into the swell and now he was capitalizing (as was I): picking the right approach and the best waves of each set, I just had to do it justice, let go of the rope, and fly. Each wave felt like everything before had led to that singular point in time. This is the addiction: the tangible improvements.
With the sun still beating down on us, we broke off to refuel ourselves and the equipment. Back in the harbor, we sat outside in the sun at the little cafe, Dona-Lena's; still in our wetsuits, eating 'Bifanas' (Dona Lena's is part of our ritual and we never miss going there).
Refuelled, I was ready to get back out there. João was feeling it too.
The sun was a little lower but the waves were still firing. On days like these you are glad of your training and fitness, to capitalize on the swell and conditions. The tide was a little lower and the peaks were standing up a little further out. With the right amount of speed you could connect multiple peaks on the same ride. I had made a couple of nice connections but only on smaller waves, but then, a bigger set showed up. João was on point, towed me further out, spun around and whipped me in.
As I was dropping down the peak ready to turn and drive towards the next one, I hit something, breached or just lost control. It happened so fast I have no idea what was going on. My footstraps aren't set too tight, allowing me to make a clean getaway from the kit. But that was the least of my worries. Now I was skipping down the face with a large shadow growing over me: the shadow of the lip. Finally, after what felt like an age, I penetrated the water and prepared for the weightlessness of being sucked over the falls… I started to get sucked up and I came out the back of the wave. Amazingly my board was there too, but I thought that it was the first and last I would see of it for a while. What did the temptress Nazaré have left in store me? On this occasion, nothing. She let me go… now I was in her debt!
That was the warning shot across the bow, the 'quit while you're ahead'. João called it and he was spot on. With all the adrenaline pumping, you have to listen to your teammate. They will usually have a broader vision than the frothing foiler who has just been doing 40mph over the water. Knowing when to stop is the hardest thing until the moment has passed and all you are left with is hindsight.
We are still looking, pushing, and seeing what is possible. Like most people into foiling, whatever the discipline or nuance, it keeps offering more and more…

'Specialty Tea.' must be defined to establish value and give meaning to the term.
November 2013 was the tenth anniversary of my tea blog. When I first started the idea of blogging was relatively new. There were just a few political blogs, and many of these were focused on reporting.
Since the middle of May I have been on the road, traveling in China, the US, and Europe, and for Zhuping it was three months in China. Finally we are enjoying our sanctuary in Tucson, with a lot of welcome home cooked meals.
TUCSON, AZ – Travel + Leisure's tea fanatic Bruce Schoenfeld first tasted da hong pao, a rare Chinese oolong tea, at Seven Cups Teahouse in Tucson, where Austin Hodge serves teas he sources in remote regions of China.
We were visited today by Carol Ann Savage, one of the founders of the Tea Guild of Canada. She brought some great chocolate with her. They are single origin chocolates made by Soma Chocolate's in Toronto. The source the cocoa beans themselves.

Add the mushrooms to the fat left in the pan. Season with the thyme and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and cook, letting the mushrooms release their juices, about 3 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to high and cook until the liquid in the pan is gone and the mushrooms are browned all over, about 6 minutes. Add the scallions, and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Scrape the contents of the pan into a large serving bowl, and let cool 5 minutes.
Once the mushrooms are slightly cool, add the frisée and the reserved pancetta, and drizzle with the vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and toss well. Mound on serving plates and, using a vegetable peeler, shave some Grana Padano over each serving. Serve immediately.

ACCEL: What to Do for the Patient Without Surgical Options?
ACC News Story
Take-aways
The importance of shared decision-making in advanced HF cannot be overstated given the complex myriad of treatment options that confront patients, families, and caregivers.
Shared decision-making incorporates the perspective of the patient, who is responsible for articulating goals, values, and preferences as they relate to his or her health care.
Shared decision-making incorporates the perspective of the clinician, who is responsible for narrowing the diagnostic and treatment options to those that are medically reasonable.
Heart failure (HF) affects 2.4% of the adult population and over 11% of the expanding population is more than 80 years old. Existing therapies slow, but infrequently reverse, disease progression. As a result, the prevalence of symptomatic HF has increased, including a prolongation of the advanced phase of the disease.
Progression of HF is difficult to predict, as patients may have periods in which they are stable, followed by intervals of illness, after which they improve but to a level likely lower than baseline. Nevertheless, as the disease progresses, a subset of patients will develop persistently severe symptoms despite maximum guidelines-directed medical therapy (GDMT). Various terminologies have been used to describe this group of patients who are classified as having ACCF/AHA stage D HF; the most common terms are "advanced HF," "end-stage HF," and "refractory HF."
Within this group, patients for whom the advanced options of mechanical support (ventricular assist devices) and heart transplantation are not offered—usually due to age, comorbidities, or other factors—are considered for palliative care. Of course, the principles of palliative care apply throughout the continuum of HF, but when all other options are gone, palliative care becomes the best therapy.
The 2013 ACCF/AHA guidelines acknowledge the challenge of determining when a patient has moved into stage D HF.1 The new guidelines include clinical clues that may assist clinicians in identifying patients who are progressing toward advanced HF.
The Importance of Shared Decision-Making
Kathleen L. Grady, PhD, APN, is the administrative director of the Center for Heart Failure at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. She was co-chair of the committee that recently produced a scientific statement from the AHA on decision-making in advanced HF.2
She and her colleagues emphasized that the importance of shared decision-making in advanced HF "cannot be overstated given the complex myriad of treatment options that confront patients, families, and caregivers. We have offered a roadmap for when and how to have conversations with patients to support shared decision-making."
This process must occur in the context of uncertainties in prognosis, multiple and often competing outcomes, and barriers to communication. Although the promotion of shared decision-making may seem daunting to busy practicing clinicians, the authors attempted to provide guiding principles and simple tools that can help set future expectations, anticipate major decisions, and promote productive conversations.
Values, Goals, and Preferences
According to the scientific statement, shared decision-making is a process through which clinicians and patients share information with each other and work toward decisions about treatment that are chosen from medically reasonable options aligned with patient values, goals, and preferences. Ideally, it's an iterative process that evolves over time as a patient's disease and quality of life change.
Thus, attention to the clinical trajectory is required to calibrate expectations and guide timely decisions. Yet, prognostic uncertainty is inevitable and should be acknowledged in discussions with patients and families.
Palliative care is crucial and requires an interdisciplinary team approach to optimize symptom management and quality of life. It does not necessarily exclude any medical therapy and should take into account physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs, and patient/family preferences.
The focus of the palliative approach in HF is symptom relief with particular attention paid to dyspnea, agitation, and pain. However, in the setting of Stage D HF, the optimal approaches to lessen these symptoms as well as other components of palliative management have not been rigorously studied; there are no large randomized controlled trials or observational studies to guide the clinician, meaning there is no recommendation in the 2013 ACCF/AHA HF guidelines based on Level A evidence.
Still, as Dr. Grady pointed out at the 2012 AHA Scientific Sessions, good palliative care has been shown to lead to better quality of life, lower rates of depression, and even greater survival despite patients receiving less aggressive end-of-life care.
In a 2012 snapshot of the United States, the Center to Advance Palliative Care reported that during the last 10 years palliative care has been one of the fastest growing trends in health care. The number of palliative care teams within hospital settings has increased approximately 148%, from more than 600 in 2000 to more than 1,600 today. Yet, they group notes recent studies show that most people living with a serious illness experience inadequately treated symptoms, fragmented care, poor communication with their doctors, and enormous strains on their family caregivers.
1 in 4 patients report inadequate treatment of pain and shortness of breath.
1 in 3 families report inadequate emotional support.
1 in 3 patients report that they receive no education on how to treat their pain and other symptoms following a hospital stay.
1 in 3 patients are not provided with arrangements for follow-up care after hospital discharge.
Admittedly, the Scientific Statement by Dr. Grady and colleagues finds the role of palliative care in patients with advanced HF has been far less developed than in cancer and further work to document the synergistic effect of adding palliative care to the clinical care of patients with advanced HF is needed. Until then, the authors said, the statement is a "call to action," not only to clinicians directly responsible for facilitating shared decision-making but also to those on a national level who would reform and restructure the healthcare medical system to truly support patient-centered care.

Alfred Kipketer (né le ) est un athlète kényan, spécialiste du 800 mètres.

Do you know...?
150 schools and counting!
The number of schools participating in the DTiF project has reached 150 – we're almost at our 160 schools target!
By the end of November, the DTiF introductory workshops had been rolled out across Australia – from the first workshop in Hobart, to the last one in the Top End. Julie King, DTiF Project Lead, has travelled around the country delivering the introductory workshops with each of the local Curriculum Officers.
Workshops were held in Hobart, Charleville, Toowoomba, Burnie, Townsville, Port Lincoln, Kalgoorlie, Perth, Geraldton, Mooroopna, Ballarat, Lismore, Coffs Harbour, Cairns, Newcastle, Parramatta, Armidale, Gunnedah, Parkes, Dubbo, Albury, Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin.

DTiF: Schools in action
Going for a hole in one on King Island
By Peter Lelong
King Island, with a population of under 2,000, is a remarkable island in the midst of Bass Strait, famous for its agricultural products, particularly cheese and beef. The island, though, is often not thought of as an aspiring hub for technological innovation. Students and teachers at the King Island District High School are commencing their journey to build knowledge and skills in the use of a range of digital technologies.
With the leadership of Principal, Ben Murfet, and Assistant Principal, Phil Holbrook, the staff recently joined the Digital Technologies in focus project and registered in the Computer Science Education Research Group, University of Adelaide (CSER) Digital Technologies Massively Open Online Course (MOOC). The school, based in Currie with a population of nearly 190 F–10 students, is looking to build a program that develops innovation and creativity in the use of digital technologies.
The King Island project focuses on providing options and opportunities for students to stay on the island after school, to contribute to the community and to further the already flourishing local industries. The aim is to provide students with an awareness that the technologies they learn to use in school may be applied on a farm, in a tourism context or a golf links development.
To facilitate an understanding of the importance of digital literacy at King Island, students and their teachers have designed a golf hole at the school. Using drones, 3D printers and Lego robotics, the students are simulating how to design and project-manage an innovative solution. For example, a drone was used to provide an aerial image of the geographical landform, which assisted in choosing the most appropriate site for a golf hole.
The students have also been experimenting with different designs for digging blades to be printed on a 3D printer and tested in the school's robotics room, using Lego EV3 robotics. Another challenge for the students might be to imagine and prototype a driverless mower using robotics and coding.
The school has plans to keep engaging with local farming and fishing communities to show the students how important digital technologies are across many areas of the island life.
Principal, Ben Murfet, has a clear vision on how he wants to build his school community:
"From the day I arrived on King Island, I have been looking to provide authentic learning opportunities that enable students to succeed in their chosen career path, whether that be on King Island or anywhere in the world. I want our students to achieve a balanced education, where we value outdoor play and love real experiences at the beach or in the backyard playing cricket. At the same time, I want our students to be aware of the essential skills required in the 21st century and be well-equipped to succeed in a fast-paced digital world. I want our students to be equally skilled in verbal communication, in catching a fish, in producing sophisticated code to create an entrepreneurial adventure.
"There is a clear desire to implement the Digital Technologies curriculum over the next three years across all year levels and I look forward to working with the schools in the Tasmanian clusters of north-west Tasmania and Hobart," said Mr Murfet.

On the road to Cherbourg and Murgon
By Sarah Hobson
Year 4 students from Cherbourg State School are taking the Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge
In June 2017, schools in the Barambah area of south-west Queensland participated in one of the first introductory workshops for the Digital Technologies in focus project. After the workshop, the schools began work on their project proposals. Their project ideas were shared via the progress report webinar and plans were made to visit the schools to learn more about them. Getting to know the school situation, the school executive and teachers involved in the project was an important first step in supporting staff as they plan the implementation of the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies.
Cherbourg State School
The visit to Cherbourg State School was warm and friendly, and both students and staff were very welcoming. Vanessa Boal, Head of Curriculum, introduced me to some of the unique programs running at the school, including an on-site kindergarten and a cultural knowledge centre for students to learn the Indigenous languages, Wakka Wakka and Kubi Kubi (also known as Gubbi Gubbi).
With the support of local language speakers, cultural teacher Marilyn Huddleston works with Year 6 students to help them learn a language. She explained how the Miromaa computer program was used to capture words and phrases both from texts and audio recordings of elders.
Nicole Greenwood and Rechelle Marshall, members of the school's DTiF project team, are doing amazing work with their students in Years 2, 3 and 4. I worked with the teachers to assist with student participation in the Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge. Vanessa and I assisted the students to interpret the questions so the students could work in teams and solve the problems. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, as the students had not encountered computational thinking challenges before. The data and lessons learnt are being recorded as baseline data and observations for the project.
Learn more about the Bebras Australia Computational Thinking Challenge. The website has information on the twice-yearly challenge and has a section called Bebras365, which contains a series of computational thinking questions for teachers and students to work with.
Murgon State School
I also visited Murgon State School and spent a day with Carmen Godbaz who is leading the project for the school. Carmen shared how she teaches the Digital Technologies curriculum to her students. It was great to see Carmen at work as she taught Year 3 students how to create drum kits using the Scratch programming language. Most of the students had not encountered visual programming before the lesson – and they were excited seeing their projects come together.
Carmen told me about plans for their project. These involved gathering data on local tourism, programming drones to capture local landmarks, and then sharing the information, using augmented reality, with tourists along the newly established South Burnett Rail Trail.
At lunch time, I attended the drone club. It was great to see the joy on students' faces as they learnt to manoeuvre the drones. Two Year 5/6 students, who are creating robotic solutions repurposing reclaimed pieces from old robotics kits, showed their enthusiasm as they shared their working prototypes. It is great to see a primary school driving change in their local area and showing leadership through their Digital Technologies activities!
I am planning to visit the Barambah cluster again, to run information sessions on the Digital Technologies curriculum to schools.

Have you seen… ACARA's Curriculum connections resources?
Curriculum connections provide you with ideas about how to make connections across learning areas. There are currently Curriculum connections for: food and fibre production food and wellbeing consumer and financial literacy outdoor learning.
Keep an eye out for new connections in 2018.
Do you know... the difference between virtual and augmented reality?
Virtual reality is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that appears to the user wearing special electronic headsets to be real.
Augmented reality superimposes a computer-generated image or information onto a real-world object or view, thus providing a layer of information not apparent in real life.

Welcome to The Bridge Academy website! Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site and learn more about our school. I am confident you will be impressed!
The Bridge Academy is designed to effectively help students "bridge the gap between their potential and performance." Our school is well known and respected for its unique ability to remediate student weaknesses, encourage independent learning strategies, and help maximize academic potential. Students come to our multiple building campus for individualized education, tailored to students with diagnosed learning disabilities such as dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, and attention deficit disorder. Our students are of average to above average intelligence, but thrive and learn best in a more accommodating and nurturing educational setting. Our educational expertise brings students from over 32 different school districts throughout the state of New Jersey and Pennsylvania to access our resources.
The Bridge Academy is the only Orton-Gillingham accredited school in New Jersey and only one in 15 in the United States. This multi-sensory teaching approach, coupled with our low student-teacher ratio of 3:1, helps ensure that the student's learning potential will be maximized. Our curriculum parallels that of New Jersey's public schools, but the small classes, hands-on techniques, and directly taught organization and study skills help ensure that our students succeed. A hallmark of The Bridge Academy is the commitment, collegiality, and depth of knowledge of the staff and faculty. The teachers consistently show sensitivity and understanding to our students as they learn together.
You'll find The Bridge Academy to be a student centered, academically challenging school with clear expectations and learning foundations. Our teachers take full advantage of our wooded property and stream to design authentic learning experiences for the students. We provide the right environment where students can relax, feel comfortable to take academic risks, and learn. We celebrate each child's talents, successes, and build upon a strong community that includes students, parents, family members, child study team members and professionals.
I encourage you to see our school in action by attending an Open House or visiting the school. You will agree The Bridge Academy is helping students to bridge the gap between their potential and performance.

New Features: Patient-Specific and Spanish Appointment Reminders
By RevenueWell
Sending appointment reminders through RevenueWell has gotten even better thanks to two significant enhancements.
RevenueWell has made two significant enhancements to its appointment reminders feature: patient-specific reminders and Spanish appointment reminders. As result, practices can now connect on an even deeper level with their unique patient bases.
Here's a closer look at these two new features.
Patient-Specific Appointment Reminders
No two people are alike.
Some folks love over-communication. They appreciate a string of reminder text messages, emails, and phone calls. These extra appointment reminders present structure.
Other people are one-and-done. They schedule an appointment during a visit, add it to their calendar, and are a mortal lock to return in six months. For them, a series of appointment reminders are not only unnecessary, they're annoying.
With patient-specific appointment reminders, practices can now tailor their communications to a patient's preferences. If a patient feels like they get too many reminders, the practice can peel back communications without completely turning the valve off.
This enhancement eliminates the all-or-nothing component to patient communications. Practices can decide which (if any) of the following reminders a patient will receive: save the date, postcard reminder, first, second and same-day reminders.
For a more detailed look at how to enable patient-specific reminders, check out this article in the RevenueWell Help Center.
Spanish Language Appointment Reminders
We've just laid out how there's no one-size-fits-all solution for patients. Their preferences vary too much to put them all in a single box. Just as it is with the amount of messages received, preferences also extend into languages.
With RevenueWell's Spanish appointment reminders feature, practices can better engage with one of the country's largest demographics.
Spanish reminders remove one more barrier to entry, making it even easier to get patients back in for their scheduled appointments. Practices also create better rapport with patients who feel more comfortable speaking Spanish than English.
Using this new feature, practices can tag patients with a preferred language of Spanish. Reminders sent to that patient will then default to Spanish rather than English. Currently, save the date, first, second, and same-day reminders are available in Spanish.
For more on how to use Spanish reminders with email, check out this article in the RevenueWell Help Center. Practices can also send Spanish reminders via text message. Learn how to enable Spanish text messages at the RevenueWell Help Center.

French To English Translator: How Much Is Translation?
French to English translator is something that should be added to the budget for a number of companies – if it is something that you feel would benefit your bottom line. The price of a translator will depend on a number of factors, and getting a fixed price quote is always the best option if possible.
Professional translation work is typically priced on a 'per word' basis. This can different from language to language, depending on the complexity. Mandarin or Arabic, for example, is more difficult than Spanish or French to English translation, and may well cost more. There many also be additional costs to consider that your language translator will need to add on to your quote. These extra costs can be for other tools that might be required (such as multilingual desktop publishing), or perhaps for a job that needs to be completed in an urgent manner. It could also even depend on what type of document is being translated. For some, a scientific or medical document will cost more than a standard website translation. The answer, then, to the question of how much translation costs is that it really does depend, which is why a fixed price quote is so important. There are many different aspects of your translation job that can influence the final price, and this needs to be discussed with your chosen translation expert before work can begin. Don't forget that for multiple projects there might be the option of paying in instalments, or even of a reduced rate for bulk bookings.
