Question: How to use the ice-maker?

If you have a manual one, please follow the steps of “manual”.

Automatic :

 Background: when end user want to clean the ice crushed box or check if there is ice in box, he/she should dismantle and install the ice crushed box. Some end users claim that it’s difficult to remove.

 Reason analysis:

To make the ice crushed box fix on cabinet tightly, there is two grooves (Picture 1) on left and right side to match the flange (Picture 2).

 There are two types of ice crushed box as below two pictures showing.

1, See below picture 3: step 1, lift up from bottom till the top of box touch the cabinet slight.

   Step 2: pull the box out and make the box touch the cabinet slight.

2, See below picture 4: same method as above. The difference is left hand catch the top and right and catch the bottom.

1, When users clean the ice crushed box, don’t make the arm touch the hard board to avoid the arm deformation. (see picture 5)

2, When installing, the crushed motor rotator (picture 7) should match with crushed box knob. (Picture 6) otherwise, the box cannot be installed properly.

3, When installing, the arm of crushed box should insert into hole of crushed motor. (Picture 8) otherwise, there would be no

    ice cube out.

Samsung are beginning to establish a reputation as a leading phone manufacturer on the back of the good results of the hugely well-known Galaxy S model. Subsequent we can adjust the blue corner pins to get the precise piece of the terrain we wish to import into our model and hit the leading proper Grab button. You cannot locate the money to chill out and also wait for the future opportunity as you have to post them or your challengers takes in excess of. From the highly competitive design and style organization, a specialists Model Management Organization represents a important goal to assist ‘market’ an person as a particular manufacturer in the very best way attainable.

A match model operates as a sort of reside mannequin to give designers and pattern makers feedback on the match, feel, movement, and drape of a garment to be created in a given size. Call forward to locate out what type of model they are seeking for and regardless of whether you need to have to formulate special preparing, such as bringing props for a photograph shoot. In today’s rapidly paced business life, the development of enterprise can sink or swim based on the innovation organization model example. Modeling is very best interpreted not as a collection of isolated subjects but rather in relation to other standards.

These Speakers are specifically deigned only for this BMW 3 Series (E46).These speakers produce high top quality surround sound and furthermore it is to easy to plug and play. ECOTEC exclusive combi boilers are developed for the residences with 3 or 4 bedrooms and 1 or 2 bathrooms and a suite. As modeling is becoming more and more regionalized, it is needed to be informed about both the international and regional trends in the field. Model trains can be sold on the web as properly as offline and there are several takers for it. If this hobby interests you then you should know few items just before you work on the 1st project. There can be no such idea as a 1 business model example to serve all firms due to the fact no two firms are the very same.

With the advent of Web 2. user-generated websites, several Teen Models are finding it significantly less difficult to get noticed and present their On-line Model Portfolios. Commence as a teen model or even just before, go to the records to make use of books or videos about the skill of fashion modeling.

This course protects predictive modeling employing SAS/STAT application with concentrate on the LOGISTIC process.

It is as a result advised for wedding photographers to set printing devices and image file profiles to the CMYK definition when working for the final photography output. Modeling Agencies are useful in the modeling sector simply because they assist in: education the models, laying out portfolios, aid the models in obtaining test shoots, putting together comp cards and various types of printed materials that the model may want. You can overlook about having any genuine achievement as a fitness model if you don’t market and network your self properly. The original Galaxy gave a pretty solid foundation for this model to build upon, but Samsung have surpassed themselves with a phone that performs beyond expectations. Identical point is also applied on you if you are willing to grow to be a internet cam modeling agent.

All charter parties are bilateral contracts?

All charter parties are bilateral contracts, that is, they are agreed to by both parties – the owners and the charterers – but it is important to realise that it is extremely rare for both parties to agree to be mutually bound by a blank form of charter party without any amendments. Many owners and charterers frequently use ‘proforma contracts’ as the basis for future negotiations, i.e. previous fixtures which had been negotiated and all their terms agreed upon, so that a new negotiation would only have to require agreement on basic relevant changes such as rates of freight and demurrage or hire, lay/can dates, vessel’s description (unless the same vessel is carrying the next cargo), cargo’s description and quantity.

Spring/Summer Nail Picks

I love Spring when it comes to my nails, I am all about pastel shades at the moment as well as some fun designs! These are some of my top recommendations and favourites at the moment and I think I have a few different bases covered from pretty pastels to come fun peach glittery stick-on nails.
Spring/Summer Nail Picks
Spring/Summer Nail Picks Spring/Summer Nail Picks
Barry M launched the Molten Metals collection in the last couple of months and one shade I knew I needed in my collection was Holographic Lights. I had been wanting a holographic nail polish for months and I wore this for two weeks straight when it I got it. It is a silver nail polish which looks pretty boring in the shade but as soon as it hits sunlight it reflects rainbow colours and I can;t help but stare at my nails whenever I wear this.

I have always loved the shade range from Leighton Denny but I hadn't tried them until recently when they kindly sent me two gorgeous blue shades. The two shades I have are Cool Blue, a gorgeous pale baby blue and Get Your Cote, a brighter blue shade. I really like the formulations of these polishes as they apply very smoothly to the nails and they don't chip easily on my nails!

For light nails, I love the Orly Breathable Polish in Rehab which is a very light baby pink, almost white shade. I really like this range from Orly has it has benefits for the nails and are even vegan-friendly so anybody can use these polishes! I also find that these are slightly more long lasting than many of my other nail polishes. Excuse Me, Sur from Essie is the perfect peach shade and Essie polishes are some of my all time favourites. This is from the Spring 2017 collection and is the by far my favourite shade from the collection.

For days when I am in a hurry and don't have time to wait for my nails to dry, I always go for fake ones as they are so much quicker to use and they look very professional without the high price! All three of the sets included in this post are all from KISS which you can find at Superdrug, I do really like the nails and I always get compliments on my nails whenever I wear them. The Gel Fantasy Nails in Freshen Up are a stunning bright peach nails with ombre glitter, I can see these being perfect for festival season! The imPRESS Nails in Next Wave are absolutely adorable with glittery accent nails and baby pink polished ones so you can pick and choose which ones you want to use. I love red nails all year round and KISS and some gorgeous bright red nails that you can press on too.

What are your favourite spring nail shades?

This post contains press samples, all opinions are my own.

False limits – Happy Brains

False limits

You will encounter real limits. You can’t turn yourself invisible, bench press 3,000 pounds or do a heart transplant with a steak knife.

But real limits are easy to identify. We rarely have a problem discovering them.

The false limits, the ones that others put on us, those can be a real problem. Even when the limiter means well–they’re often trying to save us from heartbreak or wasted effort–those limits can become a habit, not something useful.

I got a note from a teacher at York Community College yesterday. He wrote, “Encouraging anyone to become a Linchpin is seriously bad advice for an individual to pursue and for a company to allow….think these things through before you put them out there.”

I’m frustrated and saddened on behalf of the eager students in his class. The ones who are paying out of their pocket, taking time away from work and family, doing the work, pushing themselves to level up… and encountering a teacher who doesn’t believe it’s possible for them to make a difference.

Without a doubt, an industrialist can profit mightily by building jobs that can be done by interchangeable workers at the lowest possible skill and pay. But that doesn’t mean you need to sign up to be one of those interchangeable cogs.

And, without a doubt, there’s work to be done by organizations that simply do what they did yesterday, but perhaps a bit faster or cheaper. But that doesn’t mean that this has to be your work.

The goal of the Linchpin is to make things better by making better things. To dance on an edge, to see what’s possible, to create and contribute, to learn and to ship.

Does it always work? Nope. Hardly. But it’s the path of possibility. And if you’re trusting someone to teach you to make things happen, it helps if they believe it’s possible. That you’re capable of bringing your best self to a problem and doing the difficult work of solving it.

The future is defined by those that change the past. We need you to make a ruckus.

How to Make Pasta for Dogs – Free Recipe

This is good enough to serve your family. If you do, add in some garlic to the human portion and about a tablespoon of dried onion flakes.

NOTE: Be cautious with feedings dogs tomatoes as they contain solanine, which is generally found in the stems, leaves and green/less ripe tomatoes. Feeding them ripe tomatoes or canned tomatoes in moderation should not be an issue. This isn't an everyday meal.

1 pound of ground beef.

1 cup total of herbs of your choice, such as tarragon, oregano and basil. Fresh is best. If you use dried decrease the amount to ¼ cup total

15 ounce can of diced tomatoes (no salt added)

8 ounce can tomato sauce (no salt added)

3 cups cooked whole wheat pasta

Brown the beef and drain the fat off. Add the tomatoes, sauce and herbs. Let simmer for 15 minutes for the flavors to blend. Toss in the pasta. Stir well. If you like you can sprinkle with a few shreds of Parmesan cheese.

With today’s proliferation of smartphones and the Internet, it is easy to get the impression that web content is readily accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime, and in a multitude of formats.

Not if you are Deaf or hard of hearing.

Auditory impairments can be mild to moderate (hard of hearing) where individuals can hear sounds but sometimes can’t understand all speech, especially when audio quality is poor or technical language is used.  Impairments can also be substantial and uncorrectable such as total hearing loss in both ears (Deaf).  Therefore, to use the Web effectively, people with auditory impairments often rely on transcripts and captions of audio content.

However, when I recently accessed the top 50 Apple podcasts in the United States, only 8% of those podcasts provided text transcripts: the only way individuals who are Deaf and hard of hearing can fully engage with this new growing form of content. With audio and video content now dominating the web, those who are Deaf and hard of hearing are missing out on valuable news and information.

You might ask why does this matter and why should I care?

Well, apart from just wanting to be a good human being, making your web content more accessible to the Deaf and hard of hearing can make good business sense.

According to the National Institute on Deafness, 15% of American adults (37.5 million people) aged 18 an older have some trouble hearing. Worldwide that number rises to 466 million, according to the World Health Organization. Not incorporating accessible content means not reaching your full target audience.

Additionally, the number of lawsuits against web creators that don’t make their websites more accessible are increasing. Last year, there were 2,285 ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) website lawsuits filed in federal courts across the United States, an increase of a 181% from 2017, according to website accessibility company UsableNet.  Every type of website genre is facing legal challenges: hotels, travel sites, healthcare industries, financial institutions, educational facilities, mobile applications, and online courses. Preventing anyone from conducting tasks online is starting to be risky business.

So what can you do as a content creator?  Here are some practical solutions that all audio and video creators can implement to make web content more accessible for the Deaf and hard of hearing:

1. Provide Text Transcripts for All Audio

Podcasts and other audio content that wishes to follow best practice for web content accessibility should include a full text transcript. If you don’t provide a transcript for your audio files, you are effectively discriminating against Deaf and hard of hearing people by preventing them from getting the same information as the general population.

In fact, providing a text alternative is required by law in some cases.

Luckily, recent advancements in technology mean that converting your audio to text is now pretty quick, simple and cost effective if you use an automatic transcription service provider.

When including a text transcript, the best practice is to include a verbatim record of everything the speakers say.  The text transcript should also identify who is speaking as well as note in brackets any other significant sounds that are part of the recording such as laughter, applause, audience questions, long pauses, etc.

Happy Scribe's interactive audio to text transcription tool.

2.  Incorporate Captions Into All Video

For audio-only files, a text transcript is usually sufficient to meet accessibility requirements for the Deaf and hard of hearing.  However, if you are creating video, then it is advised to incorporate captions.

The best practice with captions is to place them over the video image and synchronise the text with the audio. Seeing the text with the video is important so that the person who is Deaf or hard of hearing can see what’s happening in the video and get the audio information in text form at the same time. For the individual that is hard of hearing, caption allow them to listen to the audio to hear what they can and have captions to fill in what they can’t hear adequately.

3.  Be Mindful of Overusing Slang and Play on Words

Remember that individuals in the Deaf community, especially those who were born with total hearing loss, may have little or no knowledge of the phonetic sounds that are common to an individual with normal hearing.

Consider this rather cheesy play on words joke:

What happens to a frog's car when it breaks down?
It gets toad away.

In reading this joke, a person with normal hearing sounds out the word ‘toad’ in their head and can instantly make the connection to a similar phonetically sounding word ‘towed’.  Consider how this translates, or rather probably doesn’t, to someone who is Deaf or hard of hearing.

Consider, too, how a lot of our text abbreviations and emails use phonetic short cuts. GR8 is easily sounded out to read ‘great.’  Just as 2moro easily translates audibly to be ‘tomorrow’ for someone with normal hearing.

As you can see, it can be pretty difficult for someone who is Deaf or hard of hearing to comprehend play on words and phonetical abbreviations. A heavy use of synonyms can also be challenging as sign language uses very few.  Sign languages rely more heavenly on facial expressions and body language to convey essential meaning and emphasis than it does on a multitude of words with similar meanings. Often there is no direct written translation for these meanings and emphasis.

This is particularly true for Deaf audiences, where text transcriptions and captions are considered the user’s second language - after ASL (American Sign Language) - one with which their level of fluency may be not be as proficient.

This makes providing text transcripts and captions alone not enough. Creators should also consider the language of the content they present.

The ideal solution for the Deaf person is to provide sign language interpretation if possible, as it is sometimes seen on news broadcasts and current affairs programmes.  Where this isn’t feasible, including a glossary of specialised vocabulary or terminology with definitions in a simpler language can be helpful. Finally supplementing text with images, graphs and other illustrations can help make web content more understandable to many people.

4. Limit or Scale Back Background Noise

People that are hard of hearing particularly struggle with separating speech from background noise in podcasts, videos, and news clips.  To help make the content more accessible, editors and content creators should consider these three options:

  • Ensure that you have high-quality foreground audio that is clearly distinguishable from any background noise.
  • Check that the background sounds are at least 20 decibels lower than the foreground speech content.  An exception can be made if the sounds only last 1 to 2 seconds.
  • Provide a option where background sounds can be turned off.
  • Do not include any background noise.

5. Choose a Media Player with Extensive Functions

Another way to make your multimedia content more accessible for individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing is to choose a media player that incorporates these functions:

  • Options to stop, pause, and adjust the volume of the audio content (independently of the system volume).
  • Options to adjust the text style, size, colour and position of the captions.
  • Option to change the speed of the video.
  • Inclusion of an interactive transcript that highlights text phrases as they are spoken. This allows users to select text in the transcript and go to that point in the video.

Ted Talks is one of the industry leaders on how to incorporate interactive transcripts and a multi-functional medial player into their online content.

Additionally, if you are looking for the best web-based media player, then check out this table developed and maintained by the Committee on Institutional Cooperation Information Technology Accessibility Group (CIC ITAG). The table scores web-based media players against desirable features and provides some insight into implementing the players into a variety of web environments.

A Ted Talk entitled 'The secret language of trees' uses interactive transcripts, readable captions, and video speed controls.

6.  Review Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

If you really want to ensure that your web content is meeting the highest standards of accessibly then an in-depth look at the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) is advised.

The initiative, launched in 2017, aims help improve the accessibility of the World Wide Web for people with a variety of  disabilities. However, their guidelines in planning and making audio and video material for the web is particularly useful.

Reviewing these guidelines is recommended for any web content creator.

7.  Employe More Deaf and Hard of Hearing Web Designers and Content Creators

One of the best ways to ensue that your web content is as accessible to the Deaf and hard of hearing community is by encouraging more diversity in your team.

An individual that is Deaf or hard of hearing will automatically raise questions about a website’s accessibility issues.  Additionally, their presence on the team can start to shift their colleagues’ mindset to being open to more accessibility. Simply put, if you have more Deaf and hard of hearing employees doing the job, things will automatically change.

If you can’t afford a full-time employee, then consider consulting with relevant individuals or charities to get feedback on accessibility of your web content.

In today’s world, where news and information is increasingly obtained from the Internet, it is becoming extremely important, as well as legally required, to ensure that every individual has the same access to consume all the audio and video that is available.

We hope you agree!

Do let us know if you have any additional suggestions to make web content more accessible for the Deaf and hard of hearing. Happy Scribe would love to hear from you.

What is a city? A question I was asked as part of a university entrance interview some forty years ago. I was reminded of it the other day as I was cleaning the barn. “Why?” you say. I do not know. What I do know is when a mindless sort of chore is being done my mind wanders, and that day it wandered from the chore into things urban.
So, I put the question to you. What is a city? Before you read further take a few minutes to decide what you think makes a city and then read on for my opinion. Then I want to explain why I believe our cities reinforce remoteness.
Now, as it was forty years ago, my answer is as follows: a city is people. Whatever else it may be, first and foremost it is people. We are the creative force that conceived it, built it and maintain it. Take away people or banish them to their rural pursuits and cities would evaporate. But, I hear you say, ”They are so much more.” Well, yes they are and they are based upon five other elements people have employed: a location, structure, links, technology and institutions. These are the foundation elements in all their various arrangements upon which our cities have been shaped and organized.
Jump forward thousands of years from the first cities to the present day. Layer upon layer upon layer of creativity and variation in arrangement of the foundation elements has established a global network of cities where a majority of people live. Unfortunately, not all is well on the urban front.
I said above a city is people. Therefore, based upon such an assumption, it should follow our planning and design should be primarily for the needs and requirements of people, but in so many ways I believe we have failed. For sure people inhabit urban areas, work, go to school, play, grow up and grow old. People inhabit what we have built and continue to build, but at the price of less than optimum community living, which is after all our natural inclination in its many forms, and at the price of excessive energy use. We are social beings and thrive upon well functioning communities. We are also creative and thoroughly enjoy attractive and supportive urban environments. On both counts we have short-changed ourselves. We have not failed completely as elements of urbanity work well.  However, in particular and incrementally with the process and sequence of past decisions, we have allowed urban remoteness to take hold in an iron grip.
I do not believe there is any one reason we can point to saying, “There it is, that is the reason our urban areas are the way they are.” In fact there are many reasons, which tend to be mutually reinforcing. So, lets look at some of them.
In part this is a chicken and egg dilemma in that it is quite impossible to determine what reasons preceded and followed. I need to start somewhere and so here goes.
We are constantly confronted with the need to make choices. We do this as individuals, as communities and in enterprise trying to make the best choice to achieve advantage for ourselves and our constituencies. Our choices are made based upon held attitudes and values and our perceived requirements and limitations. Many of these decisions are short-term in nature as we fail to recognize or look at or have enough information to consider the longer-term view and consequences. In reality, our appointed surrogates, the leaders, are the decision makers for so much of what is really important in the shape of our urban areas and they bring personal viewpoints and concerns along with professional and expert advice to their decisions. These are the decisions having wide impact across our societies and communities. Of course some of the decisions and the legacy of those decisions just seem to happen. There is no paper trail as such. One day the change was apparent, there were sixteen lane highways much like the emergence of Spring. The highways just took longer to grow, more like a tree. So choice, decisions, consequences, choice and so on is a circular process into which we draw a whole bunch of concerns and pieces of information to inform and influence. Exactly where it will all lead and the materializing results are largely unpredictable because the goal posts and side-lines are constantly being moved at it seems an increasingly rapid rate. Lets look at some of the concerns, beliefs and information.
The Industrial Revolution and its processes has a lot to do with the shape of our urban environments today. It was the first real wedge pounded into the rural and agricultural phenomenon. Slowly but surely people were attracted into urban areas for employment and other attractions developed as towns grew larger. Money, power and decision-making gradually was placed into the hands of a relatively few surrogates with their own vested interests and influences. Changes occurred in urban areas to accommodate industrial requirements. A growing impact on the natural and urban environment ensued. Equally across the board societies and their economies have been permanently altered.
Out of this process has grown, for very good reason, the notions of “economies of scale” and “bigger is better”. These notions are alive and well today, but I believe are far to widely applied and represent the core of the reasons for urban remoteness. In so many ways the notions have informed our decisions where they had no business being in the first place. We have given up nurture and nature for engineering and planning efficiencies. We have regulated and zoned where compassion and creativity was required. We have encouraged and supported unfettered growth ignoring limits and degrading consequences. We have, it seems, abandoned the notion of “fixing at source” in favour of picking up the pieces later. Prevention has been a foreign concept struggling to survive. We have developed the technologies to support and encourage our decisions and we were able to harness the energies required to support the technologies. With an ability, it would seem, to install unlimited amounts of infrastructure based upon relatively cheap and constant energy supply and resource materials, more and more people have been encouraged to buy into an ever-expanding urban fringe. Our urban areas have become humongous in population, enterprise, technology and scale. To support all that we have become tremendously acquisitive following the promotional leads and chasing down the sales. Our responses have become knee-jerk reactions, just one more step in the process of supply and demand. More and more all of this is being achieved in a remote fashion and in turn is reinforcing the conditions for more remoteness.
There are so many examples of remoteness in our urban areas to choose from, it seems limiting and unjust to focus on only a few. Yet, that is indeed what I have to do, as space is limited. Once you get the hang of identifying remoteness, you can discover on your own other examples.
First, I will remind you remoteness involves distance and separation from information required to make informed choices. Where and when remoteness is present there is an information deficit and the future consequences of decisions cannot be determined with consistency and confidence. As I mentioned above two remote inducing factors, scale and surrogates, have become very influential. Our urban areas and the global nature of our economies and decision-making have become so large and complex full information and prediction is impossible. At best we can suggest trends, as was done with global warming predictions, but then taking notice of these and doing something about them when the consequences have not affected us yet and there are lots of conflicting opinions and there is a dearth of opportunities and options available to make the changes, well it all institutionalizes remoteness. We turn off and say, “Oh, there will be a technological fix.” We assume others, the surrogates, will fix things. We are blind to the notion we are the problem.
Decision-making out of context, in a remote fashion with insufficient information, is similar to introducing non-native species into an environment. The new species could be absorbed, but as has happened so often it could run-amok causing immense damage. The technologies we have created are a case in point. Henry Ford, General Motors and the like released the motor vehicle into our urban environments and beyond. They dominate. There is no natural predator to keep them in check. They just keep on expanding in number, location and economic influence along with the infrastructure required to support them.
Information technology is another case in point. It is a tool now being used for various reasons: information capture and dissemination; commentary; social networking; promotion, selling and buying; entertainment. It is really an extension of older technologies, but is more efficient in its roll and far more widely dispersed creating a global network. However, I cannot help but feel it is or has become or is becoming superficial with the sound bites and tweets contributing to information overload. I don’t know where we are going with information technology. I do know there will be more toys to play with, the information available will continue to inform and influence and our reliance on surrogates will be modified.
Finally I want to comment on the shape and size of many of our urban areas. They are too large, too “big technology” dependent and have become deterrents to community living. We seem to have to drive everywhere for every reason when in principle, the whole notion and concept of an urban area should be to bring destinations closer together. Our work, shopping, entertainment, schools and the like have become removed and remote. We have a diminished stake in them as they have become enclaves separated out of our communities. Indeed, our communities are less together now and are rather sprawling collections of grass-cutting and two and three car garage subdivisions without focus. They have become amorphous in design and function. So many opportunities to do better have been missed in the name of size, growth and profit all supported by cheap energy.
There is so much more to be said, but for now I have said enough.
I am Steve Tubb.

Facing Hawai‘i’s Future Book (2013)

Hawai‘i SEED is publishing a second edition of its book “Facing Hawai‘i’s Future: Essential Information About GMOs” in January, 2012. This collection of essays by celebrated authors, researchers, lawyers, farmers and community activists covers “the big picture” of genetically engineered agriculture in Hawai‘i and raises important questions about the future of this industry in our Islands.

DOWNLOAD a PDF Copy here

(Excerpt from the book’s introduction) O Ke Au Mua, O Ke Au Nei

From the knowledge deep within until the knowledge of the present time…

The Hawaiian Islands stand isolated and unique, alone in a vast sea. The complex ecosystems that form life here evolved slowly over eons of geologic time. Hawai‘i is a “hotspot” of biodiversity with more species of endangered plants and animals than anywhere else on Earth.

This priceless living treasure, however, is under siege. Development, increasing population and climate change all put pressure on Hawai‘i’s ecosystems. Alien species, with increasing frequency, overtake our natives, erasing our opportunity to understand the intricate web of life which surrounds us and of which we are part.

Today, we can see an approaching food and farming tsunami. The revolution occurring in agriculture has the potential to forever change the basic genetic structure of the food we eat, as well as the soils, the plants, and the animals that form the delicate balance of our pristine ecosystem. Multinational corporations and universities with the full support of federal and state governments are altering the genetic structure and nutritional content of the foods we eat, patenting the seed, preventing farmers from saving seed, and changing the course of 10,000 years of agriculture. Genes of different species are being combined in food crops at the molecular level without knowledge of their effects on ecosystems or human health.

Years ago, a decision was made to allow Hawai‘i to become the nursery for experimental genetically engineered agricultural crops known as GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Big corporations have big influence and our year-round growing season, geographical isolation and permissive regulations each contributed their part. Unfortunately, co-existence of conventional (non-GMO), organic and GMO agriculture is not biologically possible.

There is so much to preserve and protect in our islands, yet GMOs will never give us the truly diversified food production and food security we need. Many people have a different vision of Hawai‘i’s path to an ecological and sustainable agricultural future. This vision is grounded in recycling the vast bounty of organic materials available in the tropics to produce soil and ecosystem health; in wise choices of planting varieties and growing season; and in a better understanding of the complex interaction between ‘āina and culture. Imagine a proud and independent Hawai‘i filled with unique varieties of locally produced tropical foods grown on diverse family farms. Imagine our islands as a mecca not just for recreation but also for health and wellness, an example to the world. Imagine our state and county agencies and our university system supporting these ideas.

Hawai‘i SEED is a grassroots coalition of farmers, consumers, parents, doctors and scientists from every corner of the Hawaiian islands. Now is the time to bring increased awareness and speak openly about GMO agriculture and its effects on the environment, health and culture of Hawai‘i’s people. We hope to grow a vision for a more sustainable form of agriculture based on statewide support for local, diversified farms and aware, engaged communities. It is not too late for Hawai‘i to bring that vision to life.

As you read the stories in this compilation, some frightening and others inspiring, we ask you to keep this vision in mind. This book is meant to be used as a tool for change, an opportunity to build the future that our children and their children deserve. Pale ke ao – protect what is here now.

Top ten contenders for Ballon d’Or 2021: Power Rankings

After one of the most prestigious awards that a player can own for himself was cancelled last year due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Players gear up and show their best for this individual title.

10. Ruben Dias

Manchester City had not conceded a single goal for almost 15 matches every time when the duo of Ruben Dias and John Stones guarded the goalkeeper as the centre-backs. Dias’s significance was tested when top-of-the-table City lost to Leeds as he sat on the bench. Dias is a front-runner among the centre-backs this season.

9. Cristiano Ronaldo

This has been the first time in nine years that Cristiano Ronaldo is not among the top three. Ever since his transfer to Juventus in hopes of them winning the Champions League, Ronaldo has not been able to guide Juve past the quarter-final stage for three years now. Although he is still the Serie-A top-scorer with 25 goals, he is seen in a struggling form and also might depart from the club post this season.

His only chance to win or to get closer to his sixth trophy would be to win the Euro 2020 with Portugal.

8. Erling Haaland

With 21 goals in Bundesliga and 10 goals in seven Champions League games, Erling Haaland is an absolute beast. The 20-year-old has set a standard for all the young players out there and is already being compared to the prime Ronaldo and Messi.

If Haaland is able to knock Manchester City out of the Champions League by scoring a goal or goals, he might have a good chance to climb above the ladder in the race for his first Ballon d’Or.

7. Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema is the sole striker for Real Madrid and he is single-handedly responsible to lead Madrid into the top of La Liga table and keep them still in the race for the Champions League. Benzema is the only player who has scored 70 non-penalty goals in the UCL.

He has now found the net in each of his last seven league matches.

6. Ilkay Gundogan

Manchester City are well on their way to winning yet another Premier League title and Gundogan is one of the chief architects of their success this season. This is certainly the best season at City for the German. Gundogan has scored 16 goals for Manchester City this season across all competitions and has been one of the best players in form at the Premier League.

5. Romelu Lukaku

After leaving Manchester United in 2019, Lukaku has shown a serious form and has become the main target man for Inter Milan. With 27 goals in all competitions, He is leading Inter to their 19th League title. Also, he is a regular for Belgium which stands strong as the No. 1 team according to FIFA rankings.

4. Kevin De Bruyne

After a long-term injury spell, The Belgian ace is back on song at a key moment as Manchester City chase an unprecedented quadruple this season. He signified his return after scoring a banger from long range against Gladbach and also taking up the lead in the first leg against Dortmund.

He has made a number of decisive match-winning contributions and could be a serious Ballon d’Or contender later in the year.

3. Lionel Messi

The six-time Ballon d’Or winner has played a key role in Barcelona’s resurrected title challenge in La Liga helped Barca reach the Copa del Rey final, scoring 23 goals and eight assists this season.  Although, his form is great, the player is often perceived as being strained after continuing to play for Barcelona since 14 years. Messi has not scored in his last seven El Clasico games since 2018.

2. Robert Lewandowski

According the people all over, the scrapping of the Ballon d’Or last year resulted in Lewandowski getting robbed of his first. After a brilliant season at Bayern and the Sextuple winner, the award was surely his to grab. Even this season the Polish is setting high records as he currently is Europe’s top-scorer this season as well. Bayern had a 23-game win streak in Bundesliga and a 20-game win streak in the Champions League. Lewandowski’s absence in Bayern’s last game with PSG, leading to Bayern being eliminated was duly noted and showed how important he is for the team.

1. Kylian Mbappe

In knocking Bayern Munich out of the Champions League, Mbappe played a major role by scoring a threatening brace in the first-leg. Along with that he also scored a hat-trick against Barcelona, knocking them out from the same as well. With exquisite pace, technique, and 33 goals this season so far, there should be no surprise that Kylian Mbappe tops this list.

Around six million people in the UK suffer from Migraine and if you are one of them, you will be familiar with that pulsing pain over the eye, the nausea and that flickering fractured shimmering in your vision. Once you have had an attack, fear of it happening again can become overwhelming. There is still a lot of debate about the causes of Migraine, certainly fluctuations in serotonin levels is believed to be a factor, hormone changes in women, certain foods can play a part, as can poor sleep, but the one thing everyone seems to be agreed upon is the role of stress in triggering Migraines.

In hypnotherapy we can work with a variety of methods to tackle Migraine, we can give techniques to use with an aura migraine to help prevent it from developing into a full attack once the aura has started, we can work with calming tools to use when there is a situation which could trigger a Migraine, we can give techniques to manage pain and sickness, we can help to achieve effective sleep. We may record a short 10 minute audio file, that you can play to help to avert an attack if you have a warning, or in anticipation of an attack if you are under stress. Indeed managing stress can make up a significant part of any programme to combat migraine and that ongoing anticipation of another attack.

Sleep Apnea Specialist

Healing Lungs

Raees Ahmed, MD

Pulmonologist, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine Specialist located in Conroe, TX

Untreated sleep apnea increases your risk of problems such as high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms. Sleep apnea also aggravates existing lung conditions and triggers problems like pulmonary hypertension. As a lung and sleep medicine specialist, Raees Ahmed, MD, at Healing Lungs in Conroe, Texas, offers the comprehensive care you need to effectively treat sleep apnea and start getting the refreshing sleep you need to stay healthy. To schedule an appointment for a sleep apnea assessment, call the office or use the online booking feature.

Sleep Apnea Q & A

What causes sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when your breathing briefly stops while you sleep. In a mild case of sleep apnea, you have 5-15 apnea episodes every hour. If you have severe sleep apnea, you may stop breathing 30 times or more per hour.

Your breathing stops when soft tissues like your tongue relax, fall toward the back of your mouth, and cover your airway. You start to snore when soft tissues partially block the airway, and you stop breathing when the airway is completely covered.

As oxygen levels drop, your brain reacts, waking you just enough to take a breath and start breathing again.

What symptoms develop due to sleep apnea?

Virtually everyone with sleep apnea snores, but the list of common symptoms includes:

  • Loud snoring
  • Fatigue during the day
  • Morning headaches
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Poor memory
  • Frequently urinating during the night

You probably won’t realize you snore until others in the household mention it. They may also notice repeated cycles of loud snoring, sudden silence when you stop breathing, and a gasp or snort when your breathing resumes.

How do you diagnose sleep apnea?

An overnight sleep study is the only way to diagnose sleep apnea accurately. Most patients qualify for home sleep testing rather than needing to go to a sleep lab.

During home testing, you wear a finger sensor, an elastic band around your chest, and nasal cannulas in both nostrils. While you sleep, they measure oxygen levels, breathing, and airflow, automatically sending the data to a recording device. Dr. Ahmed downloads the information and uses it to diagnose sleep apnea.

How do you treat sleep apnea?

The first line of treatment for sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). As you wear a mask over your nose and/or mouth, the CPAP device delivers constant air pressure that keeps your airway open.

If you have moderate sleep apnea and can’t tolerate CPAP, a customized mouthguard is another treatment option. The oral appliance gently holds your jaw and tongue in a forward position so it can’t fall back and cover your airway.

Lifestyle changes are sometimes all you need if you have mild sleep apnea. For example, not drinking alcohol before bedtime and losing weight, if necessary, may stop your sleep apnea.

If housemates complain about loud snoring and you feel tired during the day, call Healing Lungs or schedule an appointment online to learn if you have sleep apnea.

Fewer adults with IDD receive health checkups and are screened for cancer

Helene Ouellette-Kuntz, PhD
Queen's University, Canada

Regular health checkups and screenings play a crucial role in the early identification and treatment of health problems, which can slow or stop them from developing into more serious conditions. This is known as secondary prevention. Providing health care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) that includes services aimed at secondary prevention is critical, as some may lack the ability to recognize and/or communicate the early signs and symptoms of disease. Despite this, studies have found that many individuals with IDD do not receive these types of services.

What did you do in your research?
Using administrative data from the Canadian province of Ontario, we identified a large group of adults 18–64 years of age with IDD (n=66,484) and a comparison group of adults without IDD that included over 2.7 million individuals. We then compared the groups in terms of the following: 1) Proportion overall who had a health checkup over a two-year period; 2) Proportion of women 50–64 years of age who had a mammogram over a two-year period; 3) Proportion of women 18–64 years of age who had a Pap test over a three-year period; and 4) Proportion of individuals 50–64 years of age who were up-to-date with colorectal cancer screening (fecal occult blood test in previous two years, sigmoidoscopy in previous five years, or colonoscopy in previous ten years).

What did you find out?
For all four preventive health services examined, the rates were lower in the group with IDD compared to the group without IDD. The differences between the groups ranged from 4.4% for the health checkup to 33.0% for the Pap test. Less than one-quarter of adults with IDD had a health checkup over a two-year period, and the age-eligible proportions who had been screened for breast (52.2%), cervical (33.7%), and colorectal cancer (32.0%) were also suboptimal.

What are the take-home messages?
Compared to those without IDD, fewer adults with IDD in Ontario receive health checkups and are screened for cancer. This is a serious disparity, as evidence suggests that adults with IDD experience health-related problems at similar or higher rates than the general population. As primary care delivery and secondary prevention recommendations in Ontario and elsewhere continue to evolve, there is a need to monitor the impact of these changes on adults with IDD and to make efforts to increase their access to preventive health care.

To learn more about these findings contact Helene Ouellette-Kuntz.

The only problem with temporarily abandoning a project is that you can never really go home again.

I’ve been trying to get back into a project I stopped working on in late 2009. It’s not something I had gotten very far into at the time – and it’s actually pretty well written. All fairly good points, but what’s interesting is that three books later, I can see how much this mostly unwritten story has changed over the years.

How my writing has changed, compared to what it was.

The overall story idea has stayed the same, but over two years of percolation has definitely expanded my initial concept. Which isn’t a bad thing at all. Maybe it’s a bit like ripening fruit. The story might have been fine as it was, but I’ve had a few years to work on my writing craft, as well as flesh out some plots lines I wasn’t sure about before – it’s grown in scope and characterization for sure.

Still, it’s one thing to wait until something is ready to go…but waiting too long doesn’t bode well either. It *is* possible for a writing to be overworked and overwritten. Overripe fruit metaphor and all that. Still tastes okay, but you know it’s a little “off”.)

I’ve been brainstorming more than anything else the last week or so, trying to merge into something less panster-like, in the off chance I’ll be able to speed up my creative endeavors. (So many ideas and so little time. It’s a bit like trying to catch butterflies with a bubble.)

7 Essential Furnishings for a Comfortable Guest Bedroom

7 Essential Furnishings for a Comfortable Guest Bedroom

Having the right furnishings and accessories in your guest bedroom can help your friends and family members have a relaxing and stress-free visit. It can also help you feel like a great host. What does a guest bedroom require to be cozy, comfortable, and functional?

Check out these must-have bedroom furniture that will help you create a welcoming space for visiting guests.

1. A Comfortable Bed

Of course, the first step to ensuring your guests are comfortable in your home is purchasing a comfortable bed that will allow them to have a good night’s sleep. After a long trip, it helps to be able to lay your head down at night and sleep in comfort. Many people have trouble falling asleep in strange surroundings, so make it easier on them with a great bed and a comfortable mattress.

Ideally, you’ll want to choose a queen-sized bed or larger to accommodate couples who are visiting your home. When it comes to the mattress, read reviews online and don’t skimp. Go to different stores and test out the mattresses before buying.

If your guest room also doubles as your office or another room, opt for a stylish day bed or futon instead. This way, you can fold it up when your guests leave. Today’s sofa beds are much more comfortable than those of the past, and they come in a variety of designs and styles. You may always want to consider purchasing a portable toddler bed if many of your guests have children.

Make sure to adorn the bed you choose for your guest bedroom with fresh linens and comfortable pillows.

2. A Chest of Drawers or Dresser

Living out of a suitcase can be a pain. Having to pull your clothing and items out of a bag every time you need to use them can be frustrating, especially during a long trip. It’s more convenient to be able to temporarily store items in a dresser or chest of drawers, making this a must-have furnishing item in your guest bedroom.

3. A Comfortable Chair

Your guests will appreciate having a cozy chair to sit on. Whether they’re checking their phone, reading a book, or having a morning cup of coffee, it can be nice to relax somewhere other than on the bed.

4. Good Lighting

If the lighting in your guest bedroom isn’t as good as it could be, make sure to add some additional lamps near the chair and the bed. This can help your guests avoid hurting themselves in the dark in an unfamiliar room. What’s more, it can provide the light they need to read a book during their private time.

5. A Luggage Rack

If you don’t have the space for a chest of drawers in your guest bedroom, make sure to leave enough space for a luggage rack, which can make it much more convenient for your guests to pack and unpack. When the room isn’t in use, a luggage rack can also be folded up and put away.

6. A Full-Length Mirror

Having a dresser mirror can be just what your guests need when putting on makeup, but a full-length mirror will help them see their entire outfit before leaving the room. It can also add that extra visual element to an empty wall. Full-length mirrors make beautiful decorative pieces today, combining function and aesthetic.

7. Essential Accessories

Finally, once you’ve filled your guest room with must-have furnishings, it’s time to add in the essential accessories your guests may require. This includes extra towels, pillows, and blankets to ensure your guests’ comfort, a wastebasket to avoid the buildup of clutter, a laundry hamper to help visitors separate their clean clothes from their dirty clothes, and a fan or heater to ensure your guests can control their own temperature.

Hemp 101

Hemp Flower 101

Hemp plants produce flowers that typically grow along the stalk and near the smaller-sized sugar leaves. This part of the plant is rich in cannabinoids, which are naturally occurring compounds that trigger neurotransmitter activity in the central nervous and immune systems.

The flowers on psychoactive cannabis plants contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabinoid that produces euphoric high, but hemp cannot get people high because it only contains trace amounts of THC. However, hemp plants do contain cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabinoid with potentially far reaching medicinal applications.

Frontiers in Endocrinology published a study in 2020 that highlighted this potential: “CBD is considered as a potential therapeutic agent due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, neuroprotective, and potential anti-obesity properties.” Other studies suggest CBD may help with pain, insomnia and even certain mental health disorders. In the U.S., the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes its antiepileptic effects, and extensive research is ongoing as to the validity of CBD’s other potential uses.

While some people consume CBD by smoking flower, it’s more commonly consumed as an extract. Chemists use processes like carbon dioxide extraction to pull the compound from the flowers, and the crystalline CBD is then typically added to an oil base that’s smoked, eaten or applied topically.

As a chemical that affects neurotransmitter activity in the body, CBD is taken orally to maximize its potential health and wellness benefits. A growing number of people, however, are now applying CBD creams to their skin to reduce pain and inflammation. Large-scale studies have yet to confirm these benefits, but anecdotal evidence suggests it might help improve conditions like sunburn, arthritic pain and immobility. Unlike seed oil, however, there’s less evidence to suggest that CBD provides real value as a beauty product, with the possible exception of reducing redness and inflammation. Some beauty products simply add it to seed oil and use the CBD to justify a higher price point, yet it’s the seed oil that’s primarily responsible for the improvements in the skin.

Studies will eventually determine which benefits are real and which aren’t, but the quality of the CBD is another important factor in considering use. The combination of shady operators, a complex extraction process and the rush to jump on the CBD bandwagon make certain products less reliable.

In 2019, the Mayo Clinic warned, “Care must be taken when directing patients toward CBD products because there is little regulation, and studies have found inaccurate labeling of CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol quantities.” Case in point, a 2018 study ran tests on 14 different CBD brands, and nine came back wanting. Worse still, the FDA found that some brands add dangerously high levels of lead, and it issued a mandatory recall of several CBD products in July 2020.

The only viable CBD products of any kind are formulated by pharmacists in FDA-registered facilities and feature batch-tested, third-party verified information on sourcing, extraction method, dosage levels and the hemp plants themselves (e.g., organic, non-GMO, pesticide-free). Furthermore, CBD is a compound, not an oil, so find out the type of oil it’s in and make sure it does not contain additives like parabens, colorants, phthalates or sodium laureth sulfate. As a largely unregulated product, CBD oils should be thoroughly researched to avoid an inferior and potentially harmful experience.

Cobain’s childhood home placed on state Heritage Register

The home was deemed historically significant for its direct connection to the Grunge music icon.

By Dan Hammock / The Daily World

Nothing about the house at the corner of East First Street and Chicago Avenue in northeast Aberdeen strikes you as “historic and culturally significant.”

It’s well-kept, surrounded by a black, chain-link fence. It’s literally around the corner from the Kurt Cobain Memorial Park, on the muddy banks of the Wishkah River.

The significance of the house isn’t the structure itself, but what the young man who grew up there — for whom the nearby park is named — contributed to the music history of the state, and the world, that has earned it a spot on the state’s Heritage Register.

“The home is historically significant for its direct connection to Grunge music icon, Kurt Cobain,” wrote Allyson Brooks, State Historic Preservation Officer. “The nominated house served as his childhood home during Cobain’s formative childhood years from 1968 to 1984.”

It’s important to note that the home’s placement on the register does not mean it is open to the public. It is a privately-owned home, not a shrine or museum, and is not open to the public.

The attic bedroom at the front of the house was Cobain’s room, where he first began to develop his natural artistic abilities in the years building up to his creation of the band Nirvana, whose music would speak to a generation of kids across the world.

Known as the Donald and Wendy Cobain House, for Kurt’s parents, the family moved into the residence when Kurt was just a few months old, according to the register application prepared by Lee and Danielle Bacon of Ocean Shores a little more than a month ago.

When Cobain was 9 years old, his parents split; Wendy stayed in the Aberdeen home, he moved to Montesano to live with his dad and other relatives. When he was 14, his uncle Chuck Fradenburg, who played in the band The Beachcombers in the ’60s, bought Kurt a used sunburst Lindell electric guitar. Kurt carried it everywhere, stringing it to accommodate his left-handedness.

While attending Weatherwax High School, Cobain would experiment with his sound in the East First Street family home, practicing all over the house and developing his songwriting talents. He dropped out of high school just shy of his graduation date and, for the next several years, lived what the register application described as a “nomadic life.”

Around 1985, he met Krist Novoselic, who lived in a home on top of Think Of Me Hill with his mother, who operated Maria’s Hair Design on South M Street, where the band would sometimes practice.

The rest, as they say, is history. In 1988, the band chose the name Nirvana and released a single. It gained traction in the Seattle music scene, and the band released its first album, Bleach, in 1989. In 1990, drummer Dave Grohl was brought into the fold. On Sept. 24, 1991, the band released the Nevermind album, with its anthem “Smells Like Teen Spirit” — to date, the album has sold more than 30 million copies.

The band dominated the music scene worldwide, touring the world and gaining a loud and loyal following, and released its final studio album, In Utero, in September 1993 — it knocked Michael Jackson’s Dangerous album off the charts.

Less than seven months later, Cobain, deeply drug-dependant at the time, was found dead at his Seattle home, a shotgun by his side.

Wendy Cobain and Kurt’s sisters, Kim and Brie-Ann, moved out of the East First Street home in 1995, but the home remained in the family until early 2018, when Kim and Wendy sold the home to the Bacons, “local residents of Grays Harbor, who have a deep appreciation to music history,” the Bacons wrote in their Heritage Register application.

“In mid-2018, working with the family, the Bacons began a comprehensive artifact refurnishing and restoration plan to reset the home to the years the family lived there,” read the application. “The restoration is based on meticulously accurate ‘storytelling’ of each room through original furnishing and decor, family photographs, instruments, equipment, interviews, audio recordings, video recordings and artifacts.”

The benefits of state register listing include potential property tax reductions and code waivers to protect the integrity of the property, said Brooks.

Wappen von Tönning

Official blazon

  • (de) In Rot auf blau-silbernen Wellen im Schildfuß schwimmend eine liegende goldene Tonne, auf der ein schwarzbewehrter silberner Schwan mit erhobenen Flügeln steht.

The arms were officially granted on October 22, 1953.

The barrel in the arms is a canting symbol (Tonne = barrel). the wavy lower part of the arms indicate the fact that the city borders the estuary of the Eider river. The swan and the barrel represent the story that Tönning was founded on the spot where a swan, standing on a barrel, was washed ashore.

Tönning was first mentioned in 1187 and became a city in 1590. At the same time the first seal was made, which showed a large ship, with in front of the main mast a shield with two lions and a barrel. The ship is probably taken to indicate the position on the Eiderstedt peninsula and the lions are the lions of Schleswig.

The Challenge

A national healthcare distributor was facing increased waste transportation costs and disrupted waste disposal services. Starting with one facility in Ohio, Heritage has decreased the amount of waste sent to landfill each year, as well as decreased the amount of money this company was spending on waste removal.

Each of this company’s sites had their own waste management processes, creating communications, and financial problems. Heritage offered clear visibility into waste management solutions for each facility, while providing transparent reporting and documentation into their current waste challenges.

Heritage implemented better processes for scheduling transport of goods, as well as saved 17,000 tons of waste from going to landfill. Cost reductions were also spotted after two years of adapting the methods Heritage laid out.

The adaptable approach we took in this one facility in Ohio has impacted the facility tremendously, leading to new opportunities to help this national distributor continue to improve their byproduct management.

and here, on the bridge

where you made me think

you could love me one day

i stand alone and watch

the water levels rise

and fall and rise and

fall for you again

i don't care to know you

as the liar that you were,

but the person you let me

believe you could be.

i think it's easier that way.

and i peel off the old shell

that once held my heart

and i throw it into the river

along with your stains

and scraps of old flannel

molted, like skin of a snake.

and i hope the next one

knows better than i did

but know that she won't.

she won't.

and you will do this again

under different nomenclature

in different states of being

but this time, i won't watch you

or be here to come back to,

i'll be caring for myself

the way you said you would.
