We're not the enemy

Mr. President, we, the Democrats - your base remember, aren't the political enemy. The Republicans are your political enemy. You negotiate with us, the progressive liberal base, and you argue with the Republicans. You don't do the reverse. You hate us for having ideals but not the Republicans for having their ideals. You didn't fight for and with us, but fought against us.

You sold us down the river for political compromise with the Republicans. Then you expressed your anger at us as you did before for nothing. The public option would have been good for everyone making health insurance competitive with the government's plan. Tax bonuses for the wealthy is wrong for America. More tax deductions and breaks for the wealthly and corporations aren't good for America and Americans.

And all these you said we're wrong because we won't compromise on our principles. Yet you will compromise your principles for the Republicans who hold their principles. We're not the enemy here and you keep treating us as is if were and are. And you expect us to support you in 2012? You're kidding, right?

The Republicans know that you will cave at the slightest sign of their obstinence over bills. They know that because you have caved every time while jettisoning the promises you gave us in 2008. And now you jettisoned us because we disagree with you and want to hold you accountable. What?

You have moved so far right, you're no longer a real Democrat. You're not even a centrists. You're a center-right President slowly becoming Republican with moments of Democrat-leaning ideas. You give us words while giving the Republicans results. And you expect us to be happy with you?

And it's easy to see, at least we see it, tax breaks and tax cuts won't solve the budget deficit and national debt. And it's easy to see you'll be hammered by the Republicans, Tea Party, the conservative PAC's, etal over both, increasing the same way they did in 2010 against the Democrats in the House and Senate. It's obvious to eveyone except you and your staff.

So why do you continue to say the Republicans will negotiate in good faith in the next Congress? Are you really that naive? I don't think so, but why do you keep proving you are? And why do you keep yelling at us and being nice to Republicans? Do you really think we won't equally be angry at you as you are with us?

We're not your enemy, and if you don't stop treating us as if we are, then we will make it clear to you what we can do in 2012. I hope you're ready for opposition. Or do you think we'll "read the details", as you say, and forgive you? If so, then you really are naive. And you'll be pushed from both sides, the Republicans you seem to love but hate you and us you seem to hate and will return the favor.

And all your words won't undo your past and your words spoken, especially at and about us. We have memories and will remind you. Loudly.

Ohio Family Cleans Out Freezer And Throws Out Grandma's Stash Of Cash

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. An Ohio family was cleaning their grandma's house and decided to empty the freezer - so helpful. The contents went into a bag and into the garbage, and only afterward did the woman warn her relations about the cash she kept in the freezer. They're now grateful to the trash company, Republic Services. Workers found the truck that picked up the garbage, picked through 6 tons of it and returned $25,000. It's MORNING EDITION.

Adorable “TNT Boys” Steal Hearts With Talent Beyond Their Years

A trio of Singing Dynamos Wow ‘World’s Best’ Judges with ‘Listen’

The TNT Boys, also known as The Big Shot Trio, made their debut on the tv show World’s Best and were instantly a hit.  TNT is a Filipino boy band made up of fourteen-year-old Keifer Sanchez, thirteen-year-old Mackie Empuerto, and twelve-year-old Francis Concepcion.

Even though they are young, they’ve already appeared on the tv show Little Big Shots and have been tweeted about by celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and Brian May.

For their audition, the TNT Boys chose Beyonce’s song “Listen.”  Right from the start, they were a crowd favorite, made clear by the almost-instant applause.  Dressed in royal blue suits with black shirts and ties, the three boys walked confidently out onto the stage.  They didn’t waste any time and got right into the song.  The maturity their young voices held was hard to believe.

The boys hit every note with complete ease as they each started the song with a short solo section.  Although the crowd was already cheering, when the three boys joined together and started harmonizing, the audience went crazy.  American celebrity judges Drew Barrymore, RuPaul, and Faith Hill were wowed and couldn’t believe their eyes – or ears.

The audience and all of the judges gave the TNT Boys a much-deserved standing ovation.  They are talented far beyond their years.  The boys couldn’t help but flash huge, beaming smiles in response to the praise and applause.

RuPaul, Faith Hill, and Drew Barrymore gave the boys an average score of 49, and the judges from the Wall of the World confirmed what everyone already knew – the TNT Boys were going to the next round.

Country music star Faith Hill told the boys, “First of all, you have some serious attitude. You’re so precious and so sweet but when you were singing, you were in that song, you were like, bam!”

The show’s host, James Corden, spoke to one of the judges later from the Wall of the World, Filipino singer Pops Fernandez.  She exclaimed, “I am so proud right now to represent the Philippines. On behalf of the Filipinos, guess what? I know for a fact that you can be The World’s Best.”

San Diego woman’s mother who disappeared in Zion National Park found

Holly Courtier
Posted at 2:23 PM, Oct 18, 2020
and last updated 2020-10-19 16:58:35-04

(KGTV) — A San Diego woman’s mother who disappeared in Zion National Park nearly two weeks ago has been found alive, according to her family.

Holly Courtier, 38, was last seen entering the Utah park on Oct. 6, before she was reported missing by her family.

The National Park Service said search and rescue teams located Courtier on Sunday after receiving, "a credible tip from a park visitor that they had seen Courtier within the park."

RELATED: San Diego woman’s mother missing in Zion National Park

Courtier’s daughter Kailey Chambers, of San Diego, told ABC-affiliate KABC that her mother is an experienced hiker and had recently bought a van to visit various national parks after losing her job due to the pandemic.

In a statement, Courtier's family thanked park rangers for their relentless efforts to find her.

"We would like thank the rangers and search teams who relentlessly looked for her day and night and never gave up hope. We are also so grateful to the countless volunteers who were generous with their time, resources and support. This wouldn't have been possible without the network of people who came together," a family statement read.

In text messages with CNN on Monday, Chambers gave an explanation for what happened to her mother during the two weeks she was missing.

"She injured her head on a tree," Chambers texted. "She was very disoriented as a result and thankfully ended up near a water source -- a river bed. She thought her best chance of survival was to stay next to a water source."

In the texts, Chambers says her mother went without food the entire time she was missing.

"She was too weak and disoriented (to seek help)," she said. "She was unable to take more than a step or two without collapsing. This prevented her from being able to seek out help. She told me she was so dehydrated she couldn't open her mouth."

Chambers said her mother remains hospitalized Monday as she hydrates and gets her strength back.

"We are slowly introducing foods. Her health remains our top priority," said Chambers. "My mom's recovery is my top priority right now. ... We will continue to focus on her health and will update everyone when possible."

Since Courtier was found, she and her family have been tight-lipped about what occurred and how she survived. Chambers' texts with CNN have been the only communication the family has had with the media.

15 students, 2 teachers pepper sprayed at Warren Township middle school

Posted at 11:30 AM, Apr 18, 2018
and last updated 2018-04-18 23:56:31-04

INDIANAPOLIS -- Warren Township, Indiana Schools says no students or teachers were seriously injured Wednesday when pepper spray was released inside a middle school.

Medical responders were called to Stonybrook Middle School and Stonybrook Intermediate Academy around 2 p.m. Wednesday for a report of more than a dozen people affected in an apparent pepper spray release.

According to Warren Township Schools, a student released the pepper spray inside the building – although it was not immediately clear whether the release was accidental.

A district spokesman said 15 students and two teachers were affected by the pepper spray. All were checked out and released on scene by EMS.

The school was temporarily evacuated following the incident and was back to normal conditions as of 2:30 p.m., the district said.

School police were reportedly examining surveillance footage to determine how the pepper spray was released.

Large numbers of dead birds have been found all over parts of the Southwest U.S., say researchers

Posted at 1:05 PM, Oct 12, 2020
and last updated 2020-10-15 13:15:54-04

Right now there is a mystery taking place over the Southwest United States.

Hundreds of thousands of birds have been found dead since the beginning of September, according to wildlife experts in New Mexico and Colorado, where some of the most have been reported.

“[It’s] really strange. Literally, birds dropping out of the sky type of thing,” said Alison Holloran, the executive director Audubon Rockies. “I actually got emails from Texas and New Mexico as well, where they’re also seeing larger numbers of die-offs.”

The crowdsourcing website has become a spot for people to post pictures of birds they have found as a way to provide more information to biologists and wildlife experts working to figure out why this is happening.

The site reports more than 1,000 incidents have been reported involving 191 different bird species.

“This is a very strange event,” said Travis Duncan, a spokesman with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “Heavy smoke from the wildfires may have played a part in creating navigation challenges for the birds.”

Duncan says biologists are still performing necropsies to determine a cause, but he says all signs point to a combination of the wildfires raging across the western United States and an early-season cold front at the beginning of September that brought snow and freezing temperatures to parts of the Midwest and Southwest.

Duncan says it may have caused the birds’ main food source, which is insects, to die off, forcing these birds to migrate without enough fat and weight to keep them safe once the cold front hit.

“This is a web of life. You pull one little string and the whole rope is going to move,” said Holloran.

Does this story affect your view of dentists?

Does this story affect your view of dentists?

This week, animal cruelty and trophy hunting took centre stage when a man from Minnesota killed a popular lion named Cecil, in Zimbabwe. By now you know Cecil was lured from his protected home and shot with a bow and arrow, then later beheaded and skinned for his hide. This lion was one of hundreds of endangered species killed for sport in sub-Saharan Africa each year, and his beloved status among tourists and researchers set off a social media firestorm.

Putting aside the tragedy of this majestic animal’s loss, one other thing struck us about the media coverage on Cecil and the now infamous Walter Palmer. Dr. Palmer was, and remains a practicing dentist.

The career of this trophy hunter was reported in every single article on Cecil we could find, and is mentioned in every piece of video coverage we saw. A search on Google for ‘Dentist’ or ‘Dentist News’ returns article after article on the hunter and his now closed dental practice. Palmer has gone into hiding after releasing a brief statement. He and his family received death threats, his practice was inundated with bad reviews and an extradition attempt is now underway.

We certainly don’t condone trophy hunting, legal or otherwise, and hope this media coverage leads to a discussion about endangered animals, and animal rights in general. Yet, the flurry of articles about Cecil and Palmer got us to thinking about how dentists are portrayed in the media.

Several of our dental offices have expressed a desire to make statements condemning Palmer’s actions, as if as dentists, they needed to go on the defensive. This is a natural reaction for those of us in the dental profession. After all, from a sound bite perspective, Palmer the dentist has become as much a part of the headline as Palmer the lion hunter.

Dealing with negative media coverage is nothing new to dental professionals. Search for ‘dentist’ in the news and you’ll be hit with stories about how rich dentists are, how a dentist in the US was arrested for mistreating patients or how dentists are more likely to commit suicide than people in other professions. It is rare to see a positive story about dentists making breakthroughs or helping patients improve their quality of life.

The picture the media paints is not a complete one. Dentists are medical professionals – caregivers who dedicate their lives to helping others. The negativity some people feel towards dentists and dentistry is largely misplaced, and media has done little to help change those misconceptions.

Consider that many dentists in movies or television are portrayed as inept, mean spirited or even cruel.

Consider that the dentist’s office is still considered a scary place to many children, who learn at an early age to fear needles and drills – even though such things are used less and less in a modern practice. In fact, visiting the dentist today is often times a painless experience – and a positive one, when you take care of your teeth.

The stigma goes back decades, to another time, when dentistry was still struggling to come into a modern age. Screeching drills, uncaring grumpy doctors and a tendency to wait for something to break before bothering to fix it made for a pretty gruesome experience in the chair. Over generations we passed that experience on to our children, and because oral health is not covered by government insurance, the dollar cost of going to the dentist has continued to send the wrong message to many people.

Consider that dentistry is by far the most affordable aspect of health care when compared to the true cost of many medical treatments. And, now more than ever before we know that dentistry is closely linked to overall health. Dentists themselves go to school for years just like other doctors, and are regulated just as firmly. Dentists do make a good income, but like many doctors and lawyers, it’s a misconception that most dentists are rich. Many of us spend years paying back loans, just like other professionals, and unlike doctors in a hospital, dentists pay for the equipment we use, sometimes to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We’re not saying you should feel bad for dentists or others working in the dental profession. We chose careers in the field because we love it. We want to see our patients smile and we love to make a difference in their lives. And just like you, we want to raise our families in healthy, vibrant communities.

We hope it doesn’t surprise you that at 123 Dentist, hundreds of dental professionals work to make a difference at home and abroad. We give back to our communities both in and out of the office. Take these clinics, for example…

Greenline Dental Centre in Coquitlam Centre mall supports cultural events at Evergreen Cultural Centre and Coquitlam General & Sedation Dentistry donated over $120,000 in dental services to mothers for smile makeovers.

This August ValleyFair Dental and Maple Place Dental in Maple Ridge will take part in The Ride To Conquer Cancer and Coppersmith Dental in Richmond just finished Mudderella for charity. Wesbrook Village Dental supports Mom & Tot Play Groups to help young children become more comfortable with dentistry and Meadowtown Dental in Pitt Meadows supported the Rhett Syndrome Walk.

Nearby Meadowvale Family Dental entertains children from local schools to put them at ease about dentistry and Willow Dental Abbotsford was just awarded the URoc Award for supporting troubled youth. And Willowbrook Dental competed in Colour Me Rad in support of LAPS, the Langley Animal Protection Society.

That’s just to name a few clinics in our network doing good in their community.

Field Trip

The entire 123 Dentist network has supported the BC Cancer Foundation with free VELscope Cancer screenings and donations. We support dental education at UBC, various sports teams in the lower mainland and stood up against bullying with Pink Shirt Day. Recently we launched a FREE 24/7 Dental hotline and opened Stayte Dental, a new low-income dental clinic where dentists volunteer to offer more affordable care.

Abroad, many of our clinics are equally active. Willoughby Town Centre Dental provided relief in Haiti and Harbour Centre Dental took a team of dental professionals to open a clinic for locals in Guatemala. South Point Dental even supported a new home for a family in need through the Cambodian Children’s waiting room

Which brings us back to where this all started, with Dr. Palmer and Cecil the Lion. Media coverage in the digital age is often troubling, regardless of what your profession is. For us, this terrible series of events put dentists in an unfavourable spotlight yet again, and we wanted to take the time to address that. Our hope is that when you consider visiting the dentist, your first thought is for the daughter who got braces so she can have straight teeth in high school, or for the grandparent who received new implants and a brand new youthful smile.

Don’t think of Dr. Palmer, who took something away from the world, think about all of the dentists and clinics that are giving back. Together, we can bring light to what’s really important, because we’re a giving organization of dentists who love to make a difference in the community around us.

If you’d like to learn more about issues of trophy hunting and animal rights, we encourage you to consider becoming involved in one of these worthy organizations.

41st Memorial Service 2017 Summary

2017 Forty One years after the 1976 Big Thompson flood, people who had never attended the memorial service, are still blessing us with their presence. All of the stories of where, when and what they were doing that night, are both heart wrenching and amazing to hear.

The program consisted of some of our favorites, Daryle Klassen, Jerry Shaffer, and Pastor Paul Logue. Bob Graham graciously agreed to share his memories of that night with us. He spoke through the tears as he relived that fateful night when he lost his mother Clara, wife Bev and daughters Teresa and Lisa. By the grace of God and Bob’s will to survive he made it through the darkness and into the morning light. Thank you, Bob, for having the courage to share your experience with us.

The Big Thompson Memorial Scholarship fund was honored to present four scholarships last year. The recipients were as follows: Drew Lang, Haley Haskell, Trenton Drake Allison, and Shannon Peistrup. We have been so blessed to be able to continue presenting the Scholarships, and will continue as long as there are funds to do so.

At the end of the service, the BTCFM board asked for a show of hands giving two choices, the first being to continue having a service each year as we have in the past, or have a potluck with folks bringing a covered dish. It was decided that we would look forward to having the covered dish for the next couple of year and look at having a more structured services on the 45thand 50th anniversaries. We will keep you updated as the years go by. We don’t want to lose contact with any of you so if any of you get a new Email or call, please contact us  Barbie39btc@yahoo.com or 970-667-6465.

The BTVFD have been so gracious to let us to use their building the past few year, The volunteer firemen keep an eye on the Memorial, and scoop snow when we can’t get up there. We are so blessed to have them looking out for the Memorial. If you see a can sitting out for donations to the firemen stick a few dollars in to show your appreciation.

For the 2018 gathering, we will have a time of remembering the lost, and presentation of the Scholarships. We have 4 scholarships to be presented, which is exciting. In changing the way we are doing this, you’re loved one’s will always be remembered. Likely on the 45th and the 50th we will have a service with a program. You can call me at 970-667-6465 or Marlene 303-683-2832 if you have any questions or suggestions. See you on the 31st at 7:00 PM.

How To Play Live Roulette

You can get up close and personal with every spin of the wheel and run of the ball through multi-camera live broadcasting.

Playing Live Roulette: What You Can Expect

Players will first enter a deluxe online lobby when they join the server on their chosen device. From here, you will get a seamless transition onto the live roulette table of your choosing. You will have a wagering panel on-screen, from which you can place your bets. You will also be able to see the professional live croupiers, who guide players through every spin of the wheel.

Professional Live Roulette Dealers

As all NetEnt roulette games have land-based resorts at their core, they have the most authentic feel you will find anywhere. In keeping with this, the croupiers will remain professional and focused at all times. Don't expect them to greet you personally when you arrive, as this only distracts and slows down the flow of the games. Instead, let their expertise lead every spin and keep games flowing at full speed.

1.  If you are asking for proof of vaccine and had both in the UK under the NHS.

You can access your vaccination status in either of two ways.

Through the NHS app.  Proof of your Covid 19 vaccination status will be shown within the NHS app.  We recommend that you register with the app before booking international travel

By calling 119. If you do not have a smart phone and know the country you are travelling to requires Covid 19 vaccination status you can call the NHS helpline on 119 and ask for a letter showing your vaccinations to be posted to you.  This must be at least 5 working days after your second vaccination.  Allow 5 working days for the letter to get to you.

2.  If you want proof of vaccination but had either dose outside of the UK.

Send your surgery proof of vaccination.  This must include type of vaccine, date given and batch number.  The surgery can add this to your medical record, and it will be on your file as an immunisation, but it will not appear on the NHS app under covid vaccination status.  It will only appear in your immunisation history.  There is currently not a central mechanism for capturing details of vaccinations administered outside of England.  Only vaccines delivered in the UK can be accepted as evidence for UK/Covid certificate/the NHS Covid Pass.   A technical solution to support the recording of vaccinations given outside of England is in development.

3.  If you had your vaccine at another clinic and it is not showing on your medical records/NHS app a week later.

Please send in your proof of vaccination with details of where it was given and we will follow this up with the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group.

4.  If you want an early 2nd vaccination for travel.

Unfortunately, a 2nd vaccination cannot be given early for travel reasons.  Current guidance is that there must be 8 weeks (56 days) between vaccinations.

NHS App problems.

If you need patient access linkage contact the surgery and we can supply this.  Please contact the NHS App help desk for any other support ( you can do this from the NHS APP itself)

We cannot provide letters showing your Covid 19 vaccination status, please do not contact us about this.

Google mobile-first indexing

Google’s Mobile-First Indexing – Does it Impact the SEO?

Each update that Google brings out is evidently its attempt to move a step closer to its ultimate goal – to provide the users with the best possible online search experience. That being said, the search giant keeps a close watch on the users’ search behaviours, for instance, how do they choose to interact with the search engine at any given time, what is it that’s been keeping them engaged, and much more. For digital marketers, however, this raises a curtain to a whole new avenue of nuances to take care of, requiring them to make certain changes on the website or search engine marketing strategies.

“Searching on the go” is not just a buzzword, but an indispensable necessity for millennials which quells their hunger for instant information while on the move. In view of this, Google has brought to the Internet search landscape another update – mobile-first indexing. It means exactly what it sounds like – Google will crawl and index the mobile version of your website first, and then the desktop version.

Please note that it doesn’t at all mean mobile-only. If your website doesn’t have a mobile version, Google will simply crawl the desktop version, as it was doing earlier.

Why Mobile-First Indexing?

The usage of mobile devices has skyrocketed to such a level that it now occupies 52.2% of overall online searches (i.e. more than desktop searches!). These staggering figures have, in a way, served as an impetus for Google’s launch of mobile-first indexing strategy.

As stated earlier, mobile-first indexing implies that if you have both mobile and desktop websites for your business, Google will start with indexing the mobile website and then go on with the desktop version. Simply put, the mobile version will now be viewed as a “primary version” of your website, as opposed to the desktop version which has now shifted to the “second” position. Up till now, the desktop version was the “primary version” for Google indexing.

What changes do you need to make to accommodate this update?

Change often brings along with it some hand-wringing and upheaval, but this one doesn’t, as you may not have to make any major changes. Here are some pertinent action steps that you may or may not require to bring forth, based on your specific instances:

  • In case you have a responsive web design, or the web pages were developed in AMP HTML, and/or the content has been optimized for mobile, the change should not have any major impact on your website’s performance in search engine results. This is due to the fact that the mobile version is identical to the desktop version.
  • When you have dynamic web content, i.e. the content varies depending on different devices and users, the mobile website will be indexed first.
  • If the website entails both AMP and non-AMP web pages, Google will index the non-AMP mobile version of the website first.
  • Mobile-first indexing does away with the traditional practice wherein the index and rank were divided between both the versions of a website and hence the need for a responsive web design. However, now, if you have two different URLs for your website, it means Google will index the mobile site first followed up by the desktop website. As a result, you won’t miss out on any amount of indexing and ranking.

How will it impact your SEO?

More or less, the best practices remain the same, though there are some implications to pay heed to while riding out this change. Here is a breakdown of top 4 practices to follow if you have a separate mobile website:

  • Website Content: Make sure both versions of the website are loaded with identical valuable, high-quality content, including images, text and videos. The formats deployed on the mobile website should be indexable and crawlable, and this also encompasses alt-attributes for images.
  • Structured Data: Just like content, the same structured data markups should be included on both the desktop and mobile version of your website. Avoid adding irrelevant structured data that has nothing to do with your website.
  • Metadata: The meta description and title should be “equivalent” on both the versions. Please note that the guideline says equivalent, not identical, which means you could still optimize the mobile titles to ensure shorter character counts, however you’ll have to ensure to include the relevant keywords and similar information.
  • Server Capacity: If the mobile version of your website is run on a separate host (such as, take care that it can handle the increased crawl rate. Hosting occupies great significance as it is the key determining factor in a website’s loading speed, and thus contributes to the website ranking.

To put it all together, the mobile-first index is just a change to the way the content is gathered by Google for indexing. If the web content and page overall are mobile friendly, the website is likely to have a higher ranking in search results whenever users are searching on their mobile devices.

Each kind of leather presents specific characteristics that change according to the kind of tanning process. For this reason it is not possible to generalize the best way to take care of a leather good. We can give though some useful instructions for each of the kinds of leather described above.

Cow Hide, vegetable tanned leather and chrome tanned leather

Use a dry and clean cloth to gently brush the leather with the aid of a small amount of cleansing cream (the one used to clean your face will be fine IF IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ALCOHOL). Use neutral shoe or leather polish to moisturize from time to time.

Nabuk / Full grain leather

Carefully brush this kind of leather with a clean, well wrung wet sponge (TAKE CARE NOT TO WET THE LEATHER TOO MUCH). Do not use cleansing cream or polish, Nabuk leather is quite porous and tends to get stains and halos if treated with them. Let the leather naturally dry without using heat.

Firmly rub using a brush (a shoe brush will be perfect if the bristles are not too hard) or gently use the specific suede rubbers. Do not wet with water and do not use cleansing cream or polish.

Asset protection is probably the primary requirements for creating a fixed responsibility company (“LLC”). LLCs present two types of resource protection: (1) protecting typically the members from the liabilities in the company (sometimes known as protection from “inside liabilities”) in addition to (2) protecting the assets in the LLC from typically the debts in the members (sometimes called protection from “outside liabilities”).
If an LLC is the owner of a rental house as well as the tenant sues the LLC because they slipped and even fell into down the stairways, this is an example of a great inside liability. The normal rule is that this tenant may sue typically the LLC, however they cannot head out after the investments involving the members unless they will pierce the corporate veil from the LLC. Piercing this business veil is incredibly challenging to accomplish. The test for a piercing from the corporate veil may possibly range slightly from state to state, but usually the particular tenant must show of which the LLC is the particular alter-ego of the member, and that the member has not treated often the LLC as a separate plus distinct legitimate enterprise. For the reason that legal guidelines protecting the particular participants from an in liability are very similar in every single state, the tool security against inside liabilities is related regardless of in which the LLC is archived.
If a member is the physician and it is sued for malpractice, the lender may attempt to follow the assets of typically the LLC in order in order to collect on the view. This is the example of another liability mainly because a collector of an fellow member is seeking to end up in the LLC through the particular new member. The remedies readily available to the creditor of a good member differ tremendously through state to state. Within some areas, the collector of a new member has a right to go ahead and foreclose around the associates interest together with become the owner of it. Inside other states, often the collector of a member is bound to a asking for order. A good charging order is a the courtroom order which requires the LLC for you to pay any distributions that will otherwise would have recently been paid to the member straight to the creditor. A new recharging order is not necessarily a good technique the collector because the collector is only entitled to be able to don in the event the LLC chooses to make a supply; a creditor cannot push a distribution to turn out to be made. Therefore, an LLC gives you greater asset security when it is governed by typically the laws of your jurisdiction that will strictly limits the solutions of a lender.
do you need an LLC for an online business?
Nearly all if not all claims comply with the “internal extramarital affairs doctrine” established by typically the United States Supreme Courtroom. This doctrine tells the fact that the internal affairs connected with the company are governed by means of the laws in the state where the corporation is usually filed, not the legal guidelines where the company activities take place or perhaps exactly where the members can be found. Inside fact, most states have a very lawful provision stating that this internal affairs of a good LLC are governed by simply the laws of the particular legislation where the LLC was filed. This indicates that if an LLC will be filed in Ak and also a California resident sues a further California resident who is a associate connected with the Alaska LLC intended for a tort committed in California, the issue like to whether often the creditor can get facts as well as assets from the LLC is definitely governed by way of this regulations of Alaska and not the laws and regulations associated with California. At some other words and phrases, the state just where the LLC is registered is critical in determining the particular asset protection presented from the LLC from outside financial obligations.
Another issue affecting the particular asset protection provided by an LLC is discretion. In most states, the associates and managers of an LLC are required to be revealed and contained in the state information which are available to the public. In other claims, the members and managers usually are not made a new element of the criminal record. A lot of people feel that these people have far better asset safety if the individuality connected with the members and supervisors are not really made community.
Acquiring studied the laws and regulations connected with any state around this regard, together with having read many academic content articles on the subject, the idea is my opinion the fact that Alaska gives the best asset safeguard against outdoors liabilities because they not really only restriction the remedies of some sort of creditor of a participant into a getting order, but they also prohibit a creditor through obtaining a court purchase to get inquiries, accountings or perhaps guidance (see Alaska Loi twelve. 50. 380). A few various other states expressly reduce often the remedies of a good creditor into a charging obtain,

What's Weather Got to Do With Your Restaurant's Operational Costs?

Jul 4, 2017 12:21:17 PM

Weather and restaurant operational costs

You should love the temperature, lighting and air quality controls in your restaurant. Your building management system (BMS) should be proactive or at least responsive to changing weather conditions. But is it? Do you love it?

Tina Turner sings that "Love is but a sweet old fashioned notion. What's love got to do with it? Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?"

If your BMS and your employees are your heart, and "weather" stands in for "love," we assure you that weather has a heck of a lot to do with your restaurant's operational costs. The best BMS will set its tune to the weather, and you should be able to love it!

Buildings Are as Dynamic as the Weather

Your building is affected by the sun and weather, much as you and everything else on earth are affected.

In the morning, as the sun rises, the east and south sides of your building heat up while the west side stays cooler. The number of windows on exterior walls, the partitions in your building, insulation and airflow all play significant roles in the heating and cooling of your building throughout the day.

By midday, most of your building experiences heating from solar gain. In the afternoon through evening, the roles are reversed for the west and east sides of your building. What do you think happens during an overcast day, when there is a storm or when the season's change?

Does your building automatically adjust to these changes? Or, is it set to one predetermined setting for each season?

Your building, employees and guests are all dynamic, just as the weather each day is dynamic. A smart, software-based building management system synced to a local weather feed can optimize the energy efficiency and comfort of your restaurant and provide you a very short payback period.

Optimizing Your Restaurant's BMS for Weather, Comfort and Energy Efficiency

75F Cooling and Energy Efficiency Study

Pictured above is a graph of real data from a 75F customer. As you can see, the smart building management system saved the customer 32% in energy consumption related to cooling costs in the summer months.

Beyond dynamically responding to weather throughout each day, the smart BMS can analyze data collected during the events of each day and combine it with your local weather forecast. This process allows the system to map the thermal model of your building, which enables airflow from your HVAC system to be supplied only to when and where it is needed.

Outside air intake is optimized for quality and temperature. The pressure of both your kitchen and dining area can be monitored separately to prevent pressure imbalances, which can have adverse effects on staff and guests if outside air intake and your exhaust system are not in harmony.

Your restaurant achieves maximum indoor comfort, improved air quality and energy savings throughout the year. The time and costs given to your restaurant's BMS can be reduced up to 50%, as the entire system is automated and can be monitored remotely via a cloud-based solution through a Web portal or mobile app.

You may also be able to save on advanced lighting solutions that can run on smart schedules that are responsive to weather, sunrise and sunset. As HVAC and lighting likely account for over 50% of your energy costs, as they do in most commercial buildings and restaurants, the operational cost savings are substantial.

The subject of ethics has not been explored extensively by the clinical laboratory community, but a scientific session at the 71st AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo in Anaheim, California, Ethical Issues in Laboratory Medicine (32101), plans to start a conversation on this topic. The speakers will present the core principles of biomedical ethics, then use case studies to frame these principles and weigh the risks and benefits of difficult situations.

Session speaker Ann Gronowski, PhD, DABCC, a professor of pathology and immunology and obstetrics and gynecology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, suspects that labs haven’t paid much attention to ethics due to a lack of contact with patients. Nonetheless, labs are still involved in patient care—and can face difficult ethical decisions. “Like other medical professionals, laboratorians have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of our patients,” Gronowski told CLN Stat.

Moderated by Carey-Ann Burnham, PhD, D(ABMM), FIDSA, F(AAM), professor of pathology and immunology, molecular microbiology, and pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine, the session will explore ethical issues involving emerging infections and clinical laboratories. Gronowski will discuss the basics of biomedical ethics, review the history of biomedical ethics, and the core principles of modern biomedical ethics, including autonomy, beneficence (nonmaleficence), and justice. Sheldon Campbell, PhD, MD, professor of laboratory medicine at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, will examine the interface of ethics related to emerging infections and clinical laboratories.

The plan is to discuss incidental findings with clinically actionable results, Gronowski said. “This is when a laboratory gets important results to tests that were not actually ordered by a physician,” she elaborated. “Healthcare professionals need to weigh the risks and benefits of disclosing results that were not ordered and respect the rights of patients to not know certain results.”

The speakers will also discuss the rights that subjects have to withdraw from research studies and the rights that patients have to refuse laboratory testing, situations that potentially generate conflict between patient autonomy and the duty for healthcare professionals to act with beneficence, Gronowski explained. Campbell will discuss specifically the ethical difficulties that arise with emerging disease outbreaks such as Ebola. “In these cases, the rights of patients to quality healthcare have to be weighed against the risk to healthcare workers. Dr. Campbell will talk about risk assessment in these difficult cases,” said Gronowski.

Both speakers plan to use actual case studies to illustrate their points, asking the audience how they would handle various sessions. Ethics don’t always present clear cut right and wrong answers, Gronowski emphasized. “Options need to be discussed, and the best solution is determined based on the individual circumstances,” she said. “We will also discuss alternative solutions and resources that laboratorians can use as they deal with difficult ethical cases.”

Gronowski’s interest in ethics came about from her own experiences with error disclosure, incidental findings, and patients refusing certain types of testing. “I learned a lot when dealing with those cases and that led to a few publications on the ethical considerations involved in the decisionmaking process,” she said. Presenting a symposium was another way for her to share what she learned with a wider audience. “Dr. Burnham and I gave a similar session last year at the American Society of Microbiology, and it was very well-attended with great discussion. We thought that this type of content would also be of interest to AACC attendees.”

This 71st AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo session will take place August 5 from 10:30 a.m. to noon and is worth 1.5 ACCENT credit hours.

Once your 30-day implementation period is complete, you will receive an email from the AAFP requesting you to log in. At this point, the "Next Step" button will be active.

    Evaluate the Performance Improvement Effort

    Q: How will I know when it is time to return to the online METRIC module for my reassessment phase?

    A: Your reassessment date will be provided at the end of your Action Plan submission. The online METRIC module will send participants an email reminder prior to the reassessment task. It is also recommended that you mark this reassessment date on your personal calendar as a checkpoint for your project.

    Q: When conducting my reassessment, is it required to use the same 10-15 patient charts used to create my baseline in Stage A?

    A: No. Use of the same 10-15 patient charts is not required in order to complete your reassessment chart review. The key factor in selecting charts for reassessment is to utilize charts from patients seen after implementing your Action Plan.

    Completing METRIC

    Q: How will the ABFM know that I have fulfilled the Performance Improvement Activities requirement?

    A: When the final step of Stage C has been completed in the online METRIC tool, you must complete the seven evaluation questions in order to have your 20 CME credits applied. Your completion record will be electronically transmitted to the ABFM within one week of completion. If you believe there has been an issue with the transferal of your completion record beyond this time period, please contact us.

Periodontal cases: The basics

Gingivitis – Stage 1

Gingivitis is the beginning stage of periodontal disease in which inflammation is confined to the gingival soft tissues only. This inflammation does not clinically extend into the alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, or cementum. Gingivitis can be present without periodontitis. Periodontal disease can exist without gingivitis in an area of previous periodontitis that has been treated and controlled, relieving inflammation but not attachment loss.

Periodontitis – Progression of Gingivitis

Periodontal disease is the most common oral disease in dogs and cats. It is important to understand the cause, diagnosis, and treatment options based on assessment to be successful with periodontal treatment.

Within minutes of teeth scaling and polishing, a layer of glycoprotein (acquired pellicle) attaches to the exposed crown surface. Hours later, aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria (including Actinomyces and Streptococcus) colonize the glycoprotein layer, forming plaque. Calculus is formed by mineralization of plaque and food debris. Calculus is covered with bacteria, thus playing a role in maintaining and accelerating periodontal disease by keeping plaque in close contact with the gingival tissues and decreasing the potential for repair and new attachment.

The progression of periodontal disease is dependent on the complex regulatory interaction between bacteria and immune modulators of the host response. Animals that have compromised health often cannot fight periodontal pathogens

Early periodontitis - Stage 2 (PD2)

Occurs when there is less than 25% loss of attachment of alveolar bone on the root. At most, stage 1 furcation involvement exists.

Periodontal therapy for stage 2 early periodontitis includes removing irritants and debris from the tooth surfaces and periodontal pockets through subgingival and supragingival dental scaling. Pocketing defects can be treated with locally administered antimicrobials.

Moderate periodontitis - Stage 3 (PD3)

Occurs when there is between 25-50% tooth support loss. Treatment includes thorough dental scaling both above and below (up to 5 mm) the gingival margin. For pockets deeper than 5 mm, surgical flap exposure can be performed to allow access to remove plaque and calculus from the root. Placement of a local antibiotic can help rejuvenate periodontal tissues and may reduce pocket depth. Extraction of the affected tooth is recommended in cases where stringent plaque control will not be accomplished.

In cases where there is marked gingival recession, mucogingival surgery can be performed to decrease the rate of disease progression. A lateral sliding flap can be used to cover the exposed defect.

Advanced periodontitis - Stage 4 (PD4)

Occurs when greater than 50% support loss is diagnosed. In cases of moderate and advanced periodontal disease, surgery is usually indicated to either (1) extract the tooth (teeth) where the client will not agree to home care for ongoing plaque control, or (2) provide mucogingival surgery to decrease pocket depth.

Frequently asked questions

  • CCTV - Professional equipment Vs Retail brands
We have all heard the expression "you get what you pay for" which is true most of the time. However the retail brands have
fantastic marketing designed to fool you into believing their system is much better than they really are.
None of the retailers use the brands they sell! Go check for yourself. There can only be one reason for this!
We only deal with pro level equipment at ASG and here is why:
-  First and foremost make sure you are not comparing "apples to oranges". The cheap $400 kits you see in retail stores are analogue systems with very poor quality cabling not capable of running a camera of any higher quality. These cameras are often 720p/1080p and not comparable to the high quality HD cameras we supply and install.
- Correct hardware is very important. All of our systems use "surveillance spec" hard drives which are designed to run 24/7 as required in a CCTV system.
- Pricing. When comparing retail IP systems Vs our pro IP systems, most people are surprised to find the prices are very much on par.
Our commercial quality systems are undeniably being better in all areas, all of which we can explain in great detail if required.
  • Picture quality. See it with your own eyes with a free obligation free site demonstration
  • Warranty (retails products usually 1 year, our equipment ranges from 2-4 years)
  • Reliability. do your research on the retail/eBay brands.
  • IP ratings (the level of water and dust resistance per device)
  • Camera chipsets (The electronics that differ a cheap 4mp from a quality 4mp)
  • Hard disk capacity to you requirements (surveillance spec drives, designed to run 24/7)
  • Cabling. We use only highest of quality cabling like Garland Cat5e and Cat6 cable.
  • Upgradability's. Cat5e is capable of running any cameras available in the world. Cat6 is 10x faster than that!
  • Post sales support. We have local technicians available for questions, advice, programming or site visits.
  • What is the difference between IP cameras and Analog?
The advances in electronics have led us to high speed data over ethernet cable. While we do have HDCVI - 8mp/4k quality available over coax, we use those only to upgrade existing analogue systems if the current cabling is compatible.
Cat5e/Cat6 cable is very commonly used in internet points in any house or business. Capable of speeds higher than any camera currently on the market and is around half the price of coax combo cable. Future upgrades are very simple because ethernet cable is the cabling of the future! There is little if any R+D time being spent on trying to get higher quality across coax. If you are thinking long term future, Cat6 is a slightly more expensive option, but its capabilities are 10x that of Cat5e.
On top of this, most IP equipment is POE compatible (Power over ethernet), meaning the device (in this case a camera) is powered by the NVR (recorder) and no other power supply is required. So we now have NO power supply failures making the IP range even more reliable
So its CHEAPER, MORE RELIABLE, and set up for FUTURE UPGRADES. If an installer recommends a "new analog system", we highly recommend a new installer!
  • I have a analog system currently installed, what are my options and why should I upgrade
As it stands we can upgrade you to an 8mp (4k) DVR over a good quality coax cable. We use digital cameras that send data to the limits of the cable. The quality of these systems is fantastic and is a huge upgrade in video quality at a very reasonable price.
Some of the "better" analog systems in recent years were 720p HD quality. (under 1 mega pixel). This is like comparing an old DVD to a HD Blu-ray DVD when compared to the 4mp or 8mp currently available.
PLEASE NOTE: these cameras will NOT run across the very thin cables supplied with "CCTV kits" purchased from retails stores and online auction sites etc. Unfortunately for those systems, you are already at your limit and we would recommend re-cabling to IP equipment.
  • Will my alarm (new or existing) work with the NBN?
Most alarm panels were designed to utilise the old copper line technology way before the NBN was ever thought about. In practice some do work however may prove to be intermittent. Alarm and Surveillance Group highly recommend not trusting your security to mismatched technology and using a 3G or 4G dialler in place of the hard wired line, which gives the added bonus of removing the ability to "cut the phone line" by a would-be intruder
  • Hardwired or Wireless? and what is the radio range of wireless?
Simply put, Hardwire everything you can, Use wireless when running cables is impossible. Radio range is a very tricky question as it is very dependent on the environment. Any metal (concrete reinforcement, metal framed houses, metal cabinets etc) all work as a shield (faraday) against radio transmissions, radio "noise" is also possible from various sources. There is also the ongoing batteries to replace every 3-5 years.
  • Can I use my alarm remote to control my gate and/or roller door too?

YES! We have a few options available for 4 button remote controls that will arm/disarm and control 2 other outputs of choice (gate, roller door/s, lights etc). No cable going from the house to the electric gate? NO PROBLEM! We have stand alone options available that require nothing but power from the gate!

Alarm and Surveillance Group are a family owned and operated business, offering security solutions to residential and commercial properties.

MJ Rodriguez Makes History As First Trans Person To Earn Lead Emmy Nomination

Submitted by Marathon on Wed, 07/14/2021 - 19:22

“Pose” left the ballroom with a clutch of Emmy nominations. The groundbreaking FX show about ballroom culture in the 1980s and ’90s ended its third and final season with nods for Billy Porter and Mj Rodriguez — the first trans performer up for a major acting Emmy — and a best drama series nomination, its second. The series from creators Steven Canals and Ryan Murphy made history with its historic casting of transgender actors to play trans characters. The series took on transphobia, racism and the AIDS epidemic. GLAAD and a number of LGBTQ+ organizations pressed for recognition from Emmy voters this year in an open letter, saying “if there was any moment to show solidarity and support for the performers and characters who are leading the change, now would be that time.”

Critically adored but ignored by the Golden Globe voters, “I May Destroy You” roared back to earn nine Emmy nominations. Michaela Coel’s exploration of rape and its aftermath earned her a lead actor nod and the show a best limited or anthology series nomination. The series, which is made up of 12 half-hour episodes, explores the question of sexual consent in contemporary life. Coel plays Arabella Essiedu, a care-free Londoner whose life changes after her drink is spiked with a date-rape drug. The co-production between the BBC and HBO won best mini-series and leading actress for Coel at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards. After it failed to get a Golden Globe nod, a writer for the Netflix series “Emily In Paris” publicly said that “I May Destroy You” deserved a Golden Globe nomination over her own show.

New year resolutions

January 4, 2016

We all have made them. Most of us make our resolution and we might even put some thought into it. However, the vast majority of us don’t really follow through very well. Why is that? It’s human nature. We’re busy. Life is hectic. We have lots of other things that interfere with our new, improved way of life. After a couple months, we’re often back to the status quo (old way). How do we fix this? The answers are really quite simple.

  • Have concrete resolutions…if my resolution is to be healthier in 2016, this is vague. Make a much more concrete resolution like “I’m going to the gym 3x per week”…this is my goal.
  • Write it out and give it to someone who will check up on you…nothing beats accountability when it comes to lifestyle change. It’s kinda tough to hear “you need to get your butt moving” from your accountability friend (or person). When two people are focused on the goal, you don’t bear all the weight and responsibility.
  • Be realistic. “I’m going have abdominoplasty, breast lift and thigh plasty in 2016”…maybe too much and unobtainable.
  • Schedule…put it on your calendar like it’s a really important appointment. If it really needs to be changed in your life, doesn’t it deserve some ongoing dedicated appointment times to work on it?

Managing Holidays after Bariatric Surgery

August 14, 2013

With Labor Day just around the corner, many Americans and especially those who have had bariatric surgery will be struggling with the question of how to eat and drink in moderation during their time off. The temptation is to allow our diet and exercise regimens to fall by the wayside for one day and pick back up tomorrow. However, it doesn’t take much for one day of indulgence to turn into a week or a month. Having to fight back the extra pounds is far more difficult than prevention in the first place.
