Pearl Harbor had impact on media

Comment   Email   Print
Related Articles

Last week, Dec. 7 marked the 75th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Many people recall hearing James Daley make the news announcement about the attack, and today that tape is standard fare in history and broadcasting classes.

But what is also interesting is the effect the attack had on American media.

Remember, these were the days before television, and for many people, the only video was in the news reels shown in movie theaters. But curiously, there was no film of the attack released for more than a year after the event. The stark scenes were deemed too intense for American audiences, and it was felt the demoralizing images would hurt the war effort.

Another side-effect was the creation of the Office of Censorship, under the direction of Byron Price of the Associated Press. The office was established a few days after the attack, and a month later issued guidelines for voluntary censorship.

Price and his staff drew up a short list of guidelines, which included such suggestions as coastal radio not giving completely accurate weather forecasts so as to not help the enemy plan an attack.

The office worked directly with newspaper and radio reporters, and there were few conflicts between freedom of the press and the need to keep military secrets away from the enemy.

In many cases Price stood up again restrictions the military tried to place on the news media, and in several instances convinced President Roosevelt and the War Department to increase the flow of information coming from Europe and the Pacific.

Other forms of media got behind the war effort, as Hollywood, for instance, turned out a whole series of feature films and shorts designed to both entertain and build morale on the home front. Names such as Walt Disney and Frank Capra immediately come to mind.

It is estimated there were about 84,000 military personnel on Oahu that Dec. 7. Today there are only about 2,000 Pearl Harbor veteran survivors meaning more effort must be made to keep the memory alive. That's because the attack on Pearl Harbor did more than simply get us into the war. It brought the specter of war home to a complacent and self-satisfied America, and forever changed the relations between the media and the government, changes that would last all the way into this century.

LOS FELIZ—The home where Charles Manson murdered supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary, has been listed on the market. The two bedroom, 1.5 bath home was built in 1922 and is approximately 1,655 square feet.

“This classic 1920’s Los Feliz gated single story home with a pool is nestled in the prime location north of the Rowena Reservoir. Featuring front views of the Silver Lake hills and Downtown Los Angeles, while the rear offers Griffith Park, Glendale and the majestic San Gabriel Mountains,” said Redfin Real Estate describing the property.

“You may never want to leave, but when you do, you are minutes away from Griffith Park Observatory and trails, trendy eateries and entertainment. The large yard features space made for entertaining or relaxation. Truly, one of a kind,” the listing notes.

Four of Manson’s followers murdered LaBianca and his wife inside the home in 1969. The couple was murdered on August 10, a day following the murder of actress Sharon Tate, who was also killed by members of the Manson “family.”

“The occurrence of an occupant’s death upon the real property or the manner of death where the death has occurred more than three years prior to the date the transferee offers to purchase, lease, or rent the real property,” states the California State Legislative code 1710.2.

The price of the home is currently listed at $1,988,800. Records show the last time the home was purchased was in 1998 for $375,000. House tours are now being provided for the home.

Stateside’s take on French Vietnam by way of Capitol Hill joins the mix in Melrose

(Images: Stateside)

(Images: Stateside)

When CHS stopped by former Rookie of the Year Mamnoon (now growing into Melrose MVP status), the street in front of the new-era Middle Eastern restaurant was torn to hell as a City of Seattle crew installed a new gas line for a new restaurant around the corner that will likely be the next bright young superstar to emerge at the bottom of Capitol Hill.

Stateside has its utilities — with help from the mayor *and* the governor — and is ready for its debut on Pike with a soft opening this Thanksgiving weekend. Bring your opening weekend patience and prepare for a trip to Viêt-Nam.

CHS first broke the news on the French-Vietnamese venture from first-time Seattle restauranteur Eric Johnson in April:

We couldn’t be more pleased — just serendipity that we got it,” Johnson tells CHS about the 2,400 square-foot restaurant space being built where offices and parking used to be hidden away in the old building behind the McMennamins tavern. “We really, really wanted an old building. Now we’re going to have to live up to the best concentration of restaurants in Seattle.”

The food?

Chef Eric Johnson’s resume is…pretty damn impressive. He worked for Daniel Boulud in New York before opening restaurants for Jean-Georges Vongerichten in Paris and Shanghai. Having lived in two countries that exerted no small influence over the food of Vietnam, he’s readying a mix of faithfully executed Vietnamese staples and dishes that take some French and Chinese liberties.

Handling the front of the house is Stateside partner Seth Hammond, formerly of Lisa Dupar Catering. Behind the bar, you’ll find George Engelstad, formerly at the Hideout.

They join neighbors already creating a solid food and drink destination at the base of Capitol Hill and expanding the idea of Melrose beyond the Melrose Market. They’ll soon have more company. The massive project to create the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in the former art store and Volvo dealership at the corner of Pike and Melrose will open in early December along with a new Serious Pie from serial big project restauranteur Tom Douglas.

Stateside is located at 300 E Pike. You can learn more at

  1. Nom, nom! Tried a few dishes at Stateside tonight and the food was incredible. The short rib melts in your mouth. The daikon and cucumber salad was very refreshing. My partner and I also shared the parfait for dessert and we both commented how it was the best we’ve had in recent memory. If you get Lana as a waitress – she has a French accent – you will have great customer service. This restaurant will do well with all the other amazing restaurants in the Melrose Triangle. Welcome to the neighborhood!

SnippETS for 13 December 2018

December 13, 2018

Welcome to our last SnippETS newsletter for 2018.

In this issue of SnippETS we introduce disruptive change. Change can occur at many levels, but it is at its most profound when it is a groundswell of grass roots initiated and supported ideology and passion. So it is, when the largest New Zealand media outlet Stuff launches a series of articles on taking action on climate change and global protests by students demanding the same. Change is in the air.We also examine further proof that the demise of coal as a thermal fuel is well underway and that gas is not far behind, as the rise of renewables coupled with storage is rapidly replacing them as the generation of the time.

We start this week’s snippETS with some far reaching and emotive climate change coverage from Stuff’s Editor in Chief, Patrick Crewdson. While many of us are in agreement that a lot needs to be done to curb climate change, collectively we are remaining complacent. This series of articles by Stuff hopes to change this ‘she’ll be right’ attitude towards climate change action by looking at the facts surrounding the impact of climate change and spark healthy debate on how we should react.Read more.....

Whilst NZ is finally taking steps to realistically address climate change, they are still in their infancy and nowhere as ambitious as many of those who will live to experience the worst impacts of our changing climate, today’s youth, are demanding. In what is a global movement, children from Canada, to Sweden, to Australia are calling on their politicians to step up and take real action on climate change. They may be too young to vote but they certainly have a voice. .Read more.....

One volunteer at the Australian Youth Climate coalition (Aisheeya Huq) shares her story on why she feels an obligation to participate in and contribute to the strike for climate change policy.  Until Scott Morrison, Australia’s new Prime Minister, does something about this she promises that Australian students will continue to strike more passionately and more frequently.  As Aisheeya says “Climate change is an issue with a ticking clock and the fact that adults and politicians are NOT doing enough is, simply put, repulsive”.

Facebook's Fact-Checking Efforts: Can They Be Effective?

Sizing Up the Impact of Initiatives to Curb Fake News
Facebook's Fact-Checking Efforts: Can They Be Effective?

It's far from clear whether Facebook's latest move to curb fake news in India ahead of the upcoming elections by expanding its engagement with third-party fact checkers will have much impact.

See Also: Maintain a Clear Bill of (Third-Party Risk) Health

Five new partners, including the India Today Group, a leading local media house, have been added to Facebook's fact-checker network in India, taking the total number to seven, Facebook says. The program has been broadened to cover services in more Indian languages.

Last year, the social media giant introduced a third-party fact-checking program in India with BOOM Live to combat the spread of "false news" on its platform with a pilot in Karnataka ahead of elections in that state.

But so far, Facebook has failed to offer any hard numbers on the impact the pilot project has had on reducing the spread of fake news. And Facebook did not respond to my request for comment.

Several security practitioners and cyber law experts tell me they see no evidence that Facebook's efforts to fight fake news in India or other countries have been successful (see: Are Facebook's Election-Related Moves in India Meaningful?).

"They have never openly spoken about the technology deployed by these fact checkers to curb fake news," says cybersecurity expert Sanjay Sahay, a senior police officer in Karnataka. "It is a question of intent. If Facebook being a technology company cannot come out with a proper solution for this menace, then it has no business to stay in this space."

'Take More Responsibility'

The fresh effort by Facebook to fight fake news comes after a pledge by its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, to "take more responsibility" over content shared on the internet platform.

This followed revelations last March that user data had been leaked to Cambridge Analytica, a research company that did work for U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign in 2016.

According to the Nikkei Asian Review, Facebook's efforts to fight the spread of fake news have stirred controversy in the Philippines, where the government of President Rodrigo Duterte has accused the social media company of partnering with parties critical of his administration.

Facebook is extremely popular in the Asia-Pacific region, as the chart below illustrates.

Brooke Binkowski, former managing editor of Snopes, which Facebook used in 2016 for fact checking in the U.S., says in a blog that fact checking for a social media service that is used by a huge chunk of the world's population is no easy task.

"We were given access to a tool that hooked into our personal Facebook accounts and was accessed that way and it spat out a long list of stories that had been flagged for checks," she writes. "We were free to ignore the list, or mark stories as 'true,' 'false' or 'mixture.' But no matter how many times we marked them 'false,' stories would keep resurfacing with nothing more than a word or two changed. This happened often enough to make it clear that our efforts weren't really helping."

Govindraj Ethiraj, BOOM Live founder, did not reply to my request for a description of how how it zeroes in on fake news items.

Last week, Snopes and the Associated Press said they had ended their fact-checking partnerships with Facebook in the U.S. after concluding the effort was not effective. They say that there was little clarity on how Facebook carried out the entire exercise and zero transparency.

What Can Be Done?

The government of India has proposed to put more responsibility on Facebook, WhatsApp and other social networks to cut down on fake news by asking them to remove objectionable content within 24 hours. But some question whether such a move would curb free speech.

"If fake news or sensitive news leads to deaths in the country, what internet freedom are we talking about?" Sahay asks. "How long can Facebook wash its hands of responsibilities? It [must] not take responsibility of content on its website."

Binkowski stresses that the major social media companies need to invest adequate resources to do a thorough job of fact checking that can have a real impact on curtailing the spread of fake news, especially news about the upcoming election.

Jiten Jain, CEO at the India InfoSec Consortium, a group of leading security experts, contends that Facebook's latest move to work with more fact checkers in India is largely a public relations effort.

"Facebook is not doing a favor by taking these steps. This is part of their responsibility," Jain says. "If they can leverage technology to monitor us every minute, I refuse to believe that they don't have the technology to curb the menace of fake news."

And it's important that Facebook provide tangible evidence that its efforts to crack down on fake news in India is having a real impact.

Khushi is improving children’s health

Khushi is improving children’s health

Twelve children between three and six years old recite this popular Hindi nursery rhyme about a fish in a sing-song voice, using their hands to illustrate their words. Five-year-old Dharma leads the group, his tiny hands mimicking the movements of a fish and its fate if taken out of water. As he gesticulates how the fish begins to swim again after being put back into the water, his voice suddenly becomes high-pitched and loud. Immediately, all heads turn towards him as the children break into peals of laughter.

The day has begun on a cheerful note at the Gathlia Kheda anganwadi centre in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan.

“When children are happy and keen to learn, it motivates us to do better. The children want to come to the centre. This is why we have almost full attendance and retention,” said Snehlata Sharma, anganwadi worker (AWW) at Gathlia Kheda anganwadi centre (AWC).

But it wasn’t always like this. Anganwadi centres in Rajasthan have been plagued by poor attendance of children and even poorer retention. This undermined the objectives of the government’s Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme to provide non-formal pre-school education and reduce maternal and childhood malnutrition through a network of community-level anganwadi centres, critical in a state like Rajasthan where there are 4,300 children, from six-month-old infants to five-year-olds, with severe acute malnutrition. But in many of these AWCs, a majority of the names of children are only on paper and anganwadi workers are unable to reach out to the children who need their services the most.

This is now changing thanks to a new collaboration between the state Department of Women and Child Development, Rajasthan, and CARE India, a non-profit working for the underprivileged. Called Khushi, this early childhood care and education programme, developed by the non-profit, is doing wonders to bring children from three to six years old to anganwadi centres and ensure they stay for the entire four hours, all six days a week. In doing so, the children are benefiting from nutritious meals and activities that develop their cognitive skills.

Launched in 2016 by CARE India, the initiative has reached out to 541 anganwadi centres in Bhilwara and Chittorgarh so far. The programme, funded by Hindustan Zinc under its corporate social responsibility initiative, focuses on enhancing the knowledge and skills of anganwadi workers to engage with children better and encourage them to come regularly. In Chittorgarh, enrolment has more than doubled, going up from 31 percent to 80 percent over the past year.

Much of it is due to the Khushi cluster coordinators who ensure that AWCs open and close on time. They keep an eye on the attendance, retention and health status of children with the help of a specially developed app to monitor each AWC. Based on the data sent through this app, the programme monitors the growth and development needs of the children.

“In fact, some children have returned to the AWCs a few weeks after being pulled out by their parents and enrolled in private schools. They forced their parents to bring them back. This is one of our happiest achievements,” said Akhilesh Dubey, programme manager, Khushi.

One of the biggest outcomes of increased attendance and retention has been the improved health of the children. Sharma, who has been working as an anganwadi worker for the past 22 years at the Gathlia Kheda centre, has witnessed the change. “They get hot meals cooked by Self-Help Groups (SHGs) of women. Many of the members of the SHG are mothers of the children enrolled at the anganwadi. This way we don’t have to worry about the quality of the food,” she said.

With one in five children being underweight in Rajasthan, combating malnutrition and undernutrition is an important aim of the initiative. Malnutrition in both Bhilwara and Chittorgarh districts is high. The percentage of children under five who are underweight is 44.8 percent in Bhilwara and 43.1 in Chittorgarh. (National Family Health Survey — 4)

Besides holding meetings for expecting mothers and community members to sensitise them to the advantages of exclusive breastfeeding and about newborn care, health camps and home visits are conducted to assess the health of children. Approximately 2,500 children have undergone health check-ups and kitchen gardens have been started at 154 AWCs and homes of children identified as malnourished during such camps.

Teaching anganwadi workers new recipes using the take-home rations given to children at the centres has also contributed to better nutritional status as they pass on these tips to the mothers. So far, 40 recipes have been shared. “Earlier, we fed the take-home rations to the cattle. But after learning new ways to cook it and by adding it to halwa or dal, we have seen how it has benefitted the health of our children,” said Sumitra Garg. Her son has been coming regularly to the anganwadi centre in Ghatiyawali, Chittorgarh, for the past two years. Garg is so happy with his nutrition and learning developments that she has brought her three-year-old daughter for enrolment too.

For new mothers like Puja Salvi, home visits by cluster coordinators like Rakshita Sharma in Ghatiyawali have proven to be a lifesaver in more ways than one. “My newborn son almost choked to death when my mother-in-law fed him cow’s milk. Had it not been for the timely intervention by Didi who came to check on us, he may not have survived. It was also because of Didi that my underweight baby was identified as malnourished and sent to a hospital. He recovered because she ensured he stayed until he got well,” said Salvi.

Her baby is not the only one. Out of 379 severe acute malnourished children identified in the two districts in the past two years, Khushi has given 244 a new lease of life.

Reviews for 2008 Subaru Forester

Overall Rating

4.4 out of 5(16 reviews)

Outstanding car

Good ride. Goog on gas.

- Mark Heatwole, 2008 Subaru Forester

LOVE my Forester!!!

I really, really love my Subaru Forester. I did the research and found the Forester to be top notch; sound, reliable and did well in crash tests. It is also recommended by the "Car Talk" guys on Public Radio, Click and Clack, which is a real plus in my book. It's a sort of basic car but has the feel of an SUV that I'm used to and then it has the upgrades I love, seat warmers, auxillary hook up for my Ipod and sun roof. It drives like a dream! I named my car "Zippy" and we have a great time together!

- , 2008 Subaru Forester

I got the car I wanted at Carmax!

I picked this car based on my research of Consumer Reports' Used Car Buying Guide. Although there are not many to be found in Austin, or Texas, for that matter, Carmax helped me find what I wanted. The AWD and many safety features were very important to me. The sales associate was very knowledgeable and helpful and I love the no-pressure sales practices and real customer care of Carmax. This is my second car to buy from them and it is the best car buying experience you'll ever have! The only thing disappointing about the car is that the gas mileage is not as good as I had hoped, but still, it's not too bad and I love this car!

- Joyce Scott, 2008 Subaru Forester

This price does not include tax, title, and tags. Additional fees may also apply depending on the state of purchase.

Even if it’s seen as a car designer, Pininfarina wants to assure everyone that it can build cars. Even in the EV segment. Pininfarina has announced its ambition to follow the successful launch of the pure-electric Battista hypercar with a series of major investments and initiatives that will see the Italian brand develop into one of the world’s leading luxury automotive companies.

The plans are big, with the Battista hypercar development programme now well advanced, with dynamic simulation and wind tunnel testing complete. Prototype vehicles will be in testing throughout winter, ahead of client test drives in spring 2020. For clients wishing to experience the pinnacle of EV performance in 2019, Automobili Pininfarina teamed up with Mahindra Racing to launch ‘Hyperdrive’ at the Calafat Circuit in Spain, where clients drove the latest EV road cars on track before the ultimate test in a race-proven Formula E car.

SEE ALSO:  Pininfarina Battista is the official name for future Italian supercar

In confirming a future range of electric cars, officials underlined ambition for Automobili Pininfarina to challenge the world’s leading luxury car brands through the future acquisition of a production facility in Italy next year. This potential investment would follow that made in the existing partnership with Pininfarina S.p.A., which will ensure every Battista is hand-crafted in the famous Cambiano atelier facility from the end of 2020 – a fitting end to the 90th anniversary of the famous Pininfarina design house.

Latino America

Ricki Chavez-Munoz reports on what’s happening in South America.

October has been a historic month in gaming, especially in the United States, where the Global Gaming Expo 2018, which took place in Las Vegas during the second week of October had an unprecedented success. Not only were there exhibits of the very latest developments from global industry leaders, but also a veritable explosion of sports betting companies and online gambling products that begin to take CenterStage in the industry.

Previously we had seen the large deployment of European online gaming firms during Totally Gaming ICE 2018, in February, and so, it has not been surprising the offerings we have seen in Las Vegas, where visitors from all countries, especially from the Latin American region, mainly from countries like Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Argentina, were just eager to check on new developments.

We have an extensive report on G2E Las Vegas in our sister magazine, Casino International Americano, as well as advances in online gambling legislation in Peru, where we are travelling in a few days to report directly from Congress and from the regulators at Mincetur. Also, we will be in delightful Cartagena de Indias, to visit and report from GOL EXPO Colombia 2018. See you all there!

Boldt continues as main casino operator in Buenos Aires

Following the announcement by the IPLyC (Provincial Lottery and Casino Institute) of Buenos Aires on the results of the first stage of the tender for seven casino licences, the Boldt organisation obtained 38 of the 55 qualifying points for one lot that includes the top performing casino Trilenium and Casino Pinamar.  Boldt was the only bidder for that lot.

In the first stage of the tender the IPLyC examined the technical and economic antecedents of the offers, the investment proposed and financial standing, amongst other criteria. In the second lot being tendered, consisting of the casinos Tandil, Miramar and Hermitage de Mar del Plata, Boldt obtained 34 points against 32 from its competitors.  The third lot, comprising Casino Central Mar de Plata and Monte Hermosa, the company Casino De Victoria SA obtained 37.5 ponts against Boldt’s 34.

The second stage of the tender will begin mid-November.  The final 45 points available will be allocated at this stage to determine which bids offer the best returns for the state of Buenos Aires.

Paraguay changes Conajzar chief

Paraguay’s president Mario Abdo Benitez has named Jose Antonio Ortiz Baez to represent the Home Affairs Ministry at the country’s Gambling Commission (Conajzar). Ortiz replaces Oscar Portillo who was the choice of former president Horacio Cartes.

The new administration is backing the demand by Paraguay’s Attorney General to reopen the investigation into an attempt to dispossess the National Port Administration of land in Ciudad del Este for the building of a hotel casino.  Cronies of ex-president Horacio Cartes, judges, politicians and administrators have all been implicated in the alleged fraud.

Conajzar is obliged to report suspicious transactions to the Secretary for anti-Money Laundering (Seprelad) in Paraguay.  In 2017 a total of 11,564 reports were made, up 70% on 2016.  More than 80% of reports came from the banking sector. To date Conajzar has no agreement with Seprelad for adequate anti-money laundering regulation to report on suspicious transactions.

New online gambling operation in LatAm

A new casino and sports betting platform has been launched in the Caribbean and Central America, arriving in the region with, operated by Deck Entertainment. uses the sports betting platform of FSB Technologies to offer a variety of sports such as football, cricket, tennis and basketball.  It also offers the slots games of Microgaming and Realistic Games as well as live casino games from Evolution Gaming.

Co-founder of PowerPlay, Keith McDonnell, commented on the website launch: “The Caribbean and Central America needed a company that could fulfill the region’s desire for online gaming. With the promotions, content and customer service that we offer, PowerPlay is able to satisfy the demands of local clients.”

He added, “Our team owns and operates land-based casinos in the Caribbean and, following exhaustive market research, we concluded that players were wanting a local online gaming product. Clients will be able play on mobiles or computers and access a variety of live games at our casino.”

Puerto Rico – looking to make money from street slot machines

The latest proposal to legalise high street gaming machines was announced by Governor Ricardo Rossello Nevares during a meeting of his party, the PNP. The video lottery machines would be a means of collecting funds for the island.

As control of casinos is under the Association of Tourism and Hotels, the organisation is against such a move as Puerto Rican hotels are in crisis following the opening of more modern hotels offering better facilities in tourist destinations such as The Bahamas, Punta Cana, etc.

According to Rossello, the plan is to include video gaming operations in the Inland Revenue system. “The system should be one that permits adequate regulation and eliminate illegal operations in order to collect what we should be able to collect.”

Puerto Rico was one of the first countries to regulate gaming but now it is at the tail end of the industry through lack of proper management or the modernisation of regulatory laws. It can be said that, like Uruguay and Chile, Puerto Rico has had casinos for over 50 years. However, lack of adequate regulations has led to the proliferation of unsupervised and unregulated street gaming machines in all three countries, with profits paying no contribution to national coffers.

So far Uruguay and Chile maintain a passive acceptance of street machines but lately Puerto Rico is looking to legislate in order to gain necessary taxes to help alleviate the public debt.  The island was left some US$70 billion in arrears after the disaster caused by Hurricane Maria, having received no aid from the US.

Bring a cat in from the cold

21 November 2015

Have you thought about fostering? Please consider helping a cat in need this winter. Click here for more details: www.cats.org.uk/bromley/volunteering/foster-a-cat

** Please also consider if there is anyone you know who might be interested in fostering **

Foster a cat

I have found a cat, what should I do?

If you've found a cat, please check the lost section on our website if you cannot see the cat you have found then please contact the Southampton Cat Protection and we will add them to the found section on our website.

You might also consider some or all of the following:

  • If the cat is hungry, please feed it.
  • If possible, take the cat to a vet who will check for a microchip, and you can ask if anyone has reported a similar cat missing.
  • If no microchip is found, you could produce some small "Cat Found" leaflets to be put in newsagents and distributed in the area it was found.
  • Register the cat on www.petfinderonline.co.uk and www.animalsearchuk.com. Both of these websites are FREE.

Doing these things is often very successful in reuniting a cat with its owners and it is important that these procedures are carried out before Cats Protection takes the cat in for re-homing. Once we take in a cat, we must keep it for at least seven days before we can re-home it.

Do you have a deck at home that you want to revamp? Trying to decide if it is worth fixing or if you should just rebuild it all together? Sometimes there is so much to be done, that it would make more sense to rebuild. Trying to make the right decision can be hard. Especially, when you are not familiar with all that goes into it.

Hiring someone to come and look at the project might be a good idea. That way you have an opinion from a professional to give you your options. The staff at Cavalier Builders is trained and educated in making these helpful insights.

Repairing Isn’t Always Cheaper

When you are making the decision to repair your deck you have a lot to consider. It may seem like the most cost effective thing is to just repair what needs fixed. That isn’t always the case though. These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself:

  • How old is it?
  • How much needs to be done?
  • What shape are the boards in?
  • What is the cost of everything?
  • If hiring, what is the cost of labor?

When you are evaluating everything, the cost may add up pretty quickly. It may start growing to just as much as it would be to rebuild. At that point, you may want to consider rebuilding the whole thing.

The age of the deck will play a big role in what you decide to do. Even though the things seem simple to fix, the things you have to replace due to being outdated can add up very fast. Asking a professional for some help to make the right decision will help ease your mind.

Making The Decision To Rebuild My Deck

If you have evaluated your deck and decided that rebuilding it is the best option for you. Now, you need to think about if you are going with the same layout, or changing things up. Going with the same layout would be the easiest option.

Since you are starting over though, this gives you the opportunity to change a few things. It never fails that when you build something, you begin to think about all the things you would have done differently. The stuff you would have changed if you had the ability to.

Do some research and find a reputable builder. They will be able to help you with all of your questions. They will also give advice on the best way to accomplish your wishes.

Helping The Aesthetics of Your Deck

To finish the look of your new deck in your yard, laying new grass and sod will make everything look fresh and new. All the work being done, has a good chance of messing up the grass. This way everything will look fresh and clean when you’re finished. Just make sure you have a level surface to put it down.

You can then go around and add some flowers or shrubs. During the spring, summer and fall. The outside areas of our home become where we love to hang out. By adding a little something pretty to look at, will make you enjoy it that much more.

Warm Up Ring Etiquette

 | Published on 5/28/2018

Just in time for the WDAA Western Dressage World Championship Show, Nicole Chastain brings us some tips on surviving and thriving in that most dreaded of arenas: The warm up ring!

Nicole has navigated the warm up rings of many western disciplines (including cow events), hunter/jumper arenas, eventing trials, and traditional dressage courts, and survived them all. She went on to earn her USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals for dressage, and graduated from the USDF “L” Judging Program. Thanks Nicole for these very timely tips for the Western Dressage warm up! And to those showing at Worlds, good luck and good fun to all!

So you want to show?
You’ve spent months in preparation, hundreds of dollars on lessons, you’ve picked your outfit to perfectly compliment your horse’s gleaming coat. Your trailer was serviced recently, your truck just got new tires, your entry is in, you know your tests, everything is packed…what haven’t you prepared for? You’re ready.

You get to the show, unload your gear, get settled and you’re ready to school.  You enter the warm-up ring to start walking, visualizing your test, remembering all of the things you need to work on…And whoa!!! Your horse bolts off, considering a buck…What was that?! Was that really a horse loping right up your rear? And just as you look up and start to get control, whoa – here comes another one right at you, and it’s going right- no left- no right….Duck! Wait, your horse doesn’t know the duck command! Ugh.

The daunting Warm-Up Ring. Anyone who competes has to endure it. And let’s face it- this is a place where not everyone is at their best.  You have a lot of energy from pure environment: Lots of horses + a very small space = Lots of energy. You’ve heard the expression ‘Unbridled Enthusiasm,’ right? Throw in different levels of riders, varying ages of horses, show ring nerves, 7 a.m. cold and foggy ride times and you definitely have added to your show challenges.

So how do you negotiate a warm up arena, stay safe and use your time productively to not only prepare your horse but also get yourself in the proper state of mind to show? Besides knowing your horse and riding your plan, (which of course you and your trainer have developed over those hundreds of dollars worth of lessons), you need to know that there are some proper rules, etiquette if you will, to using the warm up areas.

  1.  First, and most importantly, if your horse is just too high – he rates past 8 on the ‘I wanna get off and take up golf scale’- you may want to bypass the Warm Up ring and find the designated lunging area for the show. Often it is not the same area used for riding warm ups. This will allow you to get some of that fresh energy off without putting yourself or others in harm’s way.
  2. This can be tricky; in the Western Dressage world you are blending two cultures. If you come from a  Western background this is the norm:  Walking, stay to the inside; jogging goes out to next loop; loping, you stay to the outside.  If the ring is busy you will do best if everyone stays going the same direction until someone, (and that may need to be you), requests that the arena reverse direction.  If you are coming from a Dressage background, the same rules apply, but when you are going different directions from one another the traffic going around the rail, or outside of the ring, always passes left hand to left hand. Those practicing figures like circles or serpentines, or movements like turn on the forehand or turn on the haunches, stay to the inside of the arena (still abiding the pass left to left with one another).  I have been to Western Dressage shows where I see a blend of both of the above happening, and others that were just plain chaos…..I imagine from misunderstanding the differences between the above two. In general faster traffic moves to the rail, slower traffic moves in.
  3. When in doubt, shout.  Ok, no not literally.  But if you are headed towards someone and are not sure who is going where say “outside” or “inside” or “rail”- politely of course, but you need to be clear.  Be clear or be run over!
  4. Standing is not warming up.  If you do need to stop your horse and feel the need to “settle” for a moment, do it to the middle of the ring.  But if you want to “park” your horse and have a little social time with your friends?  Best do that outside of the Warm-Up area.
  5. Do not tie your horse up to the rail inside the Warm Up pens unless horse show management has approved this and it is obvious that this a safe place to do so.  I have seen more than one wreck from a reckless rider buzzing a tied up horse who didn’t appreciate their space being invaded….
  6. Be courteous and be kind.  Everyone is under the same pressure. Competing means something different to everyone; remember we all started somewhere, so try to be patient with new riders who may not understand the rules. Help to show them the way. You may all be competitors but remember — you are all here for the love of the horse and hopefully, the love of the journey.

Now you know what to expect from the Warm-Up ring. Go out there, ride your plan, and most importantly, enjoy the precious time with your horse that you have spent so long preparing for!  Good luck!

This product is produced with no animal derived raw products. All processing and handling employs animal free equipment and animal free protocols.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 7 (FGF-7), also known as Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), is a potent mitogen that regulates epithelial cell migration and differentiation. FGF-7 is produced by mesenchymal cells and binds in high affinity to a splice variant of FGF receptor 2 (FGFR2-IIIb). The mitogenic activity of FGF-7 acts predominantly on keratinocytes, but not on fibroblast or endothelial cells. FGF-7 expression is upregulated after acute and chronic injury, suggesting that FGF-7 functions during the healing of injured epithelial cells. FGF-7 also induces the formation of the apical ectoderm ridge during limb development.

Activity Assay

Human FGF-7 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of 4MBr-5 cells and it is typically less than 60 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 1.7 x 104 units/mg.

Gottman Couples Counseling

The Gottman Method for Healthy Relationships is a form of couples-based therapy and education that draws on the pioneering studies of relationships by psychologist John M. Gottman and clinical practice conducted by John Gottman and his wife, psychologist Julie Gottman. Nearly 40 years of research have led John Gottman to identify the elements it takes for relationships to last—among all types of couples across all phases of life. There are nine components of what the Gottmans call The Sound Relationship House, from partners making mental maps of each other’s world to learning how to break through relationship gridlock. One of the reigning insights of the science-based approach is that in the dynamics of relationship systems, negative emotions like defensiveness and contempt have more power to hurt a relationship than positive emotions have to help a relationship. As a result, the structured therapy focuses on developing understanding and skills so that partners can maintain fondness and admiration, turn toward each other to get their needs met (especially when they are hurting), manage conflict, and enact their dreams—and what to do when they mess up (because everyone does).

Gottman Method Theory

The Gottman Method Theory aims to increase friendship and closeness in couples. It does this by showing them ways to deal with problems and conflicts in a positive way. Not all conflicts have a solution, but the theory is that you can learn to live with it and not allow it to destroy your relationship. The theory also focuses on building a shared life together. That involves being more attentive and considerate to your partner. Making tiny positive changes in small, everyday things can make the relationship more stable, supportive, and stronger so that it can grow and develop.

How Does Gottman Method Suggest the Mind Works?

The research behind the Gottman method suggests that negativity has a huge impact on the brain and that if it is allowed to continue it will emotionally distance and eventually separate a couple. Many couples unknowingly react in negative ways which can deteriorate the relationship. The Gottman method suggests that by reducing negative responses and by replacing them with positive ones, the relationship can prosper.

The Gottman Method identifies nine principals which the couple must work through together in order to nourish and maintain their association.

Love maps. This involves having more empathy and understanding of your partner. To concern yourself with how they really feel and what emotions and stresses they are dealing with.

Fondness and admiration. Couples who express their fondness and feelings of admiration towards each other are more likely to be able to resolve any problems they may have.

Turn to each other. The Gottman’s call this the ‘Emotional Bank Account’ which increases in couples who treat each other with concern and respect and look to one another for support.

Accepting Influence. Relationships involve give and take. Compromise is essential to maintain the balance of power.

Problem-solving. By using these strategies couples can learn to solve their problems. When things get tense, they can soothe the situation and promote constructive dialogue.

Manage conflict. The Gottman method allows couples to find ways to manage their conflicts, through tolerance and understanding based on respect and concern for one another. Not all conflicts have a solution, but this method lets couples find ways to deal with conflicts for the benefit of the relationship.

Create shared meaning. Being in a relationship means that you look to improve your life through the relationship. The connection between two people is made up of lots of little thoughts, words, and actions which together can create a lifelong unity which empowers them to get through the difficult times, together.

Trust. Knowing that your partner is acting in your best interest.

Commitment. Knowing that you are both staying in the relationship through thick and thin and working on making it better for both.

Gottman’s Four Horsemen

Gottman identified four negative factors which are the most destructive in a relationship and which are found much less frequently in healthy relationships. The presence of these factors predicts the failure of a relationship. He called them the ‘Four Horseman’, referring to the biblical image of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

They are –

Criticism. Criticizing your partner implies that you think there is something wrong with them. Saying things like ‘You never’ or ‘You always’ is like a global attack. It is better to make a direct complaint about something specific.

Defensiveness. Most people defend themselves when they feel that they are being attacked and this can escalate the scale of the disagreement. Instead, listen to the complaint and accept some shared responsibility for it.

Stonewalling. This can involve just refusing to talk or actually walking out on the discussion. 80-percent of men use this technique when they feel overwhelmed emotionally. Taking a break and lowering the tone of the disagreement can help.

Contempt. Treating your partner as inferior or mocking them is the most serious of the four horsemen. This can cause a deep hurt and resentment which can be hard to heal, but which with therapy can be overcome.

The potential impeachment of President Donald Trump looms larger than ever, with the recent revelations regarding his actions involving an investigation in Ukraine of Joe Biden’s son Hunter.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who has consistently pushed back against calls for impeachment by the more liberal members of her caucus, has now reversed course, supporting an impeachment inquiry. While this may seem to be a major change for Pelosi, in fact it may turn out to be a largely symbolic one. Several different House committees were already investigating Trump, and the House Judiciary Committee voted to start calling it an impeachment inquiry almost two weeks ago. So, Pelosi’s announcement that she now supports moving forward with an impeachment inquiry may have in fact been a distinction without a difference.

Even so, Pelosi’s formal endorsement certainly accelerates the process. It seems clear now that Democrats are seriously investigating the president, rather than just trying to make noise in advance of the 2020 elections. That’s not to say that any impeachment inquiry — and subsequent Senate trial, if it comes to that — won’t be a political process. Any impeachment is inherently political; that’s the nature of an investigation and trial conducted by politicians, rather than police, prosecutors, and a jury. Regardless of how far it goes, that’s worth keeping in mind throughout this process.

Pelosi’s decision to accelerate impeachment at this juncture is a thoroughly political one. She didn’t suddenly find mounds of new evidence to convince her that Trump was guilty of a crime: she simply faced an increasingly restless caucus that was more willing to embrace impeachment. The first few public polls since the Ukraine scandal broke show that the public may be coming around to that view as well, so moving forward will seemingly cost Democrats less politically.

While more and more House Democrats support impeachment, it doesn’t seem to necessarily be gaining a lot of support amongst Senate Democrats, and Republicans are largely defending Trump or being cautiously neutral. This reality was well-reflected in reactions from the Maine delegation. The only member of the delegation who enthusiastically supports impeaching Trump is First District Democrat Chellie Pingree, who hails from a safe Democratic district easily won by Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Her Second District colleague, freshman Jared Golden, is one of a dwindling number of House Democrats who won’t even officially endorse an impeachment inquiry, let alone voting for it on the floor. His caution is certainly understandable, as he narrowly won in a district that Trump carried, and as a freshman remains a political target. He knows that to be re-elected next year he’ll need to get the support of Trump voters in his district, and he can’t afford to totally alienate them.

Democrats’ quick movement towards an impeachment inquiry puts him — and other Democrats from districts Trump won — in an increasingly perilous position. If the House investigation doesn’t reveal any major new information and they move forward with impeachment anyway, Golden will come under intense pressure from both sides. If it reaches the floor of the House, a vote on impeachment could well determine Golden’s political future, one way or another.

The reaction of Angus King and Susan Collins was more muted. As senators, their role in impeachment will only begin once the House votes in favor of impeachment. Then a trial would begin in the Senate, with an eventual vote on whether to convict Trump. King offered lukewarm support for an investigation, but didn’t try to tell the House what to do, while Collins didn’t comment either way on the House investigation. That’s an entirely appropriate, and expected, reaction for both of them.

The initial, and continuing, reactions of the Maine delegation to impeachment should be viewed as a guide to how the rest of Congress will react. As the House investigation proceeds, it’s worth carefully monitoring them as a gauge of where the rest of Congress — and the public as a whole — stands on impeachment. If Golden moves towards supporting it, impeachment will almost certainly pass the House, forcing a trial in the Senate.

On the Senate side, if Collins tries to broker a compromise, it could be a sign that Trump is in trouble with fellow Republicans. If King supports those efforts, some Democrats might go along with him; if he doesn’t, most Democrats are probably going to vote for a conviction. Maine may be a small state, but in impeachment, the actions of its delegation could well be of enormous significance.

Beware of Hazards When Finishing up Holiday Shopping

Black Friday might be over, but the holiday shopping season is still in full swing. All retail centers need to do everything possible to ensure that customers stay safe as they go to get the last-minute gifts and supplies they need for the holiday celebrations.

Unfortunately, some shopping centers put profit before people. They choose to try to skirt around basic safety practices, and the customers are the ones who can suffer greatly because of this. When accidents happen, the business might try to cover it up, but you can’t let this happen if you are a victim.

One thing that you must do is have the manager on duty file a report about the accident. Get a copy of this if possible. Of course, you might not be able to do this if you need urgent medical care. If you do suffer a serious injury, you may need to have paramedics treat you and bring you to the hospital.

It is important that you keep track of what is going on related to the accident. Make notes about your diagnosis, treatments and similar points. Keep a record of what work you have to miss and how the injuries affect your abilities to do normal life tasks.

We realize that you didn’t think this would happen. It comes as a shock when it does, but we are here to help you work through the legal aspects of the matter so you can try to recover some of the financial damages that you suffered as a result of the store’s negligence.
