erm... cheesy title. no memory cards were harmed in the making of this picture. the last statment was a completele lie. i might have just erased every picture before by accidentally reformating the memory card D; i should stay away from buttons i don't know. but apart from my lack of knowledge of technology -.-"
today was a rather drama filled day. after freaking out over a phone call that had just been an accident and having a friend have her relationship totally destroyed by an outside bystander by lunch we were wondering why boys didn't really have cooties and memories never disappeared.but it comes down to simple things, like your funny friends, that kiddo you joke around with that makes you smile even if its with a little guilt for fear of rebound (rebound scares us all) but its the little smiles the little poke and the sticking your toungue out when someone pokes your nosie that really makes your day. God gives you friends because theyre the little angles that are really there to make life better.
studying studying studying. economic growth models, geographic politics, and how to take over the world. its all harsh and greedy. happiness can be achieved by other things that the supreme dominance over the global market. i wonder how many of these people are alcoholics who have been divorced have shot some drugs up in their time and spent their money in gold latrines just because there is simply nothing more they can do with it.
i don't envy them.
i'd rather have the friend who says things with me at the same time and laughs synchronized with me, the friend that burst into mamma mia in the middle of a conversation just because it popped into her head, the friend who messes with you and calls you funny things because your short and its actually kinda funny. friends who tell you their life isn't amazing either and they'd rather be cuddled up with a box of chocolate and ice cream. i'd rather have those who rely on the little things to get them through the day no matter how much they want to cry.
I thank God for friends for laughs for those moments that make us feel broken and those who have the tape to fix it.

Linda George
Street-level research fights air pollution problem
Linda George’s phone lit up with calls from reporters and government officials when news broke earlier this year about high levels of toxic metals in a Portland neighborhood. Her detailed studies of urban air quality have made the Portland State environmental science professor a go-to source.
Now her expertise is being put to use in for an in-depth study of the city’s air pollution problems.
George is the lead scientist in a new, collaborative effort to test and track air quality at select locations in Portland. It’s a joint project, funded by PSU’s Institute for Sustainable Solutions with matching support from the City of Portland and Multnomah County.
The results could have far-reaching impact, not only on how toxins are regulated in the region but also on overall public health.
"PSU's research will provide the kind of real-time, neighborhood-level analysis that is important for policymakers to consider as we move forward with future decisions," said Steve Novick, a Portland city commissioner. Multnomah County Chair Deborah Kafoury called George’s work “vital to our public health agencies.”
George, who received her environmental sciences PhD from PSU in 1991, has found that sweet spot that helps define the university’s mission of serving the community: She focuses on basic research that has direct applications for improving quality of life in Portland and the region.
“She combines experience as a practitioner and as an academician,” says Robert Liberty, director of the Institute for Sustainable Solutions. “She cares a lot about community engagement and health, and that’s not true for a lot of scientists.”
Public attention has focused on Portland’s air quality after reports that high levels of arsenic and cadmium – potentially dangerous toxins – had been discovered in moss, air and soil in an area near a southeast Portland glass plant.
George, who has been working on air quality issues for three decades, says she’s not surprised that tests revealed obvious problems with the city’s air. “We’ve known this has been happening for a long time,” says George, who found high levels of air pollution on the east side of Interstate 5 several years ago. “Oregon has chosen not to do much about it. It was a disaster waiting to be discovered.”
For the new project, George will deploy her students to collect and analyze air samples in six locations around the Portland Metro region. She will be looking for “variables” that offer clues to why some areas of the city are more polluted than others and how metals disperse into the environment.
Wind direction? Topography? Tree cover?
Once you determine the variant, and what produced it, she says, “then you can look at how to mitigate the problem.”
She expects full results within two years. The findings could extend well beyond the six areas studied and prompt even more research on regional air quality, George says.
“Now there’s a lot more interest” in urban air quality, she says. “It’s going to lend itself to all sorts of other collaborations.”
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.

I know its a horrible pic and you cant see the wire glasses, but my friend LOVED this one the most!
Strangely enough my knowledge on Mobile Crane Trucks is extremely limited so if anyone can hazard a guess as to what this model is actually based on I would be extremely grateful. It could of course be purely generic but thats fairly unusual for Suntoys who usually base their castings on real vehicles even if the end result is usually very low end and cheapo. This model began to appear in Wilkinsons stores back in October 2016 when they seemed to shift their own brand diecasts from HTI to Suntoys meaning their shelves are full of them in singles and multi-packs! Its certainly no Majorette in terms of quality or realism but is robustly made with a fully extendable and rotating crane. Part of a five vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
More than 350 indigenous women from at least 22 countries of the Americas joined together in Guatemala City to discuss about the participation of indigenous peoples in the new agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030, and to debate about indigenous women empowerment, individual and collective rights, traditional knowledge and indigenous women, and climate change.

Malnutrition is a contributing factor to preventable maternal and infant mortality rates. In rural Zambia USAID programs in paternship with the Zambian government is helping equip villagers with the knowledge of proper nutrients. While simple, globably, education contributed to the nearly 50% reduction in infant and maternal deaths. since 2000.
Manxtown.
This former locality has disappeared from maps and knowledge but it deserves to be remembered as it is the only locality in SA where residents of the Isle of Man (Manx) settled. Linkages between Scotland and the Isle of Man were strong and so the Manx families soon merged into the Scots families. Although the Isle of Man is midway between Great Britain and Ireland the closest land is Scotland. It was a Scot, Malcolm Murray, Earl of Dunmore and Duke of Athol who took control of the Isle of Man in 1406. He and his ancestors held the role of Lords of Man until an act of the British Parliament took control for the English monarch in 1765. So the Scots ruled the Isle of Man for 350 years but now the Queen is Lord of Man. The ancient parliament on the Isle of Man is called the Tynwald. Due to overpopulation many settlers left the Isle of Man in the 1840s and 1850s and a sizeable number came to SA and established Manxtown. The Wheatsheaf Hotel was licensed here in 1859; and a school under the direction of Mr Ascoli opened in the same year with 51 pupils. Mr McCreeth provided the schoolroom and Mr Duffield of Shady Grove provided support. In 1875 when the new Education Act came into force the licensed schools of the district had varying enrolments. Manxtown had 80 students, just a little behind Woodside which had 87 enrolments. A proposal for a state school was considered for some years but nothing happened and the Manxtown School closed around 1882. Gradually reference to Manxtown dwindled as the population dwindled and few references were made to it after the mid 1920s. But the names of Manx families continues in the district today. One of the first Manx settlers in 1858 was the Parr family. Other common Manx names to be found in the Adelaide Hills are Gale; Farragher (he was the blacksmith in Woodside in 1875); Cashen; Kelly; Hutchens; Kay; Cowley; Freer; etc. The most common Manx names on the Isle of Man are: Kelly, Quayle, Cain ,Corlett, Christian, Clague, Moore, Farragher, Cannell, Quirke, Kneale and Shimmin. People with these surnames could well be of Manx ancestry but not necessarily so.
Murdoch Hill.
Near Inverbrackie was the former locality of Craigdarroch. It was settled by John Murdoch of Scotland who arrived in SA with his wife Margaret in 1839 on the Indus. Also on that ship was William Smillie, son of the founder of Nairne. John Murdoch died soon after arriving and his wife Margaret registered the name of Craigdarroch in 1841. By 1844 she had five occupation licenses or leaseholds in the district. After she died in 1865 her children with the name of Mitchell continued to run Craigdarroch in the district for many years. In the 1880s gold was discovered on the Craigdarroch property (Bird in the Hand and New Era mines). At Murdoch Hill a Primitive Methodist church was erected in 1866 with the foundation stone being laid by one of Margaret Murdoch’s sons-in-law, Mr. Mitchell. The church still operates as the Uniting Church. A tiny cemetery is adjacent. A state school opened at Murdoch Hill as the one at nearby Manxtown closed. The Murdoch Hill School operated from 1882 until 1944 in the Methodist Church.
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services (WS) Airport Wildlife Hazard Management Program' local Wildlife Biologist Michael Pacheco's use of Integrated Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) that includes identifying trees which do not need trimming (left) and those that need trimming (right) to reduce the attraction of the white-winged dove (Zenadia asiatica) to roost or nest in the oak trees of the base housing community to help reduce the wildlife strike hazard at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) - Randolph, Texas, on April 23, 2020.
Pacheco's permanent position at the base allows him to maintain the program continuity needed in the 12th Flying Training Wing Safety Office, Civil Engineering, and contracting officials to have trimmers come and effectively thin the canopy. Military colleagues have periodic base reassignments throughout their career, taking with them the experience they gained at any given base. Additionally, Pacheco provides subject matter expertise, as well as Federal, State, and local regulatory advice and historical knowledge for Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) - Randolph, Texas, on April 23, 2020.

Establishing an ecommerce business entails many different things. People sometimes neglect to think about #shipping during the process as well. People frequently hire outside organizations to accommodate all of their shipping requirements. Doing so can in many cases streamline things considerably. Shipping matters can be sophisticated. Business owners need to understand, though, that customer journeys go beyond sales. There are so many diverse shipping matters to take into consideration at all times. Examples are the in-depth packaging process, insurance and tracking. People should even take the possibility of refunds into consideration. Remember, all sorts of shipping matters can influence how customers feel about their purchases. That's the reason that business owners should take shipping concerns 100 percent seriously. They have to choose between numerous paths, too. Some ecommerce businesses ship orders all by themselves. Others depend on the assistance of outside groups. One thing is crystal clear, however. Businesses have to devote a lot of time and effort to the shipping process. Businesses that fail to do so frequently encounter many customer problems further on down the line.
Ecommerce businesses need to focus on a range of concerns. They need to focus on all guidelines that relate to distribution, first of all. They need to concentrate on suitable #labeling and #packaging. Other essential focal points for ecommerce businesses include appropriate pricing techniques and shipping suppliers alike.
Businesses need to be aware of any and all regulations that involve distribution. They need to know the ins and outs of valid cards, authorization transaction identification and deposit submissions. Sufficient knowledge can help #business owners and team members who don't want to have to worry about the hassles of possible chargeback requests.
Labeling and packing considerations are also critical for #ecommerce businesses. Many diverse factors influence businesses and their available packing choices. Some of these factors are offered products, size options, weight and overall strength. Product damage is a big risk for ecommerce businesses of all kinds. The transportation process can often lead to all sorts of significant and noticeable product damages. Businesses have to go above and beyond to prioritize shipment containers that are tough and resilient. Packaging influences shipping expenses as well. Larger packages cost more to send. The same goes for packages that simply weigh more.
Carrier selection is yet another key aspect of shipping. Hosted marketplaces can be helpful for an array of reasons. They can give businesses access to in-depth shipping assistance. They can in some cases even give them access to possible shipping bargains. Carriers frequently work things out on behalf of businesses in order to score them significant shipping deals.
It's essential to come up with a shipping pricing technique that's efficient and #smart. Shipping isn't ever free. Ecommerce businesses have to set aside considerable sums of money to cover all of their shipping requirements on a daily basis. Complimentary shipping is a big perk that's associated with many Internet retailers these days. Savvy businesses often give customers options that can help them attain free shipping. Customers who purchase from retailers numerous times sometimes get the rewards of free shipping. There are businesses that have purchase minimums that open customers up to the possibility of shipping that's totally free as well. Ecommerce businesses need to concentrate on all of these paths. They need to consider shipping supplies, rates and more.
