Question: There are 6 sisters. Each sister has 1 brother. How many brothers are in the sisters' family?
Answer: 1 brother. If there was 6 brothers, each sister would have 6 brothers.

There were two twins. One of them was sleeping 8 hours a day, and the other one was sleeping 6 hours a day, every day.
They were living like this until they turned 72 years old.
How many years did each of them spend sleeping?
Answer: 24 and 18 years.
The first one was sleeping 8 hours a day, so he was sleeping 1/3 of his life, so in total he was sleeping 72/3 = 24 years.
The second one was sleeping 6 hours a day, so he was sleeping 1/4 of his life, so in total he was sleeping 72/4 = 18 years.

An excellent number n has an even number of digits and, if you split the number into the front half a and the back half b, then b 2 − a 2 = n. For example, 3468 = 682 − 342 = 4624 − 1156 = 3468, so 3468 is an excellent number. The only two-digit excellent number is 48 and the only four-digit excellent number is 3468. There are eight six-digit excellent numbers, 140400, 190476, 216513, 300625, 334668, 416768, 484848, and 530901, and their sum is 2615199. What is the sum of the 10-digit excellent numbers?
Your task is to compute the sum of the 10-digit excellent numbers; in the spirit of Project Euler, your solution should take no more than one minute of computation time. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

Taunton, 61 @ Attleboro, 64 – Final – A back and forth fourth quarter ended with a big three from Jake Dunkley and a key free throw as the Bombardiers scored their first win over Taunton since Valentine’s Day 2013. Dunkley finished with a game-high 20 points while Kyle Murphy, Andrew Milliken and Lucas Boucicaut each had 12 points. Carlos Borrero led Taunton with 17 points while Jose Mercado added 13 points.
Oliver Ames, 39 @ Foxboro, 47- Final – Jason Procaccini’s 15 points was a game-high as Foxboro grinded to a win to clinch at least a share of the Davenport division title. It marks the program’s first ever Davenport title and first league title since 2003. Charlie Ryan had 12 points for Oliver Ames.
Mansfield, 55 @ Franklin, 51 – Final – Franklin rallied from a 15 point second half deficit to get within two in the final minutes but a big shot from Mansfield’s Matt Ehrlich and key stops sealed the win for the Hornets. Tyler Boulter had a team-high 12 points while Sam Goldberg had 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Matt Ehrlich (four rebounds, four assists) and Christian Weber each had nine points, Nick Baskin had six and Max Boen had five points and four assists. Franklin sophomore Connor Peterson scored 21 points and hauled in nine rebounds while freshman Jay Dieterle netted 18 points.
King Philip, 38 @ North Attleboro, 49 – Final – Mario Bresko led the Rocketeers with 12 points.
Stoughton, 53 @ Milford, 59 – Final – Dimitry Torres once again led the way for the Scarlet Hawks, dropping in a game-high 21 points. Zack Tamagni added 13 points while Anthony Arcudi chipped in with 19 points. Dwight Anderson had nine points and 10 rebounds while Kayden Kelley added 10 rebounds. Stoughton sophomore Cam Andrews had a team-high 18 points.
Canton, 43 @ Sharon, 67 – Final – Charlotte Ransom scored 19 points and six rebounds for Sharon. The Eagles also got a career-high 18 points from Emma Eberhardt and 16 points and five rebounds from Alyssa Piazza.
Foxboro, 40 @ Oliver Ames, 55 – Final – Niyera Mitchell came off the bench for OA to score 15 points and pull down 17 rebounds, both of which were game highs. Kayla Raymond added 11 points and 10 rebounds and Francesca Calabraro scored 11. Ashley Sampson was the top scorer for Foxboro with 15 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and Cassidy Harrison added 12.
Franklin, 38 @ Mansfield, 44 – Final – Meg Hill and Caroline Maher led the way for Mansfield with 12 points apiece. Lauren Rudolph was the top scorer for Franklin with eight points.
North Attleboro, 60 @ King Philip, 35 – Final – Caroline Collard and Ashley Ahern each scored 13 points for the Rocketeers. Riley Dalzell led the Warriors with 13 points.
Milford, 59 @ Stoughton, 41 – Final – Christine Pye was the top scorer for the Hawks with 14 points, while Jill Powers chipped in with 10.
Attleboro, 63 @ Taunton, 30 – Final – Emily Houle scored 31 points to lead the Bombardiers and is now only 21 points away from 1,000 for her career.
There has been significant progress made in the three years that Jim Choquette has been in charge of the program and he is hoping that this year “will be another step forward” for the Bulldogs. Canton comes into this winter with momentum after winning four games down the stretch of last season and, as Choquette explained, narrowly missing out on a handful of other wins.
Senior captains Meaghan Hunter (who did not play high school basketball until her sophomore year) and Shannon Foley will be the leaders of the team and counted on to get the team into its offense. Junior Emma Murphy is back for her third season on varsity and she continues to develop as a post player. As Choquette noted, Murphy has already started 40 games in her Bulldogs career, so experience is not an issue.
Junior Casey Shea will join Murphy in the post and she is another player that continues to develop. Sophomore Hannah Jerrier had a big season with her AAU team at Mass Premier and Choquette thinks that she is primed for a breakout season along with classmate Jess Powers, who emerged at the tail end of last season.
The Bulldogs will also look to incorporate a pair of freshmen into the system with Erin Devine, who Choquette said has already grown to 6-foot-3, and incoming point guard Julia Hamilton, who may be a star in the making.
Experienced is not generally an adjective used when describing a team that is going to start four sophomores at the beginning of the season, but all four of the underclassmen in Foxboro’s starting lineup saw significant playing time during the Warriors’ run to the sectional final last year. With HockomockSports.com Player of the Year and Hock MVP Kat Tamulionis graduated, the ball is now going to be in the hands of these young players and they will be given every opportunity to produce.
The primary ball-handler will be sophomore Ashley Sampson. Sampson had a breakout rookie season in which she became one of Foxboro’s best weapons off the bench and showed no fear against even the best teams in the league and the state. Classmate Lily Sykes will join her in the backcourt and adds another good shooter and defender at the guard position. Cassidy Harrison will be the lone senior in the starting five and will provide shooting on the wing.
Sophomore Grace Tamulionis showed tons of potential last season and is a versatile forward that can step back and shoot and has the size to crash the boards. She will be joined in the post by classmate Shannon Smalley, who head coach Lisa Downs said had a great summer. Downs also noted that junior Lauren Flahive could come off the bench as a defensive option and senior Carolynn Will is another option as a shooter at the forward position.
Milford enters a new season with a new coach. T.J. Dolliver moves into his first head coaching position at the high school level, after being an assistant for boys’ coach Paul Seaver, and he is “excited” by the potential that the Hawks have shown in the opening weeks of practice and during the opening game of the season (a 44-21 win over Hopedale).
There is only one senior on the roster, but the Hawks gained a lot of experience last year. The focal point for the Hawks offense (and for opposing defenses) will be sophomore guard Kate Irwin. The dynamic lefty has quickness, vision, and shooting touch and she provides Milford with a spark on both ends of the floor. She will get plenty of help from junior forwards Nicole Dahlgren, Christine Pye and Brianna Croteau.
The lone senior on the roster is Jill Powers, who knocked down a couple of threes in the season opener. Sophomore forward Gill Valanzola will add depth at the forward position and junior guards Emma Liskov and Jill Burley will give Irwin help in the backcourt. Dolliver is also hoping to get sophomore Emily Piergustavo back at some point this season to help the Hawks spread the floor with her shooting.
The Tigers finished second behind Foxboro in the Davenport last year and expectations are high that this Oliver Ames team will challenge the Warriors again this winter. Team chemistry seems to be as high as ever in the Tigers group with a smaller roster of just nine players that have battled illnesses and other obstacles during the two weeks of preseason practice. Head coach Laney Clement-Holbrook is hoping that her team will rally around each other and can make a good start to the season.
Although she has missed a few days of practice with illness, junior Francesca Calabraro is going to be the player that OA counts on the most this season. Calabraro was the team’s leading scorer last season and also one of the league’s best in picking up steals. Calabraro is lethal on the break and that is a key to how the Tigers like to play. Sophomore Kayla Raymond, who saw plenty of time as a rookie, has shown the potential of being a top scorer and a force on both ends of the court.
Senior captain Kaitlyn McCarthy was credited with holding things together for the Tigers during the tumultuous opening weeks of practice and she is joined in the leadership role by fellow captain Sam Bamford who is a tenacious defender at the point guard position. Junior forward Niyera Mitchell gives the Tigers size and athleticism in the middle. Hannah Carroll and Abby Reardon will add depth at the guard position.
In his first season in charge, Cliff Tomassian took over a program that had reached the sectional final at UMass Boston for the first time in decades but one that lost its three best players including HockomockSports.com Player of the Year Karlie O’Driscoll. The Eagles were competitive throughout the season, particularly on defense, but struggled on the offensive end and missed the tournament, something Tomassian believes can change this winter.
Sophomore guard Shira Stoller will also be back this year and Tomassian has urged the point guard to look for her own shot more and take some of the pressure off Piazza. With a point guard that can get to the basket and a forward that can score in the post, the perimeter should open up for Sharon and that is where seniors Ashley Mukasa and Charlotte Ransom can excel as spot up shooters.
After three decades in charge, Janet Sullivan stepped down as the head coach at Stoughton and the program turned to someone who knows all about the program to step in this winter. Former Stoughton player and 1,000 point scorer Charmaine Steele-Jordan, who played at Quinnipiac and was an assistant coach at Boston University, takes over and had already brought a buzz to the Black Knights heading into the season. “There couldn’t have been a better place to fall,” said Jordan about the chance to take over at her alma mater.
Senior Alecia Quinones gives Steele-Jordan a weapon to work around. The forward has the size to match up with opposing post players and the athleticism to match up with wings. On offense she also adds versatility with an improving jump shot and good moves on the block. Fellow senior Jess Greer is the primary ball-handler and can also knock down the three.
Senior forward Ava Seigel is the third captain this season and is another important cog on both ends of the floor. Senior Bridgette Whalen and sophomore Valerie Whalen will add more size and strength in the paint for the Black Knights. Defense was always a strength of Stoughton and that will certainly continue under the new coach.

Bon Jovi headed to Vegas. Better set than I was expecting, to be honest. :) One of my friends was there and met Obie O'Brien.
I saw a couple of girls with black or dark blue Australia (bon jovi) shirts on going up the escalator after the show. Were those your friends?
The show was good, not great by their standards. Better than some, not as good as others. Also, this is my opinion. I am not saying I am right. This is just how I feel.
Pro: They opened with Prayer. I think that song is a great way to start the show.
Con: They played Blood on Blood later in the show. Don’t get me wrong I have thoroughly enjoyed it this tour. But if they are not going to open with it, they can afford to drop it for a show. I think something off These Days would have served that slot well.
Pro: Blaze of Glory and Keep the Faith this tour are amazing. I have never thought Blaze (live) compared to the album version until this tour. The only difference I can point out is that Jon's vocals are stronger.
Pro: 5 songs from Keep the Faith. Bed of Roses is great every time I have seen it(this tour anyway)and this performance was nothing less than fantastic. As mentioned, the title track always amazes me... especially for a song I have never considered one of my favorites. Dry County is always a treat and was performed better in Vegas than Chicago last Fall (my only basis for comparison). Lastly, I haven't seen In these Arms since the OWN tour in 01. Still, a great live song and it surprisingly worked as a closer.
Con: Nothing off These Days. And 1 of the 5 was I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. This song shouldn't be played near as often as it gets played. It's a good song but it is not a classic like Prayer or Bad Medicine (the type of HIT you can hear over and over and still enjoy). At least they aren't playing it every show, like previous tours.
Pro: Jon did something different with the 2nd verse I'd never seen/heard before. He never paused between lines. It at least made the song a little interesting (for a guy who has seen it numerous times). We got the Start Me Up medley... which I have never seen in person.
Con: They played 3 songs from Lost Highway…. my favorite song and least favorite song from Lost Highway. And they can pull off We Got It going On (my least favorite) live and cannot pull off Make a Memory (My favorite). It loses the crowd. I am all about them trying different things all the time, hit or miss, and again, I love Make a Memory, but for that slot, Open All Night from Bounce or Halleluiah went over much better with the audience and are better live…. And I personally think This Ain’t a Love Song.
Pro: No Lost Highway. One of my least favorite Bon Jovi songs ever and another song that gets played way too often. Also, I Love This Town (while not one of my favorites) it works from time to time.
Pro: Lay Your Hands On Me. The new break down Dave and Richie are doing mid-song is fantastic. The new solo is cool. And the double time outro breaths new life into the song. Tico goes to town. It is very interesting and I totally dig it.
Con: Until they pulled out the new last half, I would have picked Homebound Train every time. Richie just seemed more comfortable with it… But like I said, the new work to LYHOM really pays off.
Pro: The More Things Change. For sure my favorite new song off the GH. I also like the speech in the middle comparing Beeber to Timberlake and lady Gaga to Madonna. I am sure this is a song they will soon forget, so I am glad I saw it while they are playing it.
Cons: I think it had mixed reviews in the crowd. For instance, my wife didn’t enjoy it too much. Also, I would have enjoyed seeing another new song if given the chance…. Probably No Apologies.
Pro: Jon stated 3 songs in they’d play for 3 hrs.
Con: They only played for 2.5 hours.
Pro: They played for 2.5 hours.
No, that wasn't my friend.
No problem. Thank you for this site! I don't even visit their site anymore. This is far easier to navigate and I get the info I am looking for much quicker.

This article provided by: Davis Hill, PSU PAgricultural Rescue Training Program Manager.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A recent death and serious injury resulting from gases inside a Lancaster County silo are grim reminders to those working and living on farms that gases produced during the fermentation process can be deadly, according to a farm safety expert in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.
Emergency responders also should be ready to deal with silo gas emergencies, warned Davis Hill, senior extension associate in agricultural and biological engineering, because corn silage harvest is in full swing around Pennsylvania and the Northeast.
The conversion of plant material to fermented feed progresses through four phases of fermentation, and this process normally is completed within 21 days. The first phase usually lasts from several hours to a full day and is a time when the plant is still respiring (breathing), producing a large amount of carbon dioxide.
This carbon dioxide, Hill explained, actually displaces, or uses up, any oxygen that is trapped in the pile of silage. During this phase, being inside the silo is extremely dangerous due to low oxygen levels. Once the oxygen within the pile of silage is used up, bacteria grow and multiply. These bacteria work to convert the sugars within the plant material to acids. This is the second phase of fermentation, and it usually lasts for one to two days.
Based on this information, farmers need to take precautions if they feel they have to enter the silo during the two- to three-week period after filling. Hill strongly recommends not going in.
The low oxygen levels and high nitrogen gas levels can overcome a worker immediately. Another reason farmers go into the silo during this fermentation period is to hand feed some of the silage. But that practice is especially dangerous because of the large amount of gases released as one digs up forkfuls of the material to throw down the unloading chute.
If farmers must enter, Hill advised, they should be sure to run the silo blower for at least 30 minutes before entry and during the time they are inside the silo performing their task. The silo blower will be effective at clearing any gases inside the silo and on the silo surface only if there is 15 feet or less of headspace inside the silo. If silos have more than 15 feet of headspace, he warned, farmers should not trust the silo blower to provide a gas-free space in which to work.
“If co-workers or family members discover a person lying unresponsive on the silo surface, they must not enter the silo to try to assist — they have to assume that silo gas is present and this condition also can render them helpless. They should make sure the silo blower is running and call 9-1-1,” Hill said.
Farmers should talk to their family members and employees about the dangers of silo gas each year. Detailed information can be found on the Penn State Extension Agricultural Safety and Health website.
For more information about silo gas, farm rescue strategies regarding silo fire or silo fire response training for fire departments, contact Dave Hill at the Pennsylvania State University at (814) 865-2808 during working hours or (814) 404-5441 after hours. The website www.farmemergencies.psu.edu has an excellent resource for fire companies to use in managing silo fires.

The evolution of pre-hardened mold steels was presented during the "Global Advances in Pre-hardened Mold Steels" webinar by International Mold Steel last month, and audience members walked away learning these five facts about mold steels.
The evolution of pre-hardened mold steels was presented during the "Global Advances in Pre-hardened Mold Steels" webinar presented by International Mold Steel last month. Executive Vice President and General Manager Tom Schade and National Sales Manager Paul Britton teamed up to compare the differences and advantages of newer pre-hardened materials versus materials from the past, provide insight into how choosing the right material will lower the costs of the tool, review the advantages of using a pre-hard material versus a harden-able material, and share how Europe and Asia have evolved in different directions and how the U.S. started Euro-centric, but has evolved to a globalized view.
1. Choosing the right steel can save time and money.
2. New pre-hard materials are easier to machine, weld, and do not require stress relieving.
3. There are better P20 steels on the market today.
4. Why go through the cost of heat treating a steel, when the production quantities justify using a pre-hard?
5. Can you find the weld? Nak 55 and Nak 80 offer people no evidence that the part was welded.

If you or a loved one is admitted to a skilled nursing facility (SNF), there is a good chance you will quickly become acquainted with the rehabilitation department, among which is occupational therapy.
Many people arrive at an SNF because they no longer require the level of care given at a hospital but are unable to go home. You may still need daily access to skilled nursing services (such as monitoring the healing of a wound or assistance with medication), daily rehabilitation services, or some combination of both.
Your doctor remains the ultimate overseer of your care, but nursing and rehabilitation workers are who you will see most frequently.
Medicare certifies skilled nursing facilities; therefore, Medicare regulations and reimbursement play a significant role in how facilities are run.
In some cases, you will stay in your same hospital room but switch to an SNF level of care. Medicare certifies some small rural hospitals (known as critical access hospitals) to provide SNF level care under the status of Swing Bed when geographical access to a step-down rehab facility is limited.
Even though you are staying in the same location, you should notice a change in the care you are receiving.
Occupational therapists have a holistic view of health. They are trained to assess and intervene in health factors (like strength, range of motion, mobility, cognition, motor planning, etc.) but ultimately are interested in how these factors are impacting your ability to perform the tasks that you need and want to be doing (known as “occupations”).
For clients in a skilled nursing facility, these tasks are often the minimum activities required to return to the home setting or lesser level of care.
What is required for a person to be discharged safely from an SNF varies. For example, if you live alone in a two-story home, the essential tasks that you must be able to perform to return home will be different from someone who is returning to an assisted living environment.
Of importance to all patients, though, is a group of tasks called Basic Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). These are the essential tasks that patients must have a plan to perform in order to thrive. ADLs include dressing, bathing, eating, grooming, and mobility.
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) are tasks that are also essential to one's quality of life but tend to be more complex and are easier to delegate to other caregivers. When appropriate, your occupational therapist (OT) will also assess and provide treatment related to IADLs.
In order to make your transition from an SNF as efficient as possible, OTs may also recommend and provide training in modifying your environment and equipment you can use for performing daily tasks.
You may have received occupational therapy in the hospital setting, but your transfer to a skilled nursing facility will start a new episode of care. Your occupational therapist will have an order from the doctor to conduct an updated evaluation.
This plan of care will then be sent to the doctor for approval.
Your treatments must be related to your goals and fall within the plan of care. For example, if you begin to have difficulty with your wheelchair, it is within an OTs domain of practice to address this, but if wheelchair management wasn’t in the original plan of care, she would need to update the plan of care and get approval from the doctor before proceeding.
An occupational therapist or certified occupational therapy assistant can perform treatments. Occupational therapy aides may be on hand to help with the process but cannot deliver skilled treatments.
Your OT treatments will likely be some combination of practicing the skills you will need to go home and addressing the physical, cognitive, emotional health factors that make these essential tasks difficult.
For example, one session may focus on upper body strengthening in preparation for utilizing a transfer bench to access your shower at home. In another session, your OT may set up a mock bathroom situation and train you on the safest way to use a transfer bench.
Occupational therapists graduate from OT school as entry-level generalists. But, even a new grad should be well educated and prepared on assisting you in meeting your ADL and iADL goals.
Over the course of their career, many OTs will go on to specialize in certain treatment techniques and areas of practice. SNFs may seek to staff OTs with specialized training and certification.
The qualifications for different levels of coverage through Medicare can be complex and are worth discussing in detail with your hospital discharge team and SNF admissions team.
To give you a general understanding of how Medicare covers occupational therapy services, you will find below some of the main components of the two levels of Medicare coverage.
The lingo can be daunting but hang in there, because these details are directly related to advocating for the best care.
If you have a three-day hospital stay and your doctor decides that you will continue to need skilled care, you may qualify for Medicare Part A.
Medicare Part A extends for the first 100 days in an SNF and has a special set of requirements.
Part of the requirements is that the staff at the facility completes the Minimum Data Set (MDS).
As part of the MDS, the number of occupational therapy minutes will be combined with physical and speech therapy’s to establish a Resource Utilization Group (RUG) level. This RUG level will impact the amount Medicare will reimburse the facility. This level is set within three days of the fifth, 14th, 30th, 60th, and 90th days of a patient’s stay at the sub-acute facility. The level will determine the amount the facility is paid until the next review day.
Ultra High: at least 720 minutes. Minimum 2 therapy disciplines (physical, occupational or speech therapy); one at least five days.
Very High: at least 500 minutes. Minimum 1 discipline five days.
High: at least 325 minutes. Minimum 1 discipline five days.
Medium: at least 150 minutes. Minimum five days.
Low: at least 45 minutes. Minimum three days.
Medicare Part B covers occupational therapy in an SNF if you do not qualify for Part A or if those benefits have been exhausted. Therapy is then billed using a completely different system and set of codes.
Occupational therapists strive to be client-centered in their goal setting. But, as this 2006 research study highlights, there can easily be a disconnect between the therapist’s goals and the client’s goals. The article suggests patients actively participate in the discussion about the goals they find to be meaningful and purposeful.
If you are in a situation where you don’t know the exact goals your OT is working for, do not hesitate to ask your occupational therapist! You can also request to see your occupational therapy documentation.
Navigating how much therapy you or your loved one will benefit from week to week is one of the most critical parts of getting the most of your SNF experience. A 2005 study demonstrates that higher therapy intensity was associated with a shorter length of stay and a greater likelihood of improving in ADL performance.
That being said, skilled nursing facilities have come under scrutiny (and lawsuits) for providing intensive therapy to patients for reimbursement reasons versus client need.
The tiered reimbursement system of RUG levels outlined above presents the following problem: if you receive 499 minutes of therapy, your RUG Level is High, but if you receive 500 minutes of therapy your RUG level is very high and Medicare reimbursement increases. Facilities, therefore, have an incentive to pressure therapists to provide that extra minute of therapy…even when the patient may not be benefiting from it.
If you believe you or a loved one is receiving fraudulent services, speak with your facility, or you can contact Medicare directly.
OTs receive a base level of training in OT school but go onto to receive continuing education and further training throughout their career. Each OT you encounter will have different strengths and choose different areas for continuing education. The best way to learn about your OTs unique qualifications and the reasons for the treatment they are performing is to ask questions. Here is a guide to get the conversation rolling.
Another common challenge to receiving the best SNF care is simply getting all parties, both family members, and facility staff, on the same page. If you find that lack of communication or difficulty settling on the best course of action has become problematic, consider speaking to your care team about a family meeting.
Many facilities will offer the option to schedule a time to get as many invested parties in the same room at the same time to talk about the best course of action. This option can bring clarity to patients, loved ones, and staff.

In most cases, if you have a mortgage on your home, your lender will require you to carry homeowner's insurance coverage. Even if you do not have a mortgage against your property, it is a financially sound decision to carry a homeowner's policy to protect your investment.
While policies may vary, the basic homeowner's policy is divided into four parts.
Minus a deductible, your insurance policy is likely to cover the repairs or the rebuilding of your home in the event it suffers damages due to arson, accidental fire damage, and certain acts of nature, such as hail damage or a lightning strike. The structural damage clause in your policy may also cover damage to any detached structures as well, so if your detached garage or tool shed is blown away in a tornado, you can find some solace in the knowledge that they will be replaced without taking a huge chunk out of your savings.
As pricey as the home itself can be, you might be surprised what it would cost to replace the contents. This is why most homeowner's insurance policies also insure your belongings against damage or theft. Policies generally cover the contents as a percentage of the value of your home. For example, if the policy covers the contents up to 50 percent of the value of your structure and your home is valued at $100,000, you would be limited to collecting $50,000 from the insurance company to replace your furniture, appliances, clothing, electronics, and other possessions. This is why it is important to keep a running inventory of your household belongings to make sure your coverage is sufficient to replace those items. Unfortunately, some of the most important things in our homes have more sentimental value than monetary value.
Jewelry, furs, and certain collectibles may be covered under different limits, which may require you to purchase additional coverage to make sure these items are covered in the event of theft.
It is important to carry a liability component to your homeowner's insurance policy in case someone is injured on your property or if their property is damaged on your premises. This coverage also applies if you are on someone else's property and accidentally damage something of theirs. For example, if your son breaks the neighbor's window while playing ball in their backyard, your policy would pay to have the window replaced.
In the event you or a member of your family are sued for bodily injury or property damage, the policy is also likely to cover your legal costs and any court awards against you up to the policy limits.
In general, property damage liability coverage ranges from $100,000 to $300,000, but additional coverage can be purchased. Personal injury coverage usually only covers a few thousand dollars.
In the event your home is damaged so greatly that you will have to find temporary accommodations elsewhere while repairs are being made, this portion of your homeowners policy will cover the hotel bills or rent, meals, and incidental living expenses. Often this coverage is quoted as a percentage of the coverage on your home or as an unlimited amount for a limited timeframe.
Shop around. Not only are insurance policies structured differently, the costs can vary greatly.
Raise your deductible, but only to the point where you can afford to pay it in the event there is an emergency.
Many insurers will discount your policy if you take certain security measures, such as installing smoke alarms and security systems.
Maintain a good credit history. Premiums costs are directly affected by the policyholder's credit rating.
While homeowner's insurance can alleviate your monetary concerns during certain times of disaster, you may need to purchase additional coverage to protect you and your property against earthquakes and flood. It is also important to review your coverage frequently to make sure it is still adequate.

What is the fear of Friday the 13th called?
In the movie "Groundhog Day," every morning started with Bill Murray's clock radio playing what song?
Answer: The song was "I Got You, Babe", Sonny and Cher's 1965 hit.

guess I can work with it.
part of America's design heritage to have one, and they should be salvaged.
for it, see for yourself.
Anyhow, the reason for this post, here are some of my plans for this bathroom!
Don't worry, I looked it up, Housewifery is a real word.
How ever you would say it. I know it sounds like a fake job.
here to tell you the realities of my experience.
and i'm going to share my first faux pas of staying home.
cooked, 3 meals."And he accepted that, because how much more vague could I be?!
time I knew he would be heading home for lunch, then I would turn it off, make lunch, and then, yep!
bathroom break, or it was time to prep for dinner.
So here it is, the terrible time I was caught with TV.
Shopaholic is on! Well, it would be rude not to watch it..
Guess who comes home early?
Yep, the ol' Husband. And where am I? SAME. EXACT. SPOT!!
that I feel so much better about my performance as a housewife!
Thinking of going Cold Turkey on T.V.?
- I know we all think we can manage with Netflix on "in the background." but come on, who are we really fooling? Every episode of any show has moments where you need to "sit down for just a second" to enjoy!
- Take some time away from it, try just be quiet with yourself. We are never quiet with ourselves anymore! You may be surprised, think of all of the ideas, and creativity just sitting dormant in your brain!
- If it's too tempting for you, try having someone hide the remotes from you, or tell someone close to you about it, so they can keep you accountable.
Look, I know this seems silly, but this is the world we live in.
Now, believe me, it was not easy to put these raw facts about myself out into the world of the internet. But if you have any desire to be a stay-at-home anything. Then my only hope is that maybe this helps you unlock some of that potential you aren't using. And save you some time and embarrassment from someone having "The TV Talk" with you.
Come back again if you like embarrassing anecdotes. Because believe me, I got plenty.
What are my 1 to 2 centerpieces?
since we had vaulted ceilings, and white walls, we could really do something big for our light fixture.
What are my style words?
So now, everything that I buy has to fit into those words.
-Never pay full price for anything! Wait for things to go on clearance if possible.
- If you are an Etsy seller, it never hurts to see if a fellow local maker is interested in a trade.
- ALWAYS Be checking your local Craigslist adds, and local thrift shops, odds are one of them will have something you are looking for.
- At Retro Den, if you take a picture at their store and post it with their hashtag, you get a discount.
-West Elm does 20% off their lighting section 2 or 3 times a year.
- Become a subscriber online to stores that you like, and start saving things to a wish list, most places will email you when things go on sale.
inquire about any other decor in my home that I didn't already share!
As a fun introduction to this blog, I figured since my whole brand of "Our Own Little Hive"
revolves around, well..our hive, I thought we could start with the first impressions of our home!
Here is what it looked like on the Zillow listing when we found it!
even remotely close to being "done"
HAVE to have these things before purchasing!
and Justin and I had all of the carpet pulled!
Rolling up all of the padding underneath.
And of course the tack strip. That is what took the longest.
So here is a little glimpse of living life in a renovation.
Yep, totally drying our clothes on our work ladder..classy, right?
After a couple weeks of living like this, we finally were able to move in our couch! Glory, Glory!
We also finally changed out that bland ceiling fan with an AMAZING light fixture from West Elm.
Hooray! Check out Kirk the tree, making his debut!
Then slowly but surely we made it from there to here.
And then to here, where we are today.
Thanks, for reading! I'm so excited to share this journey with you!

Reality TV personality and YouTube star Chad Tepper returns to MTV for "Too Stupid to Die" bizarre prank series.
MTV's new stunt show "Too Stupid to Die" has a Brevard tie.
Reality TV personality Chad Tepper's back on the network with this "Jackass"-inspired show. It's a return to MTV for Tepper, who attended Merritt Island High School.
The tongue-in-cheek trailer for "Too Stupid to Die" pretty much tells you all you'll need to know: "Warning: The stunts and the pranks you're about to witness are performed by professionals. Don't be a moron."
The eight-episode series, which premieres at 10 p.m. Aug. 21 on MTV, spotlights the life of daredevil Zach Holmes, bizarre pranks and Holmes' inner circle of antic-loving friends, which includes Tepper.
"This show's going to be huge," says Tepper. "The whole time on the show I would say, 'Honey, you ain't hit and heard that,'" a reference to Tepper's music video "Aint Hit."
Here's a list of the cast and characters from "Too Stupid to Die:"
• Zach, 26 (“The Stupid Genius”): The mastermind, building his following on Facebook and Instagram through his fearless stunts.
• Coty, 26 (“The Screamer”): Always up for friendly competition and rarely plays by the rules.
• Meggan, 26 (“Hell On Wheels”): Holds her own within this insane group of guys and is typically the one to push the limits.
• Tommy, 26 (“Most Redneck”): The guinea pig of the group who will step up when others are too scared.
• Chad, 27 (“Tattooed Teddy Bear”): Big-hearted and the glue that keeps the crew together.
• Damon (Blazer), 27 (“Human Trashcan”): Known for doing all things gross -- plus he'll eat anything.
• Khyler, 22 (“Mr. Fearless”): Up to try anything once…or twice.
• Chad Tepper, 26 (“The Instigator”): YouTube star — his description is "come watch me be a idiot" — who visits the crew and takes things to the next level.
In addition to reality TV, Tepper has quite the social following with 1.7 million followers on Instagram, 209 followers on Twitter, and 1.1 million subscribers on YouTube.

Magnificent Modern Railway Station at Liege, Belgium.
Calatrava’s magnificent railway station at Liege is one of the finest modern structures in Europe. Lumix LX3 photo.
To my total surprise and delight, Liege (Liège-Guillemins) has been completely transformed since my last visit in August of 1998— when I paused to change trains from Bonn, Germany to Charleroi. I remember a dreary, tired and uninspired railway station and it was this facility I was expecting.
I admit, the new station had completely escaped my notice until that moment when I got off the train last week. I must have missed the memos, the parades and fireworks that certainly must have announced the opening of such a spectacular railway facility back in September 2009.
Liege station in August 2013. This graceful canopy was opened in September 2009. Lumix LX3 photo.
The station largely consists of modern vaulted canopy spanning five railway platforms. Designed by prolific Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava it is constructed of steel, concrete and glass, and makes for a very positive railway experience.
The canopy softens the sun while maintaining a bright environment to watch and photograph the passage of trains. Exposures must be made carefully, because the large white structure tends to fool camera meters in the same way of a bright snowy day.
I found it necessary to overexpose (add more light) by about 2/3s of a stop above what the camera meter had recommended.
Incidentally, Calatrava also designed two Dublin bridges over the Liffey; the Joyce Bridge near Heuston Station, and the Samuel Becket Bridge in the Docklands, both of which I’ve often photographed.
The new SNCB Station at Liege is a total contrast with the dreary postwar facility it replaced. LX3 photo.
This memorizing structure compels photography from every angle. Yet, exposures must be calculated carefully or the proliferation of white and skylight can result in an underexposed (dark) image). LX3 photo.
When exposing for trains under the canopy, I found it necessary to manually override the camera meter by dialing in a 2/3s stop over exposure compensation or make manual equivalent based on the in-camera meter. Canon EOS 7D photo.
I had just half an hour to wander around this amazing station. I was impressed, and hope to return some evening to photograph it in a post sunset glow. Lumix LX3 photo.

The Goldmark (officially just Mark) is the name used for the currency of the German Empire from 1873 to 1914.
Before unification, the different German states issued a variety of different currencies, though most were linked to the Vereinsthaler, a silver coin containing 16⅔ grams of pure silver. Although the Mark was based on gold rather than silver, a fixed exchange rate between the Vereinsthaler and the Mark of 3 Mark = 1 Vereinsthaler was used for the conversion. Southern Germany had used the Gulden as the standard unit of account, which was worth of a Vereinsthaler and, hence, became worth 1.71 (1 ) Mark in the new currency. Bremen had used a gold based Thaler which was converted directly to the Mark at a rate of 1 gold Thaler = 3.32 (3 ) Mark. Hamburg had used its own Mark prior to 1873. This was replaced by the Goldmark at a rate of 1 Hamburg Mark = 1.2 Goldmark.
From January 1, 1876 onwards, the Mark became the only legal tender. The name Goldmark was created later to distinguish it from the Papiermark (paper mark) which suffered a massive loss of value through hyperinflation following World War I (see inflation in the Weimar Republic). The Goldmark was on a gold standard with 2790 Mark equal to 1 kilogram of pure gold (1 Mark = 358mg).
Coins of denominations between 1 Pfennig and 1 Mark were issued in standard designs for the whole Empire, whilst those above 1 Mark were issued by the individual states, using a standard design for the reverses (the Reichsadler, the eagle insignia of the German Empire) with a design specific to the state on the obverse, generally a portrait of the monarch, with the free cities of Bremen , Hamburg and Lübeck each using its municipal coat of arms. Many of the smaller states issued coins in very small numbers and these are thus extremely rare and valuable. The principality of Lippe was the only state not to issue any gold coins in this period.
Silver coins were minted in .900 fineness to a standard of 5 grams silver per Mark. Production of 2 and 5 Mark coins ceased in 1915 while 1 Mark coins continued to be issued until 1916. A few 3 Mark coins was minted until 1918, and ½ Mark coins continued to be issued in silver until 1919.
The 3 Mark coin was introduced as a replacement for the Vereinsthaler coins of the previous currency, whose silver content was slightly more than that of the 3 Mark coin.
The 5 Mark coin, however, was significantly closer in value to older Thalers (and other such crown-sized coins).
Gold coins were minted in .900 fineness to a standard of 2790 Mark = 1 kilogram of gold. Gold coin production ceased in 1915.
Banknotes were issued by the Imperial Treasury (known as "Reichskassenschein") and the Reichsbank, as well as by the banks of some of the states. Imperial Treasury notes were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 Mark, whilst Reichsbank notes were produced in denominations of 20, 50, 100 and 1000 Mark. The notes issued after 1914 are referred to as Papiermark.

I have been going for walks as soon as the sun comes out- these days as it has been rare but it has given me a new appreciation for nature, and even decay. Japanese poets traditionally used haiku to capture and distill a fleeting natural images such as rain falling or a flower bending in the wind. Many people go for walks just to find new inspiration for their poetry, known in Japan as ‘ginkgo walks’. This weeks poem was inspired by David Bowie who left the earthly abode last week.
We are so lucky in late spring to be blessed with wildflowers- many of whom are cousins of cultivars. These are free, abundant and hardy. While we have to be careful in picking these- for example, the Euphorbia shown here is a laxative!- we can still enjoy them whether in the garden or in a vase in our room. I find these more delightful than cultivars- they seem to be naughtier, tinier cousins-daring you to pick them up. It was my son, in fact, who noticed the Butterfly bush with its deep scent- much nicer than any perfume or room freshener you could buy!
Such bits of wild spaces in the city attract bees, butterflies and birds- I heard the most delightful singing of birds when I was picking these flowers up. As birdsong has decreased by 60% in the UK, wildflowers and spaces are the right thing to have in your garden. Even one small container or pot with wildflowers will attract bees and butterflies as I know.

This is a photo of my son, trying out some bread with herbs made at a gardening workshop. Once children get into growing things and tasting them, they become not only keen gardeners but less fussy eaters. Children are very tactile creatures, observing, tasting, smelling any thing they can. I was surprised to see my son trying out the flavours of different herbs. Last week, he went to a pizza making party and told me he put mushrooms in his pizza which he used to hate in the past. The peer pressure of other children also helps!
So take your children gardening, and if it is safe, let them feel and taste herbs. It will make them good eaters for the rest of their lives.

I never believe how hardy some plants are.
These are my new mint plants coming through in the spring. I had forgotten to water them last summer and snow had covered the pot in winter. But again, here I see that the mint comes up again and again. The mint teaches me a lesson of resilience and hardiness!
Per weight, herbs are more expensive to buy from the market. So to be canny saver yet lazy gardener, I grow herbs more than vegetables which are need more care and space. Herbs take up very little space, can grow indoors and outdoors, protect other plants and provide amazing flavours to the food. They also look very pretty, attract bees and smell good!

In the spring, amazingly beautiful weeds spring out of nowhere. People seem to not like or enjoy the beautiful colours they bring- with no effort or cost. These weeds grow anywhere, cracks and crevices, with no need for watering or fertilisers. They seem to be very hardy and resistant, coming up every year, despite being pulled out all the time. In spirit of these resilient creatures, I thought I should let them stay and play in my garden too. Some are quite useful like the nettles (soups) and chickweed (for salads) and they grow in my garden, welcome and cheerful.
Below is a photo of a house nearby with its gloriously sunny and hardy crop of ‘weeds’ that never fails to bring a smile to my face.

A nurse put 100 gloves into 4 containers. She puts gloves in the containers in such a way that each container has two more gloves than the one before. How many gloves are in each container?
Answer: 22, 24, 26, and 28 gloves.
Let X be the number of gloves in the first container. Then there are X+2 gloves in the 2-nd container, X+4 gloves in the 3-rd container, and X+6 gloves in the 4-th container. Hence, we have X+X+2+X+4+X+6=100. Solving for X, we get X=22 gloves in the first container, 24 gloves in the 2-nd container, 26 gloves in the 3-rd container and 28 gloves in the 4-th container.

In this problem each letter stands for one digit and has the same value throughout the equation. Find the appropriate digits to make the following subtraction problem work.
Find the largest number that can be divided into 701, 1059, 1417 and 2312 and leaves the same remainder. Trial and error will work, but there is a much simpler way to find the number.
Answer: Subract each number from every other. We get 895,1253, 1611, 716, 358 and 358. Notice 358 = 2 x 179. Thus, the only number that can divide in every case with no remainder is 179. 179 is the divisor we want. By checking, one sees that it will always leave a remainder of 164.

Melanie had 7.0 dimes in her bank. Her dad gave her 8.0 dimes, and she gave her mother 4.0 dimes. How many dimes does Melanie have now? Answer:

Check out the best dimes from this year's Preseason action!
Check out the best dimes from this year's Preseason action! About the NBA: The NBA is the premier professional basketball league in the United States and Canada.

With 39 more dimes, Steve Nash will pass Mark Jackson for 3rd all-time in career assists.
Unlike some of my past pieces here in NBA.com/Philippines, I have found this one on the Los Angeles Lakers’ Steve Nash one of the hardest to write. Difficult—because he has always been one of the players that I have looked up to and now, at the twilight of his career, a litany of past and present injuries have slowly robbed the former back-to-back MVP of his health and—indirectly—an opportunity for us all to continue on watching him play in basketball biggest stage.
Currently ranked fourth all-time in the NBA’s career assist ladder,[i] he is in my opinion, my generation’s last true pass-first point guard. Like Earvin “Magic” Johnson, John Stockton, and Jason Kidd before him, Nash has that special ability to make his teammates better (and potentially wealthy come contract negotiations).
Today’s point guards—outside of Rajon Rondo, Ricky Rubio, and to a certain extent Kendall Marshall—are built a little more in the mold of a Russell Westbrook, John Wall, Kyrie Irving, and Derrick Rose: Scoring point guards who are relied upon to be their team’s primary or secondary scorer rather than their main facilitator.

Running thousands of trains each day, the Dutch Railways, (NS) always aims to improve their customer satisfaction along the complete customer journey. The digital experience is key to driving higher customer satisfaction scores and happier users. Raft partnered with NS to drive the digital strategy and experience across the customer journey with a focus on in-station and onboard experience.
After research and field observations, we developed a set of concepts that could be adopted internally. The concepts were intentionally visualized in a fidelity that felt feasible yet flexible. The visual fidelity of a concept influences how people react to it. If it is too detailed, people tend to critique rather than build upon the idea. When it's just right, it allows for an open discussion where the client becomes a part of the design team.
Working towards a common direction, it helps to have a shared framework. Typical design thinking tools like customer journeys and design principles are not familiar to people outside of design circles, and therefore not always the best tool for documenting a design system. Raft helped NS translate their cultural principles into a design philosophy. The philosophy consists of a set of statements which frame the relationship between the customer and NS. It can be used to help any employee understand how to improve the customer journey from the customer's perspective.
What information is most relevant when people are in a hurry? Important information has more emphasis when unnecessary information is removed.
NS wanted to empower their employees to create new concepts to improve the customer experience. To ensure that the effort is focused the right way, those ideas must be put into perspective. We developed a list of heuristics questions that NS can use to evaluate new concepts. The questions allow people to dissect their ideas into its basic components and functions, and to rate them against the design philosophy. This system helps teams take decisions and guides iterations to improve ideas that work together towards a larger vision.
We delivered a digital strategy deck, extensive set future-thinking digital concepts, and a customer journey poster. To create excitement around the deliverables and their use within the organization, we produced a video that shows a possible future of train travel. The story presents the design philosophy and how it will help steer the creation of many smaller concepts into a choreography of ideas that work together and are intuitively understood by travelers.

Here I go once again into the mouth of madness.
We’re nearing the end of Outlast and this episode beings to ramp up the tension quite a bit for the finale (going up Thursday). Catch the episode below!

Hello everyone, my name is Jane Sutton and I’m a 47 year-old single mom with three daughters. I never imaged in my life that I would be learning Sign Language, especially at my age, but my teenage twins acquired a rare disorder that has left one of them deaf.
Like most teenagers, Meredith wants to belong, but now has to adjust to a radical new way of life. The twins and I attended some ASL classes at the community college, but I withdrew early on. I simply couldn’t keep up; my brain isn’t as spry as the girls.
I’ve decided to go ahead and get started on a new path to learning with this program. My expectations are to be better equipped in communicating with Meredith, as well as those in our local Deaf Community. It’s been a huge transition in our lives and I hope soon things we’ll start to go smoothly. While I’ve read a few posts, it doesn’t seem like there’s anyone else with a situation like mine. I would love to hear from someone with similar circumstances; it would make it seem like less of a challenge when there are other people like you. Thank you for your time, Jane.
you are right, you just never know what's around the corner in life. It sounds as though you have adjusted to the new situation well.
I hope people get in touch with you, having a support network is worth so much.
Good luck to you. It seems harder to learn as we get older. I just turned 50 and started to learn ASL two years ago when my husband and I met Tanny,(who was born deaf) our friend lives on an island where not many people know ASL. I am British so knew a little BSL. Still a thing that may help the old brain is Niacinimida OR niacin, just a B Vitamin so it will not hurt to give it a go. I take it a few times a day...Just in cast it works. I must say I do seem to remember things a little easier. Enjoy and good luck to you and your family. Love Linda.

Baker was one of the military leaders of the Texas Revolution. He served as a private at the battle of Gonzales, at the Grass Fight, and at engagements connected with the Siege of Béxar in December 1835. On March 1, 1836, he was elected captain of Company D, First Regiment of Texan Volunteers, the largest company in Sam Houston’s army. John P. Borden served as his first lieutenant. On Houston’s retreat into East Texas after the disasters at the Alamo and Goliad, Baker refused to abandon the line of the Brazos River. For several days his company, on detached duty, guarded the ford at San Felipe, where most of his men resided, thus preventing Santa Anna’s army from turning Houston’s left flank and forcing his retreat toward the San Jacinto River. On March 29, 1836, when Houston abandoned his position at Groce’s Retreat, Baker burned San Felipe to prevent its capture by the enemy. He contended that the destruction of the town was a result of Houston’s orders; Houston said otherwise. Baker rejoined the main army on April 14, 1836, and commanded Company D of Col. Edward Burleson’s First Regiment of Texas Volunteers at the battle of San Jacinto, where he was slightly wounded. In 1839 the Congress appointed him a brigadier general in the militia of the republic for a campaign against the Indians on the Brazos. In 1842 he was reappointed brigadier general and raised a company in response to Gen. Adrián Woll’s seizure of San Antonio. He paraded his company on the Harris County courthouse square on September 28, and “made a very eloquent and appropriate reply” to the presentation of his company flag.

A nurse put 100 gloves into 4 containers. She puts gloves in the containers in such a way that each container has two more gloves than the one before. How many gloves are in each container?
Answer: 22, 24, 26, and 28 gloves.
Let X be the number of gloves in the first container. Then there are X+2 gloves in the 2-nd container, X+4 gloves in the 3-rd container, and X+6 gloves in the 4-th container. Hence, we have X+X+2+X+4+X+6=100. Solving for X, we get X=22 gloves in the first container, 24 gloves in the 2-nd container, 26 gloves in the 3-rd container and 28 gloves in the 4-th container.

Dr. Johnson needs to buy the same number of needles and syringes. The syringes are sold in packages of 6 and the needles are sold in packages of 10. What’s the smallest number of packages of syringes, and the smallest number of packages of needles, that Dr. Johnson can buy to have a matching number of each?
Answer: 5 packages of syringes and 3 packages of needles.
Dr. Johnson needs to come up with the smallest number that is divisible by both 6 and 10.
Since 6=2×3 and 10=2×5, the smallest number that is divisible by 6 and 10 is 2x3x5=30.
Therefore, Dr. Johnson needs 30/6=5 packages of syringes, and 30/10=3 packages of needles.
