Helen Garner’s powerful novel The Spare Room has won the second annual Barbara Jefferis Award.
Beating fellow Text author Toni Jordan, whose debut novel Addition was also also on the shortlist, Helen Garner claimed the $35,000 prize for ‘the best novel written by an Australian author that depicts women and girls in a positive way or otherwise empowers the status of women and girls in society’.
The Barbara Jefferis Award is a terrific new addition to the Australian literary landscape, just in its second year, and we are very proud to have two Text books on the shortlist. We congratulate Helen Garner, whose list of prizes for The Spare Room now includes the Victorian Premier’s Prize for Fiction and the Queensland Premier’s Prize, and shortlistings for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, the NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Fiction and the ALS Gold Medal.
Barbara Jefferis was a feminist, a founding member of the Australian Society of Authors, its first female President and, in the words of Thomas Keneally, “a rare being amongst authors, being both a fine writer but also organisationally gifted. She was a professional and internationally published writer long before most of us dreamed of such things”.
The Award is paid from the Barbara Jefferis Literary Fund, which was established by a bequest from Barbara Jefferis’s husband, ABC film critic John Hinde, who died in 2006. The Australian Society of Authors is Trustee of the Fund.

Conference Organizers: Learn From Your Local Mall
If you are trying to arrange a large conference for your business or industry, it can be a daunting task. It’s your responsibility to attract as many people as possible, and once they are there, they need to be suitably entertained. There are safety and security concerns to think about, too, not to mention trying to manage – potentially – thousands of people in one place.
There is plenty of standard advice on organizing a fantastic conference or corporate event, of course, and I’ve covered some great ideas on this blog before. And there is plenty of inspiration out there if you look hard enough – including in some surprising places.
Take your local mall, for example. They are huge areas which exist for the sole purpose of attracting enormous amounts of people – and there is a lot that business event coordinators can learn from them. Let’s take a closer look at some examples of the ways that conference organizers can be inspired by mall management.
It’s not just about the main event.
Malls always have a few headline stores and big names to pull in the vast majority of customers. But that’s not all there is to them – there are places to eat, independent stores, and a lot more going on than just shopping. As a conference organizer, you should be thinking a little deeper about the experience you are providing to your audience. Yes, the big names and themes are essential for drawing people in, but they will expect more once they arrive.
They put the customer at the heart of everything.
When you go to a mall, everything is built to serve the audience. Security guards protect them, shops serve them, and kiosk information systems and customer service desks show them where they need to go. So, as an organizer, don’t make the show about you or the business, you work for. Make it clear it’s about giving something to the audience, and entice them by explaining how they will benefit from attending. Without customers, malls will die – and the same principle applies to your conference.
Safety is of utmost importance.
It’s easy to forget about the safety and security of your guests when you are organizing a conference. After all, what could possibly go wrong? The simple truth is you have to plan for anything to happen and ensure that everyone in the conference team knows what to do in the event of an emergency. If an accident occurs in a mall, their complete security and safety procedures will be under a lot of security, as will yours be at your conference. And if you are at fault, it can be incredibly damaging to your brand name.
Quality of venue and presentation is critical.
Finally, malls are designed as an environment to give people a great experience. And I have to say, many business and industry conferences I attend these days appear to have forgotten about this vital point. Nothing is enticing about holding an event in an old, dilapidated classroom, or a bland, soulless room. If you want to encourage attendees to be more engaged, you have to pick the right venue and decorate it, so they remember.

Usually I write my all blog posts in Finnish but this time I decided to share you some of my English language skills! Well, on Monday we started Service English course which includes these themes: how to negotiate, how to service in English, some cultural differences etc. One very huge and important subject was Cultural Intelligence. Let me tell you more about it:
Cultural Intelligence (well- known also as CQ) is a system consisting of three interactive components: cultural knowledge, cross-cultural skills and cultural metacognition.
Cultural Knowledge - is composed of content (what) and process (how) knowledge of other cultures, such as how and when people express disagreement with each other.
Cross- Cultural Skills - consist of a broad set of skills instrumental for intercultural effectiveness, specifically:
- relational skills
- tolerance of uncertainty
- perceptual acuity
Cultural Metacognition - is the knowledge of and control over one´s thinking and learning activities in the specific domain of cultural experiences and strategies.
There are lots of information available in Web, I would like to share you one link if you are interested about this subject.
You can find more information here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/iese/2015/03/24/why-you-need-cultural-intelligence-and-how-to-develop-it/#d324a0917d68
And if you don´t remember this week we are studying like crazy because on the next week starts the second working period (I will do it in LADEC where I will do work in service design project).

When was the last time you saw Robert De Niro in a film where he looked like he was actually trying, let alone exceptional? Off the top of my head, I think it was Stardust.
When was the last time you saw Robert De Niro in a film where he looked like he was actually trying, let alone exceptional? Off the top of my head, I think it was Stardust. And that was back in 2007. Before that, Hell, for a really good role you have to go back to Heat and Casino in the mid/late-1990’s. Thankfully, in Being Flynn, we see some of De Niro’s best work in years. I was beginning to wonder if he really had checked out completely.
Nick Flynn is a twenty-something aspiring writer and poet that doesn’t have a lot of direction in life at the moment. He grew up with his mom while his con-man, self pro-claimed writer/poet father, Johnathan Flynn, spent most of his time in jail or not around. John Flynn now spends his time drinking too much and pontificating on how he is one of the greatest American writers and his epic novel will make him a household name. While working in a Boston homeless shelter, Nick crosses paths with his father after 18 years apart and is faced with a lot of unresolved issues about him.
Being Flynn is definitely a dark movie, though sometimes darkly funny. Paul Dano is great here as Nick, the son that has been under the shadow of an absent, deluded writer father all is life. He seems to wear his troubles and uncertainty like clothes that weigh too much but but have been on him so long he doesn’t know how to take them off. He becomes challenged to confront an entire childhood of John’s absence, and in turn, his own growing substance abuse after his father is forced out of his apartment. Does the apple really fall that far from the tree, can Nick be his own person, and does he separate himself from his father completely or attempt a chance for any kind of relationship?
Being Flynn is narrated in parts by Nick, and by his father John. It’s interesting in this case to see the two points of view expressed this way. Sometimes voice-over can be irritating, but here it’s a positive thing. We also see much of Nick’s childhood through flashbacks. His mom, played wonderfully by Julianne Moore, struggles with two jobs, her alcohol issues, and a string of different boyfriends that each act as revolving door father figures for Nick. I love this scene where the camera pans back and forth from Nick to the guy throwing the ball, and each time the camera pans back there’ s a different guy tossing the ball to Nick.
Robert De Niro plays Johnathan just how you hope he would: like he means it. He expresses anger and racism at those he doesn’t really understand and he’s full of delusions of grandeur of being a great writer while spiraling downwards into periods of violent dementia. There’s purpose and energy in his performance that I don’t think I’ve seen in a while.
Being Flynn isn’t perfect, but it’s a solid film with strong performances by everyone in it. I think that’s the strongest element. And the material itself will connect to some more than others. Those with father/son stuff may feel closer to it. The film is based on Nick Flynn’s novel, Another Bullshit Day in Suck City, which, by the way, is one of the best book titles ever. But big kudos to De Niro in this. I hope we see more work like this from him. A solid three and a half kittenhands.
~ Neil T. Weakley, your average movie-goer not oblivious to the fact that the Johnathan Flynn character was a taxi driver in this.

The following are actual questions that are laced in the comments on this blog from various pages. You would think some of the answers to these questions would be obvious to the people asking them, but it’s often hard for people caught up in negative circumstances, or a negative frame of mind, to view their situation honestly and to clearly see what’s needed to fix it. I’m delighted that people feel comfortable enough at Magickal Connections to ask what they want to ask. I sincerely try to think of the best answer, the most helpful answer, the most needed answer possible to each and every individual leaving a question. If anyone else has some good advice to pass along to these people, please do so with a comment. Fresh insight is always appreciated! *Note: I’m posting the questions unedited, as they appear in the original post.
#1 ~ Greeting Queen Amythyst, first of all I think your presence is so beautiful, well I have a trial that is suppose to start the 23rd of this month. It has been going for at least a year now and they have charged me with felon poss. of a firearm. Well I’m tired of going back and forth (which I know the universe is working) so I simply want the court cases to either disappear or for the case to get dismissed/not guilty. I have been to jail before and it’s something i never want to do again. I’m considering the beef tongue spell for the outcome I’m looking for along with something to help on me not ever going to jail again. If there’s anything else that you think you could shine some light on please feel free! Thanks in advance
My Reply ~
Just a quick note here before we get to the specifics… If you don’t want to ever go to jail again, one sure way to prevent this from happening is not to break the law. I know, this seems so obvious, but for some reason the universe insisted I say it.
One word of caution, and that is that the universe, the laws of karma, they all work towards justice and proper endings. There are spells out there that should not be cast if you’re actually guilty, because the energy will come back to bite you. Think about this before you resort to spell casting for this situation. If you’re actually not guilty, then go for it with a clean conscience and pure intentions.
This is my little light, and I hope it’s shining! Best wishes for your future.
#2 ~ My ex has decided to just come back into my life, use and discard my body and emotions and I was looking for a binding spell. I wanted to make sure #3 was the most appropriate for the occasion. I’m tired of him popping up whenever he feels like and then disappear like nothing ever happened.
My Reply ~
Excuse me…Your ex “decided” to come back into your life? You sound as though you don’t realize that You have a choice here, that You can make a decision about whether you want this individual to come back into your life or not. Spells are okay, and I’m not saying that you don’t need one, or could not successfully use one. But before we resort to spell casting, lets take a good look at the situation and what you could do mundanely to correct it.
If you’re tired of this man popping up in your life and using you: 1) Cut all ties, and I mean all ties. Sometimes, even without knowing it, we might send mixed signals to an ex… I’m done with you– but it’s okay if you still call and I’ll talk to you, or it’s okay if we still see each other occasionally, or it’s okay for you to interfere in my life. CUT ALL TIES 2) If your ex does not take this finality well, or still tries contacting you, and you’ve exhausted all efforts to stop this, like changing your phone number, blocking him on social sites, etc.; it’s time to get a restraining order and make it official. 3) Stop allowing someone to control you; find your inner strength; know that you are an adult, not a toy for this individual to play with at will.
First try the mundane way. If you do, and you’ve done all the important things you have to do to keep this individual away and they still wind up in your life…then pull out the magick.
#3 ~ PLEASE HELP ….. PLEASE!!!!
I’m Cuban we only do spells for health,wealth,luck,and cleanses. unable to go to Cuba I Was desperate So I got help from a very old Mexican lady we know to help bring me and my hubby together that PEOPLE SPENT YEARS doing voodoo to break us up. She took me to Bury our names on paper, birthdays,pics,and his socks in a grave yard with pins and very colorful ribbons i HEARD it’s for separation. Is it true please help.
My Reply ~
First, Since you said that you’re Cuban and can’t do this type of spell (a love spell to reunite a couple), I’m trying to wrap my mind around the difference between just doing a love spell on your own, or participating with someone else to do a love spell. In any case, the fact that you participated with this lady means– you did the spell, honey. Second, how do you know that people were doing voodoo to break you up? Most of the time, people involved in this kind of activity are very discreet. And more often than not, when a couple’s relationship is just done and over, it’s just done and over naturally, all on it’s own. Not all relationships are meant to last forever.
About the spell, I’ve never heard of it. And again, trying to figure out why you would think that someone who did a spell for you (or with you) would be working a spell for the opposite outcome that you intended.
Beware of paranoia.
#4 ~ I have a question with binding. If someone is binding you would you have a dream off someone cutting you ooen and takes just your internal organs and sews you up. I also am an angelic being thats been reincarnated.
My Reply ~
I don’t do dream interpretations. The symbolism involved is so unique and personal to every individual that it’s hard to say what a dream like this might mean. It could mean that you’re afraid of showing your true inner-self to most people, or it could mean you watched a slasher movie before bed. Hard to say. I would say that if someone bound you, you would no longer be able to do, say, or indulge in whatever it is that they bound you from. That’s the whole purpose behind a binding.
#5 ~ Will burning these candles one timework do i have to burn them. Again suppose they turn black while they are burning do i to burn them a gain ehere does i get these herbs from can i put more than one person name in the can dle do i buried the glass to [*Note: this question pertains to a spell on the “Command & Compel” page at this blog… https://wytchymystique.com/spells/command-compel-spells/ ]
My Reply ~
I’m killing two birds with one stone here ~ The answer is yes to both questions. When bringing something to you, keep the remnants from your spell in a safe place, or even in a place that is fitting the intention, that is the “stuff” from a love spell under your bed; a mojo bag filled with the remnants from a money spell in your purse; etc. Second question: not only is it okay to do a spell more than once on the same person for a different request; it’s also okay to repeat a spell on occasion, especially when you’d like to add a different twist to the outcome, for the same request…. also, I don’t really think the word “request” is quite right in these situations, but since this is how you worded your question, this is how I answered it, thinking it would be easier for you to understand. A spell by no means is a “request”. When you cast a spell you are deliberately and willfully manipulating energy in the universe to manifest a change, to move energy, and it certainly will. The word “request” implies that you are asking for something.
#6 ~ Is this spell white magic? [*Note: this question pertains to a spell on the “Command & Compel” page at this blog… https://wytchymystique.com/spells/command-compel-spells/ ]
My Reply ~
Depending upon the magickal practitioner you ask, you’d probably get a variety of different answers. Even in the occult world there are extremists at both ends. There are the fluffy bunnies who are ever in fear of getting their feet wet and doing some ballsy magic that’s got some in-your-face punch to it because they might offend someone or something, and at the other end of the spectrum are people who love the dark aspect of everything, the darker and more warped the better, and they are always searching for something darker. Personally, I would say this magic falls in the shady gray area. Follow your own moral guides. Cast at your own discretion.
#7 ~ Hello I am just curious about doing the command spell. I watched another witch video and she said to use the Black candle for yourself and the white candle for the person you want to command, but you’re saying do the opposite. So now I am really confused. Also can this command spell be used for a group of people or a entity, ie a company. No one specific person, name unknown.
My Reply ~
“Also can this command spell be used for a group of people or a entity, ie a company. No one specific person, name unknown.”
Yes to all of the above. And to reiterate what I sent in the email– If you ask 5 witches how to do one particular spell, you’re going to get 5 different answers. Spell crafting is like cooking, and everyone does things just a bit differently and uniquely, suiting to them and their energy and their associations. As I said, “It’s okay if my potato salad is a little different than your potato salad. I’m betting that it’s all good.”
#8 ~ Does good magic really exist?
My Reply ~
Of course it exists. It exists in every healing spell, every spell to bring positive change to someone’s life. It exists in the form of unexplained miracles and connection with the Divine. Good magick can be found everywhere, even in the prayers of people who don’t believe in magick…It’s all “Magick”, honey.

Residents in the Maldives report seeing a low flying aircraft on the morning that Flight MH370 went missing. The jet was described as being white with red stripes, similar to the Malaysia airline livery, and flew over the island of Kudahuvadhoo making an incredibly loud noise as it flew low across the sky.
Residents claim the plane flew towards Addu Atoll near the southern tip of the Maldives.
This sighting fits the theory proposed by Chris Goodfellow, that suggests MH370 suffered a catastrophic on board fire, and turned back for an emergency landing at Langkawi International Airport, as this airport was nearer than Kuala Lumpur and offered a easier approach. However it is then possible that the aircraft flight crew were overcome by toxic smoke and the aircraft flew on over Langkawi in a south-westerly direction to the Maldives.
Extrapolate the direction of travel westward from the point the aircraft was last “seen”, through Langkawi, and this puts the aircraft in the vicinity of the Maldives at approximately the correct time. Chris suggests that search efforts should be concentrated to the west of the Maldives.
However, if this theory was correct, would not the aircraft be picked up firstly by radar at WMKL as it passed overhead, and then by military radar from the joint RAF/USAF installation on Diego Garcia (FJDG), to the south of the Maldives?

For many of us, a New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. But for a caregiver who bears the noble yet heavy responsibility of looking after a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease, the start of a new year brings about an opportunity to alleviate feelings of burnout and set goals to achieve a much-needed balance in life. Caring for a loved one is a heavy emotional burden, especially so for persons with dementia.
The fact that the disease is fatal in nature and gets progressively worse makes the caregiving journey even harder. A 2016 study funded by the National Healthcare Group and carried out by Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s (TTSH) Institute of Geriatrics and Active Ageing on its patients’ caregivers at its Memory Clinic found that forty to sixty percent of caregivers suffer from what they term as “Worry about Performance” stress, which stems from their feelings of inadequacy and self-criticism, and may lead to burnout in the long run.
A commonly overlooked fact is that people fulfilling a caregiving role also require care and support and that sometimes, the best way to care for your charge is to care for yourself first. Here are a few suggestions that are simple and achievable to start your year on a good note.
Grow Your Circle Of Care
Many caregivers take it upon themselves to handle the role, either out of a mindset that they can cope providing round-the-clock assistance alone, or a reluctance to trouble other family members. The truth is, a complex disease like dementia requires a village of help. In the new year, resolve to get more family members involved by sharing with them your experience and outsourcing some tasks. Ask your daughter to keep an eye on your loved one with dementia while you head out for a haircut, or rotate feeding duties with your husband to free up some time for you to engage in what you enjoy doing.
Ease The Tension
Taking on too much at a time can more often than not be counterproductive when it comes to providing care effectively. Go easy on yourself and find outlets for your stress to prevent it from bottling up inside. Set aside 20 minutes each day to engage in activities that relax your body and clear your mind, like yoga, walking, or simply soaking in a warm tub. You will find yourself returning to your duties more refreshed with wind under your sails.
Seek The Empowerment And Respite You Deserve
Caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s can be challenging. Frequent mood swings, bouts of forgetfulness, and personality changes can disrupt not just the life of the person with dementia, but yours as well. Get help from the professionals and learn how to provide assistance by equipping yourself with knowledge on dementia and the needs of persons who have them. ADA’s Family of Wisdom (FoW) programme reaches out to caregivers by encouraging the sharing of caregiving experiences and tips among fellow caregivers, while providing emotional support and respite through social-recreational activities. Find out more about FoW here.
Help Your Loved Ones Create A Bucket List
Think bucket list and crazy activities like bungee jumping and a far-flung trip to the Africa comes to mind. Like your new year’s resolutions, it’s better to keep your loved one with dementia’s bucket list real and simple. It can range from something as doable as visiting a foreign country they have never been to before, to picking up a brain-healthy activity like learning the foxtrot. A bucket list allows a person with dementia to counter the symptoms of the disease by seizing back control and gaining a renewed sense of purpose and optimism. Watching them strike items off the list happily can also bring you much needed joy and satisfaction.
Dementia can strike someone suddenly and unexpectedly, and as one’s mental faculty declines over time, it can be harder to help them sort out their affairs. As negative as it may sound, you would be wise to start the new year with the end in mind by taking care of legal and financial matters while your loved one is still of sound mind. Get their essential documents in order, be it living wills, title deeds, or birth certificates, and earn yourself a peace of mind by being prepared.

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers...the place you can always find something bookish to indulge in.
Today, we're playing host to a blog tour...yes, a blog tour on a Sunday...starring a Children's Storybook that's a bit out of the norm. Curious what I mean? No worries, you're about to find out. Ladies and gents, get ready to meet a fellow that one up'd the lady who swallowed a fly, today's book of choice is....
I Ate a Cicada Today
Written, Illustrated and Sung by
Big Bound Books, LLC
I applaud the creativity in both rhyme and illustration...even if it does step outside the box and into the odd territory. I can appreciate the irony in some of the situations encountered as well as the information shared...even if it can be creepy. But the realization I came too was surprising even to me. I can honestly say that I do believe that the included CD of the book, sung by the author himself (applauds), is a MUCH better match up for this rhyming tale than the book itself. Yep. I said it.
It's one of those rare occasions that another media format nails it for a wider audience than the one I usually favor. Why...you might ask? Well, that's actually pretty easy to explain. Personally I think at times the story told steps into the category of rude. How so? Well, let's see: the giraffe's best feature was his knees....the teddy bear will whip the stuffin' out of ya....a ladybug that spoke not like a lady. Then you have the illustrations to ponder. While their simplicity works for the book, the crass nature of a few did not strike a homerun with me. I'm sorry, but while I'm certain the peeing Airedale will pass tiny readers inspection of the page, not all older children or adults are gonna take the same shine to it. The audio version allows you to take the humor from the verses in a style reminiscent of Adam Sandler (just look of the Turkey Song or Hannukah) without as much offense, or at least it did for me.
So, final verdict?
A tale worth reading, with rhymes worth sharing, but in which format to do it....I'll have to leave up to you. I'm not one to dissuade anyone from a paper copy of a read, and it DOES come with the humorously sung version which is something to hear.....just go into it knowing what you're in store for. It may find a niche with little boys as opposed to girls, again considering the content, but it's not inappropriate for either. Case closed....or rather final page turned.
Special thanks to Samantha at JKSCommunications Literary Publicity for the chance to participate in this tour and the review copy. (THANKS!) For more information on this title as well as their future promotions,be sure to like them on Facebook, or follow along on Twitter. This book is available now via Big Bound Books, LLC so be on the lookout for it on a bookstore shelf or virtual retailer of your choosing.
Until next time...happy reading!

Opposition DPP acting president Peter Mutharika, who handed himself over to police in Blantyre in the morning of Monday, arrived in Lilongwe in the afternoon and charged with two counts.
Mutharika who was welcomed by hundreds of DPP supporters who converged at National Police Headquarters (Area 30) in Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe, demanding his release and that of the party’s officials implicated in the Commission of Inquiry report into the death of former president the late Bingu wa Mutharika, was formally charged.
He has been slapped with a charge of soliciting to break the law which is contrary to section 124 of the penal code. He has also been charged with perjury.
But his personal assiatnt Ben Phiri responded by accusing the government of a “smear attempt”, designed to sabotage Mutharika’s campaign to unseat President Joyce Banda in next year’s elections.
“This is a political case,” Phiri told Nyasa Times.
“People are dying of hunger, instead of delaing with the economic hardships, they are dealing with this case,” he added.
Asked if Mutharika was fit and well to remain in police custody while processing bail applications, Phiri said the opposition leader is “in good health and strong.”
Mutharika is being held at Lumbadzi Police Station in Lilongwe.
Malawi’s government said it has arrested at least 10 former top government officials for allegedly plotting a coup to stop then-Vice President Joyce Banda from becoming president after the death of former President Bingu wa Mutharika last year.
The arrests Monday set off violence in the commercial capital, Blantyre, as supporters of Mutharika’s former ruling party protested in the streets. Police fired tear gas to break up the crowd.
The mob kept on throwing stones and chanting ‘walila nalo boma miyezi itatu, walila nalo boma miyezi itatu.’
Information Minister Moses Kunkuyu said the arrests were carried out based on evidence in a report on the death of Mutharika in April. The report, presented to Banda last week, concluded that top officials at the time conspired to try to prevent Banda from assuming power.
Meanwhile, arrested Economic and Planning Minister Goodall Gondwe, former Information minister Patricia Kaliati and former Sports Minister Symon Vuwa Kaunda have suffered hypertension in police custody.
George Chaponda, secretary general for opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), has confirmed the development, saying he visited the three in police custody in Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe, and found them in ‘bad shape’.Follow and Subscribe Nyasa TV :

Not entirely clear on the concept....greenspun.com : LUSENET : Internet BOB Test : One Thread
Does this mean that messages will be separated into threads or cubbyholes, and therefore "missible"? That is, when I enter this site, will I have to click on multiple threads to see if they contain new messages? I sort of like the linear way the E-mail messages present themselves, so I can see all of them, delete the ones I don't want, and scan for subjects or authors.

HARTFORD -- Lawmakers have asked member to be available for a vote on the state budget during the week of October 23.
The lawmakers have been engaged in closed-door talks claiming continued progress toward a bipartisan agreement on a new two-year budget. Connecticut has been without a new tax-and-spending plan since July 1.
Democratic leaders have asked members to keep the week free for a vote. Leaders seemed more confident that a deal could be reached soon.
The group is scheduled to met again Thursday. Democratic House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz said Wednesday, he hopes they'll "get to the point where we can then engage the governor."
Lawmakers ultimately want Malloy to sign off on any tentative agreement before it's brought before the General Assembly for a vote.
The leaders say they've made progress on issues such as school funding and structural budget changes. However, they acknowledge some big issues remain, including funding teacher pensions.

C.J. and I had our 3rd appointment with our RA (Reproductive Acupuncturist). So far, so good. The actual treatments are so uneventful and painless. I was a little naive and was picturing painful and huge needles all over our bodies, but that hasn’t been the case. Also, it forces us to sit still for 30 minutes with no distractions and rest, so it has been a nice (and expensive) way to relax.
We have been overly impressed by our RA and her dedication to our journey. She is doing a lot of research on our ‘issues’ and even reached out to one of the main acupuncture doctors for male infertility. She said protocol for new patients is to be treated 2 X week for 12 weeks, but she feels since we are so healthy and have made a lot of changes she suggested that we come 2 X week for 6 weeks. We are probably going to spread out the treatments a little more than that, but after the initial 12 treatments are over we will both get tested again to see if there are any improvements. We are really praying that God uses her knowledge and wisdom to continue the healing process of our bodies and become fertile again 🙂

NYCAASC 2018: Emergence Workshops
NYCAASC 2018 > Workshops: Track 1
Critical Nostalgia: Negotiating Heritage for Asian artists in the North American Diaspora
GC 261, 11:45 - 1:10
Often caught between the white gaze of the art world and our own self-romanticizing pitfalls, visual artists have used critical histories to help dismantle stereotypes of exoticism and Orientalism. At the same time, there are aspects of our identity that could become complicit to settler-colonialism and other forms of oppression if left unspoken. This workshop explores the nuances of dis/empowerment when it comes to denying or including visual elements of our heritage in artwork. It shows the ways in which Asian artists from the diaspora have navigated their identity and its presentation through a critical nostalgia.
Florence Yee is a 2.5-generation, Canto-struggling visual artist based in Montreal/Tiotia:ke. She holds a BFA from Concordia University, and is a MFA candidate in OCAD U's interdiscplinary art, media and design program. Through her practices, she explores her relationship to her language, her grandmother, and her queer, racialized self.

Hearts vs Aberdeen Live Streaming
Outside the UK, you might only hear football fans talk off the Old Firm. However, as fans in the UK know, Aberdeen have a truly massive and loyal support, a fan base that remained close to the club even after 2 decades of poor success on the pitch aside from a 1995 league cup victory over Dundee. This loyal following was repaid as the Dons defeated Inverness at Parkhead to lift the League Cup and have run Celtic close on a number of seasons now, aided by the relegation of Glasgow Rangers.
Aberdeen FC remain one of the most successful clubs in Scotland outside the Old Firm however, with 4 Scottish League titles (the first in 1954, the last in 1984) as well as 7 Scottish Cup victories including a famous penalty shootout victory over Celtic at Hampden in 1990. In front of 60,493 fans, Aberdeen collected what would be their last Scottish Cup but Dons fans remain optimistic as the club have reached the semi finals of both cup competitions in recent years on more than one occasion.
Our Next Live Stream: Hearts vs Aberdeen, latest links posted on 22-07-18 .
Live AFC Streaming:
At time of writing, AFC TV remains a top source for Dons fans abroad, however, for fans at home in Scotland and in the Granite City, it's likely that Sky Sports and BT Sports will remain the main source for live satellite feeds of Aberdeen matches.

Bryggen, Bergen's world heritage site
The 1000 year-old city of Bergen is known as the "Gateway to the Fjords". Its history, culture, people and fantastic nature make it a popular tourist destination. It was once the seat of Norway's kings and the center of most ocean-going commerce in Norway. Today you are more likely to see cruise ships rather than ocean freighters in the harbour which is also home to Norway's largest fish market. The wooden buildings lining Bryggen street were built by the Hanseatic League during the middle ages.
The University of Bergen, including the Sars Centre in the High-Technology Centre, are located near the center of town.
View of Ulriken from Sars
Visitors are kept busy here with a host of attractions and cultural events, both indoors and out. Seven low mountains surround the city, with a number of walking, hiking, and skiing trails. Boat tours of the fjords are popular, and it is relatively quick and inexpensive to take the train to nearby ski resorts (information from Fjord Tours AS) in the winter. The university atmosphere in Bergen contributes to its' bustling nightlife (from Bergen Guide). Visitors will find a wide selection of restaurants, night clubs and concert venues to keep them busy late into the night.

Entering industry events such as the IBM Partner Awards is a good test for a company says Systems, Software & Instrumentation (SSI) sales and marketing manager Kerry Glynn.
SSI won the Best Non-IBM Reseller Solution award last year for its collaboration with British wool supplier H Dawson. [The award has been renamed Best Non-IBM Business Partner Solution for 2008.]
The Christchurch-based software development company customised its Global Trader System using a Jade system and implemented it using IBM xSeries servers to make real-time business information available to H Dawson.
Glynn says the awards are about recognition and reward for the people involved in the project.
“It’s also a good way to see how you measure up against the industry and gain a broader awareness of other companies. A number of people who read about it in Reseller News and other publications contacted us with feedback.”
He says that the company is redesigning its website and will put the logo and award details on the home page.
The company had no expectations that it would win, says Glynn.
“It’s always hard to tell. We thought we had a good chance with the solution that we put forward for the award. The system has been developed further since the awards and the customer [H Dawson] is very happy with it.”
SSI has also had further success with its GlobalBake software system, used in food manufacturers’ processes. New resellers have been appointed in Dubai and Australia.
And SSI would consider entering the awards again. “Next year and beyond we would look at taking part. All the reasons we entered made it worthwhile and if you have a good story to tell then it’s worth entering,” says Glynn.
The company has been operating since 1981 and was made a Jade partner in 1998. “We offer 20 Jade applications to 450 customers in eight countries. This gives us a good spread of customers and we are able to service them via the internet. We’ve installed solutions for people in countries where we have never been to,” Glynn adds.
The company has customers in industries such as food manufacturing, forestry, agriculture and retail.
Entries are now open for the 2008 IBM Business Partner Awards that are held in association with New Zealand Reseller News. Four new categories have been introduced this year: Best Energy-Efficient Solution, Rookie of the Year, Best Co-Marketing Campaign and People’s Choice Reseller Award.
The awards ceremony will be held on Thursday, November 6.

Timberline is offering a new STEM class this quarter: Music Exploration. Students in Mr. Pham's class take an innovative approach to creating original music using a combination of web-based applications, musical instruments, and iPads, all through the lens of the design process. During the course, students will be learn to identify musical genres and instrumentation, use common musical forms in an original composition, and communicate with musical language. The class culminates in a collaborative final project where each student designs an original composition and a student-created group plays the original music. Students will select who is in their performance group by choosing the combination of instruments they think will best represent their design.
The class is very popular. "You could explore different stuff. We get to play around for a while with things like Noteflight and Soundation and then have an assignment on a computer instead of just writing stuff down on a paper," said Alan, a Timberline 6th grader, "Right now I'm importing my score from Noteflight to Soundation and figuring out what it can do with different sounds and voices to make something cool."

The Wilderness Act was signed into law on September 3, 1963 with its concise and poetic definition:
“A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.”
Most likely, a young person today in the U.S. will finish high school and not know of William O. Douglas. For anyone familiar with his legacy, this is insupportable. His ideas and philosophies are fundamental wellsprings for a genuinely democratic society. The thoughts and values expressed by Justice Douglas should be passed on to a new generation and reiterated to all U.S. citizens. The William O. Douglas Film Project is valuable as a vehicle to help secure Justice Douglas’ place in history.
The end result of this project is to create an educational asset for use in institutions, libraries, and media centers for environmental and legal studies. Sales can be structured to allow the institutions public performance rights (free screenings in public venues) for the film.
Numerous streaming services and on-demand cable options have a tremendous growth factor and present an exceptional future opportunity for the distribution of Liberty and Wilderness. Broadcast entities including, but not limited to, national and regional public broadcast stations will also be targeted.
"His environmentalist activities and his belief in the right to be let alone were elements of the same impulse: the need to preserve space from governmental intrusion for the development of the integrated individual. Both realms fostered autonomy of the individual, and the independent consciousness, which, for Douglas, were necessary ingredients for democracy... The depletion of either signified a diminishment of the national character."
Defenses of Solitude: Justice Douglas, the Right to Privacy, and the Preservation of the American Wilderness, Diana Winters, (Ph.D. Dissertation, Harvard University, 2003)

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Religion & Politics' started by Baya Rae 4900, Feb 26, 2012.
don't get it
Could you explain to us how exactly he's making an ass of himself?
By appearing on MSNBC.
Ron Paul doesn't need to do anything to make an ass out of himself, He IS an ass
Damn, I was actually gonna say that. But it wasn't that good of a joke.
In general, I don't like politics...but I do like Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is a typical liberal, he identifies the problems with our current system but he is unwilling to tackle the root of the problem
like a creationist
Don't get all faggoty. I like his stance of isolationalism and that about does it.
Oh man, it's been a good long while since we had some sexy Ron Paul action on this forum.
Personally, I think his "charity will handle it" position got a bit of a black eye following the unfortunate death of his last campaign manager.
I like Hitlers stance on healthcare doesn't mean i like the guy
I'm ashamed of you. Only sutpid people like ron paul. For once I'm not just breaking your balls. Ron Paul gives hope to dateless dissatisfied liberal losers everywhere. If he were elected our country would be DOOMED.
You're basing this argument on...what?
Well, the fact that he'd basically do everything Israel told him, he'd ruin the economy by trying to return to the gold standard, and he'd be the biggest pork-barrel spender we've ever seen.
Also on a side note, went shooting today, fired off about 100 rounds of 7.62X54R, friend also had a .22 so we plinked with that.
PerpA, you're not the only one who wants to see it just for the epic fail factor. Hell, I live here, and a large part of me would like to see it happen. Lazy urbanites who don't vote (except in Presidential years) who rely on welfare and foodstamps would be royally fucked for their laziness. Rural hypocrites who collect their checks for government work while voting for the Tea Party would lose their livelihoods. African and South/Central American farmers would finally have a chance to sell their products because the cessation of agricultural subsidies in the US would fuck the global food market pretty hard (so hard that Europe's own idiotic subsidies wouldn't be a huge impediment.) And every single senior citizen who relies on Medicare while voting against gay rights and screaming about "Obamacare" being evil would die while waiting for treatment.
In short, a better America (and a better world) would emerge from this massive cesspit of fail -- if only it went on for long enough.
The downside is that living in the shitty America required for a better one would be pretty fucking awful (to the point that no rational individual would ever do it.) Hence, I believe that a compromise can be made. Everyone over 70 loses their Medicare entirely and can buy insurance on the free market (the way they want young people to), and can then die early deaths while freeing up valuable medical and financial resources for the younger generations.
It isn't perfect, but I do believe that my modest proposal has some merits. I bet that even Paul Ryan would support it!
no. I want ron paul imprisoned. That is all I want.
Who's going to be running against him in 2012 (or ran in 2008 ) that would do a better job?
Some fucking Tea-tard? Ralph Nader? OBAMA?
Seriously, who the fuck else is going to be worthy of your vote?
A N Y O N E
I'm voting for the Tea-Tard if they are a Republican. I haven't explained my reasons for deciding to do so, however, if you must know why, I'll put it to you this way: Hearing President Obama support the idea of separate but equal was one bridge too far. If the President of the United States, his Chief of Staff, his Press Secretary, and his main Political Adviser think that they can continuously shit on people like me without us defecting to the other side then they are wrong.
I kinda want Ron Paul to win just to see the buthurt it causes when nothing changes.
Isolationism opposes free trade, so it's not exactly the correct term to use.
I somehow doubt he would continue the Bush/Obama policies.
Who will do better than him? Anyone. Who is worthy? Obama.
Take note, everybody. There's four US military vets on this board and only one decent one. That's roughly the percentile that supports Paul.
Barack Obama couldn't sell cocaine to Charlie Sheen.
fuck politics, man.
Didn't you read that news report about his amazing night of homosexual sex and cocaine in a limosuine? He is boss.

Lilium candidum – Madonna lily
£5.00 – £12.00
Oldest flower in cultivation
The Madonna Lily is thought to be one of the oldest flowers in cultivation. It has an extremely evocative scent. This tall, pure white lily can produce up to ten 7-8cm flowers on one stem, once it is settled.
In warmer areas it will flower in spring and be dormant through the summer, sending up more leaves in the autumn.
Light: full sun, partial shade
Soil: well-drained, fertile, moisture retentive
Bulb size: 22/24cm
Care: Plant the bulbs just an inch below the surface of the soil, 12″ apart. Water in well and keep moist during the growing season. Plant somewhere where it will not be baked in the summer when dormant, so where it will receive a little shade from the midday sun. L. candidum may take a season or two to settle down after planting.

The TRU Board has approved an updated forfeit policy. We’re posting it here for clubs to review and it will soon be reflected in the TRU Operating Policies. The RRRC Competitions Committee has also reviewed this new policy and approved.
TRU Forfeit Policy
This policy does not make any intention to supersede or replace the current RRRC competitions policy or how it handles a forfeit. In the eyes of the RRRC a forfeit is a forfeit whether it’s a played game or a no show. The TRU understands that forfeits happen but we do encourage teams to do everything in their power to ensure matches are played.
If a team believes they will not be able to fulfill a match they are required to notify the TRU (Wendy Young, the assigned referee, referee scheduler (Scott Green) and their opponents by Wednesday at 5pm. If notifications are not sent or don’t include the right individuals than the below fees can be assessed:
NON PLAYED FORFEITS
- 1st offense: $150 plus referee costs; $150 to club, rest goes to cover referee fees
- 2nd offense: $300 plus referee costs; $200 to opponent, rest goes to cover referee fees
Further infractions will be sent to TRU Disciplinary Committee or RRRC Competitions as appropriate.
For a match to be considered a played forfeit it must include at least 10 players a side and at least 60 minutes of rugby. This could include guest players from other teams but they must be of age for senior rugby and CIPP’d.
The above notification policy is required for a played forfeit as well, notifications must be sent by Wednesday at 5pm. Upon notification of a played forfeit, referees will be provided as available.
- 1st offense is written warning
- 2nd offense team President must be present at next TRU board call to explain how his or her team will remedy situation
- 3rd offense is $150 plus referee costs; $150 to club, rest goes to cover referee fees
Further infractions shall be sent to TRU Disciplinary Committee or RRRC Competitions Committee as appropriate.
*The RRRC may institute further non-monetary sanctions as per their competitions structure allows for forfeits.

Workers in food processing and janitorial professions face several unique challenges that require tailored protection against cuts, slippery liquids and chemicals. To avoid injury, it is essential that workers wear gloves that provide a secure grip and tactility without inhibiting their performance or comfort.
A common challenge these workers face is wearing a glove too thick for the task at hand, or too thin to properly protect them. It’s imperative that safety managers understand the benefits of both disposable and reusable gloves – and when each is appropriate. An ambidextrous single use nitrile glove is necessary when process dictates more frequent disposal, which can help reduce cross contamination. A reusable glove is necessary when extended wear time is required or if a hand specific glove is desired for more comfort.
To meet varying worker needs, Ansell has both disposable and reusable offerings. The Microflex® 93-283 & 93-287 are disposable gloves made with Mega Texture grip surface on the palms and fingers for comfort and confidence when handling wet, oily, or fatty foods and objects. The AlphaTec® 37-310 is a lightweight, reusable glove engineered to allow optimum balance and flexibility while protecting against light acids, greases, oils and liquids.
Both the disposable and reusable glove options feature aggressive texture to best suit worker needs, so safety managers can have peace of mind they are selecting the right glove for the job.

Reuniting the Curds and Whey – Black Cow Vodka and Vintage Cheddar:
Did you know that you can make vodka from all kinds of things? I was fascinated to hear about Black Cow, the world’s first pure milk vodka, made in Dorset from the milk of grass grazed cows.
A premium vodka is something rather special – but the precedent for milk vodka comes from countries like Mongolia, where Arkhi (a kind of milk vodka with an alcohol level of around 15-20%) is made by every nomadic family with their own still using fermented cow milk yoghurt. This kind of vodka can be made using the milk from yaks and horses too.
Jason Barber though sticks to dairy cows milk from his farm in Dorset. He started adding value to his milk production by making cheese and was looking for something to do with the whey, a by-product of cheese production. He discovered that by fermenting the whey, he could create a kind of alcohol which could be distilled. Triple distillation results in the fine and pure vodka made from grass-fed Dorset cows. A unique product, especially when paired with the cheese he also produces.
The result is a light, vodka with floral and vanilla notes, creamy and sweet on the palate. Perfect for drinking neat on ice with a little cheese.
I was sent a gift pack to try for myself – it’s a great experience and perfect for this time of year when summer is just starting. And, I’ve got two more packs to give out to a couple of lucky London-Unattached readers. Worth £15 each, the winner will get this beautiful gift pack including 50ml of Black Cow Vodka and an 80g Black Cow Vintage Cheddar Truckle.
If like me, you are quite fascinated by the concept, you can now take a distillery tour and enjoy a vodka tasting, cocktail class and lunch in the new Black Cow bar and kitchen. It’s a very special experience, where you’ll enjoy a lunch menu of locally sourced ingredients created by Mark Hix in addition to learning all about Black Cow Vodka. All in the charming setting of Childhay Manor Farm, in West Dorset near Beaminster.
For more information, check the Black Cow website.
Meanwhile, if you’d like a chance of winning one of the gift packs, just follow the rafflecopter through.

Ok, ok. You caught us. We meant it when we said we liked the Blockchain technology. The Buzz Words That Suck - Blockchain post is about the hype. In this article, we'll break down what the technology is, and explore what's useful and good about Blockchain, what the current limitations are, and how it could be applied to web security in the future.
What is it: Blockchain is designed to be a record of all digital transactions of a particular type, similar to a digital ledger. The transaction types can be anything, from currency or cryptocurrency (as in the cases of Bitcoin and Ethereum) to healthcare data to digital assets (like Kodak's plan to help protect photographers' and artists' intellectual property via Blockchain). Any digital transaction that could occur between two entities would be a candidate for a Blockchain.
How does it work: In order for a new person or entity to start making transactions in Blockchain, that entity has to first validate every transaction in the chain that came before it against every other transaction record on that Blockchain held by all the other entities who have been conducting transactions. So let's pretend Jim and Sally have been conducting transactions back and forth on their JSToken Blockchain, and their transactions show that Jim has 100 JSTokens and Sally has 50 JSTokens. Bill comes along and wants to make a transaction with Jim whereby he will trade a service for 10 of Jim's JSTokens. Before the transaction between Bill and Jim can take place, Bill's "wallet" (the Blockchain record keeper for Bill) will have to go through all of Jim and Sally's transactions from the beginning of the Blockchain and verify that those transactions match what Jim shows and what Sally shows in each of their "wallets". Only then will Bill's Blockchain be considered valid and he and Jim can conduct and record their transaction. Once they have conducted their transaction, Sally's Blockchain will also be updated with the transaction and verify it against Bill and Jim's "wallets". That way everyone is in sync and no one could fake a transaction to steal one of the other's JSTokens.
It sounds complex, but the spirit of the technology is really very simple. Darrell Brogdon, CIO and Co-Founder of Raika Technologies, says, "When you break down the Blockchain technology, you are greatly simplifying your own ability to protect your assets. There's no longer a need for a bank to protect your $100; you can now do it yourself at much less cost, primarily through diligence in digital protection."
Why is it good: The biggest pros to Blockchain are that it decentralizes transactional record-keeping, and thus potentially greatly reduces the costs to maintaining an accurate record. If no one central authority (such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, US Bank, etc) is solely in charge of validating transactions, then there are more points of validation that ensure everyone's assets recorded in the chain are accurate and safe. Says Brogdon, "The nature of Blockchain is that it becomes much more difficult to steal my $100 because the majority of the wallets of record would have to agree with a transaction that moved my money to someone else. If it's a bunk transaction, that's far less likely to be validated in the chain." The definition of majority usually means 51%, but a platform could choose to go further than that in its own implementation. Additionally, once a transaction is validated and added to the ledger, it can never be edited or changed. So a nefarious person can't get the ledger, make changes and then try to propagate those changes in an effort to change history.
However: There are still potential issues that need to be addressed before you'll find us all putting everything we own at the mercy of the technology. For starters, because every transaction has to be validated against every other transaction in the chain prior to processing, every new transaction in the chain increases processing time exponentially. If we look at Bitcoin, we see that there is over 200 GB of data in the current Bitcoin ledger. That translates to about 10-15 minutes of processing time per transaction at the date of this article. That's a long time! Imagine if you stood in the checkout line at Target for 15 minutes waiting for them to get confirmation that you had the money you claim to have to be able to pay for the goods you need. Not to mention that the size of the space needed to hold all of that data in a single user's "wallet" is going to continue to grow and could become expensive. Sure, 200 GB isn't very much and is pretty cheap these days, but how big will it be next year? Or two years from now? How much would a ledger grow if it was conducting the number of transactions that a large company conducts every day, like Google, Amazon or Microsoft?
What are the solutions: There are definitely ways to address these issues. One potential solution to the processing time issue could be setting "validation entity" points with certified entities in the chain. If that were available, when Bill wanted to make his transaction he could ask Sally and Jim (if they were both validating entities) to give him their Blockchain transactions, compare the ledgers as a whole, and as long as they agree, then he could start with their transactions as they reported them and go forward in time in his own "wallet" as his own validating entity from that point forward. If you required a minimum number of validating entities and set criteria for accuracy on those validating entities, there's potential to dramatically reduce at least the initial processing time and possibly on-going processing times as well.
Anonymity is key: There's another argument that says one of the pros of Blockchain is that transactions are anonymous. The reality is that transactions might be anonymous. Bitcoin transactions were proven to not be as anonymous as everyone hoped, and although other platforms still claim anonymity, whether that will be a permanent feature and whether the anonymity is as complete as the claim remains to be seen.
Stealing is still possible: So in the Blockchain, how can someone steal my money? If you can hack into my physical computer and decrypt my private key, then you will have access to my "wallet" and can steal everything in it. This is a fairly low probability occurrence, not unlike the possibility that a mugger gets my wallet on the street. The difference with the mugger on the street is he probably won't get my entire net worth by stealing my wallet. Well, not now anyway. Maybe when I was in college...
Bottom line: We like the concept of Blockchain, and we love that so many companies are looking at how to innovate with it and use it to help consumers protect their digital assets in a time when more and more people are looking to web- and SaaS-based applications and services in the cloud to make their lives easier. If it can be safer to do so, all the better. We think the limitations are solvable, and we will definitely be keeping our eye on the technology solutions of major players and independents to see how it all shakes out.

Those links are affiliate links. There are here for you to see the products and prices. If you buy a product through these links, I get a small share of the price (without the product being more expensive for you). You don’t have to use those links. It is up to you 🙂
I do not make even close to a full-time wage with affiliate marketing (yet). But every little bit helps.
This is one tiny way I fund the production and maintenance of this blog. Every time you shop through one of my affiliate links, you help support me in continuing to provide you with helpful content and resources to make your life the most beautiful it can be!

We offer solutions for your products using different plastics or plastic-metal combinations - this means that when 2-component injection moulding, we are able to process two different plastics simultaneously within one tool. The advantage of this way of working is obvious - by using different materials, we are able to combine different material properties within one component. Our tools make it possible to realise hard/hard and soft/hard combinations. The options are endless and extend from injected seals to 2-component MID parts. We have everything covered, and are proud to be Austria’s largest 2-components injection moulding company.
In order to be able to provide quality, market-ready products, the first port of call is to operate with state-of-the-art injection moulding machines. As such, we use 26 injection moulding machines by brands such as Engel, Demag, Battenfeld and Fanuc. Twenty-one of these injection moulding machines (from 50 to 800 tonnes) are largely fully automated and feature handling equipment (injection weight 1g - 3000g). Six 2-component injection moulding machines (from 80 to 200 tonnes) can be used with rotary table, index plate and transfer processes. We also operate two 100-tonnes electric injection moulding machines. This enables us to offer a high degree of flexibility for both high-volume production and small batches.

How is Cryptosporidium data reported in the DCTS?
If no oocysts are detected in a sample, Cryptosporidium should be reported as zero oocysts. If oocysts are detected, the number of oocysts in the fluorescent antibody column on the Crypto report form should be reported. However, a laboratory should provide an easy to understand report form which clearly states the number of oocysts which were found in the sample and the volume of sample analyzed. The final result should be reported as oocysts found and the volume of the sample analyzed in liters. For the LT2 Data Collection and Tracking System oocysts are to be reported as total oocysts and volume analyzed.

July 29, 2010 - On Tuesday, the House voted 308-114 to authorize more funding for the war in Afghanistan. Many Democrats and a handful of Republicans expressed their displeasure with the war by voting against the measure. MAPLight.org examined contributions from the top ten companies based on the number of government contracts for intelligence work since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to "Top Secret America" an extensive study by the Washington Post. Over the last two years, Representatives voting for additional funding for the war received nearly twice as much from these companies as those voting against the measure.
|Yes Voters||Total Contributions||Number of Reps||Average|
Includes reported contributions to congressional campaigns of House members in office on day of vote, from interest groups invested in the vote according to MAPLight.org, June 4, 2008 – June 3, 2010. Contributions data source: OpenSecrets.org.

Succulents can originate in any part of the world: they are not all desert plants. What all succulents have in common is a capacity to store water to survive dry conditions. They store the water in their fibrous thick leaves, stem or roots. In summer, succulents will enjoy being in the living room, bedroom, bathroom or even outside. In winter they like to remain cool. Treated properly, these plants will be a joy for many months or even years.
- water this plant once a month
- Water in the saucer/decorative pot.
- Good light, but no bright sunlight.
- Ideal temperature Zomer: 18-25 °C
- Ideal temperature Winter: 10-15 °C

ANC mayors fails to account for missing R1 billion
15 August 2018
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in North West is satisfied with the decision of the Provincial Public Accounts Committee (PPAC) to formally summon the JB Marks Mayor, Kgotso Khumalo, the Speaker, Elias Mogeemang, as well as Acting Municipal Manager, Cyril Henry, to appear before the Committee again.
It was however disappointing to find that the abovementioned individuals failed to appear before PPAC in Mahikeng on 14 August 2018, by extension failing to account for the R1 billion spent in fruitless, wasteful, irregular and unauthorised expenditure.
The DA believes that the mayor is in contempt of the Legislature House Rule 215(1) and (2) stating that “(1) A breach of privilege is contempt of the Legislature and (2) Contempt of the Legislature is conduct which potentially or actually interferes improperly with the ability of the Legislature, its Committees or any of its Members to perform their functions”.
We will therefore write to the Speaker in the North West Provincial Legislature, Sussana Dantjie, requesting that Khumalo be held accountable for disregarding the Legislature and its committees. The mayor should answer for the wasteful incurrence of cost to the Legislature.
The 2016/2017 MPAC report was not tabled before council and the 2015/2016 annual report was also not discussed, despite the DA’s numerous attempts to do so. The fact that an exorbitant amount of R1 billion has accumulated from the 2013/2014 financial years to date, is simply inconceivable.
This utter disregard is a clear indication that there is no accountability or political will to act in accordance with the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA).
It is unacceptable that Khumalo chose party politics pertaining to the by-election in Moses Kotane, rather than fulfilling his responsibility towards our communities.
Khumalo allegedly seconded Councillor Kelvin Johnson as Acting Mayor to attend the meeting on his behalf, but the latter appeared without any appointment letter with delegated powers. Such an endorsement would not have made a difference in any event, as the current mayor was not admitted to hospital or out of the country. This is certainly not the case – the mayor is merely busy serving the ANC while he should be taking responsibility for the mess in JB Marks.
Acting Mayor Kelvin Johnson informed the Committee that he was unable to engage in the meeting as he does not have the information needed, clearly demonstrating a play for time on the municipal management’s part, as the speaker does not want to table the MPAC report.
The ANC is withholding the mismanagement of funds under a tight lid, causing the people of JB Marks to bear the brunt of poor service delivery.
The people of JB Marks have the right to a transparent, accountable government who will put the people first. The people have had enough of corruption and incompetency. It is time for change that only a DA-led government can bring.
Issued by Jacqueline Theologo, DA North West Spokesperson on Local Government, 15 August 2018

This 'A Quiet Place' Scene Is Even More Depressing Than You Realized, According To The Actor Behind "The Man In The Woods"
A film that made each step, breath and twitch sound like a potential deadly explosion, A Quiet Place has become nothing less than a phenomenon. The movie, set in a dystopian future where aliens attack humans who don't stay silent, is one of the top 10 grossing films of 2018 and has a 95 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. It's also one of the year's most meme-able flicks for the hushed hypnosis it creates in theaters, but one of A Quiet Place's most memorable moments is actually one of its loudest. When a character known as "Man in the Woods" releases a catatonic scream in one scene, it's a game-changer for John Krasinski and Noah Jupe's terrified characters. Yet while little is said in the movie itself about the screaming man in A Quiet Place, the story behind his scene is actually quite poignant.
"It was always about a man who’s staring at blackness, at a horror that he can’t contain and the only way he can react to it is to kill himself, so he has to force himself to scream," explains Leon Russom, the actor behind the holler, when we chat over the phone. "This man is in such a state that he can’t really deal with anybody else’s feelings. He’s just completely destroyed by guilt and grief... he can’t bear it anymore. He can’t bear the loss of his wife and the horror that’s going on around him."
Russom shares how he worked alongside A Quiet Place director and star John Krasinski to make the Man in the Woods' moment feel so powerful, even in such a brief scene. "[John] kept making sure that I made it about me, about what was happening to me, and that I do nothing at all in response to the two of them," explains Russom, referring to the characters played by Krasinski and 13-year-old Jupe. "This man is past concern for anyone other [than himself] — I mean he’s just so lost."
For Russom, getting into the mental state of someone who has lost all hope and sees suicide as his only option was difficult, but Krasinski was a major help. "He’s an actor, so he empathetically knows what you’re up to. And he knows what he needs when he gets into the editing room," says Russom. "So, between those two things, it was mostly about us sort of going, ‘OK, then. Let’s try it another away. Now, let’s try it another way.’"
On set, Russom adds, Krasinski would "put on his actor’s hat, then he’d put on his writer’s hat, then he could put on his director’s hat with such ease" that it was clear to the actor that "something really good was gonna come of" A Quiet Place (out now on Digital and available on Blu-ray and DVD July 10). Adds Russom, "I knew that I was working with a serious filmmaker who had thought it all out as much as you can think it out in advance and that gives you, as an actor, a great sort of cushion... you feel comfortable because you know you’re in the hands of somebody who knows what they’re doing."
Like many fans of A Quiet Place, Russom admires the movie's focus on humanity despite a terrifying backdrop, as well as the lack of any "false moments" in its storytelling. "There aren’t any unneeded moments," Russom explains. "[Krasinski] focused so strongly on the bonding of a family and how they have their own problems even with all of this going on, and it was just so human to me."
And getting a deep, complicated story behind the Man in the Woods' unforgettable scream just adds to that realness. "As one of my friends said who saw it, ‘It should be that you’re heartbroken for him but you’re also terrified. You should be both.’ And I hope that works. I got the feeling that it does," says Russom of his scene. Millions of scared viewers would agree that yes, it absolutely does.

PARIS – France's presidential candidates could hardly be more different: Pro-European progressive Emmanuel Macron is facing far-right, anti-immigration Marine Le Pen in their only direct debate Wednesday ahead of Sunday's runoff election. They differ on Europe, terrorism and in their personal styles.
Macron is passionately promoting common European ideals of peace, prosperity and freedom. With Britain leaving, he says the bloc needs to build a new leadership base anchored by France and Germany.
He wants the bloc to be able to deploy 5,000 European guards to the external borders of the Schengen passport-free travel zone, and proposes a European fund to finance and develop shared military equipment.
Le Pen wants to pull France out of the European Union. She advocates closing France's borders, adopting protectionist trade policies and dropping the shared euro currency to return to the French franc. She promised to restore France as a sovereign state in charge of its own borders and money supply, and to crack down on immigration.
She considers Macron "an immigrationist" because he has backed German Chancellor Angela Merkel's policy of welcoming refugees from Syria.
Le Pen asked a television program to remove the European flag from the stage during her speech. During Macron's rallies, by contrast, many supporters wave European flags alongside French flags.
FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM
In a country traumatized by a series of attacks by Islamic extremists, Le Pen and Macron both pledged to boost police and military and intelligence services.
Yet their views on international policies are starkly different.
Macron pledges to keep up French operations against extremists in Iraq and Syria and Africa's Sahel region; Le Pen wants France to be militarily independent and to leave NATO's military command to avoid being "drawn into others' wars."
Macron proposes to increase the French defense budget to at least 2 percent of GDP by 2025, up from 1.78 percent now — in line with NATO targets — and to keep the overall number of troops stable at 200,000.
Le Pen promises to reach 3 percent of GDP by 2022, adding 50,000 more soldiers, a second aircraft carrier and more jets, ships and armored vehicles.
Le Pen firmly backs the Syrian regime and distanced herself from U.S. President Donald Trump over recent U.S. airstrikes targeting President Bashar Assad's regime, and she is friendly with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Macron wants international pressure on Assad and to maintain sanctions against Russia over Ukraine.
Bold and gritty, Le Pen, 48, is an experienced party leader making her second bid for the French presidency. She has held elected office several times in northern France and has been a European lawmaker since 2004.
On stage, she favors a classic style, often wearing somber suits or playing on the blue-white-red colors of the French flag.
In her speeches she uses dramatic, cut-to-the-chase expressions and doesn't hesitate to harshly criticize her rivals.
Macron, 39, has never held elected office. He is a literature lover who likes to quote French authors in his lengthy speeches. He asks his supporters not to boo other politicians.
He's leading an American-style campaign in which he often appears publicly with his wife Brigitte, 24 years his senior. Le Pen's long-time companion, Louis Aliot, remains more discreet.
Even their music choices contrast: Macron's supporters were dancing to modern techno music during his election party in a Parisian exhibition center. Le Pen's militants were celebrating with 1980s standards in her town of Henin-Beaumont in northern France.

3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
Our Holy Father, since becoming Pope, recounts the story of his own vocation saying that, on September 21, 1953, a 16-year-old boy named Jorge Bergoglio was planning to go out to celebrate with friends an Argentinian national holiday called “Students’ Day.” Jorge decided to start the holiday by going to pray at his parish church, dedicated to St. Joseph. When he arrived at church, he saw a priest he didn’t recognize, but who seemed to radiate holiness. He decided to approach him, and asked him to hear his confession. We don’t know what Jorge said to the priest, or what the priest said in response. But we do know that, that confession totally changed not only the teenager’s plans for the day, but for the whole course of his life. In speaking to a group of ecclesial movements during the Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said:
For me, this was an experience of encounter: I found that someone was waiting for me. Yet, I do not know what happened. I can’t remember. I do not know why that particular priest was there, whom I did not know, or why I felt this desire to confess. But the truth is that someone was waiting for me. He had been waiting for me for some time. After making my confession, I felt something had changed. I was not the same. I had heard something like a voice or a call. I was convinced that I should become a priest.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus called Simon Peter, and his brother Andrew, as well as James and John, the sons of Zebedee, to follow Him. His invitation to them was a simple one: “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They left everything behind, and followed Jesus. No hesitation, no questions, no doubts—just a firm resolution to be a disciple of Jesus. For three years, they would accompany Jesus, hearing him preaching and teaching, healing and exorcising, and calling people to repentance. The disciples would have much to learn, but they were ready. They were ordinary men with no special training or skill, but yet, the Lord called them.
As we reflect on the call in today’s Gospel, we might well ask ourselves: what would I have done? What would I do? To leave everything behind is no easy task, but Jesus taught by example. With those he called, he would always provide for their needs. It’s a call to let go, and to be self-possessed. How often do the things of the world possess us, and bring us down.
Jorge Bergoglio encountered the Lord Jesus, and responded wholeheartedly to the call to the Priesthood. The Lord continues to call because the harvest is rich, but the laborers are few. How many people silence the call with theirown pursuits? We must open our hearts to the Lord by entering into silence, and like Samuel, say: “Speak Lord, your servant is listening.” What is the Lord calling us to? For all of us, first and foremost, He is calling us to a life of holiness. When we are rooted in God, we are more open and docile to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Some are called to the Priesthood, or Consecrated Life, others to marriage, still others to a single life … all different, yet they are all calls to holiness. We all have a part to play in establishing the Kingdom of God, and continuing the work of those who have gone before us. Like Pope Francis, we have the same means before us, especially the sacraments, to help us to grow in holiness so that, one day, we might enter eternal life.

Before we start off on our food storage adventure there is a true story I must tell. For many years, instead of making my own bread stuffing I love the flavor of a particular name brand stuffing mix, so you might understand when one day I was cooking up roast chicken dinner which of course included my favorite stuffing mix. On the box it said, “New and Improved”! When it was time to eat dinner my family and I all had a bite of the stuffing. Well…it was horrible. I was shocked that my favorite stuffing mix had changed so much that I called the 1-800 number on the box to complain. How could they change the recipe? I was furious. I told the person on the phone how upset I was. She had me read her the code number on the box. “Sir” she said, “That stuffing box is over three years old. We do not recommend you use our product past one year.”
I immediately knew what had happened! My wife had visited her mother and she had given her a box of dry goods from her house to take back to our house.
So as you giggle a bit about our stuffing story, remember whenever you store anything, FIFO: First In First Out. When you get home from that shopping trip take all your dry goods and use a black marker to write that day’s date on it so when you reach in that cabinet use your oldest date first – hopefully it’s not three years old!
When you contribute food to your local food drives remember to not give expired food. They throw away outdated donations by the dumpster load!
Keep your dry storage areas cool and dry and well vented. Moisture and heat are the biggest dangers to dry and canned goods. The temperature of the storage area should be between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If possible keep relative humidity at 50 – 60 percent.
Store food in their original packaging. Once open store the product in airtight containers that are clearly labeled. Never buy or use dented cans. You are taking a chance with your family’s health if a hole or crack lets air into the can. Bacteria will grow into a common illness called botulism.
Store dry goods at least six inches off the floor and out of direct sunlight. Remember FIFO: First In First Out. Check the expiration date on your dry goods. If you are past the date printed, throw it away NOT give it away.
Our next article will be on storage of refrigerated and frozen items.

The Hooksett Community Kitchen provides free meals to anyone wishing to attend every third Monday of the month from 5 pm to 7 pm.

In yesterday’s video post, God: The Real Secret, I shared a message that came to me while I was exploring the rugged coastline that provides the setting for the rustically beautiful Timber Cove Inn in Fort Ross, California. There is just something about the energy of this ocean front getaway that seems to enfold me in a higher vibrational zone. There’s something about watching the waves emerge from the deep blue pools of water and crash against the dark rocks that reminds me of the presence of a higher power. What a symbolic expression of the existence of eternal peace and almighty strength.
Our room’s ocean view awakened me to feel the presence of God, which manifested in a sense of joy, love and hope that the world was mine for the asking. After breakfast my boyfriend and I ventured through the property and hiked along the hillside perched high above the water. The scene was breathtaking. I was so moved by its beauty that all I could think about was the love of God. I sat there atop a rock on the cliff peering down and felt my connection to the universe. As I focused on it, I felt my direct connection with our creator. And in those moments I dared myself to believe that what was happening there was truly real. I dared myself to believe the messages I felt being whispered to my heart held truth. I sat there in my bliss and didn’t want to leave. I didn’t want to lose these hopeful truths to the practical needs of my human life. I didn’t want my connection to get washed away by my shower or left behind as we departed our room.
As I reflect upon this now, I see the vulnerabilities of my spiritual beliefs. I can trust easily what feels true in my heart when I feel totally connected to the source of life. Yet when I step away and invite my human insecurities into this bond, I seem to turn over my power. My heart often loses the war with my thinking, judging mind. I now see more clearly the work I need to do. I feel progress, though. I feel like I’ve just had a personal trainer show me the exercise I need to do to convert my flab into muscle. I know that it is just up to me to do the reps.
What about you? Do you see areas of weakness in your spiritual life that could benefit from some good workouts?
Thank you for visiting. I wish you an amazing journey.

Data Stories: Cloud Computing, Curious Correlations
A collection of interesting facts about cloud computing (and the accuracy of spreadsheets), plus a reminder that correlation does not mean causation.
- By James E. Powell
- March 8, 2016
Cloud Computing Factoids
This infographic illustrates some curious facts about the Web. Given the popularity of Excel as an analytics tool is Excel, a University of Hawaii study may give you pause about the accuracy of your results.
Some key numbers reported in the infographic from Host Analytics:
- 88% of spreadsheets have errors
- 28% of businesses cited security/privacy governance as an issue when considering cloud-based tech
- 32% expect cloud to have greatest impact in driving business transformation
- 72% say improved business agility is top driver of cloud adoption
Curious Correlations: Cheese and Bedsheets, Divorce and Margarine
A common statistics mistake is to assume that two trend lines that look the same (that is, are correlated) implies a cause-and-effect at work. As you’ll see from the interesting and amusing correlations from Tyler Vigen’s Spurious Correlations, nothing could be further from the truth. See how total arcade revenue is correlated to the number of computer science doctorates awarded in the U.S. and how drownings after falling out of a fishing boat are correlated to the marriage rate in Kentucky.

Parents in England, Wales and Scotland will be able to apply for a one-off school uniform discount from Sunday. You could get up to £150 towards the cost of your children’s new school uniform!
Here’s how to find out if you’re entitled to it.
Does My Council Offer It?
If you live in Scotland you don’t need to worry. The grant is compulsory for all local authorities who must pay at least £100 per child.
Unfortunately this is not the case in England. Many councils have been forced to scrap or reduce the scheme in recent years. Some areas only offer the grant in exceptional circumstances, such as special educational needs cases. But it’s definitely worth checking your local authority to see if they offer anything and if you qualify.
You can find out if your area offers anything by following this link and entering your postcode. You can also find out if you’re entitled to other types of support, for example travel relief, free school meals and help with childcare.
In Wales there is a Pupil Development Grant on offer instead. This is worth £125 or £200 if your child is in year 7.
Am I Eligible?
To claim the grant you must be receiving one of the following benefits:
- Income Support
- Job Seeker’s Allowance
- Child Tax Credit
- Employment Support Allowance (ESA)
- State Pension (This must be your sole source of income)
- Support under Part IV of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- Universal Credit
You can also apply if your total household annual income is less than £16,190.
You must be able to prove that you are legally responsible for the child you are applying for by sending a recent copy of your bank statement confirming the payment of child benefit to your account.
How Do I Apply?
This will vary between different local authorities. Follow the information and links from your local authority website for more information.
When Should I Apply?
It’s worth checking with your local authority as dates may vary across the country. However, most applications can be made from 30th June up until 30th September.
In Wales the closing date for the Pupil Development Plan is 31st December.
You will be expected to re-apply every academic year, with some councils only paying the grant once.
How Will I Be Paid?
You will be paid by cheque which must be paid into a bank or building society account in your name.

ANU astronomers create best map of the southern sky
Astronomers at ANU have created the most comprehensive map of the southern sky that can be viewed online by anyone around the world.
The map includes about 70,000 individual images, capturing nearly 300 million stars and galaxies.
Lead researcher Dr Christian Wolf from ANU said the map was created using SkyMapper, a 1.3-metre telescope at the ANU Siding Spring Observatory that is creating a full record of the southern sky for astronomers internationally.
"The map of the southern sky we've released to the world today is the best ever created, but this is only the beginning of a five-year program to capture it in all its splendour," said Dr Wolf from the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
"The final map will show stars and galaxies that are up to 50 times fainter than the limits of this map."
SkyMapper's camera has nearly 270 megapixels and the faintest objects visible in the final map will be over one million times fainter than those visible to the naked human eye on a dark night.
The map of the southern sky is available through an online portal at skymapper.anu.edu.au/sky-viewer/ . The search bar can help viewers find well known objects in the southern sky with astronomical coordinates or common names, such as Eta Carinae or NGC 253 (also known as the Sculptor Galaxy).
In 2014, ANU astronomers used early data taken with SkyMapper to discover the oldest known star in the Universe that formed shortly after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago.
Co-researcher Dr Christopher Onken said the SkyMapper provided a treasure map for astronomers to find many new interesting objects in the southern sky because of the range of colour bands available in images.
"SkyMapper's special filters probe light across a range of colours beyond what the human eye can see, reaching into the near-ultraviolet and the near-infrared," said Dr Onken from the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
"This abundant colour information is crucially important to search for astronomical 'needles in the haystack' among the vast number of stars in this map."
ANU developed the map with support from the Strasbourg Astronomical Data Centre (CDS) in France, the Australian Research Council, Australian Astronomy Limited and the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) at ANU.

So, I just recently realized the glory of Puffy paint, which is for fabric. It is easy to work with and not just for little kids making memory shirts. You can easily make gorgeous designs with just a bit of patience and time.
What you need!
- Black ink pen
- Black puffy paint
- Blue sparkly scribbles paint
- Wooden shish kebab skewers
Step one: Draw your template out on paper
For this project, I helped my grandmother add a bit of a personal touch to the collar of an old vest. So to start, she sketched out this figure of a Kokopeli on a piece of scrap paper and cut it out. Depending on the complexity of your art, you may wish to scan or copy your art so the original does not get harmed.
Step two: Putting your design on your fabric
Once you are satisfied with your design, you need to draw it onto your fabric. Pin your design onto your fabric carefully so as not to tear your paper. Trace around your paper and make little dots that puncture the paper and hit the cloth to mark any lines inside of your design that you can connect the dots to later. Make sure you have fully traced it out before removing the paper.
Step three: Filling in your design with fabric paint
After you have your outline down, you may proceed to start filling in color. Note that you should always put your color down before outlining, because the outline will cover up any mistakes. The Scribbles fabric paint has a very fine tip, so you should have no problem applying the paint to your fabric, however do be cautious to stay in the lines. For smaller details you can use the head of a pin or a shish kebab skewer to spread the paint out as evenly as possible. Remember you do not want the fabric paint to be too thick or it will take forever to dry.
Step four: Outlining your creation
The final step is to outline your whole design in black. This will, as I mentioned, cover up any mistakes as well as make it look more clean and precise. Be careful and steady, because if you mess up the outline, there is no turning back. You may wish to get a parent to help you outline, or apply the outline with a skewer or head of a pin. After your outline is done, you are ready to go! If you used the glittery paint I recommended, it will be much shinier after it dries.

Edith Pearlman’s Binocular Vision are the collected stories of an award-winning author who has been compared to Alice Munro, John Updike and even Chekhov
‘This book is a spectacular literary revelation… With Binocular Vision a new fictional planet, richly populated and suffused with warm lucidity, comes into view’
—Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times
‘Pearlman writes about the predicaments odd, wry, funny and painful of being human … [Her] view of the world is large and compassionate, delivered through small, beautifully precise moments. Her characters inhabit terrain that all of us recognize, one defined by anxieties and longing, love and grief, loss and exultation. These quiet, elegant stories add something significant to the literary landscape.’
— The New York Times
Tenderly, observantly, incisively, Edith Pearlman captures life on the page like few other writers. She is a master of the short story, and this is a spectacular collection.
Edith Pearlman, born in 1936, published her debut collection of stories in 1996, at age 60. In 2011, she won The National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for Binocular Vision. She has published over 250 works of short fiction in magazines, literary journals, anthologies and online publications. Her work has won three O. Henry Prizes, the Drue Heinz Prize for Literature, and a Mary McCarthy Prize, among others. In 2011, Pearlman was also the recipient of the PEN/Malamud Award, which puts her in the ranks of luminaries like John Updike and Joyce Carol Oates.
Her fans include T.C. Boyle, Ann Patchett and Chris Adrian

Mellivora was formed on the basic principle of inspiration, finding true adventure in life, and connecting others to the wonders of nature. They make nature photography-inspired women’s leggings in Colorado.
Mellivora is not only about connecting with nature and adventure, but also to people’s everyday activities – and leggings sure do seem to be a “staple” in most wardrobes nowadays!
Beginning in 2016, Chris Gerardi took on a new life-challenge by leaving the corporate world where he felt like he was “dying” on the inside, to climbing some of Colorado’s Fourteeners, taking many amazing photos along the way. Within just a short period of time, to his amazement, he realized how he started to feel “alive” again. He wanted to be able to somehow share these beautiful photos, and the way nature had inspired him with others in hopes that they will find the same inspiration to “stop dying, start living”.
One day while working a part-time job at Whole Foods, he saw a pair of computer-generated pattern leggings, and immediately envisioned his photos on them and then realized they could become wearable art! This idea was the instrument to get the stories behind each pair out to the world. Chris realized that if he could sell leggings with his photos on them, he would be able to tell the stories of each of the adventures that inspired them through his website.
Where does the name “mellivora” come from?
The name Mellivora is the term for the African honey badger in Latin, which is a very relentless and persistent animal. Chris was given the nickname “honey badger” (long before the company was even an idea) because of his fierce resilience and persistence. When beginning a start-up business manufacturing a brand of apparel in the United States, there is no choice but to be resilient and strong to be able to make it through all the challenges that come with it. And many of the challenges seem to be bigger than mountains.
In addition to using his photos of beautiful Colorado for the designs, each pair is made of 100% U.S. recycled materials, manufactured with a small-batch production team, and the best part is that they’re made entirely in Colorado! One of the things that Mellivora prides itself on is that they don’t want to just sell their leggings, they want to “sell” the inspiration and motivation for people to want to go explore the possibilities that life and the world have to offer!
Supporting Mellivora is not like supporting a large corporation that never “connects” with their consumers.
Truly made in Colorado
Mellivora is a Colorado-grown small business that started out with a small investment with the goal of showing others that manufacturing can be done locally, ethically, and sustainably. Local manufacturing means our product is made entirely in Colorado and is only touched by the people who are a part of our team.
We never import anything. We pay our team with exponentially higher wages than what companies overseas do. We don’t have huge profit margins on our products and we don’t just do this for money. We do this because we have a passion for it.
Their material also comes from a reliable and ethical source, REPREVE. REPREVE is a milled recycled material made only in the USA, which means they follow all EPA guidelines during the recycling process which is all milled into yarn in the United States. Every dollar you spend with Mellivora goes back into the local economy, so next time you’re looking to support your community or local economy, look into buying products that are Colorado made.
Mellivora is Colorado made from start to finish!

Tackling air pollution in Gloucestershire from vehicle emissions is set to be an important priority for Gloucestershire County Council after the report of the air pollution task group, chaired by Cllr. Jeremy Hilton (Lib Dem Kingsholm & Wotton), was yesterday approved by the Environment and Communities Scrutiny Committee.
According to Public Health England, poor air quality is the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK, and the Royal College of Physicians has estimated that poor air quality is responsible for 40,000 premature deaths in the UK annually.
Exposure to air pollution can affect health by contributing to the development of cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases, and can limit an individual’s quality of life.
After six months of research, the task group presented its findings to a committee for approval. Chaired by Cllr Jeremy Hilton, the task group highlighted a number of recommendations, including changes to planning policies, reduced traffic congestion and improved air quality monitoring.
Cllr. Jeremy Hilton said: “Public bodies in Gloucestershire need to do much more to reduce vehicle air pollution. We have a number of poor air quality hot spots in the county. Nitrogen Dioxides and particulate matter from vehicle emissions is a hazard to everyone’s health in the county. We have to take action to reduce these pollutants.
Following approval at the scrutiny committee the report will now be presented to cabinet on Wednesday 6 June.

I (David Kessel) had the pleasure of growing up in the recording studio along with my brother Dan. We worked with Hal Blaine on many,
many Phil Spector sessions, as 2nd generation Wrecking Crew musicians. My Dad, Barney Kessel and Stepmother, B.J. Baker (one of the top background vocalists and vocal contractors in LA) were friends of Hal. Hal once said to me at a session “The trick is, that if you make a mistake at the beginning of a take, you have to remember the mistake through the whole song.” I asked our Cave Hollywood wordsmith Harvey Kubernik to remember Hal Blaine.
By Harvey Kubernik Kubernik © 2019
I knew Hal Blaine for 50 years. I did a term paper on him during high school. He invited me to a 5th Dimension session, too.
Hal steered me to Pro Drum Shop on Vine Street. My life changed seeing the sparkle sets and equipment on the wall. I never knew there was a place for drummers and percussionists besides Wallichs Music City and Drum City.
For decades I called him Belsky, his real last name, and he would call me Harvala.
In the seventies I interviewed him numerous times for domestic and international publications. He once gave me a lift on his motorcycle between a 3 session day and also picked me up hitch-hiking once on Sunset Blvd. when he saw me at a bus stop on Fairfax Avenue when my car was in the shop. “Take me to Gold Star! I need to see this session.” After it wrapped, Hal’s parting comical advice was: “Harvala. Please don’t get married in California!” Then every Wrecking Crew session veteran started laughing their heads off. I didn’t quite comprehend the reality on display. Just about every cat started running down words I never heard like alimony and visitation… Continue reading
Oscar Peterson Plays and Talks in ’06
Oscar Peterson, the great Legend of Jazz Piano, played a rare concert live, in September 2006.
This had special importance for me as my father, Guitar Jazz Great, Barney Kessel, played with the Oscar Peterson Trio in the 50’s. Oscar and Barney also toured as band mates with the Jazz at the Philharmonic series, led by Norman Granz. Barney promised Norman that he would tour with Oscar, along with Ray Brown, for 1 year. After that Barney became head of A&R for Norman’s jazz record label, Verve Records.
When my brother Dan and I were kids in the 50’s, it was a typical occurrence for us to come home from school to find Oscar, Barney and Ray jamming in the living room.
When Oscar greeted me at the gig, he embraced me and said, “Barney’s my man, Barney’s my man!”
We were lucky enough to have a camera along to capture some of these magical moments with Oscar. It turned out that this would be one of his last public performances.
Phil Spector has been away from his Alhambra, California-home and the recording studio since spring of 2009, when a California jury convicted him of second-degree murder in the 2003 death of actress and comedian Lana Clarkson.
At the moment Spector is serving 19 years to life for the fatal shooting of Clarkson. Spector is actively preparing his appeal from Corcoran State Prison in Central California.
There is saying in the game of American football. “Everyday is like 4th and 1.”
The legacy of Phil Spector’s recordings and songwriting achievements as well as the ongoing impact and omnipresent influence of the Gold Star recording studio in Hollywood, Ca. where he executed his historic productions should never be forgotten, tarnished or even tainted by the results of this legal decision.
Spector’s catalogue is now controlled by EMI who administrates both his music publishing and masters tapes.
Summer and fall 2009 is expected to bring licensing deals for his potent sound copyrights and word has it, some unreleased work and reissues of his classic endeavors, specifically “A Christmas Gift For You.”
Gold Star was an atmosphere and schmuck-free sound laboratory that gave us the most-programmed record in history, Spector’s “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin'” by The Righteous Brothers, (arranged by Gene Page) and over 100 Billboard Top 40 hit records. Continue reading

At first glance, you might think the guy in the photo above is wearing his sunglasses backwards. However, he's actually getting hiz groove on with the AfterShokz Bluez, a pair of Bluetooth headphones that transmits audio using bone conduction. We've seen the technology before, but never on stereo wireless headsets. Instead of vibrating your eardrums, the Bluez use transducer pads that sit on your cheekbones to send audio directly to your ears. As such, the headphones have an "open-ear" design, presumably to let you hear your surroundings while listening to tunez. If this zoundzintriguing, you can pre-order them for $100 (despite their $129 retail price) from the company's website, or just wait until January when they will make their official debut at CES 2013.

One thing I’ve learned over my sketching journey is that not everyone likes cider, but most can agree that apples are rather nice. So I doodlewashed both and you can take your pick as to which you prefer. I personally like the cloudy non-alcoholic cider that is made locally, but I don’t actually care for the alcoholic variety or regular apple juice. These days, I really do just want the whole apple. But as a kid, I loved apple juice and, of course, the less boozy version of cider during the autumn season. I insisted that we get some of the cider that I enjoyed in my youth a couple of years ago while Philippe and I were at the grocery. When we got home, we each had a glass, thought it was okay, but nothing noteworthy, and then forgot about it entirely. The remainder fermented and we eventually had to just pour it out. But the appearance of those cider jugs at the grocery this time of year still makes me smile. A host of childhood memories come flooding back to me. Sometimes in life, the memory that something evokes is far better than the actual thing itself.
I remember apples in my school sack lunches, and the barbaric act of bobbing for them in a barrel as a kid, but that’s all of the memories apples bring back to me. Cider, on the other hand, conjures much grander memories. Most notable is that we would have some when we went to a place called Missouri Town, a 30-acre outdoor history museum with actual houses built between 1820-1860. Volunteers would dress in the costumes of the time and, during the autumn season, pass out cups of hot apple cider from a large kettle. It was like being transported to another time and so the cider was almost magical. They created it in precisely the same fashion as it was done at that time and with no preservatives or other modern inventions to get in the way, and it was blissfully perfect. I actually went back there with Philippe around this time of year and he was able to try a cup. It was just as wonderful as I remembered, but I couldn’t tell if he was impressed or not. He spent most of the time marveling at how “new” everything was, since he grew up in Paris and things from the 1800’s are simply considered a nice antique, but not actually something one would deem as significant history.
And so I was able to marvel at both my own memories of youth and the memories of my young country. A country that wasn’t even in existence at the time many of the buildings Philippe passed by as a child were erected. Perhaps my feelings of being a kid at heart come directly from living in a place that is still quite young as countries go. While other nations are wise great grandfathers, my own is really nothing more than a rambunctious teenager, still trying to figure it all out. Yet, it’s a strangely exciting country for that very reason. So much happens here, both good and bad, from that rebellious spirit that caused it to form in the first place. And though my heritage extends to Ireland and much farther back than that, my known family tree is mostly planted in the United States. A young history by world standards, to be sure, with log cabin settlements so small that hot cider in a kettle was a significant and wonderful thing to behold. Life was only grand because of the family and friends that gathered round to celebrate it. So, in the end, met with all of these memories of the past, I’m not sure I could ever possibly choose between apples or cider.

In this case study, you’ll learn how Bancard Systems turned their ATMs into fast, controlled cash access point with real time tracking for Paradise Amusements’ casinos using SeguraCash™.
Paradise Amusements, a private company based in Great Falls Montana, has 14 casinos located across the state. Paradise Amusements’ casinos, each with 20 gaming machines, needed a way to reduce the amount of cash in the tills exposed to shrinkage and theft but still easily provide cash payouts.
In addition to better cash-handling security, Paradise Amusements also wanted timely reports on cash accessed by staff and cash balances at their 14 casino locations.
They turned to Bancard Systems, a Montana-based independent sales organization for a solution to meet their needs.
Bancard knew there was an easy answer to Paradise Amusement’s challenge: SeguraCash.
With a simple low-cost set up, SeguraCash allows ATM terminals to operate as standard ATMs providing consumer-cash withdrawals and also to function as cash dispensers providing staff controlled-access to cash for payouts, or as single-purpose cash dispensers providing staff fast access to cash for payouts — much like a teller would use in a bank or credit union.
Paradise Amusements’ ATMs were set up in the dual mode to dispense $5s and $20s for customers, and for employees to make payouts, make change for large bills and to cash checks.
SeguraCash transactions do not use costly, traditional bank card networks. Instead they utilize a closed-loop processing system, using Triton custom software, via Columbus Data Services (CDS), a leading ATM processor. With CDS’ Web tools all customer cash withdrawals plus each employee’s cash dispenses can be monitored in real time for Paradise Amusements’ 14 ATMs from any Internet-enabled device: a PC, tablet or smart phone.
“Using SeguraCash in Paradise Amusement’s locations reduces the risks of cash theft and shrinkage while increasing overall security and accountability,” says Russell Pandina, president of Bancard.
Sam Bosch, president of Peregrin Financial Technologies, the supplier of SeguraCash, says SeguraCash can expand the use of existing ATMs or repurpose non-EMV ATMs for a second life as very functional cash dispensers.
“SeguraCash was developed for cash-intensive businesses like lottery locations, casinos, convenience stores and check-cashing, short-term loan businesses,” says Bosch.
Thanks to Bancard Systems and SeguraCash, Paradise Amusements now has a secure and reliable system for providing and monitoring all cash withdrawals and balances at its 14 casino locations without investing in costly time-lock systems.
“The value of SeguraCash is that it keeps the cash safely locked up in the ATM while still giving casino runners access to cash for payouts, cashing checks and making change for large bills,” says Pandina. “SeguraCash reduces the amount of money exposed to shrinkage and theft and makes all withdrawals traceable by employee.”

A report from Salon editorial fellow Aaron Kinney.
The television coverage of Hurricane Katrina provides a reminder of a fact you don't often see reflected on your television screens: There are poor people in America. In fact, as the Census Bureau reported Tuesday, the nation's poverty rate rose in 2004 for the fourth straight year. The number of Americans below the poverty line increased by 1.1 million to 37 million people, or 12.7 percent of the population. The number of Americans without healthcare rose only slightly to 45.8 million.
It's one more sign that George W. Bush's single-pronged economic strategy of providing tax cuts to the well-off -- if you can call an ideological fixation a strategy -- isn't yielding benefits for a lot of Americans. In his column in Monday's New York Times, Paul Krugman examined why, despite modest economic growth, most Americans don't feel sanguine about the state of the economy. Job growth is not accelerating fast enough to make up for the rise in the working age population; wages aren't keeping up with the cost of living.
So who, then, is benefiting from the economy's growth? According to Krugman, apart from rising healthcare costs, the growth is "going to corporate profits and ... to a surge in the salaries and other compensation of executives."
In other words, trickle-down economics isn't working. Rather than pump the blood of capital throughout the entire body of the American economy, the Bush economic plan keeps the blood circulating only in the head (or perhaps the right middle finger), creating windfalls for wealthy individuals that don't translate into gains for those in the bottom tiers of American society.
But the disparity between rich and poor isn't all Bush's fault. The compensation of American CEOs has been rising for decades now. (The median compensation in 2002 for the CEOs of the 100 biggest U.S. companies was $33.4 million.) And while top CEOs make enough nowadays to purchase an archipelago of small islands, critics question whether their performance comes remotely close to matching their salaries. Some executives, like former Enron CEO Ken Lay, seem to think they can make millions yet take no responsibility for what happens on their watch.
It amounts to a question of values, and whether the egalitarian values of American mythology square with today's reality. In his July 17 article, "How Costco Became the Anti-Wal-Mart," Times reporter Steven Greenhouse documented how Costco CEO Jim Sinegal raised his company to elite status while keeping his pay down (just $350,000) and treating his employees well. For this behavior, Greenhouse wrote, Sinegal has drawn criticism from Wall Street: "He has been too benevolent," said one analyst. "It's better to be an employee or a customer than a shareholder," griped another.
That's America, where Wall Street's values -- investors, some of them speculators who pick and drop stocks without loyalty, are to be valued above employees -- have become mainstream values. Average Joes boost the sales rank of Jack Welch's avuncular memoirs, perhaps deluding themselves into thinking the ruthless former General Electric CEO would have hesitated for a moment to fire them for a drop in performance. American families are working harder and longer hours to send their kids to school and pay for their healthcare.
Does any of this equate to a better life? As Krugman noted in a July 29 column titled "French Family Values," workers in France enjoy shorter workweeks than their American counterparts, take up to seven weeks per year in paid vacation and don't have to worry as much about medical costs because access to affordable healthcare is guaranteed. France's GDP growth can't match the United States' perhaps, but is an abstract figure like GDP the proper way to measure an individual's quality of life?
Bush didn't create the gap between rich and poor, but he's making it worse. Indeed, insofar as this widening chasm is the logical result of his policies, it's his intention. The rising tide of the economy hasn't lifted many boats, but it has raised the poverty rate. And even as the economy's pedestrian growth gains momentum, America's real estate bubble, exploding foreign debt and dependence on increasingly expensive foreign oil combine to form the threat of yet another recession. If Bush has a plan to help the poor, now is the time to deliver it.

- Market Hero
- And others
However, ClickFunnels additionally has their very own effective automation device called Actionetics.
Although you can produce, routine, and also deliver emails as with other e-mail marketing platform, Actionetics is so much a lot more.
I enjoy Actionetics because it not just changes your email marketing yet messenger marketing and also SMS advertising software applications as well. This takes automation to an entire new degree and also aids you communicate the ideal message to your clients, precisely when they require it. A video clip review of Actionetics will certainly be provided even more below.

ClickFunnels incorporates with significant repayment gateways such as PayPal, Red Stripe, as well as InfusionSoft, among others.
While you can begin with the Free 14-Day Test, there are 3 various prices alternatives with ClickFunnels:
- $ 97/month.
- $ 297/month.
- $ 997 bulk discount strategy (suggested).
I’ll explain for each of these plans below.
1. ClickFunnels Standard Strategy – $97/month.
The conventional strategy consists of every one of the attributes you would certainly require within ClickFunnels, but with restrictions on the variety of funnels (20) as well as web pages (100) you could have in your account, along with how many visitors (20K) can watch your pages monthly.
You also do not get innovative performance such as ClickFunnels own e-mail advertising as well as affiliate tracking devices.
2. ClickFunnels Etison Suite – $297/month.
This strategy consists of all the bells as well as whistles of the basic strategy, without any restrictions. It also features two extra items generated by ClickFunnels called Actionetics (e-mail advertising and marketing) and also Knapsack (affiliate administration system).
In Actionetics – you can manage every one of your contacts that subscribe to your checklist, send e-mail programs, and also produce a host of various other automations. AliExpress Login
The difference between both plans actually is the constraints, and also Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a basic customer and also do not anticipate to utilize greater than 20 funnels in your account – the Standard Plan should be sufficient.
Nonetheless, if you intend to have an affiliate program or want to keep your email advertising within ClickFunnels as well as not use a third party software program, the Etison Suite is for you.
You can always begin on the lower strategy and also upgrade if needed.
3. Funnel Hacks System – $997
For anybody that’s serious about their company, the ClickFunnels Funnel Hacks System is the bargain of the century.
The $997 Funnel Hacks System includes durable training programs bundled with 6-month access to the ClickFunnels Etison Collection.
This is an amazing bargain given that outside of this program, 6-months of Etison Suite alone would certainly cost you $1782.
Not only are you conserving $785 however you’re getting a lots of trainings and also overviews of help you obtain the most from ClickFunnels!

ClickFunnels vs. Everyone Else.
Many individuals ask how ClickFunnels as compares to other touchdown page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and Infusionsoft.
For the most part it’s not truly a reasonable comparison due to the fact that each of these devices stands out is one location or the other.
The graph above provides a detailed evaluation – however I’ll highlight some of the significant comparisons below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Before ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the large pet.
Leadpages is just a lead capture software – nothing even more. You could develop landing web pages, lead boxes, gather leads … that’s virtually it. Additionally, the Leadpages themes are likewise restricted on customization.
ClickFunnels is far more functional – it’s much easier to use as well as does so much more than produce lead capture pages.
Simply put, Leadpages is actually simply a touchdown page home builder, while ClickFunnels is concentrated around constructing very incorporated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a touchdown web page or sales page building contractor. It has some of that functionality developed it, but that’s not what it’s recognized for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that allows you to handle your whole customer data source. ClickFunnels has this capability with Actionetics, however it’s not virtually as advanced as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is also incredibly pricey as well as forces every new customer to pay $2000 for an obligatory kickstart training package just to discover the best ways to use the complicated system (which is infamously hard to make use of).
ClickFunnels Affiliate Program
There are two major paths individuals go down as ClickFunnels customers.
Those that decide to make use of the device for their service – in hopes of someday attain the Two Comma Club (over $1M in income).
And those that want making easy earnings as a ClickFunnels Affiliate as well as winning the Dream Cars and truck Competition (where they pay $500/$1000 in the direction of your dream cars and truck if you reach 100/200 energetic month-to-month signups, specifically).
With a whopping 40% month-to-month persisting commission, ClickFunnels conveniently has among the greatest affiliate programs of any type of platform available.
That’s right – you make money an ongoing 40% compensation on every affiliate signup you make with the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program. However, just what does that actually correspond to?
The basic plan is a $97/month financial investment and also the Etison Collection plan is a $297/month financial investment. therefore you make $38.80 each basic strategy and also $118.80 each Etison Collection plan … every single month!
Generally, every 100 signups will generate $4000/month in associate commissions (essentially depending on the number of Etison Strategy individuals are in there).
All-time Low Line
ClickFunnels is pass on the greatest system if you are planning to easily build high transforming sales funnels.
Due to the fact that it was developed from the ground up to be the best sales channel contractor, it defeats every one of the competition in that respect.
On the surface, it could not be the most affordable item around – but if you utilize it to its full capacity, your company will become more rewarding and you will certainly save loan from not needing to use various other tools. AliExpress Login
If you’ve reviewed this far into my ClickFunnels Evaluation, I suggest you see for yourself with a Free 14-Day Trial here.

OK So that is BS - their webpage is at fault for not applying discount and they are not doing anything. I too had the exact same issue - I dealth with Google Store support and they advised all the same info to try entering the code manually with same result. They said Spotify needs to give us a new code. To see your response from Spotify is unreasonable. They need to fix this.
I completly agree, this scheme of attracting new customers falls short for your most loyal ones: the family plan members. Not only is this an embarrsing shortcoming on Spotify's part its also an insult to your best paying members by telling them they are exlcluded from the benefits a single premium account holder would have. ridiculous.
The result will be that we will leave. Premeuim family plan members will flock to competitiors out of simple anger, myself among them.
Fix this Spotify , fix this NOW.
im already pricing out youTube misic or google options. what a joke.
i got the same message, what a joke. we cant just take this, UK and US family plan holders ended up getting the offer extended to them. we can do the same if we dont take this quietly. time to unleash a social media storm.
Hello, I have a premium spotify account at $ 9.99 per month and not family. I made the request for google home around 18h tonight. I still have not received mail and I will click on Premium and Start to have google : Thank you so much ! You have already expressed interest in this offer. Check availability I click and:then it says sorry, but you can not take advantage of... ? Can you help me please? I have my premium account and not family account . Thank !
I applied for the Google home mini promo in Canada, and after submitting for my free mini I realised the email address used was wrong and I no longer have acess to it. I can't seem to find a way to have the promo resent to my actual email.

Reducing Head-in-Pillow with Tin-Lead and Lead-Free Solder Paste DevelopmentPresenter: Jasbir Bath
Company: Christopher Associates, Inc. and Koki Solder
Date Published: 2/4/2010
In order to reduce this affect work was done on a set of tin-lead and lead-free solder pastes which were developed with flux formulations in the solder paste having higher heat resistance which did not lose their flux activation properties as quickly and quicker wetting which helped to reduce the head-in-pillow defect. The results of the evaluation are presented with test methods to analyze the head in pillow defect not only on BGA component test vehicles but also more fundamental studies to assess BGA/CSP solder ball interactions with the developed versus control solder pastes.
As well as reviewing some of the other causes of the Head-in-Pillow defect such as printed solder paste volume, component placement and reflow profile used, an assessment will be done on the industry standards which need to be updated or developed for component and board co-planarity in the as-received and reflowed conditions.

- Stress Management Techniques and Why I Rarely Get Stressed - June 30, 2017
Stress management is by far one of the biggest issues in our lives today. From nation, and world issues to work or even health.
Stress has become such an issue that it can lead to depression which according to the World Health Organization is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. To top it off so many people don’t know how to manage their stress levels properly and need help.
But not me.
For me personally it’s a rare thing for me to get stressed out these days. In fact I don’t even remember the last time I was stressed out about something. I’m not saying that to gloat.
It means that I’ve been able to manage my stress to the point I rarely – if at all- get stressed while I’m working or even in the environment that I’m in. So today I want to share a few of those things I learned.
Firstly: I Have A Profound Understanding Of Myself
True, as humans we change over time and we can change at will, but one thing about me is that I’m curious about myself. I want to understand myself more.
So I spend some time reading about various things that can help me. I pay attention to the words I use and what I say as well.
I believe this is incredibly important as many people are doing things they don’t want to be doing. People are working at jobs that they don’t like but they work because it pays the bills.
It’s not what they wanted, but it’s better than the other alternatives. People are reluctant to doing something that they legitimately want to do.
That in itself can be very stressful, especially in cases where what you want to do is considered “risky”. That can be quitting your job and finding another one, starting a business, and more.
I believe I’m less stressed out because I took the time to understand myself and what I want to do in life. Yes there are more lucrative alternatives right now, but I love doing what I’m doing right now.
Secondly: I Dedicate Time To Working Out
When you are conscious about your weight and health like I am, what’s important is you take action. Take some time out of your day each day and do some exercising and stretches.
Not only will working out help you on a health stand point, it’s also good on a mental stand point. You’ll be energized and in a more positive mood when you work out.
A lot of people say they don’t have time and I really don’t believe that. When you prioritize something, regardless of what it is, you’ll find time to do it. Even in cases where it’s a three minute stretch, it still feels good and it’s manageable.
Thirdly: I Stop Paying Attention About Every Little Thing In The World
It has been years where I’ve actually sat down and watched the news. Even though I keep up with the news through social media a little, I’m not stressing about issues in the world.
We have a variety of problems out there in the world and in countries. There will always be problems.
But the thing is, the human race will get through all of it. We will continue to persist and find a way to solve the problems that we face.
I’m not saying sit back and relax, no, take action and be a voice for what you believe is right. Be open to understanding other people and even the opposing side.
What I’m saying is take it in small dosses. Really focus on the things that you want to know and are passionate for.
There is no point in worrying or stressing over something that you only know one side of the story. Same goes for stories you’re not even remotely interested or capable of doing anything.
Continue To Grow
My point in all of this is that stress is all in your head. Stress can come from a variety of places, but I believe most stems from a deep underlying of lack of satisfaction or powerlessness in life.
We validate it by being concerned about our health, our work, or what’s happening in the world, not even realizing that the stress is coming from something we can actually control in our lives.
Try out these tactics and let me know how it goes! Leave a comment below about it!
To your growth!

It is estimated that 5-8% of school-aged children and 4% of adults in the United States suffer from some form of attention deficit disorder and that the incidence of the disorder is increasing in the population. Although it is the most widely studied behavior disorder of childhood, its etiology remains unclear, its outcome is variable, and its treatment is complex and moderately successful. Advances in neuroscience have provided new insights into the pathophysiology of ADHD, pointing to key neural circuits involved in attention, behavioral control, learning, and reward maintenance that appear to be underperforming in patients with the disorder. Moreover, the etiology of this heterogeneous disorder points to the key role of genetic and environmental interactions during prenatal and perinatal periods. Over the past decade, new diagnostic and interventional approaches have enabled clinicians to better diagnose and treat ADHD across the lifespan, while longitudinal studies have elucidated the long-term impact of the disorder on health and adaptive functioning.
This course is intended for students with a background in psychology and/or neuroscience who are interested in learning more about the complexities of ADHD from both scientific and clinical perspectives. Scientific topics covered include prevalence and epidemiology, diagnostic criteria, clinical presentation at different ages, impact on development (intellect, academic, speech and language, emotional self control, motivation and executive functioning), health outcomes (risk taking, accidents, injuries, driving difficulties, unintended pregnancy), co-existing conditions (anxiety, mood, substance use disorders), and etiology (genetic, pre/perinatal, neurodevelopmental, neuroanatomic, neuropsychological). Clinical topics covered include approaches to assessment, medication treatments (stimulant and non-stimulant), and non-medical interventions.

Cleaning is something we need to do to keep our house presentable, the process maintains hygiene and prevents disease. There are a wide variety of cleaning products – all of which are targeted for specific areas of the home; for example; the bathroom – there will be toilet cleaner, shower cleaner, The kitchen will require cooker cleaner, kitchen cleaner, floor cleaner and a fridge cleaner, many products contain the same ingredients and do the same job!
Employing a Cleaner
Occasionally house holders, usually ones with a busy lifestyle – employ a “cleaner” to help them with basic and boring household chores. There are many specialist home cleaning companies, cleaning companies vet and employ trustworthy individuals to clean people’s homes. When looking at cleaning companies it is essential that you check the company’s credentials, look for reviews and complaints online.
Choosing a Cleaning Company
When researching companies, it is important to ensure that the company is fully insured and has public liability on their insurance policies. Companies usually charge more than someone from the local paper will but there are benefits to paying more, as long as the company is properly insured you will be covered in the event of damage or loss. Make sure all members of their staff have been checked and have an up to date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check. Many domestic help companies offer a variety of different services – ironing, household cleaning, carpet cleaning, one off cleans, garden cleaning and much more.
A cleaner or representative will come to your property to find out what type of cleaning you require, frequency of cleaning and discuss a time when they can attend your property. The cleaner will then provide you with the information about the company and advise you of the costs involved. Some individuals book a cleaner for a couple of hours a week, whilst some book fortnightly cleans. When a contract has been drawn up by the representative, you will have the details of the company, the cleaner who will attend your property, how often they will attend and the hours set. Make sure you get a few quotes and speak to a few different companies before you decide which one you want to go with.
Getting a contract will cover you in the event of damage and make sure you can rely on your property being cleaned properly.
Why you should consider Hiring a Cleaner
How much is your time worth? – Could you be doing something more productive than cleaning? If you have a part time business or work from home you may find hiring a cleaner more cost effective, you can then make money whilst your house is being cleaned. You may find a professional cleaner can clean your house faster than you can which means you make even more money.
Spend time with family – Hiring a professional cleaner can mean you have more time to spend with family and friends, cleaning and looking after children at the same time can be a real pain.
End of Tenancy Cleans
Many people seek cleaning help when they are moving – hiring a cleaner can ensure ensure the property they are leaving or moving into has had a thorough clean. Many cleaning companies offer this type of service for a flat fee. If you have been renting a property you may want to look into an end of tenancy clean so you can recover as much deposit as possible.

GOP Volunteers Kicked Out of an Uber in North Carolina
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA – July 16, 2018
Six Republican campaign volunteers say they were kicked out of an Uber on Saturday as their driver told them “welcome to the resistance.”
The six volunteers were told to leave the vehicle at a gas station because the driver “had the right to deny us service”. The passengers were already halfway to their destination in Raleigh, North Carolina. The driver then said “Welcome to the resistance”, rolled up the window and drove off.
“It was clear based on our mild conservative political talk that the driver realized we were Republicans,” Russell, the passenger who ordered the Uber, told The DCNF. After the incident, she received a message from Uber saying that she was inappropriate towards her driver.
The company does have Community Guidelines posted publicly on their website; some of which include prioritizing safety, acknowledging fellow riders' and drivers' privacy and personal space, and respecting one another.
"Treat your fellow riders and drivers as you would like to be treated yourself: with respect," the page reads. "Most important of all, remember that when you use Uber you will meet people who may look different or think differently from you. Please respect those differences. We want everyone to feel welcome when they use Uber."
The company's discrimination policy is also published on the page:
Uber has a zero tolerance policy towards discrimination of any kind. This means you will lose access to your account if you are found to have discriminated against drivers or other riders based on their race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, marital status, gender identity, age or any other characteristic protected under applicable law.
All six riders assure that they did not use ‘inappropriate and abusive language or gestures’ that would result in the early termination of a ride. This is politically motivated action which is clearly discriminatory and therefor should be protected under Uber's policies.
Unfortunately, while the company says it does not tolerate discrimination of "any kind," political affiliation is missing from its list of protected characteristics. The system would hold the driver responsible for violating the rights of sexual minorities, national or religious groups, etc., but will remain indifferent to discrimination on a political basis. Recently, Uber removed a New York driver's access to its app on Monday after he kicked out a lesbian couple for kissing in his car. Late Tuesday the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission suspended the driver's taxi license, pending an investigation. Will this case be met with such a harsh response? I highly doubt it. Uber is applying a double standard, companies are now able to discriminate against conservatives regardless of alleged freedom of religion and freedom of speech, and whats worse, most don't seem to see this as a problem in the first place.
Russell said the group then requested another ride, and experienced no problems with the second driver.
The incident is part of a trend of harassment and denials of service to Republicans. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant by its manager, and a Whataburger patron assaulted a 16-year-old for wearing a MAGA hat.
It's an absolute shame that the political climate in America has become so toxic that incidents like this are all too common.

The Minster Centre is delighted to announce that it has launched a new post qualification training programme that is designed to meet the developing needs of counselling and psychotherapy professionals.
The MA in Professional Practice, Counselling and Psychotherapy, has been validated by Middlesex University and aims to meet the requirements in the field for advanced practitioners with particular professional specialisms.
Qualified therapeutic practitioners are able to select one of three professional strands depending on their particular needs and interest. Each strand has a professional practice component. The strands are:
- Supervision (this strand began delivery in January 2015)
- Managing a Clinical Service (this strand began delivery January 2016)
- Advanced Integrative Practice (this strand began delivery January 2016)
The programme is designed to be flexible and students are able to register for either the postgraduate diploma option or the two year MA. The latter will involve carrying out a small scale research project on a topic relevant to the chosen strand.
The Minster Centre is confident that this programme represents an innovative contribution to post-qualification training in the field of counselling and psychotherapy. It offers an opportunity for counsellors and psychotherapists to develop professional specialisms at Masters level. Students who successfully complete the Minster Centre postgraduate qualification in professional practice, counselling and psychotherapy will be well-placed to meet the increasing demands of the occupational field. Furthermore, it is hoped that the research produced by students on this programme will begin to shape some of the thinking about professional practice in the wider field.

We had to stay in Del Rio for 4 days. I had it narrowed to three places - I am so happy I chose this one. It was perfect for us - clean, close to town, and very comfy!
We loved the roomy space! We would totally stay again when we come back to Del Rio.
We suggest the owner change the bed frame in the first room. It makes WAY too much noise. It was extremely annoying anytime you got off or on the bed it would make A LOT of noise. The house was over all really clean and nice.
Great amentities and comfortable beds
Great renter! Glad to have you all back anytime!

Low force exertion thanks to thin saw blade
A Japanese saw is a collapsible handsaw and the counterpart of the precision saws that are common in Europe. The key difference is that Japanese saws only cut on the pull stroke. The especially thin saw blade is a great advantage, along with the associated fine cut, which is achieved with low force exertion. Thanks to the extremely sharp trapezoidal toothing, the cut timber no longer requires finishing. This saves time and offers attractive results.
- Fine cuts
- Low force exertion
- Little material wear
- Saves time
- Easy to handle
- Flexible saw blade
- The cutting surfaces are very sharp.
- Practise handling before first use to avoid injuries.
Application areas: carpentry crafts, tree care, pruning of trees etc.

You must be aware that cardio is an important component of your workout routine if your goal is to lose weight or stay ripped, but to get a good cardio workout at home can be challenging & expensive. A treadmill or a stationary bike can set you off an easy $300 to $400.
Unfortunately, cardio is extremely, no let me rephrase it, it is “EXCESSIVELY” boring. Yet is HAS to be done.
In the last 20 years, many alternative approaches to cardio came into our lives.
Get the Best Cardio Workouts at Home with these options
1. HIIT – High Intensity Interval Training
This was a wonderful replacement to the slow boring cardio routine. Unlike the boring 60 to 90 minute run on the treadmill or stationary bike, HIIT makes you beg for a few more seconds to catch your breath.
1 minute of rest feels like 10 seconds.
You would run fast for 30 seconds, take a break for 30 seconds. The rest and workout timing could be change to your requirement, the recommended range being 8 seconds of intense work with 12 seconds of low intensity work. Repeat until 20 minutes are over.
This would wipe you out. You do not need expensive equipment to perform HIIT cardio workout at home. All you need is a mirror, a jump rope or nothing, even your bodyweight will do.
A mirror? What cardio can you perform with a mirror?
SHADOW BOXING – Pretend to box against an opponent, your mirror. Punch & jab at the mirror (Don’t really hit it) for 20 minutes using HIIT protocol. You will wonder why you wasted life on a treadmill or a stationary bike.
Same goes with jump rope. The high intense portion will be where you skip as fast as you can and during the low intense pace, you skip at a slow relaxed pace.
HIIT still has its place in most fitness circles, but there are many more new variations to cardio that have come into play.
2. Tabata Protocol
“Tabata” comes from Dr. Izumi Tabata, a former researcher at Japan’s National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Kanoya. Tabata developed an extreme form of HIIT, which on its own is an extreme beast of its own.
Dr. Tabata was able to prove that 4 minutes is all you need to get an intense cardio session.
This was a ground breaking discovery. Cardio just went short all the way from 60 minutes down to 20 minutes, and Dr. Tabata brought it to a shocking 4 minutes!
Importantly, what you have to understand is that 4 minutes of Tabata has to be done in a maximal and intense fashion.
It follows a 20 second workout, with 10 second break protocol for 8 rounds.
These 20 seconds should be the hardest you have ever performed of a chosen exercise.
I would recommend to select one or two from the below list of exercises to perform in a Tabata fashion:
- Squat Jumps
- Running in Place
- Squat Thrusts
- T Pushups
- Box Jumps
- Lunge Jumps
I hope you get the picture on what type of exercises I suggest you use in a Tabata workout. These workouts can be done very easily at home. A small space the size of an elevator should be enough to complete these alternative cardio workouts.
3. MRT – Metabolic Resistance Training
This is the latest trend that has caught on into most fitness circles. It comprises of multiple exercises in a fast paced structure that is limited by reps or time.
As an example, you could do all of the exercises listed above for 20 to 30 seconds with 10-15 seconds break. Repeat the circuit 2 more times.
You just got a metabolic circuit workout done. It looks simple on paper but in the real implementation.
It doesn’t matter which approach you take to lose weight. Slow boring cardio has worked for thousands, maybe millions of people before HIIT was introduced. Same justification goes for any of the protocols mentioned above. They all work and they all have proven successful. It doesn’t matter if you get your cardio workout done at home, the gym, the grounds or wherever.
It only proves successful if you make a plan and stick with it long enough to experience the results.
I personally mix up with HIIT, Tabatas and MRT circuits to get my cardio workout at home. It’s been more than 10 years since I stepped into a gym and I’ve never been more stronger and leaner.
Cheers and stay tuned for my next post!
#UPDATE – I just found an epic video on how cardio should and should NOT be done! Totally agree with this guy.

Enemies of the People? Life in Communist Yugoslavia
A Child Who Learned to Be a Survivor
An Unusual Childhood in Serbia in the 1940s
Most of us who grew up during a time of peace have led sheltered lives compared to that of my husband, Kosta, who was born in Serbia in 1939. He lived through the German invasion of Belgrade, which occurred when he was about two and a half years old. The Germans arrested his father to use as a hostage in case of an uprising, and only the hand of God (I believe) brought him safely home. After the Germans left, the Russians came, and Russian officers occupied Kosta's home. He basically had to stay out of the way and was confined to his room, except for meals eaten in the kitchen with his parents, for about two weeks until the soldiers left.
After the Russian officers left, Tito's Communist partisans took over everything, including assigning who would live where. They also determined who would get coal and who wouldn't, to heat their homes in the cold winter. Kosta had a younger brother and an invalid older sister, Rose, who was half blind as a result of having had meningitis.
After the Communist takeover, Kosta's parents, Paula and Dragoslav (called Charlie in Canada and the United States later on) had a lot of visits from friends and people from the university who had joined the Communist Party. The visitors tried to recruit Kosta's parents, who did not want to join. When asked why they were unwilling, they at first gave excuses such as, "We're not smart enough," or "We aren't political."
The friends tried to bribe them with the possibility of serving the Communist regime as ambassadors to other nations, which would allow them to leave the country, but Paula and Dragoslav refused because they did not want to serve the Communist government. When asked again why, they were honest enough to give their real reasons, that they did not like how the Communists operated, using Gestapo-like tactics. Three weeks later they were herded on foot, including the children, to the killing fields, which were close enough for them to walk to. Kosta did not understand at the time what he was seeing -- only that his neighbors who had visited their home and given him cookies when he visited them, were lying on the ground in rows by ditches. He thought maybe they were sleeping.
We will say more about that separately, but for now you need to know it happened. Again, through what I believe was divine intervention, they were released after proving what they were accused of, having worked for the Germans and having German flour in their house, wasn't true. They invited the soldiers to search their house, and they couldn't find any evidence. Most of their neighbors weren't as fortunate. Kosta and his mother never knew the real reason they were arrested or why so many of the neighbors were killed. It was only when his mother had only weeks left to live that the two of them discussed this incident and it was only then, when Kosta was in his sixties, that he understood what he had seen that day.
Do You Believe in Private Property Rights?
After the Communists took over Yugoslavia, the government determined who would live where. How do you feel about this?.
No Enemy of the People
When Kosta was a baby, his family lived very close to the war department building in downtown Belgrade. In early 1945 Dravoslav moved the family to what he thought would be a safer place, a wealthier part of town, about twelve miles from the downtown area. Americans were dropping a lot of bombs on Belgrade, and this new home was farther from the targets. One of the families in this new neighborhood was the Vladimir Dedijer family, and Kosta played with their daughter. Vladimir Dedijer was a historian and a Communist who wrote much about the war and about Tito.
When Kosta's family was released from the killing fields, they were kicked out of their house and assigned to an apartment in downtown Belgrade until close to the end of 1947. The family of Vladimir Dedijer moved into their house. By this time, Kosta's little brother had died of pneumonia. When he was sick during the winter, Paula could not get coal to heat the house because they weren't Communists. Kosta's sister Rose died in 1948.
This is the background to the story I have asked Kosta to tell on the video titled "No Enemy of the People." To me, this story is one more evidence of the hand of God intervening in the life of Kosta's family.
As Kosta mentions in the video, his dad owned a construction company that provided jobs for many people, but also got him labeled as a capitalist, which was not good for him politically, and, in fact, was the basis for his arrest. The first picture is one of his projects. He is in the bottom right corner of that picture. His crew is pausing from their work for the picture. The other two pictures are labeled and need no further explanation.
Topciderski Park in Belgrade
This park was a very special place to Kosta. He liked to play there as a child. It has some very large, beautiful, and famous trees. In the park is the Milošev konak, which was once the residence of the Prince of Serbia, Miloš Obrenovic. In it is a museum of The First Serbian Uprising.
After the arrest Kosta talks about in "No Enemy of the People," Kosta's family made an unsuccessful attempt to escape from Yugoslavia, but they were caught, and all of them, including Kosta, were taken to prison. That is a story I will tell elsewhere.
After all of them were finally released, which took almost two years, they decided that after all that trauma they needed to do something special as a family. They decided to go to Topciderski Park, where Kosta could play, while Dragoslav and Paula quietly made plans for another escape attempt. Dragoslav sat next to Kosta on one of the benches and explained they would be leaving. As Kosta tells the story in the second video, below, he asked his dad, who was an architect and artist as well as contractor, to draw him a picture of the konak, so he would always remember what it looked like. That picture is reproduced for you here, photographed from the original, which Paula preserved and they later had framed after they successfully escaped. I have also presented some more recent pictures for comparison.
Planning Second Escape at Topcider Park
Topcider Park in Belgrade
Saying Goodbye to Topcider Park in 1950
The Story Behind the Drawing
Kosta tells the story behind the drawing on another hub: A World War II Yugoslav Childhood between 1939 and 1950. In this article, Kosta tells the very exciting story of how his family made their actual escape. The last video in that article is not to be missed.
More Recent Pictures of Milošev konak
After escaping from Communist Yugoslavia in about 1950, Kosta's family immigrated to Canada and became Canadian citizens. In 1959 they were able to enter the United States legally and Kosta became a student at UCLA, where I met him. We were married in 1964. Shortly after that, I was proud to sit with Kosta and his family in a courthouse in downtown Los Angeles as they all became United States citizens.

It is a certainty that your small business will face problems at some stage. Planning is essential to help you overcome these problems whenever they occur.
Without a plan to give it direction, a start-up business is unlikely to survive very long. You need to be well prepared to cope with problems such as a lack of cash or changes to your market. Although planning often does not prevent these events from occurring, it will provide a plan of action that keeps your business on course.
The SWOT Analysis is a useful planning tool available to small businesses. It encourages you to look at your strengths and weaknesses on an objective basis. You might also be able to identify opportunities or threats that could have an impact on your business in the future.

Book update: I finished “Real Education” by Charles Murray yesterday. He has 4 “simple truths” that he discusses: ability varies, half of children are below average, too many people go to college and our future depends on our brightest. Now, some of these may sound harsh, but you really need to read the full description to get the complete story. He goes on to provide a series of frightening statistics: study after study has shown the billions of dollars thrown at trying to increase math and reading scores has failed. For 30 years. The only real solution that any of us can do? Homeschooling. I’m surprised since most writers that I have read recently think that stay at home moms are completely nuts and are ruining their children’s lives. (referring to: “Learned Optimism” by Seligman, “Teach Your Children Well” by Levine, and “Mean Moms Rule” by Shipani)
On to the Recipe:
I love Mexican food – the smell, the flavors and the colors. I try to avoid frying because of the fat and because it makes such a bloody mess of the kitchen. Instead, these chicken taquitos were baked in the oven and served hot. They earned a thumbs up from all four of us.
A word of caution in regards to corn tortillas. They can be a pain to work with because the bend and break so easily. I found that the best enchiladas, taquitos, etc. are made when the corn tortillas are heated in groups of 3 in a microwave oven for 20-30 seconds or so between damp paper towels. The moisture helps soften the tortilla and keep it from cracking. When I nuked more than 4 tortillas at a time – especially not fresh ones – they would crack. If you are trying to watch your ingredients, you may need to make them yourself and or go to Trader Joe’s. I noticed the brands at Target and such had preservatives in them.
Baked Chicken Taquitos
yield 6 servings
1 Tb. olive oil
1 chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 cups chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or Mexican blend, or Monterey Jack, or queso fresco
12 corn tortillas
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. (A few minutes). Add the onion and cook until soft – about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika and salt. Give that a stir for 30 seconds.
3. Take the skillet off the heat and add chicken and cilantro. Stir together.
4. Warm up your corn tortillas in the microwave (3 at a time in between damp paper towels for 30 seconds). Put about 2-3 Tb. of the chicken mixture into each tortilla. Add about a tablespoon of the shredded cheese on top. Roll and place in the 9×13 pan seam side down.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve with salsa, sour cream, guac, etc.
