Right, it’s a couple of days or so since my last post, in which I took stock after going through The Social Loop training and decided upon a relaunch of sorts or a new direction for my relatively new blog.
The Social Loop
is was (N.B. all-new updated training after September 2017 ‘relaunch’) special training available to members of iPro (now “InternetProfits”). If you want to find out more about InternetProfits, and I highly recommend you do, just click on the link below:
Even though I may have few visitors or traffic to my blog or social media sites yet, I’m following the advice of The Social Loop training to just keep posting genuine, authentic content consistently, in order to be of benefit to any who actually find my blog amongst the clamour of content on this subject. Then sharing this content on multiple active and growing social media accounts; Facebook Pages, Twitter and Google+.
I’m a real person on a real journey and am using this blog as a journal, to share the lessons I’m learning along the way, and to share useful digital marketing insights from my mentor and other successful online marketers that I think will be of significant benefit to you.
How to Build a Website or Blog
So, what have I been up to? Well I was thinking about all the services and tools I use in the course of my internet marketing business and I was surprised at just how many there were. The list just kept growing and growing!
It made me realise that this could be a really valuable resource for anyone else who is just starting out with their internet marketing business. So I’ve created a new section on my website on “Building Websites & Blogs” and have added a couple of posts covering the basics of domains and hosting, and setting up WordPress.
I plan to be adding more to this section soon, so please come back and check it out and maybe you’ll find something useful for your business.

Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon
I went to a prestigious military academy for high school. I was on the Honor Guard (silent exhibition drill platoon) and the Regimental Drill Team. I was one of the members that performed the mirror rifle inspection at our performances, both at the school and when we traveled. We aspired to the quality of the USMC Silent Drill Platoon, but we always knew that was next to impossible as our practice time was limited to about 1.5 hours a day, after classes, formations, parades, sports, etc. I'll admit, we blatantly stole some of their coolest parts (hell, they're ALL cool), but man...when I watch these vids, I realize how we didn't even compare. These guys are unbelievable, and it makes my heart race and ache at the same time to watch them. It's an ache that characterizes my respect for the American military, and all they do for us. Thanks for your service, guys.

First let me say, I am all for artists getting paid for their creative endeavors. I don't want to see anyone get cut out of what they have earned. But this recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Deborah A. Batts strikes me as a continuation of the wrong thinking record companies have been exhibiting ever since the tape recorder was invented.
The cat is out of the bag. The genie is out of the bottle. The milk is spilt. The train has left the station. Elvis has left the building. Digital music and all that entails is a reality. The record companies are no longer running the show and if they don't come to their senses soon and change their response to the digital revolution, they will be completely removed from the equation. I don't need Atlantic Recording Corp., BMG Music, or Capitol Records Inc., to get good music into my various listening devices anymore. In fact, I would very much like them to join the ranks of obsolete industries as soon as possible, because all they are doing now is delaying the inevitable at my expense.
With that little rant over, the contention that XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. is breaking the rules by offering its customers the opportunity to record broadcasts may have contractual legal merit, but as a consumer, I want --- no, I demand --- the right and means to record whatever I hear on the radio. This is especially true for subscription radio where the consumer has paid for the privilege.
I want to live by the pay once rule. I am willing to pay a nominal fee for a song or piece of content, either by the item or in a subscription, once. But after that payment is made and accepted, that content is mine --- it is bought and paid for. I can use it anywhere I want on any device I want as long as it is for my own personal use. No more hassles, no hoops, no DRM, no activations, etc.
Maybe that is naive, but that is what I want.

Baby Must-Have: Lalabu Soothe Shirt
Let's talk about baby carriers.
There are SO many to choose from..
I discovered that so many baby carriers just looked....well, complicated. Knots, adjustments, buckles, ties....
I didn't want to take extra time just to put it on, have a second person there to help me, or have to watch a YouTube tutorial to remember how to properly use it.
Introducing....The Lalabu Soothe Shirt
It is not necessarily a baby carrier, but it is better...
It is a babywearing shirt that is a nursing tank (with a built-in nursing bra) for mom while being a carrying pouch for your baby.
There is no wrapping, buckling, or tying. All you have to do is put on the shirt and slip baby inside... kangaroo-style. (It is recommended you keep one hand on baby at all times.)
The pouch is designed to safely hold your baby when they are 7-15 pounds. (So, usually babies can fit up until 3 months old). The shirt is comfortable and breathable! I feel like a lot of carriers smother the baby making them more heated and sweaty, but the Lalabu Soothe shirt has an inner mesh panel that is comfortable and safe. The shirt also has extra built-in adjustable head support fabric and a pouch extender that fits your growing baby's size.
I like how the shirt is stretchy, but tight-fitting. It holds in my postpartum belly while holding my baby safe and secure.
I love how I can go outside, run errands, and do things around the house all while having Brynlee so close to me. She is such a snuggly baby. I love how the Soothe shirt can help me comfort her and be another wonderful nursing tank for breastfeeding.
A few things to consider: Make sure you measure your size before buying a shirt. It is meant to be tight-fitting, but if you do buy it too small, Lalabu's customer service team will help you exchange sizes for free. They recommend to wait until you are 3 weeks postpartum to put the shirt on because your body will drastically change in those initial postpartum weeks. (For me personally, I had to wait until I was 6 weeks to fit in my shirt---but that is because I gained more weight than average).
AND: Lalabu offers the first babywearing shirt for dads...how cool is that? They also just came out with Lalabu leggings. The leggings are slimming and comfortable with a compression panel that supports your postpartum belly.
Lalabu also gives back with every purchase to their "For New Lives" campaign. You can choose to select whether you want a portion of your purchase to go towards supporting adoption, empowering women entrepreneurs in Africa, fund conception assistance, or invest in giving back to start-up companies.
To learn more about Lalabu and to buy you own soothe shirt, visit their website at: https://www.lalabu.com/
This post was written in collaboration with Lalabu. Everything mentioned is my personal review and opinion.
AND we just bought a new drone! Here are some fun shots we got on the drone while we were on a little adventure.....featuring my lovely Soothe Shirt :)

7 Fascinating Facts about Cat Nutrition
Much like their giant cousins in the jungle, your little house cat is a carnivore.
Dogs and cats are both carnivores, which means both species evolved as predators that caught and consumed meat. Considerable research has been done concerning dogs’ dietary needs but not nearly as much for cats. Thankfully, however, things are catching up and we’re learning more about what our cats need.
Cats are Obligate Carnivores
Obligate carnivores have a shorter and more acidic digestive tract than others. This digestive system more easily digests meat and fat. Obligate carnivores rely on meat to supply the vast majority of their needed nutrients. Whereas some carnivores can survive (not always thrive, but survive) with plant based proteins, cats will gain more nutrients from meat. However, that doesn’t mean cats should eat only meat; that isn’t healthy either. Although opinions vary, most experts recommend that cats 40% to 50% of a healthy adult cat’s diet should be protein with most of that protein coming from meat.
Cats Require Taurine
Many cat owners know that cats require taurine as it made the news when cats were going blind and suffering from heart failure at alarming rates. It was discovered that a deficiency of taurine in commercial cat foods was the cause. Taurine, an essential amino acid, can be found in meat and fish. In addition, cat food manufacturers now supplement their foods with taurine.
Fatty Acids are Essential
Fats are necessary for many of the body’s functions, including providing the body with energy and the absorption of fat soluble vitamins. Not just any fat will do, however. Unlike dogs, cats need a food source that supplies both of the fatty acids linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. Although there are many sources for these, poultry is one of the most popular that cats normally eat.
Thiamine is a B Vitamin
Although cats are obligate carnivores and rely on meat for most of their nutritional needs, an all meat diet can cause problems, too. Thiamine, a B vitamin, is an essential nutrient found in plants—most commonly in cereal grains. Cats need as much as five times more thiamine than dogs do and without it can potentially develop a number of problems, including a head tilt, incoordination, a hunched posture, seizures, and even death. Commercial cat foods contain enough carbohydrates and/or vitamin supplements to supply your cat’s thiamine needs.
Many cat owners prefer to feed a homemade diet rather than rely on a commercial food. This is fine and these cats can thrive. Because cats do have some unique nutritional needs, before beginning a homemade diet talk to a veterinary nutritionist for guidelines for creating a nutritionally sound diet.
Cats should not Fast
In the wild many predators fast on a regular basis; they gorge when they have food and fast between hunts. Domestic dogs can fast for a day without coming to harm and in fact some dogs will voluntarily skip a meal now and then. With domestic cats, especially overweight ones, fasting can be a serious problem as fasting cats can develop hepatic lipidosis, a serious and even fatal liver disease. Normally when an animal is fasting, the body moves fat from its reserves to the liver to be converted to energy. A cat’s body is not designed to process large amounts of fat and the liver quickly becomes overwhelmed and fails. If your cat stops eating call your veterinarian right away.
Cats have unique nutritional needs but that doesn’t mean feeding your cat has to be difficult. Just remember cats need to eat a food or a diet designed specifically for them. Don’t feed your cat dog food or allow it to eat dog food. Although dog food doesn’t contain anything that would make your cat sick, it does lack several things your cat needs.

Checking out the front of the box, we don't see anything too out of the ordinary. The only difference is that because the card is a mid-range one, the package is smaller. This helps keep costs down when it comes to sending the cards around the world.
Apart from Frobot taking up most of the box, we have a sticker that takes up a good chunk of it as well. We can see the model of the card along with some of the main features like 512MB, GDDR3, Dual-link DVI and more.
Turning the box over, we have some more specifications on the card in a number of languages. Also across the bottom we have the Palit website and an email address. The smaller box design does limit what can be displayed.
Like most Palit cards, there isn't a whole lot going on inside the package. With no extra cables etc. we only find ourselves staring at an installation guide and a driver CD.

Spring 2014 is the season of Malaika Firth. The model of the moment, Malaika Firth stars in another major advertising campaign, this one for the house of Valentino.
Malaika opened and closed the Valentino Spring 2014 fashion show in Paris, and now is featured in this is stunning campaign photographed by Craig McDean with hair by Orlando Pita and makeup by Lucia Pieroni.
It seems the fashion world can’t seem to get enough of Malaika Firth. The 19 year old British model from Kenya already stars in the Spring 2014 campaigns for Burberry Prorsum and Prada and also walked in the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
This young star in the making, who has been called the “next Naomi Campbell” has a huge career ahead. She is a stunning beauty who is gracious and is so proud of her mixed race roots. Malaika told us backstage in Paris “I have this mix in me and I’m so proud to be a mixed race. I think alot of mix race girls out there are insecure about their color and they should be proud and happy that they are both”.

The Oxford Doctorate Programme at Saïd Business School is looking for talented applicants who are enthusiastic about research and genuinely intellectually curious. If this sounds like you, I encourage you to take a closer look at our DPhil programme.
At Oxford the DPhil is the degree that corresponds to a PhD at most other universities. Our DPhil Programme offers in-depth training in academic research skills that will prepare you to become a productive scholar.
Doctoral training at Saïd Business School will immerse you in all aspects of academic life. We provide courses in a wide range of research methods, and you will work closely with your supervisors (most DPhil candidates are assigned two supervisors) to define your research question and develop your thesis.
You will have opportunities to gain teaching experience, either at undergraduate level through your college or as a teaching assistant on the MBA programme, and to become involved in the intellectual community at the School and in the rest of the university.
DPhil candidates are full members of the research centres and departments with which they are associated. They attend academic conferences, make presentations, organise lectures and seminars, and contribute to management and academic decisions.
If you are accepted on the programme, we will welcome as a student and as a junior colleague.
Start your application for October 2016 entry
The application deadline date is 9 January 2016. To find more information on how to begin your application, please visit our website at http://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/programmes/degrees/dphilmgmt/how-to-apply
Within the doctorate programme, there are two possible research “pathways”.
The financial economics pathway embraces subjects such as asset-pricing and corporate finance, the design and regulation of securities markets, corporate financial policy and the impact of financial markets on real economic activity.
The management research pathway focuses on using quantitative and qualitative methods in the wider field of management studies.
We accept only the highest calibre candidates with the motivation to pursue a career in academic research. You should have at least a 2.1/3.5 GPA or equivalent in an undergraduate degree. If you are following the management research pathway, you are expected also to have achieved a distinction in a master's degree.
Scholarships and funding
Over 90 percent of DPhil students receive full-funding over four years, which includes tuition fees and a living stipend. The Admissions Office will help identify a suitable scholarship for you during the course of your doctoral application. Please contact the Admissions Office for further information.
Some or all of the PhD opportunities in this programme have funding attached. Applications for this programme are welcome from suitably qualified candidates worldwide. Funding may only be available to a limited set of nationalities and you should read the full programme details for further information.

There is no municipality in the USA which shows a monetary profit on a penitentiary.
As a recovered/recovering addict/alcoholic, I totally agree that those who are in the throes of their addiciton need help, not a prison cell,
They have to want help. No amount of wanting to help someone who doesn't want or will not accept help and/or doesn't believe they have a problem will
force them to admit they have a problem and actually do what is required to recover.
For anyone who cares, here is 'my story' (all of it 100% true)...
I started smoking cigarettes when I was about 8 or 9, then dope when I was 13, graduated to almost everything else (never used a needle thank God, or
I probably wouldn't be here, I was too afraid of them). Interestingly, I knew pretty much right away that I was in trouble when I started using. I had
a fantasy of quitting for a very long time.
Anyway, my Dad's first real intervention was when I was 17 - I stole some money from a friend who came to visit - he told me I had to enlist in the
military or the friend was going to press charges. I know he was bluffing now, but it scared me enough then that I did, so quit high school halfway
through the 11th grade, got my GED, and enlisted in the Coast Guard (with guaranteed Electronics Technical training), did my 4 years, got out, played
for a few more years, then while working at my Grandpa's pawn shop, the (parents and Grandpa) performed another intervention when I got caught forging
pawn tickets to buy coke/Crystal meth (snorting it, not shooting). This time they sent me to a rehab center in Charlotte NC, the same one that Delta
airlines (my Dad was a pilot) used for pilots with drug/alcohol problems. I quit smoking cigarettes for the first time in my life for more than a few
weeks the day I entered rehab the first time.
I stayed clean after that for about 6 months, then started playing (and smoking cigs) again. Played for another year or so, then voluntarily went back
to the rehab again. My Grandpa paid for the first time, and my parents paid for the second time. The second/last time, I waited until 3 days before
leaving rehab to quit smoking cigarettes, as I knew if I didn't I'd likely start using again. I promised myself to make one meeting per day for the
first year after I left, and I did. I never went to another meeting after the 365th one, I never felt like I needed it.
I've been clean/sober ever since, 30+ years now.
I cannot thank my Grandpa and my parents enough for being willing to do all of this for me. I likely wouldn't be here if they hadn't. But the fact is,
the first rehab I went to that was involuntary, made me aware of a way out.
So, that was all to reiterate my main point:
An addict/alcoholic has to want help. No amount of wanting to help someone who doesn't want or will not accept help and/or doesn't believe they have a
problem will force them to admit they have a problem and actually do what is required to recover.

It’s the big sister to the bandana: Made to be worn
horseback but elegant enough for the city, large
enough to wrap twice around your neck and strong
enough to catch and lead a horse, cool in the summer,
warm in the winter, a filter against hay dust, and an
iconic fixture of the American West.

Leinster House is the home of the National Parliament of Ireland. An original copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic hangs in the entrance hall, a strong reminder of the price for freedom.
The Earl of Kildare, James Fitzgerald, commissioned the building in 1745 to showcase his affluent position amongst Irish society. Legend has it that the Earl said fashion would follow him. He single-handedly turned an unpopular part of the city to become desirable by building this “stateliest of Dublin Georgian Mansions.” In 1776, Fitzgerald became the Duke of Leinster and the house was renamed.
Fitzgerald’s son was an advocate for a free Ireland and died after being captured right before the insurrection of May 1798. Little did he know that his family home would one day house the Irish Parliament.

(2) The Irish Parliament
(3) Democracy at Work,
The Stationery Office, Dublin (1996)
The history of Leinster House – the building that now houses the National Parliament of Ireland – evolved in stages.
The Earl of Kildare
The house was originally known as Kildare House after James Fitzgerald, the Earl of Kildare, who commissioned it to be built between 1745-47: James Fitzgerald set out to create the stateliest of Dublin Georgian Mansions to reflect his eminent position in Irish society. It is told that the Earl had said that fashion would follow in whatever direction he led. In succeeding, he caused an unfashionable area of the city to become a desirable one. On becoming the Duke of Leinster in 1776 (Dublin and Kildare are in the province of Leinster) the house was renamed Leinster House.
The designer of Leinster House was the architect Richard Cassels (or Castle), who was born in Hesse-Cassel in Germany about 1690. The design is characteristic of buildings of the period in Ireland and England. It has been claimed that it formed a model for the design of the White House, the residence of the President of the United States. This claim may have its origins in the career of James Hoban, who in 1792 won the competition for the design of the White House. He was an Irishman, born in Callan, County Kilkenny in 1762, and studied architecture in Dublin, and consequently, would have had an opportunity of studying the design of Leinster House.
Supporter of the United Irishmen, who advocated complete separation of Ireland from England, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, fifth son of the first Duke of Leinster, was arrested shortly before the insurrection of May 1798 and died of wounds received during his capture. No doubt it was beyond his wildest dreams that many years later the Irish Parliament would be located in his family home.
In 1815, Augustus Frederick, the third Duke of Leinster, sold the mansion to the Royal Dublin Society (RDS) for £10,000 and a yearly rent of £600 which was later redeemed. The purpose of the society was to improve the wretched conditions of the people. Many important public institutions of the present day owe their origins to the RDS: including
(a) the National Botanic Gardens (Glasnevin),
(b) the National College of Art and Design,
(c) the Dublin Veterinary College,
(d) the National Library,
(e) the National Gallery,
(f) and the National Museum.
The Society made extensive additions to the house, most notably the lecture theatre, later to become the Dáil Chamber.
A number of historic events took place in Leinster House. The first balloon ascent in Ireland was made in July 1783 by Richard Crosbie from Leinster Lawn. The Great Industrial Exhibition was opened on Leinster Lawn on 12 May 1853.
After the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, the Government secured a part of Leinster House for parliamentary use. The entire building was acquired by the State in 1924.
Today, Leinster House is the seat of the two Houses of the Oireachtas (National Parliament), comprising Dáil Éireann (the House of Representatives) and Seanad Éireann (the Senate).
The purpose which it now serves may put off to some distant time the “unhappy day” referred to in the inscription on the foundation stone, which in translation from the original Latin reads:
of which this stone is the foundation,
James, twentieth Earl of Kildare,
caused to be erected in Molesworth’s field,
in the year of our Lord 1747.
Hence learn, whenever, in some unhappy day,
you light on the ruins of so great a mansion,
of what worth he was who built it,
and how frail all things are,
when such memorials of such men cannot outlive misfortune.
By Richard Castle, Architect

Orkney launches £2.2m hydrogen ferry project
A £2.2 million project has been launched on the Scottish island of Orkney to explore solutions for decarbonising two key local industries: ferries and cruise terminals.
The HIMET – Hydrogen in an Integrated Maritime Energy Transition – project, led by the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), will last seven months and study several different solutions, including hydrogen fuel cells and running a conventional ferry engine on pure hydrogen.
Shore-side, a hydrogen engine will be used to power crew welfare facilities at the Hatston cruise terminal, and microgrid solutions to power ferry terminals will also be tested.
HIMET will also include research and stakeholder engagement activities to determine how decarbonised fuels like hydrogen and ammonia can best be used together with technology innovations to support the broader maritime energy transition.
The HIMET project consortium includes Aquatera, EMEC Hydrogen, Eneus Energy, OakTec, Orcades Marine Management Consultants, Orkney Islands Council, Ricardo, RINA, Schneider Electric, ULEMCo and Urban Foresight
“While the project will focus on addressing challenges in the Orkney context, we believe our findings will be applicable to all island and coastal environments where vessels provide vital lifeline services,” said EMEC’s Hydrogen Development Manager, James Walker.
“Orkney has long been a living laboratory for renewable energy and decarbonisation and is well placed to become a centre of excellence in maritime decarbonisation as well.”

Activision has confirmed that all of its Call of Duty Elite service features for Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be free when the game hits worldwide on 13th November.
"We've learned a lot in our first year of Call of Duty Elite, and we're very proud that we over delivered on our commitment of playable content to our premium members," said Activision Publishing CEO, Eric Hirshberg. "What we have realised is that several of the Call of Duty Elite services which are currently only available to our premium members for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are things that would further unite, engage and delight our player community. So we are going to make them free for Call of Duty: Black Ops II."
As we reported this morning, Activision will be selling four new Downloadable Content (DLC) Map Packs both through the introduction of the Call of Duty: Black Ops II Season Pass. Coming to the Xbox LIVE first, the four Call of Duty: Black Ops II DLC Map Packs will deliver a variety of new Multiplayer and Zombies playable content and are expected to be available in 2013.
The Season Pass will deliver all four Call of Duty: Black Ops II DLC Map Packs at a discounted suggested retail price of 4000 Microsoft Points* on Xbox LIVE Marketplace (discount based on four DLC Map Packs at a suggested retail price of 1200 Microsoft Points.
Hirshberg continued, "For Call of Duty: Black Ops II, DLC Map Packs will be a separate offering from Call of Duty Elite. The Season Pass will be a great way to acquire all four Map Packs at a discount, but if our fans would rather take it one Map Pack at a time, then we?ll offer each pack la carte for anyone who wants it. What we aren't doing is requiring a paid membership to access the great player services for Call of Duty: Black Ops II and we?re thrilled to offer all of Elite's Call of Duty: Black Ops II features to players for free."
New features announced for Elite include:
"Player HQ" - Track Call of Duty: Black Ops II performance with rich game statistics, including enhanced match information such as heat maps and recent match data; track challenges and extensively modify your classes like never before using Treyarch?s new Pick 10 Create-a-Class system.
" Clan HQ" - Join an existing clan or start your own, invite friends and then take part in Call of Duty: Black Ops II clan competitions with cool digital prizing.

The FBI has hat-tipped GotNews’ groundbreaking research on Donald Trump’s father Fred Trump with a single tweet that has also caused a tidal wave of liberal butthurt:
Fred C. Trump: Fred C. Trump (1905-1999) was a real estate developer and philanthropist. This release consists of… https://t.co/21KgtPpmzk
— FBI Records Vault (@FBIRecordsVault) October 30, 2016
What’s the problem here, you might ask?
Liberals are unbelievably angry that the FBI released its file on Fred Trump and called him a “philanthropist” instead of a “racist” or “KKK member”:
@FBIRecordsVault AND KKK member.
— Iusedtoknow (@1PhatDaddyO) November 1, 2016
— bad hombre (@molokococoa) November 1, 2016
@FBIRecordsVault Why is the FBI characterizing Fred C. Trump as a philanthropist?
— Jeff Nichols (@backwards_river) November 1, 2016
@wesearchr No one else in the FBI FOIA Vault is described as a philanthropist. Not even Roberto Clemente.
— Jeff Nichols (@backwards_river) November 2, 2016
@FBIRecordsVault In what sense is this an appropriate role for your twitter account to take?
— #votebabyvote (@hyperlocavore) November 1, 2016
There’s just one problem: our research proved that not only was Fred Trump never in the KKK, he was arrested for protesting the KKK in his neighborhood, and donated real estate property to build a Jewish synagogue!
Papa Trump: cleared!
You won’t hear this stuff from the lying mainstream media. Keep the GotNews mission alive: donate at GotNews.com/donate or send tips to email@example.com. If you’d like to join our research team, contact firstname.lastname@example.org.
The word “philanthropist” doesn’t appear in the document on Fred Trump released by the FBI.
We can only consider the FBI’s choice of wording a hat-tip to GotNews’ exclusive research clearing the name of Fred Trump.
Thank you! And if any other of the good men and women at the FBI want to leak stories or give anonymous tips to GotNews, we are always listening at email@example.com. Send an e-mail!
Stay tuned for more.
Our researchers shut down Facebook’s biased left-wing trending news team. They discovered never before seen footage of a young Barack Obama whining about white privilege in Kenya. They debunked and destroyed Hillary Clinton’s narco baby mama Alicia Machado, who quit giving interviews because of us.

Do I really believe God loves me unconditionally?
Do I really believe God is all-powerful and that nothing is impossible for him?
Do I really believe that God wants the best for me and is working everything out for my good?
Yes, I do.
And, because I believe these things, I am willing to live each day based on these truths.
I bet some of these same thoughts, questions and decisions must have been going through Mary’s mind as the Angel Gabriel told her she was going to give birth to a son who would be a great king and whose kingdom would never end.
What did she really believe? Was she willing to accept this very tough, extremely supernatural assignment for her life with the calm assurance that God would keep all of his promises to her?
Mary’s faith was strong and sure. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered, “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
Right answer, Mary!
Does this challenge you? It definitely challenges me.
God has given me a very tough road to travel following the death of my son, David Glasser, a Phoenix Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty May 19, 2016.
Do I believe that God can work even this evil and horrible event out for my good? That’s a very difficult question.
And my answer is yes.
But the good that will come from this will be good based on God’s perspective which is not always my perspective. You can probably imagine my perspective – I want Davey to still be here on earth, living less than 2 miles from me, dropping by later with his son to pick up my husband so they can all go to Home Depot like they did at least once a week. That will never happen again.
God’s perspective is focused on eternity and he is teaching me some lessons I never wanted to learn about focusing myself on eternity as well. I am realizing that people getting the chance to hear the messages of Davey’s legacy of love is a win for God. The opportunities we are getting to share God’s love with others is a win for God. Any chance I get to tell my story of God’s faithfulness to me and to my family through this tragedy is a win for God.
And – as long as God is winning – I’m good. I’ll submit. I’ll trust.
“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”
Love you, Abba Father.

Dr. Li Dinggang, the 50-year-old director of the Gene Therapy
Center, is an oncologist who spent five years as a research
fellow at Johns Hopkins University in the 1990s. Since 1997,

OVERVIEW: The Anthem Foundation’s public health grants revolve around anti-smoking and smoking cessation programs, maternal and newborn health, obesity in children and older adults, and the promotion of healthy and active lifestyles.
IP TAKE: Anthem tends to fund public health grants that can create measurable change on both a local and national level. But, it’s often the large national organizations that receive the bigger grants. This is an approachable funder, though, which makes it a great resource for small, community-based public health outfits.
PROFILE: The Anthem Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the health insurance giant Anthem Inc. The foundation awards grants in 24 states across the country where it has a strong employee and operational presence.
The main public health grantmaking vehicle at Anthem is its Healthy Generations program, which aims to improve the overall health of people in every generation, from babies to adults to seniors. The foundation focuses these grants on heart health, cancer prevention, healthy maternal practices, diabetes prevention, and healthy active lifestyles, and it looks for partner organizations that support these goals.
The foundation gives grants to programs that provide health services directly, as well as those that seek to transform healthcare. The foundation is also interested in seeing measurable results from the organizations it funds.
Applications are due twice a year, in February and September. Most Anthem grants range from $25,000 to $150,000. However, it isn’t completely out of the ordinary for the foundation to make a handful of larger grants, upwards of $1 million. The states in which Anthem operates are listed here.

The kidney donor for Phil Toledano’s photograph accompanying Larissa MacFarquhar’s article in this week’s magazine was a pig. A prop stylist procured four kidneys from Flying Pigs Farm in Shushan, New York, and Toledano photographed each one in a different setting and with a different kind of ribbon.
Finding human donors for a photo shoot would have been impossible, but pig organs are similar in size and anatomy to human ones, and thus were the obvious choice. “Apparently, when the pigs heard it was for The New Yorker, they all wanted to donate,” Toledano quipped. “The farmer ended up having to draw numbers out of a hat.”

Nearly 100 people and 125 dogs and cats visited a new clinic offering health care to homeless and low-income people and their pets Friday, on the campus of Washington State University Spokane.
Students and faculty from the WSU College of Nursing and WSU College of Veterinary Medicine provided both people and pets with vaccinations, health screenings, and simple treatments during the five-hour clinic.
The event, about a year in the making, was considered a big success by organizers Dr. Gail Oneal, an assistant professor in the College of Nursing, and Dr. Raelynn Farnsworth, clinical assistant professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine in Pullman.
“It was more than I could have hoped for,” Oneal said. “I knew there was a need and thought we’d be successful if even 15 to 20 pets and people showed up, but this turnout was impressive. It shows that when the College of Nursing and the College of Veterinary Medicine partner together, we can truly fill a void in our community.”
Said Farnsworth, “This joint people and pets clinic was well received. This opportunity working with WSU Nursing not only gave our veterinary students valuable experience caring for a large population of underserved animals, but also taught students the importance of thoughtful communication and provided further training in vaccine protocols. We look forward to partnering with the WSU College of Nursing on this effort again.”
The College of Veterinary Medicine sent eight fourth-year veterinary students, two vet techs, and two Doctors of Veterinary Medicine from Pullman for the clinic. The College of Nursing had 10 nursing students and three faculty members on site, plus nursing student ambassadors who worked in the reception area greeting clients and weighing animals. The event was held at the WSU Veterinary Specialty Teaching Clinic, at 218 E. Spokane Falls Blvd.
Financial support was provided by the Denice Murphy Community Nursing Endowment at the WSU College of Nursing. Students, faculty, and staff at WSU Spokane donated pet supplies like food, collars, leashes, and treats that were distributed to clients at the end of their visit. Human participants were offered warm clothing and personal care items.
Dean Joyce Griffin-Sobel of the College of Nursing said she and Dean Bryan Slinker of the College of Veterinary Medicine are committed to repeating the Healthy People + Healthy Pets event.
Said Griffin-Sobel, “We had an outstanding turnout for this inaugural event, which demonstrated what a significant need exists in our community for this kind of service. Client after client told me how grateful they were to us for providing health care to their animals and themselves, since they did not have the resources to secure it for themselves. Our students and the veterinary students worked well together assessing the four-legged clients as well as their owners, giving injections, doing health teaching and providing counseling on preventive care. To be able to offer a clinic such as this is the epitome of service learning and is exactly what our strategic plan aims to do.”

Saint Mary's big rally propels Spires to KCAC semis
It was a game befitting a matchup of two teams separated by one place in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC).
The fourth-seeded Saint Mary Spires' women's basketball team played host to No. 5 Sterling in the opening round of the KCAC basketball tournament at the Ryan Center and despite all the ice outside, these teams brought a cauldron of intensity to a game with plenty riding on it.
Just over a year ago, Sterling built a huge lead only to see USM rally for a season-defining win and on this playoff night Wednesday, the Spires were faced with the same situation in a more dramatic scenario.
Consider the sequel better than the original.
A Janae Barnes follow-up hoop and harm with 1.1 second remaining gave USM a 77-74 win and book a trip to play No. 1 Friends, a 64-60 winner McPherson, Saturday night in Wichita.
Saint Mary (18-11) was led by Candy De Los Reyes (22 points, five steals), Kierra Tate (12 points) and Barnes (10 points, seven rebounds).
“We got in a hole because they are a really well coached team and they were not the ones we wanted to face, because they are so well coached,” USM head coach Bruce Erickson said. “We talked in the second quarter about trying to do too many things and we just simplified the second half...we talked about sharing the basketball…and we wanted to look inside.
“Anytime you can play the way we did and go 0-for-15 shooting from the 3-point line and we still came back from 17 down to win it. That shows a lot of team character. Last game we hit 17 threes, this game we didn’t make any, so you have to take your hats off to Sterling – they played their butts off on defense. We only had three turnovers in the second half and that was a big deal.”
Both teams went at each other on the offensive end during the first quarter, as they went back-and-forth before Sterling claimed a19-16 edge after the game's first 10 minutes.
The game stayed pretty tight halfway through the next quarter, but then suddenly Sterling went on a bender wrapping up the first half ion a 15-3 bender to go up 41-26 at the break.
“We weren’t playing as a team and went away from what we usually do, which is sharing the ball and playing lockdown defense and we didn’t look like us,” Tate said.
“They just kept on scoring and we were just like ‘Oh, no, someone needs to get things started and take over,’ and that’s not our game,” senior Ashley Hinkle said. “We were making mistake after mistake and that taught us we can’t play as individuals and we play better as a unit, as one.”
USM shot only 28 percent in the first half and missed all 10 of its 3-point attempts over the first 20 minutes, while Sterling shot nearly 52 percent from the field.
No matter how many times the Spires came at Sterling in the third quarter hoping to cut the deficit, the guests keep their hosts at bay, but when Janae Barnes scored on a power move with 2:25 to go they USM deficit was 52-45.
Saint Mary would settle for a 58-51 deficit going into the final quarter.
“I remember when we were down and I was like ‘We’ve been down like this before and we can do it again,’ and against the same team,” Hinkle said. “We can do this.”
Then things got interesting.
An Hinkle hoop-and-harm with 8:27 remaining made the score 61-58 in Sterling's favor but the Warriors did not have the momentum despite their advantage.
Then a De Los Reyes layup at 7:05 pulled USM to within one, 63-62 and the Ryan Center erupted.
Then on a clear breakaway by De Los Reyes an obvious intentional foul took too long to suss out and the subsequent free throws were put on ice by more referee plodding and the Spires came away empty.
Yet, they wouldn't relent and would stay within a point as 200 ticks remained in regulation.
Then a De Los Reyes follow up with 2:35 left gave USM it's first lead in a long time, at 70-69.
A Kierra Tate follow up with 1:10 remaining put USM up 74-72 then a Sterling miss of two free throws allowed the Spires to hold that edge with 57 seconds left and in possession of the ball.
An ugly possession allows for Sterling to get the ball back still down two and they would capitalize with a transition layup to tie things at 74 with 22 seconds left.
That set the stage for Barnes’ heroics.
“As a team we shared the ball, got each other hyped and then our fans, our coaches everyone got into it, it got fun,” Tate said. “This wasn’t going to be my last game.”
“With our fans cheering for us it told us that we could do this, and we had faith,” Hinkle said. “Just knowing everyone was there for us, felt so good.
“We were not losing. This wasn’t going to be our last game. Never.”
A year ago, they went to the semifinals and got steamrolled by Tabor. So now, what do they have to do to avoid a worse kind of sequel.
“We have to play our game, not let Friends get up, and do what we can do as a team and stay true to what we do,” Tate said. “We have to keep our confidence up and trust our teammates.”
“(Last year) I think we were in our head and were like ‘This is Tabor, what are we going to do,’” Hinkle said.
So how does a Spires’ team that has won 10 out of 11 prepare for the KCAC heavies who have swept the regular season set with USM?
“We are going to have to simplify our offense and take care of the basketball, because Friends wins when they are forcing 25 turnovers against you,” Erickson said. “You have to value the ball and get the ball reversed on them. You have to be aggressive and take it at them and we haven’t done that the first two games.”

Pelvic organ prolapse is a type of a hernia that can be uncomfortable and rather awkward to manage since it often causes urinary issues, such as unexpected leakage of your urine when you laugh or a cough (stress urinary incontinence).
In fact, if your doctor has diagnosed you with urinary incontinence, it may be a signal that you’re experiencing pelvic organ prolapse. About a third of all women face problems with pelvic organ prolapse at some point in their life.
Dr. Kohli is a well-respected and nationally known urogynecologist and pelvic reconstructive specialist who has extensive experience and skill in diagnosing and treating pelvic organ prolapse.
He understands the frustration women experience with this condition and is happy to explain a few details about pelvic organ prolapse and the available treatment options.
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when one or more of your pelvic organs drop from their normal position in your pelvic cavity. Situated in your lower abdomen, the pelvic cavity houses your reproductive organs, parts of your urinary system, your small intestines, and pelvic colon.
Normally, a group of muscles and other strong, fibrous tissues located at the bottom of your pelvis act as a sling or hammock to hold your pelvic organs in place. We call this the pelvic floor. When these muscles and other supportive tissues weaken, your pelvic organs can “prolapse” or fall out of place and into your vagina. Your urinary bladder, for instance, may drop into your vagina and create a bulge (cystocele).
These muscles weaken for a variety of reasons, including:
Menopause and the natural effects of aging may also play a role in pelvic organ prolapse. Estrogen helps maintain the health and strength of your vaginal muscles, and your ovaries stop producing estrogen at the time of menopause.
Your symptoms often depend on the organ affected by the prolapse. When your urinary bladder prolapses, for instance, it may cause stress urinary incontinence or leakage of urine when you laugh, cough, or run. It can also create the urge to urinate frequently or the sensation that your bladder isn’t empty after you urinate. Bladder prolapse is the most common type of pelvic organ prolapse.
Other symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse include:
If your symptoms and prolapse are mild, we often start with conservative treatment such as Kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These are the same exercises women are encouraged to perform regularly following childbirth.
Sometimes we recommend you try a small device (pessary) that are inserted into your vagina to provide support for the drooping organs. Pessaries are typically made of silicone and are custom-fitted to your shape. They’re also easily removed should you desire.
Often, the most effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse is surgery. The type of surgery, again, depends on the organ or organs affected. A prolapsed uterus, for instance, may require a hysterectomy. A prolapsed bladder can often be repaired, and the weakened muscles strengthened, via an incision in the vaginal wall.
Regardless of which organs are affected or the severity of your prolapse symptoms, Dr. Kohli can help. You don’t have to live with pelvic organ prolapse or the discomfort it causes. Schedule your visit today.

Reflux is a result from a study based on handwriting analysis. The project began with the supposition that we often select typefaces based on their personality. Criteria in the psuedo-science of graphology was juxtaposed with major aspects of type design. For example, a graphologist would look at a person’s pen pressure to determine their vitality and spirit. A bold hand would equate that he or she might be very self-assured and energetic. A type designer can create a heavier weight typeface that follows this idea. In the case of Reflux, the handwriting sample for which it was based on, revealed a person who tended to be philosophical in nature and a spontaneous thinker.

WFH received an unsolicited proposal from the Society for Health Environmental and Rural Development Project (SHERDP) of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu on the 11th of September in 2007. Their proposal requested $3,195 for four bore wells and hand pumps for three villages ($799 per well). On our request, in January of 2011 they submitted a revision of the budget to account for inflation with the price per well adjusted to $$995. Being the first time we have funded this organization, the WFH Committee cautiously voted funds for the first two wells. They didn’t disappoint, and their project completion report with testimonials showed professionalism and integrity, and was submitted in a timely manner.
This report described how meetings with the communities selected the general locations for the bore wells, while later, Shri. Nateson, a 76 year old traditional dowser renowned for his ability to identify water points for digging or drilling of wells in the area, selected the specific locations. A village water users committee was then formed, consisting of 15 members (10 women and 5 men). This was done with the support of the entire community in each of the two villages, which framed the roles and responsibilities of the committee members. This included collecting money for repairs. Five members of the local Self-Help Group (SHG) were trained in hand pump maintenance. The well was drilled successfully and hand pump installed, with the community providing food and refreshments to the laborers of the company.
The community pooled funds and contributed unskilled labor toward the constructions of the platforms. At the conclusion of the project, SHERPD conducted a training program for each village on the importance of water and sanitation, the connection between health and hygiene, water conservation and recharge of wells. Two beneficiaries wrote testimonials to express the profound appreciation of both villages, Veppankadu and Kunnamalai. SHERDP estimated that 3,450 individuals, plus livestock, directly benefited from the wells.

I'm more interested in a photography that is 'unfinished'— a photography that is suggestive and can trigger a conversation or dialogue. There are pictures that are closed, finished, to which there is no way in.
We photographers live in a constant state of schizophrenia because of what we see, what we feel and what we have to overcome.
… I would recommend working to become a more developed and informed individual, a more knowledgeable and engaged citizen. This will translate into a deeper more complex understanding of the world around you, and ultimately into richer and more meaningful photography.
In my work, I present questions and concerns. [It’s] the opportunity to put a system of antibodies into circulation, without any pretense of making the world a better place, but to start a conversation with the world.
I believe photography – like many other things one does in life – is the exact expression of who one is at a given moment: every time you compose and release the shutter you give voice to your thoughts and opinions of the world around you. So other than the obvious patience (photography is a complex medium, a voice which requires time to develop) and perseverance and the necessary humility when dealing with others, I would recommend working to become a more developed and informed individual, a more knowledgeable and engaged citizen. This will translate into a deeper more complex understanding of the world around you, and ultimately into a richer and more meaningful photography.
I choose the abstraction of black and white because it helps convey symbols and ultimately meaning. By removing visual information, you have the possibility of skipping a part and going directly where you want to go!
I go with the eyes of a foreigner... trying to find relationships, to understand, to create a dialogue.
It sometimes happens that you just know... You have a feeling that things are coinciding, and that they operate and work on a number of levels—obviously visual aesthetics, but also content and narrative in terms of the bigger picture. When document and metaphor come together.
You want to be more vulnerable because that’s how your photography becomes more human. In a sense you want to become a totally blank canvas so the subject or situation reflects him or itself upon you.
..the abstraction of black and white allows photography to speak in more symbolic terms. Color, sometimes, is all too real.
I believe photography – like many other things one does in life – is the exact expression of who you are at a given moment.
The connection, that's what's important - that through this medium we can, perhaps, understand and touch each other.
I have a hard time being a neutral spectator and don't know if I even want to be one. You really aren't distanced from what you're seeing, because you're there as it's happening. At the same time you're there with a function, however imperfect the function may be. Part of this function is to be a witness and to communicate!

Mayor Michael Bloomberg made headlines last summer when it was rumored he was purchasing the Ballyshear Estate in Southampton for around $20M. Oddly, we can't find any mention that the sale actually went through. In fact, PropertyShark still has Charles S. Holmes listed as the owner. According to the NY Post, the "deal involved layers upon layers of confidentiality agreements," so that might explain the lack of available info.
We mention all this because Jeff Cully, aerial photographer extraordinaire, snapped some photos of the property over the weekend and it looks like the place is in serious need of some TLC. The pool is half-empty and green, the lawn is hurting, the gardens aren't exactly in bloom, and a dirt path has spilled out onto the main driveway. Considering that it's the end of June, if NYC's billionaire mayor did purchase the place, there's a lot of work to do if he's got any intention of using it this season.
Anyone out there in Curbed Hamptons-land got some insider info that might explain what's going on? If so, feel free to send an Email to Hamptons@Curbed.com. As always, anonymity is guaranteed.
Update: According to a source, Mr. Bloomberg did, in fact, purchase the property. He's currently in the middle of the years-long restoration project to bring the grounds and house up-to-date. And now you know.

According to legend, the tarte tatin was invented in the 19th century by pure chance when a finished apple tarte fell out of the inventors' hands and dropped onto the floor. The tarte was turned upside down into a different tin, covered with fresh dough and baked again — and the rest is history. We recommend serving this classic French cake with basil cream to contrast with the sweet flavor.
Ingredients 6 Portions
Quickly knead the cold butter (150g) with the flour, water and salt into a smooth dough.
Cover the dough and leave to rest in the fridge for around 60 minutes.
Peel, core and slice the apples.
Grease a round tart tin (approx. 25-cm diameter) with plenty of butter and sprinkle the brown sugar generously over the tin so that it can caramelize.
Next, arrange the apple slices in the tin and dot with pieces of butter. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190°C (374°F).
Roll the dough out thinly (30 cm diameter) and place on top of the apples, trim the edges and press down.
Bake the tarte tatin at around 190°C (374°F) for 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then turn out onto a large plate.
For the basil cream, combine the crème fraîche with the dried basil, basil oil and salt to form a silky cream.

As someone who has just bought an iPad, I can personally appreciate its potential to become the dominant force in the digital book wars. PDF and ePub files can be uploaded instantly, and then annotated with your stylus pen or finger. Let’s face it, if you were a student, what would you rather have? 10 heavy textbooks or a thin much lighter iPad? According to this infographic by OnlineEducation.net, 1 in 4 students would prefer digital books so much that they would give up sex for a month in order to get them. Now there’s some dedicated fans for you.
One figure I am not entirely convinced about is the assertion that digital books are on average 53% cheaper than print books. When I owned a Kindle last year, I used to compare a lot of book prices to see the price difference between the print version and the digital version. What I found was that there was not a lot of difference in price, nothing that would make me go “wow!”. 53%? I think that might be slightly on the optimistic side.
What do you think? How soon do you think it will be before we see an all-digital book world? Are you more into digital books or print books? And what do you think of this 53% figure? Does it sound about right or do you think digital books are one big expensive rip-off and fad? Sound off in the comments below.

The Scores are Out, the U.S. is Tanking, and NY & NJ are Barely Scraping the Bottom
Thinking Twice About Our Taps
Allow me to paint a familiar picture: It is Monday morning and you finally manage to roll out of bed. You groggily head to the sink to wash up, quickly fill up your water bottle as you head out to work, and sip your first coffee of the day as you sit (or stand, depending on your particular luck) through your morning commute. What do most of these habits have in common? Water. More specifically, tap water. Many of us rarely give it a second thought. Whether you’re rushing out of the house or quenching your thirst at the office, the safety of your drinking water may often seem like the one part of your day that you don’t have to worry about. However, recent analysis of tap water safety levels across the country reveals that our taps are much less reliable than we think, and the tri-state area is no exception to the rule.
New Jersey has long garnered attention for poor tap water quality. Most notably, Newark’s water supply was found to contain unsafe levels of lead, contaminating thousands of its residents and putting its children’s health at risk. While the state sources its water from clean, EPA-approved reservoirs, the problem arises as water flows through aging pipes, polluting fresh drinking water and causing health crises like Newark’s. Because the state can’t test each individual tap, the best way to find out if your health is at risk is to test your tap’s lead levels yourself. As an additional precaution, think about investing in a water purification device such as our H2O water cooler, which delivers clean, filtered water drawn from your nearest water source.
NYC’s Water Is Not The Crown Jewel We Think It Is
While New Jersey’s poor water quality may come as no surprise, New York City’s tap is often heralded as the cleanest in the country – right up there with our famous bagels and superb pizza. However, the truth is that our water contains some serious contaminants, and some of them may have health risks.
The New York City water system, which serves nearly 9 million people, contains 8 contaminants measured in levels above health guidelines established by a federal or state public health authority. NYC’s water supply contains particularly high levels of bromodichloromethane, chloroform, and trichloroacetic acid, all of which are chemicals formed as byproducts of chlorine and other disinfectants used to treat drinking water. This all may feel like a brain-squeezer, but the bottom line is that NYC’s water is not free of contaminants. Each of these chemicals has been linked to cancer, and while we did our own analysis to test that information, New Yorker’s should nonetheless be more aware of exactly what is flowing through their faucets.
7 Day Risk Free Trial
New York and Jersey's top companies trust us to protect their employees by firewalling their water. Experience why we are the highest rated water service provider in the tri-state area at no charge.
Once you've submitted your trial request, one of our specialists will contact you to confirm details and schedule installation!
Are Federal Standards Really Up To Par?
While tap water quality is monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency, the issue remains that certain pollutants have yet to be regulated, while some are authorized in amounts that scientists have sometimes found toxic. For example, under the federal Lead and Copper Rule, if lead concentrations measure less than 15 parts per billion (ppb) in 90 percent of customer taps sampled, the water utility in question remains within federal guidelines and the water flowing from their taps is deemed safe for drinking. However, some agencies, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, report that lead concentrations below 15 ppb may still put children’s health at risk because of the large volume of water they consume relative to their body size. Additionally, a 2017 analysis done by the EPA found that water lead concentrations greater than 3.7 ppb may put a formula-fed baby at risk of elevated blood lead levels. This indicates that federal standards for water safety do not always align with high health standards.
Aside from sub-par water regulation laws, some substances contaminating our water aren’t regulated at all, including polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Found in non-stick substances such as Teflon, PFAS are used by thousands of manufacturers to create everything from carpets to cookware, and the disposal of these chemicals often contaminates local water sources. Rhea Suh, former president of the National Resources Defense Council, reported as recently as March 2019 that PFAS were found in the blood-streams of 98 percent of Americans and are linked to such health threats as thyroid disease and birth defects. There is much research left to be done regarding exact correlations between unregulated contaminants and specific health risks, but the fact remains that no tap water can always be assumed safe to drink. Check out the EWG’S tap water database to find out which contaminants were found in your zip code’s water supply, and click here to find out how to take the proper precautions to ensure your best health.

What Is Email Spoofing and How Can We Avoid It?
It is the creation of an email address to deceive the recipient into thinking the email originated from someone they know or somewhere other than the intended source. The end goal of email spoofing is to trick the recipients into opening responding to the email, in turn opening their security gates to malicious links, malware attachments, sending sensitive data, and even wiring corporate funds. You can know more on Routerlogin.mobi regarding the protection of sensitive data. Email spoofing is possible due to the simple fact that not all core email protocols have a built-in method of authentication.
Reasons for Email Spoofing
- Hiding the sender’s true identity.
- Avoid spam blocklists.
- Pretending to be a friend or relative the recipient knows, to get access to sensitive information or access to personal assets.
- Pretending to be from a business to get access to bank login details or other personal data.
- Ruining the image/goodwill of the assumed sender.
- Used to commit identity theft.
- Install and spread malware hidden in the attachment.
How to avoid email spoofing
To avoid becoming a target of email spoofing, it is very essential to keep anti-malware software up to date. When unsure of any email, contacting the sender directly should be the priority, especially if sharing private or financial information with them. The users and businesses both can prevent email spoofers from accessing their systems or scamming them in a variety of ways as mentioned down below.
- install an email security gateway
Email security gateways shield users by blocking emails that have suspicious materials/elements or do not meet the specific security protocols a business puts in place. Some gateways offer premium services but all can detect malware, spam and phishing attacks.
- Using antimalware software
These Software programs identify and block suspicious websites, stop spam emails and detect spoofing attacks before they reach the user’s inbox.
- Using encryption to protect emails
An email signing certificate encrypts emails in a way that allows only the intended recipient to have access to the content. In asymmetric encryption, a public key encrypts the email and a private key is provided to the recipient which decrypts the message. An additional digital signature can prove to the receiver that the sender is a valid source. People can also encrypt email attachments, in case of a lack of board encryption in an organization.
- Using email security protocols
Infrastructure-based email security parameters can reduce spam and threats to the system by using domain authentication. With SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and SPF(Sender Policy Framework), businesses can also use DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) to provide additional security with a digital signature. Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) can also be used to take actions when a threat escapes under SPF and DKIM.
- Using reverse IP lookups to authenticate senders
Looking up a reverse IP helps confirm the identity of the apparent sender. It verifies the email’s source by identifying the domain name in association with the IP address.
Businesses can also take into account publishing a domain name system (DNS) record stating who can send emails on their domain’s behalf. Messages can be inspected before the email body is downloaded and can be removed before causing any serious harm.
- Training employees in cyber awareness
With software-based anti-spoofing measures, one must also advocate user caution, and teach employees about cybersecurity and create cyber awareness and how to recognize suspicious elements/materials and protect themselves. Basic educational programs can prepare employees with email spoofing cases and give them the ability to notice and handle spoofing tactics with procedures to follow when a spoofing attempt is discovered. Training and learning should be continuous so that the materials and methods are up to date as a new threat emerges.
- Watching out for possible spoofed email addresses
The email addresses that a user receives are often predictable, basic, and familiar. Users can keep an eye out for unidentified or odd email addresses and always verify an email’s origin before interacting with it. Attackers usually use the same tactics multiple times and form a pattern so users must remain vigilant at all times.
- Never give out personal information
In the majority of circumstances, receiving spoofed emails in an inbox doesn’t cause real damage, they only cause real damage when a user interacts with them and responds with personal information. By making it a ritual never to divulge personal information in emails, users can tremendously limit the effects email spoofing could have on them.
- Avoid clicking on strange attachments or unfamiliar links
Users should always keep clear of suspicious attachments and links in an email. The standard practice of a user should be that they examine every element of an email, keep a lookout for telltale signs, like misspellings and unfamiliar file extensions, before going ahead and clicking on a link or attachment.

Refusing to Learn from Our Mistakes
By Mary Mostert
June 23, 2008
A symposium entitled The Place of the Surge in the War on Terror was held at the David Horowitz Freedom Center in Santa Barbara from May 30-June 1. It needs to be read by every American, regardless of your current view about the war in Iraq. A transcript, which is 17 pages, is available in the June 19th edition of Front Page Magazine.
In effect, it is a report from a military perspective of the amazing success of the surge that took place in Iraq since last year and the almost totally unreported or non-understood threat we face from the governments we buy our oil from in the Middle East. Caroline Glick, one speaker at the symposium, who has been working as a lecturer at the Israeli War Colleges in tactical warfare for the past five years, grabbed my attention in her first sentence when she said: "Everybody's going to say the same thing, which is that one of the problems with the war in Iraq is that we're treating it as a war, as opposed to a campaign in a larger war."
That is exactly what happened in the 1920s and 1930s when no one wanted to address the real situation facing the world due to Adolf Hitler and his philosophy and goals for Fascism and world domination which he outlined in his 1925 book, Mein Kampf. He wrote that by no means did he believe "in an equality of races, but along with their differences" he recognized "their higher or lesser value" and felt "obligated to promote the victory of the better and stronger, and demand the subordination of the inferior and weaker in accordance with the eternal will that dominates this universe."
Hitler justified the slaughter of Jews, Poles, Slavic races such as Serbs and Russians, and eventually Christians with that philosophy. Today we are currently buying 22% of the oil and gas we use in the USA from Middle Eastern nations with active terrorist campaigns directed against civilians in Israel, the USA and other nations, while the US Congress blocks access to our own vast resources in offshore and ANWAR oil and oil shale in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Think about that as you read the following from the symposium, and contemplate Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with nuclear weapons or check out Rep. Chris Cannon's (R-UT) recently introduced Oil Shale bill, HR 6211.
Caroline Glick: "I'm just going to give my perspective on it (the success of the Surge) from where I'm sitting, which is in Jerusalem, which is in my view, my informed view, the central front of this war, and the one that's been most ignored, and to our detriment -- and just talk for a second about what the situation is in Israel on the eve of the end of the surge in Iraq, which is that Israel is today surrounded by Iranian proxies on its southern and its northern border -- it's northern border both with Lebanon and with Syria.
"Iran itself, of course, is arming itself now with nuclear weapons that the head of Mossad thinks that it will have by next year. And Hezbollah and Syria both have missiles that are capable of reaching every spot in Israel. Syria has chemical weapons and biological weapons. And as we saw from last September, they also were developing nuclear capabilities with North Korean and Iranian assistance. Gaza is run by Hamas, which is also an Iranian proxy. And it's gaining force as well on the West Bank, which is run by the Israeli military.
"So Israel is probably in one of the worst military situations we've seen in recent years. Because of the way that the second Lebanon war in the summer of 2006 ended, Israel effectively lost its deterrent capacity against its enemies. Because it was unable to defeat Hezbollah -- which is simply an Iranian foreign legion in Lebanon -- or to prevent missiles from raining down on Northern Israel for the duration of that war.
"So Israel itself faces a very, very difficult situation. Every single day in Gaza that the Hamas regime is allowed to remain in power, the border between Hamas' Gaza and Egypt in the Sinai is being used as one of the main highways of terror traffic in the world. We see the armament going on inside of Gaza as something that is unprecedented.
"And we also have to remind ourselves that this was going on before Hamas took charge of Gaza, when it was under Fatah terror control until June of last year. Also, the Gaza-Egypt border was an active border for international terrorists and terror material. Hamas itself has built up an army. It has called it the Executive Force, but essentially it's an army to all intents and purposes. It has units that are formed up to -- I think it's now brigade level. And they're organized and trained by Iran, which also arms and finances them.
"So this is a new situation that we hadn't seen before in Gaza. Southern Israel is, as you know, daily attacked with missiles and mortars and rockets from Gaza. And the Israeli government is essentially doing nothing. So that's Israel's strategic situation -- the end of the surge. But to the military situation, you also have to add the diplomatic situation. From a diplomatic perspective, since the Palestinians began their jihad against Israel in September of 2000, Israel has never been in a worse situation diplomatically. We see that not only in Europe, but even here in the United States, you have educated, otherwise intelligent people discussing as a real possibility the prospect of America recognizing Hamas as a legitimate player, and having direct contact with Hamas, and accepting them as a legitimate player in Palestinian politics, such as they are. And this is in the United States.
"And of course in Israel, our radical Left also is saying, Well, since we can't make a deal with Fatah, because they've essentially been rejected by the Palestinians, we should be trying to cut a deal with Hamas. So we have both diplomatically, internationally, Israel is becoming more and more of a pariah state. You hear it accepted that, oh, it's okay to kill Jews, or, well, they just kill Jews, so it's not that big of a deal; they're not going after Americans, they're not going after Europeans, they're not even going after other Arabs. They're just killing Jews, and therefore they're not a terrorist organization.
"The EU, for instance, has never recognized Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, and it is in fact a genocidal proxy of Iran, with a stated objective of annihilating the Jews and also calling for the death of the United States. But they're not a terrorist organization. And so we see this diplomatic isolation of Israel. We see this noxious form of anti-Semitism, of demonizing the Jewish state -- and essentially saying that it doesn't have any right to exist, and certainly not to defend itself -- being widely accepted in international circles, and also in widening circles in the United States, and not only on college campuses -- we were discussing this morning with the college kids -- but in general.
"We have demonization of Jews going on in this country, the likes of which I had never imagined could happen, with people not even blinking when they say that the media is controlled by Zionists, or Washington is controlled by Zionists. This is something that was not part of my experience growing up in this country. But it's much more prevalent now, and we all know that neo-conservatism is just another word for Judaism. So this is the situation in Israel and about Israel, regarding Israel, throughout the world.
"And so when I look ahead at where we're going, I'm not optimistic as I would like to be, simply because it never occurred to me that it could get this far along without the people who are in charge in Washington and in Israel and in other places saying to themselves, Gee, this isn't working anymore. And we have to stop pretending that we can attribute genocidal terrorism and ideologies to a lack of Palestinian statehood.
"It never occurred to me that we would be seven years out beyond 9/11, or eight years almost, without any acknowledgement of the central truth. So I think that things are just going to get worse until somebody finally wizens up. I simply hope that we wise up before Iran has a chance to test their nuclear weapon on Tel Aviv."
The world had the same problem in the 1930s when they thought giving Hitler a bit of land here and there that he said he wanted would pacify him. Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.

Pandas: our world-famous celebrities
The San Diego Zoo has had a love affair with giant pandas ever since two of the black-and-white bears came to visit in 1987. After years of red tape and tons of application paperwork, the Zoo and China agreed on a 12-year research loan of two giant pandas, Bai Yun and Shi Shi. A brand-new exhibit area was built for our panda guests, which has since been expanded and renovated and is now called the Giant Panda Research Station. Although we currently have five giant pandas, our facility can comfortably house up to six! But hurry in to see 4-year-old Mei Sheng before he heads to China in October.
Today our giant pandas enjoy deluxe accommodations with larger exhibit areas and extra vegetation and climbing structures. You'll enjoy the newer exhibit area too, with its winding, elevated viewing paths that give great panda-watching opportunities into the two main enclosures.
Next to the public panda viewing area is the building that houses the Giant Panda Team, made up of the pandas' keepers and researchers who observe and study giant panda behavior in an effort to learn all we can about these endangered bears. Be sure to stroll through the Giant Panda Discovery Center, located nearby. It includes a climb-in panda den, interactive exhibits, and even a chance to find out what pandas sound and smell like!
* The People's Republic of China sent two giant pandas, Basi and Yuan Yuan, to the San Diego Zoo for a 200-day loan in 1987. More than two million people were able to view the pandas during their stay.
* On August 21, 1999, Bai Yun gave birth to Hua Mei, the first giant panda born in North America to survive to adulthood. Millions of people around the world watched Hua Mei grow up via the Zoo's Panda Cam. Hua mei has given birth to three sets of twins since her arrival in China.
* In 1979, the Zoo began working with Chinese zoos to help many of China's endangered animals, including red pandas, takins, and Manchurian cranes.
* A panda narrator is at the panda's main viewing area daily to share the latest news and to answer guests' questions about the "bamboo bears."
* Bamboo is grown on Zoo grounds and at several off-grounds locations to supply the pandas with their daily meals.

The Klipsch Heresy floor-standing speakers are part of the company’s famed Heritage series; they date back to the 50s and each speaker is handbuilt at the company’s Arkansas factories. Last year, we reviewed the Heresy III (the most recent iteration of the Heresy speaker), hooking them up to a Sonos Connect:Amp, and loved the classic look of the speakers combined with the convenience of streaming music.
If you like the style and sound of these compact three-way speakers, not to mention the size (they’re compact for floor-standing speakers, only standing about 2-feet tall), Klipsch just announced a special edition of these Heresy III. As noted by Sound & Vision, the special edition speakers have a matte black finish and a titanium-finish satin grille cloth.
For anybody who didn’t want to the classic wooden look, but wanted Klipsch’s classic sound, the color of these special edition speakers will better match your monochrome sound system. It’s unclear how many of these matte black Heresy III speakers the company will produce, but it’ll be limited. Klipsch claims that each will come with a small plaque on the back that’s signed by the craftsman.
It’s also unclear how much they expensive these speakers will be, but it’s unlikely that they’ll be any cheaper than a pair of regular Heresy III speakers ($2,598). You can find out more by visiting the company’s website.

Opmantek publishes and licenses two Free Open Source Software products–NMIS (Network Management Information System), an enterprise and service provider grade network monitoring and management solution and Open-AudIT a leading discovery and audit solution that intelligently scans an organization’s network, audits all hardware, software and firmware and detects rogue devices. With the free open source products providing the core functionality, Opmantek also publishes a suite of add-on modules that extend and enhance the existing feature set and provide a range of commercial support packages.
Maher asserts that the only way to support the discovery and management of a diverse range of manufacturers and devices is through open source. “No closed source provider can possibly have every environment with every device from every manufacturer in their lab to build their software,” says Maher.
“The power to adapt the software had to be put in the hands of the user and the manufacturers of the equipment to be audited or managed.” Opmantek is a huge contributor to the open source community. They utilize the best open source technologies in their products, which enables them to rapidly respond to customer demands by creating and adding new products and features.
One of the great benefits of open source is that over time it is increasingly adapted by a diverse range of users to suit a diverse range of environments
Opmantek’s software is used by over 70,000 organizations globally including MSPs, telco’s, banks, data centers, and manufacturers. Their software was recently the subject of a case study when implemented by an international aid organization that needed better visibility into its networks and the devices connected to them. The agency had a high instance of BYOD, as many of the workers were independent volunteers with extreme environmental challenges—decentralized remote networks spread across vast geographical distances in a country with limited Internet accessibility and interrupted power supply. Open-AudIT was deployed via an AWS cloud instance and within a week, the agency had commenced auditing. They now have detailed visibility of the hardware used across their organization and the software installed on it. Maher proudly states, “Every 6 minutes a new organization implements an Opmantek product. We spend time and money developing the products offered free of cost, providing high quality and market leading features.”
Opmantek will shortly release NMIS Enterprise—an enterprise version of the free network management software. “We have developed and launched some incredibly powerful modules and want to bring that power closer to the core product. We have recently released the significantly upgraded version of Open- AudIT Enterprise,” delineates Maher. Opmantek is expanding its footprint geographically by venturing into Brazil and Hong Kong. “We want to maintain and grow our world leading install base, empowering organizations to improve the way they are operating,” concludes Maher.

Some good may come out of the Komen Foundation's hard right turn on abortion this week. It was about time, anyway, for a fundamental re-examination of Komen by people committed to the cause of cancer research.
You'll find a good summary of reasons to be worried about giving to Komen, even before this week's right-to-life train wreck, in a piece published last October in the Sacramento Bee. The Bee story reported that Komen has been giving less and less of its ample largesse to research in recent years anyway, spending more of it on self-promotion and merchandising. Komen has a frankly terrible rate of support for research compared with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The paper's main source was a book called Pink Ribbon Blues: How Breast Cancer Culture Undermines Women's Health by medical sociologist Gayle A. Sulik, published in 2010 by Oxford University Press.
The book reported that between 2004 and 2010 Komen's contributions to cancer research fell from 23 to 16 percent of all the money it raises. The Bee story quotes Komen officials as rebutting those numbers, claiming instead that their contribution to research in that same period fell from 29 to 21 percent.
But here's the most interesting number. The rate of contribution to research by the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, according to the Bee, is 88 percent.
Forget about this week's travesty, in which Komen stopped funding breast exams at Planned Parenthood clinics to curry favor instead with right-wing abortion foes. If your primary motivation in giving money is to aid breast cancer research, should you be sending your checks to Komen anyway?
And maybe even that is not the right place to stop asking questions. The Bee story raises a number of other provocative questions about Komen -- Does it make money selling carcinogenic perfume? -- and the story also brings up deeper issues in breast cancer research generally. Is the whole field of fundraising for breast research a distortion fueled by the subliminal fact that people are more favorably disposed toward breasts than other parts of the body?
OK, listen: At some point in too many years of columnizing, I've come out against just about everything else, but I draw the line here. I am not coming out against breasts. I think it's perfectly OK for people to have breasts. You're fine. As you were, and carry on.
But it's probably fair to suggest, also, that a really high-minded approach to cancer research for those of us who know pretty much nothing about it might be turn our money over instead to scientists and researchers without any particular anatomical strings attached. We could let them decide where to put it. Just thinking out loud here.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
SHOW ME HOW
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
In the meantime, I hope we will be seeing a lot more of Sulik on the morning talkies over the next few weeks. The healthy outcome in this, for people who do care about research but are angry at Komen, is not to give up giving. It's to find another place or way to give.
And, by the way, do you think all the people taking part in those pink ribbon runs for Komen knew that a fifth or less of the money they raised was going to cancer research? I've just been doing some quick figuring on Google maps. To run a full mile down Oak Lawn Avenue from my office at the corner of Maple and Oak Lawn, I would have to run past Lemmon all the way to Gilbert and Blackburn, which is getting me way too close to the Park Cities anyway. If I go that close, I tend to get headaches from the cubic zirconia glare.
But if I'm running strictly for the benefit of cancer research, at the Komen rate I should be justified in doing 21 percent of a mile or 1,108.8 feet, which would take me down just about exactly to the neighborhood Starbucks, where I could pat myself on the back with a double cappuccino whole milk please.
Choices, people. It's all about choices.

One of Trump's judicial picks went to bat for him about his tax returns, but the majority of the court disagreed with her.
At the first opportunity, Judge Neomi Rao tried to do what Donald Trump put her on the second-most powerful court in the country to do: run interference for Trump.
On Friday, the D.C. Circuit issued a ruling in Trump v. Mazars. That's the case about whether Trump can stop his accounting firm, Mazars, from giving his tax returns to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform as part of its investigation into Trump's finances.
The Oversight Committee has argued that its investigation underpins a larger inquiry as to whether Congress needs to amend disclosure and ethics rules. Trump has contended the committee has no right to investigate him because it's looking at his underlying criminal behavior, and it should only be able to do that in an impeachment proceeding.
The majority of the court didn't buy that at all, holding that "[c]ontrary to the President's arguments, the Committee possesses authority under both the House Rules and the Constitution to issue the subpoena, and Mazars must comply."
Rao — whom Trump picked to replace Brett Kavanaugh after he was elevated to the Supreme Court, despite credible allegations of attempted rape — disagreed.
She penned a 67-page dissent that is untethered from actual law and serves only to prop up Trump's reasoning. It's not a big surprise that a judge who had no previous judicial experience, is a rape apologist, and brags about gutting regulations would side with Trump.
Rao's underlying conclusion is exactly what Trump says: that he can't be investigated by Congress outside of an impeachment hearing.
Of course, Trump is refusing to cooperate with the impeachment proceedings as well, but that's another matter. Rao writes that "[t]he most important question is not whether Congress has put forth some legitimate legislative purpose, but rather whether Congress is investigating suspicions of criminality or allegations that the President violated a law. Such investigations may be pursued exclusively through impeachment. The House may not use the legislative power to circumvent the protections and accountability that accompany the impeachment power."
In case her stance wasn't clear enough, elsewhere in the dissent she writes that "[w]hen Congress seeks information about the President’s wrongdoing, it does not matter whether the investigation also has a legislative purpose. Investigations of impeachable offenses simply are not, and never have been, within Congress’s legislative power."
These statements not only have no basis in law, but Rao makes no attempt to say that they do — and the majority opinion calls her out on it, noting her dissent "identifies nothing in the text, structure, or original meaning of Article I or Article II of the Constitution to support such a sweeping rule of legislative paralysis."
Rao's stance, the majority says, would mean that "Congress must either initiate the grave and weighty process of impeachment or forgo any investigation in support of potential legislation."
It's that "legislative paralysis" that is precisely what the Trump administration is going for. He's declared that House committees can't investigate him because it touches his underlying crimes. In other words, his — and Rao's — argument is that if a House oversight investigation turns up criminal behavior on the part of the president, it just has to stop investigating.
The majority points out that Supreme Court precedent already says otherwise and that "a congressional committee which is engaged in a legitimate legislative investigation need not grind to a halt whenever ... crime or wrongdoing is disclosed."
Rao's dissent also deliberately mis-frames what the Oversight Committee is doing. She states that, by trying to get Trump's tax returns, the Committee is seeking "to reconstruct whether the President broke the law."
While the net effect of getting Trump's tax returns may be a determination that he broke the law, the committee is investigating whether any of his actions warrant strengthening ethics and oversight rules — a task wholly within the legislative purview. The existence of impeachment cannot possibly mean that a House committee must immediately commence impeachment the minute its members suspect wrongdoing.
Rao's stance is absurd on its face, but it also highlights a key problem with the Trump era. The laws didn't anticipate a president who would be gleefully, continually, and openly engaged in wrongdoing. The Congress and the courts didn't anticipate that a possible defense to Trump's crimes might be an assertion that he cannot be investigated for those crimes the minute anyone in the House suspects he has committed a crime.
This victory at the D.C. Circuit is sweet but may be short-lived. Trump can ask the entire court to rehear the case, or he could appeal directly to the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, there he likely has at least four solid votes — Justices Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Kavanaugh — who will share his view that he cannot be investigated.
That leaves Chief Justice John Roberts, who has already proven, when gutting the Voting Rights Act, that he's willing to overturn key constitutional provisions without saying what part of the Constitution is actually violated.

When we first started to talk about JoomlaDay UK we had a few aims and targets. After a gap since the last JoomlaDay and several years since a big event we knew we had to reboot the event. We were confident that we could get 50 people and we hoped that we would get 100 but never did we imagine that there would be over 160. So many in fact that our venue would need to find some extra chairs not once but twice.
Planning the event took a ridiculously short time of just 77 days but as Microsoft were moving out of the building the following week it was Feb 13th or not at all. Having a venue provided completely free of charge makes a massive difference in planning an event as it takes a lot of the pressure off.
At the beginning we planned a single track event but as the number of attendees rose we were able to increase that to three tracks. We were fortunate that so many great speakers from across Europe had already planned to attend JoomlaDay UK so it wasn't a stretch to ask them to speak.
Running an event is expensive and we knew that to successfully reboot the event we had to offer tickets as low as possible. Regular tickets were just £25 and we had a special community sponsor ticket at £50 which enabled us to offer concessions to students, unemployed and pensioners. London is an expensive place and we wouldn’t have been able to offer tickets at this price if it hadn't been for Microsoft who generously provided the venue and the catering.
Even without these expenses, an event costs a lot of money and we needed additional sponsors. Many JoomlaDay set very high sponsorship rates that are exclusive - we chose to set very low rates to attract more sponsors. We had budgeted for a certain amount of sponsorship revenue and only added things to the event, such as the awesome event folders, as the sponsorship revenue came in. In the end we had twenty sponsors which was great as they not only provided the much needed money they also helped to promote the event. The more sponsors you have the more promotion and marketing that takes place.
Organising an event is hard and takes a lot of time. Some events choose to have a large team to spread the workload. We chose the opposite. Brian handled the speakers and sponsors and Rowan did everything else - which is a considerable amount. One advantage of there just being the two of us is that we were able to work without having to constantly have meetings to discuss things. We could just make a plan and then get on with it.
A JoomlaDay is not just about the sessions you attend but the people that you meet. In a busy one day event there isn't that much time for getting to know people so we had two social events for all the attendees (no exclusive speakers only events) - one the night before the event that was organised by JUG London and one after the event sponsored by Rochen in a very traditional pub, The Albert, that to my delight had several "hidden secrets".
It's all on film
As soon as the sponsorship money started to come in one of the first decisions made was to invite David Jardin over from Germany with the J&Beyond video equipment. David really knows what he is doing and before the final session was over he already had most of the sessions on youtube. Shipping the big box of equipment - and making sure it was properly insured - was quite expensive but definitely worth it. With three sessions on at any time making a choice didn't need to be hard as everything has been recorded.
A not so small problem
As the event rapidly approached we realised that we had a small problem. We had kept our costs so low, raised so much sponsorship and attracted so many attendees that we would have a large revenue surplus - what to do with it?
Supporting Joomla in the UK
We have put £2000 aside to help the Joomla User Groups (JUGs) in the UK offer the new Joomla Certification. There will be room hire and potentially expenses for someone to administer the exam.
Supporting JoomlaDay in Africa
Not every JoomlaDay is in a position to raise enough sponsorship money as they are not attractive events to sponsors. But that doesn't mean that a JoomlaDay in Africa doesn't require money to operate so we have donated £2000 to OpenSourceMatters to be specifically used to help run Joomla community events in Africa. (This is additional funds on top of any funding that all JoomlaDay are able to claim from OSM and is not intended to be spent on international travel or accommodation.)
We have also made a donation of £1250 to http://clownswithoutborders.org.uk/ to help them in their work "to improve the quality of life for children and communities living in crisis." Everyone who as at JoomlaDay will I am sure agree that the work they do is something that as a community we should be honoured to support.
We are still finalising the accounts and they will be published on the web site. We expect that there will still be a surplus of over £1000 and this will be used as seed funding for JoomlaDay UK 2017.
An event like this is created not just by the organisers, the sponsors and speakers but by the attendees as well. To everyone of you who was there and took the few moments to say thank you - we really appreciate it.
Looking forward to JoomlaDay UK in February 2017

Australian dress register ID:543
Owner:Rottnest Island Authority
Owner registration number:CH83.89 (West Australian Museum on loan to Rottnest island Museum)
Date range:1960 - 1970
Place of origin:Rottnest Island, Western Australia, Australia
Hallie's Hat was made by Hallie Margaret Stow (1876-1972) from seaweed collected on Rottnest Island. Hallie was a regular visitor to the Island between 1929 and 1970 visiting mainly in winter with three friends, Catherine Summers, Rettie McGibbon and Grace Davidson. They would take horse trips to the West End, and around the Salt Lakes. Mrs Stow made many such hats for family and friends. Hettie’s daughter Mrs Sheila Plank donated the hat to the Rottnest Island Museum
This hat is a valued object in the Rottnest Island Authority’s museum display. It is historically and socially significant, being representative of a time and place when Rottnest was regarded as an inexpensive holiday playground for all Western Australians. International travel for the annual holiday was uncommon and the notion of “home made” was aligned with skill, design flair, individuality, and originality, as well as being economical.
Rottnest Island is 11km long by 4.5kms wide. It has undergone many incarnations since being named by early Dutch explorer, William de Vlamingh. Since 1830 it has been the home of free settlers, a summer home for the Governor, a place of confinement for Aboriginal prisoners, a telegraph station, a detainment centre for men of German and Austrian descent during WW1, a military defence base during WW2, and since 1911, a holiday island for West Australians. Its most famous marsupial is the Quokka for whom the island was originally named. It is now an “A” Class reserve with very little transport except for bicycle. It has a general store, a few cafes and shops at the area called the Settlement, but once outside this area it is possible to enjoy, in tranquillity, the many outdoor activities the island has to offer. Author: Gaynor Ashford, June 18 2014.
This hat is made from Rottnest Island seaweed, which has many shades through from cream to glossy dark brown. The style is a variation on a Sailor style with slightly rounded tip and angled brim. The front is decorated with a bunch of leafy seaweed, corals, sponge and shells, attached to a thin single chain band. The hat lining is in three parts, a circular cream tip, white tricel sideband and a petersham stiffening band and hat elastic to complete.
History and Provenance
Hallie's grandfather, Nicol Paterson, emigrated from the Orkney Islands in Northern Scotland and came to Fremantle in 1840. From Pinjarra the family moved to Whitby Falls and farmed from 1886 until 1897 when they built a house called "Stromness' on the bushland on the corner of Keane and St Leonards Streets in Mosman Park, now a very popular suburb. Hallie married Robert Norman Stow in 1907. He was an accountant and work took him from Ravensthorpe in the south of the state, to Sydney, Newcastle and Pinjarra before settling in Mt Lawley, a suburb of Perth, in the 1920s. Travelling in the west at this time meant using coastal steamers or horse drawn covered wagons 'as in the Wild West'.
Hallie and Norman had two daughters, Norah and Sheila. Hallie was a keen artist, woodworker and craftsperson. She enjoyed collecting flotsam and jetsam from the seashore to use in her craftwork which included bags and baskets as well as hats.She enjoyed using natural and inexpensive materials to create beautiful things.
Hallie and her friends were keen Rottnest visitors, and would travel on steam boats such as the "Zephyr" and the "Wandoo" in all weathers to enjoy a week or two of tranquillity.
Hallie and Norman's descendants still live in WA.
Births, deaths, marriages, children or family information
Hallie Margaret Stow nee Paterson was born in 1876 into a pioneering family at "Creaton" a farming property on the Murray River, near Pinjarra, Western Australia. Her father, William Paterson, became a Member of Parliament, and the first manager of the Agricultural Bank, now Bankwest. Her mother was Susannah Chidlow, of the Chidlow family, after whom Chidlow's Well was named. Hallie died in 1972, aged 96.
How does this garment relate to the wider historical context?
Hallie's experiences on Rottnest would have begun not long after World War 1 when the island was used as an internment camp for Germans, Hungarians and Austrians. Although the island ceased to be a prison for Aboriginal prisoners in 1903, the last prisoner left the island in 1931. During World War 2, the island was part of Australia's defence, with manned gun emplacements. Rottnest has officially been a holiday place for West Australians since 1911. It is now an "A" Class reserve.
Where did this information come from?
Rottnest Island History
Newspaper Article, undated, but probably from the "West Australian"
A transcription of the Article, letter dated 12/06/2008 from Geoffrey Shellam, Hallie's Grandson, to the Rottnest Island Museum Curator.
Many thanks to Wendy Bradshaw, Curator at Rottnest Island, and Kate de Bruin of the Western Australian Museum for information and advice.
This garment has been exhibited
Hallie's hat has been on display at the Rottnest Island Museum since the mid 1980s.
Place of origin:
Rottnest Island, Western Australia, Australia
The hat was made from found materials. Hallie was fond of beachcombing.
Hallie Stow and Sheila Plank, her daughter
A hat like this would be worn at any time during the West Australian summer.
Hallie Stow ( Mrs Robert Norman Stow)
Trimmings / Decoration
Attached to the twine band are various leafy seaweeds and small shells and corals. such as would be found along a sandy beach. Shells include a cowrie and bivalves.
The hat band is a single crochet chain of nylon twine, encircling the hat between sideband and brim.
Fibre / Weave
The seaweed is in its natural state of variegated creams to dark brown.
- Natural dye
- Synthetic dye
The seaweed strands were plaited into a four strand flat plait. Starting at the centre of the tip, the plaited seaweed was stitched, using black thread, anticlockwise into a a circular shape, probably fixed onto a block with pins. The sizing suggests it was made for a small female head.
- Hand sewn
- Machine sewn
The hat elastic is stitched to the inside of the hat, where the petersham band meets the brim at the two side points.
- Hook and eye
Stiffening / Lining / Padding
A 40mm deep Petersham band stops the hat from stretching. It is hand stitched to the white lining of the sideband and where the brim meets the sideband.

Building a niche website is simple but building a “profitable” niche website is not easy. You may think that by building a niche website, get it going and boom..!, money start rolling in. Well, it takes time and effort to get your site to be recognized and to see it makes money for you.
If you are really interested in making your website, you may want to consider this before you embarked to built a website.
a) It is not an automatic money making website. This involved a lot of work and you will not see returns from your investment immediately. It will take time to setup, built your ranking on Google and thereafter traffic generation.
b) Your earning will be towards building your niche. Since you are generally promoting on your niche, you will be focus on a group of audience. This will be a disadvantage as you will foresee other group of audience are not interested in your niche. So you will reach your outmost potential on your website and reach a plateau on your income at some point of time.
How to Find a Niche Website
There are a couple of way to do this. You can either do it from scratch or engage a professional to do it for you. If you are on a tight budget, you will have no other choice but to do it from scratch.
To do it from scratch, let me go through with you the following.
a) Affordable base to do your setup. It is rather affordable these days to do a website. What you will need is a domain and hosting account which is about less than $10 per month depending on the hosting software you choose.
b) Easy to setup. Setting up a website is easy nowadays and you can find loads o information on the internet.
c) Convenient and Faster to get result. Niche website are more easier and quicker to get traffic as compared to blogging which takes more time to build an audience.
d) Start the Money Rolling. You can built your own small niche website and run it on autopilot once it is up and ready. Many marketers are building many small niche websites and these website are generating income for them. It takes awhile to start up but once you get the idea, you will be seeing results.
You can built a niche website for just about anything. You can be passionate about a hobby and possibly turn it into a niche website. However, I have seen many failed attempt on niche website which may or may not hit the road running.
Basically, you need a good interest or knowledge on the topic or hobby if you want to build a niche website. It takes far greater than writing a blog and that’s it. It takes quite a few blogs and updating for you to go to an auto-pilot mode. So that’s why a niche selection is important when you find your profitable niche.
Some possible ways to find a niche. You may want to create a spreadsheet and list of your potential niches. To have a better approach, you may want to want to do the following.
a) Find a market or a niche within it. You know upfront that there’s an audience you want to reach and spent money on your solution.
b) Getting to understand their needs. Understand your prospect and their needs and match them to your list of potential niches.
c) Match a solution to our niche. Introduce a product to your niche to find a solution to your audience. Your ability to understand the wants and needs of a market will determine how well you can find niches within it to target your audience.
Before you get started on your niche website, you will need to know your competition. There are many niche websites nowadays and once you got your niche, you will need to know your competitors.
To be able to effectively operate in a competitive niche market, you will need to know the know-how and who you are up against. You may want to consider the following.
a) See what your ideal customer sees. Understand the offers they’re exposed to, the solutions/services they are offering.
b) On why your audience chooses to turn to you. How do you make your audience reach out to you with the competition? Keep that in mind and think of a solution.
c) Know and Understand the market. The better you know and understand the market, the better the chance you have to position yourself in a way that stands out from your competition.
d) Never Presume anything. This is important as I was taught by my mentor not to presume or assume anything. Learn the facts.
How to Get Started
Website building is your core in internet marketing. Depending on the niche you are focus on, it can create many possibilities the product you are promoting. In order to have a profitable niche website, you will need to work hard to build, fine tune and create information to your audience.
It will take time to do make your core strong and once you are able to do this, it will not be a profitable website, it will be an authority website. To build this, you will need your audience trust and once the bond is formed, you will have repeated traffic and your income will grow eventually. Trust me on this.
Learning the Strategies of Website Building
Strategies are important to create a successful niche website or campaign. With or without strategies, you may focus and reach on your goals. It only a matter of timing. There are a couple of strategies you may want to take a look and I can recommend you quite a handful.
My priority here is to let you understand how niche website works and how to find that profitable niche website.
So to conclude, the best strategy to succeed in internet marketing.
- To find a solution or answer for your audience which needs your help.
- Find a program that fits your niche and don’t sway from going to another niche. Stay focus.
- Keep on writing articles you are passionate about and that’s where you can improve. Put aside 2-3 hours a day or alternate days to write blogs or articles.
- Keep learning and you will hit the right note overtime. There are no shortcuts in internet marketing, you got to put in effort.
It doesn’t take a rocket science to built a profitable niche website. It is the effort and finding the right niche to get your niche website up and ready to roll.
Professional Website Builders will Help you
There are a couple of website builder that can help you to achieve this. You will need to invest a bit, not much but if you do not have the knowledge, you may want to start off on the right foot.
You may want to read my Review on Human Proof Designs or you can get started right away. So click below.

HSA Commercial Volunteers Spruce Up South Side Playground
Last week, volunteers from HSAwareness, the social outreach arm of HSA Commercial Real Estate, returned to Chicago Commons’ Paulo Freire Family Center in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood to help freshen up the playground for the upcoming school year. This marks the third consecutive year the HSAwareness team, led by HSA CEO Bob Smietana (right) and SVP Josephine Thomas-Hoytt (second from left), have assisted with the playground restoration.
The playground weathers the harsh Chicago winters every year. This time around, HSAwareness' team sanded and stained logs and a wooden patio canopy, and hauled and spread fresh mulch and wood chips throughout the playground.
HSA Commercial was named 2016 Corporate Partner of the Year by Chicago Commons, HSA’s long-term social outreach partner and a leading provider of early childhood education and senior care services in low-income Chicago neighborhoods.

The Importance of changing your HVAC filter & how often
Good Morning on this fine May 2nd, 2022. Yes, I know this is not the most exciting topic in the world, but it is an important one. Many of you may say that I change my filter regularly, every 3 months as the filter package says it will last. Can the filter last 3 months? Sure, it is possible for it to last 3 months in the right conditions, but for the majority of homes there are a lot of dust, pollen, pet hair, brought into the home. Not to mention the things released into the air while cooking which can help catch and build up even more debris on the filters.
The filter for your HVAC system is there to protect the equipment, not really there to protect you. The secondary action is it does help protect you from all these items listed as it filters them out of the air. The air filter when properly installed and maintained prevents the dust, pollen, grease/oils, dirt, pet dander, pet hair and many other things from reaching and building up on the evaporator coils of your HVAC system. Why is this important? The evaporator coils are where the air is cooled when running the A/C, or during the cold months on a Heat Pump it is where the air is warmed when the heat is running. If these coils become covered with dust, hair and other contaminants it prevents air flow through the coils, or at least slows the air flow down. This lowers the efficiency of your HVAC system. Making it work harder to pull in the air and also make it run longer to heat or cool your home. Please see the phots below showing the dirty evaporator coils.
It is best to change the air filter for your HVAC system every month for optimum performance of your HVAC system. This will make your system more efficient and help the fan motor last longer by reducing the strain on with free flow stream of air. The type of filter you use also has an impact on the system as well. Most HVAC contractors will tell you to use the cheapest form of filter you can find. That you don't need to use the higher filtration rated filters. For the most part I agree, but for personal reasons, I used a little more filtration than the ones they recommend. I do have bad allergies that cause me issue year round, but I only go up to a lower lever filtration level to help catch the pollen and such. Even that can and will add a little strain to the system. The higher filtration levels will require the filter to be changed more often due to clogging.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to reach out to me, but you can also reach out to your trusted HVAC contractor.

UPDATED 3:55 P.M.
“Smart meters” are now reality: At least two cabs in one major D.C. fleet now have the city-mandated, credit-card-ready systems installed and ready for the streets.
City officials showed off the new $35 million VeriFone system at a news conference this morning, and the rider interface will look familiar to anyone who’s taken a New York City taxi ride in the past decade: There’s a credit card reader and keypad, and an LCD display to show maps, weather, NBC-branded news clips and plenty of advertisements.
Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) tried out the system and emerged from the cab’s back seat brandishing what could be the most sea-changey of all the changes promised by the new system: A machine-printed receipt.
Yes, cabs have been equipped with receipt printers since the 2008 changeover from zones to meters, but in my experience, the bulk of drivers still peel off blank receipts from a pad and hand them to riders.
That, of course, facilitates what is likely one of the most wide-ranging business-expense-padding schemes in human history. (And, no, I have no personal experience with that.) But now every cab will be printing receipts at the demand of the rider, meaning the days of the blank slip could be dwindling quickly.
Now there are a few reasons you might not see a smart meter for weeks, if not months. First off, the meters are scarce for now. Only 150 will be provided for installation over the next two weeks, said city taxi czar Ron Linton. At the garage Gray & Co. visited today, home of the fleet run by taxi giant Jerry Schaeffer and son Jeff Schaeffer, they only have five systems currently ready for installation.
And then there’s all the legal and political machinations. Gray continued his war of words with D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8), whose disapproval resolution on the meter contract has complicated the rollout. But remember: It isn’t Barry’s resolution that matters, it’s the protests of the VeriFone award filed with the Contract Appeals Board. Those protests carry the small but real possibility that the VeriFone contract could be voided altogether, delaying the smart meter system for months.
Today, a representative of one of the protesters said it to file for a court injunction to stop the installations while the Contact Appeals Board makes its decision. George Lowe, a lobbyist for Creative Mobile Technologies, says his clients are moving “aggressively” to prevent any more meters from being installed.
The appeals board has said it will decide whether or not it will stop the installations by the end of next week; it is unclear whether a Superior Court judge will be willing to halt the process before that.
UPDATE, 3:30 P.M.: CMT lawyer A. Scott Bolden sends along the company’s court filings seeking to stop any further installations of VeriFone meters. He expects an emergency hearing to be held by Thursday.
UPDATE, 3:55 P.M.: Updated the post to reflect that all metered cabs should be able to print receipts, though few drivers seem to use them.

99T part 7 – more rust repair The 99 Turbo side panel rust repair is almost done. This weekend we almost finished fitting and repairing the left hand side. Some photos: The area around the rear shockabsorber mount was rotten. New inner fender. The left hand side panel was more rusty than the other side, and needed a little patching. Patches done. Some heat distortion on the panel. And the panel after straightening. The patch on the front section of the wheel arch done. Also the wheel arch upper edge needed a patch. Folding in the edge. Some shrinking needed. Hammer and dolly shrinking done. The shape came out pretty good. Wheel arch repair done. The shape of the arch is pretty good, some finessing needed. Test fitting the rear quarter panel. Pretty much ready for welding. I cleaned up the rear mudflaps. I decided to test this rubber paint on the lettering. Don’t know if it’s good or not – time will tell. Some rubber paint on the flap. They look pretty nice.

Four FCFC grad students receive NSF Fellowships
Congratulations to our four students who received National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships this month. NSF awarded 2,000 fellowships nationally to support high-potential, early-career scientists.
The graduate students include:
- T.J. Clark – Advisors Angie Luis and Mark Hebblewhite
- Amber Datta – Advisor Brian Chaffin
- Mariah McIntosh – Advisor Cara Nelson
- Kaitlin Perkins – Advisor Ben Colman
Launched in 1952 shortly after Congress established NSF, GRFP represents the nation's oldest continuous investment in the U.S. STEM workforce. GRFP provides three years of financial support within a five-year fellowship period — $34,000 annual stipend and $12,000 cost-of-education allowance to the graduate institution. That support is for graduate study that leads to a research-based master's or doctoral degree in a STEM field.
The new awardees were selected from more than 12,000 applicants and come from all 50 U.S. states, as well as the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. Honorable mention recognition went to 1,459 individuals.
T.J. Clark, PhD Fish & Wildlife Biology
T.J. is doing a study of predator-prey population dynamics is dominated by simplified mathematical models that focus on the relationship between a single predator and prey, exemplified by the Isle Royale wolf-moose system. However, few systems are this simple in nature. Most assemblages contain multiple predator and multiple prey species, and their inclusion may spur novel and complex predator-prey interactions. He is building mathematical models to represent multi-predator/prey population dynamics to understand what drives populations of large mammals and how to better manage them in the Rocky Mountain West.
T.J. completed his master's degree in Ecology and Environmental Biology at the University of Glasgow and undergrad degrees at Ohio Wesleyan University.
Amber Datta, M.S. Resource Conservation
Amber graduated from Pomona College in 2013 with a degree in Environmental Analysis and a focus in Biology. She spent 3 years working with the Michigan chapter of The Nature Conservancy on a collaborative coastal conservation project before joining the M.S. Resource Conservation program at the University of Montana. Amber took a degree option in International Conservation and Development and is advised by Dr. Brian Chaffin. Her thesis focuses on the governance of inshore fisheries in the Solomon Islands. She will graduate in May and will continue working on the management and governance of marine resources in Pacific Island Countries and Territories. Amber was born and raised in Hawaii and is driven to find ways to improve marine resource decision-making to address challenges facing local communities dealing with climate change.
Mariah McIntosh, M.S. Resource Conservation
Mariah graduated from the University of Montana in 2017 as a Davidson Honors College University Scholar, where she majored in Organismal Biology, Ecology, and Evolution and completed minors in Climate Change Studies and Wilderness Studies. Mariah’s long-term goal is to work at the intersection of science and problem solving, where she hopes to leverage cutting-edge, interdisciplinary ecosystem science to both better understand the natural world and contribute to science-based practice and policy.
Kaitlin Perkins, M.S. Systems Ecology
Kaitlin's research is focused on the ecological impacts of nanoparticle contaminants in the Upper Clark Fork River, Montana. More specifically, she is working to understand the movement of small particle pollutants on stream and river systems, which result from legacy mining and present-day agricultural practices. She studies how life at the base of the food chain, periphyton (more commonly known as rock scum), take up and release these contaminants. In addition to research in aquatic systems, She is also a trainee in the NSF UM BRIDGES program. They focus on topics in science communication, policy, and interdisciplinary research at the food-energy-water nexus.
Kaitlin is from Vancouver, Washington and attended Washington State University-Vancouver and majored in Biology and minored in Environmental Science and Mathematics, in addition to receiving a certificate in Quantitative Biology. She was an undergraduate researcher under Dr. Gretchen Rollwagen-Bollens and Dr. Stephen Bollens, who co-ran the Aquatic Ecology Lab at WSUV.

Bamboo Grove An Introduction to Sijo

The sijo is the most popular and most Korean of all traditional Korean poetic forms, originating with the old songs of the Hyangka of the Sylla Empire (668-936) and the prose songs of the Koryo Dynasty (918-1392). Sometimes likened to haiku for its brevity, a typical sijo poem follows a three-line pattern, with each line containing approximately fifteen syllables. The first two lines mimic one another both in form and content, but the last line often introduces a twist or countertheme, not only bringing the poem to a close, but sharpening the theme developed in the first two lines. The popularity of the sijo in Korea--writers range from royalty to common citizens--is always a challenge for the translator, who must often inhabit widely differing backgrounds to completely understand a poem's subtle nuances. Richard Rutt's translations, considered to be some of the best available in English, remain true to the unique structure of the original Korean lyric. The Bamboo Grove will interest not only poets and students of poetry, but scholars of Korean culture curious to view history through this important and significant form of verse. The white snow has left the valleys where the clouds are lowering, Is it true that somewhere the plum trees have happily blossomed? I stand here alone in the dusk and do not know where to go. YI SAEK (1328-1396) Richard Rutt is also the editor and translator of the book Virtuous Women: Three Classic Korean Novels and, most recently, The Zhou Yi: A New Translation with Commentary of the Book of Changes. David R. McCann is Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Literature and Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University.

How do Tattoos Work?
Originally Published: October 5, 1995 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: July 17, 2007
How do tattoos work? I mean, if human skin cells are always shedding and reproducing themselves, how are the pigments of a tattoo able to stay in the skin for so long?
The human skin is made up of two principal parts: the epidermis and the dermis. The outer, thinner epidermis consists of four or five cell layers. The inner dermis is made up of two portions: the upper, papillary region and the reticular region. Tattoos are made by inserting ink into the deepest layers (the dermis portion) of the skin, which shed cells at a much slower rate than layers closer to the surface. That is why tattoos can last a lifetime.
That is also why getting a tattoo may sometimes pose a health risk. Inserting needles deeply into the dermis layer can lead to a skin infection, or even a blood infection, if the tattoo parlor conditions are unsanitary. For more information on tattoos, call your state Department of Health for information about the legality and sanitary procedures for tattoos in your state. In

Skip to comments.Bilingual education idiocy in California
Posted on 06/07/2014 8:05:53 AM PDT by Kid Shelleen
---snip--- In 1998, after decades of failing such students, Californians voted to replace so-called bilingual education, which in practice taught children primarily in their native language, with English immersion programs. By all measures, the shift was a success. Not only did kids learn English more quickly, but their reading scores improved, as well, doubling in the first four years after bilingual-ed was banned. So why are California legislators now trying to reverse course and lift the ban?
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Why do they want to change this program? Because they want more Spanish only speakers; they don’t want immigrants to learn English??? Don’t know why there would be changes needed? If the program works, and we all agree that learning English is a goal for those born in other countries, why change it?
Now that I'm a seasoned citizen, and having been born in '48 .. just in time to REALLY enjoy the '60's .. I can imagine the enemy (who WAS in existence then .. I just didn't realize it, nor to what extent at that time) was apoplectic about all us middle class, educated white kids stickin' it to the man and the man's daughters.
They HAD to kill us off ... thus ... Viet Nam (a 'war' that never had a purpose, direction nor military intelligence behind tactics and mission) ... just genocide
That has ALWAYS been my opinion
Just a guess—when kids learn English, opportunities are opened to them. They can escape from being in a permanent underclass. That is a threat to totalitarian leftists who want as many people as possible to be mired in poverty, so that the leftists can amass power through false promises of a better life.
The young human brain is specifically wired to pick up new languages quickly and easily.That,as they say,is “settled science”.Bilingual education is,and always has been,nothing more than a full employment plan for teachers’ unions nationwide.
My grandson was in 1st grade at a school in Oregon that mandatorily taught half the day in English and half the day in Spanish. (he didn’t stay there long, fortunately; poor kid cried everyday)
I asked his teacher why she thought this was a good idea, her reply? “It gave her a job.”
“Just a guesswhen kids learn English, opportunities are opened to them. They can escape from being in a permanent underclass. That is a threat to totalitarian leftists who want as many people as possible to be mired in poverty, so that the leftists can amass power through false promises of a better life.”
That was exactly the response from the Mexican-American parents when asked why they voted to end bilingual education years ago: “We want our children to have better jobs than we have”. It was widely agreed at the time (and this is evident here in NJ now) that “bilingual education” produces students who speak both English and Spanish poorly.
“why not simply make spanglish the official language and be done with it???”
Because the bilingual education scam lets you put twice as many unionized teachers on the dole I mean payroll...
Learn English and become an American the right way by taking the test and leaning about America!
This is crazy. I have a niece who teaches there, and she said scores took off after they started all-English. BTW, guess who was most opposed to the bilingual nonsense? Spanish speaking parents.
They wanted their kids to learn English and get ahead in the US, not be trapped in the immigrant (Dem) ghetto.
“but of course... what WAS i thinking???”
Every white person that votes Democrat/supports liberals is financially benefiting from it; they either receive welfare, workfare, or have sexual relations with someone who does.
Lessons learned from living in NJ...
It’s not idiocy, it’s STRATEGY. The Democrats know that if they can prevent Hispanics from learning English (or at least from learning it well), they will ALWAYS be a dependent class...as they cannot fully assimilate, and that means large majorities voting for the handouts. And don’t be fooled, “Bilingual” is the code word for Spanish-only instruction.
But Hispanics that learn English well in this country also do very well. In fact they tend to have no need for “Hispanic Leaders” as they are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves.
This is different than with blacks. Blacks will always have their skin color and will always look at themselves as different, and as needing people to fight for them, even when they do succeed.
So the bottom line is that Democrats have the black vote pretty much locked-down, but Hispanics will drift off the plantation once they learn English. The DEMOCRATS understand this and that is why they’re doing all they can to prevent that from happening.
It’s that simple...again, it’s STRATEGY, not idiocy.
For generations kids from all over the world were taken by their parents to the nearest school——and just left there.
They learned English through immersion-—no pampering.
I taught 1st grade in the 50s and saw it first hand. It was amazing to me how quickly the kids became bi-lingual.They beacame translators for their parents.

DROPS KARISMA UNI COLOUR (50g)
NOTE: This pattern is written in American English. All measurements in charts are in cm. For conversion from cm to inch - click here.
There are different terms for crocheting in British and American English. If this pattern includes crochet, click for "crochet terms" here.
For this pattern in British English, please click here.
To avoid holes in the middle beg with this technique: Hold yarn end in the left hand and make a loop around left index finger (from left to right). Hold the loop with left thumb and index finger. Insert needle through loop, get yarn from ball and pull yarn back through loop, 1 YO (i.e get strand from the back and towards you) and pull YO through st on needle, * insert needle through loop, 1 YO, pull YO through loop, 1 YO and pull YO through outermost st on right needle (i.e. the last st made) *, repeat from *-* until there are 8-12-16 sts on needle. Distribute sts on 2 double pointed needles size 3.5 mm / US 4 as explained in pattern – AT THE SAME TIME pull the tail to tighten the circle and close the hole.
See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Work entire pattern in stockinette st.
Inc 1 st by making 1 YO. On next round work YO twisted to avoid holes. Work inc sts in A.1, i.e. first st in wine red, next st in light gray etc.
If the knitting gauge is incorrect in no of rows vertically on 10 cm / 4’’, it will affect the length of sock for the calculated inc. If you have more rows vertically on 10 cm / 4’’ work sock somewhat longer before beg inc. If you have fewer rows vertically on 10 cm / 4’’ work sock somewhat shorter before beg inc.
SHORT ROWS OVER HEEL:
Work back and forth according to diagram A.3.
ROW 1 (= RS): K until 1 st remains, turn piece.
ROW 2 (= WS): Slip first st as if to P, tighten yarn and P until 1 st remains, turn piece.
ROW 3 (= RS): Slip first st as if to K, tighten yarn and K until 2 sts remain, turn piece.
ROW 4 (= WS): Slip first st as if to P, tighten yarn and P until 2 sts remain, turn piece.
Continue short rows the same way until 13-15-17 sts remain in the middle of row. Insert 1 marker.
Continue back and forth but now work 1 st more for every row over heel. To avoid holes in the transitions, before last st pick up horizontal strand twisted on to needle (the strand that is picked up should be the same color as the st it will be worked tog with). Work strand tog with next st (from RS K strand and st tog and from WS P strand and st tog). Work like this until all heel sts have been worked.
Worked from the toe and up.
Beg with wine red and MAGIC CIRCLE – see explanation above = 8-12-16 sts divided on 2 double pointed needles (there should be 5-7-9 sts on first needle (= on top of foot) and 3-5-7 sts on second needle (= under foot). Insert 1 marker in 1st st at beg of round and 1 marker in the 5th-7th-9th st on first needle (= 2 markers). Then continue pattern in the round according to diagram A.1. Sts with markers should be in wine red. AT THE SAME TIME on 1st round inc 1 st on each side of both sts with markers – READ INCREASE TIP (= 4 sts inc). Repeat inc every round 5 more times (= 6 times in total), then every other round 4 times in total = 48-52-56 sts (i.e. 25-27-29 sts on top of foot and 23-25-27 sts under foot).
Work next round as follows: Work A.1 (= 2 sts), work pattern according to diagram A.2 (see markings for correct size = 21-23-25 sts), then work pattern according to diagram A.3 over the other 25-27-29 sts (i.e. stripes from toe continue under foot and markers are still in a wine red st in each side on top of foot).
When piece measures approx. 17-19-22 cm / 6¾”-7½”-8¾” from toe (approx. 5 cm / 2’’ remain until finished length measurements) – READ KNITTING TIP, inc 1 st before first marker and 1 st after second marker (i.e. towards the under side of sock) – READ INCREASE TIP (= 2 sts inc – work inc sts in A.3). Repeat inc every other round 7 more times (= 8 inc in total in each side) = 64-68-72 sts on needle (i.e. 25-27-29 sts on top of foot and 39-41-43 sts under foot).
Slip the 25-27-29 middle sts on top of foot + the 8 inc sts on each side of these on 1 stitch holder = 23-25-27 sts remain on needle for heel.
Then work SHORT ROWS OVER HEEL over these 23-25-27 sts – see explanation above.
After short rows over heel, continue A.3 back and forth over the 23-25-27 sts on heel - AT THE SAME TIME at the end of every row (both from RS and WS), work last st on needle tog with outermost st on stitch holder (from RS K the 2 sts twisted tog and from WS P the 2 sts tog). Continue back and forth like this until the 8 outermost sts in each side on stitch holder have been worked tog with outermost st on heel. Slip the other 25-27-29 sts from stitch holder back on needle = 48-52-56 sts on needle.
Work next round as follows: Work A.1 (= 2 sts), continue A.2 over the next 21-23-25 sts as before, work A.3 (= 2 sts), work A.4A over the next 22-24-26 sts AT THE SAME TIME in size 5/6½ inc 2 sts evenly over these sts and in size 9½/10½ dec 2 sts evenly over these sts so that pattern fits (there are no inc/dec in size 7½/9), finish round with A.4B (= 1 st) = 50-52-54 sts on needle. Continue pattern in the round.
When sock measures approx. 18-19-16 cm / 7”-7½”-6¼” from marker on heel (shorter measurements in the largest size because of longer foot) – finish pattern after round marked with arrow in diagram (choose arrow for correct size – pattern in A.2 will then end in a half or a whole flower), work 1 round with wine red over all sts. Work 1 round with light gray while AT THE SAME TIME inc 4-8-6 sts evenly = 54-60-60 sts.
Then work pattern according to diagram A.5 (= 9-10-10 repetitions on round). When A.5 has been worked 1 time vertically, switch to wine red. Work rib = K 1/P 1.
When rib measures 2 cm / 3/4’’, loosely bind off with K over K and P over P. Sock measures approx. 24-25-22 cm / 9½”-9 ¾”-8¾” vertically from marker on heel.
Knit another sock the same way.

I have thick, coarse, rather crazy hair. It’s not naturally curly, but it’s naturally weirdly wavy. And because there’s so much of it, if I do not flat iron it to within an inch of its life, my hair looks like a gigantic frizzball. We’re talking 80s kind of crazy hair here.
So, when I was given the chance to try Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Blow Dry Perfector, 2-Step Smoothing Kit, I was so excited. But, also, incredibly skeptical because nothing really works that well on my hair. Some things will tame it a little, but it still takes lots of time and effort on my part to not look like Medusa.
You have to shampoo your hair but NOT condition it(yikes, I was nervous about this- I need conditioner). Then, using the gloves that are provided, apply the 20-minute Smooth-it Serum, making sure to work it through your hair. For thick or resistant hair, they recommend leaving it in for 30 minutes, so that is what I did.
I was a little concerned about the smell. It’s not as strong as when you get a perm, but it is a little stinky. But, since this is a process that is supposed to last 7 shampoos, you have to expect something.
As I was rinsing it out of my hair, I was starting to get worried. Because my hair felt a little straw-like.
But, then, I put step 2 on my hair: the heat-activated perfect-it cream(you might not need all of this and can reuse it the next time you dry your hair). My hair felt nice and smooth.
This product is heat activated, so you do need to blow-dry your hair. If you decide you want to wear your hair natural, just let it air-dry.
I could not believe how smooth and straight and shiny my hair was. And I didn’t even have to flat iron it. I don’t usually get results this good from using my flat iron!
I have shampooed my hair 5 times since I tried this product and it is still working! I can feel the difference in my hair as I’m washing it.
It has made the time that it takes for me to do my hair a whole lot shorter. And stopped me from getting frustrated and just tossing my hair up into a bun because I didn’t have time to do my hair.
High praise from me: I will be buying this product soon and using it on a regular basis.
There are a few warnings, like you need to wait 2 weeks after applying permanent haircolor, bleach, highlights, or perms. It may not be as effective on hair that is extremely curly. Please check the package for additional precautions.
I received this product for free from BzzAgent. While they do expect that I would talk about their product, a blog post was not required, nor was a positive opinion. I just love it so much that I had to share!

Courage (the Dreughan Book 1) by Lena North
Date of Publication: August 8, 2016
Vilda lives in a muddy little corner of the world, in the time of the war that never ends. The war between the Waterfolk and the Dreughan. She is different where conformity is important, break rules in a world where punishments are given freely, and she pays for it. If it weren’t for her best friend Troy, she would have no one.
Then Vilda saves the life of a dragon and shortly after that, things are spiraling out of control. The Waterfolk attack, searching for an unclaimed girl, and Vilda has to escape through the night together with Troy and the only other girl the Waterfolk could be looking for – their former best friend, Susannah.
Soon, they find themselves in Dragoncourt, the stronghold of the Dreughan, where a prophecy predicts that the war will finally come to an end when the beautiful Dreughan prince has claimed another royal from the end of the world.
It seems as if Vilda is the girl in the prophecy, and she might be, but she also has a strong link to a young man with black hair and eyes as blue as the summer skies – the prince’s cousin, Drake…
About Lena North
Another way would be to use my imagination and then I would be a super powerful warrior woman, think Xena the warrior princess (though with less tacky clothes). Or when I think of it, maybe I’m actually more of a Hercule Poirot (sans the suit and moustache). Or maybe I’m like Aragorn, strong and cool and then I might get to meet Gandalf! Or I could be Bella’s pretty cousin and snap Jacob up in a second (yeah, I’m so not team Edward), or wait, maybe I could be like one of them heroines in historical novels who swoon all the time. I’ve always wanted to swoon…
Well, I guess you get how my mind is working (or not working, some say). Anyways, I like to write. Stories, adventures, romantic and happy stuff mixed up with sorrow and hardship, and bit of laughter here and there because the way I see it – life is way too short to go around feeling grumpy.

British Columbia Securities Commission Issues ICO Warning
On May 17, 2018, the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) issued an investor alert warning residents of the province to exercise “extreme caution” when considering whether to invest in cryptocurrency offerings and in particular, initial coin offerings (“ICOs)” and initial token offerings (“ITOs”).
Issued in response to a noted increase in the number of ICOs and ITOs, the BCSC alert warns that while some companies follow through on their promised business plans or ideas, some do not, and that some companies use ICOs and ITOs purely for speculative trading in the secondary market, an activity the BCSC brands as “inherently risky”.
ICOs and ITOs are issuances of cryptocurrency coins or tokens, often to raise capital or fund projects, but also used for other purposes, such as to represent units of utility or rights. As the BCSC alert notes, many of these coins and tokens are securities, and if so, they—and the ICOs and ITOs through which they are issued—are subject to securities laws and must be conducted in accordance with the regulations applicable to similar issuances of shares and other types of securities.
The BCSC maintains a searchable Investment Caution List to alert investors to unregistered securities activity and unqualified investments promoted in British Columbia and encourages the public to report these kinds of activities to the BCSC to improve the comprehensiveness and currency of the list.
In issuing this alert, the BCSC joins other regulators around the world that have raised alarm bells about ICOs and ITOs in an effort to encourage investors to carefully scrutinize cryptocurrency investments. While many regulators acknowledge that not all cryptocurrency coins and tokens are securities and that many ICOs and ITOs are legitimate (in fact, last October, the Ontario Securities Commission approved its first ICO in Ontario and the BCSC announced its first registration of an investment fund manager dedicated solely to cryptocurrency investments), the rapid rise of ICOs and ITOs has increased regulators’ concerns about bad actors and high-risk investments in the cryptocurrency space. Regulators have responded with increased efforts to educate investors about the potential dangers of cryptocurrency investments, such as the BCSC’s InvestRight website and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s HoweyCoins.com, a website designed to mimic a bogus coin offering to help investors spot a scam.

So as soon as I decided to write about LightTable, the developers go and improve a whole bunch of things. With the 0.2.3 release that happened earlier today the configuration of LightTable now works correctly.
This change is going to make it so much easier to use LightTable for demo’s and coding dojo’s. The has been an update to the default solarized light theme that looks very pretty to me.
All the settings now work correct and changes are applied straight away, you no longer have to open a new tab to see the changes. The changes are also applied to the Welcome screen too.
You can apply themes to LightTable in the same way as before
C-k set theme theme-name
You can also set if the themes should run on a light or dark skin of LightTable
C-k set skin light C-k set skin dark
Or you can even combine the above it seems, although I am not sure this works for all theme. It may just be for the solarized light theme.
set theme solarized light set theme solarized dark
If you had an earlier version of LightTable installed, I also recommend removing your local configuration directory
Another editor feature added in this release is
find, which as you would expect allows you to find a text string within your code.
A nice addition is the version command, which opens up another tab and shows you the version of LightTable you are running. You also get the change log so you can see what has been fixed and there is a button to check for updates.

Newshub has obtained a log of calls and text messages Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown made on the day New Zealand’s largest city experienced widespread flooding.
Brown’s leadership on the afternoon and evening of January 27 has been called into question, with criticism levelled at his communication during the disaster. He’s since apologised and ordered an independent investigation into the response.
But the Mayor also said, that despite not being visible for most of the day, he was in his office with officials focused on the response from around 4pm that afternoon.
A log of Brown’s calls, released under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act, show some of the people he was speaking with throughout the day.
He was in contact with Chief of Staff Max Hardy that morning at 9:17am as well as an unnamed individual at 9:33am. At 10:17am, he spoke with communications manager Mapihi Opai, who he was also on the phone with at 3:25pm and at 4:35pm and 4:43pm.
There’s also a text message to the chair of Auckland Council’s Civil Defence and Emergency Management Committee Councillor Sharon Stewart at 4:28pm, though the contents of the message aren’t included in the information so far released to Newshub.
Those phone calls and messages came as torrential rain poured down on the city in the afternoon and early evening, causing significant surface flooding and slips, and leading to authorities to warn motorists to avoid driving.
Over the coming hours, more severe weather alerts were issued for Auckland and images emerged of motorways flooded, suburbs across the city underwater, and torrents of water destroying bridges and other infrastructure.
At this stage, while Mayor Brown said he was in his office, there still hadn’t been any public communication from him. Auckland Emergency Management and Waka Kotahi were both providing updates in the afternoon and early evening, but then went silent until after 10pm.
Throughout the evening, the only person Mayor Brown spoke to by phone who is named in the log is Councillor Stewart at 7:12pm. There are also a number of “premium text service” logs with no name included.
At 7:32pm, Paul Amaral, the general manager of Auckland Emergency Management, emailed the Mayor templates of a state of emergency declaration. A finalised declaration was sent to Brown at 9:26pm, which he signed at 9:27pm. He later held a press conference.
There was criticism that state of emergency was declared too late, but Mayor Brown has said he signed it as soon as he was advised to by officials. He’s said he worked based on the “facts” of the situation. However, it’s also been reported the Mayor and his staff weren’t on an Emergency Management email list.
The log shows that just after midnight on January 28, he was texting Auckland Council chief executive Jim Stabback, Auckland Council director of governance Phil Wilson and Hardy. After 7am, he again texted Hardy and Opai.
RNZ reported on Wednesday that Brown’s diary only had one item in it on January 27, a Teams meeting at 7pm that his office said was a placeholder.
Newshub asked the Mayor’s Office on Thursday what activities or work he was doing on the evening of January 27, who he was with, whether he believed he undertook his duties adequately and specifically what the “premium text services” referred to.
“The actions and decisions of the mayor and Mayor’s Office on January 27th 2023 form part of an independent review currently being undertaken by former Police Commission Mike Bush CNZM,” the office’s response said.
“It would be inappropriate for the mayor to comment until the release of its findings.”
The review he ordered will report on the performance of the immediate official emergency response to the Auckland weather event of January 27-28 and identify any actions that need to be implemented immediately to ensure better preparation for the next event.

seven weeks to fully benefit as well maintain the healing process.
Xylitol-A, available in capsules, ointments, powders or tablets, $12/12 capsules
The first indication from a new research on Xylitol that it may help combat osteoporosis was to evaluate the results of ongoing Xylitol-A clinical trials 12 healthy volunteers who had chronic osteoporosis treated with both isothitinol XL and an oral dose of 1,600mg or placebo.
The small study at 12 weeks lasted for weeks. Six of the volunteers had persistent osteoporosis. Four showed no improvement and were not interested in stopping the use of Xylitol-A. Ten volunteers saw a benefit and continued using Xylitol-A for 18 weeks. When they were compared with the controls whose osteoporosis they had treated, there was a trend for stronger skin and hair responses. Three of eight participants showed significant improvements in weight and height (measured via a waist.cm2 growth chart), compared with controls. Twelve volunteers osteoporosis were also seen to have overall improvement (although of moderate quality). The results suggested that further follow-up studies of xylitol-A's effects after six months was warranted.
Expedition into the realm of clinical trials was launched for patients with osteoporosis who have been successful in taking xylitol-A for longer than 12 weeks, some of whom plasil dosage oral

What is SOAP?
SOAP is a lightweight, XML-based protocol that you can use to exchange information in a decentralized, distributed environment. You can use SOAP to query and return information and to invoke services across the Internet with SOAP messages.
Web Services Description Language(WSDL) is an XML-based language which allows a Web service to document the messages it receives and sends. In other words, what "actions" or "functions" the service performs in terms of the messages it receives and sends.
What are the types of information included in SOAP header?
The SOAP header is an optional section in the SOAP envelope, although some WSDL files require that a SOAP header is passed with each request. A SOAP header contains application-specific context information (for example, security or encryption information) that is associated with the SOAP request or response message. There is only one SOAP header section in a SOAP request. If the SOAP header element is present, it must be the first child element of the envelope element. SOAP headers can be input, output, or input and output, and you do not need to specify them in the WSDL file.
For example: SOAP Header which includes authentication information
What are the disadvantages of SOAP?
What is UDDI?
The Universal Description, Discovery & Integration (UDDI) specification defines a registry service for web services. A UDDI registry service manages information about service providers, service implementation & sservice metadata. One who wish to consumer web services provided by Service provider can use UDDI to discover services.
How a SOAP message is structured?
Each SOAP message must contain a SOAP envelope element. The SOAP envelope describes what is in the message and provides instructions about how to process it. The SOAP envelope has two child elements: a body (required) and a header (optional). All the elements must be declared in the namespace for the SOAP envelope.
What tools do you use to test your Web Services?
List of tools to use REST web services:
List of tools to use SOAP web services:
Can you send soap messages with attachments?
Yes, we can send soap messages with attachments using one of the following:
What are the advantages of SOAP?
What is a web service endpoint?
The endpoint is the URL where web service can be accessed by a client application. There can be multiple endpoints for the same service for different protocols.

Rename the town “Peckerwood”.1 It would be more fitting. Addition of the modifier “two-bit” is entirely optional.
Here’s the story. Local citizen walks into the Public Library, and notices that it is displaying a Christian nativity scene. He asks to meet with the library director to complain. This, of course, violates the God-given right of Christians to use state resources to trumpet their piety in the public square exclusively, so stark raving hysteria erupts. The director makes counter-accusations, lies to the local media, and suggests that the nasty little atheist ought not to use the library if he dislikes it. Other library employees post an exaggerated version of the incident to the web. Now the poor guy is worried about his safety and that of his family.
Let this be a lesson to you. If you are an atheist, you do not have a right to object to religion being thrust in your face. Sit down and shut up.2 Especially if you are living in a place like Peckerwood, Indiana.
1I’m not being original. I bet half the kids in that town already call it that.
2You know I’m being sarcastic. The real message is that you might as well stand up and holler louder — polite restraint gains you nothing at all.

In a new “Rise of the Empowered Consumer” report, WPP’s MediaCom advises using authenticity in messaging and employing a “device-neutral” strategy when trying to reach consumers who have more control than ever, thanks to technology.
MediaCom suggests capitalizing on social media and online conversation to engage in a “two-way dialogue honestly and promptly” with consumers. Still, the agency says while taking into account both positive and negative feedback about products or brands, “don’t promise things that you can’t deliver.”
That would seem to be a cautionary rule for social media managers at companies that run Twitter and Facebook pages and answer customer inquiries.
MediaCom also urges marketers to break away from channel planning and veer more into message planning.
“Too many brands are thinking too narrowly in their advertising and only using certain channels to reach certain audiences,” the agency wrote. “Think more about what kinds of messages -- audio, video, text or image -- you want to deliver rather than the channels you want to deliver them on.”
MediaCom also reminds advertisers not to forget to be circumspect and timely when delivering messages. Don’t “bombard” consumers -- take pains to target individually. The agency offers the rather intuitive example of how nonsensical it would be to pitch a new laptop to a consumer the week after purchase. Conversely, there could be potential in coupons or even contact from a customer service representative.
Consumers will be open about sharing data so long as they feel a marketer is respecting their willingness to share, and the exchange can benefit them, MediaCom says.
MediaCom emphasizes the importance of advertisers vigorously embracing the mobile platform. It suggests building a dedicated mobile site and trying to bounce consumers from traditional advertising to the more engaging mobile arena, such as placing a QR code on an ad.

Wrestled years ago when he lived in DE. Was my first time ever being a heel and I was clueless.....but I soon learned how flexible the human body was.....very impressive
Had a match in 2009 with this good wrestler (the dates here do not go back that far). He was tough and we both got a submission, but had to work for it. I remember he was strong and cocky. Smiled a lot as he cranked on the holds. Strong scissors!
Receommend him if you want to test your strength and skill.
I had a great match with Dave. We wrestled quite a while before the submissions began. Very strong legs and arms and i would wrestle him again. If he says he will be there he will. If you ever get the chance to wrestle him, don't pass it up, I highly recommend him.
This guy is a very enthusiastic wrestler. I don't know anyone who enjoys wrestling as much as he does. I've enjoyed wrestling him too and hope we get to do more.
Though he's now living in western NC, not MD, "Best" is still an apt name. We had a great match.
We went through a lot of exchanging messages before our match, and that turned out to be helpful. Paul was clear up front about what he wanted to do, and that made the match much more fun.
Paul was exceptionally generous in teaching this novice new skills. Because I have relatively strong legs from biking, he taught me scissors holds, even though I immediately put them to use on him. Although a very knowledgeable and experienced wrestler, he was also willing to try new things.
In addition to the wrestling, Paul was a remarkably interesting and fun guy. He has a photography background, so he offered to help me with new profile and gallery photos, which was much appreciated.
I recommend Paul most highly. If you get a chance to wrestle him, grab it. Now that he is getting a ring at his home in the NC mountains, I very much look forward to having the opportunity of a re-match up there.
I really enjoyed this match. Smoothfitatl bikes 20 miles everyday and it really shows in his thighs. He Introduced me to CBT and took it slow and built up and up until I couldn't take anymore, then it was my turn. I am astonished at what this guy can handle. The more I made it hurt the more he liked it. For the first time I really enjoyed being a heel and can't wait to do it again.
I highly recommend smoothfitatl. He Is in VERY good shape and a very nice person on and off the mat. Very intelligent too and surprised me by learning some holds via email and me taking him through some holds step by step. Then I planned on showing him the holds in person but he just applied the holds on me with no hesitation as if he had been wrestling for years..
This guy has the best legs. His thighs to die for. I really can't say enough good things about this guy. He is all muscle and very little body fat. if any.
We will be wrestling again for sure.
We first met many years ago and have recently renewed our acquaintance..MD"s Best is unbelievably durable and able to withstand copious punishment and still ask for more.BUT he is now threatening to return the favor in our next meet(and he does have VERY strong legs)! There is no one more dangerous than a jobber turned heel! He is FUN!

I LOVE this coffee machine! It genuinely makes me happy each day when I get my perfect frothy cup of coffee. I look forward to it as a real treat.
I bought this a year ago and I can honestly say that I still think it's fantastic and I have not had a coffee machine before that I have still really loved using after that time. I have tried a few really excellent quality machines but they have all been quite a lot of hassle dealing with ground coffee and cleaning the machine, so I decided to try a capsule machine.
A friend had this machine and I always enjoyed her coffee so thought I would try it. I was a bit concerned that it was a little bit pricy as you can only order the capsules directly from Nespresso. you can buy cheaper fake versions of the capsules but why bother when the taste is so good with the originals and the cost is only about 30p per cup which is really good when you are essentially getting a coffee shop cup of coffee.
The milk frother is amazing. It can also do just warm, non frothy milk and cold frothy milk. The capsules come in a variety of flavours including some specialities like chocolate mint or vanilla. They also do decaf, but their main coffees are fantastic. I especially like the lungo coffees which are more like cappuccinos than espressos.
The helpline where you order the coffees is also great and you can recycle the capsules. The orders comes really quickly.
The machines needs very little maintenance and the few parts that need washing can be done every so often with ease. the milk frother needs washing after each use.
I genuinely think this is the best coffee maker around and all my friends love coming round to mine for coffee as its so tasty!!
We bought the Magimix Nespresso machine in January, after looking at lots of different brands and models. The sleek, retro-style appearance and vast array of coffee options steered us towards this one, and we haven't been disappointed. The cream and chrome design fits perfectly with our colour scheme (although other colour options are available). I drink decaffeinated coffee, but also like my coffee strong, and the newest of the decaff options, Decaffeinato Intenso is one of the best I have tasted. The information booklet included with the machine is really useful, and the different strength options mean everyone can have the coffee they prefer. We use this machine every day.
The machine is really easy to use and clean, and the Aerocccino makes lovely frothy milk in a couple of minutes.
We're fortunate to live in a city with a Nespresso Boutique (well worth a visit if you have the chance, as you get the opportunity to try the different coffees), but I've also ordered online and received my package within a few days.
Overall, looks good, tastes good, and, unlike other appliances we've bought in the past, will never be pushed into a cupboard and forgotten about!
I bought the Nespresso Magimix for my husband's birthday in January. For him, because he is a coffee lover, for me because it looks pretty on my countertop. I have to say we were not disappointed on either front. I opted for the black and chrome model, it was smaller than I expect, but this was a plus, as it fits neatly between the hob and the microwave and doesn't take up essential counter space. It came with a selection of coffee pods (16 I think) and a guide to all the different flavours (this is really nicely presented as a spiral bound booklet). It also came with an 80 euro voucher for pods from the Nespresso site. The machine itself is very straight forward. The Aerochino makes enough frothy milk for 2 small cappuccinos, but heats really quickly so there is not much delay if you are making several cups at once. The selection of coffee is really good and includes 2 different decaf options. I've never had decaf which tasted like real coffee before, but these tasted so good I had to double check. The only drawback is the availability of the pods. Where I live, you need to order online or drive to the nearest city to stock up. With the online service we waited nearly 2 weeks for delivery, but this may just be a one off issue. All in all, a really nice dainty coffee maker which makes really good coffee quickly.
Coffee is one thing i never compromise upon and these days i am very much addicted to the coffee made by my Magimix Nespresso citiZ M190 that any other coffee doesn't appear so tasty to me. So this is the best thing about this coffee maker. The taste is too good. Everything is automatic. You just have to specify how many cups or what quantity is require and the coffee will be ready in no time. It is so helpful that i don't have to worry about what to give to my guests and trust me they all love my coffee(my machine's coffee ;)) It is also environmental friendly compared to other coffee makers (so i don't have to worry about drinking it) I am one forgetful person and leave my machines running sometimes. This machine comes handy to me as it switches off its power after 30 mins so if you are someone like me, don't worry, the machine will take care(so less power) .Also the coffee is always hot (thanks to the machine) .One drawback is that it does't look so stylish. So if the model minds a lot to you, then you might have to think before purchasing it.
This is a great coffee machine which is easy to use, produces high quality cups of coffee and looks good on your work surface without being overly cumbersome. It takes about 20-30 seconds to get warmed up when you first turn it on and then it is good to go. The coffee is served hot but not scalding and you can set the level of liquid you want it to dispense for an espresso and a lungo measure, meaning you can tailor it to your particular coffee cups which is quite nice. Another pleasing feature is the ease with which the machine can be cleaned and emptied.
Unfortunately after a few months of use the incorporated crema device stopped working and we had to buy a separate one. If I was buying again I would still go with the magimix but opt for the smaller and cheaper model without the integral milk frother.
The machine costs around £199 (as per the Nespresso website at September 2013) and the capsules that go in the machine work out to around 30p each, depending on the variety - online ordering is easy but has to be done in multiples of 50, or you can buy in Nespresso stores or Selfridges. The machine is available in black or white - I have the white model which is really more of a cream colour and looks really nice - the white part has a shiny finish to it which sets the design off nicely.
We treated ourselves to one of these machines at Christmas with a degree of trepidation. Earlier forays into the world of the coffee-maker have usually ended with disappointment at the sheer inconvenience of the procedure. But not in this case.
The Magimix Nespresso machine is in daily use and, even if you're not keen on drinking coffee, the aroma as it operates is almost worth the price alone! It looks very smart on the worktop. Ours is black but other colours are available to match your colour schemes. The chrome finish looks smart and is easy to keep sparking clean with the occasional wipe.
Nespresso has a bewildering array of coffee flavours and strengths available - colour coded capsules will help you to remember what's what- all you have to do is make your selection, snap one of the little capsules into the top of the machine and press one of the two buttons (one for a longer cup, another for a smaller espresso type. If you're having a smaller cup, there's a little stand you can flip down to hold an espresso cup, which might save some splashing.
Meanwhile the milk warmer is whirring away heating up and frothing the whitener to your taste. It comes with two "whizzers" - one to really froth up the milk for your capuccino, the other to just give it a gentle whisk. The choice is yours.
Stronger, longer, normal or decaf - the choice is yours. One reservation might be that the coffee doesn't come out piping hot. You can improve the situation by warming the cup and a friend suggested filling the reservoir with warm (not too hot) water beforehand. It's fast enough to enable you to make individual cups of coffee at dinner parties and then everyone can have their coffee to their own particular taste.
It has been said that the machine is rather noisy but you could alleviate this by placing it on a cork mat or similar. I personally find that the sound of the Nespresso machine at work draws people into the kitchen from far and wide. You do need to be a little careful when washing up the milk heater. It is an electrical appliance so of course you can't immerse it in water to clean it. On the plus side, the inside is Teflon coated so the milk doesn't stick to it too badly at all.
Keeping the whole thing clean is simple and, as long as you remember to empty the used pod container from time to time it's a breeze. A quick rinse of the container and inner drip tray is all that's needed and there's a catch tray to take care of any drips under the cup stand.
I know of at least two guests who have been so impressed with our Magimix Nespresso machine that they have gone out and bought one for themselves. This is definitely a good thing as we are assured of decent coffee when we visit them now.

When he arrived in England, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp sought to set himself apart from Arsene Wenger by saying the Arsenal man likes to conduct symphonies while Klopp himself is more into heavy metal football. According to defender Kolo Toure, though, there might just be a few similarities between the two managers to be found, too.
"The training we do under Jürgen is very similar to Arsene," Toure said ahead of the two sides meeting up for a mid-week Premier League clash. "They have the same approach to games in terms of the speed of the game, the togetherness—their teams move together with a lot of passing. Technically they like to have good players on the ball and the intensity of both their teams is amazing."
With Liverpool suffering a defensive injury crisis, Toure is a lock to face off against his old boss at Anfield. The visiting gunners will rightly be favourites, arriving as they do as league leaders, but Liverpool have thrived against top opposition in the early days of Klopp’s Liverpool career and many will be hoping that trend can continue as the Reds seek to close the gap on the top four.
Currently stood eighth, Liverpool are six points back of Tottenham. At this stage of the season, it’s a bigger gap then perhaps it looks at first glance—if Spurs continue to earn 1.8 points per game, Liverpool would need 2.1 the rest of the way to catch up, more than half a point better than the 1.5 points per game they have taken so far. Toure, though, is convinced that there’s still a chance.
"There is still a long way to go in the season, still plenty of games for every team, and with having games every two or three days things can change," he said. "Liverpool and Arsenal have always produced great games in the Premier League and, for us, we just want to win. For sure, with what we have shown against City and Chelsea this season, I think they will come with caution."

And what can I say about fickle Democratic voters? Florida's 13th District. Population 694,899, ONLY 165,000+ GREAT AMERICANS VOTED. Those other lazy apathetic #~*'n idiots should lose face unless they VOTE! LMAO Organizers need to publicly shame apathy before November!
Local Democratic Party volunteers were afraid to go into poor & minority neighborhoods for voter registration drives because of hostility. (want a hood tour, lol?) The Democratic Party MUST pay for hardened Community Organizers who have NO FEAR of going into bad neighborhoods to get POOR PEOPLE involved. (what ACORN tried to do, duuhhh, lol)
I was just an observer or what LAW enforcement calls an “outsider”. I spent a few days with hardy group of young people going door to door in East St. Petersburg trying voter registration. What I found is race didn’t matter, it was POOR PEOPLE who DON’T VOTE! Conclusion: POOR PEOPLE don’t vote so they don’t get represented, allowing GOP Social Darwinists to “thin the herd”
I saw with my own eyes, volunteers got threatened simply because they interrupted some idiots Jerry Springer TV repeat. There was no race creed or color it was simply these scrubs didn’t have any content or character. Ok, poor people, I’m putting you on notice. You mofos don’t get out to vote in 2014 and I swear I’ll help the Republicans take away your welfare food stamps, beer, cigarettes AND cable TV.
Who needs the silver spoon stars wasting precious broadcast airtime time with fluff, feathering their own nests and plagiarizing people like us? I’ve already got all the information I need to know who the enemy is. What I need is someone to tell US the time and place for Revolution/Class War.
If Liberal spokes stars want to make their living off of concerned citizens on the LEFT, they need to contribute to the cause BEYOND their shows. Fund raisers for the volunteer boat-rockers in the trenches doing ALL the fuck’n work or bring their celebrity for petition or voter registration drives, etc.

Bernard William Griffin (1899–1956) was an English Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Westminster from 1943 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1946 by Pope Pius XII.
They were a devoted family and were under the watchful eye of their parish priest. One day, both twins went to confession. When they came out the brothers found that Father O’Hagan had asked them both the same question; ‘What are you going to be?’. They had both answered, ‘I want to be a priest’. Both boys were clever and won scholarships to the local grammar school but Bernard’s desire to be a priest led him to transfer to Cotton College in Staffordshire.
When the First World War broke out in 1914 both Bernard and Basil joined the Royal Naval Air Service, with whom Bernard served as an air-raid warden. During this time he suffered a heart attack but concealed it from physicians in order to avoid a discharge which he feared would prevent his acceptance for the priesthood.
After the war Bernard went to Oscott College in Birmingham to train to be a priest. Ordained to the priesthood on 1 November 1924, he finished his studies at the Venerable English College in Rome in 1927. Griffin then worked as private secretary to John McIntyre, the Archbishop of Birmingham, until 1937. From 1929 to 1938, he served as diocesan chancellor of Birmingham, director of studies of the Catholic Evidence Guild, Catholic representative on the BBC's religious advisory committee, and administrator of diocesan charitable homes.
On 26 May 1938, Griffin was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Birmingham and Titular Bishop of Appia. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 30 June from Thomas Williams (Archbishop of Birmingham), with John Barrett, Bishop of Plymouth, and William Lee (Bishop of Clifton), serving as co-consecrators, in the Cathedral of Saint Chad, Birmingham. Pius XII raised Griffin to Archbishop of Westminster, and thus ranking prelate in the Catholic Church in England and Wales, on 18 December 1943. At his installation mass in Westminster Cathedral, he defended the sanctity of marriage.
Griffin was created Cardinal-Priest of Ss. Andrea e Gregorio al Monte Celio by Pius XII in the consistory of 18 February 1946. At age 46, he was the youngest cardinal to be appointed at the ceremony, to which he wore the tailored cappa magna of his deceased predecessor cardinal, Arthur Hinsley. He acted as papal legate to the centennial celebration of the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England in 1950.
As Cardinal, Griffin took a keen interest in the rebuilding of post-war Britain arguing especially for the provision of Catholic schools. He was seen by some as liberal in areas of social principles. He also supported Sir William Beveridge.
His coat of arms is blazoned 'Gules issuant from a barrulet enarched in base a sweet william plant in pale Or supported by a Saint Bernard dog dexter and a griffin wings addorsed sinister Or', thus representing his full name.

Bennett's Sultana Cake
This recipe is taken from
an oral recount of my wife's Mum's Mum - a madeira/genoa-like butter cake with
tons of plump sultanas.
The flavour is enhanced
by the boiled sultanas - the boiling seems to get rid of some of the sweetness
and plumps up the fruit making it even yummier. You can boil the sultanas in
Earl Grey Tea for an even yummier taste sensation (Gran would disapprove of
this variation - in this instance she would have been wrong tho).
I don't usually like fruit
cake - this one is nice though.
Ingredients are in imperial
measures as Grandma Bennett never could get the hang of kilomotors and centi-doodads
- 1 lb of Sultanas
- 8 oz Butter at room temp
(margarine will do, but is not as nice)
- 1 ½ cups Sugar
(or less if you are worried about this)
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 3 Eggs
- 2 ½ cups Plain
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- pinch salt
- Cover sultanas with water
in saucepan and boil gently for 5 minutes, drain and cool.
- In a large bowl, cream
butter and sugar with the vanilla, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well
in between each addition.
- Mix the flour, Baking
Powder and salt into the sultanas and then add this to the butter-egg mixture,
mixing until combined.
- Place batter into a greased,
floured and papered tin (8 inch square or 2 loaf tins)
- Bake in a moderate oven
for 30 minutes and then a slow oven for 1 hour. Leave in tin until it is cold (this helps it stay moist).
- Eat and enjoy
- Glace Cherries could
also be added to this cake for extra twang but is is really nice with a cup
of tea after a long day.

Imagine the courage it takes to pick up the phone, call a total stranger and admit that you don't have enough food to feed your family.
At our office this happens dozens of times per day, and it is what drives us. Hunger hits every zip code and chances are strong that you know someone who faces or has faced hunger, even if they have never voiced their struggle. For more than two decades we have fought hunger in the Greater Philadelphia region with one guiding principle. Hunger is preventable.
Our Mission: Founded in 1996, the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger strives to build a community where all people have the food they need to lead healthy lives. The Coalition connects people with food assistance programs and nutrition education; provides resources to a network of food pantries; and educates the public and policymakers about responsible solutions that prevent people from going hungry.
We fight hunger through a three-pronged approach:
1. Immediate Relief: We connect people in need to food pantries and soup kitchens in their neighborhood, often able to find an option that will provide food that very day.
2. Short-Term Relief: We help people apply and obtain SNAP (food stamp) benefits through our SNAP Hotline.
3. Long-Term Relief: We advocate on behalf of those who face food insecurity to ensure that they have a voice in shaping responsible solutions to hunger in both local and national policy recommendations.

The Healing Power of Gratitude, by MJ Lockett.
Sitting here I become aware of that continual demanding never ending “To Do list” and I feel swamped. How does life become so busy and so complicated? I am sure I am not alone in this feeling and the demand to achieve more can make people feel very stressed. But I stop and just take a quiet moment, a slow cool breath and connect with what is going on around me. I see the wind swaying the vibrant deep conifer that is home to sparrows, pigeons, blue tits and song thrushes. One little sparrow rests delicately on the edge of the branch and holds his tiny contribution to their nest, it looks like the black dog hair that I allowed the wind to blow when I was grooming my dog. Its seems the ultimate recycling and I notice my heart lift into a lighter feeling.
In the moment, I hear the harmonious chirping of the blackbirds that also call our guttering home and I begin to feel peaceful. By taking that conscious breath I know that I have plugged into the vibration of gratitude rather than tension and my whole body and being thanks me for this shift.
For many years, my gratitude journal has been a potent form of recognition for all the blessings in my day and has literally the power to turn your mood around if you truly engage with its therapeutic value. It’s so much easier to hold onto the irritations of the day, to catalogue the things that are hard or painful. Whilst these feelings are true and do deserve your attention it’s also instinctive to remember what is wrong rather than what is going right. When I list 10 to 20 things I am grateful for at the end of the day my mind searches back through day and instantly clicks when it forgot that parking at work was easy, my child gave me a big squeeze, my pillow in my bed is perfect, the sound of my dog woofing in his sleep or that I was shown kindness by a stranger in a small way.
Just like a bad mood often brings more grievances, anger or frustration we can enhance what we feel depending on what our focus in on. This is not to say that positive feelings are any better than others everything has its importance and value. But more importantly gratitude gives an instant connection to ourselves which can be forgotten by day to day stresses.
Like all actions what we intend to connect with gets enhanced by our openness and desire to look deeper. So even if you have been practicing a gratitude journal for years we can still meet the blessings with a freshness like discovery of treasure. Like all tools of self-discovery, you can only judge what it’s like for you to try and see. But I imagine that if you continue for a month you will see more joy in your day, you may smile more, you may be that person who helps someone without thinking “Is this convenient for me?”
But such a simple practice, that costs no money can bring immeasurable peace and happiness to your life. This beautifully then has the ripple effect to your family, your friends, work colleagues, and the community. Perhaps even a positive effect on our environment and people who live on another continent. Who knows? But certainly, we know what it feels like to be loved, appreciated and blessed. And, how painful it can be on the other end of the spectrum.
So, grab a little notebook, sharpen your pencil (yes I am suggesting it’s done on paper not a phone or laptop) and enjoy searching through your day for small things that made your spirit smile. I hope you enjoy discovering them each day.

A national organisation is calling for volunteers to help with their charity event.
Oxfam New Zealand's Oxfam Trailwalker event is making its debut in the Taranaki region next year and events, operations, and logistics executive Natasha Payne says the team are looking for volunteers.
"We're looking for trail marshals to support the walkers along their journey, people to help at the start and finish lines and other logistic type roles. For those who can't help on the day, they can still be involved by helping with putting up posters around town before the event. We're needing 100 more volunteers."
The event raises money to help those suffering from poverty by supporting projects around the globe.
AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.
She says the event can't run without the 'fantastic' support from volunteers.
"They allow our event to happen so we can continue to raise money for a great cause."
Natasha says volunteering is a great way to be involved with the event.
"For those not ready to take part in the walking side of things, volunteering is an excellent way to be a part of Oxfam Trailwalker. It's a great opportunity to support over a thousand participants achieve their fitness goals and cross the finish line, and work behind the scenes of a large-scale event."
Natasha is 'pleased' with the level of support she's received.
"We've had a lot of enthusiasm from volunteers which has been wonderful. All the help is really appreciated. I've noticed the Taranaki community are interested with supporting outdoor events like this."
■ The Oxfam Trailwalker takes place March 20-21, 2021. To register interest about being a volunteer, email firstname.lastname@example.org

If you thought you could wait until the last minute and then sign up for Trai Cartwright's screenwriting class, too bad. That class filled up in a hurry.
There's lots more going on with Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, so peruse this list, follow the link if something looks interesting, and join others looking to learn and make contact (eye or virtual) with their fellow writers.
First, there's the online class that starts tomorrow. "Writing Meaningful and Memorable Sex Scenes" is presented by Katriena Knights. The two-week course starts Monday, March 3rd, and ends on Sunday, March 16th. Cost is $25 for members and $30 for non-members.
"There’s no question about it: sex sells, and the current romance market is thriving on more explicit content than ever before in the history of the genre. However, readers are discerning, and even the most daring content will fall flat if it isn’t integrated into the story on an emotional level and on a story level."
Katriena's class is not focused on romantic novel sex or erotica. It's all about the right use of sex scenes in all genres. Don't be shy. You know you want to put a sex scene in your next book. Learn how and when it's appropriate and not gratuitous. For more information about the class, visit the RMFW website. And if you want to pass information and go straight to registration, you can do that too.

"Do you need an agent in order to get published? What will an agent do for you? What can’t an agent do? How do you find a good agent? Do you really need an agent in today’s publishing world? Award-winning author Cindi Myers discusses the myths and realities of dealing with agents, how to find the best agent, and how you can get published without an agent.

|Reviews for The Heat is On|
| thephoenixandthedragon4ever chapter 1 . 5/27/2015
Really liked this story. I truly enjoy the pairing
| BrennaCullen chapter 1 . 5/6/2004
Hey, It's Risma here (I know weird nickname but it's mine) anyway... I think that your story is really awesome... I can't wait to read more from you
| heartnut chapter 1 . 1/16/2004
This storyline is appalling. It's very unbelieveable, and shows that you wrote it over a period of a day. If you need help with this kind of thing, you need to join WIKTT and ask one of the writers to be your editor/beta-reader. Trust me, I know how hard it is to write when you're starting out, and that it can be frustrating when you thought your story was a great idea, but it turns out it isn't even readable or understandable.
It's really easy to tell that you haven't done research enough into the characters of Hermione and Snape to make the characters believable. That's the hardest thing to do, but if you don't do it, then your story will fail every time.
Things you need to work on with your editor: grammar, spelling, plot continuity, characterizations, plot believability.
| MoonAssassin chapter 1 . 1/15/2004
Hey great fic! LUV IT! you need to make a sequel
| Dahlia chapter 1 . 1/15/2004
Okay. First off, your grammar is...appalling. Colons, semi-colons, commas and periods are your friends, but only if you know how to use them properly. Read as many novels as you can - it'll help, believe me. If English is not your first language, then I apologise for being so harsh...I'm a grammar Nazi, and I tend to foam at the mouth when faced with bad punctuation.
Second, characterisation. There is none. And this is just at the beginning of the story. All the characters are flat, completely 2-dimensional, and painfully American. And why did Hermione, out of the blue, suddenly think Snape was handsome? He's not, actually. He's a generally ugly, mean, sadistic bastard, which is WHY we love him.
Third, plot. Because I find this story painful, and because I think you honestly need some truthful feedback, this may take a while.
-Again with Hermione's sudden lust for Snape. Not believable, and cheap way out of actually building a relationship.
-Why are there only the major canon characters in Advanced Potions? Surely there'd be some Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, at the very least, not to mention a few more assorted Slytherins. They adore Snape, remember?
-Why is Hermione the only female animagus in years? What's the reason for it? I'd think a lot of people would be interested in trying it out.
-'Nov.' is not a word. 'November', however, is.
-Again, punctuation is your friend. Run-on sentences are not. They make the reader's eyes bleed. Profusely. All over the keyboard. And since the reader's eyes are bleeding, they are unable to find the tissues, because they are blinded by blood.
-Okay, you've explained Hermione & Snape worked together, so perhaps that could be an explanation as to why she began to be attracted to him. But that explanation should go at the beginning of the story, as background into for readers. I get the feeling you just stuck that bit in as you were writing, to justify their closeness, and use of eachother's first names, which brings me to...
-Snape is still a professor, and Hermione still a student. While they are in school, I'm pretty certain she would address him as either 'Professor' or 'Sir', and he would call her 'Miss Granger', regardless of a previous working relationshp. Yes, the first name basis can be in private, but they could easily be overheard in the library. A bit too forced to be believable.
-Snape's being awfully friendly. This is Snape, remember. Even if he has friends, he's probably not very nice to him, since he's a Snarky Bastard. It's what he does. He is Not Nice. Work on characterisation. If you wanted a nice, approachable prof, you should have written a Lupin/Hermione fic...would've made more sense with the wolf thing and all.
-And when did Snape become charming, especially with McGonagall? Whenever we've seen them interacting in the books, they're either competing, bickering, or baiting each other.
-Um...I'm no expert, but I don't think that when female animals go into heat, they actually get hot. And the only time human women experience hot flashes are when they're going through menopause.
-It's spelt "Fawkes", not "Faukes"
-Snape and a painting changing. Huh? I presume it's something to do with Snape keeping an eye on Hermione, and charming a painting to represent her, so he could see what she's doing...but you forgot to explain that bit before.
-When a person is an animagus, it's an all or nothing deal. So how could Hermione's eyes be silver in human form? For that matter, wolves generally have golden eyes, not silver.
-In general, it seems like a pretty big stretch to believe that an animagus' animal form could influence their human form that much, especially in regards heat and mating. I can't see it striking many mature readers as believable.
-Animals don't HAVE to mate when in heat. It's not like they die, or suffer severe pain. So even if Hermione was in heat, she wouldn't have to mate. She'd be bitchy (excuse the pun) and horny for a week or two, then she'd get over it.
-Erm, they're both silver wolves? That's...cheesy. Very very cheesy. And almost sickeningly romantic. As in I'd-kill-myself-but-my-eyes-are-bleeding-too-much-to-find-a-point-object-sickening.
-Wolves don't pin eachother. Have you heard of the expression 'doggy-style'? Think about it. A male wolf will mount the female from behind, penetrate her, thrust and jiggle till he ejaculates, and then, provided he doesn't get his ball-lump-thingy on his penis (so other wolves can't mount the female afterwards...evolutionary thingy) stuck inside the female, that'll be it.
-Snape calls Hermione 'love' after boinking her? And they're declaring their undying love for eachother? All of a sudden, sexlove. This is news to me. And by the way, EW! She's a student, under his tutilage and, to some degree, power and control. That's very, very unsettling and icky.
-Why do they only have one bite mark each? Some twisted symbolism? That strikes me as odd and, again, cheesy and overly romantic.
...All in all...nothing. Nothing redeeming. The spelling is terrible. The grammar is terrible. The characterisations are atrocious. The plot is painful. Yes, I'm being harsh, and I don't know anything about you. I get the impression English is not your first language, and that you're probably pretty young. That's okay. My suggestion to you is to read more, live more, and before you write anything, anything you want to be taken seriously, research, research, research. Yes, this is pretty much a not-nice review. I'd be pretty unhappy if I got it. But, I've been trying to tell you exaclty what you've done wrong, and what you need to work on to correct it. I'm truly sorry if it came across as harsh, but I'm hoping you can perhaps take it in, learn something, and become a better writer.

At a time when many of us feel like we have very little control with our government in Washington, it is important that we vote in our local elections. At this level of government, we can have control and can select excellent people for office. In this view, may I suggest that you consider Chuck Hoffman for Town Justice? Chuck, a long time resident, is a wonderful neighbor. During the several floods on the river, Chuck was there for his neighbors. I have on occasion done business with Chuck, and he is a kind and honest person. Chuck Hoffman has the education and the right qualities to represent us in local government.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — There’s nothing wrong with President Barack Obama going to Boston to give a speech defending his health-care reform.
Giving speeches is what he does best and Obamacare certainly needs some defending after its badly botched launch.
A Boston Herald opinion writer even called it a “political masterstroke” for the president to go to Faneuil Hall, where former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney signed the original model for Obamacare seven years ago.
And Obama stoutly defended the federal health-care reform, listing its benefits: “Better protections for Americans with insurance; a new marketplace for Americans without insurance; new tax credits to help folks afford it; more choice, more competition; real health-care security not just for the uninsured or underinsured, but for all of us.”
The Boston Red Sox even played along and won the World Series in Game Six to cap the day’s events.
But at the same time, the president’s speech in Boston put on display everything that is wrong with this administration.
It is an administration that puts political theater ahead of politics; puts campaigning ahead of governing; and spends far too much time defending policies after the fact instead of explaining them and managing expectations ahead of time.
A telling moment came in the Boston speech when two young protesters heckled the president about the Keystone XL pipeline, calling out clearly in unison, “Mr. President, reject Keystone XL! Stop climate change! For our generation, stop the pipeline!”
• What the decline of a superpower looks like
• Clinton needs to reinvent herself for 2016
• Damage from EU austerity will last decades
The crowd sympathetic to the president started to boo the protesters, even as security escorted them out of the hall.
But Obama graciously stopped the booing, flashing his campaign smile. “We’re talking about health care today,” he said. “That is the wrong rally. We had the climate change rally back in the summer.” Watch a video of the incident
The White House transcript notes laughter and applause, then more laughter, then more applause. The protesters are gone and order is restored.
It is fairly certain that anyone who dared to raise their voices during the president’s speech on climate change in June at Georgetown University would have been hustled out of the hall just as quickly, even if that was the “right” rally.
In the meantime, the delay in resolving the Keystone issue has increased suspicions that the State Department will, through a sleight of hand, decide that the project to bring Canada’s dirty tar sands oil to U.S. refineries will not have a negative effect on climate.
So when is the right time to protest? After the approval of the pipeline, which will bring millions in profit to oil magnates like the Koch brothers even as it supports one of the dirtiest energy sources on the planet, is a fait accompli?
