Alright, time for another sponsored Sundae Sunday, this time by our new buds at Spoonable. You may remember Junk Food Guy's review of several of their sauces at the beginning of October. Afterwards, I was joking on twitter that they lost me at spicy, and then what happens? Well, they contacted me and offered to send over their entire lineup of flavors for testing.
Free fancy caramel sauce samples? Yeah, I'm game, but where to start?
Ahhhh, you guys know exactly where I started, don't you? Yup, I went with the Salty Caramel and the Brooklyn Butterscotch first ofcourse!! All I can say is WOW are these excellent. JFG called it heavenly. I will not argue with his point in any way, shape, or form. Yes, it's that's good.
They are just so rich and buttery. Nothing artificial or offputting here. If I was fourteen again, I would totally drink this stuff straight out of the container and pass out into the most lovely of sugar rush comas. It's a little pot of liquid gold. I love the ooey gooey texture. In fact, I actually had to adjust my pouring technique because I'm so use to store bought products that are either really thin or really thick. This is gooey but sticks together, you can try to pour it out, but it wants to really wants to stick together.
My first official spoonable sundae used the salty caramel amongst other things.
Something a little more reasonable with the butterscotch.
Next up is Flowery Lavender and Sesame Caramel. These are not the type of flavors I usually dig, but the first two are so good, I can't help but be excited to try these.
The flowery lavender kind of smells like apricots (I do have a cold)... my wife says it reminds her of a scented candle. The aroma of the sesame reminds me of a nutty candy bar. I dig into the sesame first and it's got a mild sesame flavor but with the caramel still being the main flavor. I'm not sure offhand which flavor ice cream would go best with this one, but it's pretty cool. I'm feeling encouraged.
I take a bite of the lavender and HOLY FREHOLY I was not ready for that at all! Wow, talk about something I've never experienced before. Part of me wants to say it burns, but maybe it's just so aromatic that it kind of startles your taste buds. Yeah, sorry spoonable, I won't be having anymore of that one.
Last up is Peppered Orange and Spicy Chili... and I am afraid. Hmmm, for some reason I think I smell apricots again with the orange, and the chili, well, not sure what I smell, but it's not burning my nose, so that's good.
I guess we'll start with orange because, to be honest, I think there is this rogue chance I might like it... and wow, I think I do like it! The orange and the caramel is an interesting combo with the pepper being visible but not distracting. Funky. I think I like it more than the sesame actually. I liked it so much a made these neat breakfast sundaes you see above. It's one of those neat products that makes you feel all foo-foo and sophisticated. Very cool.
Am I man enough to try the chili? Yes... but just barely. I've made it this far, and while this dark colored beast is trying to stare me down, I know I'll be ok with my trusty glass of water. Ok, bottoms up.... I'm not getting a strong flavor but... uh oh... there's the burn. Yeah, I'm good. I'll be right back, need a glass of milk.
And there you have it! Big thanks for spoonable sending over these samples. They took a risk on my crankiness but they've definitely won me over with the quality of their work. My whole family was impressed with the sundaes I made with these sauces. Nice job!
#2: all flavors are available from their online store.

The parents of a boy under the age of 12 were arrested on neglect charges after the dad overdosed in front of his son.
MUNCIE, Ind. – The parents of a boy under the age of 12 were arrested on neglect charges, police said, after the father overdosed on heroin in front of his son.
Matthew Edward Clevenger was booked into the Delaware County jail early Sunday – his 32nd birthday – on charges of neglect of a dependent and possession of paraphernalia.
Emergency personnel had been sent to a home in the 1700 block of South Walnut Street about 10:40 p.m. Saturday and reported finding an unresponsive Clevenger in a bedroom.
He was revived with a medication used in response to heroin overdoses.
That man – who said he had allowed Clevenger, believed to be homeless, to stay at his home for a few days – then called 911 and tried to resuscitate his house guest.
While Clevenger was being placed in an ambulance, his son’s mother, Desiree Lynn Watkins, 32, of Farmland, arrived at the scene and “began yelling and cursing,” an officer wrote in a report.
Watkins said her son was in the custody of another family member, but had been visiting her when she dropped him off to spend time with his father.
Watkins said she was aware Clevenger had overdosed “multiple times” in recent months.
She at first maintained she knew the occupant of the Walnut Street house well and believed her son would be safe there, but eventually acknowledged she had only met the man twice and did not know his last name, according to an affidavit.
Watkins denied using heroin on Saturday with Clevenger, but said she had ingested the drug on Thursday and Friday.
Child Protective Services workers were called to the scene. They released the boy to the care of the relative who is his legal guardian.
Watkins was arrested on a neglect charge, and was later released after posting bond at the Delaware County jail.
Clevenger was transferred to the jail after being examined at the hospital. He continued to be held Monday under a $7,500 bond.
He has been convicted of public intoxication and conversion.

Sony's chief executive Kenichiro Yoshida recently spoke to the Financial Times about the company's hardships and PlayStation's value to the company. Among his revelations was the existence of next-generation hardware, though he didn't say PS5.
Mr. Yoshida spoke about Sony needing to become "more collaborative"; although this is likely a statement about internal structures it is an interesting point of view to consider in light of PlayStation's recent about-turn on cross-platform collaboration.
The PlayStation brand currently accounts for 23% of Sony's revenue, making it the largest single branch of the company by a significant margin. Therefore it will be crucial for PlayStation to thrive in the next generation if the company is going to survive. While it seems certain that Sony will have to relinquish some of its old-fashioned views on the importance of hardware over services, the next generation will apparently include some sort of hardware. Mr Yoshida told the Financial Times that "At this point, what I can say is it’s necessary to have a next-generation hardware". When asked, Mr. Yoshida declined to name that hardware PlayStation 5.
Of course, we can hardly expect Sony's CEO to drop the name of the company's next biggest product in the middle of an interview, so this reluctance to name the console "PlayStation 5" in public is far from a admission that the machine will be called something else. However, Sony appears to be rethinking a lot of aspects of their business internally, likely in response to competitors shifting their perspective on hardware — just look at Microsoft's XCloud plans and Google's game-streaming beta test with Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It might be that the next PlayStation is so conceptually innovative that the iterative moniker no longer suits the machine.
Five months ago, the Head of PlayStation Business made comments which suggested next-generation hardware might not appear until 2021. However with Sony's competitors openly discussing the next generation like it's just around the corner, it may be that PlayStation will adjust their schedule.

A look at the inter–railway politics that led the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire to be starved of traffic at its Western end.
When it ceased operations in 1880 the Potteries, Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway (the ’Potts’)* left a mess. Over the next thirty years its prolonged death throes left a scattering of, mostly derelict, railways, unused formations, unused construction powers and an inheritance of uncertain user rights over a large swath of border country stretching from Shrewsbury to the Berwyn Mountains. As a latecomer in this saga Holman F Stephens was able for a time to produce a useful, and for 20 years profitable, railway from much of the old track by the creation of the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Light Railway (SMR). Nevertheless the major traffic sources at the western end were to be denied him by the machinations of the much larger, if usually impecunious, Cambrian Railways.
Starting from Shrewsbury, the SMR followed the old Potts formation designed for express connection to Wales. This led through deeply rural countryside and when the new line opened in September 1911 it ended at the apparently inconspicuous and remote country junction of Llanymynech on the Cambrian Railways’ Oswestry to Welshpool line. This station and the village from which it was named was in fact a prosperous place of 1000 souls and was only six miles from the larger market and engineering town of Oswestry. West of Llanymynech station and the Cambrian line was an area rich in stone, lime and minerals that had been a principal destination of the Ellesmere (later Shropshire Union) Canal promoted in the late 18th century.
So how was it that Stephens never managed to tap this traffic source and the SMR had to make do with the pittance that a junction with the Cambrian Railways offered? Well it was not for want of trying, but the depths of the mess left by the old Potts and the combative attitude of the Cambrian Railways simply defeated the smaller and weaker railway.
When built, the Potts had an interchange station at Llanymynech and then crossed the main Oswestry to Welshpool line of the Cambrian by a double junction with , for reasons unknown, an additional single connection also in the south-westerly direction. The old main line then proceeded towards the Tanat Valley and the mountains, throwing off a branch to large quarries at Nantmawr owned by the Lilleshall Coal and Iron Co. This short (three mile) extension probably generated more traffic than the whole of the rest of the railway, and in fact was to remain open after all other railways in the area were closed.
Surrounded by hostile lines and deprived of its through-line status the Potts had struggled from its opening in 1866 and by 1870 ended its services from Shrewsbury at Llanyblodwell on the Nantmawr branch, with a through service to Oswestry on Market days. By 1880 it had got into a very decrepit state and it was closed on safety grounds by the Board of Trade. Fatally for the prosperity of companies that attempted to reopen it the Potts asked the Cambrian to take over the Nantmawr quarry traffic for two years. It is not clear how long this arrangement initially persisted, if at all, for Richard France seems to have gone bankrupt at some time in 1881. The branch certainly closed for a period. The lease of the quarry was taken up by John Parson Smith, and he was forced by the Cambrian to advance £800 to repair the track on the line (offset by a rate rebate until it was repaid) and did so by an agreement dated 24th July 1885. On the same day the Cambrian signed a running powers agreement with the Potts to maintain and use the branch till the end of 1892, and this drifted on beyond that as an informal arrangement until formallised in 1894. Parson Smith surrendered his lease in September 1899 and his principle customer, the Lilleshall Co, took it up. They also signed a special rates agreement with the Cambrian. No doubt triggered by this and the fact that since 1894 they had been also using part of the branch for their Llanfyllin traffic, the Cambrian seem to have finally pushed for a long term formal agreement. This was finally signed on 1 May 1900. It was to be fatal to the prosperity of the yet to be born Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Light Railway.
Uniquely amongst British railways the Potts main line then lay derelict awaiting its re-awakening by Stephens. In 1888 another company, the Shropshire Railways, had obtained take-over powers. These included reciprocal running powers with the Cambrian to balance the powers that company had to run to Shrewsbury and enabled the smaller company to reach Oswestry. This attempt to resurrect the line failed as they ran out of money before they could do anything useful.
The Cambrian had meanwhile exploited the weakness of the Shropshire to consolidate its hold on the area. Anxious to improve its access from Llanymynech Station to its Llanfyllyn Branch (which had to be reached by a back shunt east of Llanymynech to pass over the Ellesmere Canal) and to secure the Nantmawr Quarry traffic it made some astute moves. In 1894 it negotiated full running rights on the Nantmawr Branch to a new junction, authorised by the Shropshire Railways Act 1891, with its Llanfyllyn Branch. It then signalled and interlocked the Nantmawr part of Llanymynech’s double junction for its own use. Further in 1895/6 despite opposition in writing from Ullmer, the Shropshire’s secretary, Aslett, the Cambrian manager, citing Board of Trade requirements, severed the original Potts junction line and rebuilt Llanymynech station platforms over it. To add insult to injury the Cambrian also built their junction signal box on Shropshire Railways land.
In the mid to late 1890s the Tanat Valley Light Railway (independent but soon to be worked and later absorbed by the Cambrian) had been formed to supplant the old Potts’ and Shropshire Railways 1891 lapsed powers to build a line up the Tanat Valley. But, with the active participation of its solicitor Joseph Parry-Jones (who was quite co-incidentally Oswestry's town clerk and a little later the Cambrian’s Solicitor) and a substantial bribe of free running powers over the Cambrian into Oswestry, it had decided by 1898 not to use the line to Llanymynech. Instead it was to thrust east to join an older Cambrian mineral line (at Porthywaen) giving a direct railway to Oswestry.
This caused an unholy and prolonged row with Shropshire Railways. Viscount Newport (later to be Lord Bradford, a Shropshire Railways director and later one of Stephens founding co-directors on the SMR) had, as a local landowner, tried to block the Tanat’s Porthywaen connection in favour of the earlier line. In this he was assisted by that company’s solicitor, F C Matthews, later to be a long time associate of Stephens and indeed co-contractor in the SMR rebuilding. These men realised that mineral traffic was essential to Shropshire Railways revival for, as Matthews told the Cambrian, it would ‘take out the eye’ of the concern. In protracted and disputatious negotiations they caused the Tanat to join the Nantmawr line. It did this for a short distance at Llanyblodwell (renamed Blodwell Junction) station with an east facing junction, using it for only a few yards then leaving to join the Porthywaen line. Their pressure also ensured that a direct west-facing junction (known contemporaneously as Lord Bradford’s loop) was authorised.
4 for goods to Ellesmere and interchange with the Great Central Railway. (Stephens had earlier written to the Cambrian in connection with the Light Railway Order ‘In view of the fact that you have running powers over 18 miles of our line and in return …we have only 6 [over yours] we are of the opinion that we [should have more]’).
Well the Cambrian didn’t mind the occasional market or even regular passenger trains to Oswestry but they were not going to allow anyone else access to the lucrative Nantmawr Quarries or the Tanat Valley, let alone let Stephens’ trains run further.
now proceeded to do all in its power to bottle up the infant SMR. They used in particular their formal and informal agreements with the Shropshire to suggest that as they had running rights on the Nantmawr branch no one else (the SMR) could have as well.
After characteristically pithy Stephens’ correspondence with the Chairman and General Managers of the Cambrian, there were over the next few years prolonged discussion and disputes. These culminated in legal cases that finally went to the High Court. Desperate to protect the £2000 (£125K in 2004 values) they were pulling in each year for the short haul involved the Cambrian, was, by this time deliberately stalling to disadvantage the weaker company. It changed its stance by arguing that running powers could only be exercised over the original junction that they had unilaterally removed! To bring matters to a head Stephens, on behalf of the Shropshire companies gave notice on 19th June 1913 that he wished to work 1 goods and 2 passenger trains over the Nantmawr line and on 7th July served formal legal notice that such services would be implemented.
Sixty years earlier railway politics conducted like this had several times ended with trains trying to force the junction only to be blocked by locomotives chained to the rails. Unfortunately for our entertainment but continuingly fortunate for lawyers pockets matters had progressed to less physical methods. Not surprisingly, given the specific provisions of the LRO and the Cambrian’s high-handed unilateral decision in 1895 to remove the original junction, the SMR finally won in court, on appeal, on 27 October 1913.
Had David finally slain Goliath? Regrettably not. As we know the SMR never terminated its passenger services in Oswestry nor got its happy ending tapping the lucrative mineral traffic opened up by its progenitors. The Cambrian's Counsel after its High Court defeat had written to W Kendrick Minshall (the Company’s Solicitor) ‘…keep them [the SMR] busy over something else’. This Machiavellian approach seems to have worked. At one stage they even stooped to informing the Earl of Powis, a powerful force in the Welsh Borders, one of their directors and a debenture holder in the SMR, of likely irregularities in SMR reporting of Debenture interest. An honourable man, he seems to have taken no action.
1 The Cambrian, regardless of whether Nantmawr quarry traffic went via Porthywaen or Llanymynech, would pay tolls to the Shropshire.
As can be seen this agreement was of little or no direct benefit to the SMR/Shropshire interests. However given Cambrian attitudes, Sir Charles Owens was unable to negotiate more. At least it bought some peace and reduced legal fees.
With the railways under wartime controls none of this counted anyway.
The Cambrian continued in general to be unremittingly hostile. The SMR did not help when in 1919 it attempted to gain an outlet to Potteries markets and the friendly North Staffordshire Railway with its resurrected Market Drayton extension, a move that directly threatened Cambrian traffics.
The whole of 1921 was devoted to arguing about the S&MRs rights to receive Nantmawr traffic including, again serving notice on of their intention to run on the branch in 6months from 17th May 1921 . In private, the LNWR, one of the partners in the traffic, showed signs of agreeing with Stephens, but the Great Western and Cambrian had no qualms and suppressed this split. Meanwhile the Cambrian threw in every delaying tactic from quoting spurious rates to submitting unduly high costs for reinstatement of facilities for through traffic-despite the fact that they were all in place and in use- to simply refusing to meet or reply to letters. This tactic worked, the Cambrian amalgamated with the Great Western on 25 March1922 and S&MRs case became hopeless as virtually the whole route of Lilleshall's traffic was now in that company’s hands. And anyway the GWR, unlike the Southern that was run by many of Stephens’ friends, was by inclination hostile to any surviving small company in its territory.
Llanymynech became literally and metaphorically the end of the line. With precious little to gain financially, thanks to the 1916 agreement, the SMR gave up on quarry traffic and after a few more years passenger traffic gave up on them. The Llanymynech –Blodwell Junction line was finally closed as a through route in 1925.
Nantmawr quarry traffic, one of the principal movers in the Potts, Shropshire and SMR promotions continued to enrich others until traffic finall ceased in 1971. The line was mothballed untill finally closed in 1992, the last of the railway lines in the area.
*First promoted as the West Midlands, Shrewsbury and Coast of Wales heading for the chimera of an Irish packet port on the Lleyn Peninsular. This failed but the more modest West Shropshire Mineral railway was then promoted as a line to connect the Nantmawr and Criggion area quarries to the Welshpool - Shrewsbury line. This in turn rapidly evolved through amendment and amalgamation into the modest potential main line the Potteries, Shrewsbury and North Wales, a line from Market Drayton via Shrewsbury and the Berwyns. It nearly became a creature of the Great Northern Railway, no less, during that railway’s great competitive expansionist period. At this early stage the Potts was very friendly with the Cambrian and its predecessors. This changed when the Cambrian got its hands on the Quarry traffic.

There are many debts you should avoid whenever you are trying avoid financial ruin. Some of the debts that you can obtain may hinder your financial independence in the future. There are four different types of debts you should avoid whenever possible.
Cars are needed for everyday life and are not something that many people can live without. However, auto loans are one of the debts you should avoid. Many times people will go overboard when it comes to purchasing a car.
Borrowing money to purchase a car is not wrong; you want to pay the loan off as quickly as possible. The longer you let the loan continue the more interest you will be paying. Save up some money before going and taking out the loan, so that you can make a large payment shortly after taking out the loan.
It is not smart to lease a car all the time. It is something that you want to think about clearly. When you lease a car you not only pay high interest but you also have nothing permanent to show when you have finished your contract.
Another reason that auto loans are a debt you should avoid is because most people cannot stop at just one. Many times after you complete one loan, you want a better car and end up taking out another.
Commonly payday loans are used to cover unexpected expenses until the next day that you are paid. Payment for this type of loan is due at the time of your next paycheck. That means that this type of a loan is only good for about two weeks.
This is a debt you should avoid because it comes with consequences. With a payday loan, it has a high interest rate, anywhere from 15% to 30% for only a two-week period of time. That may not seem like a lot, however that is because you are looking at the short-term numbers. If you analyze the numbers for the APR (annual percentage rate) then you will see that it is from the interest rate is actually from 390% to 780%.
In most 401k plans, there are options for a loan provision. This loan is a debt you should avoid in getting into. 401k loans are something that most people believe comes with no penalty; however, there are several consequences.
If you leave your job, you will be required to pay the loan in full. Most commonly, you will have only 60 days to repay the money.
If the loan turns into a withdrawal it can be taxed at your normal income tax rates.
There will be a 10% penalty charged on top of any taxes if you are under the age of 59.5 years old.
You will miss any additional interest, capital gains, or dividends while the money is on loan. That means that your money is no longer in an investment account working for you.
Borrowing from your 401k can become a habit. It can become so easy to justify borrowing from your 401k that this is one debt you should avoid completely.
There are so many reasons that credit cards are a debt you should avoid. Most of the debt that an individual will abuse through purchases and the assumption of the ability to pay it back. Credit card debt can be debilitating to a person’s credit score as well as their financial stability.
It has been proven that there are around 46% of families have credit card balances. The average credit card balance is around $7,300. This can be a lot of debt for most families, and it can cause a lot of financial situations.
It can be tempting the credit rewards that can be offered, and this can make individuals want to gain more credit. When looking at rewards you want to watch out for penalties on late payments. Extra costs from the credit company can counter balance any good that is gained from the rewards.
It is important that no matter what debt you will choose, be sure that know what you are getting into. Make sure that the terms to any agreement are clear to you, as well as any consequences that might be incurred. These are the four types of debt you should avoid. However, that does not mean that in moderation or with careful planning that, you cannot successfully own a car, or credit cards, or even get a payday loans. However, it is important that no matter what you decide that you continue to watch and evaluate your situation to reduce the debt you are in.
Remember that it is important to continue to save for items that you need, this will help you stay out of the habit of search for the debt you should avoid.

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Julie or Jules of Someone’s in the Kitchen picked Flaky Apple Turnovers on page 316 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
I read the directions. A couple times. Really.
But I was also super duper tired, and completely misread the part about the size of the circle. It is about 4 inches and I used a small biscuit cutter instead! Oops. Therefore, I couldn't fold over my turnover to save my life. Unless I wanted to have one piece of apple in each one...which would turn these into just half moons of pie dough. So, at 4:30 this morning, I made the executive decision to put a circle of dough on top!
I used Gala apples and skipped adding butter to the apples...I figure there was enough in the dough.
I didn't eat them, but the dough was quite flaky. I put sanding sugar on top of an egg wash.
Thanks for this cute selection, Julie!
I love your turnovers, and I'm quite impressed that you were able to make such a decision at 4:30 am!!!
What a creative save! I would not have been so resourceful at that hour. I think you might have even improved on the original concept! They look fabulous!
I love the circles and I can't believe you got up at 4:30 in the morning to make them! That is dedication. If I don't have twd done before tues, I just don't do it, so you have got me beat!
They look perfect and I am sure whoever got to eat them ended up pretty happy.
Well, your mistake turned out to be a fortuitous one! These look beautiful! Great job as usual :).
That looks so amazing! I'm impressed that you could do anything other than sleep at 4:30 in the morning. Thanks for baking with me!
Awesome! LOVE the round turnovers. Way to stick with the program and get it down.
I do the same thing--say I'm going to get the recipes done early and am usually scrambling Monday to get to it! Sigh.
Your photos are drool-worthy as always Mary! Love your cute little turnovers :) I waited until the last minute to make these too but such is the story of my life!
You could have easily lied and I wouldn't have known.... what a great way to turn these "turnovers" around! Love the nice sanding sugar texture! 4:30? Course, here it is almost 1:30am and I'm just finishing baking! Nicely done this week!
So flaky! So cute! They look like little flying saucers. Many people had issues with the shape. Me, I took the easy (no rerolling) route and cut squares.
Wow! These are terrific! Creativity knows no bounds....particularly at 430am! They look fabulous and VERY flaky!
I <3 sanding sugar, it's just so crunchy and pretty. I'm so glad you managed to eke these out, because they're absolutely gorgeous! Please tell me you ended up at least trying one?
Oh, but those look like a better idea anyway. Folding them in half just doesn't give enough apples, even with bigger circles.
What's the saying "necessity is the mother of invention"? I think that's it.
Executive decision...I like it! We are all CEOs of our kitchens, I guess. I also used a 4" cutter and had trouble getting much fruit in. But your pastries look incredibly flaky and delicious - nice job!
I LOVE the way your turnovers turned out! They are just beautiful!
These look amazing - more like apple pockets. Bravo.
Love, love, love the little circles of dough and they are so flaky!!! Great job...those would have disappeared quickly around here.
These are so cute and delicious I'm sure.
so cute...like little flying saucers! too bad you couldn't eat any--they are super flaky!
Yeah - I must have tired too, because I missed the part about adding butter to the filling!
Not that it mattered in the end, because I used chocolate!
I can't believe you stayed up to make them! They're darling though!
Those look INCREDIBLE. I love the mound of filling and they are soooo flaky. Great job.
I love that you are baking at 4:30am.....this TWD thing is so addictive :)...you have such lucky coworkers.
They look perfect! I've done that Monday night baking and it can be hard.
You are in too many clubs. What next? AUTO CLUB. CLUB SANDWICH. CLUBBER LANE.
I liked them in their circular shape!
Those are awesome looking flaky apple turnovers! When I first saw the pictures of the dough with the apple, then the folded over turnover I was amazed that you were able to foldover the filling so perfectly! Using 2 circles of dough - totally genius! Looks fabulous with the sanding sugar!
you will get a lot of comments on this one as that photo is perfect! you did an awesome job on these. I can't believe you didn't even have one or a bite?
Wow! These look absolutely delicious and also easy to make. You truly are a dedicated baker waking up so early.
Apple turnovers are always a big hit in my house, I just always seem to screw them up when I try making them. My wife does it so much better. I think I'll try your recipe and cross my fingers I don't screw it up!

When we lived in London, once a year Cory and I would take a just-the-two-of-us trip while Lexie went off on her school’s annual week-long residential trip. These trips that were originally just a way to distract me from my separation anxiety, ultimately became something I began to look forward to every year. Since we were a family of three right from the start, these trips were a little glimpse into what marriage pre-kids must be like, and even though traveling as a family will always be my favorite way to travel, I can honestly say I’m not going to hate everything about couples-only travel.
Because we still wanted to be accessible in the event Lexie needed us while she was on her own trip, we always kept our couples holidays close to home by picking a new place to visit somewhere in England. Our first year we traveled to Bath and had a blast exploring one of the oldest cities we had ever been to. Our second year we spent a week hiking in and driving through western Cornwall, which is still in my Top 5 trips ever. And our third and final year, we got to visit somewhere I’d been looking forward to seeing since we moved to England – the Cotswolds.
Stretching from Stratford-upon-Avon in the north to Bath in the south, the places you’ll see in the Cotswolds are the things English countryside dreams are made of. (Or at least Hollywood ones, anyway.) Set amid rolling hills dotted with grazing sheep and cows, the towns and villages in the Cotswolds are pretty much English perfection. Thatched roof cottages, picture-perfect farmland, crumbling castles, towns made entirely of honey-colored Cotswold stone – visiting the Cotswolds is like going back in time.
Chipping Campden is a small town in the northern Cotswolds that was once a popular wool-trading center back in medieval times. This is the town we used as our homebase for the duration of our trip and I couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. We saw a lot of towns on this trip, but none of them had a High Street and city center quite like Chipping Campden. To add to its historic charm, Chipping Campden is one of those towns I mentioned earlier that was built using Cotswold stone nearly exclusively in the city center. If it weren’t for the cars on the roads, I really would have felt like we were back in ancient times here! Surrounded by farmland and offering plenty of choices for dining and accommodations, Chipping Campden was an attractive, ideal base for our trip.
Things to Do: Take a photo-walk along Hoo Lane, one of the most photogenic streets in Chipping Campden. Walk the portion of the Cotswold Way (a 102-mile trail) that runs from the center of town up to Dover’s Hill. Check out the 17th century Market Hall which still stands in the town center and visit St James’ Church.
A short drive south of Chipping Campden is Stow-on-the-Wold, another small town that’s worth a (possibly quick) visit. Stow-on-the-Wold has a small, idyllic town center with lots of boutiques, antique shops, and cafes, but what drew me to this town was a door. Yes, a door. But not just any door – the gateway to the elf world…or so they say. Supposedly, this door on the rear of St Edward’s Church was the inspiration for the Doors of Durin in The Lord of the Rings. Not having read the books or seen the movies, I have no idea what that is, but I do know a cool shot when I see one and I wanted one with this door.
See more photos of Stow-on-the-Wold here!
Just five miles south of Stow-on-the-Wold is Bourton-on-the-Water, a town quite a bit larger than both Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden. Known as the “Venice of the Cotswolds”, the River Windrush runs through Bourton-on-the-Water and a series of small bridges connect the town on either side of it. One of the most picturesque towns we visited, Bourton-on-the-Water was also one of the most touristy. We chose to avoid the touristy sights and spend our time relaxing and taking photos along the river, but if you’re traveling with kids, a stop in Bourton will probably be the highlight of their trip!
See more photos of Bourton-on-the-Water here!
Things to Do: To see the less touristy side of Bourton-on-the-Water, check out the shops and restaurants in the center of town and take a walk along the river. For touristy sights, Birdland, the Model Village, and the Dragonfly Maze all look like good options for both adults and kids.
Back up towards Chipping Campden is the beautiful town of Broadway. Situated at the foot of Fish Hill (where monks used to store fish), if you’re feeling up for a little exercise, one of the coolest things to do in Broadway is visit Broadway Tower and then walk the Cotswold Way through the sheep farms to the town center. (It’s an easy, downhill walk into town…but not so easy on your way back up!) The town of Broadway itself, especially the main street, looks like an English version of Mayberry. The streets are so clean and all the cottages so perfectly manicured and tidy that it hardly looks like anyone actually lives there!
Things to Do: Take a tour inside Broadway Tower. Walk the scenic, 1.5-mile path on the Cotswold Way into town. Check out the 16th century Shakespeare Cottages in town. Stop in the shops and buy all sorts of traditional English treats and quirky souvenirs.
Stratford-upon-Avon is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK thanks to its status as the birthplace of a famous playwright you might of heard of, goes by the name of William Shakespeare. Technically not within the boundaries of the Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon is often known as a gateway to them. An unusual mix of old English village and modern city, Stratford-upon-Avon is quite a bit larger than the other towns we visited on this trip and definitely required a full day to be able to see most of it. If you’re visiting the northern Cotswolds, but prefer to stay in a town with a bit more to do, especially at evening, I’d highly recommend staying here.
Things to Do: Visit the sights in town associated with Shakespeare. (One ticket will get you into all of them.) Take a boat trip down the River Avon. For a little history, check out the Guild Chapel and Guild Hall. For more touristy sights or things to do with kids, visit the Butterfly Farm or Falstaff’s Experience at Tudor World.
So far all the towns listed here have been in the northern Cotswolds, but if you head to the center of this region, you’ll find the bustling town of Burford. The main street in Burford sits high up on a hill, so from the top of the road you’ve got a lovely view of the town plus the surrounding countryside. Of all the towns we visited, we probably spent more time just walking through the town here than we did anywhere else. We found so many lovely places to photograph in the side streets running off the main road. Besides a slew of restaurants and shops along the main road, there isn’t just a ton of things to do here, so if you’re not into photography, Burford will probably be a quick stop!
Read more about the town of Burford here!
Things to Do: Take a photo-walk down the beautiful side streets in town. Grab a bite to eat or do a little shopping. Learn about the town’s history in the Tolsey Museum and visit the Parish Church of St John the Baptist.
And finally, not too far from Burford is my very favorite place in the Cotswolds (at least from a photography standpoint) – the village of Bibury. Famous for the strip of cottages known as Arlington Row, Bibury is a must-see on a visit to the Cotswolds. Besides the famous cottages, the town itself, though very small, is pretty much how I always pictured a village in the Cotswolds would look – crumbling stone buildings lining quiet streets, cozy cottages tucked away from the town at the edge of a forest, and a peaceful river running through the center of it. This is Cotswolds perfection right here!
See more photos of Bibury here!
Things to Do: Not a heck of a lot. Besides Arlington Row and the River Coln, there is a Trout Farm (ha!) where you can catch your own trout and have it cooked for you and a couple of nice places to get an afternoon tea, but Bibury probably isn’t somewhere you’ll be spending a lot of time after you’ve seen the cottages.
As you’ve probably guessed, a trip to the Cotswolds is mainly about three things – photography, shopping, and eating. This is not the place to come if you’re looking for a busy, active holiday which is probably why the majority of other travelers we met on our trip were in the 65+ crowd. :) But if what you’re looking for is a peaceful, easy-going getaway amid some of the prettiest countryside England has to offer, it doesn’t get much better than the Cotswolds!
The Cotswolds is one of my favourite area of England! There are so many lovely towns and villages to choose from. We *almost* visited Stow-on-the-Wold before Christmas but had to cancel unfortunately. I’m hoping we’ll get to see it soon!
That’s a tough question to answer without knowing what exactly you prefer – whether it be history, shopping, photography, pretty walks, etc – but I think you could fairly easily fit Burford, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water and possibly even Stow-on-the-Wold into a day trip (assuming you’re coming from London). That would give you a little taste of several different types of Cotswold towns. I’d start up in the Stow/Bourton area, then drive down to Burford before ending the day in Bibury. Enjoy your trip!
Really lovely article. Having used to live near the Cotswolds many years ago, this is a great reminder for us to revisit. I highly recommend is Burfurd – it’s absolutely lovely in the summer, with lots of quaint pubs with fantastic beer gardens.
In my opinion from all this list the most magnificient and truly looks like miracle is Bibury. Maybe i`m wrong but i`m impressed the most by this town after reading post!
It is a super cute village! Definitely the best if you’re looking for a quiet, old-timey vibe!
These are all so cute!! Bibury has been on my list for a while but I didn’t really know where else specifically was good to go! Ironically I spent much of my childhood in Stratford visiting family, but for some reason I was never really taken into the Cotswolds! Or if I was, only briefly. So I’m making it a mission to get there soon. Thanks for all the suggestions!
I absolutely love Stratford-upon-Avon, cannot wait to revisit! However, I have not even heard about those other towns, but they all look very charming. Broadway Tower looks very cute. Thank you for sharing this interesting post.
I definitely know what you mean. So many times when we travel, we (or the places we visit) are so busy that peaceful would be one of the last words I’d use to describe our trip. That was definitely not the case in the Cotswolds!
You have such beautiful photographs! I need to revisit the Cotswolds at a slower pace, it is so pretty!
The Cotswolds are perfect for slow-pace travel. Everywhere we went had such a relaxed, laid back vibe. I loved it!
Just wow! These towns are all so quaint and picturesque! I’m practically ready to buy my ticket to London to explore all of these. Love that you spent time visiting these villages each year. Such a wonderful tradition!
Well, we actually only visited the one time. We took an annual couples-trip, but we always went somewhere different in England! I’d love to find a place we wanted to return to every year, though!
I think that’s true of a lot of us. It’s embarrassing how little I’ve seen of my own country, actually. Ha!
So happy you published this because I’m headed to the Cotswolds next weekend!!!
That’s so cool! I hope you have a great trip! It’s the perfect time of year to visit!
These pictures are so pretty. I’d love to take a road trip and visit some of these places, they look like something out of a fairytale!
The Cotswolds are admittedly one of my favourite parts of England. I have a great Aunt and Uncle who live in Gloucestershire and I love visiting, as it gives me a chance to drive on to nearby villages like these! It’s England as I always imagined it, haha.
Yes, exactly! The Cotswolds is the epitome of what I imagined England would look like before I actually moved there. Such a beautiful place!
Your photos amazing!! Despite the fact I have lived in Scotland and visited England various times I never heard of these places. Thanks for the post!
Thank you! Totally understandable – despite being relatively small countries, there are way too many cool places to visit in both Scotland and England to be able to have heard of them all!
So much prettiness in one post! These villages are going straight on my need to see list for my next trip to England…especially Bibury and Stow-on-the-Wold even if it’s just for what looks like the most magical door ever!? There’s something about the names of villages in the UK that just make them sound so quaint and old worldly, you can almost imagine the tea and crumpets inside by the fire.
Wow!! These towns look so quaint! I would love to visit and explore them all! I have only been to London so I’m looking forward to branching out next time!
I totally get it! When we lived in London, we hardly ever made weekend trips within the UK. Life gets busy, and for whatever reason it seems easier to plan the big trips vs short weekends away!
My husband used to go to Bourton-on-the-water every year with his family when he was a kid – and it’s so beautiful. Bibury is my favourite too!
That is very cool that Bourton-on-the-Water was an annual tradition for them! I’d love to find a place I loved so much that I wanted to return to it every single year.
the cotswolds has gotta be hands down one of my all time fave places EVER. ???
i loved bourton on the water (i sampled the very best red velvet cheesecake of my life there…so i’m a bit biased!). it’s such an quaint beautiful little place, would love to go back soon.
Hello! I’ve just started reading your blog recently–can’t remember if I’ve even commented much yet! What brings you to Singapore? I just recently started blogging, and I am excited to read everyone’s stories about living abroad and whatnot.
That little area of England sounds incredibly peaceful and quaint. You mentioned a trail, and now I want to walk the entire thing. Friends of mine did the trail from Glasgow to Fort William in Scotland, and now that is my new travel goal to save up for. I lived in Scotland for a few months, but had to drop out of my grad school program because life is expensive. Have a happy week!
Oh, man…I bet the Glasgow to Fort William trail would be beautiful! Scotland is one of our favorite countries, so much beauty there.
Welcome to blogging! It’s such a fun hobby and a great way to connect and learn from others! I’ll go check your blog out!
Lovely post and pictures! I like nothing more than escaping the city and spending some down time in the countryside once in a while. I am planning my next trip to the Cotswolds in a few months time and just added some things to my list :) thanks.
Getting away from the city is definitely good for clearing the head! I’m glad my post help! Enjoy your trip to the Cotswolds!
Wow, this brings back memories. My family lives not far from the Cotswolds and the first time I visited England (when I was 8 yo) we visited all these towns. So beautiful Your photos bring back a lot of memories. Thank you!
I’m so happy to hear that! What a beautiful place to live…your family must love it there!

Senecio is a very large genus with over 1000 species dispersed around the world. Some are lovely and some, like the groundsels and ragworts, are noxious weeds. Some, like Dusty Miller ( Senecio cineraria ), are tender perennials . This profile covers the succulents. There are about 100 succulent Senecios. Some are oddities and not really suited to the garden, but they are certainly interesting. There are some large shrubs, but many are small, either trailing plants or spreading ground covers. As with most succulents, they are very drought and heat tolerant and not very cold tolerant. Many Senecio species are toxic to animals. Use care and do not plant where animals or kids might be tempted to munch them.
Leaves: The leaves are thick and fleshy and can be deep green, bluish or even striped. Senecio succulent leaves vary widely in shape. Some are round, some banana-shaped, some stand upright.
Flowers: Senecio flowers form in clusters, on long stems. Different species bloom at times throughout the year. The flowers persist for weeks. Shapes include red or white spires and yellow daisy-like flowers, but it is really the foliage that interests most gardeners.
There is no common name for the whole group of plants. Each species has its own common name or names.
Most fall somewhere around USDA Hardiness Zones 9 - 11. A few can tolerate brief periods of cold or dampness, but prolonged exposure will turn them to mush.
Most are low growing, under 1 ft. (30 cm) tall. Depending on species, they may spread out or trail down about 1 ft. (20 cm).
Senecio succulents are grown for their interesting shapes and leaves. They do bloom, at different times during the year, but not all of them bloom in cultivation as well as they do in the wild.
plants height with pot is 9 inch and pot size is 3 inch diameter.
plants nature is indoor-semi shade, watering once in 5 days.
useful for gifts Plants, table top Plants, terrariums & fairy gardens.
Best succulent with beautiful texture, hardy plant & low maintenance.

Typically applied like nail polish, topical anti-fungal ointments are designed to kill fungal infections. While they’re useful at preventing the spread of existing fungal infections, they’re usually only about 10% effective at actually eliminating toenail fungus.
Anti-fungal oral medications (terbinafine – Lamisil) are usually only about 40% effective at eliminating toenail fungus. Doctors are usually reluctant to prescribe them because they can be very hard on your liver.
Precision Laser™ Tattoo Removal offers toenail fungus laser treatments in Toronto. During a laser treatment, the laser is pointed directly at the fungus to heat (and sustain that heat) it to an appropriate temperature to kill it right at the time of treatment. Laser treatments with the PinPointe™ FootLaser™ are 72% effective after only one treatment. At Precision Laser™, we offer a series of three treatments, which gives you the best possible chance at success.
At Precision Laser™, we have staked our reputation on only offering the best possible technology for a given treatment. After researching various options, it was clear that the PinPointe™ FootLaser™ was hands down the most advanced laser for treating onychomycosis (toenail fungus). It emits a pulsed laser beam at precisely the right wavelength and speed to both heat the fungus to a temperature of 65°C, and also to keep it at that temperature long enough to kill the fungus.
For that reason, no oral medication is required in conjunction with laser treatments. For more details on the PinPointe™ laser, you can review this helpful online brochure. You may also view our FAQ page for answers to commonly asked questions about our toenail fungus treatments.

ZIF-67 dan komposit MCM-41/ZIF-67 dengan variasi penambahan massa MCM-41 terhadap massa ZIF-67 sebesar 2,5; 5 dan 10% berhasil disintesis dengan pelarut air pada suhu ruang. Pola difraktogram ZIF-67 dan komposit hasil sintesis, yang berturut-turut dinotasikan sebagai MC(2,5)/ZIF-67, MC(5)/ZIF-67 dan MC(10)/ZIF-67, menunjukkan puncak karakteristik pada 2θ sekitar 7,32; 10,36; 12,69; 14,66 dan 16,40° yang sesuai dengan pola difraktogram ZIF-67 standar. Spektra FTIR padatan hasil sintesis menunjukkan pita serapan pada bilangan gelombang yang sama dengan ZIF-67 referensi. Morfologi permukaan ZIF-67 dan komposit MCM-41/ ZIF-67 hasil sintesis memiliki bentuk kubus, yang karakteristik untuk ZIF-67 standar. Data adsorpsi-desorpsi N2 menunjukkan bahwa luas permukaan spesifik ZIF-67 dan MC(5)/ZIF-67 berturut-turut 1079,2 dan 1011,2 m2/g, lebih kecil dari MC(10)/ZIF-67 (1250,6 m2/g). Akan tetapi, stabilitas termal MC(10)/ZIF-67 mencapai 357 °C, lebih tinggi dari ZIF-67 (325 °C). Hasil pengukuran kapasitas adsorpsi komposit terhadap zat warna methyl orange (MO) dalam air menunjukkan bahwa MC(5)/ZIF-67 memiliki kapasitas adsorpsi tertinggi sebesar 167,635 mg/g, serta mengikuti kinetika adsorpsi orde dua semu dan isotermal adsorpsi Langmuir. =========== ZIF-67 and MCM-41/ ZIF-67 composites have been synthesized using water as solvent at room temperature. The amount of MCM-41 added during the synthesis process was varied at 2.5, 5 and 10% toward the mass of ZIF-67, and the obtained composites were notated as MC(2,5)/ZIF-67, MC(5)/ZIF-67 and MC(10)/ZIF-67, respectively. Difractogram patterns of the obtained solids showed characteristic peaks at 2θ of 7.32, 10.36, 12.69, 14.66 and 16,40°, similar to that of reported ZIF-67. Furthermore, FTIR spectra of all solids showed absorption bands at the same wavenumbers as reported for ZIF-67. Images from Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) showed that surface morphology of ZIF-67 and the composites dominated by cubic shape. The results of adsorption-desorption N2 showed that specific surface area of ZIF-67 and MC(5)/ZIF-67 were 1079.2 and 1011.2 m2/g, respectively, lower than that of ZIF-67 (1250.6 m2/g). The thermal stability of the MC(10)/ZIF-67, however, reached 357 °C, higher than that of ZIF-67 (325 °C). Performance of the composites as adsorbent was studied for the removal of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solutions. It was found that the MC(5)/ZIF-67 composite had highest adsorption capacity toward MO (167,635 mg/g), as well as followed a kinetic adsorption model of pseudo-second order and a Langmuir isotherm adsorption.

Here is the final of the winning presentations from the BodyShock the Future contest for ideas to improve global health that was held last summer.
"Thrive portion control ware's cups and plates help steer people to eat 20% less per meal. It works subtly and subconsciously to enable people to eat and drink less. Plate will tip if user places food in the red zone. Control words are on back of plate so users will see "restraint" or "will power" every time they pick one up from a dish rack or cupboard. Cup is quartered off as well, so users drink 20% less no matter what the beverage is. People can consciously consume less. Thrive Portion Ware enables people to do just that."
"I just finished my last semester a month ago. So I'm working on various projects including Thrive. I made a mock website for it since then, here it is: http://pomo.cca.edu/~sng2/ThriveFinal/. I'm trying to code the Shop section to work correctly, where it will tally up the amount of people who do want to buy it in order to gather some statistics. After I work out that bug, I will be touching it up, move it to a new server instead of my school's so it won't crash from traffic spikes. I'm also finishing up writing the patent to submit."
We wish Sally all the best as she moves forward with her idea to make portion control easy and beautiful. Stay tuned for more updates on each winner throughout the year as they make progress.

In a world riven by national egoisms and intercultural tensions, it is perhaps more important than ever for us to try to see what is noble and universal in the varied religious symbol systems of the world’s cultures.
Our long journey towards a global spirituality requires us to constantly translate the insights of particular faiths into universally intelligible concepts and images drawn from our common human experience and, thus equipped, to boldly encourage the world’s religions to recognize their deep family resemblances.

Looking down on Lough Cummeenapeasta on the way up Cruach Mhor.
I had been planning to go back ever since – if you want to visit the highest peaks, MacGillycuddy’s Reeks are the place to go. Mountainviews.ie, the excellent website for hillwalking in Ireland has several lists that can be completed, and the 900 meters up list contains only 14 summits – 12 of them are in Co Kerry, and 11 of those are in MacGillycuddy’s Reeks. I had already bagged one, the highest of all, when I’d walked Carrauntoohil, and had long wanted to visit more. This walk alone would allow me to tick off 6 more of the 900 meter summits, plus a finish with a second visit to the 845 meter high Cnoc na Toinne which I previously summited on the same day as Carrauntoohil. My planned route would take me over the area commonly referred to as the Eastern Reeks, although there are two further, smaller peaks in the range further east. The mountains visited on the route would be Cruach Mhor 932 meters, The Big Gun 939 meters, Knocknapeasta 988 meters, Maolan Bui 973 meters, Cnoc an Chuillinn East Top 926 meters, Cnoc an Chuillinn 958 meters, and finally Cnoc na Toinne – the baby of the bunch at 845 meters! I was both excited and a little bit apprehensive at the thought as this would undoubtedly be my most difficult walk this year, probably the hardest I had ever undertaken. The ridge is notorious due to its height and exposure, forming a knife edge in places, and although I intended to drop below the crest of the ridge to avoid the worst parts, I would always have to rejoin it for the summits, and there would inevitably be difficult and dangerous ground, plus the physical challenge of a long walk with a lot of ascent.
Approaching the Eastern Reeks, with the first summit, Cruach Mhor, on the left.
I had been talking about the trip for a while, and it sounded attractive enough to my sister, who had previously joined me on Croagh Patrick, to make her decide to come along. Kerry is far enough from Tyrone for a bit of planning to be needed. We thought we would need at least two, and possibly three days – one for the long drive down, one for the walk, and maybe another overnight stay before taking the long drive back. As a result, the bank holiday weekend in July seemed the best bet and we committed to taking the trip then. As it turned out, the weather forecast was far from ideal, but the plans were difficult to change, and we set off early on the morning of 11th July in heavy rain for Kerry. It was forecast to be drier the next day, but it looked bleak as we arrived in Kerry that evening. We were camping at Cronin’s Yard, a well known campsite and starting point for walking in the Reeks, on a farm at the foot of the mountains. We took advantage of a short break in the rain to pitch our tents, then got chatting to some fellow walkers at the site. It turned out that a big charity walk over a similar route to ours, although even longer, had to be abandoned that day due to the terrible conditions – these are not mountains to be taken lightly or tackled in adverse weather, and there have many outings for Kerry Mountain Rescue over the years, as well as several fatalities. We could only hope for better the next day, and if we got it, we would have a challenging day, so there would no drinking or sampling the Kerry hospitality for us! Instead, we headed to nearby Killorglin for something to eat, then retired to our tents for an early night, and an early rise in the morning.
The next day, in our excitement, we were up at six to find the weather much improved. It was still grey and overcast, with drizzle, and low clouds were hiding some of the mountains, but it was much better than the previous day, and good enough we felt, to allow us to continue. We could always turn back if it looked like getting worse, before we were committed to the ridge. By 6.30 we were off walking, initially taking the track from Cronin’s Yard which leads eventually to the well known Devil’s Ladder ascent of Carrauntoohil. Before that however, we cut off left, to the east, across the bog towards Cruach Mhor, which was one the summits untouched by the low cloud. Our initial target was what looked like a ridge about halfway up the mountain, but we knew it was actually just a low edge behind which lay the hidden Lough Cummeenapeasta. It was already difficult walking over boggy ground and then a steep pull up to the lough.

A look back along the track towards Cronin’s Yard.
We had left the track now and were crossing the bog, heading for the top of the grassy slope on the right, with Cruach Mhor rising from there on the left. Behind the top of the slope, we knew Lough Cummeenapeasta to be hidden. Further back, on the right, is another of the summits we planned to traverse, Knocknapeasta.
A fair distance and some boggy ground to get across before we even reach the slopes of Cruach Mhor.

The highest peaks still hidden by cloud, although the sharp point of the Hag’s Tooth can be seen.
A little closer, although we still had that steep, grassy slope to climb to reach Lough Cummeenapeasta.
Even in grey, overcast conditions, there is a beautiful bleakness to this wild landscape.
Beginning to get some height now.
By now we were well up the initial climb up the grassy slope.
Arriving at the top of the slope, and we had reached the end of what we had been thinking of as stage 1. Looking across to Knocknapeasta – the third peak we would cross on our walk.
The first stage of our walk was complete. We had reached the top of the initial slope on to the shoulder dropping down to the west off Cruach Mhor. On the other side was the previously hidden Lough Cummeenapeasta and we stopped for our first rest to recover our breath and take in the new view down over the lough. It had already been a tough walk, and we were only about halfway up the first of seven mountains on our planned route! On the plus side, I knew that by the time we got to the top of Cruach Mhor at 932 meters, we would have most of the ascent for the day done, if not the distance. From there, the rest of the summits lay along a ridge, and there would be a lot less ascent and descent between each peak. As we rested, we also got a chance for a closer look at what lay ahead. We were about halfway up Cruach Mhor, but undoubtedly, the hardest half was in front of us. The slope got much steeper, losing its grassy character, and looking increasingly rocky as it ascended. Once we reached the top of Cruach Mhor, the ridge walk would begin. From here, the summits beyond Knocknapeasta were hidden by its impressive bulk, but we could see most of the ridge leading to it, and it was definitely dominating our thoughts now! The ridge looked absolutely impossible from here – almost sheer drops rising to a knife edge. It seemed too steep to find a path anywhere below the top of the ridge, and the top itself did not look like anything either of us would consider walking along. All I could think was that maybe a route could be seen closer up, but that I would rather turn back at any point if necessary than continue over ground beyond our ability. For now, we were rested and started the steep climb over rocks up to the top of Cruach Mhor.
The northeastern face of Knocknapeasta dropping steeply down to Lough Cummeenapeasta. You can see part of the ridge we would be crossing dropping down from the summit towards the left of the frame.
The ground getting steeper on Cruach Mhor’s slopes, with a stretch of the ridge visible behind.
The slope getting increasingly steep with height.
We weren’t able to brood on the ridge ahead for long, as all our concentration was required for the climb up the remainder of Cruach Mhor. The higher we got, the steeper the ground became, and it gradually became completely covered in large rocks and boulders. Scrambling was required, with the use of hands needed at all times. It was steep enough to mean that a fall would be serious, possibly fatal, and at some points it was uncomfortably closer to rock climbing than hill walking. It was made even worse by the fact that it started to rain for the first time that morning, making the rocks and any small patches of mossy ground between them, extremely slippery. Thankfully, the climb stayed on just the right side of our capabilities, and there was no actual rock climbing required, just difficult scrambling in poor conditions, and we knew that as long as we fully concentrated, making sure of each step and handhold before committing any weight, we could manage. Progress was slow and careful, but we were able to do it safely. At times like this, it is important not to get too committed to reaching a summit, and push beyond your limits. I would have turned back without a thought, if it had become too difficult. It is also your own ability that counts – there are some who would have skipped up that slope without pause and have considered it easy! Others no doubt, would have taken one look at it and turned back. (The only photos I have from this section were taken on flatter bits, where the ground looks perfectly walkable! On the steeper parts, there are no photos because my hands, and mind, were full occupied, so please judge me kindly here).
Lough Cummeenapeasta contains the wreckage of a plane that crashed there in World War II, and the wing is visible just under the surface close to the shore. It was clearly visible to us at the time, and even in the photo above, I can make it out, knowing where it was. I don’t know if anyone else will be able to see it, but it appears as the merest hint of white, almost touching the shore and pointing away at a right angle just under the water. It is almost in the centre of the frame, about half way along the steep, far shore.
Near the summit, and we were now getting views of the start of the ridge walk as far as the Big Gun, the previously hidden second summit on our walk.
A view showing how steep some parts of the slope got near the top.
The summit of Cruach Mhor is marked by a shrine – like a short section of high stone wall, with a little grotto in one side, in which there were several small statues of the Virgin Mary. I’m not in the least religious, and do not agree with the mania in Ireland for putting religious items on the top of some of our wildest places. I had to admit though, it was an impressive achievement to build this up here, and on this occasion too, as we hunkered down behind it, I was extremely glad of the shelter it offered. Just as we arrived at the top, the rain increased in intensity and the cloud closed in around us obscuring the views. Simultaneously, the wind really picked up – maybe the mountain had been sheltering us lower down. The wind was really strong at this point, and very cold even in mid July, and as we sat with our backs to the stone shrine, it definitely helped.
The shrine from behind, on the side where we took shelter from strong wind which accompanied the cloud closing in around us.
The grotto with statues on the other side of the shrine.
As the cloud continued to thicken we could still just about see our next target, The Big Gun, 939 metres high, and even its name gave it a menacing air. Despite its height measured from sea level, the ridge leading to it required very little ascent or descent, not much more than 30 or 40 metres I’d guess, and less than half a kilometre in distance. The difficulty with this part of the ridge would be its knife edge nature and exposure, with big, steep drops on both sides. The fearsome reputation of the Eastern Reeks walk rests solely really on the section from Cruach Mhor to Knocknapeasta, with The Big Gun in between. After Knocknapeasta it is plain sailing, but the ridge is formidable up to that point. Fortunately, Mountainviews.ie is a great source of information for all ability levels, and one of the tips I’d read there when planning this trip, was that the top of ridge could be avoided between Cruach Mhor and The Big Gun, by dropping down the northern face a little. There a path could be found that would actually take us round to the far side of The Big Gun. There was then a fairly easy ascent back on to the ridge, and we could double back on to the summit of the Big Gun from the much easier western side. We might have chose to do that anyway depending on how the ridge looked to us now that we were on it, but with visibility getting worse by the minute, we quickly couldn’t see more than a couple of metres ahead, so settled for the safer route.
The Big Gun and the ridge ahead quickly disappearing in the cloud.
More of our journey along the Eastern Reeks to come in Part 2.

That was a real challenge – and a cliff-hanger, too! I am wondering what your sister thought of this climb since she was I think a relative newcomer to hill-walking. Looking forward to hearing what happened next.
You can be sure I always went for the nice safe option if it was available anyway Jessica. My sister took to it like a duck to water – I had real trouble keeping up with her!

Program Notes: This short piece was written specifically for the Chicago YOURS Project Orchestra (made up of elementary and middle school students) as part of my composition residency with them in August of 2013. Their performance was sans conductor! And I will never forget being at the dress rehearsal: sitting a few chairs away from me was a little boy who was attending the same summer orchestra program, and though he wasn't in the orchestra that was playing Eternal Golden Braid, he was humming along as they played their run-through. He had memorized the melodies just from hearing it down the hallway during rehearsals that week. He was just one of the many incredible young people I met during my residency with YOURS, and I will never forget the kindness and verve of those students.

As a secondary school science teacher, I saw the full range of reactions of young people to my chemistry lessons. Many were engaged and inquisitive, some even enthusiastic! But there were many who were less enthused and apathetic. They didn’t see the point and didn’t think it was for them. I often felt that showing young people how chemistry isused in real life was a great way to increase engagement. Speaking to teachers across the country, this desire to provide more inspiration from outside the classroom for young people inside the classroom is a common thread.
We also know that getting young people to consider careers in science is a challenge. Whichever way you look at it there aren’t as many young people pursuing a career in science as we need, and this is particularly felt in the physical sciences. There have been some positive steps, such as the release of the government’s Careers strategy and the adoption of the Gatsby benchmarks, which give schools and colleges a simple list of benchmarks to assess their careers and enterprise provision.

Every school and college in the country will be offered support to meet these benchmarks through The Careers & Enterprise Company, and they can help in several ways. Speak to your careers leader to see if your school is already engaging with the Careers and Enterprise Company.
1) As a stand-alone subject, eg PHSEE or specific careers education.
2) Through co-curricular activities, such as a STEM clubs.
3) Through specific subjects. eg personal financial planning skills taught in maths, self-presentation skills taught in English. This approach provides career learning and enhances the subject learning, eg by showing how a reaction is used in the real world.
Your school’s careers leader can help deliver as a stand-alone subject, and STEM Learning can support with setting up stem clubs, but it is delivery through specific subjects where there is the most scope in lessons.

The Royal Society of Chemistry provides a useful resource to help highlight some of the different opportunities in chemistry and there are many ways to use it. The A Future in Chemistry case studies highlight the range of different options available in the sector. From flavourist and sports scientist , to founder of a Halal skincare brand there is a huge range of careers that I didn’t know existed!
Starter activities – Use the case studies to introduce topics and set the scene for what you are going to study. For example when teaching chromatography show students the forensic scientist as a starter to get them thinking about what techniques they could use to investigate crimes.
Plenary activities – When studying a particular topic, use a case study to check for learning; for example with acids and alkalis, use the household goods scientist case study. Not only is this a different way to check for learning but it would give young people an understanding of why their learning is relevant to the day-to-day world.
Cross-curricular activities – Careers don’t fit neatly into subject bands, and this is as true in chemistry as any other subject. The case studies link learning to other subjects. Highlight the importance of chemistry to the environment by looking at the work of a sustainability manager or build in communications skills by looking at the work of a science communicator.
All the case studies will help to broaden horizons – the limit really is our imagination.
Download the relevant curriculum links document as a pdf below to discover which case studies fit where.

I've also been putting my scraps to work this week making some mother's day gifts.
It has been a lot of fun playing with all these little squares! I'll show you more on Friday.
I'm glad you're not angry at the quilt anymore. It's too pretty!
Yay for no longer hating the quilt - and for using up little scraps!

Here is a video i came across that i thought might be a cool topic to talk about.
this is a WHOLE episode from "movie magic" TV series from the 90s, this one is mostly about how they made the cat in Hocus Pocus (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107120/) talk and act human like.
Sooo much work went into it back then its unbelievable.
Neat stuff! I love it when he says "Now I'm just going to activate the wireframe display."
Then the display pops up.
I LOVE watching old stuff like this. Makes me SO glad of the stuff we have to play with now, but it also really shows the ingenuity that made so much of what we have now possible.
Also, it's always fun to see how some of these guys used to look. Young John Lasseter!
@dandeentremont: haha yeah didnt half talk a while back then, its just a button now haha.
@EmperorPete: yeah its amazing how its all evolved.
yes, it's pretty much done the same way today, only they usually add fur instead of having a "baked" image, which looks flat.

Randy uses his diverse experience working in the private and public sectors to examine corporate environmental issues from a business position with a panoramic legal perspective.
Environmental law is a natural fit for Randy because it touches upon all aspects of business and the law.
He is a former general counsel for the municipal water agencies of two major cities—Washington, DC and St. Louis, Missouri. From his tenure as the chief legal officer of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) and service as General Counsel of the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD), to his role as Assistant Attorney General for the State of Missouri and time in private practice, Randy brings significant corporate transactional experience to waste and water regulatory compliance, land use permitting, enforcement defense, and environmental litigation.
Randy is a problem solver who thinks strategically and faces new challenges head-on. As a general counsel, he was able to direct utilities through the complicated maze of state and federal regulations to create sustainable consent decrees.
While serving as General Counsel from 2010-2016 of DC Water, Randy managed a legal department of fifteen people and an annual budget of $6 million, while providing representation for all legal matters affecting the utility. From 2000-2010, Randy served as General Counsel of MSD, which provides wastewater collection, treatment, and stormwater management to 1.4 million people in the St. Louis area.
Today, he uses his civil litigation, corporate transactional, regulatory knowledge, and problem-solving skills to assist businesses in environmental concerns, bringing a fresh perspective and nimble approach based on his prior experience.
Randy is part of the Beveridge & Diamond corporate compliance team hired by the Department of Justice to oversee the $30 billion Volkswagen emissions settlement, stemming from its emissions-cheating vehicles. He helps with auditing, monitoring, writing reports, and conducting investigations related to VW’s plea deal with the DOJ.
Because Randy has experience investigating very sensitive matters, clients trust him explicitly with their most difficult and challenging matters of corporate due diligence and compliance.
Randy currently serves as the Co-Chair of the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Minority Trial Lawyer Committee, and he has served in leadership capacities on several bars and community organizations. He also served on the Board of Directors of Washington, DC, and St. Louis Crime Solvers and on the Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors in St. Louis. He is a former radio talk show host for ABC Radio in St. Louis.
The Washington Business Journal presented Randy with its "Minority Business Leader" and "Legal Champion" awards in 2014.

This Festive Wiltshire Dress is the last of the series of projects by the lovely Lewes Sewing Bees. Gill Nicholls has made this gorgeous dress using one of my exclusive Wiltshire fabrics.
I love this dress. It can be worn at the festive drinks parties or for the rest of the year for any special occasion. Gill has certainly got her Christmas drinks party outfit sorted for this year. It has spurred me on to get sewing for my Christmas outfit. Thank you to the lovely Pauline from the studio for modelling it here.
The fabric: This dress is made using my Exclusive Christmas Wiltshire – it works really well with this dress.
The pattern: The dress uses a Vogue pattern V8998. Gill altered the pattern slightly. She raised the back height by around 4 inches and adjusted the collar and zip length.
I love the back of the dress. The back of the collar is very defined and finishes the dress off beautifully.
The dress has a really full skirt so uses a lot of fabric but this makes it perfect for the party season. It can be worn with a pair of trainers to dress it down slightly or with a pair of heels for an evening out.
Sarah from the studio has also been modelling this gorgeous dress.
The collar looks especially great in the picture below. It gives the dress quite a classic feel.
I have loved working with the Lewes Sewing Bees on this summer series of blog posts and projects. To have such talented ladies sewing with my Liberty exclusive fabrics has been wonderful. I hope that it has given you some sewing inspiration. Thank you Gill for this gorgeous dress and thank you Bees for a summer series of inspiring projects.

It doesn't look like there are any Hedgehog Small & Furry for Sale and for Adoption that match all of your small and furry animal search criteria. My Pets Cloud has a lot of small & furry listed for sale or for adoption on but some breeds/locations might be a rare find. You might get a better luck if you broaden your search.

Our disposable lifestyle is something that we need to reconsider.
Meissens organization, Palmetto Ocean Conservancy's logo.
Plastic is in most things that we use in our daily lives, such as phones and cars. No matter where we go there seems to always be some sort of plastic. Even though it’s convenient to use, it has the potential to do a lot of damage to the environment.
A lot of the plastic we use ends up in the oceans and harms marine life. Birds and fish are often found with stomachs full of plastic shards that basically starved them because it made them feel full.
According to biologicaldiversity.org, at the current rate humans are using plastic, it will outweigh all the fish in the sea by 2050.
Humans use plastic all the time such as using plastic bags for groceries and takeout food. Our garbage bags and sandwich bags contribute as well to the huge number of plastic bags in the environment. Plastic is even in clothing and sheets.
Do you know what happens after balloons are released at football games, family gatherings, and celebrations? The balloons come back down and end up in oceans, plains, and essentially in the stomachs of wildlife. There have been cases of horses dying due to eating balloons that pop and land where they eat. This just adds to the number of toxic things in most animals’ systems.
In a school setting, plastic is used for almost everything in the cafeteria. Plastic trays, cups, and cutlery end up in the trash cans every day in large amounts. The drinks from vending machines and from the cafeteria also contribute to the amount of plastic that gets thrown away every day by PLHS.
Schools have programs and clubs to help with recycling, but ultimately the best solution to the problem would be to use more reusable things.
Lately, reusable water bottles have been popular among teenagers which helps to reduce the amount of single use plastics thrown away every day in a school setting.
Recycling helps, but things still end up in the ocean and other places just waiting to be eaten by an unsuspecting hungry animal.
Some people actively work hard to lessen their plastic footprint on the environment. Michelle Meissen, an advocate for Palmetto Ocean Conservancy, fights for less use of plastic every day and has cut down the amount of plastic she uses in her daily life.
“I use reusable water bottles [and] wax paper items instead of plastic cling [wrap],” Meissen said.
She, like the majority of people, is aware of the amount of plastic used to make disposable items, or single use plastic items. She decided to do something about this and use reusable alternatives.
“It’s not an easy process, everything is wrapped, stored, or lined in plastic,” Meissen said.
Part of the problem is leadership in office. Pollution and global littering are pushed to the side, being put away for the next person to deal with.
“We need to vote for a political leader that sees the environmental issues at hand and does something about it,” Meissen said.
There are many things that people can do to reduce their use of plastic and other things daily. One option is to use reusable bags instead of plastic single use ones.
“It’s about reprogramming our disposable lifestyle,” Meissen said. “[I use] bar shampoo/conditioner instead of shampoo/conditioner in plastic containers”.
If people around the world would reduce their plastic use, it would benefit everyone around them, including animals who get caught in the crossfires of littering and pollution.
“We must expand our minds and see the cause and effect it’s having on our environment and choose to do our best to conserve and protect,” Meissen said.
Palmetto Ocean Conservancy is a non-profit organization that works to preserve and protect the ocean from all things deemed harmful. The organization puts together beach clean-ups and fundraisers.
“My vision is to expand my organization by reaching out to the public to educate our children on marine life and the going war or pollution,” Meissen said.
Palmetto Ocean Conservancy will soon be changing its name to Guardians of the Sea, as it’s a more global name that portrays the organizations goal of protecting the oceans.
Students at PLHS should take note of the work that Meissen and her organization are doing to better the Earth, and consider incorporating these changes in their own lives. What may be a minor inconvenience to us, could mean the life of an animal, and as fellow creatures, it is our duty to sacrifice our consumption of these deadly plastics for the betterment of all.

1. Finish the rewrite on my novel.
2. Take a picture every day about my word for 2017, Love. Share the pictures on Instagram.
For 30 days I wondered, will I be able to find evidence of love today? Something picture-worthy? Where? How? When?
And every day I’d catch a glimpse of something and feel a little nudge inside my heart.
Three days later, I read through the edit and discovered I have some more work to do.
I need to go deeper.
One of my characters hasn’t completely opened her heart to me.
Feeling discouraged, I dumped out the pages on my desk and had a good talk with myself.
Why is this novel so important to me? Why am I writing it?
I write for the same reason I took 30 pictures.
Love for my characters. Love for my readers. Love for God.
I write because I love. And love is stronger than discouragement. Click to tweet.
The next morning I lit my candles, knelt beside my desk, and prayed a simple prayer.
Lord, I need You. Will You pour Your love through me today?
Each one of you means so much to me. Thank you for your friendship and for giving me grace with the blog. I’ll be back the first Wednesday in August.
Last week, a friend and I discussed life and death and heaven. I didn’t handle it very well.
She’d memorized a lot of Scripture as a child. She knew about the cross and the Easter story.
We talked a while longer–until I got an uncomfortable feeling in my chest.
It’s not my job to change her mind.
After our Easter conversation, a gentle thought came.
I should’ve agreed with her.
Death DOES look like the end. It looked like the end–even to Mary and the disciples.
Almost nothing Jesus did made sense.
He fed 5,000+ with a little boy’s lunch.
He walked on water and turned water into wine.
But faith goes beyond logic.
Turn your speakers on high and listen to this song. It’s what Easter is all about.
Thoughts? Questions? Want to comment and start a conversation?
Yesterday morning at our porch party, everything seemed topsy-turvy. A storm had blown through the day before. I’d received weather alert texts, and the dogs and I stayed in the basement for a while. At the same time, parts of Tennessee were being destroyed by wild fires–so many homes and businesses burned to the ground.
So much devastation and loss and chaos.
And this was just our area of the world.
My husband sat down on the porch, and I started cleaning up the mess from the storm. My little white Christmas tree had blown over. I found a pine cone ornament in the corner behind my rocking chair.
The tiny trees on my grandmother’s table were upside down.
The angel on the table beside the door had flipped over, as if she’d buried her face in the ground.
I thought about families waking up after the fire, and prayer requests from some of you and from our friends and family.
But I wasn’t ready to pray. Not yet. I wanted to make sense of everything first.
Me thinking too much, the bad overshadowing the good, at least in my mind.
This is heavy stuff, Lord. So many needs. So many are hurting.
Just then Clyde, our Labrador, climbed the front porch steps with a pumpkin in his mouth. I’d thrown it away in the woods beside our house–so far back, I didn’t think he could possibly find it.
That’s just what we need. A pumpkin or our porch in December.
He plopped it at our feet as though he’d retrieved a duck.
Right then, something shifted inside me. Rick had spoken words of praise even though the situation hadn’t called for it. What he said touched a placed in my heart. I remembered a Scripture.
1. We’re supposed to be thankful–in all circumstances.
2. Our emotions are a breath away from each other–so close, they’re almost touching.
Fear cowers inches from Faith. Discouragement trembles at heels of Hope. Click to tweet.
Now I was ready to pray.
We thanked God for His faithfulness and for being God. We prayed for the families waking up after the fire. And for you. For friends and family members. For so many who are hurting.
We said “amen,” and I hung the ornament back on the tree.
I stood the angel in place.
But I left the pumpkin under the Christmas tree as a reminder.
Praising God when things don’t make sense is the right thing to do. Always. Click to tweet.
Are there situations in your life right now that don’t make sense? Are you close to giving up hope? Want to share them with our group? We’ll pray.
This past Monday, I shared my secret with a close friend.
Ten years ago, I had a vision to become a novelist. My motives were pure. I wanted to write stories that were beautiful and real and full of hope. But something happened along the way. My motives got all tangled up.
What started out good became an idol.
I wanted to impress people. Write a bestseller. Be Somebody.
And I believed a lie. I thought I had to earn God’s love.
After writing four and a half novels (with multiple rewrites–probably a million words), I’d lost my joy. I dreaded climbing the 13 steps to my office.
She gave me a verse of Scripture I’d memorized as a child but never understood.
“Take my yoke upon you, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:29.
Rest? I had work to do.
Wait? I had to hurry up and finish. I couldn’t risk being a failure.
The next morning, I wrote pages and pages in my prayer journal. Gut-level honest prayers. Another Scripture found me.
Defeated, I climbed the mile-high stairs one more time.
I didn’t want to touch my desk or my chair, so I knelt in the floor of my office and turned on some praise music. For a long time, I just breathed.
If His love was based on my performance, I’d blown it.
While I was kneeling, God showed up.
He didn’t turn away in disgust. He performed heart surgery and cleaned out all the darkness and lies. When He finished, it seemed He suggested the unthinkable.
Are you willing to let go of your novel?
I hesitated. One…two…three…four…five long seconds.
Yes, but how could You ask me to do this?
How could I tell Him no? He’d forgiven me of so much.
With trembling fingers, I removed all my notes and pictures from my whiteboard–everything I’d thought would make me Somebody.
I put them at the foot of the cross–the one my husband made 40 years ago.
Lord, it’s yours. I’m yours. If You want to resurrect my dream, You can. If not, I trust You.
I stared at my spotless whiteboard.
A new vision rose up.
My heart felt full and still. Peaceful.
What if I start small? If You’ll show me one person each day to encourage, I’ll do it.
I didn’t have to wait long. The first encounter happened the next day–the lady behind the deli counter.
I thought my word for 2016–DANCE — meant I’d finally be Somebody. But dancing means living in rhythm with Jesus.
Are you experiencing the death of dream? There’s Life on the other side. Click to tweet.

Last week, my post was light and airy and funny. Today’s different. It’s about clinical depression. If you’re struggling with it now, or if you know someone who is, I’m writing to you straight from my heart.
Because there’s hope. And help. And healing.
Clinical depression feels like the emotional flu.
You wonder if you’ve been dropped off in a strange, unfamiliar world–a place without color, or taste, or seasons. Without joy or anticipation. And you only experience one emotion. FEAR.
The worst part–you think maybe God’s forgotten you.
Sort of like a certain tree in our yard. This morning, I noticed her dangling leaves, her thin, fragile arms.
I could relate. I used to be like this tree.
The first time depression hit, I was 34. I wrote about it here. After stumbling my way out, I thought, Whew. Glad that’s over. Maybe it’ll never happen again.
But it did. In 2012. Almost twenty years later.
Both times, I prayed to get better quickly and quietly. On my own. Without help. So no one would find out. I was afraid I’d lost myself–-the real me–and that I’d never find my way back home.
Remember the little tree in our yard?
With her on my mind, I drove through our neighborhood and noticed all sorts of trees. This one is small, but to me, her leaves are sparkling rubies.
You begin sleeping and eating and sometimes even laughing. You’re still afraid to glance over your shoulder at the minefield where you’ve been, but that’s okay. Baby steps. You’re learning to be gentle with yourself. To love yourself.
You look in the mirror and there you are! Strong and tall. A tree full of leaves!
With God’s help, and medication, and prayer, and caring friends and family, I’ve been restored twice.
I’m so grateful. How could I keep this secret to myself?
My second depression story will appear in December Guideposts, “A Sliver of Light.” If you read it, here’s a P.S. I didn’t stop writing in 2012. I took a break, finished the novel, and signed with a literary agent. 🙂 I share a little more of what happened in this video below. If you can’t see it, click here.
If this post hits home, don’t keep it a secret. Get help. Today. If you know someone who’s struggling with depression, please forward my blog link.
Sometimes I’m drawn to the most insignificant things. I’ll see something and feel a quickening in my spirit. It happened a few weeks ago–all because of a Caladium–a pink and green plant I bought this spring.
First time I’d ever had a Caladium. I named her Callie.
In August, Callie’s leaves started drooping.
That’s when the PAY ATTENTION feeling came.
Maybe because Callie reminded me of things I’d been praying about for a long time and nothing had changed.
A situation with one of my children.
Based on how long I’ve been praying, I should probably give up.
But I didn’t want to give up on Callie.
I googled how to grow Caladiums. I watered and fertilized her. Brought her inside during the heat of the day.
In September, I noticed a gorgeous Caladium outside a store in a giant clay pot so I gave Callie a bigger home.
I called my brother Jeremy, who knows about plants.
“Caladiums are like Elephant ears,” he said.
Performing surgery on Callie, I spotted one tender sprout near the black soil.
She was small, but she was alive and well.
I did what Jeremy said–I cut off everything that was dead.
And focused on all that was living.
Yesterday, after a heavy rain, Callie stood a little taller and raised her face toward the sun.
That’s when the message came.
If you’ve been praying about something for a long, long time, I understand. And I care. Don’t give up.
I think sometimes God arranges friendships in heaven. That’s what happened with my friend DiAnn Mills and me. Our paths would never have crossed if it weren’t for His Divine Intervention.
Years ago, I taught writing at a conference in Texas. It was the first time I’d flown out-of-town to teach.
I felt like a poser. A wannabe. Full of insecurity.
The night I arrived, the entire faculty circled to pray.
That was the beginning of our Divine Friendship.
Last week, I flew to Houston to visit her.
In a land where all things are possible.
Since DiAnn and I are writers, we chose outfits for our characters.
And the signs–oh, the signs!
Surrounded by creativity, each message seemed to come from God.
She found this beautiful shirt.
And I got this one.
Friday afternoon, we noticed the primrose blooming near her pool.
That’s when I started thinking about our friendship.
What qualities have you noticed about Divine Friendships?
P.S. This happened last year at DiAnn’s.
Every now and then, someone comes along and rearranges my thinking. It happened again this weekend.
I’ve been following Vicky Westra’s blog, The Westra World, for a couple of years. Although we’ve never met, each time I read her words, they squeeze my heart–that soft place inside where God lives.
Vicky writes about faith and fear. And courage.
She considers each day a miracle.
Recently, a few of Vicky’s friends did a fundraiser in her honor. They crafted door-prizes and selected five winners.
When I made my small contribution, I never expected to win. I was randomly chosen. I couldn’t believe it.
For sure, I never expected to win a life-changing gift.
Saturday morning, my prize basket arrived.
From someone I’d never met.
In honor of Vicky in Minnesota.
A state I’d never visited.
I spread everything on the floor around me. Books! Coffee! Music! My favorite things!
Immediately, I was drawn into Bob Goff’s book, Love Does.
The kind of reading where you forget to breathe.
It’s all about love without limits.
The same way Vicky writes and lives her life–the same kind of love her friends have.
The first song on the Selah CD, “You Amaze Us,” shares the same love message.
Of course, it’s not about the gift I gave.
It’s about the unexpected, unforgettable, life-changing love I received in return.
“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put in your lap, “ Luke 6:38 ESV.
Have you ever had life-changing love rearrange your thinking?
This past Friday after reading ATLAS GIRL: Finding Home in the Last Place I Thought to Look, by Emily T Wierenga, I sat on the steps that lead to my office. Thinking. Praying.
Completely blown away by Emily’s memoir.
I’m honored to be part of a blog tour to share the news of ATLAS GIRL, but for me, the book was so much more than that.
Staring at the cover, I remembered my own childhood–those family shaped places in my heart that sometimes still throb.
Growing up, I tried to hold our world together. I tried to hold us together.
In March of 1968, my mother gave birth to twin boys. My sister and I were thrilled. We’d each have our own baby to feed and dress–what fun!
But nothing stays the same for very long, does it?
If I try hard enough, I can fix my family.
Be smart enough to impress my busy father.
I had no clue our family would break in almost every possible way.
When my brothers were 15, Daddy died with a brain tumor. There was a suicide attempt, mental illness, homelessness, prison, and addictions. When I was 34, I broke. I couldn’t hold my world together any longer. I experienced clinical depression and wrote about it here for Guideposts.
So this past Friday afternoon, I sat on the steps thinking.
Emily’s memoir is real and raw, and yet there’s hope and healing too.
Flipping through the pages, I re-read something I’d underlined.
Are somehow part of God’s bigger better picture?
Thank You, Lord. You’ve got the whole wide world in Your hands.
So I can keep letting go.
Emily T. Wierenga, award-winning journalist and author of 4 books, has released her first memoir, Atlas Girl: Finding Home in the Last Place I Thought to Look. You can grab a copy here.
ALL proceeds from Atlas Girl will go to Emily’s non-profit, The Lulu Tree. The Lulu Tree is dedicated to preventing tomorrow’s orphans by equipping today’s mothers. It is a grassroots organization bringing healing and hope to women and children in the slums of Uganda through the arts, community, and the gospel.

Hōkūleʻa crewmembers on the 14th leg of the Worldwide Voyage received a warm welcome upon reaching the island nation of Mauritius. The stop was a critical waypoint on the dangerous Indian Ocean leg of the Worldwide Voyage.
Outrigger Resorts, a homegrown family company headquartered in Hawai’i, is a key sponsor of the Worldwide Voyage. Bitsy Kelley, vice president of corporate communications at Outrigger Enterprises Group, was on the dock in Honolulu for the launch of the Worldwide Voyage in May of 2014 and was excited to have the Hōkūleʻa’s crew enjoying some much deserved R&R at the Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort. While on the island, Hōkūleʻa crew re-provisioned with the support of the resort, preparing for the next portion of the sail plan: South Africa.
“Since we set out on our own global expansion, one of our primary goals was to be authentic ambassadors of aloha in every country we’re located in,” said Kelley. “We’re proud to be able to share the story of Hōkūleʻa and the Polynesian Voyaging Society’s mission of navigating toward a healthy and sustainable future with our guests and the community.” The voyage’s goal of educating the world’s community about preserving our natural resources also ties in beautifully with Outrigger Resorts’ global coral health and conservation program, OZONE (Outrigger’s zone).
During their time in Mauritius, Worldwide Voyage crewmembers reached out to the community, offering educational opportunities on traditional Polynesian non-instrument wayfinding and built relationships with the local marine conservation community. The crew was excited to learn about and share stories of hope with local dignitaries and community leaders in service of the voyage’s Mālama Honua mission–caring for our Island Earth.

Ornette Coleman’s partnership with Don Cherry had in the frontline formed by John Zorn and Dave Douglas in the band Masada a welcomed heritage. Now is Cortex’s turn to continue that lineage concerning the interactive work between an alto alto and baritone (Kristoffer Alberts) and a trumpet (or, in the case of Thomas Johansson, a cornet). With double bassist Ola Høyer and drummer Gard Nilssen, these four Norwegian musicians are notable representatives of a new generation of Scandinavian jazzmen who are refreshing the scene at the same time they’re preserving the identity of a music idiom subjected to many changes in its worldwide evolution, either gaining local colors or mixing with other genres and styles. Cortex plays new jazz with the tools and forms of the old one. More exactly: this quartet practices a creative, exploratory jazz concept with the patine of the former years of free jazz, when the bop matrix was very much in evidence. Like in those times, the music in “Live!” is specially intense and powerful, with an “in-your-face” attitude never giving us a moment of rest. At the end of the album, we’re not tired. It’s the other way around: we get energized and joyful, ready for what’s coming next.
The band's music is clearly inspired by the American avantgarde jazz of the 60s and 70s, with giants like Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman and John Zorn looming in the shadows.

The Bayreuth Festspielhaus (Bayreuth Festival Theatre) is an opera house in the town of Bayreuth, Germany. The German opera composer Richard Wagner got the opera house built so that his own music could be performed properly. He had lots of ideas about how opera should be performed, and he thought that there was no opera house in Germany that was good enough for performances of his operas. Today it is still the place where every year there is a festival, the Bayreuth Festival, which is dedicated only to the operas of Richard Wagner.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria was a great admirer of Richard Wagner and he gave a lot of money for the opera house to be built. Wagner watched the construction all the time and made sure that everything was built in the way he wanted. Work on the building started on 22 May 1872 (Wagner's birthday), and it was ready four years later when, for the first time, all four operas which make up the cycle called Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), were performed.
The opera house is big enough for an audience of 1,925. One unusual thing is the orchestra pit, which is right under the stage, covered by a hood, so that the orchestra cannot be seen at all by the audience. Wagner wanted the audience to be able to concentrate properly on the action on the stage instead of being distracted by watching the orchestra. It makes it very difficult for the orchestra and the singers to be together, and conductors have to get used to the problem.
The Festspielhaus also has a double proscenium, which makes it look as if the stage is farther away than it actually is.

Patients who are too frail to survive open-heart surgery have a new option — a heart valve that can be inserted through tiny catheters guided through an artery.
For most of her 91 years, Luc Tran has enjoyed good health.
She and her husband immigrated to the United States in 1975 to escape political persecution after the Vietnam War. She finds joy in spending time with her eight children and their extended families. She is active in her church.
Two years ago, Tran began slowing down. She lost her appetite. Already a petite 4 feet 11 inches tall, her weight dropped to 64 pounds.
Tests revealed Tran had developed fluid in her lungs. Her cardiologist, Irena Stolar, M.D., diagnosed her with aortic valve stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve that reduces blood flow from the heart to the body.
Dr. Stolar referred her to Wasif Qureshi, M.D., an interventional cardiologist at Christiana Care’s Center for Heart & Vascular Health, the only center in the region that integrates cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, vascular interventional radiology, cardiology and interventional nephrology under one roof.
“Replacing the valve was the only way that we could get her well,” Dr. Qureshi said.
Tran was too frail for open heart surgery. But with a positive attitude and a supportive family, she was a candidate for transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR, an innovative, minimally invasive procedure in which a new valve is placed inside the narrowed valve via a catheter guided through the artery.
Since 2011, Christiana Care’s heart team has implanted more than 500 TAVR valves, more than any other health system in Delaware.
TAVR is approved for patients considered at medium or high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement or those who are considered inoperable by the heart team. Most patients are in their 80s or older.
Dr. Qureshi and his team take a compassionate, patient-centered approach to care, encouraging patients to involve loved ones in the process.
Throughout the process, Tran’s daughter served as her devoted advocate. Kim Tran, RPh, MBA, is program director of Christiana Care Metabolic Health Services and Weight Management Center.
As little as five years ago, Tran would not have been a candidate for TAVR because she is so tiny. But as the valves improve, more patients can be successfully treated.
“It’s a slicker valve that can go through smaller arteries,” Dr. Qureshi said.
Tran had her valve implant on Aug. 23, 2017. Her improvement was remarkable.
“When she came out of anesthesia, she was hungry,” her daughter recalls.
Two days after the procedure, she was discharged from the hospital to the home she shares with her daughter’s family. Her children gathered from all over the country to welcome her.
Six hours after she arrived home, Tran’s husband of 71 years died after years of declining health.
Two weeks later, Tran was strong enough to walk in her husband’s funeral procession.
Since then, she continues to improve. She completed her Christiana Care Cardiac Rehabilitation program, and goes to physical therapy two days a week. She has gained weight, cooking her favorite meal of salmon and white rice. She goes to prayer group at her church. She has fun shopping and visiting the beach. And she is traveling again to visit family, dancing with her great grandson at a wedding.

Together with the US government, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine will launch in the near future a two-year program of financing consulting services to reform the Ukrainian customs totaling 4 million US dollars.
This is published on the website of the Ministry of Finance.
"We believe that the involvement of international advisors with impeccable reputation and extensive experience in managing and reforming the customs checkpoints in other countries will help us to dramatically increase the level of honesty and expertise of customs personnel in Ukraine", - Natalia Jaresko, the Minister of Finance, commented on the subject.
It is also stated that the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance is actively working on the introduction of institutional changes that will significantly improve the quality of public services to citizens and businesses, eliminate the possibility of subjectivity and corruption, first of all in the State Fiscal Service. In line with this policy, on February 11, 2016 the Cabinet of Ministers approved the Concept of attracting international companies (advisors) to reform the customs of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine.
The aim of this step is to improve and simplify customs clearance procedures at selected customs checkpoints on the common border of Ukraine and the EU. The Concept outlines the main objectives, goals, stages of selecting international advisors and the criteria to be met by the applying company.

And so another two weeks passed. Then, one day, a comet of amazing brilliancy shot suddenly into our social orbit, and things happened. That this interesting stellar phenomenon was a Russian grand duke, a nephew of the Czar, but added to the piquancy of the situation.
The rumor flew rapidly along the verandas. It was denied by the head waiter, it was confirmed by the chief clerk; it was referred to the manager himself and again confirmed. Alas, it was true! The Grand Duke Alexander was coming, not to honor the hotel, but to honor Mrs. Carmichael Porter; she would receive him as her guest, she would pay the royal hotel bill, she would pay the bills of the royal suite. Yes, Blakely’s mother had captured the grand duke.
A wave of indignation swept the columns of the rank and file. They didn’t want the grand duke themselves, but they didn’t want Blakely’s mother to have him; Blakely’s mother and Mrs. Sanderson- Spear, and Mrs. Tudor Carstairs. In a way, it was better than a comic opera; it was fearfully amusing.
The grand duke, accompanied, according to the newspapers, “by the Royal Suite and the Choicest Flower of San Francisco Society,” arrived on a special train direct from Del Monte. Having captured a grand duke, these “Choicest Flowers” (ten in number) were loath to lose him, so they accompanied him. They did more; they paid for the special train. Blakely’s mother greeted them, one and all, in a most friendly manner. There was an aristocratic air about the whole proceeding that was distinctly uplifting.
And now began a round of gaieties, the first being a tea were real Russian samovars were in evidence, and sandwiches of real Russian caviar were served. Real Russian cigarettes were smoked, real Russian vodka was sipped; the Czar’s health was drunk; no bombs were thrown, no bonds were offered for sale, the Russian loan was not discussed; the Japanese servants were not present, having been given a half holiday. Oh, it was a little triumph, that tea! Blakely’s mother was showered with congratulations. The “Choicest Flowers” vied with one another in assurances of their distinguished approval.
Indeed, they were all crazy about it—except the grand duke. Blakely said the grand duke was bored to death, and that he had led him off to the bar and given him a whisky-and-soda out of sheer pity. From that time on the duke stuck to him like a postage stamp, so that Blakely had an awful time escaping that night to dine with Dad and me. He told us all about the tea at dinner, and I was surprised to learn (I hadn’t seen him yet) that the duke was just Blakely’s age, and, as Blakely put it, “a very decent sort.” Not that there is any reason why a grand duke shouldn’t be a decent sort, but Rumor was busy just then proclaiming that this particular grand duke was a perfect pig.
The next day I had a chance to judge for myself. It seems the duke noticed me as I got into my automobile for my morning ride, and after finding out who I was, sent for Blakely and demanded that I be presented to him.
Blakely was awfully angry. He said: “Look here, I don’t know what you’ve been used to, but in this country, where a man wishes to meet a young lady, he asks to be presented to her. Not only that, but he doesn’t take it for granted that she’ll be honored by the request. Miss Middleton is my fiancee. I don’t know whether she cares to meet you or not. If she does, I’ll let you know.” The duke was terribly mortified. He apologized beautifully.
Then Blakely apologized for getting angry, and they became better friends than ever, with the result that the duke was presented to me that very afternoon.
The Grand Duke Alexander was short and fat and fair, with a yellow mustache of the Kaiser Wilhelm variety. It was rather a shock to me, for I had expected a dashing black-haired person with flashing eyes and a commanding presence. No, he wasn’t at all my idea of what a grand duke should look like; he looked much more like a little brother to the ox (a well-bred, well-dressed, bath-loving little brother, of course) than a member of an imperial family. Not that he didn’t have his points: he had nice hands and nice feet, and his smile was charming.
You should have seen his face light up when he found I spoke French. The poor fellow wasn’t a bit at home in the English language and the eagerness with which he plunged into French was really pathetic. Luckily, Blakely spoke French, too—not very well, but he understood it lots better than he spoke it—so we three spent a pleasant hour together on the veranda. Of course, in a way, it was a little triumph for me; the women whom Blakely’s mother had snubbed enjoyed the sight immensely, and when she appeared, accompanied by Mrs. Sanderson-Spear and some of the “Choicest Flowers,” and saw what was happening to her duke, she was too angry for words. Heavens, how that woman did hate me that afternoon!
The next morning six more “Choicest Flowers” arrived from San Francisco (rare orchids whose grandfathers had come over from Ireland in the steerage). The third son of an English baronet who owned a chicken-ranch near Los Angeles and a German count who sold Rhine wines to the best families also appeared; for that night Blakely’s mother was to give such a dinner as had never before been given in Santa Barbara.
an enterprising Los Angeles newspaper devoted a whole page to the coming event. Adjective was piled on adjective, split infinitive on split infinitive. The dinner was to be given in the ballroom of the hotel…. The bank accounts of the assembled guests would total $4oo,ooo,ooo…. The terrapin had been specially imported from Baltimore…. The decorations were to be magnificent beyond the wildest dream…. The duke was to sit on the right of his hostess…. Mr. Sanderson-Spear, the Pierpont Morgan of Pennsylvania, who would arrive that morning from Pittsburg in his private car, would sit on her left…. Count Boris Beljaski, intimate friend and traveling companion of the grand duke, would appear in the uniform of the imperial guard…. The Baroness Reinstadt was hurrying from San Diego, in her automobile…. As a winter resort, Santa Barbara was, as usual, eclipsing Florida, etc.,… Blakely and I read the paper together; we laughed over it till we cried.
At a quarter to four I received a note from Blakely saying it would be impossible for him to come in to tea as he had planned. It was the first time he had ever broken an engagement with me, and I was a wee bit unhappy over it, though I knew, of course, there must be some good reason why he couldn’t come. Still, his absence rather put me out of humor with tea, so I sent Valentine for a box of chocolates. When she returned I sat down with them and a novel, prepared to spend the rest of the afternoon alone.
The novel wasn’t half as silly as some I’ve read—the hero reminded me of Blakely—and the chocolates were unusually good; I was having a much better time than I had expected. Then some one knocked at the door.
The knock, was repeated. It suddenly occurred to me that maybe Blakely had changed his plans and had come for tea after all.
The door opened slowly, and there, standing on the threshold, was— Had I gone quite mad? I rose from my chair and stared unbelievingly- -at Blakely’s mother.
“May I come in?” she asked in her even, well-bred voice.
Closing the door behind her, she walked over to the fireplace.
I didn’t understand at all, and her manner of saying I did made me furious.
She eyed me intently. How cold and determined she looked and how handsome she was.
She handed me a letter. “Please read that,” she said.
“I will telegraph him myself,” I said.
“He has but used my own weapons against me,” she remarked thoughtfully.
“Your weapons are quite unworthy of him, Mrs. Porter.” “The telegram must be dispatched at once,” she announced, glancing impatiently at her watch.
“If you will call the office and ask them to send up a boy with some forms, I will think over what I wish to say,” I said.
I wrote it out on a form and handed it to Mrs. Porter. “Will that do?” I asked.
Still she did not go. I realized her predicament, and was childish enough to enjoy it, for Blakely’s mother could not bear to accept a favor from a social inferior. Had I been a child, she would have patted me on the head and presented me with a sugar plum. As matters stood she was quite at sea; she wished to do something gracious—she didn’t know how.
To make her position more impossible, who should come stalking into the room but Dad,—dear, unsuspecting Dad. When he saw Mrs. Porter he immediately jumped at a whole row of conclusions.
Dad beamed on us both.
Blakely’s mother who had been standing like one in a dream, now woke up.
“If either of you fails me it will make me most unhappy” she said, and there was a note of sincerity, in her voice that was unmistakable.

ZEISS Lenses for SLR Cameras.
The manually focusable ZEISS SLR lenses are available with EF bayonet (ZE), F bayonet (ZF.2), K bayonet (ZK) and the M42 screw threads (ZS). The possibilities of using scene programs, different types of exposure metering and individualized functions can be varied depending on the camera model.
SLR lenses with F bayonet mount for cameras from Nikon*.
ZF.2 lenses support all key modes (e.g. aperture priority, shutter priority, program AE or manual exposure settings) on camera models equipped with an electronic interface (e.g. current Nikon DSLR cameras). To do so, simply lock the aperture ring in the largest f-stop (e.g. 16) shown in orange. On camera models without an electronic interface, the aperture is manually set on the lens aperture ring. With some camera models, it is possible to set in the menu whether the lens should be selected using the setting dial on the camera or the aperture ring on the lens. Please note that, for technical reasons, there is no halfway notch between the largest (e.g. 16) and second largest (e.g. 11) f-stop. The focused distance is not transmitted to the camera body.
For details regarding metering modes and further functions, please check the camera´s manual. The ZF.2 lenses accord to the Nikon AI-P standard (manual focus lenses with CPU).
The table only takes well-known camera models with F bayonet since 1959 into consideration.
Lenses equipped with an EF bayonet for EOS cameras from Canon*.
The manually focusable ZE lenses (for EF mount) feature electronic shutter control and additional electronic contacts to the camera. All existing exposure programs (P, AV, TV, M) and the AF confirmation function of the camera are supported; lens information (focal length and speed) is passed on to the camera. Certain functions that require the use of AF lenses (various scene modes, A-DEP) are partially unavailable.
ZE lenses are compatible with the EOS camera bodies listed here, and further cameras with EF mount (e.g. cameras for cinematography). When using adapters with electronic contacts on cameras with a different mount (e.g. mirrorless system cameras, cine cameras), we cannot guarantee for the compatibility and functionality of ZE lenses. Therefore, the compatibility specifications of the adapter and the camera manufacturers have to be followed. Using ZE lenses with an adapter is at your own risk. Defects on the lens, the camera or the adapter caused by the use of an inappropriate adapter or by improper use will not be covered by our manufacturer´s warranty.
The chart only incorporates the widely used camera models with an EF bayonet since 1987.
SLR lenses with K bayonet mount for cameras from Pentax.
The manually focusable ZK lenses (for K mount) correspond with the KA standard. Additionally to the mechanic aperture coupling the lenses are equipped with an electronic contact pin. Furthermore, the aperture ring can be locked to the automatic mode (green “A”). Thus, all different exposure control settings (time, aperture and program mode) are possible with these camera models.
The table only takes well-known camera models with Pentax K bayonet since 1975 into consideration.
SLR lenses for M-42 screw thread.
The manually focusable ZS lenses (for M-42 screw thread) are equipped with a push pin in order to close the aperture. Furthermore, they are equipped with a locking switch to change from manual to automatic aperture control. Due to this, the lens can be comfortably stopped down to working aperture when used with an adapter. The aperture priority can be used as well.
SLR lenses with F bayonet mount for cameras from Nikon.
The manually focusable ZF lenses (for F mount) are equipped with the AI aperture coupling as well as the pre AI coupling. They do not include CPU coupling. Due to this, exposure metering and control is possible with all corresponding camera models. Used with camera models without AI or fork coupling the aperture is closed to the pre-selected value, but metering and automatic aperture control is not possible.

We do it an average of 12 to 20 times per minute — often without even giving it a second thought. And yet, if we were to stop it for even a mere 4 to 6 minutes, not only would we be on the cusp of brain damage, but we probably wouldn’t be alive to finish reading this article. What is it that I’m talking about? Well, you can stop holding your breath…and breathe — because that’s what I’m talking about: BREATHING.
We all know that breathing (air that is) is fundamental for our very existence. It supplies our body with the primary “food” of oxygen for each and every one of our 75 trillion cells. There’s no arguing the importance of breathing, we’ve all pretty much accepted it. What’s surprising, however, is that many of us are doing it wrong.
A quick glance through an anatomy book will show you that we have many muscles that are associated with breathing — more that twenty. Most of these muscles, however, are designated as “accessory” breathing muscles (the scalenes are a good example). That is they are called upon when needed to assist the primary breathing muscles (namely the diaphragm, intercostals, and abdominal muscles) during times of increased demand, such as the heavy exertion of running, when the nervous system is stressed, or when we are thrown into a “fight or flight” situation. When they’re not lending a hand with breathing, many of these accessory breathing muscles have primary jobs of their own, such as turning and bending the neck, and almost all of them play a part in maintaining our body’s posture.
So how is it that we are breathing wrong? It’s primarily and issue of “role reversal.” Instead of utilizing our primary breathing muscles and breathing from our bellies, we are calling upon many of our accessory breathing muscles to step in “full time,” and thus we end of breathing from our upper chests. This translates into very shallow breathing which is a very inefficient use of our lung capacity — about an 80% reduction. Consequently, we breathe more rapidly, as we do when we are under stress, and this in turn tenses our muscles and adds to our overall stress level. So, not only are we robing our bodies of sufficient oxygen, but we are also over-stressing our accessory breathing muscles, which, from a chiropractic perspective, will have an adverse effect on our posture and the tension it places on our spine, muscles, and nervous system. Ultimately, faulty breathing patterns such as this can be the generation point of many chronic, painful musculoskeletal problems. Calling upon our accessory muscles to step in for our primary breathing muscles is a lot like relying on that thin spare tire that most of us have in our cars as one of tires we would use everyday — it’s just not fit for the job.
You may be wondering what causes this “role reversal” and if there’s anything you can do about it. As for the cause, I haven’t come across a solid connection in my readings; however, most authors tend to link it with a major stressful event or injury — some even from the birth process itself. Having the “wind knocked out of you,” as one author stated, can disrupt your breathing rhythm and may end up manifesting itself as a restriction of breathing that is programmed into your nerves and muscles. Other authors have made mention of the typical upper chest breathing patterns that were seen in mid-19th century women because of the corsets on the lower part of the chest that were worn. Perhaps tight, restrictive clothing is still a culprit in today’s age.
Regardless our particular cause, we can “teach” ourselves to breathe correctly. It may not come easily at first, but with patience and persistence the benefits will definitely be worth it. Not only will you reduce your stress, muscle tension, pain, and poor posture, but, more importantly, you will be feeding your body more air! In essence you will be giving your body more life!
Before I teach you the exercise that will help you train yourself to breathe correctly, you need to know intellectually how proper breathing works. Your lungs, which contain no muscle, sit inside of the chest cavity. At the bottom of the cavity is a large, dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm (your primary breathing muscle). When you breathe in, the diaphragm is pulled down. While this is happening your stomach and other digestive organs have to make room by also moving down, and this is allowed to happen by your abdominal muscles moving out. So in other words, when breathing in your belly goes out and diaphragm and internal organs go down. This in turn creates a negative pressure gradient in the chest cavity (ie. a vacuum), and the lungs fill with air. The reverse happens when you breathe out. Unlike the breathing described above, this type of breathing allows the lower parts of the lung to swell, giving a fill of about 80% — enough for your body to sustain itself during normal circumstances. It is only during times of stress and exertion that you need to call upon the help of your accessory breathing muscles to kick in that extra 20% from your upper lungs, enabling your body to receive the oxygen it needs for these special circumstances.
Okay, with Breathing 101 now in your brain, let’s put it into practice. The following exercise comes from Fit for Life II: Living Health by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. Aren’t quite sure whether you’re breathing correctly or not? Try the exercise for your answer.
“This can be done either sitting or lying down. If you practice it sitting, you should keep your spine erect, so sit in a chair with a straight back or cross-legged on the floor with you back against the wall. Place your hands on your abdomen, one above the navel and one on it, as you breathe in. Feel the navel swell out first, and then feel the breath slowly rise up into the chest. As you breathe out, the hand positioned above the navel will ‘sink in,’ followed by the lower hand. In this way, you can actually feel the abdominal breathing taking place. Breathe comfortably like this for at least two minutes, and gradually work the exercise up to five minutes a day. As you breathe in, count to four, hold for two, and then release the breath for four counts.
“A second way to practice this exercise is to lie on your back on the floor, and this works particularly well if you have bad posture, a lot of tension and stress, or have been through some shock or developed some fear that keeps your breath ‘locked’ in your chest. Roll a bath towel up the long way and place it under your spine from your waist to the top of your head. This will force your chest to press up and expand as you lie on the towel. This position will also automatically pull the breath down into the abdomen. Place your hands on your stomach as indicated above, and breathe slowly and comfortably for two minutes; work up to five minutes if you can.
The above-mentioned authors contend that this is by far the most powerful deep abdominal breathing exercise that you can practice.
Need some help? Your local chiropractor can assist you in evaluating and retraining your breathing patterns. In addition, he or she can set up a program with may include specific spinal adjustments, muscle techniques, and exercises to help you reverse the physical stresses that improper breathing can bring about. And with that, we can all breathe a little easier.

Thanks Lynda for this. I think the key issue here that Lynda mentioned is that with complex rehab we act as a compliment to other therapy. While a physio (or other therapist) will guide you (and us if necessary) by giving you exercises specific to the injury, Pilates will help to keep your whole body mobile and worked while taking care of the injury too. Often, having a knee injury can cause compensations or overuse of other muscles during the healing period, and Pilates helps to keep things from going out of kilter, working the whole body in relation to the injury.

It is the contraction of on the first and third indices. Other contractions would in principle also be possible: on the first and second, the first and fourth, etc. But because is antisymmetric on and and on and , all these contractions either vanish or reduce to . Therefore the Ricci tensor is essentially the only contraction of the Riemann tensor.

Fiber to the home (FTTH), also referred to as fiber to the premises (FTTP), is the installation and deployment of a fiber optic network to individual homes and businesses to provide ultra high-speed internet access. The UK's existing broadband infrastructure is now much older than networks currently in use in other parts of Europe, where infrastructure has recently been installed, and the UK's current FTTH program is aimed at closing this "bandwidth gap". FTTH promises connection speeds of up to 100 megabits per second - 20 to 100 times faster than a typical DSL connection. However, implementing FTTH on such a large scale is a lengthy and costly process since it will require installation of a new cable network which will eventually reach every property across the country, generally following the routes of existing road networks. The total length of the UK road network was estimated in 2012 to be 245,400 miles (nearly 395,000 km).
McNicholas Construction is one of the contractors involved in the early stages of FTTH deployment in the UK, beginning in the city of York. In order to increase the speed of the deployment, and hence reduce the overall cost, McNicholas Construction digs the trenches required to carry the new cables using a 'micro-trencher', a motorised rotary cutting disc, resulting in a narrow slit in the ground just wide enough to house the insulated cables. A micro-trench is typically between 30mm and 100mm wide, compared to a traditional 300mm wide hand-dug trench. This allows a micro-trencher with a small workforce to cover up to 500 meters per day, compared with 50 meters per day with more labour-intensive traditional methods. The micro-trenching method is not only much faster than traditional trench digging, but also greatly reduces the amount of excavated material and hence the amount of infill material required to reinstate the ground. A quick setting bitumen-concrete mix is poured into the trench up to the level of the ground which typically takes 48 hours to go off in a micro-trench, compared with 7 days for a traditional trench, thus minimising disruption to traffic and pedestrians.
The trenching and reinstatement are carried out separately in two phases. During the interval between trenching and reinstatement, the open trenches pose a safety hazard to pedestrians and cyclists. Toes can catch the edge of the trench, while heels can get stuck leading to a potential fall and injury. Bicycle wheels can also get stuck in the trench potentially dismounting the cyclist.
When digging a traditional trench, the common approach to making them safe is to demarcate them with signage, traffic cones and amber lights, and place reinforced walk boards and pedestrian barriers across the trench at regular intervals where pedestrian access is required. However, these measures are costly in terms of labour, operations and upfront cost when deployed along significant lengths of road, and are excessive where the trench is only 30-100mm wide.
Our solution was to design and develop an extruded profile which could sit on top of the trench and cover the edges on either side. The base of the profile therefore needed a protruding leg the same width of the trench to keep it in place, and a rounded top was required to span over the trench to allow pedestrians and cyclists to traverse safely across it. This reduces the need for pedestrian barriers, signage, walkboards etc. and the product is easy to install and remove. To reduce material costs, the protruding leg was made hollow and overall dimensions of the profile kept to a minimum.
"We approached Duratex UK Rubber & Plastics Ltd because we needed a solution to cover our trenches during our fiber optic installations in York. We needed the solution to abate any safety risks posed to the public by an uncovered trench, whilst also being as low impact and as easy to install and remove as possible. We consulted Duratex who developed a custom solution which met all our criteria, and were able to produce the product within a short timeframe and at lower cost than other competing quotes we received. Their approach was the most practical in terms of our operations and allows us to cover ground quickly whilst minimising disruption to traffic and pedestrians during this phase of the project. Overall I was very impressed with their straight-forward attitude, reliability and professionalism. I would recommend Duratex UK Rubber & Plastics Ltd to other contractors in the utilities sector."

Everyone has their list of books that nurture and inspire them, but this list gets to the literary heart of every artist, not to mention that nine of them have been made into great films!
Life of Pi is a book that everyone should read in their young age. Raising complex and religious questions, the novel is centered around a philosophical youth named Pi who finds himself adrift the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a lifeboat . . . with a Bengal tiger (Yikes!). Yann Martel weaves a story full of delicate and beautiful sentences that it almost sounds like prose. The novel is a masterpiece because after the readers feel the emotions and endure the moments of heartache, that they suddenly realize that the book is not what they thought it was to begin with.
Set in Nazi Germany, The Book Thief is narrated by Death who tells the story of Liesel Meminger and her family surviving the hardships of World War II. The book is tremendously powerful and Zusak captures his reader’s attention as he portrays what life was like for the German youths during the war. Characters suffer cruel fates but also are great examples of the power of personal sacrifice, heroism and courage. More so, what makes The Book Thief stand out is that even though the book is dubbed as “Young Adult” it has the literary pretensions written for adults as well. Indeed the novel does have those “good-triumphs-over-evil” type moralizing aspects within the pages, but Zusak pulls it off by removing the self-conscious “literary” aspect that is found in plenty of adult books.
What causes your heart to pound, your palms to sweat and your whole self to be simultaneously terrified and excited? I’m not talking about a crush; I’m talking about the a-word. Auditions.
Auditions are the gateway to advancing your artistic career, whether that’s through theater, dance, voice, etc. This means that despite them being nerve-wracking and anxiety-inducing, auditions can ultimately make or break you.
Luckily, we have some advice on how to ace all of your auditions. Dancer/singer/actress extraordinaire Caribay Franke gave Artzray some sage wisdom on how to prepare for your upcoming auditions.
Whether you’ve seen the show a million times, or you’ve never even heard of it, do your homework. That means rereading or reading the plot/script. Learn about the historical context, the author’s background, etc. Then find out anything you can about the production, casting director or company you are auditioning for and know their work. Your thoroughness will pay off.
Don’t play the character – be the character. Whether you have a song, a monologue or a dance solo to portray this, get to know this character ahead of time. Your embodiment will shine through in your audition. Think about what you are wearing. Don’t dress “in character” but do keep it simple, hair out of your face and nothing too trendy or revealing that could distract from your audition.
Barbara Thomason shares her thoughts and gives advice about pursuing a career in the arts. Written for our Along The Way series.
Barbara Thomason is an artist, educator, painter, printmaker, sculptor and public artist, Barbara’s teaching includes: UC Santa Cruz, University of Redlands, Otis College of Art and Design, Calif. Polytechnic University Pomona and Ryman Arts.
Barbara has a new book coming out in Sept. 2014 “100 Not So Famous Views of LA” which is inspired by nineteenth-century Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige’s One Hundred Famous Views of Edo and pre-orders can be made on Amazon.
Trends & Fads – Don’t worry about trends and art fads. These come and go. Do the kind of artwork that feels right for you. The most important thing is truth. Be true to your instincts about what it is you do best.
Take Chances – Take positive action and don’t be afraid of challenges. If you take chances you will grow as an artist and as a person. Try new things! If they don’t work out, so what? Risk failure.
Your Job – Make you artwork your job. Talent is nothing without discipline. Remember no one is going to hand you anything unless you work for it. Give yourself deadlines and assignments and keep at it.
Live Your Art – Don’t let other people tell you how you should live your life. If you want to be an artist, be an artist. If you love what you do it will take care of you as long as you take care of it.
Keep Learning – Everyone thinks art is easy. It’s not. It takes training, perseverance, passion and hard work. An artist keeps learning. It never stops. Every new piece of art is a chance to learn more. Embrace the new.

2. Solid Shot- boost Max Health and striking for a time.
Blast Zone- Sam flies up and discharges a huge Thermo chemical blast.
Only BLAWS skin works with the code the other three skins do not have his legs disappear.
Sometimes his legs dont reappear so just hit block to make them show up.
When flying if you move vertically his legs may appear. Just keep moving or idle for a sec and they will disappear.
If powerstyle has started and he is grabbed he will get beat up or thrown with no legs, just hold block to fix.
Marvel, Activision, Raven Software, Vicarious Visions and Beenox for the best comic book based game/series (MUA,XMLegends and XML2…..MUA2 not so much still bought it on two platforms, yall still got my money dangit) ever.
BLAW: where to begin? There is no booster without your custom Cannonball model and hide_leg code. Thank you and the few other like Teamcum and nodoubtjr who have hung around and kept Marvelmods going for so long. Thank you.
Outsider: For his awesome Cannonball LoadScreen, all your work has been great and we hope you continue to pump out the hits.
p.s. Here are the Mannequins that are both in the booster so you can pick. The first is the one that was in Boremans original Cannonball conversion I think it’s a TOMMYBOY special. The black and white(Uncanny) is from Ravencore, go check both these modders pages they have outstanding work. Thank you again for the your hard work on these mannequins.
Re: Cannonball BOOSTER only three years in the making.
Booster is really nice! I'm very glad to see it released!
Thanks guys hope you like him. Polygone thanks for testing.
Yay! Can't wait to try him out!
Also his first attack, that charge up punch reminds me of a Superman uppercut move from Injustice for some reason. Very painful looking.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy your skins Lionsden99. Are you still planning anything with the Magik mod?
Think I finally talked myself into start messing with the whole, decompiling craziness once again. It's been a while so I've been intimidated but Illyana deserves some love so i better get to it soon!
Let me know if you need any help with the coding. I saw the convo you had with nodoubtjr about Blades animations, if you need help let me know.

We study the convergence of wavelet expansions associated with dilation matrix in the variable spaces using the approximate identity. Also, we obtain conditions for the wavelet characterizations of with respect to norm estimates. Moreover, the results of Izuki (2008) and Kumar (2009) have been extended.
Various authors such as Cruz-Uribe et al. [1, 2], Diening [3, 4], Nekvinda , Izuki , and Kopaliani studied the conditions for the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on variable spaces . In the case , Diening has proved that the boundedness of on is equivalent to that on , where is the conjugate exponent function. Cruz-Uribe et al. used the extrapolation technique to give a different proof of the result obtained by Izuki .
The convergence of the wavelet series has been studied by Meyer , Walter , and Kelly et al. [11, 12]. Meyer was amongst the first to study convergence results for wavelet expansions. Wavelet theory is based on analyzing signals to their components by using a set of bases functions. An important characteristic of wavelet bases functions is that they relate to each other by simple scaling and translation. Meyer showed that the regular wavelet expansions converge in , , for expansions of uniformly continuous functions; the expansions of continuous functions converge everywhere. His results are based on the assumption of the regularity for basic wavelets and their derivatives. Walter studied the results for regular wavelet expansions of continuous functions. Kelly et al. [11, 12] extended and obtained results analogous to those obtained by Carleson and Hunt for the Fourier series. The results of Kelly et al. [11, 12] only assumed that the wavelets are bounded by radial decreasing -functions. The behavior of wavelet expansions outside the Lebesgue set is discussed by Reyes , for , whereas Kelly et al. proved that the wavelet expansion of a function in spaces converges pointwise everywhere on the Lebesgue set of a given function. Tao has extended the results of Meyer and Kelly et al. [11, 12] and showed that the wavelet expansion of any -function converges pointwise almost everywhere under the wavelet projections, hard sampling, and soft sampling summation methods, for .
The pointwise convergence of wavelet expansions associated with a dilation matrix has been studied by Manchanda et al. . For the applications point of view, sometimes it is reasonable to study the characterization and convergence of wavelets associated with a dilation matrix in variable spaces. The construction of wavelet bases in variable exponent spaces was first studied by Sharapudinov [18, 19] who gave a basis of using the Haar system. In this paper, we study the convergence and characterization of wavelet expansions associated with dilation matrix in variable spaces where .
Let denote a dilation matrix in ; that is, is a matrix such that(i);(ii)all eigen values of satisfy .
Property (i) implies that has integer entries, and hence, is an integer, and from property (ii) we know that . Considering as an additive group, we find that is a normal subgroup of ; so, we can form the cosets of in . It is a well-known fact that the number of distinct cosets of in is equal to .
First, we define variable spaces on , , and introduce some known results on the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator. Throughout the paper, we consider a measurable function , and means the conjugate exponent function of ; that is, satisfies . denotes the characteristic function of a measurable set .
Definition 1. The variable space consists of all measurable functions defined on such that for some constant , where .
Definition 2. The set consists of all satisfying and .
Given a function , the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is defined by , where the supremum is taken over all cubes containing .
Definition 3. is the set of satisfying the condition that is bounded on .
Cruz-Uribe et al. and Nekvinda proved the following sufficient conditions independently. Note that Nekvinda gave a more general condition in place of (5).
Proposition 4 (see [1, 5]). Let . Suppose that where is a constant independent of and . Then, one has . If satisfies (4) and (5), then so does . Diening proved the following equivalence.
Proposition 5 (see [4, Theorem 8.1]). Let . Then, the following four conditions are equivalent:(1);(2);(3)there exists a constant such that ;(4)there exists a constant such that .
Definition 6 (wavelets). Let be a set of functions belonging to . Define for each , , and . The sequence is a wavelet set if , , , forms an orthonormal basis in , and each is a wavelet.
In this paper, we use a wavelet set which consists of wavelets in . We can construct it by means of a multiresolution analysis (MRA) [9, 20, 21].
Definition 7. An MRA is a sequence of closed subspaces of associated with dilation matrix such that the following conditions hold:(1) for all ;(2) is dense in ;(3);(4) holds if and only if for all ;(5) holds if and only if for every ;(6)there exists a function such that the system is an orthonormal basis in . is called a scaling function of .
Denoting the orthogonal complement of in by , it is easy to show that the integer translations of the mother wavelet form an orthonormal basis for . Then, we can construct a wavelet set associated with and satisfying the assumption that each wavelet is in , and forms an orthonormal basis in for every . Since is dense in , the collection is an orthonormal basis of .
Given an MRA with scaling function , let and , respectively, be the orthogonal projections onto the spaces and with the kernels and , defined as where and In view of , can be written as The sequence of projections is called the multiresolution expansion of . The scaling expansion of any function is defined as where Therefore the wavelet expansion associated with dilation matrix of is given by where the wavelet coefficients are defined as earlier.
The function is in the space . It is the projection of onto and can be written as where will be called the reproducing kernel of . Now, (15) takes the form We will assume that the scaling function does not generate an orthonormal basis of or of . This leads to the fact that condition of MRA can be replaced by the weaker condition that is a Riesz basis of . We also assume that Fourier transform of has a compact support. Since is a Riesz basis of , it has a biorthonormal basis such that for any function , we have Similarly, for , we have where is the biorthonormal basis of and .
Definition 8. If with and one defines , where , and denotes the Fourier transform of , then the sequence of functions is an approximate identity if (1) for all , (2), (3) for every .
Remark 9. If , then is an approximate identity.
Lemma 10. If with , then is an approximate identity if (1) for all , (2), (3) for every .
Proof. From [22, pages 64-65], we can easily obtain that almost everywhere for . Now, following the lines of proof of [22, Lemma 2.2], the proof of Lemma 10 is immediate.
Remark 11. Let . Then, is an approximate identity.
Lemma 12. If and , then , where denotes the convolution operator.
Proof. The proof follows on proceeding on the lines of proof of [22, Lemma 1.3].
Lemma 13. Suppose that . Then, is dense in .
Proof. Set such that is compact.
Obviously, is a vector space and and is dense in . So, we have It has been proved by Kováčik and Rákosník [23, Theorem 2.11] that if , then is dense in . By virtue of (20), it follows that is dense in .
Definition 14. Let be a constant, and let be a weight on such that is locally integrable; is said to be an weight if satisfies where means the Lebesgue measure of . denotes the set of all weights.
Definition 15. (1) A weight is said to be an weight if for all , there exists a constant such that for every cube and measurable set satisfying , denotes the set of all weights.
(2) A family of weights is said to be a family of weights uniformly in if each is an weight and the constant is independent of . It is well known that . Lerner gave the following characterization of families of weights.
Lemma 16 (see [24, Lemma 2.1]). Let be a nonnegative and measurable function on . The family of weights is a family of weights uniformly in if and only if for some constant .
Definition 17. Let be a constant, and let be a weight on . The weighted space is the space of all measurable functions with is a Banach space with the norm .
The following lemma also holds for variable spaces on an open set of .
Lemma 18 (see [25, Corollary 1.11]). Let , and let be a family of ordered pairs of non-negative and measurable functions . Suppose that and that there exists a constant such that for all and all with , where is a positive constant depending only on , , and . Then, it follows that for all such that , where is a positive constant independent of .
Definition 19. Let be the set of all measurable functions on . (1)A linear space is said to be a Banach function space if there exists a functional which has the norm property and satisfies the following conditions:(a) if and only if ;(b) for all ;(c)if and , then and ;(d)for all with , it follows that ;(e)for all with , there exists a constant such that for all .(2)Let be a Banach function space with the norm . The norm is said to be an absolutely continuous norm if for all and all sequences of measurable sets such that almost everywhere.
The following two lemmas imply that is a Banach function space with the absolutely continuous norm (cf. ).
Lemma 20 (see ). Let be a Banach function space. Then, is separable if and only if the norm is absolutely continuous on .
Lemma 21 (see ). Suppose that . Then, is separable.
First, we prove the convergence of wavelet associated with dilation matrix in in reference of MRA.
Remark 23. (1) If is a scaling function of an MRA and , then we see that , where is the orthogonal projection for each .
(2) In view of generalized Holder inequality [11, Theorem 2.1], we have for all and , where . Hence, the previous -inner product makes sense.
Proof of Theorem 22. The nonorthogonal projection of on the space is given by Thus, if and , then . Now, applying Lemma 18, we obtain that if and , then . By virtue of Lemma 13 we get . Hence, for , for . Hence, the proof is completed.
Corollary 24. Let and , . If is an approximate identity, then for every , the wavelet series converges to as at every point of continuity of .
Proof. In view of [28, 29], the estimates (34) hold for . The class is contained in ; therefore, estimates (34) also hold for .
Now, we prove the following.
Proof. We see that is equivalent to condition (24) in view of Proposition 5. Thus, Lemma 25 together with Lemma 18 implies that the estimates (35) hold for all and . By using Lemma 13, these inequalities also hold for .
Applying the wavelet characterization (Theorem 26) and [27, Proposition 3.6, Ch. 1], we can construct unconditional basis of in terms of wavelets.
Theorem 27. Let , and let be a wavelet set such that each wavelet is in . Then, the wavelet basis forms an unconditional basis on .
Proof. Let us denote and In order to complete the proof, we have to check the following two conditions:(1)there exists a constant such that for all and all ;(2)span is dense in .
To check condition (1), using Theorem 26 and the orthonormality, we obtain for all , where are constants independent of . Using monotone convergence theorem as finite sets exhaust , we get that (37) holds for .
To check condition (2), it suffices to show that . By Lemmas 20 and 21, is a Banach function space with absolutely continuous norm . For any , we have , with convergence in , and there exists a subsequence of partial sums for that converge almost everywhere on . Using Fatou’s lemma, we get The result [27, Proposition 3.6, Ch. 1] can be applied to since is a Banach function space with the absolutely continuous norm (cf. ). Using this result, the last term is zero, and by virtue of (37), ; we can use the dominated convergence theorem to obtain with convergence in . Therefore, .
Hence, the proof is completed.

Follow this guide to get a complete local development stack for Yadaguru up-and-running on your machine.
If you are not familiar with Docker, check out their Getting Started guide.
This will allow you to bring up an entire stack at once. See installation instructions here.
While NodeJS will automatically be setup in the yadaguru/api container, it will still need to be setup on the host machine in order to use NPM.
This will install the gulp task runner, the bower package manager, karma for running front-end tests, and mocha for running back-end tests.
Pull all of the Yadaguru repos into a folder called yadaguru in your home folder.
https://github.com/yadaguru/dockerfiles - contains all of the Dockerfiles and docker-compose files for building Yadaguru images.
https://github.com/yadaguru/yadaguru-api - the NodeJS REST API for all YadaGuru services.
https://github.com/yadaguru/yadaguru-app - the user-facing AngularJS app.
https://github.com/yadaguru/yadaguru-admin - the internal-facing admin portal for managing Yadaguru content.
This will install all dependencies for the API.
This will install all development and app dependencies, and build the js/css assets. NOTE: bower may ask you to resolve version conflicts for some packages. If this occurs, refer to the bower.json file for the correct version.
This will install all development and app dependencies. For this project, npm install will also run bower install when finished. NOTE: bower may ask you to resolve version conflicts for some packages. If this occurs, refer to the bower.json file for the correct version.
This will bring up the entire Yadaguru development stack. IMPORTANT NOTE: This guide assumes that all repos will reside in a folder called yadaguru in your home folder. If you place the repos elsewhere, you will need to modify the docker-compose.yml file in the dockerfiles repo to mount the volumes to the appropriate location.
Pull down the all necessary images from Yadaguru's Docker Hub.
Create a data volume link between the repos on the host machine and the containers.
Run the API with nodemon, so that any changes in the yadaguru-api repo will cause the app to restart.
Note that the -d flag will run the containers in 'detached mode' (see Docker Tips below for more information). You can omit the -d flag, and this will cause all containers to output to the console. Hit CTRL+C to stop all containers.
This will show you all of the containers that are running. Note the name of the container in the last column.
This will tail the stdout of the container. You will know that the stack is ready if you tail the api container and see Starting http server on port: 3005.
Go to the API repo and run the DB migration script.
This will update the database schema with recent changes.
The Yadaguru development stack should be ready; let's verify this.
Browsing to localhost:3000 you should see the Yadaguru app. You should be able to create a new account and add school(s).
Browing to localhost:9000 you should get the admin login screen. You can login with the username admin and the password password. Once logged in, you should be able to view, create, update, and delete any of the resources.
yadaguru-api and yadaguru-admin both have test suites. You can further verify that everything is working by running the tests.
to test the admin portal.
Step 11 - Create an account and login.
In order to work on the app, you will need to create an account on your local dev setup. To do this, follow the onboarding process in yadaguru-app. Any 10 digit number will work for the phone number. The generated confirmation code will be outputted to the Chrome dev tools console. Once you create an account, add a test school (and set a date at least 90 days from now).
If you need to start fresh with a new account, click on the speech bubble icon and, and then select "Forget my phone number." This will delete your user, schools, and reminders from the database, as well as clear the local storage keys holding your access token and onboarding state.
Congratulations! You now have your own personal Yadaguru running on your computer. We need lots of development help. Check out our waffle.io board to see where you can help.
Please create a feature branch off of master, and make a pull request when your feature is ready.
If you need assistance you can email us at yadaguru@gmail.com, or hit us up in the #yadaguru channel in the CodeForPhilly Slack.
Below are some helpful commands for working with Docker.
Stop all containers in the stack (but keep them).
Stop and destroy all containers in the stack. NOTE that this will reset the database to it's original state.
See all of the runnning containers. Adding --all will show running and stopped containers. The last column is the name of the container (this is auto-generated by docker-compose).
Start bash in the container. Use this if you want to perform operations from within the container (this usually isn't necessary). bash can be replaced with any command that you would want to run from inside the container.
Postgres is exposed on port 5432, if you need to connect directly to the database.
and enter the password yadaguru. NOTE that you will need to have psql installed on your host machine. See installation instructions here.

Keep in mind, even should you feel healthy and do not obtain any noticeable symptoms from drinking your water, it does not mean you aren't permitting harmful chemical substances into the human anatomy. Often, the consequences of this don't show up until after several years of consuming faucet water.
If you're looking for a home water purifier to guard your quality of life, they are your absolute best choices: Ultraviolet (UV) systems, Filter pitchers and faucet-mounted filters, Reverse osmosis (RO) systems, Whole-house (or point-of-entry) systems, Distillation systems.
Distillation, ozonation, and UV light are the only proven methods to guard against microorganisms and waterborne pathogens in drinking water. "Filtration and reverse-osmosis systems are not enough to guarantee the security of consuming water. Anything you choose, make absolutely sure you buy a true home water purifier to guard your health from harmful chemicals into the water. It well could save your life.
Regardless how clean your ingesting water looks, there is absolutely no guarantee that it's pure and germ-free. It could have microscopic pathogens that can cause diseases, brand new age contaminants like lead and arsenic or a very high level of TDS (Total Dissolved Salts).
To understand about Filtra.Nerou.gr and Water Filters Blog, please go to the page learn more here.
A lamp is used to create UV rays to which the water is exposed in purifiers that use UV purification. The UV rays penetrate to the microorganism and alter its DNA, when this is accomplished then it's basically killed and can not cause any illness or even reproduce! This process kills about 99.99% of all organisms that cause conditions!
These purifiers usually do not change the chemical composition for the water or change its style. It cannot be used in areas where you get hard water since it doesn't alter the chemical composition of water.
Whenever water is passed away throughout the carbon area the contaminants are interested in the top. The carbon is processed making it acutely porous, this gives a surface that is large for adsorption or chemical reactions. These carbon filters ordinarily utilize granular carbon or blocks of powdered carbon. This is a commonly used technology and is helpful against getting rid of pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, radon and other chemicals. The standard of these filters are ranked by the dimensions of particles so it can remove. A filter that steps 0.5 micron works better compared to the the one that measures 10 microns.

Weekly business rail, with a BBB warning about swine flu scams, tips for unemployed workers and more.
The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be on the lookout for spam e-mail messages that take advantage of the public's concern about the swine flu but could contain malware, other computer viruses or are disguised attempts to sell products such as vitamins.
"Scammers are quick to latch onto whatever grabs the public's attention," says Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Chicago and Northern Illinois. "They know an e-mail about a hot, interesting topic will cause many people to open the message. That's the opportunity the scammer needs to infect a computer, go phishing for personal information or present an unwanted marketing message."
- Make sure your anti-virus and anti-spyware software is up to date and all operating system security patches have been installed.
For more details on this scam and others, go to BBB.org.
The U.S. Labor Department said the national unemployment rate rose to 8.5 percent in March, the highest level in 25 years. Is it any wonder that many unemployed, underemployed and workers fearing the loss of their jobs are now considering going into business for themselves? But is self-employment right for you?
With unemployment figures continuing to increase, Dani Babb – author of "The Accidental Startup, Business Basics for the Chance Entrepreneur" and Fox Business, CNBC and CNN media personality – predicts so will the ranks of "chance entrepreneurs," those who find themselves suddenly out of work and unable to find another job. If you're among those ranks, it would be wise to weigh all the risks and benefits of becoming self-employed.
For more details, go to Forbes.com.
"This abuse of trust, rather than the activity on Facebook, led to the ending of the work contract."

In this section, we describe a full, working example that covers everything we discussed in this chapter: using native methods with strings, arrays, objects, constructor calls, and error handling. We’ll show you how to put a Java platform wrapper around a subset of the ordinary C-based API used to work with the Windows registry. Of course, the Windows registry being a Windows-specific feature, such a program is inherently nonportable. For that reason, the standard Java library has no support for the registry, and it makes sense to use native methods to gain access to it.

Want to make your own quote picture for social media but just not sure how to go about it? This article will show you exactly how to do it!
NOTE: We just updated this post with a bonus application! Need to be able to make your own quote pictures on the go? Wordswag is a super easy app for your phone that will allow you to make them in seconds and get them right up to your social media accounts! Keep reading to see the walkthrough video tutorial.
Why does everybody love quote images on social media?
There's actually a few very good reasons.
First of all, quotes are a quick and simple way to start branding YOU on social media. Branding is key to make people want to follow you, buy from you, and join your business.
When you use quotes you're able to inspire your audience, change their mindset, motivate them, and or even just heighten their mood and make them feel a ray of hope. That one moment can change lives that you don’t even realize.
These are all feel good emotions that people will then associate to YOU, which will make them like you.
Quotes are also a great way to spread your brand because they can easily be shared. People love to like and comment on quote image posts, which is engagement that brings attention to your posts… and therefore your brand. BuzzFeed found that posts with images on Facebook got 2.3X more engagement than those without. Tweets with images has some ridiculous results as well and can play an integral role in getting more followers on your twitter account.
Of course if we're going to make our own quote images, then it's pretty important that we find some quotes right?
While there are tons of “quotes” sites online, the fastest and easiest way is to simply use Google.
A simple search for terms like “inspirational quotes”, “entrepreneur quotes”, “success quotes” will do the trick.
You can find quotes from leaders you like to people follow that you know your audience likes as well. Seach “Tony Robbins quotes”, “Warren Buffet quotes”, “Eric Worre quotes” if you’re in the network marketing niche. You get the picture.
People enjoy inspirational quotes from celebrities, athletes, industry leaders, alternative thinkers, etc.
Of course it all depends on your niche. If you're in the health and wellness niche, you might want to find people in the industry to quote.
BrainyQuote – can search by topic, author, or keyword.
Luckily most of the websites and apps we'll be showing you will give you images that you can use for FREE right within the platform. This saves you time especially if you're just starting out.
It’s really very simple, so don't put too much thought into it.
Now it's time to combine our quotes and our images so that we can get started sharing them online!
It's actually not as hard as you might be thinking. If you're a bit afraid of the techie side of things, don't worry, because with the easy-to-use web apps and phone apps available online today, you can whip these images out in just a few minutes.
Which means you'll be quickly on your way to getting some immediate online engagement starting TODAY!
A relatively new player has joined the game, and to be honest, it doesn't get much easier than the new Pablo app from Buffer. Free images, huge selection of quotes, sizes based on social media platforms. This has it all and you can make your own quote picture in literal seconds.
One of the most popular ways to create your own quotes is with Canva.
That's because it's a FREE (with an upgrade option) graphic-design tool that's simple to use for any skill level. Even if you've never done any sort of graphics online, you'll be able to use this site to create quote images quickly and easily.
First you'll have to sign up at Canva.
Once inside you'll see the dashboard which is extremely easy to navigate.
The great thing is that Canva has already worked out all the sizes that you'll need to make your own quotes images. Different social networks require different sizes, and with Canva you don't have to even think about it.
Once you've chosen the size that you need, it's time to go ahead and start creating your image.
The grids can be found under the “elements” tab on the left hand side, and then click “Grids” inside that tab.
You can either upload your own images to use, or you can choose from one of the FREE Photos that Canva lets you use.
This is where you’ll lay your quote over the top of the photo that you’ve chosen. Basically it’s copy and past, which anybody can do.
Canva lets you choose different fonts, font sizes, and colors. Once you’ve pasted your quote in, you can maneuver the text wherever you want it to be within the image.
4. Brand the Picture to YOU!
One of the main reasons you’re making your own quotes images, is to create a brand in your niche.
You can use a watermark with your logo, or even just the URL of your blog or website. The important thing is to remember to brand the picture to YOU somehow… so that when the PHOTO is shared, your BRAND is shared!
How do you get your new image out of canva and to the platform you want?
At the top of the Canva dashboard you'll see buttons where you can download the image to your computer and share it to the social networks from there.
OR…you can simply hit the share button inside Canva, and share it to your social media sites from there!
If there's a site that's perfect for people who want an easy way to make really great looking quote images, Stencil seems to be it.
It's very similar to Canva, but there are some key differences.
NOTE: While there is a pretty robust FREE version of Stencil. The drawback to the free account is that it does limit the number of images that you can create per month to 10.With the upgrade at $9 per month, you can create up to 50 images per month, and if you add an extra $3 bucks per month, you're unlimited.
Both of these upgrades also increase the number of free images, free quotes, and other handy tools.
What's really cool about Stencil is that it's a marketing and social media focused platform. They want you to get in there and quickly create images that you can get out there to increase your engagement on social media.
They have way more free photos for you to use than Canva. Not to mention that they have their own stock of quotes that you can tap to make your quote images. Sort of a one-stop-shop for quote images!
Creating an account is simple. Just hit the “Start Creating Images” button on the home page, and you'll be able to set up your account with your name, email, and password. Simple and easy.
Now here's the fun part. Just wait until you see how simple it is to use!
Where you see “Click & drag to move me around” is where you'll create your image, and that text can either be revised or deleted.
We'll do a Facebook Post for this example.
Now that we have the size, you'll choose an image that you want to use. There's a ton even with the free account, and you can simply scroll down to go through them all.
We'll pick a nice scene with a dude looking out into the water, seeming to contemplate life a bit. We've all been there haven't we?
Now we want to add a quote to this photo.
Again, Stencil makes it extremely easy to do. You have two choices here. If you want choose your own quote and copy and paste just like you did over at Canva… simply click the Text Icon over to the right of the image.
You can adjust the text size, color, and font in the pop-up on the left hand side of the image.
However, for this example we're simply going to use one of the quotes that Stencil gives you to make a quote image. Just to show you how simple it really is.
On the left hand side you'll see a tab that says quotes, and when you click that tab, you get a selection of quotes to choose from.
You can scroll down to see more quotes, and pick the one that suits you best for that image. Or even search for your favorite author, influencer, entrepreneur, celebrity, etc.
It's a great quote that fits the picture quite nicely.
Once you select your quote and click on it, the text will be automatically added to your picture! As you can see, you can adjust the text/fonts/colors over to the left. You can also move it around the image to position it better. Let's see what we can do with this quote image.
And if it looks good you can go ahead and download it by clicking on the ‘Download' button.
And BOOM! You've just created an image quote with STENCIL!
How to Use PowerPoint to Make Quote Images!
Sometimes it’s best to just use what you already have at your disposal.
The best tool is the tool you'll use.
You can do exactly that with Power Point (or Apple's Keynote if you are on a Mac) which you very likely have on your computer, or something like it.
To make really great looking image quotes for your brand, yo may want to add one tool into the mix with this method, that will make your images a bit more eye-catching.
That extra tool is Pixlr. This is actually a powerful web app that packs a mean punch, and it’s great if you want to get a little more creative but don’t want to go full-on Photoshop just yet.

Daughter of Julia Lynch Olin and her first husband J. Philip Benkard (1873-1929). She was part of New York high society, complete with debutante luncheons and presentations to society.
Elsie married 26 Feb 1930 to Charles H Clarke in a Baha'i ceremony presided over by Mirza Ahmad Sohrab and they resided at Oyster Bay, New York.
They had a daughter Lili Clarke.
New York Times, Nov 1, 1924 "Entertain for Two Debutants-To-Be"
New York Times, Dec 25, 1969 "Mrs Lili C Ohrstrom Married to Peter Townsend, a Broker"
It should be noted that the enormous collection of Bahai and New History Foundation material, including such artifacts as a lock of Baha'u'llah's hair, which Julie Chanler discusses in her autobiography, was acquired by the Baha'is of Wilmette, after the death of Ahmad Sohrab and Julie Chanler. According to Lili Townsend, Chanler's grand-daughter, in 2007 during a telephone conversation, stated her own mother, Elsie Benkard-Clarke had bestowed the papers on the NSA of Wilmette upon the representation that they would be made available to researchers. Mrs. Townsend went on to add that she didn't believe anything had ever been done with the papers and clearly had no idea what had happened to them.

Typing on computer keyboards, thumbing away at our smartphones, driving, cooking, and hobbies from knitting to foosball can all exact a toll on the hands and wrists, as can our yoga practices. While the version of wrist extension most often practiced in yoga—palms on the floor, and fingers forward (think plank)—is a healthy position in which the hands can practice weight-bearing, it is only one of many positions of which the hands are capable. Throwing in the occasional hand-under-foot pose, peacock pose, or reverse namaste can be helpful, but it is often not enough for most students to counter the effects of scores of vinyasas—with plank-style wrist extension repeated over and over, and often while the hands are not bearing weight as effectively as they could.
The practice below is designed to bring your hands and wrists into optimal alignment and to guide them through a wide range of healthy movements. When working with the hands and wrists this carefully, you’ll also be strengthening your forearms, upper arms, and shoulders. Though it is given as a stand-alone practice to be done with the help of a wall, you could easily incorporate into your regular yoga practice those actions you find most valuable. I also make suggestions throughout for poses with which these movements can be combined.
A few things to keep in mind as you move through this practice: Don’t rush. Instead, imagine that resistance is slowing the movement of your hands. Keep your shoulders up and back, with shoulder blades against your back (instead of pulling them down; most of us wear our shoulders too low), and avoid hyperextending your elbows in the poses where your arms are straight. For more intensity, try firming the forearms toward each other (as if squeezing a block), and widening the upper arms away from each other (as if trying to break a strap). Back off any movement that causes pain, tingling or numbness—return to the point in the movement before those sensations began, and work at that point. Take breaks whenever you’d like, rolling your shoulders and shaking out your hands and arms.
While the practice below has the potential to help those with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, students with these conditions should progress slowly—starting with just a few of the recommended movements, and only a couple repetitions of each. If the practice agrees with your hands and wrists, you can then increase the vocabulary of movement and number of repetitions.
1. Stand upright in mountain pose with your arms alongside you, palms facing forward. Although your hands are not pressing into anything here, arrange them as if they are pressing into a flat surface with every knuckle, as well as with the inner and outer “heels” of the hands (the part of the palm near the wrist). Settle even your fingertips against this imaginary surface, instead of hyperextending (i.e., curving your fingertips back toward you). While keeping your shoulders up, back, and against your back, reach your fingertips toward the floor. Do not deviate your wrists to “tick” your hands in toward your thighs or “tock” them out away from you, but rather arrange your hands so that each of your middle fingers follows an imaginary line running down the center of its respective forearm. Create a smooth plane between between your forearms and your hands, with no crease at the front or back of the wrist (avoiding any “kink in the hose” that interrupts the connection of your arms to your hands). Hold this position for several breaths.
Try applying this alignment when stretching your arms behind you for locust pose or warrior III!
2. Continue standing in tadasana, with palms forward. Now make fists with the thumbs outside the fists and curled on top of the index fingers. Then, without moving your arms, curl your fists forward as if trying to bring your knuckles to touch your inner wrists. Holding your hands in fists, repeat these wrist curls a few times.
And anytime you are seated in staff pose, try curling your fists forward and holding them in that position, while you press down into the floor with the back of your hands!
3. Stand facing a wall. Place your palms on the wall in front of you at shoulder height and about shoulder-distance apart (fingers pointing up, wrists parallel to the floor). Bring your fingers close together, thumbs cuddled alongside the index fingers. This hand position has the potential to move your thumb deep into its socket, and to widen the palms (especially the heels of the palms, just above the wrists) more effectively than just spreading the fingers wide. Instead of hyperextending your thumbs, be sure to bring the tips of your thumbs against the sides of your index fingers. Keeping your shoulders up, back, and against your back, press your hands into the wall as fully and as evenly as possible. You want the bases of your index fingers (and indeed, the bases of all your fingers and your thumbs!) to press against the wall—along with your knuckles, all of your fingertips, and the inner and outer heels of your hands. Can you press through the thumb knuckles? Through the bases of both ring fingers? Spend several breaths gluing your hands to the wall.
And try using your hands this thoroughly in every downward and upward facing dog!
4. Still working with your palms at the wall, turn your fingers to face down (or out to the sides if they don’t turn down all the way). Keeping your shoulders in place, and trying not to let the elbows hyperextend or veer in toward each other, root through as much of the hands as possible—starting with the fingertips and knuckles, then the bases of the fingers, and gradually moving weight toward the heels of the hands. Stay here for several breaths.
And try flipping your wrists like this in tabletop or even plank pose!
5. Move away from the wall. Hold your right arm out to your right (as you would in warrior II), but then press your palm away from you (extending the wrist) as if signaling someone to stop. Imagine pressing your hand and your fingertips into a wall, rather than allowing your fingertips to hyperextend (curve back toward you). Now, holding your arm still, and moving your hand as a flat and unbroken unit, aim your fingertips toward the floor (flexing the wrist), then move them up toward the ceiling once again. Tip your left ear toward your left shoulder for more intensity, while you repeat this slow flap of the hand a few times (if you’d like, bring the left hand to your head just above your right ear to gently weight it).
You can also repeat the exercise a couple of additional times while making a fist. Then practice the exercise on the left side as well. And apply to warrior II!
6. Move your right arm and hand out to the right, as if doing warrior II again, but now turn the palm to face up (imagining that you’re holding a platter). Then, keeping your palm up and moving your hand as a single unit, tip your fingertips toward the floor, extending the wrist, then back up toward the ceiling, flexing the wrist. Repeat a few times, moving your left ear toward your left shoulder for more intensity (and, if you’d like, gently weighting your head with your left hand).
You can also repeat the exercise a couple of additional times while making fists. Then practice the exercise on the left. Apply to warrior II as well.
7. Reach both arms out straight in front of you at shoulder height, and turn the palms up, as if holding a platter. Evenly settle your palms and your fingertips against this imaginary platter. Now, keeping the wrists flat, rotate your palms down, imagining that you’re pressing them against a countertop (your fingertips too!). Flip your palms back up (supinating the forearms), and then turn them down (pronating the forearms), making sure to keep the wrists flat as you repeat a few times.
Apply to chair pose, while stretching your arms straight out in front of you!
8. Lengthen both arms out in front of you at shoulder height. Turn the palms up, again holding your invisible platter. Keeping the line from the back of your hand to your forearm smooth (no wrist creases), draw your index fingers and thumbs together like jnana mudra—lengthening your other fingers without hyperextending them, as if sending beams of light straight ahead through your fingertips. Reach your index fingers back out, and draw your middle fingers in toward your thumbs. Go finger by finger, until you get to your pinky fingers.
Repeat a few times. And also try applying this movement to the top hand in triangle!
9. Make “robot arms,” bending your elbows at right angles against the sides of your ribs. Turn your palms to face each other, as though holding a block. Keeping your forearms absolutely still and your hands parallel (do not crease the wrists), tip your hands up on a slight diagonal toward the ceiling (a position called radial deviation), and then slant them down on a slight diagonal toward the floor (a position called ulnar deviation). Repeat these slow, careful wrist deviations a few times.
Also apply these wrist deviation exercises with “robot arms” while in bridge pose prep: As you lie on your back, bend your elbows to ninety degrees right alongside your rib cage. Press your upper arms against the mat, and reach your hands straight up into the air with your palms facing each other. Then, imagining that you’re holding a block between your hands, tip your hands toward your face, and then toward your knees.
10. Place your palms on the wall at shoulder height, shoulder-distance apart (with fingers pointing up, and fingers and thumbs close together). Root into the wall as thoroughly as you did in number one above, pressing through your knuckles and all of your fingertips. Without uprooting any other fingers or your palms, walk your thumbs toward each other. Reroot through your hands. Without disturbing the rest of your hand or hyperextending any of your fingers, walk your index fingers toward your thumbs. Continue, moving finger by finger, until your pinky fingers have also moved. Then walk your fingers back, starting with your pinky fingers. Repeat.
Also apply to sphinx pose, or to tabletop on your forearms.
11. Lie down for savasana, rubbing your hands together to warm them and then relaxing with your arms comfortably outstretched, palms facing up. Aim to make the thumb sides of your hands as heavy as the pinky-finger sides of your hands. If there are creases at the back of your wrists in this pose, put blankets, towels, or eye pillows underneath the backs of your hands to smooth the line from forearm to wrist. Stay here for as long as you’d like, imagining the petals of your palms unfurling.
If the movements above are challenging, repeat them often and include them in your yoga practice. But also look at what your hands are doing throughout the day, and throughout your yoga practice.
Try to smooth out the line from forearm to hand, eliminating any unnecessary crease in your wrists while you type, drive, pick up a pot from its shelf in the cupboard, lift dumbbells, grasp a strap behind your back, or hold your fingers in a mudra. Notice too if your hands tend to “tick” or “tock” right or left in certain yoga poses—for instance, as you reach an arm overhead in extended side angle, or as you bring your elbow outside your knee in marichi’s twist. Instead, do your level best to create an unbroken line from the center of your forearm through the middle finger. Keep an eye out for hyperextension—are you flaring your fingertips up in warrior II, for instance? Settle your fingertips down. And whenever your hands are on the ground (or against a wall), make full use of them. In poses like tabletop and chaturanga, instead of letting your weight shift to one side of your hands, root down with all of your knuckles and fingertips, as well as with the inner and outer heels of your hands.
Paying attention to these details will pay off in long-term hand and wrist stability, while offering a new avenue for growth and exploration in yoga poses you thought you knew like the back of your hand.

Shane Killian, the creator of Bogosity, is currently the Dean of the Institute for Completely Bogus Studies and the President and head researcher at its Center for Applied Bogosity. He holds two BhDs, one for Applied Bogosity and one for Quantum Bogodynamics.
His thesis for Applied Bogosity dealt with the injection of bogons into the information stream during the printing process. Even after a piece of text is proofread on the screen, bogons introduce spelling mistakes when printed that absolutely were not there before. The more involved the process, the greater potential for corruption by bogons; printing one-thousand copies in an expensive four-color process can often come up with at least one annoying typo due to bogon injection. The interesting thing he found is that the corruption also travels backwards along the information stream, corrupting previously printed copies as well as the original computer file. This is seen as an important confirmation of sillystring theory.
His primary research is in the field of skepticism. He has discovered that skeptics play two bogodynamic roles. In one case, they can act as a bogon filter. In the case of, say, a dowser who suddenly cannot find the hidden water when a skeptic is present, this is often misattributed to bad vibes or negative energy coming from the skeptic; in reality, the skeptic is acting as a bogon filter, preventing the dowser from emitting bogons in the course of his performance.
In another case, they act as a cluon emitter. When called to speak or debate when a bogon emitter is present, their knowledge causes cluons to be emitted, which annihilate the bogons. This effect is limited by the fact that the skeptic is usually not given equal time or not allowed to speak uninterrupted, as well as the presence of futons in the host and the audience members.
He has recently obtained his BhD in Macrobogonomics. Currently, he currently spends most of his spare time trying to confirm the existence of the sarcasitron.

Edenfield directors Chris Austin and Michael Robson.
Health and safety experts Edenfield have opened several new training centres across the country as they try to become a ‘truly national’ business.
The Birches Head company is a training provider, consultancy and osteopathy practice which specialises in health and safety.
The firm provides training courses and consultancy on anything from first aid, food safety and manual handling to marketing, business development and IT systems – alongside osteopathy services for conditions including trapped nerves and sciatica.
Edenfield, which operates from The Bridge Centre, was founded four years ago by Stoke-on-Trent City Council worker turned osteopath Michael Robson.
In that time it has developed into a full-service training and consultancy business with seven training centres, following openings in Derby, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool.
Today Edenfield has a core team of around five staff – and a network of more than 50 trainers – who deliver open courses and on-site training across the UK. Clients range from local authorities, public sector organisations to schools and the NHS.
He added: “Most people think of training courses as a dreaded experience, but our whole ethos from the beginning has been to make it fun. Instead of having to endure them, we want people to enjoy them.
On the back of the openings, Edenfield has also introduced new courses, including First Aid at Home and Pet First Aid.
Chris Austin, business development director at Edenfield, said: “We have diversified into areas which we think people will really benefit from, such as pet first aid, and hopefully this demonstrates our commitment to what we do.
As well as training and consultancy, Edenfield can also supply clients with equipment such as defibrillators – and train them how to use it.
Chris added: “We are very flexible and responsive to what people want so we are continually looking at what other services we can deliver.

Lead author Alison D. Grant, MBBS, PhD, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, presented the findings of the study at a JAMA media briefing on tuberculosis at the National Press Club.
A major consequence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic in developing countries is the increasing incidence of tuberculosis (TB), according to background information in the article. The cornerstone of TB control programs is the World Health Organization (WHO) strategy known as DOTS (directly observed therapy, short course), which may be effective in controlling drug resistance but has not prevented rising TB incidence in regions with high HIV prevalence.
The impact of HIV on TB is illustrated by data from gold mines in South Africa, where overall TB incidence now exceeds 4,000 per 100,000 population per year (i.e., 4 percent). Tuberculosis incidence was already high in this setting before the spread of HIV infection, largely because of a high prevalence of silica dust exposure. Rising HIV prevalence has resulted in increasing TB incidence, despite well-implemented TB control programs. Additional interventions are required to reverse the rise of TB in such settings.
In collaboration with the mining health service, the study team established a clinic for HIV-infected employees in a gold mining company in South Africa in 1999 to provide specialist care for HIV-infected employees, including preventive therapy (isoniazid and cotrimoxazole). This study evaluates the effect of this intervention. The authors analyzed 1,655 HIV-infected males (median age, 37 years) attending the clinic between 1999 and 2001 (before antiretroviral therapy was available). Median follow-up was 22.1 months. Employees were invited in random sequence to attend a workplace HIV clinic. Isoniazid, 300 mg/d, was self-administered for 6 months among attendees with no evidence of active tuberculosis.
A total of 1,016 of 1,655 men included in the analysis attended the clinic at least once. Six hundred seventy-nine (97 percent) of 702 men eligible to start primary isoniazid preventive therapy did so. The researchers found that the tuberculosis incidence rate before vs. after clinic enrollment was 11.9 vs. 9.0 per 100 person-years, respectively (incidence rate ratio [IRR] after adjustment for calendar period, 0.68 [32 percent reduced incidence]). In further analysis adjusting for calendar period, age, and silicosis grade, the tuberculosis IRR for clinic enrollment was 0.62 (38 percent reduced incidence). In analysis excluding individuals with a history of tuberculosis (and, hence, ineligible for isoniazid preventive therapy), the adjusted IRR for clinic enrollment was 0.54 (46 percent reduced incidence).
Despite our intervention, the TB incidence rate in the postclinic phase remained unacceptably high at 9 per 100 person-years, the authors write.
Additional interventions such as secondary preventive therapy and antiretroviral therapy [which is now being rolled out among the workforce] are required to reduce the very high residual morbidity attributable to TB in this community. Further work is needed to determine how best to use available interventions to minimize TB morbidity in areas where both HIV and TB are highly prevalent, the researchers conclude.

Yesteryear, we all seemed to be happy glugging our wine from a thick rimmed, round and seemingly indestructible wine glass. If you keep your eye out, some of these wine glasses can still be found in circulation today! These glasses tend to make wine ‘disappear’ hiding its aroma and not taking any steps to deliver the wine into the right area of the mouth.
Today however, we are happy to report that more and more of us are looking for something a little more special from our wine glasses, which not only enhances the taste and aroma of the wine – but also adds a sense of occasion to every tipple.
Let’s clear one thing up at this stage, I'm not suggesting that you have to buy 30 different types of wine glasses for every type of wine imaginable, but just to spend a little more time and consideration when choosing your next glass. The revolution that wine glasses have come through in recent years, means you can find a very special wine glass at very normal price.
In my opinion, Royal Doulton design some of the most special red wine glasses available. One of my favourites is the Highclere Red Wine Set. These glasses have been cut with a beautiful design of diamond and wedge cuts offering a modern interpretation of traditionally cut crystal and are supplied in a Royal Doulton presentation box. They are made from crystalline and are perfect for every occasion.
Villeroy & Boch are one of our favourite designers, across their full range they combine excellent quality with beautiful, timeless designs. Their Chardonnay Glasses are no exception. The premium glass has a specially designed classical, elegant shaped bowl from a long stem. The shape of the glass is designed specifically to enhance the aroma and flavour delivery of white wine. The large design of the glass also ensures that the wine can breathe. This glass gives a modern slant to the classic tulip shape.
£18.80 at Kings & Queens, 20% off RRP.
Stolzle has produce fantastic wine glasses for over 128 years. Today, a top supplier to hotels, restaurants and winemakers – their wine glasses are a perfect, durable options for everybody, not just businesses.
One of my favourite wine glasses from their range is the Red Wine Glass from their Weinland Collection. These glasses offer a large bowl, with a narrowed rim to help aerate red wine, and deliver it to the taste zones of the tongue. These design features are matched with elegant simplicity.
Set of 6 at £25.92 at Kings & Queens, 20% off RRP.
Regardless of the reason for buying a high end wine glass, if you want to impress at a dinner party – or simply add a touch of luxury for day to day drinking, there are a large range of luxury wine glasses on the market.
Perhaps the most luxurious is the Sommeliers Black Tie Series from Riedel. This glass pays tribute to Claus Josef Riedel’s first Sommelier Burgundy Grand Cru Glass, which was revealed in 1958. The 1958 release changed the way people drank wine all over the world, the design highlighted the impact that the size and shape of a glass have on the aroma and flavour of a wine. This new black tie series incorporates Sommeliers lines and classic shape in this mouth blown wine glass.
RRP: £90, available from Kings & Queens at £72.
Whether it’s celebrating a special occasion with a bottle of champagne, or for more regular drinking of alternatives such as Cava or Prosecco, the right ‘fizz’ glass adds a touch of luxury to the experience, whilst keeping your glass chilled and full of bubbles.
One of my favourite champagne glasses is the Anton Studio Manhattan Flutes. These have been designed with a thick ice stem, which looks great and provides perfect weighting for a well-balanced glass, which is a joy to hold. Their style is complimented by the fact that they are handmade by skilled craftsmen.
Whatever your reason for buying a new set of wine glasses, whether you have washed your current set to destruction one by one, or simply want a refresh – you can find a large collection of wine glasses at Kings & Queens – all of which have been handpicked from the world’s leading glassware and crystal designers and manufacturers.

Come to unwind, rejuvenate and enjoy a gentle approach to yoga. This class focuses on releasing tensions, gently works towards increased flexibility and strength and allows you to experience deep relaxation. The gentle yoga class is suitable for anyone wanting to practice gentle postures at a slower pace: beginners, people with restricted movement, older people or those getting back into the practice after a lapse.
This class is based on the teaching and practice of New York's renowned yoga master Sri Dharma Mittra. The essential qualities of Dharma’s teachings are imparted to the students through the Shiva Namaskar Vinyasa, a flowing sequence which is both physically and mentally challenging. The practitioner develops strength through a series of balancing poses, twists, backbends and inversions, enabling prana - the vital life force to flow freely through the spinal column and emanate deep into all areas of the physical, metabolic, intuitive and bliss bodies. The class will conclude with guided relaxation. This is a challenging class and will incorporate advanced asana.
Classical yoga postures adapted for pregnancy. It is advisable to start classes after the first trimester. Contact the centre for more details.

I am using Drupal 7 for my website and I want to add a pop up window in my website. I want the pop up window to ask the users a few questions. Does anyone know how to do this? If so please advice.
You should use the popup module in addition to the webform module. You have to create a form, then assign it a page. And on the main content page create an HTML link to your webform, and include the required markup popup.

Liberman Broadcasting, the owner and operator of the Estrella TV network, announced today that esteemed Mexican journalist Pedro Ferriz Hijar has joined the company as news anchor of Cierre de Edición, the network's leading national evening newscast.
A seasoned journalist, Ferriz Hijar has extensive of experience covering politics, government and economic issues across Mexico at some of the country's leading media outlets including Efeckto Noticias, Poder Mexico Radio, Poder America, Hola TV, TV Mexiquense and other news media. He earned a Masters Degree at Universidad Francisco de Vitoria in Madrid, Spain. He also attended Universidad Anahuac del Norte, Universidad Iberoamericana, and Universidad Panamericana in Mexico.
"I am honored and excited to have this opportunity to enter the U.S. market at this extraordinary and fraught moment in the history of North America," said Ferriz Hijar. "The issues covered at Cierre de Edición, including immigration, the disturbing rise of anti-immigrant rhetoric in U.S. politics and the struggles of Latino families are essential. Covering them with one of the best news teams in front of and behind the camera is an amazing opportunity. I'm grateful to Liberman Broadcasting for that chance."
Well known for his charismatic and articulate news delivery, Ferriz Hijar has become perhaps best known for his closing slogan "¡Hagámos historia!" (Let's make history!) at the end of every news show. Ferriz Hijar is the third generation of his family to serve in the news media. His father, Pedro Ferriz de Con, is one of Mexico's most outstanding radio and TV personalities, and his grandfather, Pedro Ferriz Santacruz, was a veteran radio and TV presenter and a pioneer of Mexican television from the early 50s. The family has been on the frontlines in defense of freedom of expression in Mexico, one of the world's most dangerous countries for journalists according to Reporters Without Borders.
"We are delighted to have Pedro bolster our already surging news division," said Andres Angulo, Vice President of News at Estrella TV. "He is the definition of 'destination viewing' for Hispanic families who value experience, knowledge and credibility."
"This is an exciting time at Estrella," added Lenard Liberman, CEO of Liberman Broadcasting. "In markets across America we are providing Latino viewers something they haven't traditionally had on TV – real choice. As a Hispanic-owned broadcaster, we are proud to compete with Telemundo and Univision and to regularly deliver ratings that meet or beat theirs thanks to a robust lineup of entertainment, sports and news. The addition of talent like Pedro only makes us more competitive."
Cierre de Edición is ESTRELLA TV's leading national newscast, featuring news stories on U.S. Hispanics, national and international politics, entertainment, immigration, health care, education and other topics of interest to Hispanics/Latinos. Current events from Mexico, Central and South America are also a significant part of this news show's content Monday through Friday, 10:30 p.m./9:30c.
Since its 2009 launch, Estrella TV has established itself as a top U.S. Hispanic television network across all demos and dayparts. The broadcast network has achieved its fast-track success by developing high-quality, all-original programming produced in-house at its Burbank, Calif. studios featuring well-known stars and popular personalities from the U.S. and Latin America. Estrella TV has built a catalog of more than 7,500 hours of programming now being distributed by the company to broadcasters worldwide. Estrella TV is owned and operated by Liberman Broadcasting, Inc., a leading Spanish-language, minority-owned media and entertainment company and one of the largest Spanish-language radio and television broadcasters in the U.S., based on both revenues and number of stations.

Seve Ballesteros has had a second operation due to complications suffered following the removal of a brain tumour on Tuesday.
La Paz hospital revealed in a statement that the 51-year-old had to undergo another procedure, known as a decompressive craniectomy, after a build-up of pressure inside his skull caused a loss of consciousness.
“The patient, Mr Severiano Ballesteros, showed, 48 hours after surgery, a decreased level of consciousness due to brain swelling, and a decompressive craniectomy was carried out,” the statement read.
Varying reports on the Spaniard’s health have left the hospital since he collapsed at Madrid airport on October 6, but it is now clear that Ballesteros is in a serious condition.
And after reporting that the initial surgery was a success, it would now appear that Ballesteros is still unable to start any kind of treatment until he has recovered sufficiently.
Seve remains one of the game’s most charismatic figures and his five Major wins only partially represent his contribution to the sport.
Further medical bulletins are expected from La Paz hospital on Seve Ballesteros’ condition in the coming hours.

TheOddlySeagull posted a message on command signs?
Hi, well, You don’t need any mod nor plugins for that, vanilla allows you to add « click events » on sign, that can run any commands.
Hi there, well, I don’t know a lot about plug-in coding, but I know a few existing plug-ins, maybe I could help you find some? What kind of plugins are you looking for?

Francis, one of 11 children, lost his mother when he was only four years old. He was educated by the Jesuits and, having been cured twice of serious illnesses, came to believe that God was calling him to the religious life. He desired to join the Jesuits but was turned down, probably because of his age, not yet 17. Following the death of a sister to cholera, his resolve to enter religious life became even stronger and he was accepted by the Passionists. Upon entering the novitiate Francis was given the name Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows.
Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was canonized in 1920.
When we think of achieving great holiness by doing little things with love and grace, Therese of Lisieux comes first to mind. Like her, Gabriel died painfully from tuberculosis, and Therese surely welcomed him with a bouquet of roses. Together they urge us to tend to the small details of daily life, to be considerate of others’ feelings every day. Our path to sanctity, like theirs, probably lies not in heroic doings but in performing small acts of kindness every day.

I have opened up a new board on the forum for those that would like to post their own goodbye. I’m also allowing players to post any contact info in case that is something anyone is interested in doing.
Thanks again to all of you that helped make this server such a big part of my life.
So this is a final farewell. I want to thank all of you that have given a portion of your lives to this server. Whether it was hundreds (thousands?) of hours or just a few here and there – I appreciate every one of you. If I had the time I would list everyone of you by name (well – your original username – thank you mojang for allowing username changes and making it that much less fun to run a server…). I wish I could give each of you a sentence or two to show my gratitude. But I would hate to leave anyone out so I am opting not to do this.
Running this server was frustrating at times. Even infuriating. But for the most part it was extremely fun and for a few years it was one of the highlights of my day. Designing maps, writing plugins (I spent more time writing code than actually playing), creating games and events – I will miss it – I have missed it. It’s been a long time already though and the sadness has passed but the desire has not returned.
There’s only so much time in the day – and sadly I have found that I simply do not have the time required to maintain an active and most importantly a safe server. My priorities have shifted over the last few years as well as my interests. While the memories of playing this game and especially running this server are close to my heart – it’s just not the same anymore. I had hoped that the idea of getting an older version of the server up an running would motivate me to action but it has not. Minecraft just doesn’t hold the same interest to me that it used to.
The forums will remain up for some time but as read-only. The site will remain up as well. I know there are a lot of requests for a copy of some of the past worlds. That is a lot of data to upload somewhere – I will consider it but I make no promises. If I ever do upload it I will post a link to it here and on the forum.
Again – my sincerest thanks to all of you – particularly those of you that have stuck around even up until now. I will miss you.
I’ve posted a little update on things to the forum. A few stats, some ramblings on the past, present, and future of the server.
The reset is finally here. Hopefully all the bugs are worked out.
Super large prize for the first player to craft a beacon!
The server will reset Sept 31st, 2015. This will be called the Joey Gladstone Reset.
1.8 blocks are now available to players logging in with a 1.8 client. If you wish to keep using a 1.7.x client you might be able to do so but it could adversely effect your game experience.
1.8 blocks are not available, but 1.8 clients can now log in. There is still no date on when the server will be 100% 1.8.
I was not able to do a complete restore, but I think the builds on all the servers are there. Inventories, mcmmo stats, money, are all as they were at 12am yesterday.
I’ve got two mirrored drives in the server now so hopefully something this catastrophic won’t happen again.

Bishop Michael Smith presided at the Advent Carol Service in the Cathedral of Christ the King, Mullingar Sunday 22 December 2013.
Among those taking part in the service were the Mullingar Town Band, Cathedral Choir, Lynn Singers, Cathedral Choristers and the choir of St Kenny National School. The carol service was directed by Gerard Lillis.
Click here for photos kindly provided by John McCauley. If other parishes in the Diocese of Meath would like to provide photos from their celebrations, they are welcome to email the diocesan office.
The next phase of the Cathedral’s advent programme represents a focus on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. A penitential service will take place on Monday 23 December at 7.30pm while confessions will be available on Christmas from 12 noon until 5.30pm. The Cathedral is very grateful to the 20 priests from the area who will assist as confessors during the period. Bishop Michael Smith encourages families, in preparation for Mass on Christmas day, to avail of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and, in so doing, to experience the true spiritual blessing of the festive season.
The Bishop will celebrate the Mass of the Lord’s Nativity on Christmas Eve at 10.00pm in the Cathedral of Christ the King.

Overcoming The Fear Of Fills!
This is a subject that crops up almost more than any other when asking students new to me what particular problems they want to overcome. To that end, I hope to allay a few fears and point you in the right direction when it comes to playing fills.
Billy Ward makes a very good point of this in his DVD, Big Time, and although this was something I already taught, I find his explanation ideal to pass on here: much of what we play when drumming we play within our comfort zone. And there is nothing wrong with that. Most times, that comfort zone is achieved as a result of hard practise, so that when we play, these things come to us naturally and without effort � i.e., they are in our comfort zone.
However, there are times that the body position, or hand position, or even the musical genre will throw a drummer outside of his comfort zone � sometimes, and depending upon the skill and experience of that drummer, with detrimental effects.
And with those starting out on the demanding journey toward natural, spontaneous, musically colourful and appropriate fills, the initial hurdle is exactly that � converting their musical �discomfort� zone to their music �comfort� zone.
But what is this comfort zone I keep on about? It�s this; when right handed drummers play a groove, their hands are crossed across their chest, shoulders dropped and a little turned in � a comfortable, familiar position that the drummer spends the majority of his time in. The brain gets quite happy with the body being in this position, the heart, lungs and centre line of the body all pointing in towards the snare, the seat of the kit. A balanced, strong position. Physically, and indeed mentally, he is in his comfort zone.
But what happens the moment we want to play a fill? � we sit up slightly, our hands become uncrossed and arms open up, our chest is exposed, and we are twisting the centre line of our torso slightly towards off centre � and usually towards the ogling audience (a lot of us drummers like to hide behind our kits, so opening up to an audience is not often something we�re happy with). At once, if we are not practised at this, we have catapulted ourselves miles outside our comfort zone.
So, before we look at the construction of fills themselves, we have to practise becoming confident with this open position, and thus allow it to become part of our comfort zone. Once we�ve done this, we have the self-assurance to concentrate on fill structure, fill improvisation and good, clean fill execution.
The way I teach my students to overcome the initial hurdle is to split the idea of fills into two parts. This is the crucial aspect.
b) Once this is mastered, and confidence gained, learning to combine sound groups and using them upon appropriate instruments around the kit, until the idea in the head is played out on the kit without conscious thought.
You must be disciplined enough to ensure you do not move onto to b) without having gained absolute confidence with a). Doing this will cause this method of fill development to fail totally. You need the consummate confidence gained in a) before b) will ever begin to work.
2. Choose one of these to work with.
- BUT DO NOT, IN ANY WAY, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE HITTING!!
The crucial idea here is you rely totally on the sound group. Just let your hands play the sound group, and let them wander � give no attention to what drums you are hitting.
Ensure you practise this for at least two weeks daily. Part a) is designed to get you feeling totally relaxed when you open up your posture and leave the groove in order to fill. It has nothing to do with how the fill sounds. You are concentrating on bringing the act of �going into a fill� into your comfort zone.
The great bonus here, is that 90% of the time, if you rely on the sound group, the fill will take care of itself and sound fine without you �choosing� what to hit. I cannot reiterate enough that you MUST NOT get concerned over what to hit, just put all your faith in playing the sound group.
Play them over and over and over again, using one of the sound groups above until you feel no apprehension when coming off of the groove into a fill.
Then, begin to combine the sound groups � two at a time, then three, then four � play around with as many combinations of the four sound groups as possible, but NEVER thinking about what drums you are hitting � that�s the crucial part!!
Once you�ve mastered this, you can move onto b) which will polish and refine your fills, and have you playing tonally balanced and great sounding fills. We�ll go into this next time, so come back soon for part b). And remember � have faith in those sound groups!

Is The Australian Commercial Real Estate Market Going To Crash?
The boom in the Australian real estate market is not hidden from anyone and has been the talk of the town for long. Investors from within the country and foreign locations have diversified their portfolios by putting their money into commercial properties for higher returns. From high-rise office buildings to inner suburb warehouses, commercial properties have shown an upward trend in prices over the past few years. Melbourne, Perth and Sydney have been the big gainers in the race to earn more profits by commercialising more and more land.
An important factor behind the rise of the commercial real estate for sale in Australia is the low return rate on cash assets and housing plans. The returns from offices are at an all-time high in the current fiscal year with conglomerates making a beeline for state-of-the-art buildings touching the skyline and exuding opulence. The high-end properties are being rented out by blue chip companies which are shelling out millions of dollars to be spent on fancy office spaces. Foreign investments are further driving the prices up with cash-rich deals. In fact, Australia is the second most popular place in the world for investors to establish an Asia-Pacific headquarters. Increasing investment options with the development of inner-city suburbs as property hotbeds is another appealing proposition which is attracting more capital into the industry.
The outskirts of major cities are now becoming more viable investment options such as Paramatta and Melbourne’s city fringe, which have become busier than the CBD. With so much going on in favour of the sector, the cynics are trying to pull things down by repeating the adage that ‘what goes up comes down’. There are various concocted stories of the property bubble going bust in Australia. However, the good news is that no such disaster is on the cards. According to analysts, even if the prices drop by a few percentage points in some specific areas, it is not going to affect the entire country. Here are the top reasons why the Australian commercial real estate market will hang on even in desperate times.
With a population boom in all major metropolitan cities and their suburbs, the number of residential properties and development projects have grown manifolds. Consequently, the demand for retail shopping strips and high streets have increased and will keep on amplifying in the near future. High-end shopping centres with amenities and conveniences like food and beverage outlets and other entertainment zones will be on the higher side as families visit these spots for a fun-filled day out on weekends or holidays. These strips will hold their ground against competition from e-commerce giants like Amazon as they would be anchored by high-end restaurants and pubs and other recreational shops.
The bubble usually bursts when there is a rapid increase in property prices and then a sudden downward spiral in values because of an economic shock like unemployment or oversupply. In Australia, the employment rate increased to 62.10% in June 2018, so this factor is negated. Coming to oversupply, there are certain regions where there has been oversupply, but in other areas, there is an undersupply which balances it out.
The lenders in the commercial real estate sector have a much lower incentive to pay back the loan as compared to housing mortgage. With a stable banking system emerging in Australia through the big names in the industry and Asian Banks making their presence felt in the market, the lending institutions are poised to survive a crisis with ease. The financial risk will be most likely felt offshore, and if there is a distress sale, the property can be easily bought by an established Australian business at lower rates.
It has been historically witnessed that regions which are dependent on one industry are more prone to a property bubble. For example, a town which is primarily dependent on mining sector may face the heat when the industry shuts down. However, most cities in Australia have now diversified and have plenty of industries working in every field of trade and commerce. The immigrant population is currently involved in a variety of professions which have changed the rules of the over-reliance game.
A major reason for the surge in property prices is foreign investment primarily coming from Chinese nationals. The money was getting concentrated in Melbourne and Sydney and thus inflating the demand and subsequently the prices. To curb this rapid increase, the Australian government announced new regulations on foreign investment such as higher stamp duty in the 2017 federal budget. Also, the Chinese government has put restrictions on the amount of money that can be taken out of China by its citizens. This slump in foreign investment will dampen the prospects of an impending property bubble.
The property bubble is a result of low-interest rates which remain low for a very long time. Though the interest rates in Australia are low, they have not been like this always. The banks have already increased the rates after the Reserve Bank and the banking regulator created stricter lending rules for property on retail banks to put a stop on irresponsible lending. This has affected the investors who now have to pay more than they were paying in the previous fiscal year. It is estimated that the pressure on banks would be amplified further when the global rates will go up.
Many believe that Australia is headed towards a crash due to a property bubble just like the USA. However, others beg to differ and reiterate that the USA and Australia are two totally different markets. The lending rules are more stringent here than in the USA. A lot of hype about the bubble has been created by the media and those with a vested interest. If prices have dropped in certain areas, they have gone up in others. Australia is in much better control of its property sector than its counterparts and would not go that way.
The naysayers want to create a blanket of uncertainty and fear in the minds of the investors. However, the picture is not as dark as it is being depicted by some segments. So if you are planning to buy commercial real estate for sale in Australia, you should not be worried as we are looking at a bright future ahead.
