The purpose of these registers is to provide cache size information for up to eight levels of cache containing instruction, data, or unified caches. The processor contains L1 and L2 cache. The Cache Size Selection Register determines which Cache Size Identification Register to select.
Figure 3.18 shows the bit arrangement of the Cache Size Identification Register.
Table 3.41 shows how the bit values correspond with the Cache Size Identification Register functions. See Table 3.42 for valid bit field encodings.
1 = read allocation supported.
1 = write allocation supported.
Indicates number of sets - 1.
Indicates number of ways - 1.
Indicates (log2(number of words in cache line)) - 2.
Table 3.42 shows the individual bit field and complete register encodings for the Cache Size Identification Register. Use this to match the cache size and level of cache set by the Cache Size Selection Register (CSSR). See c0, Cache Size Selection Register.
Table 3.43 shows the results of attempted access for each mode.

Many urban soils lack essential soil biology due to construction impacts and other growing environment challenges. When soil biology is lacking or inadequate, plants are more susceptible to nutrient deficiencies. This may lead to pest and pathogen issues.
Soil Restore is a nutrient and microbiology enhancement product for lawns, shrubs and trees. We apply this product to the top soil layer. This is the primary area of biological activity and area of nutrient cycling.
Soil Restore is a combination of organic nutrient ingredients combined with compost extract which provides plants with a natural source of fertilizer. Soil biology is what nature provides to produce plant nutrients. In order to establish and maintain plant health, you must first “feed the soil”.
Symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria, archaea, and other species of soil fungi, mine the soil for minerals and feed upon organic matter. Protozoa and nematodes feed on bacteria and fungi; then produce nutrients in a form that is readily available to plants.
The microbes we derive are from compost and earthworm castings, which have been laboratory tested by Soil Foodweb Oregon LLC. Organic sources of plant nutrients are added to the mixture just prior to application. Each brew is microscope tested prior to application.

Some feel the songwriting craft is a dying art form in music as Power Pop and Rap dominate the airwaves with music that is for the most part – well not very real. But regardless of how you feel about Pop, or even Rap strong musicianship has remained strong and resultant over the years primarily in Jazz, Funk and R&B. However I must admit there is a resurgence of this type of music in bands like Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R., Take That Rusted Root and Passenger.
The music of Craymo reminds me of the aforementioned artists and bands and more. As a result its subsequent movements cannot be denied its place in our world. So I’m willing to give the 2 latest tracks by Craymo a fair shake. Clearly one the more inspiring musical stories stemming from Florida with “intellectual affirmations like “Be Myself” and rocking “Love You More.” I get the impression Craymo has been making a name for himself around the area with his soulful sound and powerful songwriting for quite some time. There are many more songs featured on his Soundclick page linked above. I mean to write songs like these takes time, and I don’t mean the time it takes to record it either. It takes time to develop yourself as a composer/songwriter – and then get to a place where you can present it to the world. Some of the pictures of Craymo renders a homest portrayal first impression and the first of the two songs “Be Myself” is a true to form Singer-Songwriter-Pop wrapped within a truthful vibe that flows extremely well track to track. It’s passionate, intricate music but goes beyond decent chops mind you. You can tell 2 minutes into the first movement via the seamless timing, amazing playing, and well honed movement you might be in for something truly special here. The second track “Love You More” is seamlessly syncopated blend of all musicians in question especially as a cohesive whole. Much more rocking and upbeat. Both songs are testament to who Craymo is as a person really. It’s also obvious to me that there’s probably a growing cult fan-base totally in love with this guy right now. In fact I will admit I love and respect everything he sings and represents – casual observations about love and live. Despite this he also shares a “real” moments” on “Be Myself”. Regardless of this, there’s a heavy dose of hope and “keep the chin up” throughput. Cover art is a bit amateurish and the mix, although adequate is not to the level of professional recordings within the genera.
Building familiarity within this style one walks away feeling like they listened to something a little truer than accustomed. If you’re a new or old rocker, then odds are you will love one of these songs. If you not familiar with the older style of rock you will become quickly acclimatized to it. It’s safe to say much of today’s music is made up entirely of these yawning melodies, repetitive themes, and superficial vocals. Some of these intangibles reflect the shallow artists themselves. Guys like Craymo are a step back and forward in the right direction simultaneously because it’s starts with a powerful song and a sincere voice delivering it to us.

Fawns found with their dead mother or those born as a result of a pregnant doe being hit by a vehicle, are the only fawns we label as true orphans. These need immediate rescue so that they do not develop problems.
A fawn found in the area where a doe was hit may not necessarily be the fawn of that doe and should not be rescued unless it develops signs of distress.
An orphaned fawn will quickly develop signs of distress indicating that it’s in trouble. Dehydration will be visible within a day or so and is indicated by curling of the ears, ruffling of the fur, and dulling of the eyes. Ear-curling is the first sign seen as the rounded edges of the ears will dry and begin to roll back at the tips.
Injuries are often obvious. Punctures from animal attacks and fractured limbs will become infected quickly with maggots and bacteria. Prompt treatment by a wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian is necessary.
Diarrhea is another life-threatening condition for a fawn. Soiled fur will attract flies and cause maggots to form around the tail as well as the face, between the hooves, and in the developing scent glands on the legs. The maggots will enter the body cavities and begin eating the deer alive. Maggots and maggot eggs are an immediate sign of distress, and action needs to be taken quickly if the fawn is to have a chance of surviving.
Fawns will often be seen lying curled up or on their abdomens, flattening themselves to the ground. A fawn lying flat out on its side with its legs extended is in severe distress.
A hungry fawn will cry out for its mother. This is normal. Extreme and continuous vocalizations for an extended period of time can be a sign that the mother is not returning.
Great care must be taken, however, with a crying fawn. The mother may not respond because you are in the area, making you believe that the fawn has been abandoned, and some fawns can be very vocal and demanding naturally. When dealing with a crying fawn, an examination should be done to determine if there are other signs of problems, such as dehydration.

The Water Authority of Dickson County Engineering Department is pleased to meet the customer’s needs, from the earliest planning of a project to the retirement of pipe. Below are printable forms that are commonly needed by the engineering department, including the requirements for water and sewer details.
From planning in the office to supervising and working in the field, the engineering department is involved with many phases of projects. In order to prevent any water or sewer issues during building and beyond, the engineering team meets with new developers to review their construction plans for design feasibility. The engineering department coordinates with the construction crew to insure pipe is laid accurately. Technicians operate GIS and GPS equipment in the field to survey the water and sewer system. Accurate maps are maintained by entering the collected data into computer design software. The engineering department measures and calculates costs for new line extensions. Staff also coordinates with local government in ways such as city planning meetings and obtaining easements.

A company represents your business and its taxing policy. In addition, a company brings a host of different identifiers and ways it can be used.
After you add a company, you can edit a company.
A company started in the New Company wizard must be completely defined and reviewed before the company is activated.
On the Organization tab, click the link of a company that is In Progress.
In the New Company wizard, complete the configuration of the company and click Finish.
Each company added must be activated before AvaTax processes transactions for that company .
On the Organization tab, select the check box next to a company name with a status of In Progress or Inactive.
Confirm the companies to be activated and click OK.
A message indicating successful activation appears above the company name. Click Close.
The status of the company is now Active.
Deactivating an active company makes it unable to process transactions .
On the Organization tab, click a Company Name link with a status of Active.
On the Company Setup tab, choose Inactive for the company status.
Inheriting a tax profile make sense when a child company and its parent company sell similar products and services into the same jurisdictions.
On the Organization tab, click the Company Name link of a child company.
On the Company Setup tab, choose Inherit Tax Profile for tax profile.
Transactions for a parent company and one or more child companies can be combined. We recommend making this change between the 1st and the 5th of the month after the period you want to make the change effective in order to avoid affecting returns filing and funding mid-cycle.
On the Company Setup tab, choose No for separate reporting entity.
Avalara generates one liability worksheet for the combined transactions. Tax return reports also reflect the combined transactions.
The default company controls where the company is displayed and used for reports. The default company is identified by an orange asterisk ( * ) before the status.
AvaTax requires one company be the default company. The first company added automatically becomes the default company.
While any company can be selected as the default company, the company most commonly used or the company with the most transaction activity is usually selected as the default company. If AvaTax receives a transaction that doesn't include a company code , AvaTax uses the company code of the default company when processing the transaction.
On the Organization tab, a separate reporting entity is indicated by an orange section mark ( § ) in the Company Code column.
Instead of deleting a company, deactivate it .
On the Organization tab, select the check box next to the Company Name.
Confirm the company that will be deleted.

[Avionics Today 07-15-2015] The United States Navy has awarded Bell Boeing, a strategic alliance between Bell Helicopter and Boeing, a contract to deliver five Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft to Japan, marking the first sale of the aircraft through the U.S. government’s foreign military sales program. The contract for the Block C aircraft includes support, training and equipment. The V-22 tiltrotor aims to enhance capabilities and provide a platform for relief efforts in response to natural disasters for Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force.
“The distinct performance envelope of the V-22 will provide Japan with an ideal solution when the need arises. When assets are required on-target in a location without an airstrip, the self-deployable Osprey provides customers with an unrivaled combination of speed, range, and payload to execute a variety of missions,” said Mitch Snyder, executive vice president of military business for Bell Helicopter.
The V-22 is currently in service with the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command. This year, the U.S. Navy announced its decision to procure 44 V-22 aircraft.

This week I hit three states, speaking to kids in WI, training youth leaders in TX and MN, speaking at a church in MN and teaching a parent workshop. Then later this month I’ll be in two more states… maybe even near you.
It would be fun to see you. Check out my calendar and see if I’m coming to a city near you!

I tried placing an order last night with my $100 rewards certificate. It shows up on checkout with a button that I pressed. The only thing is......my total was $82.66. It gave an error and said that the amount exceeds what is there. I called about it and was explained that unless I paid for items that was $100 or more before taxes....then I could not use my $100 reward certificate for just $82.66.
Is there a reason why I cannot just use rewards like I do a Gift Card? I mean......we did earn those points after all and should be able to use it however we choose to, but Best Buy is really making things difficult for loyal customers for not every order is gonna be exact. It will usually be under. At least in my case.
There should be a change that makes certificates this way. Let me use the amount I need and use it for a future purchase. Is that really so hard to do? Either that or make it like Amazon does. Let us gather the points, put how much money balance that would translate into money and then when we check out items and start to pay......we can use the points automatically, no matter the cost amount of being under the rewards amount and then the points don't need to be issued (really dumb idea by-the-way) and the points can stay in there without worry that they will expire.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. My understanding is that it is that your pre-tax total would need to meet or be greater than the value of the certificate you are trying to redeem. While My Best Buy certificates are accepted as a form of payment with Best Buy, they do not have any monetary value, so we are unable to provide change. My Best Buy Elite and Elite Plus members do have the option to bank points. My Best Buy Core members can choose to have points automatically issued in $5, $10, or $20 allotments. The system will always issue the largest cert amount possible for available points. Promotional certificates, certificates issued due to a tier change or account inactivity may be issued as a single certificate.
I understand that points have no montary value, but how is it that Amazon has points and I can use my points any way I like? I am comparing Apples to Apples here too. If I use my credit card and bank points at Amazon, I can use those points any way I wish. No matter the amount. Those points at Amazon have no value, other than at Amazon.com.
Now enter Best Buy. I bank points (pretty much the same way, only by purchasing with any credit card or the Best Buy card) and then when points hit a certain amount, I can issue a reward certificate, but then I am stifled by using it any way I wish to for any amount. It shouldn't matter. I understand that rules are different, but it shouldn't be. Hope that makes sense.
We would not be able to provide you with an option that is not under the Terms and Conditions of the My Best Buy program, however, if you are an Elite or Elite Plus member, you should have the option to bank any points that you are earning. If your points are banking, you should be able to decide when certificates are issued, and for what value. If you are not banking, you may not be able to choose the value of your certificates, particularly if they are set to automatically issue.
If you have any ideas on changes that you would like to see with the My Best Buy program, you're welcome to share them with us on Best Buy IdeaX.
I am an Elite plus member. I can bank the points and issue the certificates at will. What I'm saying is I had 5000+ points, but the highest you can issue a reward certificate is $100. I issued the $100 and printed it out from my printer. I went online to make a purchase and saw that button for the $100 certificate. It was my very first time using the reward certificate online, but upon clicking on it......it said I could not use it, because the $82.66 is not enough. <br><br>Even when I spoke to a rep over-the-phone.....they said that there is nothing in writing stating that you must be equal or exceed the certificate amount. So, in essence, we must find out the hard way. <br><br>As far as I'm concerned, you reps just stating that it cannot be changed is a total lie IMHO. You guys decided to change policies awhile back and when it changed, your customers had to pay the price. I'm talking about getting points for purchases and now we have to choose on 18 months or whatever financing only or get the points only. We used to get both. So, you see. Changes can be made, but only if Best Buy deems it worthy enough.<br><br>I see absolutely no reason why you guys cannot be like Amazon with your points. Best Buy can do it easily. Like I said though. Best Buy chooses not to, because why should they? Best Buy forces their customers to spend their certificates (their way) and since nothing will land on the exact price of any certificate issued, well......it doesn't hurt that they will spend those extra actual money to complete the transaction. <br><br>You can call it any way you want Fey-BBY, but the bottom line is Best Buy wants a profit and I feel it's pretty shady to make me spend over the amount when all I want to do is do something quick and easy. I put in a suggestion and I bet it lands on deaf ears.
"Reward certificates are coupons for discounts off future purchases at Participating Properties and may be redeemed only for a discount off purchase amounts equal to or greater than the sum of the reward certificate(s) presented for redemption, excluding "Non-Qualifying Redemptions" (see below). Reward certificates are not transferable and may be used only by the member to whom issued. Reward certificates may be used in conjunction with most other discounts or offers toward the purchase of products, not to exceed the purchase amount. Unless noted otherwise on the reward certificate, each reward certificate will expire 60 days from the issuance date. Reward certificates have no cash value and no change will be given for reward certificate redemption. Reward certificates may be used only once. Reward certificates expire at 11:59 p.m. CT on the expiration date shown on the reward certificate."
While I can appreciate that you may have been unaware of these terms when you selected the amount to issue your certificate in, as this is how the program terms are currently stated, we may be unable to provide you with a different outcome in regards to your current situation. I believe that choosing between promotional financing and receiving points has also been a part of the program terms for several years. I would recommend taking care when choosing your certificate values in the future, particularly if you have an idea in mind of what you would like to purchase. You're always welcome to visit the program terms online or reach out to us if you have a question prior to issuing or redeeming your certificates.
Ideas submitted to Best Buy IdeaX are not only monitored and responded to by moderators and members of our online community, but they are also monitored by our internal business teams. This is one of many ways we review program, product, and processing ideas from our customers and employees. I think your idea of re-issuing points back for unused portions of redeemed certificates is an interesting one to consider. We really do appreciate your feedback about this.

The history of dentistry is long and interesting.
It includes millennia of treatments, hundreds of myths and misunderstandings about the mouth and teeth, and thousands of amusing and amazing stories.
In this post Forster Dental Centre is going to take a look at some of the most interesting facts, stories, and historical treatments.
So, prepare yourself for tales of the strange, historical, and sometimes even factual!
Donkey’s Milk. In ancient Greece, donkey’s milk was used as a mouthwash and to bolster the strength of the gums and teeth.
Roman Mouthwash. The main ingredient in Roman mouthwash sounds a little odd to modern ears. The Romans believed swishing urine around in your mouth would stop your toothache and help your breath. While this sounds totally unbelievable, the ammonia in urine is a great naturally occurring cleaning agent. It’s also a natural whitener, so it improved smiles. But, oh, what that must have tasted like!
Fingernails. Some ancient people believed that if you trim your fingernails on a Friday, any toothache you have will be banished for a week.
In Norway scientists work on a special facility for storing baby teeth.
Dentists don’t care about patient pain. This is certainly not true at Forster Dental Centre. Our treatments are designed to be painless, and we offer a range of anaesthesia options to ensure a painless dental experience.
Some researchers say women smile 62 times a day, while men only smile 8 times a day.
The most valuable tooth belonged to Sir Isaac Newton. One of his teeth was sold in 1816 in London for $3,633, or nearly $35,700 in today’s money (almost three times what a tooth from John Lennon sold for in 2011!). The tooth was set in a ring.
The earliest dentist, who lived in Egypt over 5,000 years go, was known by the name Hesi-Re.
Tree twigs were the first toothbrushes. Chewing on the tips of the twigs spread out twig fibers, which were then used to clean the teeth.
It seems counter-intuitive but the cotton candy machine that made widespread production cotton candy possible was co-invented by a dentist. Before it was cotton candy, the airy confection was called “fairy floss.” But, at Forster Dental Centre we strongly recommend against using cotton candy in place of dental floss!
Teeth whitening is harmful as it can damage the teeth. Teeth whitening done professionally will cause no damage to the teeth enamel but it may cause teeth sensitivity and gum redness in the short-term.
Women lose a tooth for each child they have. More of an ‘old wives tale’ than a myth, it is nonetheless untrue. Hormonal changes while pregnant can lead to excess bacteria in the mouth that can cause gum disease. But this is easily treated, and should not lead to tooth loss.
Snaggleteeth. Believe it or not, some Japanese women are using cosmetic dentistry practices to give themselves the appearance of crooked teeth. This is meant to make them look younger, and crooked teeth in women are considered attractive by many Japanese. The good news is that real teeth remain below the crooked cosmetics. Recipients of this treatment can still bite and chew correctly, but they do run the risk of developing a lisp.
What if there was no Tooth Fairy? Before the Tooth Fairy ever existed, Australian and English children dropped their first baby tooth into a mouse hole believing this practice would ward off toothaches. In Brazil, children toss the tooth outside hoping a bird will pick it up. The bird does not accept dirty teeth and will not leave a gift if a tooth looks. In this way, the bird supports good brushing habits. If the tooth is clean, the bird leaves behind a gift or money to replace the tooth.
At Forster Dental Centre, we provide every patient with care so that they can maintain healthy teeth and a beautiful smile for life! We provide an extensive range of dental services from preventative dentistry to restorative dental options along with the latest in cosmetic dentistry solutions for straighter and whiter teeth.
Take Home Teeth Whitening for $299 only.

Each corner is individually cut - no tearing or separating pieces of cardboard. Our exclusive individual pieces make the folding/assembly quicker than many others that have to be torn and separated first.
The first one is awkward and requires patience, after that it makes perfect sense and is a Snap!

If you’ve visited the Sevierville area, chances are you’ve spent some time at the Tanger Outlet mall. Just in time for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, Tanger Outlets is set to roll out with 2 brand new stores!
Opening this Friday, on November 21, 2014, at 10 a.m., visitors will be able to add to their shopping experience with these new stores: The North Face and Pandora.

Since its introduction in May 2018, the new online divorce platform has seen 23,000 applications, with 13 petitions filed on Christmas Day! The platform is seen as being easy to use and cost effective.
Family Law in the UK treats the divorce and the division of matrimonial finances as separate, meaning that, whilst you can technically file for a divorce online, you will need to agree the financial settlement separately and it’s likely that you will need to enlist the advice of a solicitor to guide you through and formalise the process. Matrimonial finances are those assets which are regarded as belonging to both parties and usually include the matrimonial home, savings, pensions and investments.
In more complex situations there can be technical pitfalls to consider when it comes to the division of pensions, business assets and inherited assets, which may require specialist advice from a Family Law Solicitor in order to ensure these are dealt with properly.
Here at Banner Jones, we can offer a fixed-free initial consultation with one of our experienced divorce solicitors to discuss the options available to out and to assist you throughout the process.
Law firm continues to expand reach to better service the needs of clients.
Leading Derbyshire law firm Banner Jones has expanded its Family Law team with the appointment of Solicitor, Adam Kidd, to its Chesterfield office.

For the first time in my life I'm glad I'm not a long draw !
This is the program in hunting filter.
You can always make a weak arrow shoot. I'm not saying Brian is wrong. Maybe I'm doing the program wrong.
I'm just testing these out.
Yes sir. I trying to figure out what/if there's a difference between the Rampage & Rampage LD.
Do they take the Gold Tip scree in weights.
I was reading something somewhere about Barrell shaped arrows. I didn't bookmark it, nor do I remember where it was.
I just needed something to give my mind a break from the quest from my perfect arrow.
I'll pickup my quest after Christmas our later.
I'll let you know how these work out. I seem to recall that your draw weight is slightly less so you may be able to put more weight up front.
With the carbon-to-carbon measurement at 31.25", with a 100 grain brass insert and wearing a 100-grain point, my FOC should be in the neighborhood of 17-18% and the arrow, by the calculator, should be a little overspined.
If I need it, I can go up to a 175 grain point and not be underspined and push the FOC up around 20%.
My new "light" arrow configuration is going to be 550 grains. I'll see if I can fit a second sight tape on my slider to switch back and forth between FOC and whitetail arrows.

Wouldn't 2 sight tapes be confusing?
I found Saturday after I bought those arrows my bow has the 31" modules. I thought it had the 32" modules.
Let me know if you get the 2 sight tapes to work out, I was thinking about doing something similar. I was just going to put marks on my sight tape for the whitetail arrows.
What kind of slider do you have? I have the MBG pure driven.
MBG Ascent Ambush. I played around with SFA a bit at lunch and I'm not sure how well that's going to work. Marking your tape may be more practical, precise and a much better use of time.
That's what Photoshop is for Print the tape to an image. Then edit in Photoshop and add a diff color marks or whatever. I scan the packages sight tapes, then use them as templates for my own that are exactly how I like them.
I would be a little concerned about the tune of each one of these set ups being different, possibly? Let us know if that type of set up on your 2 arrows and 2 sight tapes work. Good luck and keep the info and talk/comments/set UPS coming. Interesting to see what everyone else is doing or trying.
That's definitely a legitimate concern and I'm rapidly leaning farther and farther towards just shooting a strong 550 grain arrow and keeping things simple.
Since the draw length on my bow is 31" instead of 32" how will that affect my arrow spine?
Will the 340's work or so I still need 300 or 250's?

What spine are you shooting?
How did you determine you were on the edge of having a weak spone?
A weak arrow can always be tune. Now that I said that. I will say all bows above 30 in draw and above 330 fps need a 300 spine. With normal front weight. If your going to add weight to get a higher foc you will need a 250 spine.
I understand your trying to learn. Hell we are all trying to learn, but this has been told a lot in this thread.
Go to pinwheel ontarget and down load the program. Do all the playing you want with it. But no matter what. If your looking for any amount of weight up front. I bet the program tells you 250 spine.
At that point stop listening to everyone here. Go buy you some arrows. Tune the bow and go have fun.
Pushbutton I'm shooting black eagle deep impacts .350 and muddy let me know I was right on the edge when he made my arrows. And that I would be fine. And they have been.
This has been a great thread and like enewman said we've all learned something from it.
I just reread what I wrote. It sounds rude. By no means did I mean for it to sound like that.
I have the over analyze problem. I think they call it OCD. Haha. I do reach a point that I think it becomes a waist of time. I've been bare shaft tuning. I'm beginning to think its a waist. My form is not good enough.
What I'm been doing is paper tuning starting at 6 ft and back up three ft at a time out to 20 yards. And make sure I have a group of arrows all bullet holes.
I do think bare shaft bullets holes out to 20 yards would be great. But I do not have the form nor do I hunt with bare shaft.
I think you can tune just about any arrow to shoot, but I do think it's easier when the spine is close to what you need. The bad thing is for a correct spine and a heavy foc your overly long draw is a problem. Haha. That's what us short people say to try to justify being vertically challenged.
Initially I was put off a little by your reply. Then I remembered all my bad days and I was fine!
I'm being told by people who's opinion I respect that what I'm shooting is fine and others I'm to weak.
I'm looking for a way, procedure, process or whatever to determine myself what it is that I Like, want, or ?????
To me this is in intriguing problem. :-) I really enjoy intriguing problems? But if you enjoy something is it still a problem?

It's kind of like paper tuning. I have never done it. Most say why waist the time go straight to walk back. I've been playing with paper and I do see a advantage. But again is it worth it. That is what I'm working on now.

all things in moderation guys...........................moderation. building an extremely light arrow can be just as tricky as building a heavy arrow. the middle road is still where you can have your cake and eat it too.
Haha I do nothing in moderation. I'm the guy that's says, here hold my beer.
Here's an interesting anomaly is just discovered.
I built one Goldtip Expedition Hunter when I bought my bow. It has Gold tip 2" vanes. not sure of the glue.
I's 29.0625 Inches knock to Carbon the Balance Point is 19.0625'' giving me an FOC of 15.591%.
The 6 arrows I had built last Saturday are Goldtip XT Hunters with Blazers and 2 part epoxy glue.
They're 29.0625" long the Balance Point is 18.8750" giving me an FOC of 14.946%.
Are the Goldtip vanes lighter?
Is it worth to chase the .645 percent?
Last edited by Pushbutton2; 11-21-2014 at 07:54 PM.
I would have thought it would take more then that to make 1% difference. I think I saw where muddyfuzzy wrote around 20 gns to add like 2% gain. No way the goldtip vanes are that much lighter. ???
According to Bohning.com the Blazers weigh 6 Grains. giving me 2.4 grains extra on the back.
Never would have thought that little would make that big of a difference.
Maybe the difference is also in the amount of glue used also ?
Same shop built both arrows.
Here's the spreadsheet I made.

I set my 100 grain inserts in my new Rampage 250s yesterday afternoon. With any luck they will go in the jo-jan this weekend. I couldn't stand it and screwed one of my slick tricks into one of the shafts. I don't know how to explain the feeling I have looking at this unfletched shaft with a broadhead in it other than "It's just BEGGING to kill something."
FWIW, the interior and exterior dimensions seem to be exactly the same as my Easton Axis 300s and the perfectly routine HIT insert installation supports that. There is a big difference in stiffness between the two, however. I don't have a deflection gauge, but I can easily tell the Rampage from the Axis with my eyes closed by flexing.
my tablets not doing it thing.
I just edited it into my post about it.
Can you think of anything else I need to add/edit to it?
my Goldtip arrows have the deal on the back of the insert where I can add some more screw in weight from the knock side if I want to add more.

No pics of mine but im shooting bloodsport fps hunters 350 spine, bohning 4" wrap, three nitro 2" vanes, bloodsport nock and insert. Im running 50gr insert wt with 100gr tip. Arrow is 25.5" carbon to carbon. Bow is an xpedition xcentric 27" draw and 67-68ish pounds. Foc on arrow is 16.3%. Should shoot great. Hope to get to shoot tomorrow.
Muddy, whats your thoughts on my set up?
Sounds like you are right where you need to be.
Year supposed to get the good heads for yourself.
With that head and the arrow muddy built. All I can say is dang.

It had been a long journey for Marie in her battle with Pye Ltd, involving many years of burning the midnight oil; immersing herself in Patent Law; gathering the evidence of Pye’s infringement of her Patent covering the truncated sound reproducing stylus. A journey that had brought in its wake a lot of stress and upheaval for her and the family. Finances were so tight in the Killick household that her solicitor had to wire her money for the fare to London! Legal victory on Monday 21st December would, she hoped, bring an end to the poverty that she and the children had endured for ten years. Soon she hoped to restart her manufacturing business and move to have her other patents and patent applications around the world restored, to protect her invention.
Now finally she had reached her destination – the High Courts of Justice in the Strand, London. She was accompanied by her two eldest daughters, Dawn and Cynthia. As she strode through the cavernous building, she felt the excitement of the moment take hold of her. She searched the lists of court cases displayed in a glass cabinet in the great hall. There it was: Killick V Pye Ltd, to be heard in Chancery Division Court 2. The eminent patent judge, Justice Lloyd-Jacob would hold the outcome of her hard work and sacrifice in his hands. She felt confident that British Justice would not let her down.
Here is a short extract from A Sound Revolution: Chapter 33 Infringement or Not?
“Mother’s attention returned to the Judge who was covering a point of evidence of the opposition’s expert witness, Mr Myer.
Pye were not ready to give up the fight. When Marie was awarded judgement in her favour in the Chancery Court, in the Royal Courts of Justice in London, they lodged an appeal to the Appeal Court. The three appeal judges, Master of the Rolls (Lord Evershed), Lord Justice Romer and Lord Justice Ormerod reviewed the evidence and to our joy upheld the judgement of Justice Lloyd-Jacob that Pye Radio had indeed infringed her Letters Patent covering her invention of a truncated record stylus.
Marie had the final legal victory; there were no grounds on which Pye Radio could appeal to the House of Lords. We were jubilant – now at last Marie could, after the assessment of the damages Pye owed her, restart her business and enjoy the fruits of her invention in a growing musical industry. The anxious months of waiting for the decision of Court of Appeal was over.
Marie Killick leaving the Royal Courts of Justice in the London after her victory against Pye Ltd.
Her damages, when awarded, would enable her to pursue other companies who had been manufacturing her stylus since the restoration of her British Patent in September 1951. Marie was thrilled to be able to be captain of her ship once more. The family would, when damages were settled, have a home of their own again; something they had been denied since having to sell her house in Esher to finance the legal cost of the case, before having to apply for Legal Aid once all her assets had been sold.
Marie Killick during her stay in London after Pye Ltd lost their appeal the Court of Appeal.
Just one of the many reports of Marie Killick’s victory against Pye Ltd when they lost their appeal in the Appeal Court in London.
“A 40-year-old widow inventor walked out the Law Courts in London yesterday feeling £5 million better off. It was the end of the Case of the Sapphire Needle – and she had won.
‘But this should mean £5 million to me.’ Two appeal judges had ruled, at the end of a 20-day, £20,000 law suit, that Mrs Killick was the inventor of a sapphire stylus for long-playing gramophone records.
The judges decided, too, that Pye Ltd., the radio firm, had infringed Mrs. Killick’s patent for the stylus.
They dismissed an appeal by Pye against a decision of Mr Justice Lloyd-Jacob, who had found Mrs Killick’s patent infringed and ordered an inquiry into the matter of damages.
Said Mrs Killick, who started her own engineering business 20 years ago: ‘I had the manufacture of the stylus stopped by an injection. Now I shall start making it myself.
This decision means I am the only person who has this stylus. Manufacturers all over the world have awaited this decision.
Mrs Killick, who lives at Royal Crescent, Brighton, invented her revolutionary needle during the war when she was making recording cutters for the Forces.
In 1945 she took out Patent No. 603606. It lapsed in 1949 for non-payment of fees, but was restored in 1951.
“In 1946 I was given a £58,000 contract, but it was broken after I produced £10,000 worth because some of the big combines began making the same type of needle.
“In 1948 a company offered me £75,000 for my patent. I refused to sell.
The Board of Trade had told me that more than three million sapphire stylus have already been sold. I shall claim royalties on all of them.
I have 25 writs ready to serve on companies in Britain.
In America I understand, 78 million dollars worth of sapphire styluses have been sold. I intend to sue all companies there which have infringed my patent.
Lord Justice Ormerod said yesterday that the needle gave high-quality reproduction for a considerable time.
The needle was flattened and bevelled at the end, so that it rode on the sides of the record groove.
Pye claimed that Mrs Killick’s patent was too wide to be enforced. “In our judgement there is no reason why she should not frame her claim in the broad way she has.” said the judge.
Pye also claimed that their needle was a “flattened sphere” but it still had a bevel on it.
This is a draft copy (unfinished) of Marie’s account of her battle to get Justice!
"Riches to rags – that's my story. Soon I shall be one the wealthiest women in Britain, a multi-millionairess. But only a few months ago I was living in slum conditions. And cooking my children's food over a backyard fire because I couldn't pay the gas bill.
For ten terrible years I fought poverty, misfortune and injustice... I fought them to regain the riches and recognition that were mine – and my children's by right.
My fortune balanced on the point of a sapphire stylus – what laymen call a long-playing gramophone-needle. I invented that stylus twelve years ago. Last July, Appeal Court judges ruled that my patent had been infringed – a polite word for 'pirated'.
The Court's decision means that I can claim money from firms all over the world who have manufactured and sold my invention... I am owed millions of pounds in damages... One American firm alone admits that its debt to me is over £1,500,000.
I've known wealth and success before – won by my skill as a professional engineer. By the end of the war I had my own £100,000 business. I was on my way to the top in those days.
In 1947 I landed a £58,000 contract to supply my stylus to a British firm. I was flying all over the world negotiating other contracts … then came the crash.
I discovered that large combines were manufacturing and selling my invention... Almost overnight the bottom fell out of my business – and my world.
I shall never forget that terrible day when I called my staff together – some of them were earning up to £2,000 a year – and told them they were sacked. It nearly broke my heart, but I had to do it.
At this time I had a £15,000 house at Esher, Surrey, with four servants, two secretaries and a children's governess. In the garage was a limousine that once belonged to Lord Roseberry.
The collapse of my business cut my income from several thousand pounds a year to nothing. To pay off enormous business debts I had to sell my lovely home and sack the servants. I kept the governess to look after the children while I battled for my rights, but soon she too had to go. I also had to sell the race-horse I was having trained. She was a lovely little mare called “Miri”, a daughter of Five Thousand Guineas winner “Abbot's Trace”.
I decided to go to Switzerland to collect evidence for the coming legal battle. With me I took the children and my mother. It was while I was in Switzerland that I discovered that I had powerful and ruthless enemies. People who would stop at nothing to hinder or destroy my campaign for justice.
One night I was awakened by the sound of a voice in the living-room. Tip-toeing downstairs, I saw the German children's nurse (whom I'd recently hired) speaking on the telephone. She was passing on information that she could have gained only from my private papers.
I reported the girl to the local police who soon discovered that her passport and references were forgeries. She had obviously been planted on me as a spy.
After nine months in Switzerland I returned to England. My bank balance was dwindling fast, so I took a small cottage in Hertfordshire for a few pounds a week.
I couldn't afford a nanny any longer and had to look after my two small daughters as well as handle my business affairs. I thought this was hardship enough – but I didn't know then of the poverty and misery that lay ahead.
For the next year or so I had to change homes several times as the rent became too much of a strain on my slender resources. I dragged myself and my children to country cottages, to boarding-houses and cheap flats in seedy parts of London. (I moved over 80 times during my ten-year campaign).
About this time I was expecting a baby, my son Nigel, now nine. It was a difficult birth – a ten-months baby – and for two months I was critically ill in a London hospital. Those two months were hell. I lay in my hospital bed, weak and sick with worry about my children and having temporarily abandon my fight for them.
I shall never forget leaving hospital with my new baby – to face life in a one-room-and-kitchen flat in London's Lancaster Gate. It was just a slum, but it was all I could afford.
Can you imagine trying to bring up three children – two girls aged eight and seven, and a baby – in one room? When that room is doubling as a campaign headquarters? And all on £15 a month?
My day began before six o'clock in the morning when I got up and rushed through the housework, fed the children and got the girls off to school. Then my real work began, seeing accountants, lawyers and collecting and compiling information. I had more papers and legal documents than furniture and food in the ghastly hovel! Often I had to take the baby with me as I dragged from one office to another, all over London.
Back in that dreadful room I worked till the early hours of the morning writing up notes and studying law books. I was exhausted and already suffering from malnutrition. Often my food was bread and cheese. Like any mother, I starved to feed my children.
Some nuns at a local convent heard that I had fainted in the street from hunger and exhaustion. I was invited by the Mother Superior to a special meal. I shall never forget that feast – chicken and fruit salad and cream. It was the best meal I'd ever eaten – or am ever likely to. I sold all my beautiful clothes, most of them Paris models, to buy food and fuel. I was really desperate before I sold the jewellery my mother gave me.
I was on my last legs when some kind friends in Putney took me and my children into their home for a few months. But I couldn't impose on their generosity for ever, and took a small flat nearby. It wasn't long before that large wolf was back at the door. I got into debt for rent, gas and electricity. The tradesmen refused to serve me. The final humiliation was having the gas and power cut off and having to cook the children's food over a fire in the garden. The children thought it was great fun! The neighbours thought I was mad.
Cooking in the garden when gas and electricity were cut off.
A local welfare officer advised me to leave the children with foster-parents until my health and fortune improved. It broke my heart to have to agree.
I soon realised I couldn't go on living without my children. To raise money I sold the remaining £1,000 worth of my precious engineering equipment. I'd been hoarding it for the happy day when I'd need it again.
With the money I rented a furnished house at Towcester, Northants, and sent the girls to a local private school. For a while life became a little more pleasant. But the relentless legal battle went on, eating up my money and strength.
Soon I was back in seedy one-roomed flats in the mean streets of London. Rumours went round that I was an “odd character”. Why, people asked, did a woman leave a young family to look after themselves all day? Why did she leave the house early every morning, carrying a bulging brief-case, and not return until after dark? What was she up to?
I got poison-pen letters that denounced me as a fiend and monster. Other letters threatened my life.
For several days a police car parked near my flat, but I was never approached. I suppose the police were investigating some wild report about my “suspicious conduct”.
Things became so unbearable that in 1953 I moved to Lowestoft and rented a tiny cottage there."
The music industry was shaken by the judgement against Pye Radio for infringement. Her patent case had made legal history.
Letters of congratulations poured in. Some address only to Madam Sapphire, The Patent Office, London and still they found their way to Marie, who was staying at the Piccadilly Hotel in London at the time.
The ink on the envelopes have faded with time but the memories of their arrival in the Killick household has not; there were sackfuls. There were also, of course, begging letters and even one or two proposals of marriage!
The culmination of her legal victory was a very busy time for Marie as, with her accountants and solicitor, she set about to get down to the business of accessing her damages from Pye Ltd.

Often called a mouth protector, a mouthguard is a device designed to protect the teeth during athletic activities. There are three types of mouthguards: stock, mouth-formed and custom. Fit, protection level and price varies as you go up the list. While protecting the teeth from damage, mouthguards also offer added protection for those who wear braces or have bridgework, as well as protection from damage to the soft tissue inside the mouth.
Although the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) only requires mouthguards be used in football, lacrosse, and ice and field hockey; the ADA (American Dental Association) recommends they be used in sports where there is a chance damage to the teeth including basketball, boxing, martial arts, volleyball, skateboarding, wrestling and 19 additional sporting activities. If your sport or activity can result in your teeth and mouth coming in contact with any hard surface or with other players, you should wear a mouthguard during practice and competition.
What to Look for in a Mouthguard?
You'll want a mouthguard that is flexible and fits well. Its fit should allow it stay in place during both practice and competitions while giving you a good degree of comfort. The mouthguard you choose should let you speak normally and not limit your breathing in any way. You also want a mouthguard that is strong and durable, won't tear, has no taste or odor and is simple and easy to clean after each use.
If you think a mouthguard would benefit you during your sporting and recreational activities—give us a call for advice.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility of a randomised controlled trial of an internet intervention for low back pain (LBP) using three arms: (1) usual care, (2) usual care plus an internet intervention or (3) usual care plus an internet intervention with additional physiotherapist telephone support.
DESIGN AND SETTING: A three-armed randomised controlled feasibility trial conducted in 12 general practices in England.
PARTICIPANTS: Primary care patients aged over 18 years, with current LBP, access to the internet and without indicators of serious spinal pathology or systemic illness.
INTERVENTIONS: The 'SupportBack' internet intervention delivers a 6-week, tailored programme, focused on graded goal setting, self-monitoring and provision of tailored feedback to encourage physical activity. Additional physiotherapist telephone support consisted of three brief telephone calls over a 4-week period, to address any concerns and provide reassurance.
OUTCOMES: The primary outcomes were the feasibility of the trial design including recruitment, adherence and retention at follow-up. Secondary descriptive and exploratory analyses were conducted on clinical outcomes including LBP-related disability at 3 months follow-up.
RESULTS: Primary outcomes: 87 patients with LBP were recruited (target 60-90) over 6 months, and there were 3 withdrawals. Adherence to the intervention was higher in the physiotherapist-supported arm, compared with the stand-alone internet intervention. Trial physiotherapists adhered to the support protocol. Overall follow-up rate on key clinical outcomes at 3 months follow-up was 84%.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the feasibility of a future definitive randomised controlled trial to determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the SupportBack intervention in primary care patients with LBP.
TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN31034004; Results.

Since summer is finally upon us, I'm busting out the dresses and skirts. I visited Ljubjana for the first time this weekend and even though I explored next to nothing of the city, it was a really nice short excursion. We had some ice cream and walked though the center, it was a relaxing kind of day.

The structure of Inter IKEA Group was changed during 2016 and the business was divided. There are now two separate groups: one for the IKEA related business and one for the investment businesses. The two groups each have their own holding company, board and management. Inter IKEA Holding B.V. in the Netherlands is the holding company of the IKEA related businesses. Interogo Holding AG in Switzerland is the holding company of the investment businesses.
The change was made to enhance business focus and efficiency. This will also increase simplicity and transparency towards our stakeholders.
The governance structure of Interogo Holding AG has been formed to stimulate growth and development opportunities.
A Board of Directors oversees Interogo Holding AG. The Board consists of six Directors.
The Board of Directors assigns an Audit Committee to oversee financial reporting and disclosure, and to oversee regulatory compliance and corporate governance. The Audit Committee reports to the Board of Directors of Interogo Holding AG.
The work within the Board is guided by a documented working process.
The business model is decentralised and the business areas each have a far-reaching responsibility for their own operations. The governance and supervision of the business areas are based on structures including Boards of Directors, Supervisory Boards and Investments Committees.
Interogo Holding AG is owned by Interogo Foundation in Liechtenstein.

Saloon Crashed & Burned this weekend.
While I was away resting my old bones in some hot springs, there was a major emergency with the saloon.
On Saturday morning China time, a faulty switch in the datacenter caused a minor fire that damaged our particular server.
Afterwards, when the situation was under control, the datacenter ran their thorough system and hardware check, at which time it was discovered that the hard drive on our particular machine was faulty and failing (bad sectors).
That hard drive was apparently the cause of the mini problems we've experienced every so often since we moved hosts a few months back and we had a giant crash awaiting us sooner or later.
emergency procedures to replace it and restore the content then took place starting sunday morning China time and barely finished today.
The bumpy ride should be over i hope but I'm still expecting a few stressful days on this. If the situation does not improve by end of April, I'm afraid I'll have to move this baby to another server yet again.
mucho gracias para your patience... now who's buying me i stiff drink?
Re: Saloon Crashed & Burned this weekend.
I deny any connection between this incident, any earthquake aftershocks, and my birthday celebrations on Saturday.
Yikes! Thanks for getting the Saloon back on track Noles, I was in withdrawl!
Oy vey! What a mess!
it seems we still have some unresolved issues from The Great Server Debacle. Two members I know of, and possibly more, were lost somehow in the process. The two members are azdave and mkate.
We're aware of the problem, 'Noles is looking into it, and I'm in touch with both of them via e-mail.
I am simply tingling with delight to report that azdave and mkate are both back with us. Their older posts will probably still show as "Guest" posts, but they've both re-registered and at their barstools as they should be.
Thanks for letting me back in the Saloon! Just in time for my first trip to China (next week). Glad to be back!
your avatar, i have just noticed is a sweaty mass of people intent on activities that guarantee the furtherence of the population. my peepers arent what they used to be i thought it was just an active brain.

With a management team composed entirely of former commercial, investment and development bankers, our professional knowledge and expertise covers strategy & finance, risk management, organisational design & restructuring, governance & compliance, and strategic marketing for retail, SME & corporate banking customers. With career experience at some of the world's leading banks, GBRW has a deep pool of intellectual capital to share including policies & procedures, models, methodologies, tools, and templates.
At GBRW we emphasise implementation, working shoulder-to-shoulder with counterparts to actually deliver change as well as planning for the future. While we bring best-practice and the benefits of tried and tested approaches, we understand each client and market pose unique business challenges which merit a unique solution. We value curiosity, determination, and fellowship and the approach to our assignments reflects this. We look forward to developing new partnerships in ever expanding markets, and encourage you to contact us if we can possibly benefit your institution.
Sometimes we work with banks to put in place the planning structure and processes to fully engage the Board and the Strategy Committee, executive management, research and planning personnel, general management and staff. We also work with clients to approach expansion in new products and markets, and to explore innovative solutions to problems. Our approach emphasises the different stakeholders understanding and playing their roles in harmony, to produce well-researched, realistic, ambitious and differentiated strategies that capture the imagination of staff throughout the bank.
One of the critical ingredients of effective strategic management, and one that is too-often ignored is how to translate a strategic plan into action. GBRW works with banks to convert strategic aims into quantified measures and targets and to put in place an effective methodology for the implementation of change. Approaches include application of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) strategic management methodology and a Change/ Project Management methodology for the execution of Key Strategic Initiatives.
Successful strategic management also means monitoring and rewarding progress towards strategic objectives to ensure we are making expected progress in the right direction. GBRW helps by building and improving strategic Management Information Systems (MIS) and reporting tools (e.g. strategic dashboards) to assist in the tracking of progress. In addition, we help banks put in place performance and reward systems which are aligned to strategic objectives and support the implementation of the strategic plan.
As former bankers, risk is at the heart of our expertise. We know how to measure it, we know how to manage it. And, most importantly, we know how to price it.
Download GBRW's capability statement illustrating our competence and qualifications in all aspects of risk management in commercial banking, including credit, market and operational risk, as well as supplementary cross-cutting risks such as strategic risk and liquidity risk.
Across the spectrum of retail, SME, and corporate and institutional banking, we have the credit know-how to assist in almost any challenge. This could include credit strategy and segmentation, portfolio management and rating tools, credit risk models and scorecards, credit risk analysis and assessment techniques, product development and deal structuring, loans processing and administration, and NPL management.
As balance sheets become an increasingly complex mix of products, currencies and markets, the market risk capacity must respond in kind. Whether it's the bank book, the customer book, or the proprietary trading book, we can help with strategies, tools, models, and methodologies which will help your bank better understand and manage market risks.
Effective understanding and management of operational risk has assumed a new importance in recent years. Customers require products, and products require processes. Wherever we have processes we have operational risks. GBRW can help your bank understand those risks, and to manage and price them appropriately.
While the three main risk classifications are helpful in many respects, the urge to categorise risk must be balanced with an appreciation of holistic risk management, often called Enterprise-Wide Risk Management (EWRM). GBRW also incorporates approaches to identifying, measuring and managing inter-connected or more nuanced risk types such as strategic risk, liquidity risk, and reputational risk.
Ultimately, a successful bank depends on meeting the needs of target customers with a well-designed Customer Value Proposition. Whether you have a customer focus on retail, SME or corporate banking segments, or a product focus on any type of asset, liability, or transactional product or even non-financial service, we help develop and deliver effective marketing strategies.
Strategic segmentation is the foundation of any strategic marketing plan. Strategic segmentation in banks in more sophisticated than many other industries due to the addition of a substantial risk vector to the analysis. This means we need an approach which not only considers the upside of a potential customer segment (the Reward) but also the potential downside (the Risk). GBRW can support your bank through an effective Risk-Reward segmentation process to ensure that you can precisely identify, target and win the customer you want to win.
We work with customer-focused financial institutions to cascade Customer Relationship Management (CRM) methodologies throughout the business and operating model. Through effective segmentation strategy, our clients have a clear understanding of who their customers are, their needs, values and behaviours, and can develop a powerful and differentiated Customer Value Proposition to drive cross-sales, customer tenure and customer profitability.
Whether your bank has a product or customer focus, the ability to deliver well-researched and designed products consistently ahead of the competition is a key competitive advantage. We work with banks on product portfolio management, new product development across the full suite of retail, SME, corporate & institutional, and financial markets products and services, and pricing and distribution strategies.
When large and global corporate margins become thin, and appealing retail banking markets hyper-competitive, the financial sector begins to look for new customers. However, developing a successful SME banking or finance business can be a challenge, especially in Emerging Markets. The lack of reliable market and company information poses serious challenges to developing a sustainable and profitable SME lending portfolio. However the market is huge, not just for banks but a spectrum of established and innovative SME finance ventures.
GBRW Consulting has practical experience in balancing the marketing and management of credit risk, and of providing pragmatic solutions to many of the problems facing banks and other financiers in this market, to help them build strong and profitable SME franchises.
If your bank operates in a challenging business environment then there are few challenges we have not encountered before. If you are looking to find ways to address new markets, improve operating performance, better manage risk, and enhance skills and knowledge then GBRW has the capabilities you need. Please do not hesitate to contact us for an informal and confidential consultation when looking for a consulting partner for your bank.

Like your internet? Read up on Sopa. The government wants to censor it.
Major sites participating, is it the right move?
Over the weekend, the Stop Online Piracy Act was dealt a major blow as the legislation was delayed until “outstanding concerns” have been addressed. SOPA will not move forward in the House as the official vote was been cancelled and the bill has been yanked from the floor. Representative and SOPA opponent Darrell Issa cheered this as a win for the internet community – but he warned that SOPA’s Senate cousin PIPA is still a major concern.
He’s right, and SOPA is still a concern as well. While it has been delayed, SOPA is not dead (just ask SOPA author Lamar Smith). It is entirely possible that SOPA could resurrect once a “consensus is reached.” SOPA must be destroyed while vulnerable.
And presumably, that’s why many sites will still participate in a scheduled blackout on Wednesday, January 18th to protest the legislation.

Traveling with a business man brought some unexpected revelations. However, one particularly stands out. We arrive the night before the "big meeting". You know the one you have spent weeks preparing for, the one with one of your biggest clients (a $50M plus deal), and the morning of the meeting something goes wrong. He opens his garment bag only to find he had packed his entire suit--except the pants!
A discussion began from the horrified look on his face. We discussed whether he lie and say something got spilled on his suit pants over breakfast or does he admit our human state and confess he forgot to pack them? Another option was to rush from the breakfast table and race to the nearest local clothing store that would be open before the meeting.
This discussion made me realize how much our identity and worth are wrapped up in how we dress. With a positive attitude and confident body language, we can pull off not being appropriately dressed for the occasion. Many multi-million dollar business deals have been made by affluent men (and women) in jeans. When you are confident and comfortable in your own skin it shows whether you are in a $100 suit, a $1000 suit.....or a pair of jeans.
It can be tough to be a "fish out of water" and be inappropriately dressed for the occasion though. Our self esteem must be solidly in tact. We must know our worth comes from who we are (a valuable, worthy person), what we know (the astute business acumen will convince them to work with us), and the value we can offer (part of that value, perhaps, can be showing them you are human).
Although we don't usually choose to be inappropriately dressed, on the rare occasion we are, it's important to remember our self worth and our intellect are not wrapped up in what we are wearing.
Always be clothed with a positive attitude, a perspective full of hope, confidence, and the assurance that you are a worthy person. None of us can be less worthy than another unless we allow ourselves to be.
Walk into the room as a sharp dressed man (or woman) whether you are in a suit or jeans. Be clothed with confidence and a smile.
Our attitude determines our success more often than anything else.

Last week I started with a number of questions and I realise I only addressed the first of these. The one that is worth exploring further is: How many people do work that is demoralising?There are many ways o examining this question. One is to ask another question: How many people are ennobled, energised and turned on through the work they do? Does it give them a sense of achievement and does it allow them to grow as individuals? Couching the question in this way brings it down to the personal – the effect of the work on the individual. Here the nature of the work itself is not the issue, nor its wider effects. What is at issue is whether the job is a good fit for the person doing it.
There are people who feel stuck in work they consider beneath them and others who feel inadequate for the work expected of them. It is the way the person doing the work relates to it that is important. There are university graduates who are perfectly content with doing a menial task; some permanently, others temporarily. There are also graduates, unhappily ‘stuck’ in graduate careers. There are lawyers who would rather be musicians and engineers who would be happier cooking.
Changes in work done can be deliberate or serendipitous. I have made at least four major changes in bread-winning activity, mostly through choosing to take up opportunities that came my way. I’ve also, occasionally felt stuck. I have never been attracted to a life-long career – that word has always been associated for me with an image of careering out of control.
There are many answers to the question of what makes particular work fulfilling for an individual. Much has to do with the person’s personality, their upbringing and their expectations, all of which are intertwined. Discovering that a wrong choice has been made may not be easily remedied. It depends again on the person’s nature, added to financial and economic circumstances. The financial circumstances are also bound to issues of health, family, geography and will; the economic ones have more to do with the wider world.
For many people, their satisfaction with or dislike of the work they do is related to whether or not it is for the greater good. Are they producing something worthwhile? Do they make the world a better place? The answer for them may be ‘yes’, even though others may disagree. The majority of fashion designers would see themselves as producing something worthwhile and the majority of politicians would say that they are making the world a better place and I would beg to differ with most of them. However, my opinion is irrelevant to the question of their work satisfaction.
The paid work someone chooses to do may or may not be satisfying in itself but is being done in order to allow them the opportunity to pursue another, more satisfying activity. This is the case with many artists, writers and musicians, adventurers and surfers, and people bringing up young children. Ideally, they can design the paid work to be satisfying in itself. I have done just that to allow me to write and photograph.
I was able to finance my way through university with fun: working at Luna Park and as a projectionist at the student theatre. This had a lot to do with hearing opportunity knocking and being there to open the door. Many students find themselves in numbing part-time jobs, which must adversely affect their ability to study.
That there are so many people who feel demoralised by their work could well be the result of our ‘education’ system, which in many cases defines education as training young people for work, instead of training them for life. While important, work is only one aspect of life. If young people were taught more life skills, then changing jobs would be possible for many more people – it is usually the sense of being stuck that stops people moving on, not that they are actually stuck. It is like the story of the little frog that fell into a large bowl of cream; it could give up and drown but, instead, it kept on paddling until the cream turned to butter and it could hop out.
It is a curious manifestation of the way people see education, that has them tell me that I have wasted all that education because I no longer practise as a lawyer. None of it has been wasted on me, because it still informs what I do and how I do it. Yes, it trained me to work in a particular, very specialised field, but it prepared me for so much more and has not been a waste. Everything we do, including all learning, can play a part in preparing us for the rest of our lives, no matter what age we are. Keep asking the important questions and be prepared and willing to act on the answers.
I have always liked where I worked (my bosses may have differed). At Bond’s, I got the parcels mixed up. At the biscuit factory I couldn’t keep up with the conveyor belt.
I loved my home job of being a mum to eight. I loved my on-and-off job at Berlies. Sewing was great (4 years). Now I am a grandmother and great grandmother and love writing. Writing is good for the brain. Since late April, I have had six books published, P.O.D.

7.Once cooking is over add the butter or ghee, stir and leave the curry to settle for 10-15 mins before serving and garnish with a little cream on top.

In 2006, Marsha Mehran published her first culinary fiction called “Pomegranate Soup” – It is a charming, fairy tale like story of three Iranian sisters who settle in a remote village in Ireland; start their cozy restaurant and in no time conquer the heart of the initially-skeptical villagers through their unique Persian beauty, warm hospitality and most important of all the strain of mind-blowing and heavenly-smelling Persian foods, side dishes, soups and desserts.
For years here in Montreal, I used to miss the unique tart taste of pomegranate, as it kept living in the food compartment of my memories.
I remember quite vividly how the whole population of our crowded house back in Shiraz used to sit around big, round, copper trays in the yard under the delicate warmth of autumn sunbeams and lose track of the number of pomegranates we seeded and munched with delight. Mom kept urging us to eat more because it “cleansed our blood.” Indeed, pomegranate juice, sold in every street corner for a good portion of the year, was believed to be a miraculous remedy for a wide range of illnesses. When I found out that pomegranate was in fact a strong antioxidant, I did not have access to it anymore, save once a year at winter solstice when all Iranian stores imported California pomegranate as part of our celebration of “Yalda”. For the past couple of years however, major supermarkets in Montreal are increasingly selling this marvellous fruit and I am delighted to have them handy once again. You should try it if you have not already, just look for plump, cut-and-bruise-free ones that feel heavy for their size.

We’re coming up on the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, in case you’ve been locked in a closet for the past few weeks and have thus been spared the maudlin, self-indulgent navel-gazing of every commentator that comes down the pike.
For some, Katrina was an opportunity seized. The guiding narrative is that of a city in decline that took advantage of adversity and emerged stronger. It’s a characterization of Katrina that’s equal parts appalling and inaccurate. We are not in a better position as entire swaths of neighborhoods lay in ruin and our population is greatly reduced.
Yet the myth persists. Just last week the internet was abuzz over an opinion piece by Kristin McQueary that ran in the Chicago Tribune in which she yearned for a Katrina-like disaster to strike Chicago and give it a firm kick in the pants.
This revolting emission of verbal diarrhea struck a nerve with, well, virtually everyone in New Orleans. The levee breaks after Katrina flooded 80 percent of the city and directly caused more than 1,800 deaths. Viewing Katrina as a positive event, even an enviable one, is nothing less than disgusting.
McQueary later apologized and clarified that she was merely wishing for a catalyst for dramatic political change in Chicago, particularly relative to the city’s finances. Even then, however, her narrative was off. New Orleans didn’t suddenly change after Katrina. Reforms have been a mixed bag at best, and scandals still trickle out. The struggle for clean, efficient government continues much as it did before the storm.
Nevertheless, for all the kvetching about McQueary’s absurd piece, our own leaders often seem to be saying the same thing.
Admittedly, there’s nothing shocking or particularly offensive about a politician tooting his own horn. However, the degree of triumphalism is a bit unsettling. One needs only drive through New Orleans East (you don’t even have to leave the freeway) to see that there are parts of the city that are definitely still in the process of recovery and rebuilding.
Yes, progress has been made on some fronts, and there’s no gainsaying the idea that the storm itself made certain reforms possible. However, even those reforms are hotly contested, and even the most ardent opponent would have to concede that they involve trade-offs. For example, many in the city are justifiably pleased that the old, Dickensian public-housing complexes are being replaced. Nevertheless, at the same time, there’s less public housing overall.
Reiss’ words, opportunistic as they were, resonated with a certain class of locals. In hushed quarters, you can still hear them speak of Katrina as some sort of cleansing rain.
Thus, it’s an easy thing to ask the diaspora of New Orleanians to return, as Landrieu has prominently done. It’s easy to proclaim that the city is recovered. It’s harder to acknowledge that sections of the city are still in horrid condition ten years later, and that Katrina was, in fact, seen by many locals as an opportunity to change the city in ways that make others feel less welcome.
Perhaps what unnerved us so much about McQueary’s column wasn’t that the sentiment was reprehensible, or that it was expressed by an outsider. Perhaps the real problem was that we’ve heard it all before, albeit not quite so explicitly.
Alas, it’s easier to rally the villagers with pitchforks and torches than it is to engage in genuine introspection. As we approach Katrina’s tenth anniversary, we could definitely use a great deal more of the latter.
I have to start an annual tradition of leaving New Orleans between August 24-Labor Day, so I can miss all this BS about Katrina.
Maybe, you should just leave, period.
One might say, the way New Orleans was heading before Katrina, was a slow death. Many people would be dying anyhow from sheer lack of attention – it wouldn’t be so public and so massive at one time – but many innocent people were dying from lack of care. It is a shame that it took a Federal Flood and a massive storm to wake us up, but human nature as it is, sometimes things have to get a lot worse before they get better.
Reiss’ words were quoted in the Wall Street Journal. They were really despicable -esp when he included “demographically” in there. It was obvious what he was talking about and what that crowd hoped to accomplish. The irony, of course, is that the Reiss crowd were Nagin’s biggest supporters in his first election. That statement directly led to Nagin’s u turn, his “chocolate city” nonsense and the city was effectively left with 2 nutball factions for a few years.
A lot of folks lost a lot, and I would never call Katrina a “blessing,” but in response to the subject of this article, I’d say you’re off on this one. New Orleans is ‘better’ after the disasters of Hurricane Katrina.
Overall, I just don’t think the city can be considered a “winner” after Katrina. There are some good points, and from the perspective of the 20% of the city that didn’t flood, it may certainly seem better, but overall the city suffered greatly. We’re still way down in population and two very large areas — New Orleans East and the Lower Ninth — have fared poorly. Housing costs are spiraling out of control, partly due to a bubble in dry neighborhoods, and partly due to ever-increasing taxes and insurance.
A great deal of the economic renaissance in New Orleans has been more rhetoric than reality. The biotech sector seems to be a boondoggle. The film industry may founder due to cuts to the tax credit program. The tech sector has grown but not enough to offset losses in other sectors. Cost-of-living is jumping ever skyward but household incomes are not. I’m not saying that there aren’t positive developments, but I don’t think we’re better off than we were in 2005.
There are obvious positive movements and similar areas without much recovery.
Clearly, in some categories, the city is much better off. Flood protection is drastically improved. The economy is much better and includes almost entirely new industries like the film industry. Charter schools (and perhaps vouchers) have increased the competitiveness, and thus the quality, of the public schools. The overall state of the city’s housing is probably improved due to all the renovations and rebuilding (combined with the demolition of housing projects). Yankees flock from all corners of the North to become homeowners and entrepreneurs here. An argument for demographic improvement could certainly be postulated with the aid of a few alcoholic beverages. Even the Saints are better. I haven’t read her article, but the woman in Chicago probably had good intentions and correctly viewed New Orleans as a phoenix rising from the ashes when judged by these major categories of improvement.
However, most categories with significant municipal government control are worse off, or the same. Taxes (including theft from traffic cameras) and utility bills are significantly higher with little to show for it. The streets are perhaps worse than ever, the NOPD is drastically understaffed, the politicians are giving away our tax money in social experiments, etc.
Worst of all, the history of the city itself is now under siege by radical politicians. We can’t allow these ignorant charlatans to tear down our great Southern monuments and statues because they suddenly decided to be offended 150 years later. The city cannot be “better” if our cultural treasures are demolished by ISPS (the Islamic State of Perdido Street).
Read Chris Rose and others.
I generally disagree with everything you write and this case is no different. I’ve lived here all my life and can unequivocally say that this city is better than it was before the storm. Not perfect, but indeed ‘better’. I also think McQueary’s piece was a poor attempt at analogy, but I got what she was trying to say and was in no way offended by it. Calling it “verbal diarrhea” is one reason you aren’t writing for any Tribune.
Seriously? Wishing for a Katrina is something you’re “in no way offended by?” If that’s your sincerely held belief, then I am very glad that you “generally disagree with everything [I] write.” I think your view of things is likely quite insular and myopic.
Prior to 2005 eastern New Orleans and other swaths of the city were heavily in decay. That is nothing new to the city and to claim it is due to Katrina or rebuilding is hilarious. This city has always had and will always have blighted and decaying portions of the city with our without storms and rebuilding.
I do agree that you can’t say the city is better of because of Katrina though as you can’t lose that many lives and have that much destruction, relocation, emotional toll etc… yet be better off. However, there has been some good as mentioned by other posters that came after the storm.
I agree with you overall, but I question your assertion that New Orleans always had and always will have blight. Did it have blight in 1722 when it became the capital of French Louisiana, a few years after its founding? Did it have blight in 1795, when the United States gained the right of deposit in New Orleans from Spain, after having recently undergone massive rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1788 and of 1794? Were our hardworking colonial ancestors so irresponsible, incapable, and lazy as the owners of blighted homes today? Is it already set in stone that we have a future of welfare recipients with trash all over their yards who let their homes rot?
Let’s hold on a minute here — New Orleans East was not “heavily in decay” prior to 2005. It had gone through ups and downs but it’s not even comparable to how it is today. Similarly, while you had significant blight in the Lower Ninth, you still had far more people around and intact housing than you do now. It’s not a valid comparison to make.

LITTLE KID + BIG HEART = EPIC PARTY | Beverly's Net: family. food. fashion. LITTLE KID + BIG HEART = EPIC PARTY – Beverly's Net: family. food. fashion.
It’s this lil boy’s graduation year… So, next year, I won’t have any more Kindergarten kids!
I was looking back at some old photos of him, in all his fatty-cheeked glory, and I just feel so wistful. Carter has always been my baby boy, the boy with the golden heart. He has more empathy and EQ than most adults have, and it makes me feel a tad sad that, one day, he will learn just how mean and awful the world and people can be. One day, he will grow up big time, and his eyes will be opened to the real world, and he will have to harden his heart accordingly.
But until then……. I’m now faced with an epic birthday party.
He turns 6 in two weeks, and has been eagerly awaiting his birthday party since the start of this year.
His venue of choice is expensive. I know that in Singapore, it’s really common to blow huge bucks on kids’ parties.. but for us, we’ve been relatively constrained, partly because the boys enjoy poolside parties (where the venue is free).
But this year, it’s the most expensive – ever.
Because of the high $ per headcount, I told Carter he could select TEN classmates only, explaining to him why. He was so dismayed, but because he’s an understanding kid (good EQ, remember?), he didn’t insist and managed to scrape together the list.
He was brimming with excitement when walking to school in the morning, holding his invitations and just beaming.
Then he got really worried as we neared school, and started getting sadder and sadder, and ended up getting a bit teary.
He looked so troubled and dejected that I caved.
So now I have an epic 6 year old’s birthday party to plan and pay for. I’ve justified it by saying that it’s his last year of preschool, and he truly does love all his friends there. I know he’ll be beaming with happiness, seeing all his friends celebrating with him!
THE BOYS SPILLED THE BEANS!
Awwwww! I think this was a Good thing to cave over though. What a sweet boy!
I just couldn’t say no when I saw his lil face looking up at me. Ahhhh!

I'm sure you'll be shocked to learn this was a production of professional hatemonger Fred Phelps.
Shocked by tea party like protest outside the Obama girls' school this morning. A dozen activists with homophobic/anti-Obama signs and etc.
Was driving by on Wisconsin Avenue and couldn't understand why traffic was so backed up... until I saw the scene. The right has no shame.
Hopefully, some of the more rational conservatives/Republicans will condemn this stuff today. It was beyond the pale.
More likely that Limbaugh and Beck and the rest of the wingnut cretins will be celebrating these neanderthal's abuse of the First Amendment. And you just know that the idiot protesters likely were howling about the "liberal media attacks" on the Palin kids in the past. Disgusting.
Neo, with all the internet trojans going around right now, I can't leave a link to a clipmark site in the comments. If you have an original source, feel free to repost.

Editors note: below and reproduced in full with the author’s permission is an open letter written by Noman Benotman, a former commander in the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and a former associate of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. In al Qaeda strategy meetings in Kandahar in 2000, Benotman warned the al-Qaeda leadership of ‘total failure’ to realise their aims and called on bin Laden and al-Zawahiri to abandon violence. Soon after the 9/11 attacks, he distanced himself from al-Qaeda and later resigned from his own jihadist organisation. He has more recently been instrumental in negotiations with Libya’s government to free former LIFG leaders, and in persuading these leaders to formally renounce terrorism. He also recently joined the London-based Quilliam Foundation as a Senior Analyst.
I greet you with the peace of Islam and ask you to reflect on the following. Do so for the sake of Allah, his Prophet, and the safety of all humans worldwide.
I write to you as a former comrade-in-arms. We fought together. We were ready to die together. Under the banner of Islam, we came to the aid of fellow Muslims in Afghanistan. To this day, I take pride in having fought against the Soviets and communists. We were in the right and no enemy could have stood in our way.
After our victory, we became a curse for the very people we sought to help. Afghans, including Mullah Omar and his supporters, asked us to protect their country and its people. Instead, you wanted to use their country as a launch-pad for war against America, Israel, the West and the Arab regimes. What benefit has this brought the Afghan people?
Separately, when Mullah Omar asked you on several occasions to stop provoking and inviting American attacks on his country, you ignored him. How can you claim to fight for an "Islamic State" and then so flagrantly disobey the ruler you helped put in place? Do you not remember Sheikh Abu Hafs al-Mauritani’s religious opinion that by defying Mullah Omar, al-Qaeda was making a mockery of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and that building Afghanistan was the call of the hour and the duty of those Muslims who lived there – not "jihad" abroad?
I also remind you (and disclose here for the first time publicly) that in this meeting Abu Muhammad al-Zayyat, the head of your own organisation’s security committee (later appointed head of the military committee in 2000), vehemently objected to your "final" planned operation, the 11th September suicide bombings. Abu Muhammad al-Zayyat believed these missions were illegitimate without Mullah Omar’s permission. The question asked by many, even among the closed group, was: by what right did al-Qaeda by-pass and ignore Mullah Omar? And, of course, even if Mullah Omar had given his permission this would not change the fact that such attacks are completely unjustifiable.
Osama, you were kind enough to invite me to breakfast at your simple mud house in Kandahar in summer of 2000. I still remember your children playing barefoot near us. In our meetings, I represented the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and in the presence of Dr. Zawahiri as well as other key figures, I argued for an immediate cessation of violence and an end to al-Qaeda’s attacks outside Afghanistan. You asked me to provide you with access to LIFG’s global logistic network to bolster your "Jihad against the Jews and the Crusaders", as you termed your ongoing war. I refused point-blank, without even seeing the need to consult my group on this decision. You saw many truths in my argument: that al-Qaeda and its violent acts had been an abject failure. However, you said that one more operation was under way, and that you could not stop it.
On the morning of 11th September 2001, the world discovered the unstoppable chain of events both you and al-Qaeda had put in place. Why was this operation carried out? What has the 11th September brought to the world except mass killings, occupations, destruction, hatred of Muslims, humiliation of Islam, and a tighter grip on the lives of ordinary Muslims by the authoritarian regimes that control Arab and Muslim states? I warned you then, in summer 2000, of how your actions would bring US forces into the Middle East and into Afghanistan, leading to mass unrest and loss of life. You believed I was wrong. Time has proved me right. Your actions have harmed millions of innocent Muslims and non-Muslims alike. How is this Islam or jihad? For how much longer will al-Qaeda continue to bring shame on Islam, disrupt ordinary Muslims’ lives, and be the cause of global unrest?
Muslims across the world have rejected your calls for wrongful jihad and the establishment of your so-called "Islamic state" when they witnessed the form this has taken in Iraq. Even the Palestinians consider your "help" to have had negative repercussions on their cause. Indeed Israel’s control over Gaza has never been stronger and yet some of your supporters have even declared Hamas to be an apostate organisation! What then of the rest of the Palestinian population and other Muslims? Most Muslim communities wish to embrace and engage in democracy; they seek justice, peace, freedom, human rights and peaceful coexistence with the rest of the world. Instead, where there was harmony, you brought discord.
In New York, your un-Islamic actions have caused hurt, loss, pain and anguish to thousands of innocent people and their families. One consequence is that those Muslims seeking to build a House of God in New York are today being compared to Nazis. And now we hear that on the anniversary of your attack an American preacher is even planning to burn the Quran in revenge! Indeed Muslims living in democratic and free societies around the world are now experiencing the consequences of your irresponsible acts. In Switzerland and France, countries in which Muslims were able to freely and openly practise their religion, they have been forced to abandon symbols of their faith. In China, our brothers and sisters face daily oppression by the Communist government on account of al-Qaeda’s actions elsewhere. In Iraq, a proud and noble nation, an entirepopulation lives in fear of takfir (excommunication) and daily suicide bombings. In Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and other countries, people live in fear of men who believe they are allowed to commit murder in the name of Islam and take lives in exchange for their own shahada (martyrdom). Is this really the path to paradise? On this issue, I strongly advise you to seek the guidance of authentic scholars for "a Muslim can still be saved as long as he does not spill inviolable blood" (Sahih Bukhari).
I know you to be a humble man, one who has given up a luxurious lifestyle to dedicate yourself to the cause you believe in. However, your jihad should now ensure al-Qaeda reverts back to the path of ahl al sunnawal jama‘a (the people who follow the example of the Prophet and the majority) and realigns its acts and policies with authentic Islamic rulings.
of innocent blood that was forbidden by God.
ry activity affect Islam and Muslims around the world? Will it hurt their interests or will it allow them to make greater progress towards achieving peace and the freedom to practice and preach their religion? What would Islam lose if al-Qaeda were to end its violence?
– To explore public opinion in Muslim communities around the world and their position vis- à-vis al-Qaeda, in terms of support or rejection on both the ideological and operational levels.
– To seek the guidance of those scholars such as Sheikh Salman al- Auda who have rejected your approach and concept of jihad, as well as others who are ‘accepted as speaking with the voice of the Ummah’ (Talaqqathum al-umma bil qabul).
I believe that adopting this strategy will also be the first step towards ending the occupation of Afghanistan and establishing peace and securityin the region.
In urging you to halt your violence and re-consider your aims and strategy, I believe I am merely expressing the views of the vast majorityof Muslims who wish to see their religion regain the respect it has lost and who long to carry the name of "Muslim" with pride.

For those of you who are new to 4 Seests in Paradise -- WELCOME!
Where did 2014 go?? It was very busy, from my being hospitalized in January, losing 30 pounds on the "G.E.R.D. Diet", the Seest Family Reunion in Minnesota in June, being hired as the 5th Grade teacher at our local Christian School where the children are attending (instead of homeschool for Caleb's senior year *_*). What a busy, blessed year!!
WOW...life got very, very busy in June of 2014 when we prayerfully accepted a teaching position at a local Christian school! Yes, I'm now a 5th Grade School Teacher!!!! I am still updating and editing this webpage, my linkware graphics, and our church homepage *_* But do please let me know when you find an error or broken link!
Just in case you don't know, I edit our homepage DAILY. Most of the pages have a "Last Updated" date at the top *_* I hope this helps!
4 Seests in Paradise is not a blog / online journal, although every page has HEART and testimony woven throughout. I am eagerly anticipating getting back to regular updates and devotional postings here. I look forward to the opportunity to be a blessing to you!
Praise the LORD, we have been online since 1997!
Praise the LORD! God has blessed me with the opportunity to become a self-published author!
for those wanting updates for my books!
I have banners for advertising the books I've written &/or had published!
So many times in my life, I have said that. I have believed that. Yet I saw the paychecks coming in. I was seeing Him provide through my Dad, through my own labor, through my husband / the Navy. Now, I see God providing through so many different vessels, and I am humbled to tears... albeit, tears of deep joy. Our God, Whom we serve with a willing heart, is providing for us; and I cannot thank Him enough.
Hugs to you, to all my brothers and sisters in Christ who have prayed so faithfully. Praying friends and family are more precious than gold in a time of need.
PRAISE THE LORD! I just got permission from Kim Moore--a songwriter--to include the lyrics to her song in the ninth book in The Bennett Vignettes, Run the Race.
My life I give to You, O Lord.
Your will is always right!
I know God makes no mistakes.
Along the way that�s leading me to Home.
And know that God makes no mistakes.
As a runner in this race.
As I seek to please Him day by day.
Our God makes no mistakes.
It has been such a blessing to get back in touch with friends from PCC and The WILDS that I hadn't heard from in many, many years!!
4 Seests in Paradise's Devotionals just passed the 100,000 mark!
That is such a blessing!
to encourage other believers to walk in obedience...in Christlikeness.
and the first 4 after that.
Okay, did anyone notice all of the "Sewing Bees"?

Braystones Beach Situated on the west coast of England adjacent to the magnificent Lake District National Park. The beach is home a community of less than 60 homes some of which are housed by full time residents who brave the rigours of the Irish Sea to enjoy a living that is probably unique in 21st century England. Access is by a road put in each year by the residents, parts of which will probably only survive for three months during the Summer months. Telephone Electricity and water are optional and gas is in a bottle. Springs flowing out of the cliff behind the beach were until recent times the only water supply. Though now mains water is available it has not been taken up by all the residents. Electricity is provided by generator , solar panels and wind turbines. a few have managed to get mains electric but this is by no means the majority. It has been suggested by some that a sign saying the real world starts here should be placed at the main entrance to the beach but there will always be debate as to which side of the sign the real world starts.

I’d love to use that Outsourcing Workbook! I can’t seem to find where to enter my subscriber info.
Enter your email address and you will have access to the workbook.
If you have any trouble, please email me at outside the box mom at gmail .com.
I’m a new mom, and learning how to delegate with my husband effectively was the smartest thing I think I’ve done so far. We trade off who’s in charge of getting her to sleep at night and who feeds her in the morning. Whoever isn’t tending to her is preparing the bottles and packing the baby food for the day. I used to try to do much more by myself, and it just doesn’t make sense when we’re both totally capable. Less resentment, too, and it builds up his confidence as a dad!

Characterization and environmental management of stormwater runoff from road-salt storage facilities.
The objectives of this study were to assess the quantity and quality of salt-contaminated water generated from stormwater runoff at VDOT's salt storage facilities and to evaluate management/treatment alternatives to reduce costs and better protect the environment. Data regarding detention pond surface area and volume, runoff area, and several key water quality constituents were collected from five randomly selected storage facilities in each of VDOT's nine districts, for a total of 45 sampling sites. Chloride concentrations were significantly greater than state and federal regulatory guidelines for drinking water and surface water quality criteria, with values routinely exceeding 2000 mg/L. Concentrations of total suspended solids and oil and grease were less than expected, with averages of 20 and 2 mg/L, respectively. The quantity of stormwater collected was higher than anticipated, with approximately 60 MG of contaminated runoff water being generated in an average rainfall year. Even if only the runoff generated during the 5-month winter maintenance season is considered, the volume of salt-contaminated water is in excess of 30 MG. Two alternatives to VDOT's disposal practices were examined: (1) management strategies to reduce the volume of salt-contaminated stormwater runoff generated at each facility, and (2) treatment of the runoff to remove the salt and subsequent release of the runoff back to the environment. Currently, VDOT disposes of the salt water by one of three methods: (1) connecting directly to a publicly owned treatment works system, (2) pumping and transporting the salt water to such a system by tank truck, or (3) applying the salt water to gravel roads to suppress dust temporarily. The average per gallon cost of VDOT's current method of pumping and transporting to a publicly owned treatment works system is approximately $0.13. If VDOT used a mobile ultrafiltration/reverse osmosis system, this cost would be cut by more than half. The $0.047 per gallon cost is also 58 percent of the $0.08 per gallon cost VDOT pays to use the wastewater for dust control. For a statewide annual treatment volume of 58.6 MG, this would result in an annual cost savings of $1.9 million to $4.9 million. It appears that the reverse osmosis treatment technology is worthy of additional exploration to ensure that operation problems and costs do not preclude its use by VDOT.

In the Bible, Joseph helps the Pharaoh prepare for seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine.
But judging by George Osborne's Autumn Statement, our slump is of more than Biblical proportions.
Osborne's downgraded growth forecasts and upgraded debt forecasts point to an age of austerity lasting a decade taking 2008 as the beginning of the downturn.
Of course, we had 15 years of steady growth before the great crash. So if you are inclined to take the Bible literally, you might be bracing yourself for a period of belt-tightening stretching all the way to 2023.
Certainly, there is no great reason to put faith in the Chancellor's forecasts.
All the previous ones (for growth, the deficit and debt) have proved far too optimistic, lending weight to the argument that we are still a long way from the Promised Land.
The latest crop, which are none too rosy in themselves, may prove no more reliable than the last lot.
In fact, reading between the lines, things are likely to get tougher still.
Some experts were saying tonight that the Chancellor has sought to defer at least some of the economic and political pain - to 2016 and 2017, years that fall after the election planned for 2015.
It is hard to imagine any party going into the election campaign offering tax cuts or spending giveaways, which is grim for the Tories, but may be grimmer still for Labour, given that its standard pitch to the voters is the promise of yet more public spending on its favourite client groups.
Against this stony background, Osborne sought to dole out the medicine 'fairly', which meant in practice another raid on middle England, home of the Tory-voting classes.
Some 400,000 people will be dragged into paying the 40p higher rate of income tax in a move that will raise an extra £1 billion for the Treasury.
Before too long 40 per cent will be the standard rate of tax, in London and the South East at least. Wealthier pensioners will lose £1 billion worth of tax relief in another blow to the dwindling savings culture.
At the other end of the scale, benefit claimants will feel the pinch for the first time with increases in their payments being pegged to 1 per cent for the next three years, rather than the 5.2 per cent they got last year.
Meanwhile, low earners, who mostly do not vote Tory, will be helped by a significant increase in the personal allowance, meaning that those earning less then £9,440 will pay no income tax at all.
One populist measure was scrapping the planned 3p increase in fuel duty - a boost provided you can still afford to run a car.
Another bright note was the cut in corporation tax to 21 per cent. But after weeks of headlines about multinationals finding ways of not paying any corporation tax at all, one wonders how much difference that will make?
The truth is that Osborne's fiscally neutral statement amounted to little more than tinkering.
It is hard to see it galvanising growth or hastening the end of the age of austerity.
The Chancellor's boldest move was his claim that the economy was 'slowly healing'. That might yet prove a hostage to fortune given the fragility of his previous efforts to foretell the future.
If it does prove a mirage, no doubt Ed Balls will be the first to tell us.
But for all his huffing and puffing at the despatch box, Balls cannot escape responsibility for provoking our economic famine in the first place.
His misjudgements in the years of plenty, along with the likes of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband, got us into this mess in the first place.
Had Labour saved for seven lean years (more like 10 now), we would be better placed to climb out of trouble. We can only hope the country remembers that when it comes to election day.
In biblical times, the rulers could not sell off the future harvest , condemning thier subjects to starvation as as these selfish cowards have, while ensuring their power and riches with inflation proof index linked pensions.
Is it not a great wonder that while in opposition a party is the fount of wisdom and omniscience .
Yet albeit as with this one while many years in opposition they have neither prepared themselves nor indeed proved themselves to be fit for goverment, But neither have they used the time to seek out the way forward and find answers to days problems.
So that once they get into 'power' they neither have the wisdom or judgment to act accordingly.
Enoch Powel once said "The supreme function of every statesman is to forsee preventable evil............" "...........But the pressing temptation on all govermements is to sell the future fro present popularity and power........"
What is a great offence to me is .That a labour party that condoned (by its silence)nor rebuked the person who left that note in the treasury "there is nothing left " and who has delivered this country close to bankrupcy .Now presumes to be that fount of wisdom they clearly lacked while in office!
It seems that MPs and goverments have forgotten what that chamber is for.
Its physicly designed as a debating chamber.
Where you have a proposal by the goverment backed up by thier arguments for it.
and the opposing benches if neded to raise up arguments that will or can or must undermine the proposal. The rise and fall of the arguments on thier merits is then voted on.
But of course MP/s ruled by the wip cannot vote on principle but by party.
You do not need then 'arguments for and against but only shout at each other across the floor. For the left are always right; right? and therefore must oppose all that the right who are clearly always wrong proposes. Right?
and it is wondered why we are ins uch a mess.
When we have MPs and goverments witrh great hindsight but very few if any with forsight.
The only ambition of any party is to defeat the others so as to get the 'POWER!!!!!!!!!
Yet clearly as things stand no party at present has eithewr the authority to use it nor indeed knows how ,where and when.
The fault lies with an electorate .Who still blindly votes for a party. But does not elect people who they know with soem degree of certianty truly represents them.
Thus we have a huge number of cowboys ruled and governed by self interest and willing to be wipped into party line.
if it continues in this way the wiup that is felt on Mps backs may well be felt on ours.

Hey, hi, hello, it’s been awhile! I wish I had some crazy story that would be completely excusable for why I didn’t post, as if anyone cares, but I’ll be honest with you here. My wisdom teeth are growing in and I didn’t move all weekend because it’s painful. I finally understand why babies cry all the time because teething is NOT PLEASANT. I’m fully surprised my wisdom teeth are growing in because my dentist said this would never happen, but here we are.
Since my wisdom teeth are growing in, I thought I’d take this time to drop some knowledge for all you out there. It’s also an excuse for me to talk about something that has been frustrating me all week, but this is my blog and I can do whatever I damn please with it.
This past Monday I was working on the second course of the FIT program I signed up for. The first course in the program was just background about the rise of the cosmetics industry, so it’s really nothing worth blogging around. However, each course features a section that involves professionals in the industry giving advice about how to succeed, what they wish they knew before, etc. One of the comments that was made by one of these individuals struck a chord with me, and I have not been able to go back to this course since.
The comment made was something along the lines of, “If you come from a business background and demonstrate a passion for this industry, there’s a job for you.” Now, we all well know that I come from a business background. In fact I come from an entrepreneurship background, which ticks off the “innovation” that every company is looking for these days. I also definitely have a passion for this industry. I catered my last semester of college to being centered around practices in the cosmetics industry, and have started this blog to talk about the cosmetics industry.
So, you should infer that, based on the comment of this industry leader, that I should be working in cosmetics. Well, I applied to 52 jobs before graduation, and at least 20 more since moving to New York, and not once have I gotten an interview. Not even after adding this FIT course to my resume. No, I’m not saying that a job should be handed to be on a golden platter because one woman in the industry said things that match with my background, but I would think that these characteristics would at least spark some sort of interest.
That, kids, is the moral of this tangent. You may be that perfect candidate or option for something, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to get it 100% of the time. It doesn’t even mean that you’re going to be considered for it. Again, I’m not saying I’m the perfect candidate for every cosmetics job I’ve applied to but I think I’m pretty damn near close. I need to start doing these FIT courses again because they’re really informative and can help, but I’m sure you can all see that it’s frustrating when someone describes the “ideal candidate” for an industry you want to break into, and it matches everything about you and yet you’re struggling.
I’ve been working on staying positive this year, so I’m going to try that. I love the internship I’m with and would love if that could result in a full-time position. Maybe in a year or two once I’m more financially secure I can just start my company, go all in, learn from my idols and just do it instead of sitting around waiting for a company to choose me like a middle schooler waiting to be picked in gym class. But who knows, there’s still a lot more living and a lot more uncertainty left to deal with.

Paternity establishes the biological relationship between a father and a child. Paternity also carries legal significance because it triggers an obligation for the father to provide financial support to the mother in raising the child.
When a child is born out of wedlock, many fathers accept and paternity by signing an acknowledgement form. However, in some instances, this does not happen and paternity is contested. If this occurs, you should speak to an experienced Houston paternity lawyer to discuss your legal options and the viability of going through an Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP) process or through a court order.
To obtain benefits like health insurance.
Some parents believe that entering into a private agreement about paternity issues is enough. Unfortunately, this is not accurate. You need to obtain clear, binding legal orders to ensure compliance down the road. For example, if you enter into a private agreement and, five years later, the other parent refuses to allow visitation rights or they are claiming the other has never supported the child financially, informal private agreements generally do not hold water in court. This is why it makes sense to proceed to a paternity suit if the father is refusing to acknowledge paternity.
DNA analysis is the most conclusive paternity test available since it has an accuracy rate of over 99 percent. When you retain the services of an experienced family law lawyer, they can coordinate a legally conclusive DNA Identification test. This means that there will be valid chain-of-custody maintained to ensure that the DNA evidence is admissible.
If a court finds that the man that is the subject of the suit is indeed the father of your child, a court may order retroactive child support be paid. Whether or not the judge orders retroactive child support depends largely on when the man became aware that they were the father of the child.
If, on the other hand, the child was conceived during a one-night dalliance and the man never knew that he was the father, the court will likely take that into consideration in determining whether there should be retroactive child support.
Texas law focuses on the best interests of the child, but there is no doubt that most courts want children to have the financial, physical and emotional support of both a mother and father. Once paternity is established, the father can request custody and/or visitation rights. In determining whether to grant these rights, Texas courts consider the past actions of the father including their contact with the child, along with their criminal record and any history of abuse.
The Houston lawyers at Lindamood & Robinson, P.C. represent men and women seeking to establish a legal parent-child relationship through the paternity process. We are here to offer sound legal advice and counsel throughout the process. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation.

In the modern era of today, many individuals who are making discoveries by daily usage of Kratom have a similar question in their mind and that is how they can use Kratom powder. Though, the truth is there is no such right or wrong way to use Kratom as most individuals are consuming in different kinds of ways as per their needs. In case you are going to use Kratom for the first time, you surely be wondering how you can use it in order to get your desired results in an effective manner. Well, here in this post I have answered the question which mostly arises in the mind of individuals how to use Kratom powder and also shared some ways to use it in an effective manner.
The first thing which most people don’t know is what is kratom? Well, it basically is a tree which is mostly grown and harvested in South East Asia. Furthermore, it also is being grown in various regions of Africa. The tree of Kratom usually nourishes in hot and humid weather conditions, which is the reason why farmers of Ketapang and JongKong regions which are the strongest regions of Indonesia harvest Kratom over there.
It usually is harvested by picking the leaves from the trees. Later on, leafs are dried by the farmers and usually, it gets that specific vein color. This is the place preference becomes an integral factor. At some point or another, regardless of whether you’re new to Kratom or an accomplished client, you will incline toward a most loved strain shading.
How about we get directly down to it. Kratom can taste awful to another client, and there are a lot of ways you can figure out how to utilize your Kratom, so how about we examine. Here are some ways in how you can use it in an effective manner.
Wash and toss are one of the more mainstream approaches to utilize Kratom. This is the place you take your ideal portion, hurl it in the back of your throat, and wash it down with your most loved beverage. Try not to be tricked. This isn’t for the blackout of heart. In case you’re not by any means certain you can deal with dry powder in your mouth and compelling a bump down your throat you might need to attempt an alternate strategy. The wash and toss strategy is an extraordinary method to get your portion rapidly and productively on the off chance that you can perform it effectively.
Finding someone online who sales Kratom has become a lot easier within the past 5-10 years seeing as though this product has emerged drastically. More and more people appear online trying to sale their product everyday. These products can be well seen through shiny packaging front in center in smoke shops.
Although you have plenty of options in which you buy Kratom from, but it’s best to be smart about it. The only problem when it comes down to buying Kratom is trying to find the best and cheapest price that still gives a strong and consistent product.
There are various amounts of websites that have Kratom for sale. The most known websites are those of Kratom hq specific websites and ethnobotanical websites. These two are the most logical websites all around. The quantities that are offered by a majority of vendors online have them between 15 grams up to 1 kilo.
Although prices have varied drastically over the years, it is due to the amount of supplies within the market because of its sharp influx. Purchasing Kratom online is much better than buying it in the shop because it is believed to have a much better quality and is much cheaper.
Legal high is another website that has All Kratom for sale and makes it known that their product is the best all over the world. This may be true but supporting them could possibly band Kratom altogether in the United States.
Kratom also is known as Mitragyna speciosa is a tree commonly found in tropical areas. It originates from Southeast Asia. The kratom is currently a legal substance sold in various forms; most common is the powder form. Most people consume kratom as a capsule. Others use its powdered leaves to make tea while others prefer to chew the leaves.
It mostly grows in southeast Asia.it is more persistent than the other strains of kratom. The substance responsible for the red color in the veins ensures that external factors do not affect it.

From companies with big names like Fitbit and Apple to those small traditional manufacturers of watches such as Fossil and Tag Heuer, so many companies who create smartwatches delivering things like applications, notifications and also adding beauty to the wrist have come up with time. The designs and features of different smartwatches vary but one common thing is that they can help you keep time as well as help you manage your health in a better way.
Most smartwatches come with in-built fitness features like heart-rate sensor as well as GPS. For instant, Fitbit Versa is sold out as a device that focuses on health rather than a replacement to smartphone. There are some smartwatches like Apple Series 3 that will not need a smartphone so as to function but most of the smartwatches are designed to work alongside a device.
Do not purchase a smartwatch before confirming that the device will work with your phone. This is because not all watches are compatible with all smartphones. For instance, Apple watches can only work in companion with iPhones and Samsung Tizen and wear OS works with iPhones and Android phones. The two will feature less features when used with iPhones than when used with the Android phones.
Choose a watch that has GPS and heart-rate sensor which tracks the way you run and especially when working for fitness.
Confirm that the buckle or the clasp of the band watch is as easy for use as well as can be easily swapped. As well ensure that getting a replacement for the bands is as easy.
Application selection as well as is one factor which is also key for design, compatibility as well as other features.
Almost all smartwatches which are in the market make of either AMOLED display or LCD colorful screen which helps you get a view of applications, photos and also more content which has higher color resolutions also it should be brighter. Although many makers of smartwatches are working so as to make improvements of the efficiency of the devices, most of them feature batteries with shorter lives.
Color displays tend to consume more power which forces most of he watches to turn their screens off while asleep such that each time you need to wake the device for you to see time. OLED displays are quite thinner compared to the LCD displays. The companies have then manufactured smartwatches with OLED displays recently hence coming up with very thin displays like the likes of Galaxy Gear released in 2013 and Apple watch first generation watches.
Before kratom was introduced to the rest of the world, it was only popular in Southeast Asia. This is where it originated. Thailand has always been believed to be motherland of the evergreen tree. The Dutch settlers discovered the plant back in the 1800s. Today kratom is indigenous in Indonesia, Borneo, and Malaysia. Kratom now days are much common in various stores.
Actually, kratom is an evergreen tree, which is scientifically known as Mitragyna Speciosa. The plant can be 82 ft high and 3 ft diameter. The plant features some leaves that are selected carefully to maintain all properties when crushed to kratom powder. Although many people in Southeast Asia like smoking cigarettes or chewing the leaves from this product, there are other ways if consuming the product. You can also add in your coffee or tea.
If you are looking for the best place to buy the kratom, consider buying from the genuine vendors. Some authorized vendors include authentic kratom. They have over 35 varieties for sale. Typically, you will receive the product the same day. Over 1500 customers have reviewed authentic kratom as the best place to buy. You will buy a fresh product and achieve the desired results. They have a track of accomplishment in the United States of America.
When you buy the kratom there are a few things that you should observe. If you receive Kratom in a bag that does not have a label, that should sound like an alarm to you. The package should be branded, with a clear label. The label contains details of the product inside. There must be a list of items included in the product.
Additionally, a genuine product should contain information on how you should use or store it. This is important customer care information. However, if you do not find labeling information, you must find out how professional the supplier could. You can read the reviews of the customers that have already used the product.
It is very important to that the product is prohibited in Myanmar and Australia. Other countries like Germany, New Zealand, and Romania have restricted the use of the product. In America, it has been legalized in many states. However, it is very important to find out from the state that you live. The product can be bought in retail or bulk. You can buy what you can easily afford.

For anyone who ever thought ponytails are dull and drab, this hairstyle at the Herve Leger Fall 2009 Fashion Show will prove you wrong. “This look is very sleek and polished in front, but in back the ponytail is full of incredible volume. It’s almost like it is exploding,” explains lead hairstylist Dennis Lanni for Bumble and bumble.
To create this amazing body, he pulled hair back then secured in a ponytail. Then he rolled small sections of the ponytail up into figure 8 shapes, securing them with a small elastic.
Next, he crimped each one by squeezing it with a flat iron.
Once cool, he undid the figure 8’s, lightly brushed out and then teased all over for full volume. HOT!

Shooting at night can be the most difficult problem for digital video filmmakers, except for filming under water. At night you have the awkward position of filming something that is both visible and looks as though it is actually at night. Often times you will have sources of light in your environment, such as lights from a building or even a little bit of moonlight, but this is not always going to be true. The process of actually making your night image, which is filmed at night, appear correct is called night for night.
All the images you see in a nighttime environment come from specific sources. These could be actual light bulbs or from the moon, but either way they usually come from a fixed light location. To achieve night for night you have to set up your lighting pattern with this in mind.
Every light source has to be identifiable in a sense, or at least traceable back to a probable location when put under inspection. This means that they have to come from reasonable angles and locations. Light through windows, moonlight coming straight from above, and passing car lights are all possible ideas. At the same time the lights have to be very sharp, produce strong shadows, and have very fast falloff.
Just as with day for night you can use a series of gels and filters in night for night to correct the effect. At times you will have to use a blue filter to help the moonlight appear correct, and slight yellow filters are often used for streetlights. At night colors have less contrast and you will notice that all colors should be less intense.
Try a few desaturating filters to work on this, and make sure that any light color there is does not have too much color saturation. For example, if the gel you are using for the moonlight has too intense of a blue tint then you may have to lose it or color balance the final image.
Night for night is best when there is a little bit of natural light to use. The dark hours of dusk and twilight are great because you will get enough light to see the general areas, but not enough for it to look like day at all. If this is the case you must be well rehearsed ahead of time because you will usually have less than an hour to film.

Drivers looking for a midsize crossover vehicle that can handle even the most intense off-road challenges may be interested in one of the models in this 2018 Toyota 4Runner vs 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee comparison. Both of these models offer generous interior space and can come equipped to handle challenging terrain. However, the 2018 Toyota 4Runner has several advantages when it comes to dimensions and versatility.
While the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available with only a five-passenger interior seating capacity, the 2018 Toyota 4Runner has an optional third row that can increase its base five-passenger seating to seven. This is possible because the 2018 Toyota 4Runner has a maximum cargo area of 89.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down, compared to the just 68.3 cubic feet available on the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This means that the attractive 2018 4Runner can offer more options when it comes to seating and hauling cargo.
Both models in this 2018 Toyota 4Runner vs 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee comparison offer selectable driving modes that can help them handle confidently off the road, but only the 2018 4Runner also comes standard with driver assistance features that can help drivers and passengers stay secure in traffic. With standard Toyota Safety Sense™ on the 2018 Toyota 4Runner crossover drivers can enjoy adaptive cruise control, lane keeping warnings, automatic high beams, and the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. Drivers can enjoy similar features on the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but only on the elite Summit model.
Whether you are tackling uncompromising off-road terrain, or transporting up to seven passengers in changing traffic conditions, the 2018 Toyota 4Runner excels in this comparison. To learn more about this vehicle in the Nashville TN area, contact a member of the Nashville Toyota North sales team to learn more or even schedule a test drive.

Smiling is a natural way to show happiness or pleasure. Even blind babies, who have never seen a smile, smile at a pleasing sound or voice. When you feel good, you just have to show it! But, what are the benefits of smiling? Should we really be aiming to smile more, or should we be satisfied with the amount of smiling that we currently do on a day-to-day basis? You may find yourself smiling a lot as you read this article when you realize how awesome the benefits of smiling are.
Smiling is a universal language, and when people see you smile, they instantly find you more likable and attractive. Smiling changes your whole demeanor and it is one of the quickest and cheapest beauty remedies out there. This is good news if you are single and trying to find someone, but it is also good news if you just want to have better experiences with people, no matter where you go or who you want to influence.
It’s interesting that the benefits of smiling also include more trust in relationships. Research has shown that we are more trustful of people when they sincerely smile at us. What this means for your current relationships is more happiness. Since trust is the basis of all relationships, increasing trust can only improve and strengthen them.
The people who need to see a smile the most are often the people who can’t force a smile on their face. A warm smile, combined with a warm attitude, can warm up anyone’s heart and spread some light in a world that may seem pretty bleak to them.
For example, a friend of mine worked at a hospital for many years, and he has told me that offering a smile in a place like that is similar to offering gold. Staff become numb to the suffering that patients are going through, because they see it day in and day out, so they are quick and ‘professional’ with people who are in pain or not doing well. And, sometime, staff becomes annoyed with their job, which means they become rude and short-tempered with the patients they deal with. Not all staff, but many. They are busy doing their job, which consists of routine day-to-day tasks, but they forget that their job is also taking care of people through hard times. The nurses, doctors, and support staff who were able to offer a genuine smile to people suffering, were the most liked staff in the place, not just by the patients, but the other staff as well.
Smiling also makes other people feel more comfortable in your presence. Imagine walking into a big party where everyone is frowning and talking in a serious manner. It would be hard to approach someone comfortably in that situation. However, if there was one person standing beside the bar, smiling, would you feel comfortable approaching them? Probably. You would be drawn to that person over all the other people in the room, despite how many there were, simply because of a smile.
Never mind being liked more, the power of your smile can actually make someone else smile. In fact, research has shown that your brain responds to a smile in a way that activates a smile on yourself. Perhaps this is why it is so hard to not smile at someone when they smile at you – even if they are making you upset. The common statistic is that more than 50% of the people you meet will smile back at you. And the good news is that smiling has a bunch of other health benefits, so you will be helping other people become healthier if you can get them to smile!
If you are feeling stressed out or upset, then smile. The hormones that are released – endorphins – are the same hormones that are released when you exercise, which we all know makes us feel better about ourselves and the day we are living. What are the specific benefits of releasing endorphins?
So, smiling is good for your health, and if you are not doing it now, then you are not taking advantage of the cheapest form of medicine around.
Did you get caught doing something embarrassing or something that you shouldn’t have done? Smiling may help you out more than a long-winded speech trying to convince someone to forgive you or look past your trespasses. Smiling has been shown to promote empathy with other people, which means that you may be able to help someone else see things from your point of view, and why you did what you did, by smiling before you explain yourself.
Kids seem to know this well, especially teenage boys. It’s like their secret weapon to getting out of trouble. They will give you a charming smile, make you smile, and then whatever they did doesn’t seem as bad as it was before they made you smile. They use it as a weapon to relate to you and minimize the anger, and it works well! Remember this tactic the next time you have some explaining to do!
Research has found that people with beaming smiles in their pictures while younger outlive the people who kept a straight face. In fact, one study has found that having the ability to smile throughout life can increase your lifespan about 7 years.
This is likely due to the health, relationship, and mood benefits that smiling has. When you feel stressed out, you are affecting your body negatively by putting a lot of stress on it, but when you are able to smile and relax, you are encouraging your body to relax as well, which is great for healing and repairing. Moreover, healthier relationships have also been shown to increase your lifespan, and when you are able to increase the trust and happiness in your relationships by smiling often, it makes sense that your lifespan would also be increased.
First, relationships are crucial to having more success towards your goal. They can help you get ahead and stay motivated. Second, better health helps you achieve your goals faster. When you are energetic and in good spirits, you are more likely to stick to the habits that help you reach your goals and do what needs to be done. Since smiling benefits your relationships and your health, it makes sense that it would also help you achieve your goals!
Moreover, a smile can help you appear confident, even when you don’t feel it, and earn the respect of people that you need to help you achieve your goals as well as give you the motivation you need to keep working towards them. If you ever watch people whistling while they work, you can see this in action. When you feel good about yourself and what you are doing, you get things done.
Joan Rivers once said “the first time I see a jogger smiling, I’ll consider it.” Thinking about her quote, I personally don’t see joggers smiling either, and even though I know they benefit from it, I don’t feel like it is something that would bring me a lot of pleasure. However, when I watch people dance, I see a lot of smiling, and it makes me want to dance too. Same with cooking.
Smiling makes whatever you are doing look exciting or fun. Even one of my favorite YouTube vloggers is a woman who smiles as she talks – always, which has convinced me that she is very passionate about what she does, and inspires me to do the things she recommends.
As with all benefits of smiling, the smile has to be genuine, which hers is. Some vloggers (or people in my direct life) put on a fake smile, and it makes me think they are trying to convince me of something simply for the fact that they want to sell me on something or – possibly, convince themselves that they are really happy. Either way, it doesn’t convince me of anything.
Not only does smiling make you look more attractive, whatever age you are, it also makes you look younger. How much younger differs depending on who you talk to. A post on the Daily Mail said that smiling can make you look up to four years younger, but there are some people who are adamant that it can reduce your age by much more.
There is not a lot of literature on why smiling makes you look younger, but I have a good guess. Smiling is a youthful thing to do. Kids smile all the time, and we all love when they laugh and giggle at something completely random. It is a way to show their innocence, even in the toughest of times. In other words, a smile represents youthfulness and innocence, so when we see someone smile, our brain perceives their youthfulness and innocence and instantly takes a few or more years off their real age.
A smile can get you out of a sticky situation, but it can also promote harmony in times of stress. Mother Teresa once said “peace beings with a smile,” and it is such a simple truth that we often miss it.
Instead of trying to please other people or force them to see our point of view, smiling can send a message that we are not judging them or thinking bad thoughts about them in any way. Instead, a smile shows them that we feel good in their company, which helps them lower their defenses and feel better in our company. Harmony.
So, the next time you find yourself in a disagreement, or in a situation where a disagreement is likely to pop up, use your biggest weapon – your smile. You may just find that what is usually a chaotic atmosphere becomes much more peaceful.
Have you been trying to think more positive thoughts? Smiling can help! I know that many people believe you must have positive thoughts before you can smile, but the truth is that you can influence your thoughts in a big way simply by your facial expressions. Frowning and scowling brings on the negative thoughts while smiling can help you increase and sustain the positive ones.
You don’t need a study to prove this to you. Simply pick something or someone to focus on, and then put a scowl on your face, as if it has really pissed you off. How are your thoughts towards what you are looking at? I’m going to place a bet and say negative in some way. Now, look at that same thing or person and smile for a few seconds. How do you feel now? Does it look completely different? More likable perhaps?
That’s the power that your facial experiences have on your thoughts. So, it goes without saying that smiling more can increase your positive thoughts. And, the longer you smile, the more positive thoughts you can retain. Since positive thinking is beneficial to everything in your life, including your success, happiness, relationships, and health, I would say that smiling is one powerful tool that you need to (not should) use.
Want people to worry about your ability to handle things? Don’t smile. But, if you want them to be confident in your confidence, then make sure you smile a confident smile when you talk to them. Don’t believe that this works? Check out your favorite actor or public figure and decide how you feel about them with or without a smile.
For instance, take a look at pictures of Kate Middleton and Prince William. When they are smiling, they look like they got everything under control. Even if just one of them is smiling, it gives you confidence that they are on top of their game. I have a feeling that they know this, because it is very hard to find a picture without them smiling. But, when you do, they look less confident in themselves, and it forces your brain to perceive them as less in control of what is going on.
You may not be a public figure, but you are still a figure in a lot of people’s lives. If you want to convince people around you that you have it all under control, then put a smile on combined with a positive stance, and you will put their minds at ease.

For many homeowners, hardwood flooring is an investment. As we’ve said before, this type of flooring increases the resale value of any home. But installation, especially on the high-end scale, could set you back more than $10,000.
The good news is, there are flooring options that mimic the look of wood. Luxury vinyl plank flooring is one. Hardwood tiles are also a good choice.
Now, if you’ve narrowed your options to tiles vs hardwood, we can help you decide. Here, we’ll talk about the pros and cons of hardwood tiles and hardwood flooring.
A hardwood tile is a bit of a misnomer. After all, tile is tile, and wood is wood. When customers say hardwood tile, they’re actually referring to faux wood tile flooring. And it’s as you imagine it to be – porcelain or ceramic tile that mimics the look of wood.
That said let’s take a closer look at its pros and cons.
The main advantage of this type of flooring is you get the look you love and the durability of tile. As you know, wood isn’t scratch-proof. But porcelain tiles are, which makes them perfect for a home with kids or pets.
They’re also impermeable to water. This makes faux wood tiles ideal for high-traffic areas. These include kitchens, entryways, and bathrooms.
They’re also very versatile. Even in basements, they hold up well. That means you can use them all over your home if you want.
Tiles can be cold to the touch. And who wants to walk on cold floors during winter?
They’re also louder. That is they reflect noise more. So if you have kids and dogs, you need to invest in some area rugs to deaden some of the noise.
And yes, they can crack and chip. Faux wood tiles are durable, no doubt. But they’re not impervious to damage if you drop heavy objects on your tile flooring.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Hardwood is everyone’s favorite. Wood floors are unbeatable when it comes to achieving that rich, cozy aesthetic.
But they’re not without disadvantages. Let’s talk about that as we explain the pros and cons of hardwood flooring in more detail.
Hardwood is beautiful and timeless. With other flooring options, you can’t be sure if they’ll still be the trend, 10, 20 years from now.
Hardwood floors are a classic for a reason and they can last for generations to come. They’re also easier on the feet (yours and your pets) and warmer, too.
Wood is not scratch-proof and can swell with too much water. This is what makes it tricky to use in high-traffic areas. Unless you’re okay with constant maintenance and repair.
And you have to consider if it’s worth the price if you live in a termite-prone area. Remember, hardwood is expensive. If the price isn’t a problem then, by all means, go for it. But if you want to be practical, using hardwood in all areas of your home may not be the best idea.
Tiles vs Hardwood: Have You Made Your Choice?

My homebrewing club, Charlottesville Area Masters of Real Ale (CAMRA), organized tours of two local brewing companies this past weekend. The first stop was Devils Backbone Brewing Company (DBBC), which is located at the foot of Wintergreen Mountain, near Nellysford, VA. DBBC gained national recognition last year when they the 2010 World Beer Cup Champion Brewery and Brewmaster Small Brewpub award for wining the most medals in their size category at the World Beer Cup. The brewery started making beer in 2008 and has done well enough for themselves that they are opening a bottling facility to take their beer to a larger market.
The brew pub building is has a very rustic style to it, one that fits well with its mountainous surroundings. The main part of the pub has vaulted ceilings and walls that are adorned with various mounted animals, making the pub seem like a hunting lodge. The wall behind the bar has glass windows that looks in on the brewhouse, which is of German design, but was manufactured in Japan (the instructions around the switch board are still in Japanese). The DBBC brewmaster, Jason Oliver, gave us a tour, which was very informative. After it was over, we all sat down to have a nice lunch on the DBBC deck, which overlooks the beautiful countryside.
Stay tuned for the second stop on the trip, Wild Wolf Brewing Company.
Pictures from the event are below. I apologize for their quality, as I only had my cell phone on hand to take them.

Scarsdale High School Homecoming Dance: September 26, 2002–Countless students surround trash cans as they fight waves of nausea. Some individuals lie unconscious on the gym floor. Four students are sped to the hospital, and 28 are suspended for three days. Because of the amount of underage drinking that took place at the 2002 Homecoming Dance, our school’s Raider Rager has never been the same.
Claire Lobenfeld ’02, attended the Raider Rager as a senior. Not only was it expected, but it was an annual tradition for upperclassmen to show up to the homecoming dance intoxicated. “There were little to no secrets about the fact that people intended to drink a lot before showing up,” stated Lobenfeld. After numerous students were suspended from school, “there was definitely some resentment toward the administration for harming some student’s ability to get into colleges (that) they applied (to) for early decision,” said Lobenfeld. This scandal left a lasting impression on the school’s future homecoming dances for years to come.
Scarsdale High School brought back the homecoming dance in September 2012. Although stricter rules were created in order to avoid drinking, students still arrived intoxicated. It wasn’t until the 2014-2015 school year that the dance was transformed into a ‘business attire’ event. A dress code was enforced, and students were tested with a breathalyzer before entering the building. Tickets had to be purchased days before the dance instead of being sold at the door. A small turnout and multiple bad reviews of the dance lead to the ultimate failure of the September 2014 dance.
Despite weeks of preparation by the school government and government advisors in September 2015 to reinvent the homecoming dance, there was no other option but to cancel the dance due to low ticket sales. “I think whenever we plan an after-school activity, especially one that embodies school spirit, you want it to be successful,” stated SHS Principal Kenneth Bonamo. In recent years, the turnout for government-organized after-school activities has decreased, placing more pressure on school officials to rally the community. “It wasn’t an easy decision. We determined on Friday morning that there were not enough tickets sold to justify running the dance. There is currently a committee in school government that is looking into school spirit and possibly revamping the dance or coming up with alternative events that would increase spirit,” remarked school government advisor Patrick Healy.
The cancellation of the school dance made government and staff once again question school spirit. During Raider Pride week, few students attended school wearing the daily school spirit clothing themes, leaving only the members of the school government dressed up. “It’s kind of upsetting because we’ve been seeing a lack of spirit and I think that this really demonstrated that,” said school government member Emily Chase ’17. During the annual Pep Rally, hosted sixth period on the last day of Spirit Week, which is always a Friday, fall sport teams are recognized by the SHS student body. Students are able to participate in basketball games, tug-of-war, and dance battles against other students and teachers. Yet these activities are not enough to stop students from sneaking out of the Pep Rally early. Some sprint from their final class to school exits in hopes of ditching the Rally. They beg teachers to “save them” from attending the event, asking faculty to instead let them do homework. A few students even spend their fifth period planning an escape from the Rally. What has always been intended as a fun, social event has become a dreaded formality in the eyes of the student body.
In contrast to the poorly attended Homecoming Dance at SHS, the homecoming dances of neighboring school districts are popular. Students hailing from other Westchester high schools such as New Rochelle, White Plains, and Harrison take pride in their respective dances. The success of these school dances may be attributed to the large presence of school spirit within the student body. “Harrison High School has a lot of school spirit particularly because we see our school and our town as a community and a family,” shared Emma Abramson ’17, a student of Harrison High School. Exhibiting a sense of school dignity, Harrison High School has fostered a unique and inclusive environment. “School spirit for us is a way to come together and celebrate our love for Harrison!” added Abramson. In light of the contrast between Scarsdale and much of Westchester, students and faculty at SHS are wondering if we can cultivate a sense of school spirit similar to that of Harrison High School by attending student-government run events such as the Homecoming Dance.
Even though this year’s dance was cancelled, Scarsdale High School students have found other ways to express school spirit. Many students have attended sporting events and matches this fall to support the successful and hardworking SHS athletic teams. “When I go to Saturday football games, I see the stands are full with students, families, and former students, which is great,” said Bonamo. Chants led by the senior class are echoed by other classes, stands packed with the roar of “I believe that we will win!” Many come decked out in maroon and white, flashing Raider pride. It is at these games that students are connected to each other and their school. Hopefully we will be able to find some way to bridge our love of SHS sports teams with a need to support our school and display the spirit we all have within us.

“It's great news to hear that there's going to be research and monitoring into how people use renewable heat, and how well it works in practice. I thoroughly applaud that aspect of the scheme.
“However, the government still hasn't announced what rates will be available for the domestic renewable heat incentive, and what the eligibility criteria are. Without this information, investment in renewable heat is still prohibitively expensive for most people.
“In my conversations with installers about the subject, most have dismissed the renewable heat payments as too small to make any difference. A change in the price of oil is much more likely to get their phones ringing.

The Venezuela-based Backhand is a proficient prog rock ensemble that closely emulates their '70s inspirations.
Hearing Through the Turbulence for the first time, listeners can be forgiven for thinking they’re hearing a new Emerson, Lake, and Palmer side project. Is that John Anderson singing the lead vocals?
No, none of the members of ELP or Yes or fellow travelers like Gentle Giant are involved in the band called Backhand. But the spirit of what such groups created back in the ’70s is very much in evidence. In fact, Backhand is a Venezuela-based ensemble consisting of Pablo Mendoza (guitars), Adolfo Herrera (drums), Adrian Van Woerkom (keyboards), Oscar Bushel (bass), and Phil Naro (vocals). It’s the Dutch-born van Woerkom who channels Keith Emerson so precisely and New York/Canadian Emmy Award-winning vocalist Naro (DDrive, Talas, Druckfarben) whose four-octave tenor voice effortlessly evokes Anderson.
Recorded in 2013 and formerly only available as an import, Through the Turbulence is slowly, very slowly, gaining an audience among those who like both prog rock and jazz rock fusion. That means, of course, the 12 tracks are filled with extremely proficient solos and many extended sections where the players can show off their chops. Naro, who also contributed to the songwriting, only appears on five of the songs: “Hold the Light,” “The Big Red Wall,” “A Million People Crying, Pt. 1,” “Crime Story,” and the closer, “Me, Myself and I.” It’s the stories Naro sings that makes Through the Turbulence accessible to a wider audience beyond those who are primarily interested in skilled instrumental virtuosity. Still, one suspects Naro isn’t really a full-time member of this ensemble, but is rather lending his voice to but one of many of his projects. After all, earlier this year, Druckfarben released their second album, Second Sound, and Naro was very much a presence on that Canadian prog rock release.
The 11-minute opener to Through the Turbulence, “Introspektion,” is a good showcase for what listeners can expect throughout. The first section sounds like a symphonic overture before the middle becomes a keyboard blues passage followed by a reminder of what prog rock used to sound like when ELP, Yes, and all those guys created the genre. “Hold the Light” introduces Naro to the mix, but perhaps his best contribution to the set is in “A Million People Crying Part I” which is a clear commentary on the cost of war. As the program continues, I was reminded more and more of Naro’s other band, Druckfarben. Both bands offer A-list performances, but have little to distinguish their music from anyone else in the tradition they so clearly love.
So it’s your own devotion to prog rock that’s largely going to determine your interest in Backhand. For some of us, we’ll have a been there, heard that before reaction; others will say, “That’s true, but give us more!” Well, here’s more. Backhand is a band to be admired, even studied, but they’re not likely to excite an audience not already enamored with classical/jazz/rock.

Some questions are meant to increase our awareness about where we are and encourage us to learn from our experience. However, the way a question is formulated can make a huge difference in what you get out of it. This is applicable both to asking the question as a trainer or asking the question from yourself when self-reflecting.
In fact, there is a class of such questions called reflections on past performance. Here, you will be introduced to these questions and will see how to formulate them correctly for the best results.
Give them a try. Start thinking about your past and go back in time. Why did you make the decision to pursue a particular career? Why did you choose to study a particular field? What would have happened if you could avoid the argument with your boss the other week? How would it have been if you didn’t have to bring up children?
Now, ask yourself how you feel. Most probably you feel very negative. You are constantly regretting what you have done or trying hard to avoid accepting what you have done wrong. Generally, these “what if” questions will only make you feel bad about the past without helping your future. On the outset they look like valid reflective questions that will help you to understand yourself and learn from your experience. In reality, they only make you feel regretful.
A particularly bad question is one such as “what if I could go back to being a child again so that I could do things differently?” The problem with this question is that it assumes you take back your current experience with you so that you can make a decision based on what you know now.
This doesn’t really help much as you didn’t have the experience you have now. You made a decision based on your previous experience and knowledge. There is no point to feel regretful now that you know better.
The only thing you should worry about is to make a mistake twice.
The wrong way to approach these questions is to try to avoid them altogether as unfortunately some experts suggest. This can be difficult as we are consummate decision makers and it is only natural to constantly question every single decision made. It is part of the process of improving decision making with the main aim to improve quality of life.
Hence, instead of trying to avoid such questions, aim to refocus the questions from past to future. Past is gone; all you have left is the future. By focusing on future and systematically formulating your questions with a bias on future, you will get a lot more out of your self-reflection.
Remember, always aim to formulate your questions in a way that point you towards future actions, not what has happened already. Past is gone and will not be back again. All you should care about is the future.

A Polish immigrant to the United States who forged her own path in the beauty industry and helped make it more approachable for women across the globe.
One famous story about her is she wanted to buy this triplex apartment at 625 Park Avenue and she was turned down because she was Jewish. So, she turned around and bought the whole building.
Born in Poland in 1870, Helena Rubenstein was the oldest of 8 girls and was never considered very pretty. Her parents tried to marry her off at age 17 but instead, she ran away to live with relatives far away in Australia. The rest of her life would stem from this first bold act of independence.
I was always in awe of her courage and what I called her chutzpah – her not being afraid of anything.
Australia was the first place she ever felt beautiful. People commented on her soft, smooth skin. Feeling beautiful made her feel confident and her instincts told her this was a marketable concept. Self confidence in a compact.
She said that every woman could make herself more beautiful based on the characteristics that she already had. If you had beautiful hair, then make the most of it. If you had beautiful eyes, then make the most of them. She formulated and started selling in small batches of what she called Valaze cream.
Demand for the cream, and her natural skills in marketing enabled her to open a single-room beauty salon in Melbourne, Australia.
She was considered the first person to consider science with beauty. She was not a doctor. She did not study medicine. But that was the illusion of her products. After Melbourne, Helena opened a second salon in Sydney, then decided to prove herself in Europe. But women were not allowed to take out bank loans. So, she laid out her own $100,000 to open up a salon in London. Then, she opened in Paris. But she was still growing. And she decided, what was the best place to open a salon? In New York! 5th Avenue!
And what’s extraordinary about that salon is that she created an environment of beauty. There were classrooms to teach you how to put on makeup. There was a theatre where people gave lectures. You were immersed in a culture. A culture of beauty.
By the mid-1920’s, Rubenstein had almost single-handedly built the first global cosmetics empire. Before Elizabeth Arden, Revlon and Estee Lauder became household names, Helena Rubenstein was who women looked to, to help them to find their own standard of beauty.
In 1928 after she had quite some success in New York, she decides to sell the company to Lehman Brother for $7.8 Million. A year later, she manages to buy her company back for only $1 Million. She developed it into a multi-million-dollar company again. At the end of her life in 1965, Rubenstein had salons and factories in 15 countries, employed 32,000 people and was worth over $100 Million. She had armed 20th century women around the world with self-confidence in a compact.
Chutzpah is a very wonderful word. Because it means having the courage and yet not caring what other people think. You just follow your own road.

April Topic: What Can Organizations Learn From Artists?
In April, we’ll be focusing on artists to explore what kinds of practices adaptive organizations might learn from the artistic process.
What can organizations learn from artists to help them stay adaptive and resilient? Image: Sangon Kim/Tumblr.
This post is the second in a series of investigations into the practices, processes, and behaviors that organizations undertake in order to stay continuously adaptive. Each month, we’ll explore a different area of organizational life. Learn more about this series.
This month, we’re continuing with our new editorial direction, in which we’re deeply exploring our 2014 Research Question: How do organizations stay continuously adaptive?
In April, we’ll be focusing on artists to explore what kinds of practices organizations might learn from the artistic process.
What can adaptive organizations learn from artists?
When I sat down to write the introductory piece for this month’s topic, I’ll admit I was daunted by the prospect of having to define “artist” and “the artistic process” in a useful way. Those labels mean different things to different folks in different contexts.
So, I won’t attempt to do that at all. Instead, I’ll speak from my own experience and invite all our readers to contribute theirs. Our goal is to illustrate a rich tapestry of what it means to be an artist and what the artistic process looks like in practice, so that those who run arts organizations might learn from those practices and intentionally incorporate them into their own work.
I come from a theater background, where playwrights, director, actors, and designers bring different skills, perspectives, and responsibilities to a shared process. During rehearsals, ideas are generated from different sources (actors, directors, stage managers, designers, interns), tested out, improved by the group, and either incorporated into the overall vision or let go. Tensions arise and the success of the production often depends on the leader’s ability to manage those tensions in a productive way. In tech, the show is solidified, but it’s never truly finished. Every night, the performers respond to the needs of their audience.
In this context, the artistic process is rooted in experimentation, discovery, and improvisation. It requires that the group stays open to ideas from any source, that the leader navigates heat and ambiguity, and that everyone lets go of that which isn’t useful. Diverse voices are essential. So is collaboration.
As a filmmaker, I work for long stretches alone, punctuated by short periods of intense collaboration. During shooting, all the planning in the world can’t stop the reality of weather, locations, and personalities from affecting the dynamics of the work. In the edit room, you’ve got to let go of your original vision of the material to find the most powerful version contained in the footage you actually have, even if that requires cutting your favorite shot or rethinking a scene that’s not working the way you thought it might work.
In this context, the artistic process requires persistence, flexibility, shifting assumptions, and finding the courage to let go of something that isn’t working in favor of taking a new direction.
In my work at EmcArts, I’ve found that organizations that embrace these kinds of principles — experimentation, improvisation, openness to new ideas, letting go of things that are no longer useful — are well poised to adapt to the complex challenges they face.
I find myself asking: Can organizations be an art project of their own? Must they be?
This is just my experience. There’s a great wealth of insight about the creative process on the Creative Capital blog, the Brooklyn Commune, Springboard for the Arts’s Creative Exchange, and many others. I hope you’ll share your practices so that others can learn from you.
How do you embed the artistic process in your practice?
We’ll be investigating what organizations can learn from artists about staying adaptive by gathering insights and testimonials from a wide variety of voices. Our goal is to better understand how artists stay open, responsive, and resilient, and what that might mean for organizations looking to do the same.
How can an organization embed artistic process into its practice?
How can organizations create space for artists?
What can organizations learn from the practices of artists who work directly with, for, and in their own communities?

The gates of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Just as royal and religious life in Thailand are centered around the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the neighboring Kingdom of Cambodia has its own impressive royal palace and temple where visitors can learn more about the royal history and culture of the small Southeast Asian kingdom.
A visit to the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda is one of the must-have experiences when visiting Phnom Penh. Although the monarchy was deposed in the 1970s by the Khmer Rouge, it was restored in 1993, returning the previous king to the throne. This makes Cambodia one of the few countries in modern history to restore its monarchy.
Today, some parts of the Royal Palace, including the Throne Hall, Silver Pagoda, and some dozen or so Buddhist shrines and stupas, are open to the public. The residences of the royal family are, of course, off limits to tourists.
The Throne Hall at the Cambodian Royal Palace, Phnom Penh.
The Silver Pagoda, rarely called by its official name, “Temple of the Emerald-Crystal Buddha”, is the most important Buddhist temple in Phnom Penh, and the royal temple of Cambodia.
Murals at the Royal Palace depicting scenes from Cambodian history and legends.
The murals at the temple depict scenes from Cambodian history and the Ramayana. Although it fell into disrepair during the Khmer Rouge era, the temple has undergone excellent restoration. Many of the murals have been returned to their original state.
The main building in the temple compound at the palace is the Silver Pagoda, named for the silver tiles that covered the temple in the pre-Khmer Rouge monarchy period.
The temple holds Cambodia’s 17th-century replica of the Emerald Buddha, the most holy religious image in Theravada Buddhism. The original Emerald Buddha is now housed at Wat Phra Keao at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand.
Buddha statues at one of the many shrines at the Royal Palace.
Photograph is not permitted inside the Throne Hall or inside the Silver Pagoda.
Visitors are asked to remove shoes when entering any temple or shrine building at the Royal Palace.
Visitors should be advised that a dress code is required to visit the Royal Palace. The dress code forbids short, short skirts, and sleeveless shirts. Arms and legs must be covered.
The Silver Pagoda is the most important royal temple in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda are located in central Phnom Penh along the banks of the Mekong River. The palace is located next to the National Museum of Cambodia, and down the road from Wat Phnom.
A common scam involves tuk-tuk drivers or tour guides telling tourists that the palace is closed. This is in an attempt to get them to hire the driver for the day instead. Don’t fall for this! The palace is open every day.
A ticket to the Royal Palace includes visiting the Throne Hall, Silver Pagoda, and various other royal pavilions and Buddhist shrines.
Tickets to the Royal Palace cost 40,000 KHR or $10. The ticket comes with a map, which explains what each building and structure at the palace compound is.
Tour guides are available for hire for an additional $10.
An entry ticket (40,000 khr or $10) to the Royal Palace and a map of the palace grounds.

There are so many potholes between Estates Drive and Highway 13. It’s ruining our tires and it’s damgerous because people are swerving to miss them. That entire section if street needs repaving.
OAK 311 has received this issue. Your service request ID is #864847. Thank you, in advance, for your patience as we work through a backlog of pothole service requests. Unfortunately the City does not have enough funding to repave all streets in poor condition. With limited funding, our response to resurfacing requests is limited to minor pavement and pothole repairs only. Our Street Maintenance Department will assess your street and determine whether temporary measures might be appropriate. Please understand that this work may be limited to pothole or other minor repairs, and that we have many similar requests. We will do our best to respond in a timely manner. The backlog of streets in Oakland needing pavement currently is $435 million and growing.
Thank you for your request. According to our system, we already have an open service request of this kind at this location. Your request has been combined with service request #831082. If you would like to check the status of the request, please contact OAK 311 at 510-615-5566 or OAK311@oaklandnet.com. This issue can also be followed by watching http://seeclickfix.com/issues/5084432.

The pastor asked several members of his congregation to get up in front of church, spread their arms out wide and form a line facing us.
Then he called a small girl from her seat and asked if she would place her hand out flat and squeeze it in somewhere near the middle of that human chain.
The pastor then explained that the chain formed by the arms represented eternity and the little child’s hand represented our life.
Pointing to the chain on one side of the child’s hand, he said that this end represented the life that went on forever, before we were born, and the chain on the other side of her hand, represented life that goes on forever after we die.
That was an eye-opener me.
You mean there was all that before my life and, there’ll be a whole lot after it – here on this earth and forever after?
If you’re anything like me, you may be a bit you may be a bit self-centered and feel like your life is the end all. Before we were, there wasn’t a whole lot going on and after we go, well, things will be about over.
But the chain was a great wake up call for me. It showed me, in the concept of time itself, how small my lifespan really is.
“We live in a small gleam of time twixt two eternities,” our pastor said. And he went on to explain that the Bible calls our lifespan a mere “handbreadth” of time.
If you look up “handbreadth,” you’ll find that it means a measurement of four fingers that is equal to nearly four inches.
In other words -- in the grand scheme of things, life is pretty short!
I don’t know why I’m like that, really. Maybe because time is something I can’t control.
But looking at it from our pastor’s perspective, I’ve come to realize that since life is pretty short, I want to make the most of the time I have left.
And I liked what our pastor did next.
Having index cards and pencils passed out to the congregation, he told us that most likely the oldest we would live was 90 barring an earlier death. And with that in mind, he told us to subtract our age from 90 to find out how many years we might have left.
I had 43, which looked pretty short compared to the girl next to me who had written 84 on her card!
From there, the pastor had us flip our cards over and write three things we would like to accomplish in our lives before we died. And he told us to quietly seek God for his will in this.
Both exercises got me really thinking about my life and it made me want to try harder to make every moment count.
It would be tough to do this on our own though wouldn’t it? Oh, we’d be mindful about it for a little while, but soon the stuff of life would take over.
I think the solution, as the pastor later said, is to keep God in the center of every moment of our lives.
That way we can look to him to lead and guide our steps to make the most of the time we have left.
That should help me stay on track.
How many years till you turn 90 and what are you going to do with them?

Maritime safety measures come under the spotlight when a disaster occurs. Last January 13, the cameras turned on Giglio island, where the Costa Concordia was grounded and capsized off the coast with more than 4,000 passengers on board. This incident prompted the enhancement of safety measures for European Union-based passenger ships. Even before, the Commission was discussing the possible revision of Directive 2009/45/EC which deals with safety rules and standards for liners. However, the Costa Concordia disaster pressured the EU to expedite the process for immediate action to be taken on the revision on passenger safety rules.

Two thirds of humankind do not have access to radiography, essential to the practice of modern medicine. On March 9th in Lausanne (Switzerland), EPFL and its partners presented GlobalDiagnostiX, a high-tech device ten times cheaper when considering existing pieces of equipment together with their maintenance costs, and specifically designed for developing countries. Famous economist Jeffrey Sachs is enthusiastic about this project!
In developing countries, many hospitals have become cemeteries of medical equipment. Several radiology systems, often sent by international aid, may never be used due to the climatic conditions and the instability of electricity networks. In a matter of weeks, they become useless. Besides, the lack of qualified personnel or spare parts rapidly dispels any hope to make them work. Yet, the lack of access to radiology in many developing countries is a serious public health problem, whether for TB screening or the care of road traffic injuries.
GlobalDiagnostiX is the first medical radiography device specifically designed for developing countries. Its total cost of ownership, including purchase and maintenance over 10 years, is 10 times cheaper than the existing equipment. A fully functional prototype was unveiled in Lausanne on 9 March 2015. It was designed under the leadership of EPFL’s the Cooperation & Development Center.
The Center’s EssentialTech team is in charge of the project and manages its various stakeholders. Indeed, four EPFL laboratories, ten research groups from the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO; fields of health, engineering and design), the Paul Scherrer Institute, CHUV, the EssentialMed foundation and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute worked in close collaboration with the University Hospital of Yaounde (Cameroon), the University Research Center on Energy for Health Care in Cameroon, and other local stakeholders.
The device is specifically designed to resist harsh tropical climate and the consequences of high temperatures, humidity and dust. It includes an examination stand which was designed to avoid any electrical controls. It can move up, down, and turn depending on the body part to be X-rayed. It is only composed of mechanical, solid and stainless constituents. A subtle and robust mechanism facilitates its handling while preventing errors that could lead to shocks or bad radiographies.
The radiographic image sensor has been completely redesigned to withstand shocks as well as the temperature and humidity. Very cheap, it is based on an array of twelve CMOS sensors whose images are assembled by the machine’s software. These sensors are commercially available and their cost is moderate; thus they can be easily replaced.
The latest development is probably the most important: resistance to often inadequate or undersized electrical networks. Indeed, to operate an X-ray emitter, a power supply whose tension is able to briefly reach 150’000 volts is required! The power module will provide this voltage without overloading the hospitals’ network, whose total consumption in developing countries is often lower than a single X-ray machine’s. It also implements an innovative energy storage system, allowing the entire system to operate for several hours even without an external energy supply.
And the research continues. First objective: raising funds – just under 2 million francs – for testing the first prototype’s reliability and improving its design, aiming at the creation of a second version by next year.
Designed to specifically meet the needs of hospitals in developing countries, GlobalDiagnostiX must leave the lab and get on the ground. A social business model has been created for this purpose. It will aim to make radiography not only accessible in developing countries but also in a self-sustainable and scalable way. The company’s business model, as well as its industrialization and deployment strategies, were developed with many stakeholders, such as potential customers and partners, in Switzerland and Africa.
