We are asking questions like this in our new exhibition Hidden in plain sight: Celebrating nursing diversity in an attempt to record the richness of nursing and its history. We want our archive to represent everyone’s story, so that in another 100 years of RCN history, people can look back and read about the contributions of nurses from all backgrounds. We identified three key gaps in our collection – histories and experiences relating to lesbian nurses, Deaf nurses and Asian nurses – and set about collecting personal stories and items from our members and the wider nursing community, to help fill these gaps.
It’s been quite the journey and has taken the library team to many places to meet all sorts of people. We’ve been digging through our own archives to reveal the stories of nurses like Uma Halder, who came from Calcutta to train in the UK in the 1950s. We also delved into the life of RCN member Cathlin Du Sautoy and her relationship with Hermione Blackwood; two nurses who worked in France just after the First World War and lived out their days together in Hampstead with two adopted children. It’s a relationship that throws a very different light on what it means to be a same sex couple in the early twentieth century. Shown alongside these stories from history, we have contributions of nurses working today.
We heard from Elizabeth Anionwu, who gave us her vinyl of Boney M’s Brown Girl in the Ring, as it reminds her of feeling just like that; the brown girl in the ring. Helen Cherry lost her hearing at four years old. She spoke to us about what it was like as a student nurse, and how the much criticised SEN training was actually the perfect stepping stone into the profession for her. RCN member Carol Webley Brown gave us a drawing of her, made by her friend (“When l sat my RGN exam, my white friend did a picture of me with afro hair - l love it”) and Lola Oni loaned us her belt buckle (“My Aunt had so much faith in me that she gave me my belt buckle before I even qualified. She said ‘You’ll be wearing this someday’”). Herbert Klein, Deaf advisor and Susan Eagling, one of the first BSL users to register as a nurse, both gave up time to be interviewed by us, videos of which are in the exhibition space. Herbert remembers the challenges with diagnosing mental health conditions in Deaf people, when there weren’t signs for words like ‘schizophrenia’. The RCN’s Dawne Garrett asks “What does it mean to be washed by a dyke? / Hugged by a gay? / Shrouded by a lesbian? / What would they say?” in her poem Lemons on the night shift.
Collecting these nursing stories hasn’t been without challenges. Why should someone’s sexuality have an impact on them as a nurse? What about nurses who consider themselves as deaf, but are not part of the BSL community? Why are some people happy to tick the disability box, and others are not? Were overseas nurses treated fairly when they were directed straight into SEN training? For the exhibition, we had to think about how we communicated these subjects and recognise that showcasing diversity is about showcasing individual experience; not homogenous groups of people.
Of course, we can only show a snapshot of a community so diverse in our small exhibition space at the Library and Heritage Centre, but our collecting work continues and we want you to help. Every nurse has a history, everyone’s story counts and diversity doesn’t ‘just happen’. So be proactive and help us preserve it. Pay us a visit if you’re in London or getting in touch with the Library team.
Hidden in Plain Sight is on display at the RCN Library and Heritage Centre until March 2018, when it will be going on display for a further 6 months at RCN Scotland in Edinburgh. We’ve got a whole programme of public events exploring themes in the exhibition. Visit to register for talks on trans history, deaf poetry and hidden disabilities. | https://www.rcn.org.uk/news-and-events/blogs/Hidden-in-Plain-Sight | 2018-10-15T16:54:59 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

A KNIFE-wielding man broke down a door and stole cash from a petrol station last night (Saturday).
The thug, whose face was covered, kicked his way through a glass door at the Shell petrol station in George Street, Caversham, shortly before 10pm.
He then went behind the counter and emptied money from the tills in to a carrier bag. He also stole the cash drawer before fleeing the shop.
Investigating officers revealed a member of staff was present at the time of the robbery but they were not injured.
A police spokesman said: “A man wearing a face covering forced entry to the Shell petrol station in George Street, Caversham, by kicking his way through a glass door.
“The offender, who was armed with a knife, went behind the counter and emptied money from the tills in to a carrier bag and took a cash drawer. He then left the shop and ran away.”
A scene watch was in place overnight but it has since been lifted.
Detective sergeant Gavin Styles added: ." | https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/around/15902876.APPEAL__Knife_wielding_man_broke_down_glass_door_and_stole_cash_during_shocking_petrol_station_raid/ | 2018-10-15T16:49:47 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Unico Floor Vase from Kähler is a distinctive and decorative piece, perfect for displaying a beautiful bunch of flowers or simply used as a floor sculpture.
Potter Anders Arhøj has collaborated with Kähler to create Unico - a truly unique and inspiring range of beautiful sculptural objects which are both surprising and fascinating. Unico is a range that will appeal to any style-conscious design lover with a penchant for unique art and history.
Inspired by Japanese artisanal traditions and Danish design aesthetics, the Unico series has established itself as a favourite in modern handcraft arts, and it is characterised by the application of a special, reactive glaze that ensures that no two pieces are the same.
The hallmark of the new Unico range is a dense, colourful glaze. Its simple decorative effect creates an exciting contrast with the light ceramic. The glaze spreads naturally, densely and randomly over the ceramic, culminating like a heavy drop, suspended in time with a beautiful, three-dimensional depth.
All elements in the Unico range have their own personality, adding colourful character to any room they decor<< | https://www.reallywellmade.co.uk/products/unico-floor-vase | 2018-10-15T18:15:54 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

The price of oil should be more stable this week now that the European Union has agreed to pay the first €12 billion (£10.8 billion) tranche of its €110 billion bailout for Greece.
Governments in the eurozone, agreed on Saturday to pay the cash to Greece, subject to IMF approval and set September as the new deadline for completing a second bailout package for the country.
Newedge Japan trader Yusuke Seta told the Wall Street Journal: “The oil markets will be unexciting this week, but they should be more stable after the agreement on Greece and hopefully this will help the currency markets, especially EUR/USD.”

TRENTHAM
1928 – 2009
Teresa Mary Trentham (nee McLellan) beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grand mother passed away peacefully with her loving husband and family at her side at the Red Deer Hospice, Thursday, December 3, at the age of 81. Teresa was born and raised in Drumheller, the fifth of 13 children of Margaret and John Dan McLellan. A graduate of the University of Alberta Faculty of Education, Normal School, Terry began her teaching career in one -room schools with no phone, no electricity and a five mile walk to the Ghostpine Store. Terry taught in Calgary and Windsor before returning to Drumheller where she married Robert Sidney Trentham (Bob). There, she taught at St. Anthony’s School until her retirement in 1985. Terry and Bob were very active members of St Anthony’s Parish where she was particularly proud of her work in the R.C.I.A program. They traveled often. They loved their cross-country trips to visit family, particularly to Cape Breton. Terry was a doer, a life-long learner who loved teaching and sharing her knowledge. She enjoyed new challenges, from continuing her university studies and numerous creative pursuits, to sharing family history. She was the main caregiver to her elderly parents, a prodigious correspondent with family and friends as well as the gravitational centre for her family. She loved hosting her grandchildren in Drumheller or at Fairmont Hot Springs, the inspiration for many family stories. Terry’s energy, spirit and compassion will be deeply missed by her husband Bob (now of Red Deer); her children Rod (Wendy) and Tim of Red Deer; Gerald (Jeffrey) of Buffalo; Barry (Lambert) of Toronto; Martina Payette (Roderick) of Airdrie; and her grandchildren Rachel Peters (Clark); Annemarie, Jeramy, Geoffrey, Katelyn and Mitchell; and her great-granddaughter Gracyn as well as her many nieces and nephews. She is survived by her sister Catherine and her brothers Fr. Greg, Johnny, Anthony, Charles and Leonard. Terry was predeceased by her sisters Dorothy, Isabel, Mary, Patricia and her brothers Frank and Cyril. A prayer service celebrating her life will be held at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820 – 45 Street, Red Deer, on Wednesday, December 9, 7:00 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be held at SACRED HEART PARISH, 5508-48A Avenue, Red Deer on Thursday, December 10 at 11:00 a.m. Donations in Terry’s memory can be made to the Red Deer Hospice Society, 99 Arnot Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 3S6. Condolences may be forwarded to the family at:

Perennial candidate and ex-con running for Enterprise school board
Russell Kay Hunt, who has for years unsuccessfully sought a variety of elected offices, is once again in the hunt for a seat on the Enterprise School District board of trustees.
But this time around, he's carrying a felony conviction for stalking.
Still, the 58-year-old Hunt, a Redding native who is accustomed to controversy and angering those in authority and elsewhere, is hoping to unseat one of three incumbents — Bonnie Hyatt, Scott Swendiman or Art Cuellar — who are all trying to retain their seats in the Nov. 6 election.
Although his felony conviction certainly doesn't look good on a resume, it's impossible to say whether it will ruin his election chances when voters go to the polls.
He's hoping it won't, because although his arrest, trial and conviction for stalking garnered publicity, a few years have passed since he was sentenced to prison.
"I think most people have no idea who I am," he said Thursday in a telephone conversation with the Record Searchlight.
He's run unsuccessfully before against Swendiman and Cuellar for the Enterprise school board, but this is the first time he and Hyatt, who was appointed to the board last year, have been on the same ballot.
MEASURE E: Enterprise wants to improve security, replace items like a 1956 cooling unit
Cuellar, who was elected to the board in 2004,could not be reached Friday for comment, while Swendiman, who has been on the board since 1994, politely declined to comment on Hunt's candidacy.
Meanwhile, Hyatt encourages voters to research the candidates on the internet, including herself, so they can better learn about them to make an informed decision.
"That will give them the information they need," she said of the race.
But the race also is low-key without any forums scheduled so the candidates can debate each other and answers questions from voters.
Hunt says he again is running for elected office because he believes everyone should make an attempt to get involved in local government and other groups to try to ensure public money is spent wisely, he said.
"If we are not the watchdogs of our money, we get what we deserve."
Hunt, who has erected campaign signs and distributed fliers around town to try to win votes, continues to maintain that he was unfairly convicted for stalking.
"If people knew truth" they would not let his felony conviction stand in the way of their voting for him, he said.
Hunt has been at the center of a number of controversy storms. He was sentenced in May 2013 to four years and eight months in prison after a jury convicted him of stalking a Redding woman he was obsessed with and who he wanted to make his wife, according to court documents.
MORE: Russell Hunt convicted of stalking
He was released from prison in September 2015 after serving half of his sentence.
Although initially required to register as a sex offender for life, the Third District Court of Appeal threw out that registrant requirement last year, saying it could not support a trial court finding that he committed the stalking crime as a result of sexual compulsion or for the purpose of sexual gratification.
RELATED LINK: Court strikes down Hunt's sex registration requirement
"This is not to ignore the disturbing nature of his behavior or the evidence of prior, similar acts against other women," the appellate court wrote in its ruling. "If stalking a member of the opposite sex were a registerable offense, it seems clear the defendant would be at a high risk of reoffending."
Nevertheless, Hunt says he was unfairly convicted for a number of reasons, including being denied a defense attorney at mid-trial and again after the jury returned its guilty verdict.
The appellate court, however, upheld his conviction after reviewing his case, including his requests for a defense attorney after he had earlier waived his right to legal counsel and acted as his own attorney at trial.
Despite his felony conviction, Hunt can run for public office because he's served his prison sentence and now has had all his voting rights restored, a spokeswoman for the Shasta County Elections Office said.
A Redding native and former school teacher, Hunt is the only candidate to file a campaign statement with the Shasta County Elections Office.
In it, he says, if elected he would seek a study to unify school districts in Shasta County.
"It is ridiculous to have 25 different school districts in Shasta County," his campaign statement says. "A lot of waste and duplication of services. Some schools overcrowded, others half empty."
Among other things, he said he would do if elected to the school board would be try to make school playgrounds safer.
If a school bond initiative, Measure E, is passed by voters in the November election, he says building walls around those school district's playgrounds would be a priority to better protect students from those on the streets.
"Tacky yes," he wrote. "But the children are now easy targets for the crazies, Safety first."
He also is advocating returning Parsons Middle School to a kindergarten to 8th-grade school and says he would randomly inspect each school at least once a month to ensure it was running smoothly.
Before his high-profile trial and conviction, Hunt was best known for campaigning unsuccessfully for several Shasta County public offices, including a run for the county clerk's office in which he vowed not to grant marriage licenses to transsexual couples.
Since the late 1980s he also has run unsuccessfully a number of times for the Redding City Council and other elected offices.

The Chicago Fire of 1871, commonly referred to as the Great Chicago Fire, began sometime in the evening on October 8, 1871. It was started in or around a barn owned by Catherine and Patrick O'Leary, located at 137 DeKoven Street on the southwest side of the city. Dry seasonal conditions, coupled with the extensive use of wood for building construction in the city in the late 19th century, caused the blaze to expand quickly.
After its initial ignition, the Great Chicago Fire quickly spread north and east towards the center of the city, largely due to strong southwesterly winds. An early routing error sent some of Chicago's 185 firemen to the wrong location, allowing the blaze to grow unchecked. The wind was sufficient to carry embers and burning material across the South Branch of the Chicago River, igniting lumber yards and warehouses along its length and into the central business district. The destruction of the city's main waterworks prevented the fire department from being able to adequately fight the blaze.
Rain on October 9th ultimately extinguished the fire, which burned a 3.3-square mile area and killed 300 people. The disaster, historically one of the worst in 19th century America, caused approximately $200 million in damage and left 100,000 residents homeless. | https://www.reference.com/history/chicago-fire-bda9eb0dd02d3a57 | 2018-10-15T17:16:00 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

For four days every year, downtown Junction City takes on a new identity.
People wearing traditional Scandinavian folk costumes sell Swedish meatballs and viking helmets from booths, some decorated like windmills, situated next to a US Bank branch on West Sixth Avenue, one of the several streets closed for the event. Loudspeakers play lute-based music on repeat. A small gathering of spinners and weavers sits next to stand selling aebleskivers, a Scandinavian desert that looks like a round, puffed pancake filled with jam.
It’s all part of the 58th annual Junction City Scandinavian Festival, a four-day event that kicked off Thursday and showcases four different Northern European cultures: Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. It’s the town’s biggest event of the year, bringing the community’s rich Scandinavian history to the forefront with community performances, demonstrations and food.
The featured performances are largely the same between the four days. But the local community treats the festival — regularly attended by tens of thousands during its run — as an important staple of the Junction City's collective heritage.
"It's important to celebrate your roots, where you come from," festival worker Gerry Dykstra said. "We like an event that pulls people together. It's about more than just making money (for the community). It's about people coming together."
The festival opened Thursday with Norwegian Day, which featured dancing and polka music throughout the day on the Festival Park Stage. The Junction City Scandia Children Dancers opened the stage at 11 a.m., inviting children as young as 2 to dance with peers and adult supervisors. Each day of the festival will feature various styles of Scandinavian dance on the Festival Stage, with performances planned through 10 p.m.
Two other stages showcase musical groups and informational presentations about embroidery and photo opportunities with people dressed as trolls and vikings. In addition to the many food offerings, there's also a beer garden and a wine terrace.
The festival continues with Swedish Day on Friday, Danish Day on Saturday and Finnish Day on Sunday. Each schedule invites similar performances and vendors, culminating in a community dance at the end of every day at 10 p.m.
“It’s a marathon,” festival treasurer Jason MacDonald said. “But seeing the whole community come together, dancing and experiencing the culture like this, makes it all worth it.”
The festival also hosts an art show sponsored by the Junction City Art Association, and venues for local crafters to sell pipes, knitted sweaters, carpets and other wares.
Frequent attendees say the festival introduces a peek into a foreign and fascinating way of life.
“I have Norwegian blood,” said Jim Johnson, who dressed in full viking garb for the festival’s opening day. “Seeing all the clothing, food and setting makes it all real, and allows me to teach that to my kids. That’s special.”

Thanks for signing up.
We.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights – the main human rights body for the Americas—held a hearing in the case of Paola del Rosario Guzmán Albarracín, an Ecuadorian teenager who was sexually abused repeatedly by her school’s vice-principal for two years and later committed suicide in 2002 after discovering she was pregnant. Government representatives from Ecuador refused to attend the hearing.
Petita Albarracín, Paola’s mother, testified before the Commission, alongside representatives from the Center for Reproductive Rights, Centro Ecuatoriano para la Promoción y Acción de la Mujer (CEPAM Guayaquil) and Ximena Cortes Castillo, a psychologist and independent expert witness.
Said Catalina Martínez, Acting Regional Director for Latin America & the Caribbean at the Center for Reproductive Rights:
"Adolescents’ only concern at school should be their studies, not that they might be sexually assaulted by their teachers or principals.
"The pain and suffering Paola and her mother have endured is devastating. The Inter-American Commission must hold Ecuador accountable for failing to take action in Paola’s case and those of other adolescent survivors of sexual assault.”
Although the Ecuadorian government failed to attend the hearing, the Commission still plans to deliberate on the merits of Paola’s case after asking questions of Ms. Albarracín, Ms. Cortes Castillo, and lawyers from the Center and CEPAM. The Commission’s response in this case will determine the Ecuadorian government’s responsibility and instruct the State on the steps it should take to remedy the harm to Paola and her family, as well as necessary steps to prevent sexual violence in schools.
When Paola de Rosario Guzmán Albarracín was 16 years old, she requested academic help from her Vice-Principal who in turn told her he would assist her on the condition that she go on a date with him. This marked the start of more than a year of the Vice-President sexually harassing and abusing her. In late November 2002, Paola discovered she was pregnant, and after she told the Vice-Principal, he pressured her to undergo an illegal abortion with help from her school’s doctor, who said he’d only help her if she performed sexual favors for him.
Not knowing who else to turn to, on December 12, 2002 Paola intentionally ingested white phosphorus, a poisonous chemical, on her way to school. When her classmates discovered what happened, they took her to the school infirmary, where the same school officials who abused, harassed and intimidated her refused to get her the urgent medical care she needed, or even to notify her parents. Paola’s friends finally told her mother, who rushed Paola to a hospital, but it was too late, and she died shortly afterwards as a result.
Paola’s family charged the Vice-Principal with sexual harassment, rape, and abetting suicide—calling for disciplinary action against him and filed a civil suit. The Ecuadorian government failed to follow through with any legal action, and in 2008, after almost six years since the offense took place, the criminal court dismissed her case, leaving the crime unpunished and both the Vice-Principal, school doctor and others responsible free with impunity.
"All I want is justice, justice for my Paola,” said Petita Albarracín.
The Center and CEPAM Guayaquil filed Paola Guzmán Albarracín v. Ecuador before the Commission in September 2006, in order to hold the Ecuadorian government accountable for its failure to address sexual violence in schools and to ensure access to justice for sexual assault survivors.
Sexual violence is a form of discrimination, and a violation of human rights. One in three women worldwide are survivors of sexual violence. In Ecuador, 905 cases of sexual crimes in schools were reported between 2013 and 2014. In 2014 alone, 961 girls under the age of 14 reported being sexually abused.
Despite widespread sexual abuse in educational institutions, and under-reporting of the situation, most perpetrators are never punished. In 2013, less than 6% of reported sexual crimes were investigated in Ecuador. In this hearing, Paola’s case was addressed as well as the systematic barriers that have allowed sexual violence in educational institutions to occur.
“We continue to defend women’s fundamental human rights, so that one day we will live in a society where violence against women, adolescents and girls does not exist,” said Lita Martínez, institutional coordinator at CEPAM Guayaquil. “The misogyny and patriarchal stereotypes that have allowed sexual violence in schools to exist with impunity must stop. We need the Inter-American Commission to call on the Ecuadorian government to hold perpetrators of sexual assault accountable and to protect survivors of violence.” | https://www.reproductiverights.org/press-room/government-of-ecuador-absent-at-inter-american-commission-hearing-on-sexual-violence-in-schools | 2018-10-15T16:43:00 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Continuing/Aftercare is an essential component to long-term sobriety.
Each patient, together with their parents or guardian, will attend two discharge planning sessions. One during family week, and the other at the completion of the treatment stay. These sessions are designed to address the continuing care needs of the patient in their home community. Each youth will leave with a discharge plan and appointments to begin their aftercare program in their community.
Rimrock’s aftercare program is open to any adolescent who has recently completed treatment and is working a recovery program.

Rub the shoulder with oil and season it well with salt and pepper. Preheat your oven to a high heat, 220˚C/Gas 8. Roast the lamb for 20 mins, until golden brown all over. Reduce the heat to 150˚C/Gas 2 and add some liquid to the tray; stock and wine preferably. Cover with foil and cook gently for 4 hours, until tender. Leave to rest for 20 mins before carving. Lamb loves strong flavours, such as rosemary or anchovies, and bold spices (North African in particular). For a good gravy, roast the shoulder on a trivet of onions, carrot, celery and stock. After resting the meat, strain the liquid and skim away the worst of the fat. It can be enlivened with a dash of Worcestershire sauce and red wine vinegar.. | https://www.riverford.co.uk/lamb-whole-shoulder-2kg-avg | 2018-10-15T17:45:56 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Case citric acid); N/A
Nature of the Case and Issue(s) Presented: Ferring sought a five-year exclusivity period for Prepopik because one of its constituent drugs, sodium picosulfate, had never been approved in a NDA. The FDA denied Ferring’s request because Prepopik also included other active ingredients that had previously been approved in other drug products. The FDA subsequently changed its interpretation of the law permitting a five-year exclusivity period for fixed-combination drug products consisting of novel drug substances as well as previously approved drug substances. The FDA also determined, however, that its new interpretation did not apply retroactively. Ferring challenged the FDA’s refusal to apply the new interpretation retroactively as arbitrary and capricious. The District Court for the District of Columbia found that the FDA’s prior interpretation was reasonable, but instructed the parties to file motions for summary judgment addressing the retroactivity issue. Ferring moved for reconsideration of the district court’s finding, which the court granted.
Why Ferring Prevailed: The court granted Ferring’s request for reconsideration. To support its arguments that reconsideration should be granted, and that the FDA’s prior interpretation was arbitrary and capricious, Ferring cited to three examples in which, like Prepopik, a novel drug was included in a fixed-combination drug product with other drug substances that had previously been approved and received exclusivity. In each of those instances, like Prepopik, the FDA did not provide five-year exclusivity to the fixed-combination drug. Subsequently, when a single-entity version of the novel drug substance was approved, the substance did not receive five-year exclusivity because it had previously been approved as part of the fixed-combination drug. Effectively, under this scheme, the novel drug substance was never able to receive the benefit of five year exclusivity if the fixed-combination product was approved first. If the single entity product was approved before the fixed-combination product, however, the single entity product was entitled to five year exclusivity.
The FDA was unable to present any “legitimate reason” for why it treated the single-entity and fixed-combination products differently. Because the FDA was treating similar drugs in a dissimilar manner based only on the order of approval, the court determined that Ferring’s motion for summary judgment that it was entitled to five year exclusivity should have been granted. Thus, the FDA’s prior interpretation was arbitrary and capric. | https://www.robinskaplan.com/resources/newsletters/generically-speaking-hatch-waxman-bulletin/generically-speaking-fall-2016/ferring-v-burwell | 2018-10-15T18:16:57 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

A pleasure and a privilege to work with you
Finally, I am sitting down to thank you for our wonderful Rosy's experience. From our first meeting almost two years before the wedding, right through to the end, it was a pleasure and a privilege to work with you and your staff. There was never in all the months of long-distance planning a moment when I did not enjoy working with you, and feel I was treated, not only professionally, but with care, calmness, courtesy, and total competence. My confidence was not misplaced, as on the evening of the wedding, everything was spectacular — Rosy's looked so beautiful, inside and out, the food was absolutely delicious (I only wish I'd had time to taste everything!), and you and your staff were the best. Truly I knew I was in capable hands and was able to just enjoy the fabulous party! Of course my early concerns about the size of the crowd turned out to be unnecessary. Even in the end, when the bridesmaids' limo bus went AWOL wit hall their personal belongings inside, I asked for a phone book so I could call the company. Instead, you went into action yourself and had the situation handled and resolved in a matter of minutes! What a relief that was.
You and your staff are so much appreciated and will be hightly praised to anyone who asks about our Rosy's experience. Please feel free to refer potential clients to me and to Katie any time for an endorsement. Truly it was a legendary event we will remember with much happiness. With many thanks,
— Melissa M. | https://www.rosysjazzhall.com/archive/2017/11/9/a-pleasure-and-a-privilege-to-work-with-you | 2018-10-15T17:26:21 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini mugged by gunmen in Chile
The Chilean, 64, was traveling with the group to a restaurant on Saturday when the incident happened.
Pellegrini’s wife reportedly had her handbag snatched before the gang made off. The gunmen were later tracked down by police and became involved in a shootout, before driving off in a Porsche Cayenne which had reportedly been stolen two weeks prior to the incident. The vehicle was later found abandoned.

The West Ham boss paid tribute to Chilean police in a tweet in Spanish, thanking them for their “quick and courageous action.”
“I appreciate the support of the people. I hope you are given more powers to police and solve the issue of crime as soon as possible,” he added.) 3 June 2018
A spokesman for London club West Ham, whom the Chilean joined as manager this summer, said: "We are relieved to hear that Manuel and his wife were both unharmed."
Pellegrini won the Premier League title as boss of former club Manchester City in 2014. He has been handed the task of reviving West Ham’s fortunes, after the club finished last season in 13th place in the Premier League following a turbulent season of fan protests over the team’s performances, the running of the club, and the move to its new London Stadium home. | https://www.rt.com/sport/428673-manuel-pellegrini-mugged-chile-armed/ | 2018-10-15T17:29:26 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

This is truly a great find. This bracelet is handmade and the design is very distinctive of the Mexican jewelry culture. There are 3 stones in this cuff, 1 malachite, 1 red Carnelian and 1 Turquoise. The Sterling Silver is a hammered design and is in excellent condition. It is marked on the inside with "TC-102 Mexico Sterling". This bracelet can be worn by either a man or woman. The cuff measures 6 1/4 inches and the width is about an inch. A lot of Mexican jewelry is being melted down for scrap but we just cannot do that. We feel that each piece is a work of art and should be treated as so. With the economy the way it is today it is getting harder and harder to keep these handmade pieces from the fire. Purchase these pieces while they are still around to enjoy.

Have you heard of St. Anne's Helper?
We have Catholic resources for schools, homeschool, and converts: Audio Catechisms, Catechism Booklets, Catechism Copybooks, and coloring pages to make teaching the catechism easier..
St. Anne's Helper Audio Catechisms use the clear and concise 1950s Baltimore Catechism for First Communion, Confirmation, and other catechism related topics like the lives of the saints and the Catholic holy days.
We have the same text available for First Communion and Confirmation in printable worksheets. Each download has both manuscript and cursive so your children can practice their penmanship while they learn the truths of the faith.
We have the same information in personalizable booklets that has related pictures that the children can color. The booklets are handy for reading.
We have an abundance of Catholic coloring pages to print. We also have Catholic coloring pages to print pictures of saints and Bible stories. See our many saints coloring pages, rosary coloring pages, and seasonal coloring pages on our main coloring page.
Easy.
Review. Review is what most of us need when studying. Now you have a helper whether you are learning or teaching.
At St. Anne's Helper the material is the Catholic catechism, the questions and answers are on separate tracks and can be repeated until the answer is memorized. The exact same material is available on both audio book downloads and Catechism Copybook Ebooks - booklets with the questions and answers or copybooks for copying the catechism answers.
We also have free coloring pages to print for any time of the year!
The CDs are reusable, they are portable, and they are easy to use. The CDs and the downloads have the same information and can be used as Catholic audio books and as Catholic Ebooks. If you have an eReader, you can study the minimum knowledge necessary for the sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Confirmation.
Catechists are thrilled to be able to recommend the CDs for parents to use as review with their children; and parents are thrilled to have the tutorial help teaching their children such catechism answers as the Ten Commandments and the Catholic Prayers.
If you run a Catholic Sunday school, RCIA, or CCD class you'll love St. Anne's Helper Catholic Worksheets from our Catechism Copybooks. We also have hundreds of fun coloring pages to print! Instant busy work while you read Bible stories and stories about the Catholic saints.
First Communion (Vol. 1 Baptism - Holy Eucharist) Learn the Catholic Ten Commandments, Apostles' Creed, and Baltimore Catechism answers for First Communion as Mary reads the questions and answers for you to practice or simply listen and learn. Where the same answers are queried in the Confirmation Catechism they, have the same answers. Order our worksheets, booklets, and audio products here..
Confirmation Catechism (Vol. 2 Catholic Sacraments - Holy Trinity) Learn the main questions and answers from the Baltimore Catechism that are good to know in preparation for Confirmation as Anthony reads the questions and answers for you to practice or to simply listen and learn. Order Worksheets, booklet, and audio products here.
Many real life decisions depend on the truths of the Catholic Religion so it is good to have a short version of the basic truths memorized for future reference. Oh how frustrating it is to have different catechisms through the years and to try to undo what had been memorized previously just to get a good grade on a test.
The Catholic Church's habit has been to use the same phrases throughout a particular catechism series and to print only what was certain. We have kept this habit for your edification and ease of use. It is so much easier to learn a definition right the first time so that it is the same throughout the years.
Adults can use St. Anne's Helper for Catholic audio book "Cliff notes"!
St. Anne's Helper has Catholic catechism ideas that correspond with the Baltimore Catechism, the favorite catechism of catechists and homeschoolers.
The old Baltimore Catechism has the longest history of approval and use in the United States and it is generally sold in several booklets.
An audio Baltimore Catechism covers the Baltimore Catechism No. 1 answers, and the main Catholic prayers including the main Catholic prayers for children.
Catholic religious education and Catholic home school books abound these last years. Many more Catholic book publishing companies are writing books for Catholic homeschool and are providing many Catholic books as audio book downloads.
Catholic audio books and Catholic ebooks are easy to buy and easy to use. They've been a huge help in our family from learning the catechism, to reading the Douay-Rheims Bible along with the book, to using CDs to learn Math. There are so many more homeschool resources now that can really help make learning at home so much easier and better like Catholic homeschool worksheets and coloring pages.
There are companies who have developed wonderful Catholic homeschool curriculum including our favorites: Our Lady of Victory (OLVS), Seton Home Study School, Mother of Divine Grace, and Kolbe.
Our website is written by a Roman Catholic family that wants to share traditional Catholic treasures that help you, your students, and your children keep the faith.
One of us is a cradle Catholic, another is a grateful convert, and two have been teaching in a Dominican girls' school. We've spent time as catechists, as teachers, as parents of children in school, and as homeschooling parents.
We have slogged through many books that were called Catholic to find the best for teaching the faith. See our audio catechism story here.
When we talk to other catechists and parents we find that they would like to have supplemental help with their own Catholic Religious Education programs so that parents have resources at home, too. They would like to know the best Catholic answers to questions of the Faith in an easy and concise format, also. Many of our friends are adult converts and they, too, rejoice to find precise and concise answers in Catholic ebook or audio book format (PDF and MP3).
Catholic schools and parishes have linked to our pages as resources for their students in Catholic Religious Education. Welcome! And know that you have had our prayers for many years now, because we pray for all of our visitors past, present, and future! In your charity, please remember us in your prayers.
Catholic prison ministries, like the Blue Army, are stocking St. Anne's Helper Audio Books in their libraries for their aspirants who hope to learn the Catholic Faith, too. We ask your prayers for their success and preservation in the Catholic Faith.
See wonderful testimonials here.)
Capitalize on this right by studying the Roman Catholic Religion well.
Once your children know the basic Catholic beliefs, they can make good decisions throughout their entire lives. Add Roman Catholic Bible and saints stories as recommended by the USCCB instructions on the Catholic catechism.
Search our site from nearly any page for the ideas you need. Our pages are packed with information from the Catholic catechism so as to over-deliver!
Our Google ads help support our website and we have chosen to have them tightly filtered.

According to him, all economic parameters are recording an increase, and our country has the largest exports in the region. Moreover, the manufacturing industry recorded an increase of more than 6 %.
The most important macroeconomic problem is solving the issue of opening new workplaces, said Zvizdic, and noted that all the processes are going in a good and positive direction.
Moreover, BiH is one of the 20 countries with the highest number of tourist visits, and these parameters are the best in the territory of Canton Tuzla, according to Chairman Zvizdic.
It was also noted that the Government of the FBiH will continue with the projects of balanced development and strengthening of the economy, and it was further noted that Tuzla Canton is a champion in the employment with more than 15,000 opened new workplaces.

Chris Patten feels for Edward Leung, but would he have felt the same about rioting hooligans?
Related topics
After Hong Kong’s pro-independence activist Edward Leung Tin-kei was sentenced to six years in prison, I was expecting to hear criticisms from some quarters who believe the punishment was on the harsh side.
However, I was dumbfounded and dismayed to learn of Chris Patten’s comment: “It is disappointing to see that the legislation is now being used politically to place extreme sentences on the pan-democrats and other activists.”
That came after the jailings of Leung, a former spokesman for localist group Hong Kong Indigenous, and his co-defendant, Lo Kin-man (who got seven years), for their roles in the Mong Kok riot of early 2016.
I wonder if Patten would still feel the same way had these convicted youngsters not been young political activists but ordinary hooligans rioting on the streets.
Grenville Cross, the former director of public prosecutions, quite rightly dismissed Patten’s remarks as “ignorant and ill-informed” (“Edward Leung riot sentence: too harsh, or necessary as deterrent?”, June 11).
In my opinion, hiding behind political beliefs when breaking the law can never be condoned and should not be tolerated by society.

WHAT is Karim Rashid on? Whatever it is, I want some. The "greatest living designer in all the Americas" has created a dizzying number of products, as well as more prototypes than you can shake a stick at. That would be a plastic stick, of course, because the prolific Rashid is the poet of plastic, the prophet of polypropylene, although he sees himself as a philosopher and an artist who happens to be a designer.
This unshakeable self-belief has led to accusations of pretentiousness from some quarters, while the design dynamo himself has created a hostage to fortune by writing a sumptuously produced monograph-manifesto ambitiously entitled I Want to Change the World - and he means it. If Rashid could change the world, you would have to throw out everything you own every five years. "Every object would have to be perfectly cyclical so as not to collect waste," he explains. "Generations would not be able to pass down anything in its original form. The idea of antiquity would be a simulation."
So it’s out with the Wedgwood plates and the Chippendale chairs then? "I loathe antiques," says Rashid, whose latest book, Karim Rashid: Evolution, has just been published. In it he surveys his products and projects, which number several thousand. The book features luscious colour images of his designs for everything from soap dispensers to perfume bottles for Issey Miyake and Rashid’s own cyber-couture fashion, as well as tableware, furnishings and interiors. The text, set in sexy shapes that emulate Rashid’s logos, tells of his desire to create a world filled with "sensual minimalism".
Minimalist his designs may be, but Rashid, who is surely the world’s most industrious industrial designer, is so productive that it is difficult to work out whether more is less or less is more in his vision. In 2003 alone, he designed 324 new products that went into manufacture. Not surprisingly, he has been acclaimed as "a channeler of the zeitgeist". And it all started in 1996 when he created a wastepaper bin.
His colourful, inexpensive, sensuously shaped plastic bin - an astonishing three million of which have been sold - comes in jolly colours such as lilac or lime green and has become one of the most covetable objects sold around the world in recent years. It’s a wastepaper bin that makes you want to throw things away - if you are not using it as a vase, say, or a champagne bucket. But if you don’t own a Garbo, you will most certainly have been sitting comfortably somewhere on an Oh, his ubiquitous cheap-as-chips stackable plastic chair. These techno-organic objects - or "blobjects", as he describes them - have become instant icons since their launch in 1999.
The Rashid revolution, though, has only just begun. As the architecture and design critic Marisa Bartolucci points out, the designer is "fluent in state-of-the-art computer and manufacturing technologies and is a media-savvy sloganeer".
The whip-thin 6ft4in 44-year-old looks like a rock star or a rapper. He favours chunky bling-bling rings and his own-design silver "blob" jewellery. Indeed, in November 2003, I was at a swish party marking the launch a new homeware store on New York’s Sixth Avenue and saw Rashid being mobbed by autograph-hunters. Wearing a white leather suit, white-rimmed shades and luminous orange-and-white shoes, he was surrounded by giggling teenagers on the red carpet, while men in grey suits circled him protectively. Everyone wanted a piece of Rashid. Certainly, that evening everyone bought a piece - since he had designed a range of inexpensive funky containers for the store.
But then the radical Rashid specialises in reasonably priced objects of desire. Half-Egyptian and half-English (his late father designed sets for television shows and his teacher mother is from Yorkshire), he has won 50-odd awards for his work. Please don’t ask what a sensual minimalist does with the inevitable dust-gathering trophies that accompany all those glittering prizes. "It’s time the trophy thing changed," he says. "It’s kitsch." They are functionless things, and Rashid prefers his objects to have form and function.
"I’ve lost count of exactly how many things I’ve designed now," he admits when we meet in his Chelsea studio in downtown New York, which he shares with his team of a dozen designers. Dazzling white, with rainbow-hued metallic and plastic furniture and shelves full of his neon-coloured designs (including those iconic Issey Miyake perfume bottles and his shapely containers for homely washing-up liquid), the studio has a meeting room where we sit on orange and turquoise plastic chairs at a lime-green glass table.
He lives in a large loft above the studio with his wife, the digital painter Megan Lang. The couple, who married in 1995, sport matching tattoos based on the recurring vocabulary of symbols he uses in his work, such as the plus sign for love. Theirs is a "perfect" marriage, he confides - and the foxy Lang can be found looking model-girl glamorous, reclining with her husband, across various curvaceous sofas in Evolution. In some of their publicity shots, she wears only that tattoo and crimson lipstick.
Toweringly tall, trendily attired and with close-cropped hair, his zippy orange leather boots complementing his orange plastic watch, Rashid dresses only in pristine white, and has a penchant for the French designer Alain Mikli’s outr square-shaped spectacles. At the end of 1999, to mark the new millennium, Rashid gave his 30 black designer-label suits to a charity shop in the city; black was the past, white the future. He says that he and Lang live their lives forwards, not backwards, hence his inability to remember his many achievements - although his website and 15-page CV will reveal all, he points out modestly as he sips a glass of water.
The softly spoken Rashid (who is currently working on his first UK commissions - a hotel in Brighton and another in London’s Paddington, for the MyHotel boutique chain) has a go at recalling the flood of design objects, furniture, homeware, fashion and art he has unleashed on the world since establishing Karim Rashid Inc and becoming New York’s answer to Philippe Starck.
The list includes watches, trainers, throwaway cigarette lighters, packaging for Prada’s unique disposable daily cosmetics range, ashtrays, plastic pens, salt and pepper shakers, board games, a cremation urn, kettles, snow shovels, mobile phones, phone boxes, shoes, glassware, portable computers, mail boxes, spectacles, and a rubber chess set that was bought by 23,000 people in just six weeks, as well as fabulously futuristic furniture and organically shaped interiors for up-market restaurants. He has just finished work on a new hotel in Athens, the Semiramis, of which he is immensely proud.
There’s more, much more, but suffice it to say his clients include Este Lauder, Giorgio Armani, Alessi, Maybelline (he once offered them 20 designs for one lipstick case), Ralph Lauren, Sony, Tommy Hilfiger, Davidoff, YSL, Umbra, Yahoo and Black & Decker. He designed astonishing millennial manhole covers for Con Edison, and in Manhattan you can actually walk all over Rashid. "I don’t want to specialise," he says decisively. "And anyway, I work like a maniac; I have a tendency to do way too much. I always do six things at once, which means I’m never bored."
Cairo-born, but raised and educated in Canada, he has no truck with nostalgia and loathes the current mania for retro style. "I’m kind of sick of the past. The here-and-now is all we’ve got," he says, speaking at a rate that befits someone who rarely sleeps more than a few hours a night.
"We’re living in a time of disposability. What that means is you can perpetually have newness, you can change with the times and stay technologically on top, which is why I want to shape the future of the world."
But does our beleaguered planet need more plastic things? "I’ve heard that question a lot," replies Rashid. "The reality is that we need to use the materials that are around today. Plastic has revolutionised history. Our bodies can be replaced - 68% of our parts can be replaced with polymers and plastic. I just want to bring people up to speed. We should live for today. That’s why I say for everything you buy, give away another thing, so you stay at equilibrium and never consume more than you need. Consume experiences, not things - accomplish addition by subtraction. That’s what I say to the environmentalists.
So, in Rashid’s "rave new world", every product manufactured would replace three others. Multifunctionality is the dominant theme of his work. "Of course I care about the environment," he says. "I think that in the future we will have many more products and experiences, but we will own nothing. Everything will be cyclical, sustainable, biodegradable and seamless. The idea of permanence will be obsolete in everything from architecture to commodities. I look forward to the day when everything will be immaterial - when even great sex will be virtual."
Achieving his plan means Rashid has to juggle more than 40 projects at once. He is currently designing furniture and lighting for a dozen prestigious companies. He is also working on a plastic-covered bicycle, some avant-garde television sets, a range of glassware, interiors for restaurants in New York, Moscow and Mexico, and he has just opened his own shop a few blocks from his studio, on West 19th Street.
It’s like walking into a big jar of boiled sweets. Here he sells his own designs for everything from sinuous glass vases to those famous "bits and blobs" of plastic, from chairs to ball-point pens. There’s also a customised clothing collection promised, which will be sold on the internet, and in the future he’ll be designing carpets, toys, baths and toilets for a German company, as well as street furniture for Japan. And then there are the two CDs: Rashid composes ambient music, and in his spare time - which he surely hasn’t got much of - he DJs around the New York club scene. According to his website, you can hire him for parties. He has also created numerous art objects and has had three shows of his work in New York - an acclaimed exhibition of one-off prototypes at the Sandra Gering Gallery in Chelsea closed only last month.
Rashid’s plan for world domination includes changing the way we look at hotel living, so he’s interested in presenting a sensibility that is more human, more original and less "boutiquey" in MyPad and MyBright, as he refers to the two British projects. Sci-fi electronic check-ins, the use of digital fingerprints to open doors instead of keys, fully automated bathrooms and lighting that is controlled by voice recognition are all being considered for his hotels of the future. He is rethinking everything about the hotel experience, from the lighting to the sound our feet make as we cross the lobby. "Staying in a hotel should make people think about their own homes. I want guests to go away relaxed, but thinking how boring and banal their own surroundings are."
THE YOUNG Karim Rashid grew up in Canada in surroundings that were anything but banal and boring. He and his older brother and younger sister were raised on the idea of sensuous minimalism. Every Sunday his father, Mahmoud, used to move the furniture around in their house. "Sometimes he would cut a hole in a wall to change the vista in a room. Now I like to relax by rearranging the furniture in our loft, so I guess I’m my father’s son, which is my proudest claim."
Rashid has been called "the prophet of a new and better way of life", and, as Marisa Bartolucci has written, it would be difficult to genetically engineer someone more suited to such a destiny. His parents met as art students in Rome, and married while completing their studies in Paris. After living for some years in Rome and then London, they moved to Toronto, where Mahmoud became a set designer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It was a close family, always open to change. In addition to reconfiguring the furniture, Mahmoud would draw a pattern and sew a new dress for his wife, Joyce, every Sunday evening.
Inevitably, the young Karim, who was "shy and introverted", wanted to become a fashion designer, although he was also a belting ice-hockey player. In high school, he became a DJ and graduated wearing a home-made pink satin suit. He had custom-made white leather boots that were "more outrageous than anything Kiss ever wore", dyed his hair pink and painted his fingernails to match.
The rag trade is in his genes anyway - his maternal grandfather was a founder of Ian R England, the venerable Yorkshire textile firm famous for its worsted wool.
At Carleton University, in Ottowa, Rashid studied industrial design. "Having been brought up as a painter, I kept wondering where the poetry was," he recalls. He felt that design should be intensely personal, but such views were not popular and he almost didn’t get his degree. After graduating, he spent six months in Naples studying with two of the "deities of modern design", Ettore Sottsass and Gaetano Pesce.
On his return, he began working for companies such as Black & Decker and Samsung. His innovative proposals included a kettle made from coloured, clear-tint polypropylene, which was greeted with blank stares. Ten years later, Apple used the same plastic casing for its iMac. In 1985 he and two architect friends founded a fashion company which wound down within a few years. In the late 1980s he began teaching, and in 1991 became an assistant professor at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. His contract was terminated after a year. "Design is taught as if it’s about ‘making’," he says. "I don’t think design has anything to do with making. I wanted my students to think about issues concerning phenomenology, anthropology, commodity."
At the school, despite meeting, falling in love with and marrying Megan Lane, he was miserable. "I wanted to leave the profession," he says. "I was really fed up."
Today there may be more than 70 pieces of his work in the permanent collections of 14 museums around the world, but after his unhappy Rhode Island Design School experience Rashid was so broke and depressed that he was sleeping on his brother Hani’s floor in Manhattan.
Hani, whose own company has been at the cutting edge of computer-generated architecture, encouraged his brother to set up a design studio in New York. After six weeks with him, Rashid rented an apartment. It had neither a kitchen nor a shower. His studio consisted of a mattress and a Mac computer. He lost 30lbs, surviving on a diet of corn and pasta. He became very ill and intellectually lonely. "It was hard; I was penniless. But I persevered," he says.
He pitched ideas to more than 100 companies, targeting up-market European manufacturers, as well as "some really awful icons of American manufacturing". Only one company responded, Namb, a little tableware company in Santa Fe. Rashid "elongated, squashed and skewed" the company’s classic modern forms into technomorphic shapes and proposed 100 new designs, of which 33 went into production.
Throughout the early 1990s, he also bombarded the Canadian housewares company Umbra with his designs. They rejected everything - "but I kept going". Eventually, he proposed some inexpensive wastepaper bins with handles in translucent, acid-pastel-hued virgin polypropylene. Umbra liked them. A focus group least liked the Garbo, with its swooping rim. It was Rashid’s favourite, however, and Umbra’s executives put it into production. The rest, as they say, is industrial design history.
One of the secrets of Rashid’s success, he says, is his ability to edit his life. If he acquires something new for his home, he always gives away a similar object. "I do not want to live in a regressive environment," he says. "I have no ambition to be associated with the past at all. The past is pointless." In any case, he adds, all material goods are somehow transient. "My life experience is much more important to me."
The oldest thing in his loft is a Rosenthal vase from 1951 and he has a couple of vintage Bang & Olufsen stereos dating from the late 1960s and 1970s. He owns a few Memphis pieces and Sottsass’s iconic penis vase; otherwise, everything is his own design.
"I really am interested in everyday things, the banal stuff that costs only a few bucks. I think design has never been in that market. But just because people have very little money, they shouldn’t have to put up with bad products."
If, heaven forbid, his home and studio were to go up in flames, after his beloved wife what would he save? "Oh, the hard drive on my computer," he quickly replies.
"My life is on there. With that I could become smart, creative, organised and rich again. I’ll always work. I love it, and I love multi-tasking - laziness is the Antichrist." n

God Commands Us To Enjoy The Greatest Pleasure!
Contributed by Efren V. Narido on May 3, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: Our OWN idea of pleasure could be loving the self, money, or being proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, that in the last days, there will be terrible times – not just because of earthquakes, tidal waves, super typhoons, etc, but because of people -- people who are not lovers of the good, who are not lovers of God! They are “lovers of pleasure”!
Does it mean if we love God, we will not enjoy pleasure? Or, we have to make a choice: either enjoy God, or enjoy pleasure? And we can only have pleasure in ourselves, money, being boastful, abusive, etc., etc.?
God’s Word explains it further in.”
We also read in 2 Peter 2:12-13, …”
Now, what is also our own idea of pleasure?
Our OWN idea of pleasure could be loving the self, money, or being proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited and other pleasures of sin – finding great joy NOT in God!
But God is the Greatest Pleasure. We read in Psalm 43:4, “Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise your with the harp, O God, my God.”
We read it in English Standard Version: “Then I will go to the altar of God, to God MY EXCEEDING JOY…”
And He wants His children to find enjoyment in Him. In fact, He commanded them:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind” (Luke 10:27).
We also read in Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself in the LORD…”
1 Chronicles 16:10-11 states, “Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.”
In Psalm 32:11, we read: “Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!”
And Paul wrote in Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”
Yes, He wants His children to enjoy the GREATEST pleasure. So, He commanded them to delight, to rejoice with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind in HIM! To rejoice in Him always!
Finding other pleasures apart from Him is the greatest sin we can commit.
Besides, aside from His command, there are at least five reasons why we need to find our pleasure in Him.
First, let’s go back to Hebrews 11:25, “He (Moses) chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a short time.” Our own pleasure no matter how “ideal” we conceive it, or whatever enjoyment we can have in this world is only “for a short time.”
But God’s pleasure is ETERNAL. We read, “You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand” (Ps. 16:11).
Second, let’s read.”
The pleasures of sin “choked” us and prevented our maturity. But God’s pleasure motivates us to persevere and GROW.
Third, consider theses things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.”

LOS ANGELES – Cold northern winds lashed Southern California on Thursday with fierce gusts that toppled trees and knocked out power to thousands, while runoff from a departing storm system forced people to leave their homes in a San Joaquin Valley farm town.
One gust in northwestern Los Angeles County was clocked at 94 mph, with others exceeding 50 mph in some mountains and canyons.
The winds and cold air mass moved in behind a powerful storm that swept through Tuesday and Wednesday, following storms last week that waterlogged parts of the state..
The Coast Guard was considering calling.
High wind warnings were in effect through Thursday morning in some valleys. Gale warnings and high surf advisories were issued for the coasts.
The winds knocked trees onto cars in the Los Angeles area, and more than 35,000 Southern California Edison and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power customers were without electricity early Thursday.
Branches from one giant falling tree hit Greg Mora’s car as he drove through the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles.
“The next thing I knew, I opened my eyes, and there was a tree right in my face,” Mora, who suffered a gashed forehead, told KTLA-TV. “It was scary. It was really scary.”
Another tree cracked the windshield of a moving SUV in the Pacific Palisades area.
Driver Jared Risman told KTLA-TV that the car in front of him swerved, and seconds later, a tree hit his vehicle.
Risman said he was lucky that he was not moving faster.
“I drive so slow, snails laugh at me. Grandmothers laugh at me. And because I drive so slow, it saved my life,” he said.
In Northern California, winds and rain were blamed for toppling a 100-foot oak tree that crashed onto a tent and killed a woman camping Tuesday at a wildlife preserve in Sonoma County.
The storm also made roads treacherous with downed trees, ice and snow. Three people were hurt Wednesday night when three big-rigs, a pickup and an SUV wrecked on State Route 138 in the Gorman area, where black ice was reported, the California Highway Patrol said. One big-rig jackknifed and was struck by a second, the third slid into a fence, and the SUV collided with a pickup driven by a fire captain responding to the accident.
The region, however, escaped widespread problems in the two-day round of foul weather, and communities east and south of Los Angeles that were hit hard by runoff from storms last week were able to focus on cleaning up without new damage.
Rain was lighter than expected in Highland in San Bernardino County, where 50 homes remain evacuated after being swamped by a pre-Christmas mud flow. More than 100,000 sandbags had been used to build walls to keep more muck out of the community.
“All the drains are working, no flooding, no new mudslides,” police Lt. Jason Kravetz said. “We’ll go back to clean up.”
Also Wednesday, Acting Gov. Abel Maldonado asked President Barack Obama for a major disaster declaration for the state. Maldonado said the damage wrought by 10 days of bruising storms was too much for state and local governments to handle. He also added Mariposa to a dozen other counties where emergencies have been declared.
In the snow-laden Sierra Nevada, Placer County search teams found the body of a woman who went missing while snowboarding at a Lake Tahoe-area resort, sheriff’s Capt. Jeff Ausnow said. Shawnte Marie Willis, 25, became separated from friends Tuesday at Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. Bad weather had hindered the search.
Among road problems left by the storm, Highway 1 was closed at points along the coast due to flooding or rock slides Wednesday. A slide kept one closure in effect Thursday northwest of the Los Angeles County line.
The same storm system prompted a blizzard warning through Thursday night for mountainous areas of eastern Arizona, while rain drenched the lower desert Wednesday, causing dozens of drivers to slide off slippery highways.

T.J. Dillashaw maintains his bantamweight belt with win over Renan Barão in Chicago
“You go in there with the feeling that you can’t lose. You’re on top of the world.”
That was T.J. Dillashaw talking about confidence, specifically the confidence that accompanies a fighter into the UFC octagon when he enters as a champion. It was Dillashaw’s state of mind on Saturday night when he defended his bantamweight belt in the main event of a UFC on Fox fight card at the United Center in Chicago, and that’ll be his head space the next time he fights, too, as the champ stopped Renan Barão via fourth-round TKO to retain the strap he’s worn for 14 months.
That Dillashaw (12–2) was walking into the cage to face Barão (33–3, 1 NC) only boosted his sky-rocketing self-belief, since it was the Brazilian whom he beat last year to become champion. On that night in May 2014, the Californian was an underdog by as much as 12–1 to Barão, who hadn’t lost in nearly a decade. But Dillashaw floored him late in the first round and beat him to the punch the rest of the way before scoring a fifth-round stoppage.
Going into this rematch, that first meeting was open to multiple interpretations. Is Dillashaw really that much faster, stronger and more explosive than Barão, as their first dance seemed to suggest? Or had that concussive right hand in Round 1 turned a killer of a champ into damaged prey?
On Saturday night, it was obvious from the get-go what Dillashaw believed. He believed in himself. He believed he was the better man. He believed that Barão had nothing for him.
He was right.
#
The ex-champ did have his moments in a close first round, landing some crisp knees to the body. But whatever confidence Barão brought into the cage seemed to dissipate once he realized that Dillashaw wasn’t dancing this time. In the first meeting, the then-challenger had used quickness and purposeful footwork to evade the Brazilian’s offense while moving himself into various angles of attack. There was a little of this in the rematch, but for the most part Dillashaw stood in front of Barão, generally in a southpaw stance, and peppered him with punches that often went unanswered.
Beforehand, Barão had talked about how the one big early punch in the first fight had put him “on autopilot” the rest of the way and had let it be known that it wasn’t the real him who lost to Dillashaw that night. Well, the rematch saw no single haymaker change the course of the fight. Dillashaw simply beat down Barão in both body and spirit, ruthlessly and relentlessly.
• UFC on FOX 16 results: Miesha Tate def. Jessica Eye
The fight was barely two rounds old when Barão began fading, while Dillashaw looked like he could have gone 15 rounds, not merely the required five. Where was the Barão who’d twice beaten Dillashaw’s mentor and training partner, Urijah Faber, and had looked like a terror against other top contenders? The combat sports adage that “styles make fights” was on full display as Dillashaw picked apart a man who not long ago was in pound-for-pound top 10s and was considered one of the sport’s most fearsome strikers.
Barão was flagging late in the third round when Dillashaw trapped him near the cage and unloaded a blitz of fists and elbows until the horn sounded. The champ turned and briskly walked to his corner, while the challenger appeared a bit tipsy as he made his way to his stool. It seemed like just a matter of time.
Dillashaw, to his credit, didn’t take his foot off the gas. Round 4 was just 19 seconds old when he landed a flailing left hook that pushed Barão back against the cage. What followed was a blinding finishing flurry, as Dillashaw unleashed over 30 punches in mere seconds and landed all but a half-dozen. The beaten-down challenger sagged defenselessly in the face of the onslaught until referee Herb Dean jumped in at the 4:28 mark. The official time of the TKO was 35 seconds of the fourth round.
• Renan Barão ‘sad’ to watch first T.J. Dillashaw fight
Barão shook his head at the stoppage. He never went down and wanted to keep going, but there was no fight left in him.
Where does Barão go from here? Where does Dillashaw?
The Brazilian might well be headed to the featherweight division, considering how he’s struggled to make 135 pounds. But while he looked slow against Dillashaw, he could be overpowered by 145-pounders. Then again, maybe he just matches up badly with the champ, and against everyone else he will still be the cage assassin we saw in him for years. Or perhaps losing for the first time in nine years, and losing badly, then losing badly again, has sapped the man of that championship-level confidence that once drove him.
As for Dillashaw, the next time we see that irresistible confidence oozing out of him, wouldn’t it be great if, at the time, he was standing in the cage staring across at Dominick Cruz? “The Dominator” knows a thing or two about the confidence of a champion. He’s an ex-champ not because somebody beat him for the belt but because it was stripped away from him in January following three years of inactivity, healing from multiple knee surgeries. Cruz says he’s nearly ready to go and was on Twitter before Saturday’s fight, stalking both Dillashaw and Barão.
Dillashaw took note of this, and after his big win he set his sights on another go with a former champ.
“As long as he stays healthy,” said the champ. “I don’t know if he can.” | https://www.si.com/mma/2015/07/26/tj-dillashaw-defeats-renan-barao-ufc-fox-bantamweight | 2018-10-15T18:25:22 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

2013…A Successful Year Of Price-Suppression (Part II)
Part I of this series ended with some rather ominous questions. Most of those questions tied-in to the chart below, and what it signified in both practical and statistical terms:
Here readers see a picture which is markedly different from the parameters we know to exist with (for example) precious metals. With gold and silver; we have two commodities where production is (now) falling, and inventories are (already) near-zero. It’s easily understandable why these commodities are already at a crisis-point in terms of basic supply/demand analysis.
It is much less-easy to understand why the chart above also represents a looming crisis. This is due in large part to the obvious/unequivocal importance of food production. Because food (self) sufficiency is a key policy objective of almost every nation; their reactions to the food-crisis looming ahead of us have coloured this data – and thus (somewhat) hidden the underlying problems.
It’s also important to point out another premise of simple logic. Because food-production (and sufficiency) will always remain a top priority; in the attempts to ward-off a near-term food catastrophe we could (will) see our governments simply trigger a different form of economic cataclysm – hyperinflation – which will also lead to mass hunger/starvation, but simply in a less-direct route.
Here it is necessary to itemize the causal links in this (inevitable) chain. To do so; we start by simply looking at the current trend which the chart above indicates unequivocally: the ratio of inventories to supply/demand is falling – and at a rapid rate. While this does not appear close to any crisis-point (at present); we can understand that the continuation of this trend will (at some point) take us to parameters which will look very similar to what we see in precious metals today.
So how/why does this trend represent an immediate – and enormous – problem? This is where it is necessary to add all of the additional, necessary economic/financial context to make the answer to this question self-evident. In the most general terms; what is the root problem leading to inventory-destruction in all commodity markets (especially precious metals)?
The answer to that question (as readers have heard again and again) is that all of these commodities are being grossly “under-priced” – meaning producers are being severely under-paid. However; those readers who have not absorbed much/most of my previous commentaries may not fully comprehend the magnitude of this under-pricing.
It is not simply an issue of the nominal prices being paid to producers in our world of fiat-paper currencies. Rather; the primary ingredient of this under-pricing (at this advanced stage of economic decay) is that most/all of these paper currencies are either worthless or near-worthless – especially the U.S. dollar, the “reserve currency”, and thus (for the moment) primary currency of international trade.
It’s not that producers today are simply being somewhat under-paid for the valuable commodities which they produce (whether renewable or non-renewable). Rather; the problem is that in reality they are not being paid at all. Since Nixon assassinated the last vestige of the gold standard in 1971, our world of paper-currencies has been nothing (in economic terms) other than a world of sovereign “IOU’s” – the only mathematical/logical basis upon which we could assign any value (at all) to this paper.
However; (since the Crash of ’08) most of this debauched Western paper is now being created in the form of “quantitative easing”. Our currencies have literally been transformed from “IOU’s” to “I-owe-you-nothing”. The world of “QE” is nothing more than a world where (sovereign) Deadbeats pretend to pay their bills – for all of their debts/purchases – with an endless series of bad-cheques. It is a Ponzi-scheme financial system which has already been taken (thanks to the One Bank) to an absurd extreme.
Producers of all or our commodities now never receive anything for their time, effort, and financial investment for that production other than one bad-cheque after another. It is not merely logical that we would see inventory-destruction across (nearly) the entire spectrum of commodities – it was/is inevitable. The only reason this Ponzi-system hasn’t already imploded is due to the success of these Financial Liars (and their servants in government/media) in duping the masses into believing that these bad-cheques are actually “money”.
Hyperinflation is (always) ultimately a “confidence event” (as is the case with any “con”). What does this mean? It means that in every hyperinflation event in human history; the particular currency in question had already become actually/economically worthless long before awareness of that fact triggered ultimate hyperinflation. The Liars in power are always able to extend their financial system Ponzi-scheme for several years after their fraud-currencies are actually worthless.
We began our countdown in 2008, when the One Bank deliberately triggered the Crash of ’08, plundering Western governments for $10’s of trillions in present/future hand-outs, as the pay-off in its “too-big-to-fail” blackmail. That rendered all Western nations totally insolvent, ushered in the (ultra-fraudulent) era of “QE” – and unequivocally rendered the U.S. dollar worthless.
Since that time; the governments of Europe and Canada have been coerced (or simply chose) to also transform their own financial systems into totally insolvent Ponzi-schemes – with now-worthless currencies, as one of the results. In the case of Canada; which had (by far) the strongest financial system in the world the day Stephen Harper’s Conservatives took power, this took a lot of “work” (i.e. sabotage).
So the producers of all of our key, agricultural products are (in reality) being paid nothing for the goods they produce. This is, in fact, one of the key mechanisms employed by the One Bank for stealing all of the world’s wealth: taking the goods-production of all legitimate/businesses sectors, and then handing these good-producers worthless paper in exchange for their valuable goods.
But to this point, we have only seen how the One Bank has created a causal chain of fraud/theft/economic suicide on the supply-side of the equation. Before outlining the (suicidal) desperation measures which our Puppet Governments have adopted to ward-off implosion (as they assist the One Bank with its raping/pillaging), we need to also look at the other side of this “equation”: demand.
It is necessary to explain how/why the vicious, downward circle of deteriorating supply and vanishing inventories must also be accompanied by a continued upward spiral in global food demand. This is one of the unintended consequences of yet another of the One Bank’s economic mega-crimes: globalization.
In many ways; discussing/describing the Western economic suicide (and wealth-piracy) represented by the euphemism of “globalization” is even more complex than explaining the mega-crimes committed by the One Bank in our (deliberately incomprehensible) financial system. This is because globalization directly impacts most members of the human race; while the financial crimes of the One Bank tend to impact us more indirectly.
This larger and more-immediate “impact” (i.e. destruction in our standard of living) of globalization means that the spin-off consequences are also larger/more-numerous – making analysis of this different form of economic rape more difficult to convey. It will require a third-part conclusion to this series to provide a brief summary of the evils of “globalization”, and then to tie that in with the (suicidal) desperation measures being undertaken by our governments to delay immediate catastrophe.
Once that is done; readers will have a relatively complete picture of this paradigm of price-suppression, and yet another one of the incomprehensibly enormous economic Time-Bombs created by the One Bank. The failure of both Western citizens and their governments to prevent the total rape-and-destruction of Western economies will be multiplied if we do not ensure that this legacy of the One Bank is also its epitaph.. | https://www.silver-phoenix500.com/article/2013%E2%80%A6a-successful-year-price-suppression-part-ii | 2018-10-15T18:05:47 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Giving. It’s what I do. I’m thankful to serve you. Always.
On September 29th, 2018 (a little under one week ago), this blog celebrated its 15th anniversary. It’s hard to believe that for over fifteen years, I have done my best to make you better at work. This strange intersection of business, consumers and technology is one that continues to evolve, and I consider it a true honor to serve this community with articles, podcasts and bits of information that (hopefully) help you delta in your professional career. What does that look like? Close to 6000 pieces of content, over 630 weekly podcasts, countless articles and contributions to other media outlets. Personally, I feel like I still know very little/nothing. I use these spaces to be curious, ask questions, distill complex ideas into something manageable and to think out loud.
I’ve made a ton of friends. We have built a great community.
I have seen people who started out their careers by reading the words here (or listening to the podcast), and now they have become industry – healthy, and back home where she belongs: with her family and friends. She is still help. Next week, I will taking part in the Light The Night fundraising campaign. The walk will take place on Saturday, October 13th. Our team, Leah’s Helpers, has raised a lot money over the years, and we have been one of the most prolific teams in the history of the walk.
I am asking you to help me support this noble cause.
I do my best to put out lots of content every week. This isn’t about me raising money. It’s about our kids and the randomness and cruelty that is leukemia and because none of us are safe.

Good Day
I am trying to find out a little (ok actually a lot more) about the QCTO structures that will be in place soon – could anyone please advise m as to who i could contact for assistance as unfortunately i have already learnt the hard way with SETA.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Don
Thanks very much for your reply.
I recommend the QCTO Introduction document published by the Department of Labour as a starting reference point. This is available at the following website link:
Further information may be obtained from websites by doing a Google search on QCTO. Hope this is of some help. | https://www.skills-universe.com/2010/03/10/qcto-2/ | 2018-10-15T18:13:14 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
The Companies Bill, 2012
The Companies Act, 1956, the
Indian law governing companies
has been in force for about fiftysix
years and it has seen several
amendments over these years. In
view of the pace of changes in
national and international
economic environment and the
expansion and growth of Indian
economy, a new legislation had
become the need of the hour.
The process of substituting the
existing legislation with a new
one started way back in 2009 and
finally, the Companies Bill, 2012
(Bills) has been passed in the Lok
Sabha (lower house of the Indian
Parliament) on 18th December,
2012. This alert covers the key
changes brought out in new
legislation which are relevant
from a practical viewpoint:
Incorporation of Companies
Share Capital and Dividend
Provisions relating to Accounts and Audit:
Financial Statements and Board’s Report
Auditors
Accounting
Accounting and Auditing Standards
Other Audits
Corporate Social Responsibility
Provisions relating to Directors:
Appointment and Qualification
Maximum number of Directorships
Board Meetings
Independent Directors
Appointment of Key Management Personnel
Overall Managerial Remuneration - Public Companies
Insider Trading and Allied Provisions
General
SKP’s Comments
It is pertinent to note that the Bill still awaits approval of the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of the Indian Parliament) and therefore the possibility of subsequent changes cannot be ruled out. Subsequent to this approval, the Bill would then need an assent from the President of India before it gets notified as an enforceable. | https://www.skpgroup.com/newsletters/business-alerts/skp-business-alert-4-10-Companies-Bill-2012-Salient-Provisions.html | 2018-10-15T16:39:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Those grumpy grunts and groans that you hear from your significant other when the alarm goes off each morning are clear signs that he or she isn’t getting enough sleep. That’s bad news for you (since no one wants to wake up to a cranky husband or wife!) and bad news for your other half.
Not only is sleep deprivation linked to obesity, heart disease, and other health issues, but it may also reduce productivity at work. In addition, lack of sleep negatively affects the area of the brain that’s responsible for creativity.
While there are plenty of steps that your spouse can take to achieve sounder shuteye (such as exercising more and establishing an earlier bedtime, to name a couple), you can help, as well. And why wouldn’t you? If your partner is sleeping well, chances are you’ll sleep better, too! Try out these tricks tonight.
Put an End to Snoring. Snorers, listen up: Spouses of people who snore are woken up (even just partially) as many as 21 times an hour during the night. If you snore, then it’s no wonder that your sweetie is sleepy! To silence the noise, try sleeping on your side. This prevents your tongue from collapsing onto the back of your throat, so it doesn’t obstruct breathing and create a snoring sound.
If your snoring is especially heavy or your spouse can hear that you stop breathing momentarily during the night, talk to your doctor to rule out sleep apnea. Luckily, oral appliances (which look similar to retainers) may sometimes be used to treat sleep apnea, eliminating the need for the bulky, awkward—and often noisy—CPAP machines.
Get a New Mattress. If you roll over or get up to use the bathroom during the night, your tossing and turning may awaken your significant other. The fix is a mattress that helps absorb movement, such as memory foam or individually pocketed coils. This helps your mattress contain motion to your side of the bed, so that your partner’s sleep isn’t disturbed.
Maintain a Tidy Room. Strange but true: Spending a few minutes picking clothes off the floor and making the bed could benefit your spouse, since a clean bedtime environment can help encourage sounder sleep. If you want to earn extra brownie points, spritz the room or pillows with a lavender fragrance, because that scent has been shown to help people fall asleep faster and wake up less frequently during the night.
Keep Work Out of The Bedroom. You’re not the only one annoyed when your cell buzzes late at night with yet another email from your boss. Your significant other is probably frustrated by the disturbance, too. And it’s not just the noise that is interrupting his or her sleep: The blue light that cellphones, laptops, and tablets emit may actually disrupt your circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall back asleep. So turn off your phone at night and limit bedroom activity to sleep and sex. That way, you’ll both be happier and well-rested! | https://www.sleep.org/articles/how-to-help-your-partner-get-more-sleep/ | 2018-10-15T18:09:21 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Hatch Green Chile Cheeseburger
The perfect cheeseburger! Reverse seared and piled high with onions, melted cheese, and freshly smoked hatch chiles!
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 pound Snake River Farms Wagyu Beef Burger Patties
- 1 pound Hatch Green Chiles
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 ounces Monterey Jack Cheese
- 4 ounces Cheddar Cheese
- Hamburger Buns
- Sliced Tomato
- Lettuce
- Condiments
Instructions
- When you're ready to get started get your smoker going and set the temp to around 375-400 degrees.
Place the chiles directly on the grill rack, and let them smoke for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and flip every five minutes to get even charring.
- About halfway through you'll start to see them puff up and then char, this is good!
- Once they've been thoroughly charred remove them from the smoker and place them in a large bowl that you can cover.
Keep the chiles in the covered bowl for about 15 minutes to let them steam. This will make it easy to pull the skins off and expose that tasty green chile flesh you're hoping for.
- While the chiles are steaming, place your burgers on the grill and smoke them for 45 minutes to an hour.
- After the green chiles have steamed, peel away the skin, and deseed the peppers.
- Dice up the green chile you'll be using for the burgers, and mix in a little bit of minced garlic.
After the burgers have smoked for at least 45 minutes turn the heat up to high and cook them for an additional 3 to 4 minutes per side
When the burgers are getting close to done, pile on some cooked onion slices, and a combination of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses. (Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temp - medium rare is 145 degrees)
- Place each burger on a bun, pile on the green chiles, and any other fixings you want (I added tomato, and butter lettuce to mine) and then dig in!! | https://www.smokedmeatsunday.com/hatch-chile-season/ | 2018-10-15T17:45:09 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

3 Ways to Grow Your Audience on Snapchat
Do you want more followers on Snapchat?
Are you taking advantage of every connection option?
Using the right tools to their fullest potential will grow your following and increase the chances that others will discover your Snapchat profile.
In this article, you’ll discover three ways to grow your audience on Snapchat.

#1: Make an In-Person Connection
The easiest way to get people to follow you on Snapchat is when you’re with them in person, where it’s simple to share your username (and make sure you’ve spelled it correctly) or your snapcode.
Add by Username
If you want to add someone by username, open Snapchat and tap Add Friends.
To add a Snapchat user, start by tapping Add Friends.
Then tap Add by Username.
Tap Add by Username.
Finally, type in the username (“johnleedumas,” for example) and tap the plus sign.
Type in the person’s username.
Add by Snapcode
An increasingly popular way to add people to your Snapchat is to give them your snapcode. You’ll find your unique snapcode on your home screen. Someone can take a picture of your code with their phone and then easily add you, and vice versa.
Snapcodes are unique to each Snapchat user.
To add people by snapcode, first you take a picture of their snapcode with your phone. Then open Snapchat and tap Add by Snapcode.
Tap Add by Snapcode.
Next, tap the snapcode of the person on your camera roll.
Tap the snapcode of the person you’re adding.
Finally, tap Add Friend.
Tap Add Friend.
Another cool feature of snapcodes is that you can simply open Snapchat, point your camera at your friend’s snapcode, and tap and hold the snapcode. This will automatically add that person.
Point your camera at your friend’s snapcode and then press and hold the snapcode to add him or her.
#2: Post Your Snaplink on Your Social Channels
Leveraging other social platforms is another great way to increase your Snapchat following. You can share your username and snapcode like in step 1; however, the easiest way for someone to add you on Snapchat is online with your snaplink.
Similar to unique snapcodes, everyone has an individual snaplink. You can share your personal snaplink on other social platforms, and even in your emails to your audience.
To create your personal snaplink, simply type snapchat.com/add/ and then your username (for example, snapchat.com/add/johnleedumas).
Snaplinks are powerful, because you can simply tap on someone’s snaplink on your smartphone, and the Snapchat app will automatically open and add that person.
Share your snaplink on your other social channels.
No other steps are required and there’s no username to memorize.
#3: Engage With Users on GhostCodes
GhostCodes can help you grow your Snapchat following even faster. The app makes it easy for people with similar interests to find one another without requiring a previous connection outside of Snapchat.
Think of GhostCodes as a phonebook for Snapchat. You create a profile on the app and upload your snapcode so others can add you on Snapchat. You can also browse the app’s directory to follow other Snapchat users based on categories that interest you.
How’s how to get started with GhostCodes.
Set Up Your Profile
First, download the GhostCodes app from the App Store or Google Play. Then open the app and create your account. Fill in your personal information, including your Snapchat username and a brief bio.
You’ll need to create an account on GhostCodes.
Next, you’re prompted to add your snapcode.
After filling out your bio, you’re prompted to add your snapcode.
To do this, open Snapchat and tap on the little ghost icon to see your snapcode. Then take a screenshot of it. (On iOS, press and hold the Home and power buttons simultaneously. On Android, press and hold the Home and volume-down buttons simultaneously.)
Next, go back to GhostCodes and tap the ghost on your screen. The screenshot you just took will appear and you’ve now added your snapcode!
Your snapcode becomes your profile pic in GhostCodes.
Finally, add your interests (this will help other like-minded people find you). Select a category that best fits the type of content you create on Snapchat. You can only pick one category, but you can change it later if needed.
Share your interests with other users.
For example, select Inspirational as your category, so other users searching the Inspirational category can find you.
Select a category that fits your Snapchat content style.
Use the App
After setting up your account, the first thing you see is the home screen where featured users are posted.
The home screen showcases featured Snapchat users.
The GhostCodes app has two main functions: downloading snapcodes and giving “kudos.”
Download a snapcode or give kudos. You decide!
Tap on the Download button to save users’ snapcodes to your phone. You can then go into Snapchat and add them by their snapcode.
If you find people who interest you, tap on the heart by their profile and give them kudos. GhostCodes ranks users in each category by the number of kudos they’ve received. The more kudos, the higher the ranking.
Find and Engage With Users
On the Categories tab, there are thousands of Snapchat users organized by dozens of categories. When you’re looking for someone to follow, you simply go to the category that interests you. You can also manually search by keyword.
Find people by category or search by interest.
To take full advantage of the app, you need more than just a profile; you need to engage with other users. Whenever you save someone’s snapcode or give them kudos, they get a notification that you did so.
Downloading a snapcode or giving kudos sends a notification to that Snapchat user..
Start by looking for interesting people, saving their snapcodes, and giving kudos. You’ll be surprised how many will return the favor and how quickly your following will grow!
Conclusion
Snapchat’s growth and popularity are staggering. More than that, though, its users are engaged. Harnessing the attention that’s on Snapchat is a huge opportunity for you and your business.
What do you think? Have you been using these tactics to grow your Snapchat following? Please share your thoughts in the comments below!

One comes to Real Estate there are positives and negatives we tend to see during this time.
Most years we see a lull in the market around this time. One thing to consider is many buyers are purchasing in areas based heavily on school district. This means they are attempting to close on a home and move into the house before school starts. On average, according to Realtor.ca, it takes 50 Days to close on a house however locally many houses close as quickly as 30 days. This means as a seller you want to have your house on the market no later than early July to be safe, especially if you live a highly desirable school district.
Generally, the types of homes that accommodate family lifestyles struggle the most. Those homes tend to be 3+ bedroom homes. The more bedrooms a home has the more likely a family is purchasing the house. Homes that have immediate possession are more desirable during this time for the families that are needing a home quicker to get settled into the school of their choice.
There are many areas where schools starting don’t affect the market much. Retirement communities, condos, and townhomes are a few examples. Buyers for these style of homes typically don’t have children in school anymore. Don’t be alarmed if you aren’t on the market yet. We do see the market pick back up a few weeks after school is in session and remain solid until the holiday season.
Parents with kids that are off for the summer months keep quite busy. During those months families tend to work less, travel more, and take a break from house shopping. When school starts again families get more into a schedule and then tend to have a bit more time to view homes and get serious on purchasing. If you can’t list now I’d recommend doing so the second week after schools start.
So stay safe out there and watch out for all the kids going back to school crossing the roads. If you have any questions about buying or selling Sherwood Park real estate, please feel free to give me a call. I would love to hear from you!
Warm regards,

IU’s Thoughts on Acting in Upcoming Drama “Beautiful Man”
Singer IU revealed her thoughts on appearing in KBS 2TV’s Monday-Tuesday drama “Beautiful Man.”
IU uploaded a post on her official fancafe on October 22 titled “Knock! Knock!,” in which she explained her reasons for picking “Beautiful Man” as her next drama project, as well as details on her ongoing preparation for her upcoming concert in November.
Her post began by asking for fans for their understanding. “I know you have concerns, and I know that you are worried for me. But I don’t know why I keep signing on to dramas like a green frog (Korean folk tale about a green frog who didn’t listen to its mother) even though I know about these worries. It was something that I wanted to do.”
IU revealed, “I received the drama offer suddenly about a week after my album came out. I was initially going to spend the rest of my year with a short course of activities and then four concerts, but then I thought that was a shame. At that point, I decided that with the remaining two months left of the year I might as well light up the winter with work.”
She also added that she had originally planned to promote her new song “Red Shoes” for a short period of four weeks.
IU explained, “’Beautiful Man’ dropped into my life suddenly. After ‘You’re the Best, Lee Soon Shin’ ended, I really wanted to do more acting. Singer IU debuted five years ago, and made it to number one last week, but actress IU has finished two dramas and is just one of the many new rookie actresses.”
In the drama “Beautiful Man,” IU will play the role of Kim Bo Tong (which translates to Kim Average”) who is just plain in background and looks and basically average in everything. Bo Tong is a girl who falls in love at first sigh with Dokko Ma Te (played by Jang Geun Suk) in middle school and then lives her life for him. Dokko Ma Te is the man who has all the surrounding women fighting over him, and Bo Tong is the one who defends him from all these women.
“Beautiful Man” is a drama adaptation from the comic of the same name by popular comic artist Cheon Gye Young. With a face suitable of being designated a national treasure and possessing a certain fiendishness, Dokko Ma Te steals the hearts of 10 of Korea’s top 1% successful women and becomes a real beautiful man through this process. “Beautiful Man” will air in November. | https://www.soompi.com/article/543107wpp/ius-thoughts-on-acting-in-upcoming-drama-beautiful-man | 2018-10-15T18:20:57 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

The Ultimate Guide to Buying Essential Oils
10 Things Health Food Stores Don’t Tell You
Written by Katelyn Sadée
In this ultimate guide, I will walk you through the things you need to know before buying essential oils, that health food stores either don’t know themselves or don’t tell you.

You did it! Check your email now to download it.
#1 Pure Essential Oils Are Often Not Actually Pure
Most essential oils sold on the market are not 100% pure. This is possible because the essential oil industry is unregulated. This means there are no regulations with regards to their ingredients, their purity, their labels or their practices.
Adulteration
When done right essential oils have amazing healthful properties. However, a company can describe their essential oils as pure but are often altered, otherwise known as adulteration. This is sometimes done to enhance the smell or extend their shelf life.
This is done through adding alcohol, synthetic aromas or synthetic chemicals. Another common way is to add lower quality versions of an oil to drive the cost down.
This happens a lot with lavender and there are many reports of fraudulent practices in the essential oil industry. What is sad is that this is often denied and none of it can be found on the label…
#2 Essential Oils Don’t Last Forever!
They only last forever when certain additives like preservatives are used to extend the shelf life. The oils might technically still exist but you have to consider at what cost.
I prefer to choose products that don’t carry harmful ingredients AND deteriorate naturally. When people claim that their purely natural oils last forever it is clear to me that they have been misled.
Oxidation of essential oils
The truth is that while the oil may last in a sense that it just “exists” for a long time, most oils pure or otherwise will eventually go bad due to oxidation. This is unavoidable unless you could somehow store them in an oxygen-free atmosphere, which is basically impossible.
Do yourself a favor. Stay away from people who claim these sort of things AND check the expiration date on the bottles.
#3 Therapeutic Grade Means Nothing
There is no independent industry-wide certification of essential oils. This means any company can claim that its essential oils are therapeutic grade, clinical grade or whatever they decide to put on their bottles.
The Food and Drug Administration has criteria for aromatherapy but the only thing that is truly regulated are the advertising claims by the Federal Trade Commission.
Testing Standards
Some companies do have fantastic essential oils that live up to high standards. However, unless a company is completely transparent and can back up their claims like this one, they may not necessarily be true. The way to gain confidence is when a company uses third-party testing and does extensive testing of their oil batches using the following tests:
- Mass Spectrometry
- Gas Chromatography
- Organoleptic testing
- Microbial testing
- Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy
- Chirality testing
- Isotopic analysis
- Heavy metal testing
#4 Source Matters Greatly
The quality of the plant material is determined by location, climate, altitude, times of harvest, and many more factors. In order to get the highest quality essential oil, it is necessary that the crops grow where they naturally thrive.
Global Collaboration
This is not easy because companies need expertise in sustainable and correct growing and distilling methods. They, therefore, need to rely on the local growers and distillers that are experts in their field.
So when you are looking for the best essential oils, one of the things to look for is to see whether the company harvests their oils globally.
This is NOT the same as outsourcing to farmers and distillers who may not share the company’s quality demands, which is why full transparency is so important.
The essential oil company I work with works closely together with farmers and distillers in over 40 countries, which is incredible!
#5 Organic Is Not Most Important
I often hear people say “well I only buy organic, so I’m sure it’s one of the best.” I believed this to be true at first also. However, I’ve come to discover this is ineffective for concluding whether an essential oil is free of pesticides and other impurities.
Here is an example for when you are purchasing organically grown oils. If the organic farm is next to a heavily polluted area, the plants from your farm will likely be polluted too.
Organic Certification
I also discovered that the largest essential oil company in the world doesn’t even carry an organic label. One of its founders Emily Wright explains why they have made this choice.
“Many of doTERRA’s essential oils are certified organic, others are ECOCERT, and some do not have any certification. The reason for this is because we source from so many developing countries. The certification requirements and availability differ from country to country. Some countries don’t even have a certification offering.
For example, it costs $2,500 for a grower to receive organic certification in Madagascar. This certification lasts 2 years. Most of the time, an inspector never even visits the farm to verify that they are, in fact, growing organically. The fee is what matters here. However, most of the growers in this impoverished country cannot afford the certification, although they are growing by the same standards. Pesticides and herbicides are not used.
The reason doTERRA has chosen to not print certified organic or even quality or purity. Once the
So having an organic label is not all it’s cracked up to be!
#6 Equal Prices For Different Oils = Major Red Flag
When looking at the plant as a whole, they are composed of only a small amount of essential oil—on average, just 1–5 percent of a plant’s total composition. Acquiring even just one bottle of essential oil requires an incredibly large amount of plant material.
Each plant is different and because of that essential oils are sold for a range of prices.
These prices depend on:
- The availability of the plant
- The essential oil yield of the plant material
- Cultivation methods
- Harvesting
- Methods for deriving the oil (require different amounts of time, effort, cost)
Extraction Processes Vary
If you are using essential oils to support your health needs, then you will want and need the best quality essential oils.
Quantity should never trump quality in the essential oil industry, but it often does.
I’ve seen different types of essential oils in health food stores that were of very similar prices and often super cheap. This is often a telling sign that you are not looking at high quality pure essential oils, and here is why.
Lavender essential oil is relatively a more affordable purchase because it is a very available plant and requires three pounds of lavender flowers to produce 15mL of essential oil.
This is contrary to rose oil which requires about 242,000 rose petals (or 105 pounds) to produce one 5ml bottle of rose oil. Crazy!
Common Sense
It makes no sense to be able to buy a pure lavender essential oil for the same price as a pure rose essential oil. Nor does it make sense to get products that are 100% pure essential oil, and therefore very labor intensive, for extra low prices.
#7 Sustainability Matters Greatly
With the rise in popularity of essential oils, companies are harvesting more plants, trees, fruits, and flowers than ever. Harvesting on such a massive scale not only endangers the plants but their growing environments and the animals that survive off those plants too.
Frankincense
You may not be aware of it but Frankincense is a highly desired essential oil and is put in all sorts of skin care and other beauty products.
In 2016, an article by the Associated Press warned that Frankincense trees were being over-harvested and were under major threat. This has serious consequences for the local communities involved and the beauty & wellness industry and is requiring responsible companies to take the lead in caring for these trees.
Sustainable Harvesting Best Practices
There are a number of things essential oil companies should do to sustainably harvest.
- At-risk plants/trees should be assessed to prevent over-harvesting or tapping, and ensure harvesting seasons never exceed a specific time period to allow for the plants to recover and grow naturally.
- Companies should work directly or at the very least provide fair wages to the harvesters, like how this company is doing it. This ensures that harvesters don’t over-harvest because they have a reliable income.
- Companies do not violate the Lacey Act and the Endangered Species Act.
We love sustainable practices!
#8 Using Oils Neat Is Better Than Diluting
Some companies sell neat oils as well as blended oils. Neat means that the oils aren’t diluted with a carrier oil, like coconut oil.
This is important to know because essential oils are very potent and should always be used in a safe manner, which often means diluting when using on the skin. Especially with those that are considered “hot oils” like oregano, cinnamon, and clove essential oil, because undiluted they can cause damage to the skin.
Some people prefer to buy the oils pre-blended to save time or when they are applying them to sensitive skin or children. Depending on which oils I am using and for which goal I will either use them neat but most often I’ll dilute when using on the skin. It’s cheaper this way and just as effective!
On your skin isn’t the only way to use essential oils! If you want to learn about what other types of uses there are, head on over to our essential oils for beginners guide.
#9 An Adverse Reaction Caused By An Essential Oil Is NOT Your Body Detoxing.
Oh man, I’ve heard this one so many times. It is hard to believe that there are people out there who are actually accepting this as the truth.
There is no positive explanation for any adverse reaction that natural products might cause us.
In fact, just because something is natural doesn’t mean it is good for us. There are plenty of ways that nature does not treat us kindly.
If you get an adverse reaction that means your skin is IRRITATED.
Start Slow
A rash or burn from an essential oil is basically your skin saying STOP what you are doing, now! This is why when using a new essential oil, we always recommend doing a patch test on a small area of skin to see how it will react.
Some Oil React With The Sun
Also, know that certain citrus essential oils react with the sun. This is called phototoxicity and is nothing to fear and perfectly normal. Make sure you don’t use citrus essential oils for at least 24 hours on the areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun (bergamot is 48h).
Essential oils are fat-soluble and for that reason, you won’t be able to wash them off with water. If you do end up getting a skin reaction or get some in your eyes, don’t use water but grab any plant-based oil like coconut oil, and use that to rub off the excess oil.
Remember, essential oils are very concentrated and potent. Let’s be mindful of that. Rather be safe than sorry!
#10 Start With Basic Oils
I say this because I see people have a good experience with a specific oil and then buying one or two random oils, that don’t have many functionalities. They end up not knowing what to use them for and only using them a few times a month during bathtime. Sound familiar?
Assuming they are of good quality, this is such a waste of money.
If you want to make the most out of essential oils I would recommend starting with the basics. That means learning how to effectively use a small number of basic essential oils.
I would suggest starting with Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Frankincense, Melaleuca, and Oregano. The company I use also offers a few blends that I find extremely helpful for beginner’s because you don’t have to buy expensive oils separately. These blends have tremendous benefits such as digestive, respiratory, immune, and muscle/joint support.
Use your basic essential oils to
- Clean low/no tox
- Reduce stress & anxiety
- Supporting day to day ailments like tummy upset, scrapes, cuts, congestion, colds, seasonal discomfort, muscle aches, trouble sleeping, bug bites, small burns, you name it all the way
- Managing mood
- Supporting a healthy work environment
- Supporting exercise and yoga
- Great for kids.
- Oh and of course for sniffing them and bathtime too!
Yep, essential oils can do all of this and more. Sounds pretty good, right?
We offer support on all of these topics in case you want to learn more.
Conclusion
There are multiple companies in the world that produce pure essential oils. Finding those companies, however, is not always so easy.
Another problem is that there are a lot of companies out there selling essential oils, but most of them do not have the ability (or sometimes even the desire) to do the necessary quality control before passing their oils on to their customers.
The essential oil industry is massive and there is a lot of money to be made in it, both for retailers and direct marketing representatives like myself. I don’t see a problem in this as long as the companies are run ethically, sustainably, treat and educate their workers and customers REALLY well, and provide pure high-quality essential oils.
Research Guidelines
The Best Essential Oil Checklist
1. The company must have experience
2. The oils must be pure
3. Plants must be grown in indigenous locations
4. Organic practices
5. Most plants are grown in remote locations where no pesticides, herbicides, or harmful chemicals are used
6. They use each oil’s Latin Name. Without the Latin name, you can easily mistake one plant or essential oil for another.
7. No solvents used
8. No artificial oils (or “scents”) sold
9. No adulterating
10. Fairtrade and beyond.
11. The company provides education about oils – no “over-recommending” of essential oil use and takes essential oil safety very seriously.
12. Reasonable pricing
As you can see, there is a LOT to keep in mind when shopping for essential oils.
Trust Your Own Instincts
In the end, I think it all comes down to who YOU trust. I will always strongly advice you to do your research and not just take my word for it. In case you’re curious which oil brand I trust and use after having done my own research then I’ve included that for you. This is my favorite essential oil company.

Courier Delivery Services
Posted by Mark Nolan on Tuesday, September 25, 2018 Under: Guest Motorcycle Articles
The modern age of technology and business has made life considerably easier. Courier delivery services are a good example of this. Delivering packages of all sizes and shapes, these delivery services have a definite advantage over traditional snail mail.
The idea of a courier is not new. Back in the ages of ancient civilizations, it was very common to see homing pigeons, horsemen and runners across the countryside, all trying to get a message from point A to point B. These runners would travel the entire distance at a steady pace so that their package could get delivered. To this day, there are still several marathons which trace the same roots as these messengers.
Of course, couriers today rarely travel by foot. There are a wide variety of methods of sending a certain something by courier, with all modes of transport being used. A few most commonly used are:
Bicycle or motorbike - used in cities where traffic can inhibit trucks and walking is just too slow.
Delivery trucks and railway - used to carry packages cross-country, or even across borders.
Aeroplanes - the fastest way to travel long distances, delivery services were revolutionized by the aircraft. Able to travel anywhere in the world within a day and easy to track, this is the best way to send a package.
All these transports provide a faster delivery, and thus less waiting for mail. The fact that an airplane travels at several hundred miles per hour means that an international delivery can take several hours in some cases. This speed is an obvious advantage to sending via courier, and is their chief selling point. A large number of businesses across the US rely on them to get files delivered on time.
Besides the short delivery time, couriered mail has other benefits. When you post something by normal mail, it is susceptible to theft. Because of the lower security of such services, people shy away from delivering valuable items by normal mail, such as jewelry or antiques. With a courier service, security is a high priority. Obviously if something is being hand delivered, it has much less chance of being stolen.
Furthermore, most companies employ some sort of tracking method. A code is assigned to your package and you can trace exactly where the delivery has been at any point in time. This allows you to monitor the progress until your parcel reaches the desired location. If any problems do occur, you will know about it and will be able to hold somebody or something accountable.
Many courier companies also accommodate strange or special delivery requirements. Oddly shaped, oddly sized packages are assigned to applicable modes of transport. Fragile goods are treated with care and everything is insured. One specialized branch of couriering is organ delivery. Couriers must keep the organs refrigerated, travel long distances quickly and ensure no damage arises.

Cinematographer, writer, and director Rick Ray has produced 12 films about regions as diverse as Ethiopia, Iceland, and Bali. While traveling in India, he followed the advice of a cab driver and e-mailed a request to the Dalai Lama for an interview. This unusual documentary charts Ray's private visit to a monastery in Dharamsala and includes archival footage of the Dalai Lama's youth, the Chinese takeover of Tibet, and his life in exile in India. There is also rare footage of the changes in Tibet under Communist rule. Ray teaches filmmaking at Brooks Institute in Ventura, California, and observing that most of his students know very little about Tibet or the Dalai Lama, he says, "I made this film for the younger generation."
Ray provides a fascinating mix of material on the 14th Dalai Lama, who describes himself as "a simple monk from a peasant family." He is also a winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize and has been called "the rock star of peace." In his travels around the world, people who meet him talk of being amazed by his humility, his broad knowledge of science, his informality, and his infectious laugh and mischievous sense of humor. The Dalai Lama identifies with the poor and the dispossessed people in the world because he, too, is a refugee. This spiritual leader is also a great advocate of religious tolerance and mutual cooperation.
Ray ends 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama with an interview with the spiritual leader of Tibet. Among the subjects this peacemaker discusses is the contentment that comes from a simple life of limits; the need to take better care of the environment; the importance of birth control; the power of negative emotions, such as frustration, anger and hatred; the significance of self-discipline; and the value of peace and the folly of war.
Here are two quotations from the interview:
• "Everything is interdependent. Everything is interconnected. So my interest is very much linked to everyone's interests. Our survival and our future are very much linked to one another. Therefore the destruction of your so-called enemy is actually the destruction of your self. The concept of war 'destroy your enemy' is old-fashioned. It is out of date."
• "To use the power of the gun is a sign of weakness. The power of the gun is short-term. Very decisive, very powerful, but in the long run, the power of the gun cannot remain. This violence, it won't work."
Special DVD features include an interview with director Rick Ray, an interview with Tenzin Geyche Tethong, and additional selected scenes. | https://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/films/reviews/view/18205 | 2018-10-15T17:03:14 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Trip To DMZ Unsettling, Harsh Reminder Of Daily Life In Korea
Saturday morning, I woke up in a fluffy bed on the 14th floor of the Millennium Seoul Hilton and had tea while looking out on a prosperous world capital. By noon, I was 240 feet underground in the Korean Demilitarized Zone, staring down a cramped tunnel into the most dangerous, mysterious country on earth.
After Friday’s opening ceremony, I took a side trip away from the Pyeongchang Winter Games to visit the DMZ, one of the world’s great morbid curiosities. What I saw reminded me how extraordinary it is for the North and South to even talk to each other, much less field a combined Olympic team.
Military installations are at every turn. The guns are literally pointed. If you stand still, you can hear the high-pitched sounds of the North’s propaganda speakers blasting southward. Across an inlet, you can see hills stripped clear of trees so Kim Jong-un’s dictatorship can easily spot and shoot defectors running for the water.
This scene is just a day trip from Seoul and the Olympics. The proximity of evil and war is more than a little unsettling for an American who grew up with the luxury of friendly neighbors and two oceans to protect us.
Just 20 minutes after we boarded our bus at the Hilton, our tour guide, Cindy, pointed to the left side of the highway. “See, there’s barbed wire and the military lookout posts along the river, because we’re so close to the North. They could swim across.”
As I gaped, I thought we must have gone farther than I realized. It looked like we were still in the suburbs. Turns out, we were. She pointed to the other side of the highway: “You see the apartments over there, they never go up in price because you’re so close to the North.”
Unsettling as it was, Cindy’s real estate comment was the first of many reminders that this is simply daily life for South Korea. Yes, 20 million people live in metro Seoul, all well within the range of the North’s heavy artillery, but it’s been that way for three generations now and they thrive with a mix of distrust, resignation and hope for the North.
Our first stop was at the Dora Observatory, a hilltop where you can see both sides of the DMZ, the frozen river that roughly separates control of the zone and, in the distance, the North. We put 500 won coins into binoculars and saw the creepy “Propaganda Village,” a town the North has named Peace Village and claims has 200 prosperous residents but shows no sign of human activity at midday Saturday.
At the next stop, we walked through a gift shop, donned hard hats and walked down a steep path tunneled into the bedrock by the South Korean army. Gas masks are stored every 100 feet or so, with instructions in English and Korean.
When the grade finally leveled out, it all changed. The tunnel got smaller and cramped. We were inside the “third tunnel,” the third of four tunnels discovered so far built by the North in a bid to facilitate an invasion. The ceiling shrunk to about five and a half feet high, and I crouch-walked another 160 meters to a barrier, just 170 meters from the Northern side of the DMZ.
From there, you could see to another barrier. Behind that, there was a third hidden barrier, the last thing between us and North Korean territory. Supposedly, 30,000 North Korean soldiers an hour could get through that tunnel, and when the South discovered it in 1978, it stopped just 27 miles from Seoul.
Here’s the scary part: They’ve found four tunnels, but experts believe there might be 20 more they don’t know about.
To my surprise, we did not visit the Joint Security Area, the best-known part of the DMZ, where the North and South soldiers eye each other from just a few hundred feet away. (That requires an extra level of vetting.) So I didn’t get the picture I was hoping for, but in visiting the other facilities, I understood better the day-to-day civilian life near the border.
Our last stop was Dorasan Station, the train station built to service a line that goes to the North’s capital of Pyongyang, if the day ever comes when that’s allowed. Hundreds of names are engraved on a wall there, those of South Koreans with family still in the North who want to take the first trains that way.
These few hours gave me a deep sense of dread. Intellectually, I know war is not likely for a variety of reasons. But Lord, it could be so easy, and it galls me to hear Americans clamor for a hard line on the North from 6,000 miles way.
But for Cindy and many other Koreans, the DMZ is a booming tourism business. They don’t take it in stride, exactly, but the warring history and present tension is baked into the equation of life. Only as an aside, she mentioned that one of her good friends is a North Korean defector whose mother was shot and killed as they escaped to China in her childhood.
She laughed when someone asked her if she’s afraid of Kim Jong-un. “He doesn’t want this country to be a wasteland,” she said.
On our way home, we hit traffic in Seoul. I was still thinking about how close we were to that tunnel. But as we stopped, Cindy looked across the Han River to the skyline and said, “Look at all of these buildings. … After the Korea War, there was nothing here. It was like Ground Zero. Everything you see here has come in 60, 70 years. I am very proud of this city.”

The race for the third place - Advantage Tottenham
It’s been exactly 51 seasons since Tottenham achieved their resplendent feat of a double under the management of Bill Nicholson and though they are still miles away from repeating such a historic feat , this is the closest they have ever gotten.
After having finished just below the much coveted final Champions League spot in the fifth position last season and crashing out of the same by the hands of Real Madrid, they look much more promising this season ensconced in the third place below the Manchester clubs and could end this season on a high note that is if they play their cards right.
The threesome of “Spurs”, “Gunners” and “The Blues” have been battling out for the “third and fourth spot” in the League which is rather ironic. With spurs heading the attack , Chelsea and Arsenal are viciously looming behind. A mere four points separate the three teams with only ten games to go.
Tottenham has a comparatively easy run with only an away game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge being notably crucial, while arsenal still has to play Chelsea and second placed Manchester City whereas Chelsea is yet to be tested against Liverpool, Arsenal, City and Spurs.
The biggest concern for spurs has been their inconsistency at times and unfortunately their inability to grind out results from close games. To be added to their list of woes is their recent dip in form, with three defeats on the trot at the hands of Everton, Manchester United and Arsenal, they have made it more difficult for themselves and the sooner they snap out of this limbo the better. They have also abominably floundered when it comes to performing against the elite clubs in the league with wins coming only against Liverpool and Arsenal, both at White Hart Lane.
They are known for their creative attacking play which is both enticing and exhilarating to watch and has been garnering credit for a while now. They have been voted as the best team to watch according to a recent survey conducted by the Barclays involving all the managers of the Premier League.
They have arguably one of the best mid-fields in the premier league on paper studded with a number of star players. The superhuman speed of Welshman Gareth Bale convolved with the commanding pace and brilliance of Aaron Lennon and Luka Modric on the flanks, the tenacity and agility of Scott Parker infused with the ingenuity and finishing flair of Rafael Van Der Vaart make for an incendiary and intimidating Tottenham mid-field. With all the ingredients in the bag they are now a force to be reckoned with and are on the verge of breaking into upper tiers of the Premier League.
It is going to be a lot tougher for Chelsea with one leg still lodged in the Champions League after overturning an almost impossible 3-1 deficit from the first leg against Napoli which makes for extra stress along with the increased physical demands.
The ousting of Andre Villas Boas has certainly set the ball rolling at Stamford Bridge with three out of three wins under the new gaffer Roberto Di Mattio in three different competitions, but it is too soon to draw any conclusions and only time will tell us the tale of Chelsea’s glorious or ignominious future.
The Gunners after fizzling to a catastrophic start to the season with just one win in five games and having a comparatively subordinate season, have finally upped the ante and are back in contention for the third place and hence qualification for the Champions League.
With no trophies in seven years , they are in desperate need to at least stay in the creme de la creme of the premier league. It is even difficult to predict where they will end up given their mercurial season and the whims at which their players have been performing with Van Persie being their sole goal machine.
With just ten games left, every single point is of vital importance and even the slightest slip up can turn their season upside down , that said there is an insurmountable pressure reposing on the shoulders of not only the players but also the managers with their jobs on the line. Only true grit, perseverance and a cool head can get you across the line.
So who do you think is going to snatch the third place and which London Club will be deprived of Champions League glory next season? Do drop in your comments.
