Most people think that emotional Intelligence will help them control negative emotions. It is not, Emotional Intelligence will help you to see that emotion are asset.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS NOT A “SILVER BULLET,” IT WILL NOT FIX ALL YOUR PROBLEM AND IS NOT ALL THERE IS TO GREAT LEADERSHIP. GREAT LEADERSHIP REQUIRES EXCELLENCE IN MANY AREAS – STRATEGY, EXECUTION, DISCIPLINE, INNOVATION, ANALYSIS.BEING SMART ABOUT FEELINGS MAY NOT EVEN BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE OF THESE, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS THE ONE THAT’S GOTTEN THE LEAST ATTENTION AND SO CAUSES MANY OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS.

Even before the infamous Silk Road website was seized and dismantled by the government, the internet drug trade was an unsafe practice. For Australians it has, and always will be a way of life. The country’s isolation is a curse – goods of any kind are expensive to import and with government crackdowns, drug imports are especially difficult. Still, the rewards outweigh the risks, and sites like Agora are still seeing heavy traffic to push product.
After a seven-day study by News.com.au, a staggering amount of information has been uncovered about Australians current drug use. They discovered that metamphetamines and cocaine were the the most accessible drugs of the 9000+ listings on the site. In just a week, a site like Agora had $2.5 million in product, with an average listing price for almost $1200. Some dealers generated $800,000 monthly, from drugs that also included ecstasy, marijuana, heroin, but the top user earned $3.3 million.
Not only have police have been unable to find the parties involved, as the online marketplace uses Bitcoin and encrypted browsers, but it hasn’t made a substantial threat to scare users from using these sites either. As time goes on, Australia’s stake in online drug trading is growing exponentially, and putting more and more people as risk daily. | 2019-04-25T22:15:18 | https://www.youredm.com/2015/05/08/australians-still-playing-a-risky-game-with-online-drug-purchases/ |
A Lot Of Talk About The End And The Rapture . . . . How Near?
Do you want war? I know I don't. I know lot of people don't . . . . but it seems a lot of people who have a big say in what is going to happen seem to want war. I am just so tired of fools and the super intelligent advisors to the powerful who make stupid, dangerous and deadly decisions. So tired . . . . come Lord Jesus.
With the neo-cons back in more power they are once again pressing their primary agenda of using America as the world enforcer in an attempt to spread "American democracy" around the world, with the aim to conform all the world into the image of America which they believe will achieve that new world order they have long dreamed of.
War is the best means of distracting the population while being able to call for the need to have more taxes and higher government spending and an expansion of the government and military for the purposes of the elite to exploit.
Many Republicans, with them not even having assumed control of congress yet, are already calling for enhanced military action, provocations to war and outright war in several Mid-East countries, in Ukraine against Russia, in Africa and possibly even a tougher stance in the Asian-Pacific region.
Perpetual war and promoting fear of "enemies" all around has long been the hallmark of out-of-control governments and tyrannical leaders. Never mind the mess, corruption, lawlessness, and misery within the country, just make sure the population is fearful of some "enemy" out there that must be dealt with first...or else!
Meanwhile, a large percentage of American Christians support the use of America as world policeman and advocate for war after war. Little time left for spreading the Gospel, living for Christ, shining the light of Christ for the lost world to see.
The Rapture of the Church is imminent...it can come at anytime. Nothing needs to precede it and nothing will "make it happen". It will happen in God's perfect timing. I believe it is closer than we think. So, get right or get left (behind)!
What really gets me is those "prophecy preachers" who say this but at the same time over the last several decades they have also continually said something akin to, "now that this has happened, nothing else needs to happen before Christ returns" or "with this occurring we can now know the end is upon us".
So, which is it, can Christ return at any time and could have returned at any time before, or were these various things they keep talking about over the years things that had to take place before Christ could return? They are very inconsistent in their teachings.
I would think that since the Apostles and other believers at the time the New Testament was written were expecting that Christ could return at any moment, there was nothing specific that had to occur before then.
Which makes me wonder all the more why so many "prophecy preachers" point to a dozen or more different things that had to happen before Christ could return. If that were the case then no generation prior to those things happening could have rightly expected Jesus might return in their lifetime.
If we make our calling and election sure (make sure we are biblically born again in Christ) then we will be with Him whenever He returns. Hopefully, as Scripture instructs, we will be found living for Him when He returns and not "doing our own thing".
We speak a lot on the imminent return, how the Apostles, like Paul, acted as though the rapture could occur at any minute. But, have we considered that Paul and the other apostles didn't yet have the book of the Revelation, if it was, indeed, written, as many believe, around 90AD? And the Revelation contains a lot about what would occur around the rapture, and the subsequent second coming of Christ Jesus, things the Apostles and other believers didn't know, as the book and its contents, in total, had not yet been delivered.
That having been said, merely for consideration, I don't worry much about the rapture or its timing. The Lord will call us when He calls us. Yes, I pray for the Lord to return; Yes, even so, Lord Jesus, Come! But until then, we have the promises of the word of God to hold to until then: that wicked men will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived, the very men spoken of at the beginning of this post, who think they are in charge, yet are not. We are promised tribulation, (not speaking of THE tribulation here), in this life if we will live faithfully for Jesus. We are promised that the world will hate our Lord, and thus, us; that the devil will fight us. that in general, things are going to get worse, before they get better. And even when it seems things are getting better, ('peace, peace') then will come sudden destruction.
So really, I think we need to just continue to concentrate on the work of God, on souls, on living faithfully for the Lord until we either die and go to glory, or the Lord returns. We don't really know what all is on God's agenda before Jesus calls us out-nothing says He told us everything-so let us just be faithful. I love my wife dearly, but she is one of those that is constantly looking at this and that as signs: this is the chip, that may be the antichrist, middle east, israel, etc, etc., and I have to remind her to relax and just keep busy. Yes, we should be watchful, but in all the watching, like on the walls of Jerusalem in Nehemiah's time, have one eye on the enemy, and your sword strapped on, while working the work until it is complete.
I am assuming you are referencing 1 Corinthians 15:52? | 2019-04-23T16:00:01 | https://onlinebaptist.com/forums/topic/22432-a-lot-of-talk-about-the-end-and-the-rapture-how-near/?tab=comments |
Why A Yoga Alternative ?
When Alli Becker began obediently teaching exercise that included "yoga" postures, the Holy Spirit highlighted some things to omit completely or change to reveal Jesus things that were common practice in regular yoga classes. She asked the Lord, "How can I make this more Yours?" Each unique element that is added to Keola® classes is part of His blessed answer.
Class opening in prayer for growth in the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23) and Christ.
Choosing one fruit as a focus of the session.
A series that commemorates Christ's victory over death through positions that share the story of His path from the cross (Cross position) to His resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father (Seated with Christ position).
Scripture and Gospel teachings incorporated into the movement.
Position names that declare who you are in Christ.
A new element launched in March 2014. The definition of position is "a place where someone or something is located or has been put". By accepting Jesus as Lord, you have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light (Col 1:13). These namespowerfully proclaim your new identity in Christ.
His Child position resting moments added into the sequence for "rest and praise" time with Father God.
The most significant element given to set Keola® apart in fitness. A portion of each session spent in "The Cross" (Tree) Position. Reflection here on grace, forgiveness, thanksgiving, or something relating to this incomparable sacrifice and how Jesus transforms lives and freely gives life, peace, and healing.
Personal time with the Lord for prayer.
Final relaxation/biblical meditation with encouragement to actively listen to God.
Class closing with "The Christ in me sees the 'Christ in you, the hope of glory' (Colossians 1:27)..." and prayer in the name of Jesus.
Keola® Christian fitness and yoga alternative beautifully marries these two important areas, creating a unique physical fitness workout that benefits spirit, soul, and body.
In 2008, the Lord began leading Alli Becker to bring exercises to the public that included Him, specifically within the mind-body pilates and yoga genre. She responded by becoming ACE certified and training in teaching techniques. In February 2009, she taught her first class. Through trial and prayer, Keola® was officially born.
Alli created Keola® in order to enable others to benefit from the peace, energy, and well-being that accompany a lifestyle of growing in Christ actively. She hopes to restore hope and inspire others to honor God by caring for the bodies He has given them, demonstrating that through Christ healthy living can be simpler, enjoyable, and bring glory to God.
Keola® is a new exercise, birthed through and for the Spirit of Christ, and completely separated/set apart from yoga. Yoga is about the movement and being transformed from the outside-in through the discipline of practicing, being slowly perfected and enlightened by it.
Keola®, on the other hand, tells a story. From the position names to the specific elements that are consistent throughout all the physical fitness classes (see left "Redemption Expressed"), you will experience the love story of the Good News of Jesus and be encouraged and transformed by that Word of Christ.
Some of the positions (which did not originate in yoga) look the same, just like you did on the outside immediately after accepting Jesus, but you were a totally new creation. It shifted from what you do to what He's done and whose you are. You were at that moment perfected in the eyes of God: fully righteous by faith. Similarly, these movements (which are not "bad" in and of themselves, but were taken as offerings to pagan gods) and the many physiological benefits associated with them have been bought back and now used to glorify Jesus by proclaiming His Gospel.
Keola® Christian alternative to yoga is wholly new, dedicated to, and submissive to the One True God. May you be blessed in spirit, soul, and body as you experience the Gospel through movement and spend time with Father God while doing it. | 2019-04-23T22:44:10 | http://www.keolafit.com/about.html |
Religion transforms people; no one touches holy ground and stays the same. Religious leaders stir the pot by pointing to the contrast between life as it is and life as it should be, and urging us to close the gap. Religious insights provide the handhold that people need to criticize injustice, rise above self-interest, and take risks to achieve healing in a wounded world. Religion at its best is no friend to the status quo.
Organization, on the other hand, conserves. Institutions capture, schematize, and codify persistent patterns of activity. A well-ordered congregation lays down schedules, puts policies on paper, places people in positions, and generally brings order out of chaos. Organizations can be flexible, creative, and iconoclastic, but only by resisting some of their most basic instincts.
No wonder “organized religion” is so difficult! Congregations create sanctuaries where people can nurture and inspire each other—with results no one can predict. The stability of a religious institution is a necessary precondition to the instability religious transformation brings. The need to balance both sides of this paradox—the transforming power of religion and the stabilizing power of organization—makes leading congregations a unique challenge.
A special risk for leaders is that a congregation can succeed so well at organizing that it loses track of its religious mission. Congregational life becomes so tightly ordered that it squeezes out all inspiration. The challenge of organized religion is to find ways to encourage people to encounter God in potentially soul-shaking ways while also helping them to channel spiritual energy in paths that will be healthy for them, the congregation, and the world beyond. Religious leaders who write bylaws would be well advised to do so, as theologian Karl Barth admonished preachers, with the Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other, holding realism and idealism in a salutary tension. | 2019-04-24T06:16:08 | https://www.danhotchkiss.com/the-art-of-governance-book-excerpt/ |

I was back in Baguio but this time with the entire family and churchmates to attend the Luzon Grace Youth Fellowship. We were able to visit a few places during and after the fellowship. I was overjoyed to be away from the summer heat and be with my family in the cool breeze in Baguio.
Nate’s very first hair cut went very well and he was so cooperative but I couldn’t forget how much hair we got after that and how everyone reacted on his completely new image. lol!
This week, we got a new opportunity to teach the kids in our neighborhood. I’m not sure if I have mentioned before that I am a Sunday School teacher since I was in High School but I stopped teaching since 2009. I slowly went back to teaching in 2013 and am now involving myself to our church’s Children’s ministry again. The past few days, we’ve welcomed the kids in the backyard unintentionally and we thought of teaching them bible stories. They liked it and went back the other day for another story with me. I’d like to continue this opportunity and start having regular classes with them. I hope they will grow in numbers as the past few years, we already had good news classes here in Batasan Hills but was paused for quite a long time. We’d like to resume that ministry with the kids.
It is nice that you teach at Sunday school. Those kids are all ears. Must be a nice feeling! | 2019-04-23T17:01:25 | https://abovepreciousrubies.com/2015/05/april-at-glance.html |
A new report forecasts that online video viewing around the world will rise by one-fifth in 2017.
Zenith’s Online Video Forecasts 2017 report estimates that consumers will spend an average of 47.4 minutes a day viewing online video this year -- up from 39.6 minutes in 2016. The report attributes the lift to the abundance of video content on platforms including Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, and Facebook.
The report also projects that mobile video viewing will increase by 35% to 28.8 minutes per day in 2017, and will rise by 25% in 2018 and 29% in 2019. Viewing on PCs, laptops, and smart TVs is projected to increase by 2% to 20.3 minutes.
In addition, the report estimates that online video advertising will grow 23% to $27.2 billion. However, annual growth peaked at 37% in 2014. And by 2019, online video will account for 31% of total expenditures on digital display advertising, up from 28% in 2017, and 21% in 2012.

Tobi, I must assume that the 47 minutes per day on digital video "viewing" that you are reporting refers not to the average person---like in the total population---butonly to those who watch such videos on a typical day----which is not by any means the total consumer population. Can you clarify, please?

E-SPLOST V projects for Dunwoody High School include a 600 seat classroom addition, artificial turf installation and covering the retention pond/swamp. In March, the Board received and approved the administration’s plan for the timing of all E-SPLOST V projects. I voted against accepting this timeline but it was passed on a 5-2 vote. The projects at DHS aren’t scheduled to begin planning and procurement until February of 2019. Construction isn’t scheduled to begin until October 2020. The expected completion date is between June and September 2022 (at the earliest).
The Game On Capital Campaign would like to decouple the athletic facility improvements from the E-SPLOST projects. The Capital Campaign would like to accelerate the schedule of the athletic field improvement component of E-SPLOST V. The district said they will investigate the feasibility of accommodating this accelerated schedule as they proceed with overall planning and design work.
The school district must consider how at least 2 key variables will affect all of the E-SPLOST projects at DHS, not just the athletic field improvements. Those variables are the location of a sufficient water retention pond and the location of the 600 seat addition.
DCSD has indicated their intention is to put out RFPs, make awards, and then begin each E-SPLOST V project according to the approved scheduling plan. Once the awards have been made, the school district will understand how the key variables for DHS addition and improvements interplay. At that point they will know if the current retention pond location will be sufficient for the site or if another retention area must be created and placed under the athletic fields.
If the current retention infrastructure is sufficient and if the building addition doesn’t require the reconfiguration of the athletic fields, then it is more likely DCSD can decouple the athletic field improvements from the overall project. If that happens then the Game On Capital Campaign can move sooner to accomplish its goals.
If another retention pond must be constructed or if the building addition will impede on the current athletic field areas, the Game On Capital Campaign may face a delay in starting their projects.
The RFPs have not yet been released by the school district. This is still several months out. Once they go out, it will take some time to gather the responses and determine the award. From that point, it will likely take another year to perform preliminary designs and conduct a feasibility study to determine the impact of the addition and field work. Based on the data and feedback from the school district, and if the athletic field improvements are able to be decoupled from the whole project, the best case scenario is that the capital field improvements breaks ground the Summer of 2019.
What is a matching fund?
The Dunwoody School Council and school administration have been told by DCSD that the district would match any funds the community raised. One of the items included in E-SPLOST V’s project list is an upgrade to artificial turf fields for all of the high schools. The budget for field improvements is the same for all high schools. Regardless of the amount of money Dunwoody raised, the school district has budgeted the same for Dunwoody.
This entry was posted in Dunwoody High School, SPLOST and tagged Dunwoody High School, E-SPLOST, Game On Capital Campaign. Bookmark the permalink.
DCSD will match funds raised by the Dunwoody community? I have never heard of such a thing!
Stan, is this agreement in writing? Is it limited to this particular “Game On” project, or is it a general agreement?
Is this just a terminology problem? I can understand Dunwoody HS not wanting to lose the E-SPLOST-V funds allocated for turfing its field just because it is rich enough to take on that task itself. But most DCSD high schools are Title 1 schools and raising a significant amount of money, even with the promise of DCSD matching, is impossible. Dunwoody is to be applauded, but this “matching funds” policy doesn’t sound fair.
Please advise how to get clarification on DCSD’s commitment with Dunwoody.
Matching – All high schools will get $790,000 for field improvements. Dunwoody High School will get nothing more than that from the district for field improvements.
Just a clarification. All high schools will get turf fields but not the same level of funding. Funding is based on field size.
DCSD has allocated between $770,000 and $830,000 to turf each DCSD high school. The small fields at Druid Hills HS ($640,000), Druid Hills MS ($640,000), and Chamblee Charter HS ($540,000) are exceptions.
Interesting that CCHS, destined to be the 3rd largest DCSD high school, has the smallest athletic field. | 2019-04-21T20:06:07 | http://factchecker.stanjester.com/2017/04/7229/ |
G-STIC - Accelerating Technological Transitions Towards the SDGs 1080p from VITObelgium on Vimeo.
Under the lead of VITO (the prime research and technology organisation on cleantech and sustainable development in Belgium), a number of independent and not-for-profit technological research institutes are teaming up to organise a series of Global Sustainable Technology & Innovation Conferences (G-STIC). Bringing together key stakeholders from Science, Technology and Innovation communities (including the private sector) the G-STIC Conference series will help catalyse change, strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development. G-STIC will provide all stakeholders with a forum to review, discuss and identify internationally relevant technological innovations that can lead the world on a more sustainable development course.
G-STIC facilitates the co-design and co-production of knowledge and solutions that are needed to implement the climate change agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, by fostering collaboration among Sustainable Technology & Innovation communities. Technology transfer is widely recognised as an important means to enable the kind of economic and social transformation that will help achieve the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda, and is therefore one of the G-STIC series’ major objectives.
But, to be successful, promoting collaboration and cooperation must go far beyond the Sustainable Technology & Innovation expert communities. G-STIC therefore also invites the right mix of policy makers from national and international levels, to make technology know-how available for global policy setting.
Designed to bridge the gap between technology development and policy-making, G-STIC aims to contribute a robust technology advisory system to the United Nations – effectively supporting a worldwide transition to more sustainable societies and economies. By supporting the discussions, negotiation processes, and expert meetings convened under the UN umbrella with the best available Sustainable Technology & Innovation reviews, the G-STIC series helps translate technology research into actionable agenda items for sustainable development and climate change policy setting. | 2019-04-20T22:11:20 | https://2018.gstic.org/about-the-g-stic-2018-conference |
In case you haven’t heard, The Macallan just opened a brand new, state-of-the-art distillery, and the Scotch brand’s latest limited edition whisky, the Edition No.4, pays tribute to the craftsmanship and pioneering design work that went into building it.
A project that took three years and six months to complete, the new Macallan distillery enables the production of The Macallan to increase by a third. The design of the distillery itself embodies the master craftsmanship The Macallan is known for, with the roof comprising 1,800 single beams, 2,500 different roof elements and 380,000 individual components, shaping one of the most complicated timber structures in the world.
It is this attention to detail and complexity that embodies the new Edition No.4, the fourth release in the distillery’s innovative Edition Series, Macallan has thus far managed to provide something original and significant with each Edition release. Edition No.1 and Edition No.2 both highlighted the influence each cask has on the taste and flavour of the whisky, while Edition No.3 focused on the aromas of the whisky.
This time around, Edition No.4 concentrates on the structure of the whisky, drawing parallels to how The Macallan Distillery was constructed, and also showcasing the lengths The Macallan goes to when creating single malts.
The Edition No.4 is crafted from a combination of European and American oak casks. European oak sherry-seasoned casks from Tevasa provide the foundation, contributing rich notes of dried fruit and delivering a layer of wood spices and root ginger, while European oak sherry-seasoned casks from Jose y Miguel Martin and Diego Martin Rosado shape the form of the whisky, offering notes of dried fruit, dates and figs.
Then, American oak sherry-seasoned casks from Vasyma balance the structure, imparting vanilla, toffees and butterscotch.
To cap it all off, refill sherry-seasoned oak casks bring out the bright, lively character of citrus fruits, producing a modern flavour profile that is zesty, vibrant and invigorating, bringing to the fore notes of rounded honey, sweet toffee and citrus fruits.
On the nose, the whisky exudes a fragrant fruit basket of flavours ranging from apricots, peaches, figs and raisins, which carries on to the palate, where the fruitiness is layered with the sensual warmth of butterscotch and honey.
With an ABV of 48.4% and a natural colour of burnished copper, Edition No.4 pushes the boundaries of innovation and reflects the passion, traditions and craftsmanship that goes into a bottle of Macallan.
The Macallan Edition No.4 will be priced at RM600 and was recently launched in Malaysia on September 27, 2018.

Casino Room is one of the best-known brands in the online casino industry having been in existence since 1999.
There’s no sportsbook or bingo available making this is a place for pure casino enthusiasts. It offers players a selection of 800 games; ranging from video slots to an HD quality live casino.
Players, past and present, give a glowing account of this experienced operator which is why it has an outstanding customer rating score. We sent our team in to complete a thorough Casino Room review, and now we have all the answers to questions you’ve asked.
Is Casino Room licenced and regulated?
What bonuses and promotions are available at Casino Room?
Do I need a Casino Room bonus code?
What choice of games are available here?
Is there a live casino?
What deposits methods are available at Casino Room?
Can I download a Casino Room mobile app?
What contact options are there?
What would make this casino better?
Does anyone win at Casino Room?
Why should I choose Casino Room?
Yes. Actually, we would never recommend a casino which is not. Casino Room holds licences in three countries. It is licenced and regulated in the UK by the Gambling Commission, plus it has international licences in Malta (MGA) and Curacao.
No Deposit Spins – To begin with, new players can register and claim the 20 no deposit free spins offer. This provides a great opportunity to experience Casino Room before making a financial commitment.
Welcome Bonus – The Casino Room welcome bonus is a 100% matching offer up to £500 on your first deposit plus another 180 free spins.
Existing players praise this casino’s unique loyalty program. It is a space-themed adventure. Players must complete different missions such as playing certain games, logging in on particular days and winning 5 rounds on a set game. Each completed mission earns the player XPs which takes them closer to the next planet where the rewards await. These range from super free spins, real cash bonuses, reload offers and much more.
Further promotions come on a regular basis via email. However, there appears to be no set pattern when players will receive a promotional email so you must keep your eyes open.
To activate the welcome bonus you must make a minimum deposit of £20. There are 45x wagering requirements for both the matching bonus money and winnings from the free spins.
Additionally, the bonus money can only be used to play on a selected library of slots. There is quite a wide choice but still this is a little restrictive if you like table games.
Whilst the welcome offer does not require a Casino Room bonus code, certain email offers do. These are clearly laid-out within the email’s instructions about how to claim the offer presented so it’s very easy to follow.
Unlike several other operators which have a multi-product platform, Casino Room is 100% focused on being an online casino. This strategy has served it well and players can feast on a selection of 800+ games. These come courtesy of some of the online casino gaming industry’s best software providers. They include; NetEnt, Microgaming, Betsoft, NYX, Play’n GO, WMS, Aristocrat, Ygg Drasil, Thunderkick and ELK Studios.
Casino Room can virtually guarantee having a slot that you’ll like given the vast assortment on offer. You have blockbuster video slots like Avalon, Immortal Romance and Game of Thrones. If you prefer something a little more old-school, then check out Break da Bank, Jackpot 6000 and Retro Reels in the classic slot section.
With slots starting from 1 or 2p a spin, you don’t need huge sums of money to get a quality evening’s entertainment from this casino. However, if you want to up the ante, head over to the million pound jackpot games like Arabian Nights, Mega Fortune and Mega Moolah.
Casino Room holds eleven roulette wheels offering different variants of this casino classic. Blackjack fans will be happy with the choice of games, too. There’s also baccarat, Caribbean stud, red dog, Vegas Craps among others.
Most of these games are divided into low-limit and high-limit tables. This caters for the needs of the casual weekend player and the high-roller professionals. Another nice addition to Casino Room is that it has several table games from the Microgaming Gold Series. These have cutting-edge graphics and are widely regarded as the best games on the market.
A healthy array of video poker games such as All American, Joker Wild, Jacks or Better and the famous Deuces Wild are here, too. Whether it be single-hand of 50-hand games, this is the right casino to get your video poker fix.
Yes, there is. The live casino is powered by Evolution Gaming, an award-winning provider, and NetEnt. Players can immerse themselves in HD roulette, blackjack, baccarat, Caribbean stud, casino hold ‘em, 3-card poker and several other excellent live dealer casino games.
Unfortunately, you cannot use the welcome bonus here as that is for slots only. Therefore, you’ll need to contact player support and ask them what promotions are available for live casino players.
Although Casino Room does not provide information from its audits, we know that in order to receive and retain a UKGC licence it must comply to the ethical standards of fair gaming.
Also the MGA has a positive reputation worldwide so it is fair to say that the games here use certified RNG software. This gives every player an equal chance of being the next big winner.
Which deposit methods are available at Casino Room?
For withdrawals, Casino Room states that it reserves the right to charge a withdrawal fee. Whilst we don’t like this, at least the casino is up front so players know where they stand.
Without question, all data is 100% secure at Casino Room. It employs industry standard SSL data encryption technology to ensure this. Also, it has a state-of-the-art firewall to prevent any breaches.
There’s no need. Instead of a Casino Room mobile app, it has opted for a specific mobile domain to host its portable casino. Therefore, as long as you have a touchscreen device (Apple, Android, Blackberry, Kindle, etc) with internet access you can play.
The gaming library is more condensed for mobile players. This is quite common across the board with all operators to be fair. Still, all the top titles can be enjoyed wherever you are. Player support is also with you as is secure banking and a host of other features.
We applaud how easy it is to get in touch with this casino. The easiest way is to utilise the 24/7 player support live chat feature found in the bottom right of every screen. There’s also a 24 hour telephone helpline, email, contact form and Skype (during the day time).
Based on our review, there are a couple of areas which we highlighted for improvement. The wagering requirements on the bonuses are on the high side. We’d like to see these reduced to a more competitive figure.
Also, the gaming menu only displays slots and table games but this casino offers a lot more. There are some fantastic video poker games here but if you don’t know the title or what you are looking for, you’ll struggle to find them. For new players, this isn’t very good in our opinion.
You can find a list of the latest daily winners on the casino’s homepage. Plus, there’s a leaderboard containing the top weekly and monthly winners. You are able to click on the winner’s name and view their mission achievements to see how many XP points they have. So, yes, it’s safe to say there are regular winners here.
There are plenty of reasons why this casino is a popular choice. Firstly, the range of games is more than your average casino. You’ll love the variety! Next, Casino Room has a very good reputation for fast payouts. This is the biggest annoyance of online casino players and yet this operator faces no such complaints. You also have round-the-clock player support, a plethora of banking options and a fun, novel loyalty program.
We’ve provided you with a link right here to sign up. Don’t forget you only need to register to claim the 20 no deposit free spins. Your spaceship is waiting, start your intergalactic adventure at Casino Room today. | 2019-04-25T00:11:12 | https://www.newcasino.site/casino-room/ |

My Desk – 望み – What is that you desire?
I usually spend a good 5 – 6 hours a day at my desk, looking at images 2D and 3D girls, coding and viewing ‘latest’ open source movies (This is inclusive of the time going to the washroom, kitchen to grab a cup of water and maintaining health).
Using the dual monitor layout here, with the macbook pro being my main machine, and with the 22″ monitor connected to it. Very useful when viewing hi-res photos and 2D girls.
And above is of my desk taken one year ago… which was so plain and boring compared to now.

Travel is about more than getting from point A to point B. For many, it’s the pursuit of cultures and traditions thought long-lost to the modern world. Journeying to remote island communities and other destinations well off the beaten track is a chance to interact with locals who are determined to protect their age-old civilizations.
There are a surprising number of destinations around the world that are still yet to be discovered by the masses. Close-knit tribes that have never left their remote villages, age-old folk dances complete with flickering torches of fire, ancient cave paintings and vibrant costumes made from leaves and naturally dyed cloth. Read on to learn about eight fascinating, remote cultures that live on in the face of the sweeping tide of modernity that has taken over much of the planet.
The Annette Island Reserve in Alaska is home to the close-knit Metlakatla Indian Community that consists primarily of Tsimshian people as well as other Alaskan Native tribes.
Traditional rock carvings and paintings set the backdrop for visitors to practice the local Sm’algyax language with volunteers at the Haayk Foundation. Woven costumes and colorful hats illuminate a small stage as musicians play sheepskin drums and sing songs about their ancestors. Nearby, the smell of fresh fish roasting over an open fire offers an insight into life in the wilds of Alaska.
The last thing that people expect to find as they approach one of Australia’s most remote stretches of coastline is an open-air art gallery dating back to ancient times. Caves filled with intriguing Wandjina paintings, which are wholly unique to the northern Kimberley, depict man’s respect for nature, birth and death.
Little is known about the native inhabitants of Kimberley, but the extensive cave paintings are thought to symbolize their beliefs that humans were ancient spirits who could start and stop rainfall. Raft Point’s paintings are the most accessible, but rock paintings on nearby Bigge Island show a European sailing ship coming into harbor, and Jar Island is home to 20,000-year-old stick paintings of men chasing beasts for food.
Only the most adventurous of travelers make it to the Russian Far East. The region’s isolation is perhaps why the area around Okhotsk has been able to preserve its local culture and traditions. Small settlements are home to native inhabitants of the remote wilds of Russia, where locals wear handmade animal skin hats with intricate patterns made with natural plant dyes.
The indigenous people of Okhotsk are known as the Koryaks, and they speak the endangered Koryak language. As traditional reindeer herders, it is a common sight to see hardy local men wearing thick reindeer skin coats during the winter months, as they lead hundreds of reindeer through the snow-covered fields of Okhotsk to new grazing grounds.
The Atacama Salt Flats in Chile is one of the driest places on earth, but according to Expedition Expert Claire Allum, who specializes in Anthropology, humans have thrived there for millennia. There is evidence of small villages on the salt flats dating back to the eighth century B.C., where villagers collected shellfish and fished for food. The ancient Chinchorro people, whose descendants still inhabit the area, were the first civilization in the world to mummify the dead.
Allum describes the small highland town of San Pedro de Atacama. “It’s a quaint town of square adobe buildings and whitewashed churches,” she says. “The town was originally built by the Atacameños around an oasis in this puna desert.” Today, visitors can still see the old pottery and stonework that was left behind.
As an active volcanic island in the Vanuatu archipelago, Ambrym is indeed a mysterious destination to visit. It’s known locally as the island of magic because the locals believe that some men and women possess powers to heal or curse others. On Ambrym, spirits are an essential part of everyday life.
The Solomon Islands are one of the least visited destinations on earth, and the island of Santa Ana (also known as Owaraha) located in the southeast part of the island chain is particularly remote. Santa Ana is renowned for its unique wooden carvings based on local stories and legends that are used in agriculture and fishing. It’s a tradition that dates back generations.
Located just east of New Ireland, Tatau is part of the Tabar Group of islands in Papua New Guinea. The outstanding cultural experience on offer here is the vibrant face and body painting and traditional dancing that the locals showcase for visiting travelers. Guests are treated to performances by men and women whose faces are painted in vibrant yellows, whites, reds and greens, some with large piercings through their ears, lips, and noses and wearing natural leaf and grass skirts. They also open the Malangan house, which houses ancient wooden masks that were used in ceremonies to send the spirits of the deceased from this world into the realm of the dead.
Yap Island is home to the Yapese people, a Micronesian ethnic group that has been influenced over centuries by the Spanish, Japanese, Germans and Americans.
Yap is well-known for its Rai stone money— large stone discs with diameters of up to 12 feet (about 366 centimeters) in diameter that were imported from Palau, some 450 kilometres further south, and used as payment. In fact, they’re still used in some transactions today.
As for the island’s thatched houses, they’re divided between tibnaw family homes, faluw men’s houses and p’ebay community halls where dances and community meetings are held. Permission is needed for visitors to enter the houses. Singular experiences like these are only possible when visiting the most far-flung destinations on Earth. | 2019-04-22T13:13:37 | https://discover.silversea.com/lifestyle/slow-travel/mysteries-of-our-world-8-destinations-to-experience-cultures-thought-lost/ |
SMSF practitioners may need to reassess any anti-detriment payment strategies in place for clients with the government looking to remove the tax refund as part of its tax reform plans, says the SMSF Association.
Speaking to SMSF Adviser, federal member for Deakin Michael Sukkar said he was calling for the anti-detriment payments to be scrapped “following recommendations from the tax reform white paper”.
“The government is considering all options – including integrity measures on superannuation – to deliver a tax reform package to take to the next election that will help Australians work, save and invest,” said Mr Sukkar.
SMSF Association director of technical and professional standards Graeme Colley said it was a positive step by the government given that it is often difficult for SMSFs to fund the anti-detriment payment and that it can inadvertently result in excess concessional contributions.
“It is difficult funding for it in the first place, because you need to set aside monies out of the income of the superannuation fund and that needs to be done over a reasonable period of time to be able to build up your reserves so you can pay the anti-detriment payment,” Mr Colley told SMSF Adviser.
Mr Colley said the anti-detriment strategy requires a lot of planning to enable it to occur and it “may make things easier if it’s taken away”.
“If [practitioners] do recommend anti-detriment payments coming out of the fund, maybe they need to reassess the position and have a look at a recontribution strategy and how that might impact upon the client,” said Mr Colley. | 2019-04-23T08:05:16 | https://www.smsfadviser.com/news/13477-government-looks-to-scrap-anti-detriment-payments |
Sarah & Dave asked me to do their wedding quite some time ago. The day was glorious (for October!) and we had the groom singing as the bridal party walked down the aisle, raucously entertaining groomsmen, autumn colours in the flower arrangements and a staggering amount of time and effort on the part of the couple, with the table decorations beautifully done my themselves, finishing off with a fireworks display. | 2019-04-18T18:30:45 | https://dbrooksphoto.co.uk/DBP/Galleries/20151003-sarah-dave-wedding-kp-club-pocklington/index.htm |
Investments in land have offered an attractive, highly competitive return on investment in the 2000s. You can choose between commercial/development land and farmland.
Commercial/ development land typically offers both a higher return and a higher risk.
Well selected commercial/ development land can appreciate more quickly than farmland.
The hold period often is shorter.
When sold, the appreciated value does not need to trigger a capital gains tax liability. Through a properly run IRS 1031 tax deferred exchange, funds from a land sale can be reinvested tax free.
The higher purchase price commercial/ development land commands.
A lower annual return. The rental rate will likely at the agricultural use level.
Land selection can be more challenging.
High-quality farmland has been recognized as one of the world’s most valuable assets since the beginning of production agriculture. The number of acres of farmland nationwide continues to shrink and will likely never increase.
This long-term asset has outperformed all other asset classes -- stocks, bonds, commercial property -- with the least amount of risk.
As a tangible, physical asset, farmland gives you something to show for your investment. It also produces food, fiber and shelter, which other asset classes cannot. And land never goes out of style as it provides a greater sense of gratification than stocks or bonds.
Farmland offers an attractive place to park cash. Some of the largest fortunes in the world have been made with land investments.
Farmland offers diversification in an investment portfolio.
Farmland provides a hedge against Inflation.

Weak unit revenue trends continue to plague United Airlines.
United Continental shares sank last month on weak Q2 guidance.
What: Airline giant United Continental (NASDAQ:UAL) has taken investors on a wild ride in 2016. The stock plummeted in January along with the rest of the stock market, but bounced back in a big way during February.
However, a big decline in unit revenue during Q1 and a disappointing Q2 outlook tripped up the stock again last month. United Continental shares plummeted 23.5% during April, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
United Continental YTD Stock Performance, data by YCharts.
So what: Airlines have been buffeted by a weak unit revenue environment since early 2015, and United Continental has been among the worst hit. United has the most international exposure of any U.S. airline, and international routes have underperformed recently due to the impact of the strong dollar, falling fuel surcharges, and weak economic conditions in key markets like Brazil.
Last month, United Continental reported that passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) fell 10.5% year over year during Q1 for its international routes. Even in the domestic market, United posted a mid-single-digit PRASM decline, driven by rising competition and weak demand in Houston, the energy capital of the United States.
United Continental still produced margin expansion last quarter, thanks to a sharp reduction in its fuel costs. However, it won't benefit from nearly the same level of fuel savings in the second half of 2016. That's worrisome for investors, because United's unit revenue still shows no signs of turning a corner.
Now what: The sharp drop in United Continental stock since the end of March has left it trading for less than six times the company's projected 2016 earnings. This indicates that a substantial earnings decline is already baked into the share price.
United's management has stated that unit revenue trends look a lot better for the summer and fall due to a combination of targeted capacity cuts, easier comparisons, and new revenue-boosting initiatives. By Q4, the company expects unit revenue to be roughly flat on a year-over-year basis except in the Pacific region.
If United can meet that goal, its stock should recover. However, airline executives have repeatedly underestimated the depth of their revenue challenges over the past year. As a result, United Continental shares will likely remain under pressure until the company can show tangible progress in its revenue recovery. | 2019-04-18T22:35:19 | https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/05/06/why-united-continental-holdings-inc-shares-plunged.aspx |

As a pharmacist, whether you own your business, or work for an independent pharmacy or a large chain, you are a highly trusted – and from the law’s standpoint, a highly regulated – professional. State Boards of Pharmacy license you and govern your conduct on the job, and so, of course, do the D.E.A. and the F.D.A. Not only are you obligated to fill prescriptions accurately, but you are also required to exercise independent judgment about the prescriptions. You are a patient’s advocate and watchdog, in a very critical sense.
And these days, the government in turn is watching you, perhaps very closely. When criminal courts in most counties across the country talk about “drug diversion,” they are referring to counseling and rehabilitation programs designed for first-time drug offenders.
In the pharmacy context, “drug diversion” means something entirely different: It refers to the phenomenon of some pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors “diverting” stocks of prescription painkillers and pain medication to the black market, to street dealers, for illegal profit. As you may know, huge pharmacy chains have had their distribution centers raided by the D.E.A. over concerns about diversion; large pharmaceutical distribution companies have been severely sanctioned and their businesses severely hurt in the wake of investigations into diversion or poor tracking of quantities of Schedule II narcotics.
The degree of investigative attention being paid at the manufacturer and major distributor levels is high, but there is plenty left over for independent pharmacies, and individual pharmacists, to be under the government’s scope right now. Pharmacists are being scrutinized, openly investigated, charged, prosecuted, and administratively sanctioned for suspected diversion, for refilling prescriptions at a rate the government thinks is too often, or for not acting on supposed signs of drug seeking behavior.
Pharmacists need to protect themselves and their businesses from being defined by the government as “part of the problem.” The way to protect yourself and the best chance you have of ultimately prevailing in saving your business, keeping your reputation and license, and sustaining your livelihood is to be prepared on the front-end.
The key is compliance. From D.E.A. and F.D.A. regulations and federal law, to standards of ethics and practice set by your state Board of Pharmacy, to ongoing training on how to know what patients are doing once you hand over the medication, the Meister Law Offices can help you obtain and maintain a state of full compliance with the criminal law governing your store and work.
While pharmacy is science, criminal law compliance is not, and law enforcement’s interpretation of your business practices can be very subjective. Our firm can show you not only what the law requires, but how to most effectively translate that into best practices, and help show anyone scrutinizing you that yours is a business deserving of high praise for its cultural and operational adherence to the law. | 2019-04-25T00:02:13 | http://www.painkillerlaw.com/criminal-law-compliance-for-pharmacists/ |

Most people know how to work a plunger and to pour chemicals down a clogged drain during cleaning. But at times these methods won’t be very helpful. If your drain remains clogged or perpetually re-clogs after trying these methods, something unusual was flushed down the drain. This means that you need proper technique to unblock your drains. For cases that you can’t solve, it’s wise to call in a contractor for plumbing in Palm Desert CA.
When a liquid drain cleaner fails to take care of the clog, the best option will be physical drain cleaning. You can also use a plumbing snake to get rid of the clog. If your sink is clogged, you should try to clean the trap and also feeding the plumbing snake into the drain. If you are still experiencing this problem, you may consider using a power auger that will move effectively and cut through the clog. However, it is advisable to use this equipment if you have some knowledge on plumbing in Palm Desert CA in order to prevent further damage to the draining system.
Many companies for plumbing in Palm Desert CA don’t want you to know that there are some situations when the use of drain cleaning chemicals is unnecessary. To unclog the grain using home-made methods, many homeowners use vinegar and baking soda or boiling water and baking soda. If hair has clogged your drains, you may try unclogging the drain using a hair removal product. Regularly cleaning and maintaining your drains will prevent odour and keep the drains in good condition. One thing you should never do is to mix different drain cleaners. Some of these chemicals can react with other compounds thus causing damage to the pipes.
Well, if you are forced to call in professional plumbers, the cost of service will need to be taken into account. On average, the cost of hiring a professional plumber is $251. However, it is important to do some research before deciding on a plumber to hire.

Sorry, but a laser printer won’t work here because of the way in which ink is used. Although you can always give it a try!
It also helps if the paper is run through the printer in a straight path, rather than a path that curves back on itself. This isn’t required but it almost should be because a straight path really helps to keep the fabric paper from jamming.
The most important thing is to load the paper properly. For some printers, this means loading the paper with the fabric side down; for other printers, you load it with the fabric side up. Check your printer manual for help or run a test sheet of paper through the printer to double-check if you’re not sure.
Another thing you might want to know about your printer is whether or not it uses waterproof ink (pigmented ink rather than dye-based ink). If it does, you can use regular fabric for printing because your inks won’t run. To test this, print something on paper then moisten your finger and rub it across the printing. If it doesn’t smear than your ink is waterproof.
Note: Your printer may use waterproof ink for black but not for the colors, so you may experience fading with some of your inks and not others.
There are many commercial fabrics you can buy for printing. All of them are designed for use in your ink jet printer. These fabrics have been stabilized with paper on the back so you can load them into your printer without jamming. You can find fabric for printing in your local quilt store or online. Here are a few types.
Note that you can also find commercially prepared fabric sheets on 8-1/2” rolls. I love these because I can cut them to the size I need and not waste the fabric. After cutting the roll fabric to size, I simply tape it to a piece of paper and run that through my printer. Works like a charm!
There are also commercially prepared fabric sheets in non-cotton, such as these organza sheets. Aren’t they wonderful?
You can prepare your own fabric using a commercial product called Bubble Jet Set. After printing, you fix the ink by using Bubble Jet Rinse. I’ve used both of these products with great success. Be sure to purchase the type of Bubble Jet Set you need for your printer!
There are homemade recipes on the internet for making your own Bubble Jet Set using washing soda (not baking soda), fabric softener, and Alum; I haven’t used this recipe though and have no idea how well it work.s Likewise, there are some on the internet that suggest using a vinegar rinse to set your ink but for many this does not work. I suspect it all depends on your printer and the ink it uses.
Personally, I’ve had best results with commercially prepared fabric sheets versus the ones I’ve prepared myself—less fading and no smearing after washing. If you don’t plan on washing your finished item, you could try just printing on high quality cotton and heat setting it with an iron, but you will still get fading. Personally though I’ve never had the results run when I’ve tried this so it’s relatively safe although you should test it before using unprepared cotton for printing.
If you use commercially prepared fabric sheets, they will come stabilized with paper on the back. After printing you peel off the paper and your fabric is ready to use after you’ve set the ink following the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you’re using your own prepared fabric, you can stabilize it easily by fusing it to the back of freezer paper. Simply place the freezer paper, shiny side down on the back of your fabric and iron it with a medium hot iron. Then cut the fabric sheet to a size appropriate for running through your printer (such as 8-1/2” x 11”). Use your rotary cutter for this; you don’t want any stray threads along the edges of the paper that might jam your printer.
If needed, iron the edges of the fabric paper right before printing. It’s important that the freezer paper has adhered completely or it might jam when printing.
Tip: You can purchase freezer paper sheets precut in 8-1/2” x 11” size. I find these really easy to use!
Tip: You can fuse a double-sided paper (such as Heat n Bond) to the back of your fabric to stiffen it. The advantage here is that your printed fabric is immediately ready for fusing if that is your intention. In addition, since the paper fusible is fused to the back of your fabric you won’t run into any problems with it coming off the fabric at the edges (as with freezer paper). You probably have some double-sided fusible in your sewing room right now, whereas you might not have any freezer paper so this might be your “good to go” option.
If you want to print a photo onto fabric, use a higher resolution image (200 to 300 pixels) for best results.
When printing your image on fabric, be sure to select High print quality, Standard printing. I know, some people say to use Photo printing but the problem for me is that too much ink is used and it just seems to smear on the fabric. So I choose Standard/ Vivid or High Quality.
You might want to choose Grayscale if you’re only printing text; use the regular Color settings if you’re printing something in color.
Remember to run a test paper first so you’ll know how to load your fabric sheet. Than load it fabric right side up or right side down depending on your test results. Load only one fabric sheet at a time. Stay near while printing so you can stop the printer if it jams. Now that your image is printed, it’s time to set the ink.
With commercially prepared fabric sheets, you should always follow the manufacturer’s directions for setting the ink after printing. Typically, this involves waiting a bit (such as an hour or two) then heat setting the fabric with a hot iron.
With fabric you’ve prepared yourself using Bubble Jet Set, use Bubble Jet Rinse to set the ink. You’ll still experience some fading but results are pretty good especially if you use the right Bubble Jet Set for your type of printer.
If you wish, you can rinse your fabric after it is set in cool water and then let it dry. This should remove any excess inks, making it safe for use in a quilt.
A quilter’s knot is a simple and easy knot you can make at the end of a piece of thread or floss. Use a quilter’s knot to secure your stitching, whether you’re trying to hand quilt, bind, or sew down a sleeve on a quilt. A quilter’s knot is also useful when adding embroidery to your quilted pieces.
1. wrap the thread or floss around your needle three times.
Cut a piece of thread or floss about 18” long. Thread your needle. Use a needle threader or a self-threading needle to help you.
Hold the threaded needle in your left hand. Pinch the end of the thread/floss under your left thumb. With your right hand, wrap the end of the thread/floss three times around the needle.
Use your right hand to gently pull the needle up, holding tight to the wrapped threads under your left thumb. The wrapped threads will slide down the rest of the thread/floss, eventually forming a quilter’s knot at the end of the thread/floss.
Your stitches won't show if you use the applique (blind) stitch to attach a quilt sleeve, label, binding, or applique.
Make your quilt ready for a show by adding a 4" sleeve. | 2019-04-26T06:29:56 | http://www.inquiringquilter.com/tutorialblog/category/Quilt+Making |

Pejorative Labeling: Be Specific and Accurate.
Pejorative labels are false because they reflect a global negative judgment focused only on a single characteristic or behavior that is exaggerated or distorted. Pejorative labels are presented in absolute terms as if they capture the core or substance of that which is labeled. No one is a “jerk” or a “loser.” We are human beings and sometimes we act foolishly and sometimes we loose competitions. In all fields of knowledge labels are employed to capture and signify pervasive, enduring and essential traits and qualities, and great care is exercised not to mistake the map for the territory.
Minimization is a form of Denial that impairs our ability to recognize and work on our problems; or conversely, to appreciate the implications and gravity of the problems of someone else. Once we have identified a problem we need to be honest in weighing its significance in order to find the motivation to overcome it.
Disqualifying the Positive: Uphold the Positive.
Going way beyond the virtues of modesty and humility to undermine self-esteem and self-respect. Learn to accept a compliment and pat yourself on the back for your better traits and a job well done.
I’m Unique: Nobody is Special/Equality.
You are a human being just like all other human beings. You have the same physiological body systems and the same psychological structures. People understand you better than you think (and often better than you understand yourself). Give conventional wisdom a chance. Give programs and those in the helping profession a chance.
Vagueness: Be Precise and Clear.
Vagueness is a way of being avoidant of commitment and of consequences. It can also represent laziness. The key to overcoming Vagueness is to calculate numerical values. Provide an exact number when asked how much you smoke. Give a definite date when asked when you stopped smoking. Name distinct emotions when asked how you feel. Review and clarify your responsibilities daily.
Polarized Thinking: Think in Shades of Gray, Percentages.
Stop making black and white judgments. Stop thinking in “either/or” terms. People are neither good or bad, angry or serene, loving or rejecting, smart or stupid. They fall somewhere along a continuum. Human beings are too complex to be reduced to dichotomous judgments. Try not to fall into the trap of making these kinds of ratings; and when you do, think in terms of percentages. “He is selfish 40% of the time and generous 60% of the time.
Filtering: Shift the Focus, No Need to Magnify.
Filtering constitutes a kind of mind set, or being stuck in a groove. Learn to shift the focus to the elements that you typically ignore. Rather than focusing on the things that anger you or frighten you, shift your attention to the things that meet your approval or that comfort you. When you are Filtering you tend to magnify your problems. Instead of thinking: “Crowds are scary and I can’t tolerate them”, focus on the aspects of crowds that provide safety and say, “I can cope”.
Overgeneralization: Evidence for Conclusions – There Are No Absolutes.
Critically evaluate your evidence for your conclusions. If the conclusion is based on one or two instances, one small mistake, a single symptom, or one or two cases, then throw it out until you have more proof. Even a long pattern in the past does not necessarily predict the future. Just because your last three boyfriends cheated on you does not mean that this one will. He is a different person. A better indicator would be if he cheated on his last three girlfriends. Overgeneralizations are absolutes (e.g., all husbands cheat on their wives). Stop using words like “every”, “all”, “always”, “none”, “never”, “everyone”, and “nobody”. Instead use words like “may”, “sometimes”, and “often”.
Mind Reading: Can You Really Know?
Mind reading is the tendency to make assumptions about how people feel and think, and what their motivations and intentions are. In the long run, you are probably better off making no inferences or assumptions about people at all. Either believe what they tell you or hold no belief at all until some conclusive evidence arises. Treat all your notions about other people as hypotheses to be checked out by asking them. Most importantly, recognize your inferences as your own projections, your own assumption-beliefs.
10. What Will People Think?: They’re Not Thinking about Me.
No one is so clairvoyant that they are able to discern if and what other people are thinking about them. This is really a fairly egocentric (childish) preoccupation. You are not the center of other people’s attention. In childhood and adolescence it is typical to be concerned what others might be thinking about you. By middle age most people do not really care if, or what, other people think of them. By old age people tend to recognize that other people were not thinking about them at all.
11. Catastrophizing: Can I take Action? Realistic Odds.
Catastrophizing is generating fear just for the sake of it. Fear does not help. Fear impairs your ability to think rationally and to act definitively. Fear also attracts: if you are afraid of the dog, it will harass you. However, it never hurts to be prepared for a rainy day. If you are Catastrophizing about an earthquake, you can store canned food, water, batteries, radio, crow bar, etc., learn how to turn off the water main and the gas main, and you can determine the best places to get under in the event of a quake. Always ask yourself if there is some action that you can take to prepare for that which you fear. If there is, then do it. If there is not, then reframe your thinking using this rational comeback. Also ask yourself what are the odds of the catastrophe that you fear actually taking place today, and arm yourself with statistics. In the San Francisco Bay area there have been two earthquakes in 89 years that resulted in the loss of life.
12. Worrying: Shift Your Focus – Take Action.
Wringing your hands is not a solution or help to any situation. Rather than worry about what you will do when your Unemployment runs out, take action and make constructive plans. Look for another job, get some training, go back to school. If you are worried because your son is late coming back with the car, engage yourself in something else. Find something positive to occupy your attention. If he is unusually late, call the police or call around to locate him.
13. Fear Rehearsal: Prepare For Success.
When you rehearse fear and failure, contemplate potential obstacles, constantly seek solutions, problem solve, and question your ability to cope, you decrease your chances of achieving your goals. Imagine and mentally rehearse success to improve your chances of getting what you rehearse.
14. What Ifs: Can I Take Action? Magnify To the Point Of Absurdity Realistic Odds.
15. Personalization: Check it out.
Comparisons Are Subjective. If you have a tendency to personalize things, force yourself to prove the assumptions that you make by checking them out. Your boyfriend’s frustration, your boss’s frown, the quiet when you enter the room, or whatever it is, may have nothing to do with you. Check it out. Even if the other person tells you that their emotion is in response to you, there is no need to take it on and make it your problem. Comparing yourself to others is a highly opinionated endeavor. Unless you are simply measuring to see who is taller or counting to see has more freckles, there is no standard of accuracy. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Your worth does not depend on your being better than others.
16. Blaming: I Am Responsible.
It is your responsibility to assert your needs, say no, and go elsewhere. The other person is not responsible for knowing or helping you meet your needs. No one else can really be at fault if you, a responsible adult, are distressed or unhappy. Focus on the choices you have made that created the situation. Examine what options you have now for coping with it. There is a difference between taking responsibility and turning the blame on yourself. Taking responsibility means accepting the consequences of your own choices. Blaming yourself means attacking your own self-esteem and labeling yourself bad if you make a mistake.
17. Control Fallacies: I Am Responsible – Each One is Responsible.
Aside from natural disasters and criminal victimization, you are responsible for what happens in your world. You make it happen. If you are unhappy there are specific choices you have made, and continue to make that have the byproduct of unhappiness. You usually achieve in life whatever your top priority is. For example, if security is your top priority, you may have it at the expense of passion and excitement. You may long for excitement but security was the top priority. Ask yourself, “What choices have I made that resulted in this situation? What decisions can I make now to change it?” The omnipotence fallacy is the other side of the coin from the external control fallacy. Instead of everyone else being responsible for your problems, you believe that you are responsible for everyone else’s problems. The key to overcoming the omnipotence fallacy is to recognize that each one is responsible for himself. There is a difference between generosity and slavish adherence to a conviction that you have to help everybody. Part of respecting others includes letting them live their own lives, suffer their own pain, and live their own lives.
18. Fallacy of Fairness: Preference vs. Fairness.
Outside of a court of law, the concept of fairness is too dangerous because it is too subjective (i.e., a matter of opinion). The word fair is a nice disguise for personal preferences and wants. What you want is fair, what the other person wants is bogus. Be honest with yourself and the other person. Say what you want or prefer without dressing it up in the fallacy of fairness. The world is not fair, has never been fair, and will likely never be fair. Consider this: less then a fraction of one percent of the population of the planet owns more then ninety percent of the wealth. If the world were fair then this couldn’t possibly happen.
19. ShouIds: Flexible Rules Everyone has a Different Set.
Re-examine and question any person rules or expectations that include the words should, ought, must, have to, or shouldn’t. Flexible rules and expectations don’t employ these words because there are always exceptions and special circumstances. Think of at least three exceptions to your rule, and then imagine all of the exceptions there must be that you cannot think of. Everyone has their own set of “shoulds” that are different from yours and equally valid (or invalid). Learn to respect diversity. Learn to communicate directly. Do not assume that because you cooked your guest should automatically jump up and wash the dishes without prompting, and then become resentful when this does not happen. Your guest may believe that the host should do everything. If you want your guest to wash the dishes, then ask them to.
20. Emotional Reasoning: Feelings Can Lie.
What you feel is entirely dependent upon what you think. If you have distorted thoughts, your feelings won’t have validity. Your feelings can lie to you. In fact, if you are feeling depressed or anxious all the time, it’s almost certain that they are lying to you. There is nothing sacred or automatically true about what you feel. If you feel unattractive or you feel foolish and embarrassed, you tend to believe yourself ugly or a fool. But stop a minute. Maybe it isn’t true and you are suffering for nothing. Be skeptical about your feelings and examine them as you would a used car.
21. Fallacy of Change: I Can’t Change Other People My Happiness is My Responsibility.
When you try to push people to change, you are asking them to be different so you can be happy. The assumption is that your happiness is in some way dependent on them and on how they behave. Your happiness depends on you and on each of the decisions you make. You have to decide whether to leave or to stay, say yes or no, stay with one job or find another. You cannot make another person change; and if they do change due to the pressure you exert, they are likely to resent you and to relapse to their old ways.
22. Being Right: Active Listening.
If you always have to be right, you don’t listen (or empathize) because listening might lead you to conclude that you are wrong sometimes. The key to overcoming being right is active listening. As an active listener you participate in communication by repeating what you think you heard in order to make sure you really understand what’s been said to you. This process helps two people who disagree to appreciate each others point of view. A proportionately greater amount of time is spent trying to understand the other person than in devising your own rebuttals and arguments. Other people believe what they are saying as strongly as you believe in your convictions, and that there is not always one right answer. Focus on what you can learn from the other person’s opinion.
23. Heaven’s Reward Fallacy: The Reward is Now.
This distorted thinking style accepts pain and unhappiness because those who do “good” are rewarded in the end. But if doing good means you are doing things you don’t want to do and sacrificing things you resent giving ‘ up, then you are likely to reap no reward at all. You’ll become so bitter and unhappy that people will steer clear of you. In reality, the reward is now. Your relationships, your progress toward your goals, and the care you give to the people you love should be intrinsically rewarding. Most days, your emotional bank balance should be in the black. If you are drained, running in the red ink for days or weeks at a time, something is wrong. You need to arrange your activities to provide some here-and-now reward, dropping or sharing the activities that drain you. It is part of your responsibility to those you care about not to do things that will lead you to feel resentful. Remember that you would not want others doing things for you that they didn’t want to. If you have difficulty saying no, practice assertiveness and clarify your boundaries. | 2019-04-25T18:21:10 | https://www.larrytunis.com/antidotes-to-distorted-thinking/ |
In Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion of the Christ, as Jesus was hanging on the cross and dying, he had vivid flash backs. There is no biblical evidence for these flashbacks; but Hebrews 12.2 tells us a bit about the psychological state of our savior as he was dying.
What was in the mind of Jesus as he approached the cross? The answer to this question contains a wonderful spiritual exercise that will help you cope with the most difficult of circumstances.
Hebrews 12.2 … looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Let me make the following observations.
Jesus focused on the joy of doing God’s will and future blessings. The words for the joy set before him show us that utmost in Jesus mind was the joy of what was set before him. Surely this included the completion of the work of reconciliation that he had come to do. Jesus came to accomplish salvation for our eternal benefit and for the glory of his Father in heaven. Jesus had the joy of knowing that he would completely obey and delight his Father. He had the joy of knowing that he would purchase his people for his own possession. His joy is the joy of heaven over every sinner that repents and returns to the Father.
Jesus endured the cross. This shows us that Jesus’ death on the cross was central to his coming to earth. His death at Calvary explains his birth at Bethlehem. Jesus came to die, to offer his life as a ransom for sinners. He did not have to come and he did not have to die. It was in his power, if he chose, not to suffer at all. But for our sakes, he was crucified. He became a curse for us, as it is written, cursed is any man hung on a tree. Jesus endured the cross for sinners like you and like me.
Jesus reaped the rewards: He is seated at the right hand of God. Jesus did not remain on the cross. He died on the cross; his dead body was placed in a grave. He remained dead for three days and then he arose from the grave, was seen by his followers and finally ascended into heaven, where he now sits at the right hand of the Father. Because of his sufferings, he received the glory of the resurrection.
Reap the rewards: If we share in Christ’s sufferings, we will also share in his glory. Suffering always comes before glory.
Christian, recognize this. Faith has a future focus! Look to Jesus, not only as your savior, but see him as an example for handling hardships.
Look to Jesus and be forgiven. He who knew no sin became sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Jesus endured intense agony and shame for sinners. He died to purchase forgiveness for all who will come to him. Come to him now. And then live for him by following his example.
Thanks Kip for your own example and reminder. When I saw Gibson’s movie, I went alone and literally trembled , like the old spiritual says We’re you there when they crucified my Lord. God continue to bless you and Judy.
Thanks, Kip. As always, this is an excellent devotional and sermonette! | 2019-04-22T04:17:37 | http://hopeforkip.com/the-passion-of-christ-and-your-problems/ |

Dropping the bomb. How to ban nukes and save the planet.
We are, it hardly needs reiterating, correct to be fearful of the threat climate change poses to this generation and those that follow. The reality, however, is that the Sword of Damocles of nuclear warfare remains poised above us all, suspended by nothing more substantial than a few desultory international agreements. These agreements, as Geoffrey Robertson argues in his outstanding book Mullahs Without Mercy, will in all likelihood not prevent Iran, Saudi Arabia or even Egypt starting up their own nuclear arsenals in the near future. That’s to say nothing of a long-touted ‘African bomb’, or the possibility that terrorist groups could get their hands on fissile materials and missile hardware on a burgeoning black market. Any one of these eventualities could, at the minimum, result in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, widespread destruction of housing and infrastructure, and long-term environmental devastation. Let us not forget that as early as 1952, the United States was successfully testing thermonuclear devices over 500 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. The B61 device, a keystone of the US’s current stockpile of around 5000 weapons, can have a yield as high as 340 kilotons – twenty times more powerful than Little Boy.
There is no doubt that Benjamin Netanyahu’s bizarre shadow play at the United Nations, and the recent antics of North Korea’s Supreme Leader, have succeeded in refocusing the world’s attention on the issue of nuclear weapons. We know, however, little about Tehran’s true progress in producing deployable weapons, and that at present no missile fired from Pyongyang is capable of hitting targets in the West. These are no red herrings – indeed, Geoffrey Robertson has argued that Kim Jong-un should be tried in the Hague for his threat to use a nuclear bomb alone – but the danger is hardly confined to the posturing and provocations of a couple of internationally reviled and isolated despots.
The vast bulk of the world’s nuclear arsenal – over 22,000 devices – is still in the possession of the United States and Russia. Many of these weapons can be readied and fired in minutes and, despite safeguards, the prospect of a nuclear exchange being triggered by computer or human error remains conceivable. So, too, does a nuclear exchange inaugurated not by a member of the ‘Axis of Evil’, but by a chief ally of the United States; despite its frequent excoriations of the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea, the US tacitly approves of Israel’s undeclared stockpile of bombs, one or more of which may well be used in the not-too-distant future to pre-emptively attack Tehran.
The bottom line in all this is clear, doubly so in an era when the idea of nuclear deterrence has been leapfrogged by the realities of proliferation in the post-Cold War era: any number of nuclear weapons in the world is too many. It would be a cruel thing indeed if, amidst the bitter struggle to avert environmental catastrophe at the hands of climate change, we were wiped out by another existential menace, one that has been living with us for seventy years.

I have been working over the last decade in the Web development world. I founded and lead-developed Jappix, and provided Jappix development services to clients around the globe.
About Jappix, an older project of mine, it is an XMPP Web-client that I founded, which is one amongst other XMPP clients to implement the highest number of XEP (XMPP extensions). I also worked on implementing a client-side bridge library for the XMPP Jingle protocol, using WebRTC.
Worked on bridging WebRTC with the XMPP Jingle protocol, which got me to know WebRTC and its boundaries very well, not only from a developer's point of view, but also from a technically focused (standards and technical details for the tuning of call negotiation, ...).
I can help you understand, scale and improve your WebRTC stack. I am also open to freelance development, if your needs are beyond a consulting call.
I can answer technical questions on very specific WebRTC setup needs (NAT traversal, quirks, bridging to SIP, XMPP systems, ...).
ES6, with an improved syntax, class definition, Promises, Proxies (used for code introspection upon runtime), iterators (ensuring great performance when looping over large datasets), as well as arrow-functions.
If you are working on a large Django website project, the knowledge I built over time developing and maintaining Waaave, a Django-powered social network may be helpful to you.
I can help you on general questions about Django, as well as more specialized ones, such as how to ensure a good project structure, or how to test your code with Django-compatible testing framework. Questions about production deployment can be also covered (best practices, security, scalability and performance).
Founded Jappix, the most used Web-based XMPP client. Jappix Lead Developer over the last 5 years.
Also, worked on specifying new XMPP Extensions (aka XEP).
I can help you understand or shape your XMPP needs, whether it be in the choice of the protocol for scalable real-time messaging, or in your use of the protocol.
If you are wondering whether the choice of XMPP as a protocol, is well-suited for your project, ask me and we will sort things out. XMPP may be the best choice available in some cases, but may not in certain boundary cases. Let's discuss that! | 2019-04-26T14:21:20 | https://clarity.fm/valeriansaliou |
Stretch needlecord five-pocket straight leg with pewter trims and pocket stitching.
The pants were beautiful, but as I’ve gotten older my waist and hips are closer to the same size. These were lovely, but while a 6 fits well in Columbia and Eddie Bauer, I definitely needed an 8 in LTS. And of the 3 pair of pants that I bought, there were no 8’s in 34” long. I couldn’t find any straight leg cords in my Size.
the Cord is so fine they look like velvet. I love them, such a good fit.

I already had a pair of these in beige and loved them although the beige ones were described as cord jeans whereas these are described as cord trousers so I was thrilled to seen the black version on sale and at the sale price they are excellent value. They fit me perfectly and I would buy more if they came in different colours. Only niggle is leg width they are slightly wider than the beige version - could they leg width be included in the description in future please!

It is so hard to find slacks that are long enough. Great casual/workplace slack for the winter.
I think I now have 3 pairs of these black cord straight trousers. I love them and find I can wear them for any occasion.
Rhamona would recommend this product to a friend.
Super comfortable and fit well. Stretchy but not enough for them to go baggy after a few wears.
I bought the tan cords in the fall and loved them so much that I decided to purchase the black ones too. However, I should have looked at the label before ordering again as I mistakenly bought a size smaller than my previous pants. The black cords are wearable, but really too snug for me right now. I would say that they are true to size for someone who is a size 10!
Bought in sale, otherwise a bit pricey.
Ggm would recommend this product to a friend.
Can be dressed up or down. Versatile pair of trousers.
bought in both Sand and Black. Some reviews said these pants were too small. It depends on your body type ... tall and thin? these will fit you, there is not a lot of tummy or thigh room. The waist is high, like some comments said, so make sure you like that type of fit before ordering.
This fit well for a slim, tall gal. Many LTS pants look like riding jodhpurs on me as I'm not at all hippy. These are close but comfortable fitting.
Very nice cord. Fits true to size if you have a tall slender body type. If you need any tummy room, these pants are not for you. They are high waisted, so you will have to like that as well. I loved them so much, I bought them in black as well. Very comfortable, can be dressed up or down.
Overall, a pretty straight forward basic cord. Nice fit with a little extra room. Will be good to add as a staple to my wardrobe.
Lovely cordoruy and great length, but these definitely run smaller than other LTS pants! I'm normally an 8 here, 10 elsewhere, and the 10 is actually too small, particularly in the waist. They fit great everywhere else, so I think a 12 would be too big. Going back, sadly.
Le matériel est très beau, et c'est un très beau beige. Super confortable. Garde sa forme toute la journée. J'adore ces pantalon, j'ai également commandé les noirs. J'ai commandé la grandeur 6 et la longueur 36, c'est parfait pour moi. (Au Québec je porte des jeans grandeur 29 ou 30). J'aimerais aussi qu'ils soient disponibles en couleur marine.

Love the length and soft fabric.
The trousers fit true to size and are very comfortable. I put them on and the leg length was great for me. Waist was comfortable also. Haven't washed them yet but so far very nice fabric and so far no baggy stretched out knees.

The advertised (Catalogue & Online modelled ) picture shows a slim fitting cord trouser. In reality it is a STRAIGHT LEG with some width ..... unlike the modelled pair ..... it is advertised as straight leg , it is a straight leg !!!! not the slim fit in the photograph ...... feeling misled ..... I have kept these trousers for country walks in winter ...... not as a fashion wear (no way). I wear size 16 Jeans ...... I had to return it and order a size18.
Irene Litster would recommend this product to a friend.
Waist was way too high, which was not indicated inproduct description. I am usually a size 8 with all your other products but this one was too small.
Danielle Vernon would recommend this product to a friend.
I was looking for a slim cord trouser fit (not Skinny , not full leg) ...... The description of this item (straight leg) was accurate ...... the advertised picture shows a slim fit on the model ...... the reality is MUCH wider !!! I have kept these trousers for country walks only ....... I will not wear them for "fashion" ...... disapointed !
Having got used to always ordering something from LTS a size smaller than my normal size (I'm a 12 and always order a 10), it was disappointing to find that these were far too tight and a REAL size 10. Had to be returned and will be interesting to see if a 12 fits.
Jullie Trim would recommend this product to a friend.
Virginia Wilcox would recommend this product to a friend.
I got the black trousers this morning and for me they are the perfect fit. I normally I wear a 36 inch length, this time I ordered a 38 inch, having read that they might be a little bit short. I made the right choice. The 38 is a little bit long, but what a wonderfull feeling if you are a tall girl: "very long" trousers. This occurs once in a lifetime. I also do like the fine rib cord.
You do need an hourglass figure for these, needless to say mine went back. They would have been ideal otherwise.

He calls us to diligence and mindfulness, to perpetual and continuous watchfulness.
That is what it means to be in the way.
The way of loving service is never ending, so long as we are engaged in it, we are living in the garden.
Love is love, hope is hope, and trust is trust…to live out the faith means being faithful, to actively trust in the goodness, the mercy and the justice of God, the creator of the universe.
To live in a state of hope, requires only that would hope, that we extend the hope we have for ourselves, for our friends, for our families, so that the same hope covers the stranger in your midst, the person who owes you money, the person to whom you are indebted, even your enemies.
To be in love, you must be loving.
Stay awake, be mindful, keep the lamp lit.
The way is like a great river; it is flowing, flowing all the time. | 2019-04-21T14:10:16 | http://www.jaybotten.com/2017/12/a-homily-mark-1333-37.html |

Jeff Herrin, who was the editor of the Rocky Mount Telegram and The Tarboro Weekly, died Monday. He was 60 years old.
Herrin worked at the Telegram for 25 years and made a large impact on his co-workers and the region he served. Taking over the Telegram in 1993, he re-invented the newspaper’s content and coverage as well as the way the newsroom operated on a daily basis. He also created The Tarboro Weekly, providing the town of Tarboro with a local news source that it had been lacking.
"He demanded the highest degree of fairness, objectivity and journalistic ethics from his staff, while at the same time creating a truly fun and creative environment that brought out the best work from his team, current Telegram editor Gene Metrick said about Herrin. “After working under Jeff for nearly 20 years, I now strive every day to continue and build upon what he set into motion — and believe me, that's not easy to do."
Co-workers listened to Bruce Springsteen all week to commemorate Herrin, who loved Springsteen’s music. Many will miss Herrin’s friendship and the mentor he was.
Herrin began his journalism career at the High Point Enterprise as a sports writer. After a decade at the Enterprise, he became an editor. Then, he became the managing editor of the Opelika Auburn News in Alabama before becoming editor of The Evening Telegram, which would later become the Rocky Mount Telegram. He stayed at the Telegram until he retired last year.
Herrin filled the pages of the Telegram with stories about municipal government, schools, crime and business news. He focused on publishing community news with a people-first focus. The sports department grew, and the paper flourished under his supervision.

I realize that the vast majority of you aren't interested in what we did more than a month ago. However, there are like 11 of you who are. Family people.
And you 11 people have been denied the story of Nathaniel's run in the High Country 5K for six weeks now. As it turns out, when one's mother goes to Hawaii for a week, one's mother's blog gets turned upside-down for an indeterminate amount of time and may never catch up again.
What's that you ask? How does one week in Hawaii equate to suddenly being six weeks behind on blog posts?
Although I ran the 5K with Nathaniel and Nick last year, my lack of training this year led me to the decision that I might die if I did it this year. Like actually die. But Nathaniel still wanted to do it on his own, and he was thrilled that his friend and classmate Alex was doing it, too. So they decided to run together.
"Isn't Alex a regular runner?" I asked. "Isn't Alex really physically fit?" I asked. "Doesn't Alex run pretty fast?" I asked.
Yes, yes, yes, Nathaniel answered.
There were lots of runners out there bright and early as Jake and I stood on the sidelines to cheer them on at the starting line that crisp Saturday morning in April.
When the cap gun went off right at 8 a.m., they took off at a brisk pace.
Funnily enough, I took two random pictures of the runners up close as they took off. In this one I happened to catch the 5K's eventual first-place finisher (whom I don't know), #151 in the blue tank.
And in this one, I happened to catch Nathaniel, just to the right of the girl in the neon yellow shirt. I had no idea where he was in the crowd, so that was just dumb luck.
Jake was really excited up to the point where the runners got out of sight. Then he was like, "What do we do now, Mommy."
He was not terribly pleased when I answered, "We wait about 45 minutes for Nathaniel to get back."
I spent the next 30 minutes answering him when he asked, "How much longer NOW?"
I was utterly SHOCKED when Nathaniel appeared over the last hill at about the 32-minute mark. Last year he finished in 41 minutes, which I thought was pretty good. This year he was so far ahead of that time that I almost missed him coming in!
My surprise at seeing him immediately changed to concern when I saw how exhausted he looked. I wondered why in the world he'd pushed himself so hard ... he looked like he was going to collapse or be sick at any second.
He may not look ill to you, but he looked really ill to me. I was yelling encouraging words to him, running alongside him as he jogged the last 50 yards to the finish line, hoping he wouldn't fall down.
I had assumed he wouldn't stay with Alex -- THE SUPER-RUNNER -- the whole race. But he did.
That's Alex in the citron shirt right in front of him.
As it turned out, Alex slowed his own pace down to stay with Nathaniel, and Nathaniel sped his pace up to stay with Alex. Awww.
That led to Nathaniel finishing eight minutes ahead of his 2012 time, and to Alex finishing who-knows-how-much slower.
As Nathaniel crossed the finish line, he veered sharply to the right, leaned against a telephone pole, fell to his knees and threw up in the grass for over a minute.
I'm sure that was super-healthy.
But within three minutes he was up, smiling and ready to rehydrate.
Here's proud Nathaniel (and I'm just now noticing he's still holding the baby wipe I gave him to wipe the spittle away from his face) with perturbed Jake.
Jake really expected balloon animals and a free breakfast. Not 30 minutes of standing around waiting, only to watch his brother throw up.
But, good times! See? This is what you waited six weeks for.
Fine. Form a line over there behind Jake. | 2019-04-20T05:15:54 | http://www.grass-stains.com/2013/05/high-country-5k.html |

Building a class E transmitter is not particularly difficult, however there are some tools, both electronic and otherwise, that you will need to have. It will be difficult, although not impossible, to build a class E transmitter without an oscilloscope. You need to have access to a good 50 mHz or better oscilloscope! You will need a decent 'scope to really ensure that your transmitter is working correctly, and for testing various parts of the transmitter as construction proceeds.
Class E transmitters generally contain heavy conductive buses, usually made of copper. These are very hard to solder without a lot of heat. You will need to have a very heavy duty soldering gun. I tend to recommend the Weller D650 industrial soldering gun. It's heavy duty, and produces enough heat to solder any drain, gate or source bus I've created so far.
Drills, taps and dies. You will need a drill with an assortment of bits. A tap and die set is really nice. Tapping holes into heat sinks for mounting of MOSFETs and transistors is a little time consuming, but it sure makes things easier in the long run with respect to mounting devices.
A Variac (variable autotransformer) is strongly recommended for bringing things for the first time, and for making adjustments while testing. It can save many many hours of time.
Of course, you will need the normal assortment of tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, pliars, etc), and at least one, if more, volt-ohm-milliampmeter(s).
Class E transmitters, like most high power RF amplifiers, require some large RF components. The RF tank coil should be made out of very heavy wire. For transmitters up to 400 watts or so, coils for 40 meters should be made from #4 bare copper or copper tubing. On 75 meters, #4 bare copper works very well, and is readily available from handyman supply stores. On 160 meters, the coil can be safely wound from #8 bare copper. Connections to the coils can be made using large split bolts or other solderless connectors.
The series tuning capacitor (used in the tank of most of the class E transmitters shown here) must be a high voltage, high current, air variable or vacuum variable capacitor. These capacitors are available from a number of sources.
The subject of operating class E amplifiers on multiple bands had been the subject of considerable attention over the years. Several amateurs have built class E RF amplifiers spanning more than one band. Others have constructed seperate RF amplifiers for each band, and switched between them, using a single modulator and power supply for everything. Both have their advantages.
Switching a single class E amplifier between bands will usually result in a smaller overall transmitter than that obtained by switching between multiple RF amplifiers, and components such as the tuning capacitor need only be purchased once. The trade off is more difficult construction and design. It is highly recommended, if you are going to build a multi band RF ampflier, to use a broadband driver circuit using driver ICs or some other non-resonant design. This will remove the necessity of changing or switching components within the driver when changing bands. Switching between two bands is generally reasonable to accomplish. Switching between three bands is more challenging.
The RF amplifier shown to the right covers 160 and 80 meters, and uses relay switching.
Relay switching is generally the most practical way of switching the various RF components. Switching shunt capacitors must be done with care, using short, thick, heavy leads, and preferably contactors that do not contain any internal wiring. This will keep the inductance of the shunt capacitor switching system as low as possible. It is better to use seperate inductors for each band, connected in series, and short-circuited when not in use than to use a single inductor with shorted turns. The shorted turns get hot due to very high circulating current, and this can waste considerable power. This high current also flows through relays, switches and the like, heating these components as well.
Switching between multiple RF amplifiers is easier to accomplish, and generally will give better results, as each amplifier is optimized for the band in question. Seperate RF amplifiers also results in a more flexible setup. It will also, in general, remove the need for retuning when changin bands - the RF amplifier will usually be tuned up from the last use. The disadvanages of using seperate RF amplifiers are greater space and increased cost, as parts such as tuning capacitors and heat sinks are needed for each RF amplifier.
It is generally easier to set up all of the metering required (drain current meters, voltage meters, etc.) as part of the modulator / power supply, and switch the modulator output between the various RF amplifiers. Use heavy relays or a high current switch for this purpose.
Several transmitters are presented at this site. The 400 watt transmitter for 75 meters is a fairly simple transmitter to construct. The physical layout is compact and easy to build. This RF amplifier is a balanced design that reduces harmonic output, and is very stable.
Modulators fall into two general classes - Analog and Digital (pulse width). Both have advantages. The analog modulators will operate over a wider range of load currents and resistances, and are generally fairly straight-forward in design. The primary disadvantages of analog modulators are the size and weight. Analog modulators are much larger than comparable digital (pulse width) modulators, and have significantly large power supply requirements.
Digital (pulse width) modulators are the most efficient (up to 95% efficiency is possible), and can be made smaller, and require smaller and simpler power supplies than comparable analog modulators. Pulse width modulators are designed to work into a particular load resistance - the load in this case being the class E RF amplifier. The class E amplifier must be operated within certain parameters to properly match the design impedance of the modulator. Digital modulators are designed with significant filtering, by the nature of how they work, and therefore can offer better control over the transmitted bandwidth than analog modulators.
The Pulse Width Modulator and Power Supply is probably the best modulator choice, as there are printed circuit boards available to facilitate construction of the low level circuitry, and the design includes many advanced features. | 2019-04-25T08:47:26 | http://classeradio.org/consover.htm |
Anchorage, Alaska—In an unprecedented move, 37 sport fishing industry leaders, including Scott Fly Rods, Orvis, and the American Fly Fishing Trade Association today urged Alaska Governor-elect Sarah Palin, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and the federal Bureau of Land Management to reject the Pebble Mine and permanently protect the Bristol Bay watershed from industrial mineral development.
“The prospect of hard rock mining in the Bristol Bay area of Alaska scares the hell out of the world fly angling community and the businesses that serve it,” said Robert Ramsay, president of the American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA), which represents more than 400 fly-fishing manufacturers, sales representatives, retailers, outfitters and specialty media.
“These are some of the most cherished fly fishing waters on earth,” Ramsay said. “Prized not just for their fisheries, but recognized for their broad wilderness character here in America and across the world, Bristol Bay’s public lands must continue to be protected from the devastation that would result from hard rock mine prospecting and development,” he added.
According to a recent joint University of Alaska/University of Montana study commissioned by Trout Unlimited, the Bristol Bay salmon fishery generates an estimated $400 million per year with sport fishing contributing a whopping $122 million to that total. Tens of thousands of anglers, hunters, and wildlife watchers from around the world visit the Bristol Bay watershed annually. In 2005 alone, the region boasted 65,000 recreational visitors, according to the study.
To date, the proposed Pebble Mine has garnered a great deal of attention – and rightfully so. It would be the largest open pit gold and copper mine in North America, take water from critical salmon rearing streams of the Bristol Bay, and disturb core wildlife habitat for key game species.
“Nearly everyone who loves fish and fishing has a story of a river, a lake, a stretch of stream that was lost to pollution and irresponsible development. We are not going to stand idly by and let that happen to the Bristol Bay watershed, which is truly irreplaceable,” stated Jim Bartschi, President of Scott Fly Rods, on why the company chose to participate in the project.
In applications to the State of Alaska, Northern Dynasty Minerals, the Canadian mining company that owns the Pebble Mine prospect, has detailed plans that include a 15 square-mile complex with an open pit measuring approximately two miles long, a mile and half wide, and 1,700 feet deep. To build the tailings storage facilities, Northern Dynasty proposes taking water from several critical salmon and trout streams and retaining the water and mine waste behind some of the largest dams on the planet, which would eliminate several miles of streams. Northern Dynasty is a junior mining company that has never actually constructed and operated a large mine.
Two earthen dams would be constructed in this earthquake prone zone, ranging from 740 feet high and 4.3 miles long, to 700 feet high and 2.9 miles long. The larger dam would be higher than the Hoover Dam or the Grand Coulee Dam which are made of much hardier concrete. The water sought by the mining company each day amounts to three times the daily water usage of Anchorage, Alaska (pop. 277,000). Infrastructure, including a haul road and port, for the Pebble Mine also could pave the way for a massive mining district that includes BLM lands covered in the draft Resource Management Plan that is currently open for comment. | 2019-04-25T10:44:41 | https://in.tu.org/press_releases/2006/sport-fishing-industry-leaders-blast-pebble-mine-proposal |

Agency attribution is a hallmark of mind perception; thus, diminished attributions of agency may disrupt social-cognition processes typically elicited by human targets. The current studies examine the effect of perceivers’ sexist attitudes on associations of agency with, and neural responses to, images of sexualized and clothed men and women. In Study 1, male (but not female) participants with higher hostile sexism scores more quickly associated sexualized women with first-person action verbs (“handle”) and clothed women with third-person action verbs (“handles”) than the inverse, as compared to their less sexist peers. In Study 2, hostile sexism correlated negatively with activation of regions associated with mental state attribution-medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate, temporal poles-but only when viewing sexualized women. Heterosexual men best recognized images of sexualized female bodies (but not faces), as compared with other targets’ bodies; however, neither face nor body recognition was related to hostile sexism, suggesting that the fMRI findings are not explained by more or less attention to sexualized female targets. Diminished mental state attribution is not unique to targets that people prefer to avoid, as in dehumanization of stigmatized people. The current studies demonstrate that appetitive social targets may elicit a similar response depending on perceivers’ attitudes toward them.

Radio talk-show host and political commentator Armstrong Williams says George Zimmerman was "cowardly" in shooting Trayvon Martin and instead should have "fought him like a man."
"When I was growing up … we did not fight with guns, we used our bare fists and we fought," Williams told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"Sometimes we were bloodied, but we settled our issues with fists not with guns . . . I would have fought him like a man. I wouldn't resort to a gun . . . It is cowardly to use a gun."
Zimmerman, a neighborhood-watch volunteer in Sanford, Florida, was acquitted last week of second-degree murder and manslaughter during an altercation with Martin, a 17-year-old black youth.
The defense claimed that Zimmerman was attacked by Martin and then used his gun in self-defense.
“[Zimmerman is] no different than any of these inner city black kids that use these guns . . . when someone's getting the best of them," said Williams, who hosts a daily, nationally-syndicated radio show.
He added that he owns licensed firearms himself "but if I'm in a fight I'm not going to take my gun out and take somebody's life. I'm going to stand and fight.
"If I’m going to shoot somebody, it’s going to be a flesh wound. I’m not going to shoot him where I’m going to try to kill him."
Despite what he believes was a fatal misstep by Zimmerman, still, Williams says the jury was justified in its not-guilty verdict.
"You have to prove that someone is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Because the prosecution did such an incompetent job presenting their case, George Zimmerman was able to be set free and acquitted on all charges," he said.
"Had any of us been on that jury who believed in fairness and who are not biased in our perspective of weighing the evidence, I can't see how any other verdict could have been reached."
Williams is the author of the book, "Letters to a Young Victim: Hope and Healing in America's Inner Cities."

Learn how to justify your projects according to a rationale. Choose the appropriate valuation scheme for your project when presenting your case to stakeholders.
Just like when you write a thesis or have to hand in a business case study, a case defending your choices for your project management model is essential to demonstrate the value of your work to the company, clients and all other stakeholders involved.

Bio: We moved to the North State in 1981 and were blessed to be able to raise our family in Palo Cedro. After 21 years there we moved to Redding where our two children, Kristi Davis and Michael Patten now live with their families. We continue to be very active with our family, and are happy to be a part of our grandchildren’s busy lives.
For many years I was an insurance agent at AAA, after leaving there in 2003 I became a jewelry appraiser and enjoyed working at the Goldmart. Over the years I have been a part of many community groups. Some I’ve served on are the Library Commission, the Women’s Fund Membership Committee, and am a past president of the Palo Cedro Chamber of Commerce. I enjoy working with the Reading Rotarians, and most recently I became a Women’s Fund Cabinet member. My mother taught me the importance of volunteering and supporting the community and I am happy to follow in her footsteps. It has also been wonderful to see my children continue my mother’s legacy by giving back to their community.

This is the latest addition to the rSeries which focuses on getting the best sound from any audio device. These products can be used with any system and are a brilliant way to enhance your audio experience.
The rPhono benefits from Arcam’s more than forty years of analogue audio expertise and uses the finest quality parts in a layout that is optimised for low noise and minimum distortion.
The multi-layer PCB used maximises the quality of the ground plane so that interference between components is further reduced. The use of multiple, low-noise, individually regulated power supplies ensures the rPhono delivers the cleanest signal to the audiophile quality output stage.
Precision components give excellent RIAA response and class leading performance figures, meaning the rPhono will delight all music-lovers.
Moving coil users benefit from precision impedance matching using high-quality trimmers instead of discrete steps, while moving magnet users have a wide variety of capacitance options.

Does your child need help learning English?
As a family that recently relocated to New York, you want to ease your child’s transition to a new country, a new city, a new house … and especially a new language. Why?
For your child, maybe even more than for any adult, speaking the language of the country they live in, is a priority. This will alleviate most of the stress: whether he or she is excited or not about the move, being unable to communicate with classmates will prevent him/her to join student’s groups or make his/her own friends. In all cases this is a terrible feeling for a child, let alone a teenager.
As a department of the Language Workshop for Children we have been working with children for 45 years. We know that naturally, your child will end up speaking the language by themselves, more or less quickly depending of his/her age. Obviously, he/she won’t be able to write in English if not taught. But we can do better!
The New York English Workshop will welcome your child in a happy and funny immersion class where a friendly teacher speaks only English as a mother tongue. Private lessons or semi-private sibling lessons are the key to adapting the curriculum to the student’s needs and help them to communicate fluently in English with his/her peers, very quickly. Our lessons also help students to fit quickly and easily in their environment, especially at school, as we take into account cultural and social behavior aspects adapted to the student’s age, in our teaching.
Why choose the New York English Workshop?
New York English Workshop/The Language Workshop for Children has been helping students of all ages and levels to learn a new language since the 1970s. Director François Thibaut has dedicated his career to developing immersive, active techniques that are specially designed to engage children.
With over 45 years of experience in childhood language acquisition, New York English Workshop is the best choice to help your child become fluent in English. Our proven method of immersive instruction provides a supportive, dynamic environment and builds lifelong language skills. We ensure that your child learns the same vocabulary and grammar skills as their native-speaking peers.
We teach important concepts through action, emotion, and memory to activate your child’s curiosity, and help them reach their full potential. During our lessons, they will expand their English skills, improve their academic performance and feel more comfortable in American culture.
We can tailor our curriculum to your child’s needs.
The English for Children lessons at New York English Workshop can also be helpful for more advanced language learners. We can customize materials to help your child review important spelling, pronunciation, and writing concepts. This additional support will help them achieve full English fluency.
Call us today at 212-628-2700 to schedule your child’s evaluation. We will then work with you and your child to find the schedule that is best for their level and learning needs! | 2019-04-21T12:27:14 | http://newyorkenglishworkshop.com/esl-for-children/ |

Body temperature is lower in older adults, is this beneficial or detrimental?
The idea of attrition started with Aristotle (384-322 BC) and was later adopted by the Romans, Muslim and Western European medical establishments. It became the basis for our early understanding of how the human body works. Essentially, Aristotle held that the human body was filled with four humors: black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. Any imbalance in these four humors resulted in diseases and disabilities. Aging is caused by the drying out and cooling of these humors. This idea had a wide following, and involved numerous hot baths and saunas in order to maintian our wetness and innate heat. | 2019-04-21T12:05:07 | https://www.tokyocafe.net/health/?eid=30 |

An Early 20th Century Maple Butcher Block on Four Turned Legs.
This butcher block is made of solid maple with 4 turned legs. It has evidently seen much use, as the surface is well worn. The distressed patina is very appropriate for a vintage butcher block such as this. The short end of the table displays 3 wooden dowels, which run through the table to hold it together. The numbers “25107” are stamped on the doweled end. There are no other identifying marks evident.
• Height from floor with legs is 31 ½”.
• Block length is 30 ½”.
• Block width is 20 ¾”.
• Block depth is 13 ½”.
• Leg height is 18”.
• Weight is approximately 240 lbs.
This would make a great coffee table, occasional table or objet d’art.
The legs were detached for moving. They will need to be pounded back into the block; we haven’t done that as we expect they will need to be detached again for shipping.
This butcher block may be picked up in Boylston, MA. Pick-up will require at least 2 very strong people. We can arrange for freight shipping if required.
If shipping is needed, please email for a quote to your destination.
All items are sold "as is". This is an antique piece of furniture; small nicks and scratches are part of the beauty of an antique and are not described unless significant.

When I first saw the sticker sheets that come in the White Pines Complements I knew I had to do a card using the singing animals and the MOOSE! These cards actually went thru several variations until I found the right combo of elements. The problem was I wanted to show off the super cute animals but the background couldn't be too busy or they would get lost. The solution turned out to be creating my own background and I used the cute little star from the Festive Trees (B1493) stamp set. This is a hostess rewards stamp and I also use it for my sentiments on both cards. I random stamped the stars, the sentiments and sponge distressed the banners using Glacier ink. Other products I used are White Pines Paper Packet for my little banners, Red Shimmer Trim, Gold Foil Tape and the green strip and blue holly and berries strip are from the compliment sticker sheets.
For today's Christmas card reveal... La Vie en Rose and Poppy! Do the design look familiar?? I have used it before but it comes from Make It from Your Heart Volume 2, Pattern 28. I love all the how to books from CTMH. They are a great source to help jump start the creative mojo.
I seem to have a love of Kraft Paper and really like to use it whenever I can. I recently designed this card for my big Christmas Card Workshops and I LOVE the Wood Grain Embossing Folder with the Kraft Paper.
The lovely sentiment and holly leaves are from CTMH's White Pines Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go stamp set and was stamped using Topiary Ink. All the shapes are from the Cricut Artistry Collection and the patterned paper is from the White Pines Paper Packet. I finished this card off with a few bitty sparkles and Red Enamel Gems.
Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.
I totally forgot that this week was one of my weeks to create with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. In my defense I have been very busy creating, cutting, sorting, counting, re counting, double checking and finalizing all the details for my upcoming Christmas Card Workshops. These workshops are huge in that my crafting friends are creating 20 cards (2 each of 10 designs) that I have designed and pre-cut, etc. for them. Some of my regular crafters call this annual workshop our yearly epic event and they do work hard!
Three of the cards for this years workshop are from CTMH's White Pines Cardmaking Workshop on the go. I like to use the WOTG's as a starting point and of course I love that I can make the cards cards my own... some years I change the cards a lot and other years not so much. This year, not so much.
Last month I upgraded to a Cricut Explore Air and honestly I was very hesitant to do it but my poor Cricut Expression 2 was just done, I create a lot of workshops and that machine has seen some heavy use over the past few years. Why was I hesitant? Well I wasn't sure if having to upload my cartridges to the Cricut Design Space was a good idea, what if they don't load and how will I find what I want and what if the internet is down and how long will it take? Seriously what if I just want to cut a quick circle.. will it take 20 minutes to load everything? Well, I am happy to say most of my worries have been appeased. It does take a few minutes to load the program and find what design I want to cut but the program is super user friendly and as I play with it I am getting more confident. | 2019-04-21T16:21:25 | http://www.paperdragonfleur.ca/2015/10/ |
We looked at the top 1 Canon DSLR Cameras and dug through the reviews from 5 of the most popular review sites including New York Times Wirecutter, DP Review, Tech Radar, PC Magazine, CNET and more. Through this analysis, we've determined the best Canon DSLR Camera you should buy.
In our analysis of 56 expert reviews, the Canon Canon EOS REBEL T7i placed 5th when we looked at the top 10 products in the category. For the full ranking, see below.
Better capture of images in low light situations than my previous camera.
Casual and beginner photographers looking for an easy-to-use and relatively easy-to-learn DSLR.
The new sensor impresses, as does the 45-point autofocus system backed up by excellent live view AF, while the newly designed graphical interface will certainly make this camera even more appealing to new users.
The Canon EOS Rebel T7i/800D delivers reasonable photo and video quality and respectable performance in a time-tested body.
Another disappointing limitation is the simplistic Auto ISO implementation. You can choose the highest ISO the camera should use, but there's no way of telling the camera whether you're more concerned about camera shake or subject movement, so it won't necessarily get you the photo you want.
No 4k video, plastic finish, dynamic range could be better.
Relatively large compared to other cameras in its class and its photos aren't as sharp as competitors'. | 2019-04-22T23:59:29 | https://www.dontwasteyourmoney.com/products/canon-eos-rebel-t7i/ |
Glaucoma Service, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Inbal Michael, Michael Shmoish, David S. Walton, Shulamit Levenberg; Interactions between Trabecular Meshwork Cells and Lens Epithelial Cells: A Possible Mechanism in Infantile Aphakic Glaucoma. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2008;49(9):3981-3987. doi: 10.1167/iovs.08-1674.
purpose. Infantile aphakic glaucoma may develop as a postoperative complication of early childhood cataract surgery. It has been associated with risk factors including surgery in early life and retained lens material; however, its cause and mechanism are poorly understood. This study focused on the potential role of retained lens material (specifically, exposed lens epithelial cells [LECs]) in undesired changes of the trabecular meshwork (TM) structure and function.
methods. Interactions between LECs and TM cells were studied by analyzing structural changes and differential gene and protein expression in TM cells cocultured with LECs.
results. Subjecting normal TM cells to the presence of LECs resulted in changes in their structural features (such as increase in volume and size, and decrease in cell–cell interactions), as well as in their protein expression (mainly cytoskeletal) and gene expression (such as genes related to organ and cell morphogenesis, inflammatory response, response to stimulus, ion homeostasis, and several signaling pathways).
conclusions. Many of the changes observed in TM cells after exposure to LECs resemble alternations seen in primary open-angle glaucoma. This strengthens the suspected role of LECs in the development of aphakic glaucoma.
Cataract is a major, but treatable, cause of visual disability in childhood. 1 2 3 Early treatment of congenital cataracts present at birth or in infancy is one of the most important factors in determining the eventual level of visual development. 4 Cataract poses a serious impediment to the developing infantile visual system and must be removed to clear the visual axis. The removal of infantile cataract may introduce postoperative complications. Secondary glaucoma is the commonest and is sight threatening. 5 6 This kind of secondary glaucoma is referred to as infantile aphakic glaucoma. Glaucoma develops because of an imbalance between aqueous production and its outflow through the drainage angle tissue of the eye, the trabecular meshwork (TM). Infantile aphakic glaucoma is most frequently an open-angle glaucoma and develops after infantile cataract surgery with an incidence ranging up to 32%. 7 8 The highest incidence is found when the surgery is performed on a child younger than 2 months; a much lower incidence is found when surgery is performed on children older than 1 year. 8 9 10 11 The occurrence of this glaucoma has been associated with some suspected risk factors including a preexisting ocular abnormality, chronic postoperative inflammation, retained lens material, and factors found in the aqueous humor of the eye. 7 8 However, the direct cause and mechanism of TM injury responsible for infantile aphakic glaucoma is to date poorly understood.
Surgical removal of the infantile cataractous lens is typically incomplete and exposes the internal surfaces of the equatorial and posterior lens capsule to the anterior chamber aqueous humor. These membranes are covered by a monolayer of lens epithelial cells (LECs), creating new conditions in the eye that lead to potential interactions between LECs and TM cells mediated by the aqueous humor or by being in direct contact with each other. Therefore, we focused on the potential of retained lens material (specifically, residual exposed LECs) negatively affecting TM cellular structure and function. These interactions were studied by analyzing differential gene and protein expression and structural changes in TM cells cocultured with LECs.
Normal human TM cells which were generously provided by Debra Fleenor and Abbot Clark (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX; NTM5 cells, SV40 transformed, originating from an 18-year-old), and B-3 human LECs from ATCC (Catalog No. CRL-11421; SV40 transformed, originating from infant less than 1 year old) were used for coculture.
Both cell types were grown in a medium consisting of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM), 2 mM l-glutamine and 4500 mg/L glucose (Invitrogen-Gibco, Paisley, UK) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone, Erembodegem-Aalst, Belgium) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (pen-strep) solution (Invitrogen-Gibco). The cells were maintained in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator at 37°C. Culture medium was replaced every 2 to 3 days. Before coculture, both cell types were grown for 2 days in a medium that contained only 1% fetal bovine serum.
Plates with membrane inserts (25 mm inserts designed for six-well plates, polycarbonate membrane with pores of 0.4 μm; Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark) were used for coculturing the cells.
LECs were seeded onto the inserts (105 cells/well), and the NTM5 cells were grown in the six-well plates (105 cells/well). Low-serum medium (1%) was replaced every 2 to 3 days. After a maximum 2 weeks of coculture, the NTM5 cells were analyzed for changes.
Since transformed LECs and TM cells may behave differently than primary cells, additional coculture was performed with primary cells. Normal primary human TM cells were generously provided by Donna Pesciotta Peters (Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Wisconsin University, Madison, WI; N17RM.2, from a 17-year-old donor). Primary LECs (HLEpiCs, from fetal lens; catalog number 6550), were purchased from ScienCell Research Laboratories (Carlsbad, CA).
The N17RM.2 cells were grown in a medium consisting of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) with 1000 mg/L glucose and 4 mM l-glutamine (Invitrogen-Gibco) supplemented with 15% defined fetal bovine serum (HyClone), amphotericin B (250 μg/mL solution; Sigma-Aldrich, Poole, UK) and gentamicin sulfate (50 mg/mL solution; Sigma-Aldrich). Fresh bFGF solution (1 ng/mL final concentration; Invitrogen) was added directly to the plate until confluence. The cells were maintained in an 8% CO2 humidified incubator at 37°C. Culture medium was replaced every day. At confluence, the cells were subcultured and replaced in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator at 37°C 48 hours before coculture.
HLEpiCs were grown in a medium consisting of Eagle’s minimum essential medium with Earle’s balanced salt solution (EMEM), 1000 mg/L glucose, and 4 mM l-glutamine (Invitrogen-Gibco) supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids, 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate, and 1% pen-strep solution (all from Invitrogen-Gibco). The cells were maintained in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator at 37°C. Culture medium was replaced every 2 to 3 days.
Coculturing was performed as just described. Before coculturing, both cell types were grown for 48 hours in a medium containing DMEM with 1000 mg/L glucose and 4 mM l-glutamine, supplemented with 1% defined fetal bovine serum, amphotericin B, gentamicin sulfate, and pen-strep solution. Cocultured cells were grown in 5% CO2 humidified incubator at 37°C.
Cocultured TM cells (NTM5) were analyzed for differential gene and protein expression and for structural changes. NTM5 cells grown in low-serum medium (1%) for the same period as the cocultured cells used as the control.
Cocultured primary TM cells (N17RM.2) were analyzed for differential gene expression (TaqMan real-time PCR; ABI). N17RM.2 cells grown in low-serum medium (1%) for the same period as the cocultured cells were used as the control.
Structural changes in NTM5 cells were observed with SEM (scanning electron microscopy). Two replicates of NTM5 cells grown on coverslips were prepared for SEM with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS; Sigma-Aldrich). Briefly, samples were washed with saline, transferred to a solution containing 1% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7), washed in distilled water, dehydrated with a series of ethanol washes (70%, 85%, 90%, and 100%), and immersed in HMDS for 5 to 15 minutes. The coverslips were then air dried, mounted on SEM stubs, and coated with a thin layer of gold.
Morphologic changes in the primary TM cells were observed by using light microscopy.
Two replicates of total proteins of both coculture and control cells were extracted by using TRI-reagent (Sigma-Aldrich). Total protein content in the samples was determined according to Bradford’s method (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). The standard calibration curve was produced from serially diluted bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich). Equal quantities of proteins from coculture and control cells were used to perform SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). The separated proteins were visualized after staining with Coomassie blue-250 (Bio-Rad). The most differentially appearing protein bands in the gel were excised, digested by trypsin, analyzed by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS on DECA/LCQ), and identified by computer (Pep-Miner 12 and Sequest software 13 ; Finnigan, San Jose, CA) against a database of human, mouse, rat, bovine and rabbit (performed by the Smoler Protein Research Center, Department of Biology, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel). The NCBI Gi accession numbers of the proteins identified were converted to gene link IDs by using the DAVID gene ID conversion tool and analyzed for molecular functional categorization by the functional annotation tool of DAVID-EASE (david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/ Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery, provided in the public domain by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Bethesda, MD).
To validate the results of the MS-MS analysis, Western blot was performed for two of the identified proteins: filamin 1 and myosin heavy chain (nonmuscle). Proteins samples of 15 μg were electrophoresed on SDS-PAGE, and the proteins transferred to nitrocellulose membrane (0.45 μm; Invitrogen). The blots were incubated in 7.5% nonfat dry milk in PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20 (PBS-T) for 1 hour at room temperature, rinsed three times with PBS-T, incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with primary antibodies (anti-myosin heavy chain, nonmuscle, 1:1000 dilution, and antifilamin 1, 1:200 dilution; both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), rinsed again three times with PBS-T, and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with secondary antibodies (horseradish peroxidase–conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG, 1:5000 dilution, and horseradish peroxidase–conjugated donkey anti-goat IgG, 1:10,000 dilution, both from Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA). After five washes in PBS, the bound antibodies were visualized with a chemiluminescence detection kit for horseradish peroxidase (EZ-ECL; Biological Industries, Kibbutz Beit Haemek, Israel). Quantitation of each protein was performed by densitometric analysis (Multi Gauge ver. 3.0 software; FujiFilm, Tokyo, Japan). GAPDH served as an internal control.
RNA Isolation, Amplification, and Labeling.
Total RNA from NTM5 cells cocultured with LECs and from control cells were isolated after 3 days of coculture (RNeasy Mini Kit; Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA), and RNA yields were determined by spectrophotometry (model ND1000; NanoDrop Technologies, Rockland, DE).
Ten micrograms of each total RNA sample was amplified, fractionated, and labeled with biotin according to the manufacturer’s protocols (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Overall, three replicates of cocultured NTM5 cells and three replicates from control cells were isolated and used for the microarray analysis.
Labeled cDNA targets were hybridized to gene chips (HG-U133A 2.0; Affymetrix; six RNA samples to six arrays, i.e., each RNA sample per one array) according to the manufacturer’s instructions (performed by the microarray unit of Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel). Quality control evaluation was performed for each of the six microarrays, and one was excluded due to low quality. Overall, the analysis was performed on three replicates of control and duplicate of coculture.
Microarray data were first processed by R/Bioconductor software 14 to compute RMA gene expression values with background correction and quantile normalization. 15 Then by using a LIMMA (linear models for microarray data) package 16 the set of differentially expressed genes between coculture and control was identified at the level of nonadjusted P < 0.01.
Real-time PCR (TaqMan; Applied Biosystems [ABI], Foster City, CA) was used to confirm the results of the microarray analysis, and for theanalysis of the primary cocultured cells. cDNA was prepared from total RNA with random hexamer (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) and reverse transcriptase (PrimeScript; Takara Bio Inc., Shiga, Japan). Each cDNA sample (300 ng) was loaded on a low-density array (part no. 4342253; Taqman; ABI) containing 48 genes, and the reaction was performed on a genotyping system (model BI 7900HT; ABI) All procedures were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions (performed at The Center for Genomic Technologies at the Institute of Life Sciences in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel). Human GAPDH (ID Hs99999905_m1; Assay-on-Demand; ABI), which exhibited stable expression in our experimental conditions, was used as the endogenous control. Each sample was run in duplicate, and the expression level of each gene was analyzed on computer (SDS2.3 software; ABI). Only the genes with reproducible curves of both duplicates were analyzed and presented.
Significant differences are seen between the cocultured NTM5 cells and their control (Fig. 1A) , mainly in their volume, size, and cell–cell interactions. The cells exhibit enlargement in size and volume and fewer contacts between cells. In addition, they show accumulation of granules (black spots) and reduction in vesicles.
The cocultured primary TM cells show similar alternations in morphology compared with the control (Fig. 1B) , specifically in their enlarged volume and shape.
Changes in protein expression after coculture were observed (Fig. 2A) . The LC-MS-MS analysis of the differentially appearing bands identified the proteins and indicated the direction of their change, as the number of peptides of each identified protein was proportional to its concentration in the sample. The most differently expressed proteins were filamins, myosins, tropomyosins, and spectrin, which showed an increased concentration in cocultured cells compared with the control. Western blot analysis for filamin A and myosin heavy chain (Fig. 2B)confirmed these results, as their concentration in cocultured TM cells increased by 32% and 55%, respectively, compared with the control (according to densitometry analysis).
DAVID-EASE molecular functional analysis categorized the changed proteins as follows: binding (66.7%, P = 3.19E-02), protein binding (52.4%, P = 5.66E-04), calmodulin binding (14.3%, P = 4.49E-03), cytoskeletal protein binding (38.1%, P = 4.42E-09), and actin binding (38.1%, P = 3.73E-10).
The gene expression profile of cocultured NTM5 cells was compared to that of the control by using gene chips (Affymetrix). After coculture 400 genes were found to be upregulated, and 566 genes were downregulated at the level of P < 0.01. Of these, the most changed genes are given in Table 1(upregulated) and Table 2(downregulated). Real-time PCR (TaqMan; ABI) confirmed the changes observed by the microarray analysis. The relative quantity (RQ) and the ID of each gene (Assay-on-Demand; ABI) are denoted in Tables 1 and 2 .
Table 3presents the functional distribution of all the differentially expressed genes, as analyzed by the gene set enrichment tool. The most affected cellular components were the extracellular space, vesicle, and actin cytoskeleton. The coculture conditions seem to alter biological processes, such as organ and cell morphogenesis, inflammatory response, vasculature development, taxis, cell proliferation and growth, response to stimulus, ion homeostasis, and several signaling pathways. Many of the changed genes are molecularly functioning in binding, extracellular matrix, cytokine activity, growth factor, and protease inhibitor activities. The more sophisticated enrichment analysis with the GOrilla tool 17 yielded similar results (see the Supplementary Material).
Differential gene expression analysis of the primary cocultured TM cells (N17RM.2) by real-time PCR (Table 4)revealed very high similarity to the transformed cells, emphasizing the possible role of cytoskeletal alternations inflammatory and acute phase response, the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway, the response to biotic stimulus, and the involvement of growth factors and their receptors in the development of the aphakic glaucoma.
We report that the most changed proteins were the cytoskeletal proteins myosin, filamin A and B, tropomyosin 3 and 4, and spectrin. Cytoskeletal changes in TM cells have been well studied. 18 19 20 Glaucomatous TM cells present alternations in their microfilament structure of the cytoskeleton, and have more cross-linked actin networks, suggesting a major reorganization of the microfilament structure. 20 The changes seen in the actin cytoskeleton proteins are supported both by the gene expression and structural analyses, as the cytoskeleton is involved with cell shape, volume, and adhesion to neighboring cells and to the ECM. 18 Tropomyosin was found to be increased after treatment of TM cells with TGF-β, 21 which is increased in the aqueous humor of patients with glaucoma. 22 23 Spectrin helps maintain cell shape. 29 Thus, when spectrin is increased, cells are less easily deformed. This increase observed in the cells could be a defense response to minimize the deformations caused by the coculture conditions, as seen by the SEM analysis. Coculture also led to alternations in calmodulin binding, which is known to affect the cytoskeletal interactions, hence providing additional support of the cytoskeletal changes seen in the TM cells after coculture.
Coculture conditions seem to create chemical and biotic stimulus, as indicated by the gene expression analysis, implying a potential role of factors secreted by LECs in the development of aphakic glaucoma.
Genes altered after coculture were involved in inflammatory response (upregulation of chemokine [C-X-C motif] ligands 5, 6, 3, and 1), and acute-phase response (upregulated TNF-α-induced proteins 3 and 6, IL-8, and complement component 3). These biological processes were found to be altered in a comparison of normal and glaucomatous TM tissue, which revealed an upregulation of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 6, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 5, and several additional genes coding for proteins involved in inflammation and acute-phase response. 26 Of note, this comparison was made with TM tissues from eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) originating from patients who also had cataracts.
Coculture led to a decrease in proenkephalin (PENK). PENK has been reported to be one of the genes downregulated in cultured human TM cells mapping in glaucoma loci (GLC1D). 26 This finding suggests its importance in the development of aphakic glaucoma.
Overall, observing all these changes implies that LECs affect the TM cells’ functionality, and may be responsible for the development of aphakic glaucoma. In future studies, the effect of young and adult LECs on TM cells will be compared, to examine the possibility that the age of the LECs is the critical factor leading to the development of the aphakic glaucoma. This possibility is supported by studies suggesting that LECs exhibit a loss in their functional physiology with age 39 and that there is an age-related decrease in cell density. In addition, the interactions between infant TM cells, which were found to differ from adult cells, 28 40 and LECs should be studied.

Weird and wonderful lakebed topography under incredibly clear water is just one factor that helped earn Tobermory a reputation for being ‘the freshwater SCUBA diving capital of the world.’ Located roughly 200 miles north of Toronto on a large bay of Lake Huron, Tobermory offers another allure for divers: plenty of shipwrecks. Twenty-two sunken vessels are located within Fathom Five National Marine Park alone. The remarkable natural attractions continue above water, as the park features Flowerpot Island and its towering duo of fanciful rock pillars. And Bruce Peninsula National Park is adjacent to Tobermory if you would like to explore more of the southern Ontario wilderness. | 2019-04-19T14:46:19 | http://www.crazyhippo.in/underwater-rocks-at-the-coastline-of-tobermory-canada/ |
Discover the interests and hobbies of well-adjusted people to changing seasons.
What brightens up your morning?
When can you think better?
Individual preferences make us unique. Blessed with the gift of free will, human beings can decide for himself on a certain degree of liberty. Our personal choice in all aspect of our existence creates the character and personality. It builds the foundation of who we are. Numerous factors affect and determine our personhood.
Seasons, undeniably, is an external factor that affects our decisions, choices and preferences. This is something beyond our control. Thus, weather and seasons reveal who we are. Try this Seasons Personality Test to see for yourself the connection between personality and changing seasons.
How was it? Your choices, faves and likes define you relative to the season that best represents your answers.
In this article, let me show you the other side of the coin. Your response to four different seasons speaks of your individuality.
Timely as it is, winter season has a wide range of activities to choose from. Dealing with the winter hazards is a manifestation of one’s life perspective. It shows the ability to handle uncontrollable circumstances. It could bring out the best in you or the worst.
To start with, look at winter as an opportunity of growth by trying out new hobbies. Believe me! You never know your full potential unless you try it.
Keep guided by this outline as I proceed the discussion towards the remaining seasons to come.
Winter is the best time to turn collecting as a hobby. Collecting builds character. Basically, everything that exists is collectable, your pick of what to collect reflects your personality.
What kind of collector you wanted to be?
“They’d spend thousands of dollars on art and other unique, high-value items, even sending agents in their place instead of doing the work themselves. For this reason, collecting didn’t take hold as a recognised hobby of the common man until the mid-1800s or so.
Before deciding what to collect, acknowledge first the benefits of pursuing this fascinating hobby. In choosing a hobby, among the top most consideration are the gains. Though, in the long run, some people realise the benefits of their chosen hobby only at the latter part.
A. The practice of collecting builds life skills.
In pursuing this hobby, a balance between time and expense requires a system. Skills in organising are acquired through the system that the collector designs to achieve the goal of accumulating stuff.
A successful collector has to manage resources including time, energy, and money. As a hobbyist becomes more fused with the practice of collecting a particular stuff of interest, acquiring will no longer be as simple as having the item for free. Collectors buy things, unless, the goal would be like collecting freebies. In a more practical sense, collect what your finances can handle.
Whilst collecting may mean a sudden change in your daily routine, organise your daily schedule by allotting time for searching and gathering. Without proper time management, your new passion can surely bring you more trouble than a sense of fulfilment.
You would not want a hobby which is stressful.
In the first place, it’s your passion that brought you to the point of amassing.
This skill has two faces.
First: The chosen item to be collected turns the collector into an expert.
Second: The collector’s prior expertise led him to collect the items related to the prowess.
A Collector Turns Into an Expert.
Collecting as a hobby will make you knowledgeable of the field; all field related to what you collect. It will require research, tracing back history for evidence, and in-depth search for answers crossing different area and disciplines.
A collector becomes very familiar to what he collects. Familiarity includes knowledge of the time, spatial orientation, and even with techniques. Knowing the best ways, the most efficient methods and the highly advisable makes a collector a reliable source of information about the subject. Say you have the passion for watches. Hear it from an expert watch collector.
An Expert Turns Into a Collector.
Where to the find the experts? Every field has experts. It takes specialisation to be one. This winter, someone can be an expert with the weeds in their garden. Simple as it sounds but an expert is an expert.
Given that you can be very keen on the weeds growing in your garden, your expertise is very practical not only for your gain. You might end up educating other gardeners or even publish your findings.
After achieving expertise on the matter, unconsciously, you’ll start collecting. What can you collect out of being a “garden weed expert”? Well, everything you find fascinating related to weeds. To decide on this, you will see that the world of garden weeds is broad enough for you to exhaust. The way collectors narrow down the wide variety of collectables; they eventually see garden weed as a big world to explore.
Determining your collection’s potential marketplace profitability requires a lot of analysing skills. This skill covers many factors in marketplace analysis. Consider the fact that while collecting tends to be addictive, why not be addicted as well with turning your hobby into a profitable and wise investment. Collecting for profit is very attractive especially during the rise of commodities. Read on Forbes on how can you get rich out of your precious collectables.
Finding a hobby is same with finding life. Hobby is beneficial in many forms. It is known to man as therapeutic that can even defy ageing. It touches a person holistically—physical, mental and emotional health. Collecting as a hobby might work well for you along with your gardening hobby.
As observable as collecting seashells whilst walking along the shores, as active as collecting seeds from mature garden plants, collecting stimulates the collector to move from one place to another. A recovering surgery patient would testify, “ I get up from bed by starting to collect sports cards.” The hunt for something that requires travelling or simply spending time outdoor to collect is physically beneficial.
Closely related to organisational skills developed by the practice of collecting, this hobby improves productive thinking. Pattern recognition through identifying characteristics is a superior mental ability.
Are you familiar with “collecting instinct”? A study is made on how effective collecting instinct is in teaching particularly to the younger ones who are not aware of its value.
Predominantly, collecting is innate to humans.
Any more proof of this instinct that we both have within us?
Do you have this particular variety of garden plant flourishing in your yard? Maybe a wide range of peppers you acquired from different countries you have been visiting. Do you have garden gnomes particularly categorised?
You might be a collector of something without even noticing it.
Part of the preparations for the winter season is how to deal with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Mental disorder is executed through moods and feeling. It dictates emotions.
Collecting this winter is another way of keeping sanity intact. Suggestions on what can be collected this winter will be presented in the later part of this series.
Positive social interaction is emotionally healthy. Collecting fosters bonds and connection. It feels good to meet and talk to people on shared ground. This practice will bring you closer to someone which caters the affective needs of an individual.
Consider collecting out of advocacy.
Whilst researching on collecting related topics, I came across Ed Decker, a science/health editor who collected Rhinos. Not the real one. His collection of rhinos revolves on figurines made of wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, rubber, glass, and hematite (a mineral).
Save the Rhino. He found this creature worthy of protection and preservation.
Knowing that you have a sense of purpose in life is a feel-good idea.
What is the most abundant resource to start collecting this winter?
You need proper time management to be a wealthy collector.
What are the collectables this winter?
Do I have the proper place to keep my collection?
What does my collection requires; a shed, storage or a workplace maybe?
Choosing or deciding what to collect.
Since it’s winter, explore the immediate environment. Try your luck in your garden.
Here are four items that can be a subject of your fascination found in your garden.
Spending most of your time during the winter break in the garden, you can start collecting garden gnomes. Why gnomes?
For starters, they are considered to be optimists. Dwarfs (sometimes thought of interchangeably with gnomes) were frequent characters in Grimm fairy tales, and dwarf figures were believed to bring good fortune to a home if placed indoors or in the gardens.
Lately available in a wide variety of sizes and style, collecting gnome gardens is certainly an enjoyable hobby. Availability of variety that fits the collector’s taste and personality is very relevant in considering what to collect. Gnomes are making a comeback and gaining more popularity.
Learn more about gnomes as garden ornaments.
Not much fascinated by garden gnomes? How about preserving animals from your garden?
Insects are fascinating creatures. Being an expert on insects is not bad. You are not the first one to do this. The information on how to be a triumph in collecting insects are readily available.
Start this rewarding hobby this winter. Get to know bugs better through collecting. Garden insects vary as the seasons’ change. Maximise winter by studying the types of insects found in the garden during winter. In any cases that other small animals, like a bird, die of frost inside your yard, it’s time to learn the art of taxidermy this winter.
Butterflies are one of the most popular collectables found in your garden. With less sunlight touching your garden and controlled heat penetrating the greenhouses, butterflies are usually resting somewhere; making them easy to catch.
Whilst other species are on their way to migration and hibernation, gently grab a sample of their kind.
Observe the proper way of collecting and preserving butterflies.When animals are collected and preserves, the future has the most gains. You’ll never know the worth of this hobby for the coming generation.
These insects will give future the idea of what plants grow in your garden. These winged organisms might be attracted to a certain plant in your garden which is about to get extinct. No one can answer such queries when living witnesses and pictures are gone, but your preserved insects can.
Purdue University has a helpful guide that you need with this new hobby.
Seed security. Another avenue of bridging the present and the future through collecting hobby. In this hobby, you may not end up with displaying the collected seeds on a frame. Could be exhibited but since seeds are not that attractive to look at, find a creative way to showcase your collection.
Both a method and a hobby, seed collecting is a great advocacy of keeping and saving. Slowly turn this hobby into a project.
Start with the plants in your garden. With the help on the proper gathering and storing seeds, begin your search for these gems hidden in the pods and dried flowers. This is the best season to collect seeds. Intentionally keep it for the next season or next generation of gardeners.
Weed collecting sounds odd. Who would collect weeds? I suggest you read more pieces of literature on why collect weeds if you find the practice queer. Including weeds among the suggested collectable will never be a regret. This winter, the weeds available in your garden will no longer exist the next season. Better walk around your garden, and start identifying weeds. Make yourself knowledgeable. Maybe you are keeping a flowering plant of unknown species because it’s a weed.
Weed collecting doesn’t mean encouraging weeds to take over your garden. Your knowledge about weeds whilst collecting will lead a gardener to eliminate these unwanted dwellers. Winter season is the best time to identify many cool season weeds like common chickweed or henbit. During these times, they are small and not rooted very deeply, so they are easy to pull up and get the entire plant out.
Press and preserved the collected weeds for future references.
For this season, a hopeful collector can explore areas within the immediate environment. Able to travel far places for a family trip is plus, however, it is not a requirement. Apply the basic treasure hunting ideas. Study the variables of a particular location before starting the search.
Be logical not to search for gnomes on places where it’s impossible to be found. However, there is always a possibility of being the luckiest. This is were developing organisational and analytical skills applied most. Identify the places to find your treasures. Old items are usually kept in the antique shops.
In the case of collecting bugs, animals, and weed species, your garden is the immediate place of your hunt. When staying longer outside for outdoor search doesn’t work well, start planning with magazines, newspapers, and other materials that will eventually lead you to the places of your gold mines. Once done with gathering enough information, put on a warm cloak and start your search.
Safekeeping collected gnomes is very different from storing and keeping seeds. Collections maintenance varies. One must study and decide the most appropriate for the collection of choice.
Workplace and storage are vital factors in the maintenance of the collection. Collected gnomes are commonly being displayed in the garden.
Insects and garden weeds need to be processed in a workplace like a room or garden shed to keep fragile parts free from distortion and decay.
Containers and canisters are what the collected seed need. Seeds intended for preserving and conserving a particular plant species require more care and well-thought safe-keeping. Make sure that the seed will be available for planting in the future.
How do you see the future of your collection? Ideally, you want it big.
Knowing the nature of this hobby, it’s hard to stop.
But, in situations that a collector started to lose the blaze, several questions need answers from the collector himself. If you’re not yet ready for rivalry and competition, stick first with what the winter season can offer.
As long as you started this hobby this season, you will be more stable as a collector this coming spring. Another season will bring an additional array of selections.
Figure out the sources of motivation in keeping collection as a hobby. It is an active pursuit of interest, however not at all times passion rules.Try to read on Six Reasons to Pursue a Hobby and Four Tips to Maintain Them.
Consider the future of your hobby as a motivation.
It all started in winter, where will it bring you?
A fantastic question that only the future holds the answer. As time passes by, the value of your collection leaps up.
Ordinary items today, precious pieces of gold in the years to come.
Aside from sentimental value, your collection will be part of the family heirloom. Family Tree Magazine gives more ideas on what to collect today that can make your descendants wealthy and famous. Collections can be a family legacy in a monetary form. Through this practice, you may also pass on good values and pride.
Ron Broomfield is just among the Guinness record holders for collections. Draw the starting line this winter of your race to Guinness. Ann Atkin, another record holder for collecting gnomes, turned her place into a garden gnome. Bringing honour to your family and country just because you enjoyed collecting? Not bad. More than gratification, collections are leading to businesses.
Seeing your collection towards the path of earning from a hobby, evaluate valuable items to be collected that you think will have an increased value in the long run.
Winter 2016, is predicted to be a very different one compared to last years, according to an independent meteorologist, Matthew Hugo.
Forecasts for the coming season help a lot as we decide on so many things concerning lifestyle. Wintry blast as early as November are early warnings for the people whose life primarily revolves outside the comfort of their houses. The outdoor enthusiasts are the most affected by this weather condition. Allocating big chunks of their time for outdoor activities, Winter could be even more exciting this year.
Getting along with the differences between previous and current winter, outdoor enthusiasts can linger over on three foci under outdoor activities. The first one is on rescuing homeless animals, the second is community involvement, and the third, gardening.
Altruism or selflessness chooses no season. It is embedded in our human nature to be of help to the neediest at all times.
Winter has its beauty for the outdoor enthusiasts. However, I can’t speak for the animals. Statistically, thousands of animals are not able to survive winter months. Lack of shelter, these vulnerable animals die due to starvation and frigid weather. For the stray and the feral animals, staying alive this season is a great challenge.
They need us to survive the winter blasts. Put these animals on the refuge in two ways.
We cannot exactly tell when to get in contact with stray animals along our way to our destinations. Can you even recall the last time you’ve seen a stray cat or dog? Maybe earlier this day.
On-the-spot care for these animals is highly appreciated this winter. Winter is not a favourable season for them primarily because they are homeless. Being exposed for longer hours outside the snowy streets makes them susceptible to many forms of danger.
On-the-spot care prolongs their lives without bringing them home. However, part of this action is to report the situation to the local animal shelter.
2. Turn garden into a nature reserve.
The moment that on-the-spot care becomes inadequate; for someone with a soft spot for animal welfare, start turning your yard into a nature reserve this winter.
How ready is your yard to accommodate transients this season? Let’s make things happen in the name of compassion.
Get started by decluttering your garden shed to maximise storage and containers for this project. Reaching out for these animals may require more space in your yard. Along with decluttering, you can allot time to give your shed a makeover for winter.
Note: To ensure the attainment of a favourable result for the shed makeover, just put the weather condition into high consideration. Limited sunlight is not advisable for painting jobs. Focus on other tasks to refurbish the shed. You may also consider, restructuring your shed to strengthen it for the anticipated winter storm. A sturdy structure inside a nature reserve garden for the animals will secure the place further.
Aside from the stray cats and dogs, the folks from the wild are in great hostility due to extreme weather condition. A little more effort can be put into creating makeshift shelters for stray cats. A modified design and sizes can be done for the stray dogs.
And the wildlife? Your yard can be their temporary home. Begin welcoming the wild into your garden this winter. By doing so, these animals will start spreading your goodwill. One by one, they will find their way to the garden to spend winter.
Let us not be confined in the idea of gardening as a hobby. This pastime has another purpose. Own this purpose for it does well not only to yourself but also for the others.
Now that you have the best intention to be of help this winter, identify your expected guests this winter. Observe and learn the behaviour of the wild. Have a prior knowledge on what animals you expect to be visiting your yard. Among them are the hedgehogs, foxes, squirrels, waterfowl and garden birds. Animals of different species have different needs. But generally, they need food and a patch of heaven in the backyard.Make your garden suited for everyone.
At the same time, plant for spring. Fostering wildlife can be a continuous or permanent feature of your garden. Garden planning needs a long term mind frame.
Community involvement for both young and adults reinforce citizenship. This act caters to the need to be a part of the society. And this is an enlightening way of spending winter. This may not be purely outdoor, but the mere fact that you are outside your house getting connected with the world through face-to-face socialisation, you are an outdoor enthusiast.
Getting involved has many forms packed in fun and exciting ways.
A leadership-driven way of being connected. Organize competitions, cute ones or tough ones. Be the host by administering or offering your place to the neighbourhood. It doesn’t have to be grandeur. As simple as hosting a cookie competition is something to look forward. Have it in categories for adults and kids, or let the adults make the cookies for the kids to judge. I agree that kids have the taste buds for sweet treats. They’ll be the best to judge the best cookie in town.
How about hosting a winter barbecue party? Incredible. Invite some neighbours to join your family and friends. Let them bring something along with them that can make the gathering more exciting. The unpredictable weather during winter nights might require putting on the lid of the barbecue grill.
Who can resist trivia questions? This is another fun community activity that you can preside over. Just make sure that the answers are searchable on the internet to avoid disputes at the end. Carry this out along with the winter barbecue party.
In connection to extending help for the animals this winter, make yourself available for volunteering. Visit your local animal shelter. Volunteer to walk dogs. These animals require much exercise during the cold season. A few hours of walk helps in blood circulation. It also prevents them from anxiety brought by the gloomy atmosphere.
Does spending quality time with dogs appeals to you? How about spending time with the elderly? Thoroughly rewarding. A feel-good activity this winter. The warmth of your benevolence will make their remaining years with us more meaningful. Be generous to this group in our society. Share time and stories with the elderly, a fulfilling way to spend spare time this winter.
Launch new activities or program for the community. You can also enhance or innovate the existing programs and clubs in your place.
Seek approval. Invite suggestions. Keep an open mind. An example of this is the TalkTime Phone club.
Among the chosen few, there are individuals who love to create new things. I believe, you’re one of them.
Winter season gives an array of dazzling ideas in bringing something into existence. Get devoured by the winter feel. Consider winter as a perfect season to conceptualise.
What to think about? Try to mull on winter wedding themes.
A truly magical and romantic winter, wedding pep up couples to tie the knot during this season.
Let innate creativity play around winter wedding themes. A magical and romantic garden wedding this winter is a fab and a fad. Wedding Ideas gives four themes from where you can get inspirations in cooking up your original themes. In conceptualising winter wedding themes, structure your planning starting from the daintiest to the immense detail of an ideal wedding. Work around an outline to have an organised placing of free-flowing thoughts.
In brainstorming for an idea or concept for an event theme always recognise the two variables; controllable and uncontrollable variables. Location, time, attire and decor are for me, the major facets of any event. These are adjustable factors. In our current set up, winter season is the uncontrollable variable.
No matter how progressive is the perception of a thinker, stay guided by the basics. Take this opportunity to debunk winter wedding myths and present contemporary views. Be a brave soul to present and share these ideas even without personal experience.
Find a vessel to carry these gems. Let the community learn about what your mind conceived. Create your own blog where people can keep a track on your future concepts. Being a blog contributor is another effective way to publicize suggested winter wedding themes.
What comes perfectly with a hot drink while enjoying free time this winter? Yes, BOOKS!
E-books or printed, it’s the purpose that they serve to the reader that matters.
However, readers have the privilege now into which form they are more comfortable. The Bookseller conducted research that found nearly three quarters of 16- to 24-year-olds preferred print to e-books.
Reading e-books means longer exposure to light. Parenting these youngsters takes a lot of balance and reflection. Warnings and reminders even in the most creative approach will not always guarantee compliance.
Let me present to you a forcible manoeuvre to redirect children from digital to printed books. With conviction, start this healthier and safer reading habit this winter.
Give a second or more thought about renovating your dull and lifeless home library. Focus on two elements: interior and exterior.
Assess the kinds of book you are keeping. These are the books that you want your family to read. If you want your children to engage on reading, study their reading preference. Ask and observe about the subject of their interests. The National Literacy Trust has a study focusing on reading habits and preferences of the young people. Conduct a candid survey then invest on the materials to fill your shelves.
Next, work on shelves. Make your shelves appealing as the newly refurbished books that it keeps. Range over your garden storage or workshop, start working on a stylish bookshelf. Give it a makeover that it deserves.
This is not new at all, however, only a few draw attention on this space inside the house or in the cabins. The frost outside may limit some of your family members’ outdoor activities. Away from distractions, make your reading nook the best place to spend their productive winter reading. Devote your extracted creative juices on designing a place that serves as your “hideout” away from distractive web browsing. Highlight personal touches representing your artistic palette. Turn the entire place—the books, the shelves, and the reading nook—into a masterpiece. Genius!
For the upcoming winter break, let’s not just consider gardening as a way of “filling up time” activity. Make use of the space and the time to create wonderful experiences for ourselves and our loved ones.
Thinking of making something in your garden that you can share with a friend or relatives?
Let me share with you my winter garden project for a cause. Of course, the benefits of gardening is always relative.
These Three Garden Stuff will Aid Your Brainstorming for the Best Gifts.
No matter how small your space is, hanging basket will add a pop of colour to your garden. Your greenhouse, as the weather gets colder, is the ideal place to hang these ornaments. Once the spring shows its first sun rays, you can bring them outside to greet visitors.
Thoroughly think for the most appropriate flower plants that will grow into an attractive flower ball. Before buying a flower ball as a gift, try to grow your own while on vacation.
Flower balls can be reinvented from the usual to more eccentric. Instead of the conventional stationary rounded mass of flowers, explore the potential of this ornament. Keep in mind that it is intended to make a grandmother or in-law the happiest gardener in town.
These planters will be your next masterpieces in your garden. Brit + Co has 35 awesome ideas for DIY planters. Not just creative, planters are practical to have in a garden. You can play with space, and they can be move from one place to another.
Preparing for winter requires anticipation and thorough planning. Aside from emergency kits and enough supplies, think about these 3 items for keeps.
Go around the greenhouse and check for mature harvests, fruits and vegetables. You can still enjoy the flavours of the current season by preserving it for the winter.
Learn the practical ways to preserve harvests for winter. Berries, peas, rhubarb, and apples (blanched) freeze particularly well. Tomatoes, peppers and apples are good for drying. Beetroot and shallots are delectable when pickled. Read on Mother Earth News for more tips on preserving food.
Where to gather the ingredients in creating the best healing concoctions for winter? Have a quick trip to your yard or greenhouse, discover the best things it offers for you to survive winter.
Have enough knowledge about healing plants. Chives, basil, coriander, dill, fennel and ginger are just among the natures powerful medicinal plants. Mother Nature Network has remedies to help you through winter.
Most cooking spices are not for refrigeration. The slightly humid environment may alter the flavour of the spices in the long run.
For this idea of preserving spices for winter, turn your garden shed or workshop into a still room. This room has enough space for processing and storing the spices; fill hanging rack with spices drying for winter use. Way back in the old times, this room serves the same purpose where the lady of the house is in charge. Today, we have the workshop where we can keep the spices we love to enjoy without buying from the groceries.
Winter may not be your season. But since you are a seasonally adjusted person, every season has a modified means of keeping your spirit whole year round. Something special is stored for versatile people, stay upbeat. | 2019-04-25T19:43:11 | https://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/blog/life-and-gardening-for-seasonally-adjusted/ |

How can ship grounding affect your community?
When a ship runs aground, there can be impacts to reefs, beaches, and seagrass beds. These environments are often critical to the economies and cultures of the surrounding coastal communities. Groundings can also lead to oil spills or releases of hazardous chemicals.
How do we respond and restore?
NOAA works with the U.S. Coast Guard and vessel salvage companies to identify the best way to remove a vessel, while minimizing additional impacts. When ships run aground on coral reefs, emergency actions can be taken to salvage broken corals and quickly stabilize reef structures.
On September 18, 2003, M/V Kent Reliant grounded at the entrance to San Juan Harbor, Puerto Rico.
Ships of all sizes sometimes run aground in our nation's waters, despite improved navigation aids such as satellite-based navigation and precise nautical charts. Such groundings commonly result from storms, mechanical failure, and human error. Groundings that occur in coral reef and seagrass habitats can be particularly damaging. | 2019-04-21T12:17:19 | https://darrp.noaa.gov/ship-groundings |
QATAR. Private wealth continued to experience positive growth between 2016 and 2017 (8 percent), and this growth is projected to remain steady over the next five years according to a new report by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Global Wealth 2018: Seizing the Analytics Advantage.
Personal wealth in the Middle East rose by 11 percent to $3.8 trillion in 2017, a significant increase compared with the CAGR for the previous five years. In comparison, personal wealth in Qatar has grown at 9 percent between 2016 and 2017. In 2016 to 2017, private wealth was driven primarily by the positive development of life insurance and pensions.
In Qatar, personal wealth is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8 percent and expected to reach $270 billion in investible assets by 2022.
The report, BCG’s eighteenth annual study of the global wealth management industry, uses global and regional perspectives to examine such topics as the evolution of personal financial wealth, the widening revenue gap and how institutions can narrow it, and the state of offshore business. The report also takes a comprehensive look at a critical initiative for staying competitive in the marketplace: unleashing the power of advanced analytics.
“Taking an in-depth look at wealth distribution, Qatar non-investible assets are expected to increase at a CAGR of 23 percent in the next five years, while investible wealth growth is projected to accelerate at a CAGR of 7 percent,” explains Markus Massi.
“When it comes to asset allocation, currency and deposits, at 45 percent, were the highest proportion of assets in Qatar in 2017, followed by offshore assets at 41 percent, equities and investment funds at 10 percent, and life insurance and pensions at 3 percent. By 2022, currency and deposits, and life insurance and pensions are expected to experience slight growth to 53 percent and 5 percent respectively. For offshore assets, and equities and investment funds will experience a decline to a respective 36 percent and 6 percent respectively,” Massi added.
At 24 percent, life insurance and pensions drove growth by asset class between 2016 and 2017 in Qatar. Other drivers of asset class growth included currency and deposits at 21 percent, and offshore assets at 5 percent. In Qatar, equities and investment funds and bonds experienced negative growth at -16 percent and -2 percent respectively.
Looking to the future, growth by asset class is expected to experience a slightly slower, but steady growth with life insurance and pensions at 23 percent, and currency and deposits at 11 percent CAGR over the next five years. In the same period, growth in offshore assets will remain constant at CAGR of 5 percent and equities and investment funds and bonds will accelerate to -2 percent CAGR and -1 percent CAGR respectively.
While offshore share is expected to decline over the next five years from 41.4 percent in 2017 to 35.5 percent in 2022, it will continue to grow at a CAGR of 4.6 percent to reach $95 billion in Qatar in the same period.
• The Evolution of Personal Financial Wealth. According to the report, global personal financial wealth grew by 12 percent in 2017 to $201.9 trillion in US dollar terms. The main drivers were the bull market environment in all major economies—with wealth in equities and investment funds showing by far the strongest growth—and the significant strengthening of most major currencies against the dollar. In general, developed markets held a higher share of wealth in non-investable assets—particularly pension fund entitlements—than developing markets. The share of global wealth held by millionaires increased to almost 50 percent in 2017, compared with just under 45 percent in 2012. If recent patterns of wealth expansion continue, under an optimistic scenario, personal financial wealth could rise at a compound annual growth rate of around 7 percent from 2017 to 2022 in US dollar terms.
• The Offshore Perspective. The amount of global offshore wealth held in 2017 was around $8.2 trillion, 6 percent higher than in the previous year in US dollar terms. Switzerland remained the largest offshore center, domiciling $2.3 trillion in personal wealth in the country. The next-largest booking centers were Hong Kong ($1.1 trillion) and Singapore ($0.9 trillion), which have grown at yearly rates of 11 percent and 10 percent, respectively—more than three times the rate (3 percent) of Switzerland over the past five years. Net offshore inflows from 2012 through 2017 totaled over $800 billion, with Hong Kong and Singapore the key destinations. Some offshore centers, notably the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, saw net outflows during the same period.
• Bridging the Revenue Gap. According to BCG industry data gathered from more than 150 wealth managers, top performers—defined as the quartile of institutions with the highest pretax profit margins—achieved a significant lead over average performers in overall revenue growth and return on assets (RoA) over the past three years. BCG estimates that wealth managers can achieve a revenue uplift of 8 percent to 12 percent by adjusting price levels, correcting unnecessary discounts, and simplifying overall pricing structures. Product and service bundling can contribute to higher revenues if properly linked to the pricing architecture and to the value proposition for each client segment. Overall, smart revenue practices can accomplish the dual goal of increasing the top line and enhancing client satisfaction.
• Unleashing the Value of Advanced Analytics. Firms that deliver smart, individualized products, services, and prices—digitally and through a relationship manager or financial advisor—will significantly bolster their top-line growth and occupy a differentiated position in the market. But seizing this opportunity requires the deployment of cutting-edge capabilities in advanced analytics—encompassing such elements as new technology platforms, fresh development capacities, next-generation tech and data architectures, updated data and digital organizational structures and skills, and improved access to internal and external data. A full transformation along these lines can lead to top-line growth of 15 percent to 30 percent and drive efficiency gains of 10 percent to 15 percent.

As another outstanding school year has closed and we embark on another, we would like to thank and acknowledge our community for their continued support and dedication to our school. The collective work of so many individuals has made this an incredible year.
St Vincent De Paul of Brant, Save A Family, Development and Peace, the Salvation Army, the Santa Clause Parade Organizing Committee, St Andrew's Soup For The Soul, Hamilton Diocese Pro-Life Student Conference, the United Way, the Guatemala Encounter Mission Trip, Carpe Diem Social Justice, student led campaigns in support of countries that endorse education for girls and women, the National March For Life in Ottawa. Our annual Pennies from Heaven campaign raised $20,000 for families in need and relay for life secured $67 000 for cancer research. The local soup kitchen will again be a yearlong focus for our community and we look forward to assisting St. Vincent de Paul with the move to their new location.
Assumption College Prefects continue to contribute to the community in many ways. These senior students are called to serve within the school and local community. They are student leaders who share their God given talents to improve student achievement, foster Catholic faith formation, as well as develop a safe and inclusive school. We look forward to making the 2017-18 school year a better one for all.
Our Lions continue to benefit from co-curricular academic enrichment offered by L.E.A.P. (Literature Enrichment Advanced Placement), an enrichment opportunity, provided by the Department of English, that challenges motivated students from grades 9 through 12, to pursue their love of "words, words, words" (Hamlet 2.2) in oral, written and spoken form. Students experienced guest speakers, writing contests, and trips to the Stratford Festival. March 2018 is our first trip abroad to England, France and Belgium in conjunction with C.W.A.Y C (Canadian World and Youth Council through the Canada and World Studies department). In addition, our STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) group travelled to Costa Rica this year.
Last year Assumption College began offering a brand new Specialist High Skills Major in Childcare and Family Services. We are the only school in our board to offer this program. Next year the Working with Young Children's course (HPW 3C1) will be teaming up with the Strong Start organization to go and play literacy games to support our elementary panel. We are the only school in Brantford to offer this partnership. This SHSM is one of many already in place at ACS.
Our extracurricular programs excelled in the 2016-17 school year as well. Athletically, we celebrated BCSSAA championships in junior and senior football as well as track and field. We were represented at OFSAA by the swimming team, track and field and lacrosse teams. We are so proud of all of our Lions who are involved in our extracurricular programs. Please follow us on Twitter @assumptionlion to be informed of the many activities happening at Assumption College.
2016-2017 marked departures for many. We would like to congratulate Mrs. Colleen Pease on her retirement. She has been in the Lion’s den since 2004. She wore many hats at ACS. She was a special education teacher, a teacher in the Learning Center, and a guidance counsellor. She will be dearly missed by staff and students. At the end of June, we celebrated the graduation of our 2017 class. These Catholic graduates have left their mark at ACS through their high academic performance, their participation in our school’s extracurricular and co-curricular activities, and through their social justice endeavours. We know they will continue to use their God given talents to make a difference in the world. Congratulations Class of 2017. | 2019-04-24T14:25:57 | http://www.assumptionlions.com/page/principals-message-1 |
