- Your Fertilizer Tonnage Fee Working for You -
The ability to support research is made possible by a fund generated on the sale of fertilizer in the state. For each ton of fertilizer sold and reported, 17 cents is collected for this fund. Other parts of the tonnage fee go to help support the UW Nutrient and Pest Management program, as well as ag chemical clean-up and other purposes. The program consists of a 7-seat council which is responsible for recommending projects to be financed by fertilizer research funds. The council members meet annually to select projects to recommend for funding. Recommendations are made by a majority vote of the council.- FRC Mission Statement -
"FRC funds research and other designated activities to provide a scientific basis for and promote the philosophy that the Fertilizer Industry supports economically and environmentally sound recommendations, practices and technologies on fertilizer material usage by the end user."- Program Objectives -
- To gain knowledge on fertilizer efficiency, plant nutrition, and groundwater and surface water protection that can improve agricultural profitability and protect resources.

It would be nice to be able to link to a tag, notebook, stack, and/or saved search within a note.
I know you can make TOC notes on search results, but if new notes matching the search used are added, they are not automatically included in the TOC note. I think It would be nice to have a note that can guide me to related notebooks, topics, saved searches, or tags if I choose to do so.
I would just expect the link to take me to the list view I linked to.

It's spring – time to take a long, hard look at your IT infrastructure and clean out the server closet, sweep up the loose security policies and get rid of the old, outdated equipment.
Generations of women (and men; let's not be sexist) could not have been wrong when, at the first sighting of the robin, they flung open the windows and let in the fresh air, thus beginning the ritual of spring cleaning. They beat the rugs, scrubbed the windows and generally got rid of the winter clutter.
It seems appropriate that IT organizations should do much the same thing.
When was the last time your company figuratively took a broom to your IT infrastructure? Cleared the data center of power- and energy-hungry equipment? Consolidated servers or storage equipment, or better yet discarded some of them altogether in favor of cloud computing services?
A thorough scrubbing of the IT infrastructure can save a company a whole lot of money by getting rid of power- and bandwidth-hungry equipment and creating a streamlined, more efficient environment.
IT services company CDW recently came out with its tips for IT spring cleaning, which make a whole lot of sense (see accompanying slideshow). The thought process behind the tips is exactly the same as what Mom and Grandma were thinking when they started their spring cleaning: Out with the old, in with the new.
Fresh air brings fresh thinking. And every IT organization out there could use some fresh thinking, and if a little spring cleaning is what it takes to make that happen, then bring on the bucket brigade. Soon enough, your IT infrastructure will be fresh as a daisy, and running at optimal efficiency, which will save your company a bundle in IT costs.
And that will make everyone a whole lot happier.

I didn't get a tarot reading from some one until years after I started studying the tarot myself. It is very possible that my first reading wasn't until 2009, in Daylesford, Australia, the one that suggested I'd be moving abroad – and soon. (She was right. We had decided to move to Wales the day prior, and 9 months later we were in Wales.) I still primarily read for myself. For the last year or two I've begun taking advantage of the many other people I know who read tarot. Sometimes it's a good idea to get a different perspective.
It's not that I'm bad at reading for myself. In fact, I've gotten a really good feel for my decks and my intuition. But sometimes, for sticky, highly charged issues, I don't see as clearly for myself as I might otherwise, either because I'm unwilling, or maybe because I'm hoping for a certain answer, or maybe because I've asked the wrong question.
When my friend Gwydion said he was offering tarot readings, I said yes immediately (full disclosure: he gave me a discount on my reading if I would blog about it). There were actually several issues I wanted some clarification around and I finally narrowed it down to one (and no, I'm not going to tell you what it was. Bonus points if you can figure it out based on the cards below!).
You might notice the cards are in German. Gwydion lives in Germany (and is German). He blogs in both German and English. It's sort of a modified Celtic cross style reading.
While almost every tarot deck booklet, book on tarot, or beginning reader suggests a Celtic cross layout, I have found that no reader has ever used that layout for me. In fact, I rarely use that layout for myself anymore. As I've gotten more and more comfortable with tarot cards I've moved away from using it; I often create my own layouts, based on the question and the information requested.
When I received the reading my first instinct was 'did I not ask the right question? This seems so…. thin/not right/too simple.' I was really annoyed. I read the whole thing out loud to Adam and he looked at me and said, 'no, that reading was RIGHT ON.' Which made me even crankier.
See, that's the benefit of having some trusted external insight: sometimes you won't like what you hear. But it's a necessary part of growth! So I sat with the information, and then I sat with it some more. And you know? He's right on. I wanted Different Information. I wanted the How, the What. I was looking for different answers. This is why is was a good idea to have some one else do a reading for me.
He nailed a couple of things. There were a couple of things where I felt his insight gave me a new and surprising way to see something old and frustrating. Mostly I feel encouraged. I'm tempted to go back and pay full price for readings on the rest of my issues.

cosmological model
A cosmological model is a description of the universe in terms of its spacetime configuration. Assuming that matter, overall, is distributed evenly and the same in all directions, there are three basic possibilities. (1) A closed universe is positively curved like the surface of a ball and is finite in extent; such a universe grows to a certain size before collapsing again. (2) An open universe is negatively curved like a saddle and is infinite in extent. (3) A flat universe has zero curvature and is infinite in extent. The factor determining which kind of spacetime we actually live in is the average density of matter in the Universe. Depending on whether the average density is greater than, less than or equal to the so-called critical density, the cosmos is closed, open, or flat, respectively. Current observations suggest a value tantalizingly close to that needed for spacetime to be flat.

Bringing Great Ideas To Life – Together from Frank Hatzack, Novozymes
Martin Stenfeldt discusses the most important MEGATRENDS happening now.
Frank Hatzack discusses Novozymes' ONLINE IDEATIONS – massive conversations about innovation. (Part 1)
Frank Hatzack shares his extensive experience on how to make online collaboration successful. (Part 2)
Traditional industries are extremely challenged when it comes to digitalizing their business models in order to capture growth opportunities. New competitors are changing the way we look at business and the disruptive spirit of Silicon Valley's startups is now influencing all industries.
This meeting gave a shot of inspirational new ways to think about your business model. Ideas were discussed to help you make your own business 'future proof' with practical insights into Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas. And many practical cases from various industries were used as illustrations
Novozymes Head of Innovation Development, Frank Hatzack, shared his practical experience, as well. He and his team fostered a collaborative culture in Novozymes which lead to disruptive new business ideas. The key to success lies in creating an agenda which is intellectually compelling and emotionally engaging. Also, turning ideas into prototypes and products requires sufficient absorptive capacity in the organization. Going forward Novozymes wants to engage the outside world even more in its value creation through external crowdsourcing and open source innovation.

Internet safety is becoming a huge concern for Teens, students and for parents. Even the adults are not completely safe from internet threats.
If you love surfing websites, watching videos and scrolling Facebook? You may be under threat. The study says 70% of the internet users are under some kind of surveillance or threat. It is really important to know how to use internet and how to be remain safe while using it.
It is really important to know how to use the internet and how to remain safe while using it. Here is a complete discussion on internet safety for teens and kids and rule guide to follow while you use the internet.
The Internet is an amazing way to connect with friends, shopping online, sending and receiving money or doing many things. But at the same time, there can be many things which can be happened to you and you have never expected.
Someone may steal your identity and can use it in some illegal works. Someone can use your pictures and will show it in an unwanted manner (especially for girls). He (She) may bully you online or even offline after knowing your residence.
Someone may steal your identity and can use it in some illegal works. Someone can use your pictures and will show it in an unwanted manner (especially for girls). He (She) may bully you online or even offline after knowing your residence.
Important points to know before knowing about internet safety
- Web sites like Facebook and google have every information about you. There can be many people who can steal your identity from there. You should use them very carefully.
- Your browser and device can be tracked to your exact location only when you are online.
- The websites can open your camera, microphone and other files/apps when you are using them. You can check background processes and applications regularly.
- Unwanted things can get downloaded while downloading software or files into your device. You should better keep eye on your downloads.
- Government and some other websites always watch us when we use the internet so there is no place where no one can see you on the internet. They may never know who you are, but they can always find your existence.
- Your internet service providers can track your online activities and things you share on the internet if they want. (but this is illegal).
- There is an incognito mode in good browsers which will help you to never save your passwords and activities on your browser (but it will not make you invisible)
- Whatever you have posted on internet never vanishes once it is written. Even after you delete the information it can be retrieved if needed.

Internet safety tips for every Teen and kid to follow
I was travelling in the bus when someone called me and said: "Your bank ATM is now blocked and we need more information to open it again". He claimed himself as vice-president of "ALL INDIA ATM ORGANIZATION" (it doesn't exist in reality…lol). It was a great fun talking to him as I was aware of this kind of fraud.
Here are the important things to follow
- Talk to the strangers very carefully.
- Never ever visit adult and suspicious websites in your mobile devices as they are more vulnerable.
- Never ever share important passwords and never keep them even in drafts.
- Always use a proxy while using internet websites which are supposed to have adult material and torrents.
- Use better password i.e.
ILOVENEHA, ADMIN, myemail@are weak passwords. use something which is random and contain numbers and special characters i.e. 43re3E@31ff is a good password.
Always use some proxy while surfing sensitive materials and when you don't want to be tracked.
I recommend using premium zen mate proxy service as it has many advantages.
You can sign up for a free account at first and try to check your location. The free account is limited to speed and locations but premium services are cheap and provide great security.
Final Internet safety (security) rule book for every teen and kid while using the internet
- Use good antivirus software for your mobile and computer.
Buy the best antivirus software online for cheapest price in India
- Use proxy services to be anonymous while using the internet.
- Never share your password details on chats or emails to anyone (yes! not to your friends too)
- Never trust anyone who is asking for your password, address and birthday without any reason.
- Never share your bank details on any website until and unless you trust it fully.
- Spend money on good software and be safe. Most of the pirated software share your information with the other parties.
- Don't share much information on every website except your email and name. they may sell your information.
- It is not very easy to hack someone until you are on the same network with the attacker so don't be panic. Take care of yourself while using public WiFi in airports, malls and railway stations.
- There is always someone who is watching you Click To Tweet so don't do something which causes trouble. It is not very tough to get tracked for an illegal activity.
- Ads are not spam you are safe on websites which show ads but don't use websites with so much redirection.
Final note on online safety for teenager kids and students
The Internet is a good thing if and only if we know how to use it properly. Internet fraud and hack can happen to anyone on the internet. There can be many ways to threaten you and stealing your information on the internet. Every detail about you is important and can be used against you. There are many agencies in the world which are regularly tracking nearly every device in the world we will never know their names. We can only be safe by using the internet smartly and knowing more about it.

If you have ever seen images of winged lions associated with St. Mark, whose feast day is April 25, you may have wondered why this creature represents the evangelist. The association with the lion is quite strong—not only does the winged animal represent St. Mark, but it also is the symbol of the city of Venice, where it is believed that St. Mark's remains now rest. This tradition of symbolism actually has its roots in scripture and sacred art.
It's no secret that romance in the modern world is not what it used to be, nor is it the idealistic picture we see in movies and books. This reality has left some people thinking that there is no such thing as real romance, or that even if there is, it is not something worth pursuing.
"The glory of God is man fully alive." -St. Irenaeus
God didn't create us to be slaves or sleepwalkers; he created us to be free and fully alive. This is a prayer for the grace to live and love as God intends.
To live a well-ordered life so that my love may be wild; Lord, grant me the grace.
If you have ever studied the differences between Protestantism and Catholicism, then you have most likely encountered discussions on the concept of sola Scriptura. Translated as "Bible alone" in English, sola Scriptura refers to the belief that sacred Scripture is the only definitive authority on Christianity, and that the Bible is complete and infallible. This view is prominent among Protestant denominations.
Of the many, many Catholic religious orders in the world, the Jesuits (officially called the Society of Jesus) hold the honor of being the largest male religious order. But just who are the Jesuits?
While talking to my pastor a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I hadn't met a religious sister until after college. He was surprised to learn this at first, but then, he realized it made a lot of sense—religious sisters just aren't as present in parishes as they used to be, at least in our area of the country.

What is the focus of your training and consultation? Two aspects of Wilhelm Reich's pioneering work are the focus. My first emphasis is on the theory and practice of Character Analysis. Secondly, I teach a somatic form of therapy which goes beyond mindfulness to deep functional change. This includes knowledge accumulated from many decades of work with the brain, which is now emerging as central to our understanding of psychopathology and healing. Learn more about my training methods here.
Why add yet another methodology to my therapist's tool kit? I teach a method that offers a theoretical and emotional understanding of the functional identity between the patient's presenting character style and its somatic expression. This leads to a surer path toward your patient's Real Self while giving you, the practitioner, both greater professional satisfaction and protection against compassion fatigue. Read more here.
Who are you and what qualifies you to teach this material? I'm an MFT (1987) with over 2000 hours of advanced training. My unique background includes, besides expertise in Gestalt and BodyMind Integration, dual certifications in both neo-Reichian and classical orgone therapy. I have a (overly!) full therapy practice and have experience teaching in academic, clinical and private settings. Read more about my background and download my CV here.

Eye care professionals specialize in understanding how the human eye really works, as well as diseases and conditions that affect your vision – many of which do not have obvious symptoms. Eye doctors know how age and risk factors affect vision over time for young and old, and they understand the benefits and features of corrective lenses including eyeglasses and contacts.Dr. Dampier takes the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options and listen to your eye care needs. Because maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, we encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing and treating potential vision problems.

Relative persistence and dispersal of age-0 and age-1 largemouth bass stocked into two Ohio River embayments

In October of 1998 the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources stocked age-0 [mean total length (MTL) = 178 mm] and age-1 (MTL = 273 mm) hatchery-reared largemouth bass into two embayments of the Ohio River. Stocked fish were fitted with both an anchor tag and a visible implant elastomer mark. A multifaceted sampling approach was undertaken to (1) evaluate the persistence of stocked largemouth bass, (2) estimate fidelity of stocked largemouth bass to release sites, and (3) compare return rates of the two age classes. Although stocked largemouth bass comprised the majority (81%) of all bass captured in electrofishing surveys of the stocked embayments during fall 1998, catches declined rapidly during winter 1998, and by spring and summer 1999 stocked largemouth bass were virtually absent from electrofishing surveys. Creel surveys indicated no catch of stocked largemouth bass in the release sites after winter 1998. Electrofishing surveys, creel surveys, and angler call-ins all suggested stocked fish did not persist and either moved out of the stocked embayments or died. The results suggest that stocking advanced-size largemouth bass into these embayments only provided a limited and short-term enhancement of the fishery in those areas.

Ray of Light Series No. 8 :: Kacy Christiansen/
Years ago, my friend called and told me she felt lonely. Life was hard for her at that moment in time, as it was for a lot of folks during the mortgage crisis and market crash of 2008, myself included. She wished we lived closer and I wished for the same. We comforted each other with phone dates, an occasional girls' weekend and trips to each other's homes with our families. It was never the ideal amount of time (it never could be), but it filled in our need until the next time we could be together.
Around this time, she started making new friends through her social network with the work she was doing. Initially, if I'm being honest, I was a little envious. On one hand, I was glad she wasn't as lonely as she had been, but I felt left out and maybe even a little worried I would lose her to these newfound relationships. With hindsight as my superpower now, I can see how naive and immature I was about this worry. She was building her tribe and, of course, I would still be a part of it.
Over the past nine years, my friend collected people to help bring more contentment and fulfillment into the areas of her life that she wanted plumped up. It was like she was adding in people to her social sphere that clearly represented all of the different facets that she, too, possessed. She was amplifying who she was and she did this with vigor and purpose.
Her tribe consisted of both men and women, mothers and fathers, creatives, spiritual seekers, entrepreneurs, life-long friends, animal and nature lovers, yoga practitioners, caretakers, friends of friends, humorists, truth-tellers and people who possessed beautiful souls that complemented her own.
She ended up gathering people that she connected with spiritually, emotionally, practically and, always people who had a sense of humor. Always. She was a friend and mentor to hundreds of people through her work alongside her husband. She was a good person. She loved being surrounded by people, but she also loved laying in bed with me and watching reality t.v. Kacy was most definitely larger than life at times, but she was also solitary and introspective. She definitely contained multitudes.
As my plane touched down in San Francisco and we were taxiing to the gate, I turned my phone on and slid my finger across the screen to turn off airplane mode. As soon as I did, the texts and voicemail icons started filling up. The closest members of her tribe were reaching out to me. It was time.
As I was running through the Virgin terminal to catch the next plane back to Las Vegas, memories sprang up in a constant loop like a schizophrenic slideshow - a memory of us laughing so hard in a redwood sauna that we almost peed ourselves; a memory of her laying baby Jack across my swollen, pregnant belly so that he could hug my unborn child; a memory of us riding on a jet ski in Laughlin with her hair whipping me in the face and me holding onto her tiny waist; a memory of her making me get up on stage so she could tap a tambourine on my ass. That one is one of my favorites.
I have never witnessed someone dying before. As unbearable as it was at times to watch her be in pain, it was also a privilege and an honor to share space with her family and close friends and feel the love emanating off of all of them for her. There was an undercurrent of gratefulness running through me as I held her hand, gently rubbing her smooth head and whispering sweet nothings into her ear during her final days. When her husband hit play on his iPhone and Amazing Grace came out of the tiny speaker, I knew he had finally accepted that she was leaving us. It is a moment that will be forever burned on my brain. That man loved her with a ferocity I have never seen before and probably never will again. He did everything he could for her and, in the end, he had to do the hardest, yet kindest, thing he could for her...he gave her permission to let go.
As the time was upon us to say our goodbyes, I realized how clever she was in collecting all of the people she did over her lifetime. Whether physically in the room or not, her tribe was holding her up and would continue to hold up her family long after she was gone. I know she orchestrated all of this, either on a conscious or subconscious level. She was just that kind of lady.
As she was taken off life support and all the extraneous tubes were removed, there was a quiet, reverent pall over Room 22. Her family and friends were present, music was softly playing and we witnessed her taking her last sips of air. It was hauntingly beautiful and achingly sad to witness her leaving this realm, but I was immediately comforted by the fact that she was no longer suffering, no longer in any physical pain. She rose up and left us with all of our memories of her on February 22, 2017.
I am deeply honored to have known this woman for 28 years. It will take me some time to unpack all of this grief and sadness, but I'm so fucking grateful to know this pain and actually feel it and not want to numb out from all of it. I think feeling this way means I have loved and been loved greatly, right? And, there is deep satisfaction and seeds for healing planted in this knowledge. I believe this to be true with my whole heart, but it may take me awhile to cultivate it and rejoice in the new growth. For right now, I just want to simmer in all of my memories of her and try to learn from this hard lesson that life has just bestowed on me.
Godspeed, Kacy.
This is a special installment in the Ray of Light Series to honor my best friend, Katherine "Kacy" Christiansen. I gifted her a certificate for her last birthday (her 50-one-derful birthday) that promised her her very own Ray of Light art piece to celebrate her recovery from breast and brain cancer. She had one picture that I wanted to use, but she was unable to access it from an old hard drive. Time slipped by and I never got to make it for her. To process some of my grief, I will be making her one of her very own and will gift it to her family in the future.
Update: 2/22/18
I finally made good on my promise and created a Ray of Light using Kacy's image last night. She came to me in a dream yesterday morning and I knew it was time.

Women with multiple sclerosis may have an increased risk of relapse in the months following in vitro fertilization (IVF), a French study showed.
The annualized relapse rate (ARR), or the number of relapses divided by the person-years at risk, was significantly higher during the 3-month period following IVF (mean ARR 1.60) compared with the 3 months just prior to the procedure (mean ARR 0.80) and a 3-month control period a year before the procedure (mean ARR 0.68), according to David-Axel Laplaud, MD, PhD, of the University of Nantes in France, and colleagues.
Action Points
- Women with multiple sclerosis may have an increased risk of relapse in the months following in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- Note that the greater risk was possibly associated with a failure of the procedure to result in pregnancy and the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists.
The greater risk was possibly associated with a failure of the procedure to result in pregnancy and the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists to desensitize the ovaries, the researchers reported online in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.
"Multiple sclerosis patients should be aware of a possible increased risk of ... relapse after IVF, particularly if the procedure does not result in a pregnancy," the authors wrote. "Furthermore, because there is a reasonable doubt that gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists may make patients more prone to such an increase in relapse rate, gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists might be preferred for IVF protocols."
Sex hormones have been shown to be associated with disease activity in multiple sclerosis, and so it is possible that the hormonal treatments used during assisted reproductive techniques may influence short-term disease processes, according to the researchers.
To explore the issue, they examined data on 32 women with multiple sclerosis who underwent 70 IVF treatments from 1998 through 2008. The women were identified either through French university hospital databases or by direct referral from neurologists.
Each IVF treatment included the initial step of ovarian desensitization with either gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (in 48 cases) or antagonists (in 19 cases), followed by ovarian stimulation with follicle-stimulating hormone. Data on the drugs used for ovarian desensitization were missing for three treatments.
Of the 70 IVF treatments, 49 failed and 21 resulted in a pregnancy.
During the 3 months after the procedures, 19 women had a total of 26 relapses, with a significant increase in the relapse rate compared with periods immediately prior to and 1 year before the treatment.
The researchers noted, however, that when the period of interest was extended from 3 to 6 months after the treatments, the increase in relapses was not statistically significant.
"Thus, it is difficult to conclude whether IVF may provoke additional relapse or only shorten the delay between IVF and the following relapse," they wrote.
The significant increases in relapses were related both to IVF failure (P=0.019) and the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (P=0.025), although the latter interaction did not reach significance for all statistical tests.
IVF performed with gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists did not lead to a significant difference in ARR, regardless of study period length.
"Failure of IVF led to a decrease in sex hormones that might be similar to that observed in the postpartum period where an increased relapse rate has been demonstrated, thus providing a plausible explanation for the results observed in our multivariate analysis," the authors wrote.
They added that the stress of an in vitro fertilization treatment may also trigger relapses.
The study was limited, they wrote, by the small cohort, possible bias introduced by pooling patients recruited through different means, and the lack of a control group.
The study was supported by a grant from the PHRC Inter-régional 2005 (French Ministry of Health).
The authors reported that they had no conflicts of interest.

Sometimes it is the little things that make a voyage remarkable. We arrived in Vancouver to a beautiful sunny and warm day. I had forgotten how green and beautiful Vancouver can be at this time of the year. We were met by a very friendly Holland America representative who helped us find our luggage, answered all our questions and provided great company. As part of our booking we received transport to the hotel and was surprised to have received a cab ride compliments of HAL. We were expecting a bus. Not having to worry about transportation was great. We were very pleased with our accommodations at the Pan Pacific hotel. Our room was ready early for us and we were able to check in at 10:30 am. After a quick sanitizing of our room we felt comfortable to settle in for the day. The next morning our suitcases were picked up in our room and taken to the ship. Another nice extra. We tried to tip the porter, but he refused our tip stating that everything was taken care of. Another nice extra. Checking in on the ship took a little longer than expected. We were in a line for about 45 mins and then waiting another 15 mins to board. We headed straight to our cabin and found it to be in a great state. While sanitizing the cabin, we found some damage on the desk and found the refrigerator was soiled and contained an opened bottle of water. A quick call to concierge and the fridge was emptied and cleaned for us. Sail away from Vancouver was late. We were supposed to have sailed away at 5, but didn't get underway until 5:55 pm. We went top deck to sail under the Lion's Gate bridge. A quick trip to the Lido for dinner. The Prime Rib roast was delicious. The hilight of Day 2 has got to be dinner at The Pinnacle Grill. This evening was formal night and we usually skip it. We decided instead to take in the PG and it was excellent. Crab legs were available but no cavair. The food and service was the absolute best. We were warmly welcomed and our server Diane was gracious, professional, friendly and made the evening. The food was excellent with my only complaint being we ate too much. I should also point out that the Dive In was not on this cruise. Before we leave Day 2, we had lunch in the main dining room. Let me just state that we are not fans of the MDR, but lunch today was great. The food was hot, tasted great and the servers were somewhat attentive. We weren't offered tea or coffee at all, but we weren't in the mood for any either. We had planned to go to the Dutch Tea but decided not too. Just too much food. We will be trying the MDR more on this cruise. So far we are also very pleased with our Steward Doni. Very friendly and approachable and we appreciate his hard work. He has been with HAL for 10 years and it shows. Doni takes great pride in his work. Day 3 was Juneau. We had wonderful weather and a great whale watching tour. The folks on the excursion were wonderful. Tonight we decided to try the MDR for dinner. It was below expectations. My DW's Caesar salad had hardly any dressing on it whatsover, the steak was a little undercooked and her veggies were cold. The seafood platter that I had was salty. I had the pork for an entree and it was good, however, my potato was cold also. When our server brought us coffee, he didn't bring any spoons so we had to wait until dessert was served before we could try our coffee. We were surprised by this service as we arrived at 7:00 and there were plenty of empty tables in the dining room. Day 4 was Skagway and what a wonderful day. The sun was shining and the temperature hit 17 Celsius. A great day for exploring the down town and for the white Pass train ride. The train ride was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it. Day 4 was also a Lido day. Partially because the MDR is not living up to a great experience and also because we are now at the part of every cruise where nothing looks especially great on the menu. Tonight we took in the Volendam Singers who performed the first performance of Classique. We enjoyed the show and thought that they did a wonderful job. Day 5 and Glacier Bay. The sun was shining, the water was like glass and the views were outstanding. Clearly the highlight of our cruise. You truly owe it to yourself to visit this majestic land. Our second formal night. On a side note, we are noticing that more and more passengers are choosing the Lido over the MDR. We went to the MDR for lunch and it was excellent. Service was good and the food tasted great. I had Asian Pork Ribs which were tender and served in a tangy sauce. DW had the burger and it was great also. It would appear from our unscientific experience that the MDR is a great place for lunch. For dinner, we ordered room service with items from the MDR. We enjoyed the surf and turf on our balcony while we cruised. It was wonderful. The food was excellent and enjoying it on our balcony made it a very special evening for us. Tonight's show was comedian Rich Purpura. We really enjoyed him. During a time when many comedians resort to vulgarity and expletives to be funny, it is always refreshing to find a comedian who is funny without being insulting or rude. A note on the ship. The Volendam appears to be in great shape. I haven't heard any complaints about the plumbing or air conditioning. It does appear though that the air conditioning is disabled while the ship is in port. Her decor is a tad dark and we find our suite to be dark also. I am a little disappointed though that the " flower ship " does not have a lot of flowers throughout the ship. There are only a scattering of orchids in the Lido and most of them are in a sad state. There are a couple of large floral displays in throughout, but I was expecting more. The floral arrangement in the Pinnacle Grill is outstanding. Day 6 and Ketchikan. We decided to try the MDR for breakfast. DW ordered waffles and I ordered Eggs Royale. Both meals were cold. Butter did not melt on the waffles and the eggs Royale were cold in the centre. On the plus side, the hash browns were hot. We have decided that we will not be going back to the MDR for breakfast or dinner anymore. I am always concerned about the health issues of eating food that is not served at the correct temperature. We also find that the service is lacking in the MDR. Waiters rarely approach your table to inquire whether everything is to your liking and instead sometimes ask at the end of your meal whether you enjoyed it. I simply cannot understand how room service can deliver a meal piping hot while the MDR cannot. Today was spent exploring Ketchikan and shopping. Lunch was at Burger Queen and their halibut sand which is the best. Just turn left once off the ship and walk until you come to the tunnel. The takeout is right at the end of tunnel. Last day. The last full day of our cruise was cruising the inside passage. As Alaskan cruise is different from other cruises in that there is nearly always beautiful scenery to watch all around the ship. Lunch today was in The Pinnacle Grill and it was delicious. The food was tasty and hot and the service impeccable. Lots of passengers out shopping today and enjoying the casino. We had dinner tonight in the Lido and it was disappointing. There was only one poor lady serving the hot line and many of the items were not available. Tonight's entertainment was the show Droom. It was really enjoyable. The costumes were amazing and the dance moves were wonderful. The scenes with the butterflies were amazing. All in all, a most wonderful and enjoyable cruise. Sun and clear skies for the entire trip and a great experience aboard the Volendam. Read Less
Sail Date April 2014

"You can buy a ticket, but you can't pick the destination." — Ken McLeod
When beginners sit down to meditate, they generally hope for certain experiences: calm, clarity, a sense of well-being, even bliss. There are literally centuries of anecdotal evidence of this, and today we even have direct scientific evidence of the positive results of meditation. But what most people actually experience at first can be quite different from this.
Meditation is the practice of cultivating awareness. As Ken McLeod says, when you decide to become aware, you don't get to pick what you become aware of. When we begin to notice how our minds actually work, we get the bad news: we are not nearly as consistent as we thought we were. We may see ourselves as kind and reasonable, but we notice thoughts that are cruel and capricious. We may see ourselves as strong and courageous, but we notice vulnerability and fear.
Meditation doesn't cause these "new" thoughts and feelings to arise: it simply reveals what is already there. What's there right now is the result of what we've done and experienced in the past. Of course we don't have much influence over this — things are just unfolding according to past events and actions.
The value of meditation is not just the calm states it can sometimes produce (although those are very nice), but fact that it allows enough "space" in the mind for us to see how we're causing needless suffering for ourselves and others. We do have influence over our future states of mind, because our future state of mind will be a result of what we choose to do from now on. If we stop letting our patterns run our life, things will change. And that's good news.
"The practice of meditation is the study of what is going on. What's going on is very important." — Thich Nhat Hanh

About the Scholarship
Are you a talented Australian, passionate about this country and with the desire to contribute to its future?
Then you should apply for The Cranfield Australian Alumni Scholarship, which will give you the opportunity to develop world-class leadership and management skills by undertaking the intensive one-year MBA programme at Cranfield School of Management.
This Scholarship is the pre-eminent opportunity for outstanding Australians who have diverse work, educational and life experiences and who possess the entrepreneurial and business leadership talents to benefit from the learning opportunity and then contribute to Australia through their increased knowledge and skills.
The Cranfield Australian Alumni community are driven by the ethos of contribution and "pay it forward". We as Cranfield alumni have benefited from our Cranfield Experience and are now helping the next generation of talented Australians, who in their turn, will help others to follow them.
Funded jointly by Cranfield Alumni in Australia and the Cranfield School of Management, UK, the Scholarship was established in 2005 to give talented Australians the opportunity to accelerate their professional, personal and leadership development. Cranfield School of Management's MBA programme is highly regarded and highly ranked:
- #8 in the UK, #17 in Europe in the Financial Times 2018 ranking of full-time MBA programmes
- #6 in the UK, #16 in Europe and #62 in the world in The Economist Which MBA? Full-time MBA ranking 2017

Our Scholarship aims to increase the number of Australians with internationally ranked skills in leadership and management, who will then contribute both to the economic welfare of the nation as well as to the values that make Australia unique.
How this Scholarship is distinctive
The Cranfield Australian Alumni Scholarship is distinctly different from the other notable scholarships available to Australians for overseas study, e.g., Rhodes, Menzies, Fulbright and Sir John Monash scholarships. All of these excellent scholarships have a strong research and academic focus emphasis and eligibility criteria and are oriented to post-graduate level research candidates.
By comparison, our Scholarship is aimed not at theoretical or research-based study—although we see it complementing the important endeavours of those other scholarships. Rather our Scholarship is aimed at the acquisition and then practical application of knowledge to leadership and management. Our focus is to identify and develop candidates with business management, leadership or entrepreneurial talent. For this reason, our scholarship is open to applicants who may not have completed an undergraduate degree, but have demonstrated through exceptional work track record that they have the intelligence, talent and persistence to do well.
Perhaps one day we will see Cranfield Scholars running businesses which commercialize the research discoveries made by Monash and Menzies scholars.
Who is eligible to apply
Eligibility for CAASF has been deliberately defined in simple terms. Applicants must:
- Be Australian citizens residing in the country during the selection process,
- Have at least 3-4 years of practical, "real-life" work and life experience with a track record of success and whilst there are no fixed upper or lower limits for age, given the experience criteria, applicants will most likely be around 28 to 34 years of age,
- Have the talent and passion to contribute to Australia's future.
- Be accepted on the Cranfield MBA programme, through the normal Cranfield application process. Cranfield's entry requirements are:
a. Minimum GMAT score of 600; OR successful completion of the Cranfield Admission test (CAT), and
b. Successful work experience of over three years
Please note:
If you do not fulfil the eligibility criteria eg you are Permanent Resident but not a citizen, you should still register with us, as there may be other scholarships that we can advise you of.
Because we do face-to-face interviews, you need to be based here in Australia during the selection process to be considered for the CAASF scholarship. If you are an Australian travelling/working overseas, we cannot interview you, but again, you should register for the same reason as above.
See more information under FAQs.
What the Scholarship covers
The scholarship covers
- tuition fees for the full time MBA programme, presently (2018) £39,000, and
- a cash grant towards accommodation, living and travel expenses.
CAASF depends for its funds on the generosity and support of alumni together with corporate donations. In the past, the amount of the cash contribution has been $20,000, but we cannot guarantee this each year. Whilst we will seek to maintain the scholarship award at the above figure, the future value will depend on the amount we are able to raise in the preceding year and we will announce the value of the current scholarship by the end of July each year.
Depending on prevailing exchange rates, the total value of the scholarship for 2012 is around $AUD80,000, making it the most valuable in Australia for a single year of study.
Accommodation on the campus at Cranfield ranges from catered Halls of Residence, Apartments to Houses for families. The cost of a single room including meals in a hall of residence is around A$8500 for the year of study as at 2013.
"Paying it forward"
We as Alumni have benefited from our Cranfield experience and are now helping the next generation of talented Australians to gain access to the exceptional management and leadership development that the Cranfield MBA offers.
We expect those that we help to, in their turn help others to follow in their footsteps.
We ask those who benefit from the scholarship to "pay it forward" in any way that best works for them, that is by contributing time, effort, money or resources. As a minimum, we expect the Scholarship winners, TwentyTwelve/ Feeshare awardees to:
- Promote the Scholarship amongst their professional and personal networks
- Write a blog during their time at Cranfield
- Do a short video during their year which we normally show at the Award Dinner in May and then load onto our web site.
- Act as a public face for CAASF whilst at Cranfield and at any opportunity thereafter
- And as a minimum, support the scholarship financially.
In this way, we ensure that the cycle repeats and the Scholarship lives on in a sustainable way.
Our Aims for the Scholarship
The Cranfield alumni in Australia created the scholarship as a means of contributing to the vibrancy of the Alumni community here and also as our contribution to this country. We also have other aims that we wish to achieve through the scholarship:
For the applicants
- Applicants experience a professional and rigorous selection process which will be a valuable learning experience in itself.
- The winner has the age, talent and work experience to capitalise on the unique opportunity. This scholarship demonstrably enhances the winner's personal and professional abilities and career and is thus seen as a highly valuable prize.
- Even if the applicants decide not to go to Cranfield to study for an MBA, the contact with alumni and the discussion process serves to trigger applicants to consider the value of management study in developing themselves professionally and personally and that this encourages them into further management education locally.
- Exposure to an international learning environment and fellow students feeds back into the practice of management in Australia.
For the Alumni
- The annual process of running the scholarship provides a vehicle for all Australian Cranfield alumni from all Schools to work together on a worthwhile project of great value to Australia.
- The annual award event (to be held on alternate years in Melbourne and Sydney) provides an excellent opportunity for all the Alumni to get together once each year.
- The personal rewards gained by talent spotting potential applicants for the scholarship, inviting them to alumni functions and encouraging them to apply for Cranfield scholarship creates a focus which enlivens the local alumni groups.
- Increased MBA enrolments from Australia feed back into increased growth and energy in the local Cranfield alumni groups.
- The publicity associated with the scholarship and its high-profile sponsors and alumni, raises the recognition of Cranfield University and the School of Management in Australia and the unique value of the Cranfield MBA
For Cranfield University and the School of Management
- The increased profile for Cranfield increases the quality and number of MBA applicants from Australia. This feeds a virtuous cycle; excellence and diversity in the student body leads to increased richness and quality of learning, which in turn feeds the success of the Graduates and the School as an academic research and teaching institution.
For Australia
- This scholarship, through the diversity of its reach and the skills and knowledge in leadership and management that it will develop in the recipients, has the capability to make a significant impact to Australia.
- As the scholarship aims to improve the quality of leadership and management skills in all sectors of business and the community, we actively seek diversity in age, education and professional background in the registrants. The scholarship will be particularly attractive to highly skilled specialists who wish to broaden and strengthen their management experience.
- In the longer term, Australians with internationally ranked skills in leadership and management contribute both to the economic welfare of the nation as well as to the values that make Australia unique.

College Hub
Littlegreen Hub at Chichester College
The transition between school and college can be an extremely difficult one for young people, so at Littlegreen School we focus on making the transition to college and adult life as successful and exciting as possible.
Key Stage 4 students have the opportunity to spend two days in our Littlegreen provision at Chichester College and three days a week at Littlegreen School working towards formal qualifications.
Littlegreen students have the chance to improve their social and communication skills in the wider world, as well as gaining subject-specific knowledge on the vocational courses of their choice. Many are working towards recognised qualifications in practical subjects such as Motor Vehicles, Sports and Construction. Students attend vocational courses at both the Chichester and Brinsbury campuses, each offering a wide range of events and services of which we are able to participate. These include careers interviews with the Positive Futures team, Safe Drive Stay Alive and also many charity events. Those who have opted to be at College full-time also spend their working week studying formal qualifications in core subjects.
In the Littlegreen Hub, all lessons are delivered by Littlegreen staff who continue to implement the school's values and ethos. We believe that by providing the opportunity to shine outside of the classroom, our students will find the transition to life beyond compulsory education easier and more enjoyable.

Basketball Discrimination
ESPN's TrueHoop blog published an interesting nugget the other day. Aspiring NBA player Aaron Craft was asked during a Q&A why so many fans seemed to dislike him when he played basketball recently in the NCAA.
"I'm white. I'm short. Other people can do what I do. Things like that. It's interesting."
Craft speculated that one potential reason a significant percentage of college basketball fans didn't like him was because of the color of his skin. But don't expect any outrage (there was no follow up question) or national media coverage. When it comes to possible discrimination against white players in the NCAA or NBA, the media is mostly silent.
This isn't new, unfortunately. In another TrueHoop blog post, J.A. Adande quoted former Duke basketball player J.J. Redick. "If you look at the history of the last 20 years of Duke basketball, it usually is a white guy that people dislike."
In fact, this issue goes back much further. In his amazing autobiography, Second Wind, published in 1979, ex-Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell wrote (page 188 of my edition):
As a rookie in 1957, I was the only black player on the Boston Celtics, and I was excluded from almost everything except practice and the games. Exactly twenty years later, I was coach and general manager of the Seattle Supersonics, which had only two white players on the team – and they were excluded from almost everything but practice and the games. The black players left them out of meals, conversations, parties and anything else that makes a lonely road trip bearable. I told the blacks how unfair this was, and they made a token effort to change, but they said the white players were just too different.
Other players have said that such discrimination also occurs on the court. Writing in Slate in 2007, ex-NBA player Paul Shirley talked about how black players would think he was inferior because of his white skin color.
"When I was on defense, the other team would give the ball to whomever I was guarding and yell, 'Take it to him. He can't guard you.' They did that not because I am from a middle-class home, or because I grew up on a quasi-farm, but because I am white."
If some of today's players, such as Aaron Craft, still feel they are the victim of racism, why aren't more sports writers and analysts bringing this phenomenon to light and speaking out? There are countless articles condemning racism against African-Americans in major league sports and the Donald Sterling scandal exploded to the extent that President Barak Obama felt compelled to comment. Why is there a dearth of honest writing about what it's like to be a white player on a mostly black NBA team?
One reason is of course political correctness and clicks. Sports writers seem to fear that if they write honestly about prejudice experienced by white athletes, they will somehow minimize the very real suffering felt by African-Americans. There is also a feeling that because whites are still so dominant in American society, any discrimination that an individual member of that race may feel is minor compared to the challenges other people are facing. And articles/blog posts about discrimination faced by African-Americans and homosexuals seem to get the most clicks, for a variety of reasons.
The media has also been too quiet regarding issues of anti-Semitism in the NBA. When Phil Jackson complained about NBA teams having to play on Christmas in a strange way, I only saw one mainstream writer (Mark Kreidler of ESPN.com) tackle the issue.
'It's like Christian holidays don't mean anything to them anymore. We just go out and play and entertain the TV. It's really weird,' (said Jackson).
I'll tell you what's weird. What's weird is hearing a decorated, spiritually diverse coach make what sounds like a coded jab at the Jewish commissioner of the league for which he works, in the days leading up to a Christian holiday.
And not enough has been made of the many Jewish conspiracy theories that bigots perpetuate about the NBA.
If players in 2014 feel that fans hate them solely because of the color of their skin, something is drastically wrong and the people who are paid to write about this stuff should be doing more. If one form of discrimination is wrong then all forms are wrong, regardless of political correctness.
UPDATE (October 9, 2014): following an NBA preseason game, Sacramento Kings rookie Nik Stauskas said:
I understand that I'm a rookie and I'm white, so people are going to attack me at all times…Just coming out there in the game, I felt it right away.
Just another example of how white players feel they are treated differently by opposing players. And the San Antonio Spurs' Danny Green felt it was appropriate to take a selfie at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.

I was very excited when I joined the RAAF to do my Rookies Course. I was just seventeen years of age and being away from home, I was very nervous and home sick, but I soon settled in. I had been have a bit of nervous tummy, with occasional cramps and diarrhoea, and put it down to being away from home, hoping that it would settle down.
When it started to have blood in it, I got a little worried about it and then it stopped. I had forgotten about it, when it returned again but this time it was a lot more. I saw a medical officer at the Base Hospital, who examined me, and said you have haemorroids. He gave me some cream, and said come back if it is still bothering you. Well, I went away feeling like a bit of a dill making a fuss over haemorroids. The next day, I was in the barracks toilets, when I felt faint and realised I was losing a lot of blood, much more than before. There was no one around to get some help. There were usually lots of girls chatting but today, just when I needed someone to get some help, I was totally alone. I started to walk to the door and then I collapsed on the floor.
When I came too, I was in the emergency ward of the General Hospital. I was told that I had haemorrhaged so badly that I had to have a large blood transfusion. I inquired how I had got there was told that one of the airwoman had found me on the floor, and an ambulance had taken me to the RAAF Base Hospital. I was then transferred to the General Hospital. The surgeon came and saw me and said I would need immediate surgery because I had a mass in my abdomen, probably a sigmoid volvulus. This is when a loop of your bowel has twisted round itself and cuts off of the blood supply and there is subsequent dying of the piece of bowel that is not getting enough blood through it . In other words, you have a bowel obstruction. He said I was to have a colonoscopy as well, to determine the cause of the bleeding from the bowel.
At surgery, the surgeon's fears were confirmed. Not only was there gross inflammation in my colon (large bowel) and rectum, but I did also have a sigmoid volvulus. There was a large area of my bowel that had been cut off from its blood supply and had subsequently died.The proper term for this is Ischaemic Gut Obstruction. Due to the large amount of inflammation I saw he told me, I suspect that you have Ulcerative Colitis , which is a disease of your colon and rectum with inflammation of your large bowel. I had to have extensive surgery to my bowel, requiring in the end an ileostomy to be performed.
ILEOSTOMY; An artificial opending that is made between the ilieum and the outside. It is made surgically in the right lower abdominal wall when the colon has been removed, usually for ulcerative colitis.
I spent the next few hours in recovery and then was taken to a room. I kept thinking about the bag that was now attached to my tummy, how long was it going to be there? How would I look after this thing? My tummy was sore from the big cut that the surgeon had made, but the Pethidine they were giving me was taking the edge of that . I felt so alone because this was Melbourne and I knew not a soul here. The nurse explained that I would be seeing a Stomal Therapist, who is trained to give you all the information about looking after your stoma. My what? Did she say stoma? She will also tell you about the types of appliances that are available and fit you with an appropriate one. There was a lot more to this ileostomy thing than I realised, but I was about to find out just how much more.
The Stomal therapist arrived just after breakfast, all cheery saying "and how are we feeling this morning, I hear it was touch and go with you. ischaemic bowel obstructions have to be caught fast, or you can die from one. You are very lucky indeed". Then why doesn't it feel that way to me, I said to her.You'll get used to having an ileostomy, very soon you will be a pro at changing your bag when it is appropriate. I just need to fit you for the correct appliance, as everyone is different and all stomas are different. She carefully lifted off the dressing that had been placed over my operation site. This is a well formed stoma, it shouldn't be too hard to find something suitable. She went on to fill me in on all the do's and don'ts about living with an ileostomy. I listened with much concern worrying how I was going to learn to cope with this bag attached to me. When everything was done, I looked down and saw this little pink thing, that looked something like a cherry (stoma). She placed the bag on top and said, i'll be back tomorrow to see how you are going. At least now I knew what a stoma looked like, but I still had my doubts about living with the thing.
I am now officially an ostomate accordingly to the Stomal Therapist. I continued to see the Stomal Therapist for the next ten weeks, getting more confident with my ileostomy each day that passed. I was starting to realise that really it wasn't so bad, afterall I could have died if the surgeon hadn't operated on time. I even gave my ileostomy a name which was very appropriate. The day I came home from the hospital, I took off my bag to empty and without any warning, this big spray of stuff came shooting out from the inside of my stoma and went everywhere. I thought the best name for my stoma was "SQUIRT''. Somehow, it was easier to refer to my ileostomy in those terms, so it was affectionately called this name.

How wrong could I be, when I thought that life would be smoother once the AtoZ Challenge was over. It got anything but smooth. But Am I complaining? Not At All! You would think I must be crazy for whining but not complaining at the same time. Well! Here's a peek into what all happened during the month. You would understand better!
My First e-Book
I was still recuperating from the frenzy of AtoZ Challenge when I realized I had no time to relax. My posts needed some serious editing,before they could be submitted for the EBook Carnival with Blogchatter. So whoosh went the first week of May and I was having sleepless nights over my blog posts and their editing.
Book writing is a complex process. More complex than anyone can ever fathom from the outside. It's like unraveling the layers of a cabbage (Yes! A Cabbage) . You wouldn't know when it's ok to stop. Because the more layers you pull out, the shinier is the skin revealed. But how shiny is perfect shiny when you are editing your manuscript? I have learnt some of my lessons.
But yay! I am a published author now. As a young 20 something old, when I read my M&Bs I often wondered if I could ever write a love story and felt very strongly that someday I should be able to write something worth reading. (well then, things weren't this simple, but I wanted to get published in a newspaper weekend magazine. The one where my dad worked!)
You may download my book here –
And today I have done it. My second manuscript is already in the pipeline, but will have to wait until end of this year to see the day of light (The reason? Read on to know more)
Until then, its gratitude for such joys of life.
Examination Fever
No! It's not my kids who have their exams! There's still a couple of years for that. Its me who is trying to study for a qualifying exam to pursue my professional goals. (The profession that I practiced before I became a stay at home mom and an aspiring blogger). While preparing for this exam, I realized that I have lost all capability to learn by heart and realized that if I stood any chance of clearing the exam, I have to practice. Life just isn't all that supportive this month and not going to get better in another 20 days. Why? Becasue the kids have their summer vacations from the 12th of this month through 20th of the next month. Only when the kids' school re-opens my life will have some chances of getting back in a routine. Right now I live in a crazy house. Ooops that's the next part of this post.
Right here…. I am thankful that I still have it in me to be able to study for an exam.
Summer Vacations
My mother was often thankful for the vacations, because it gave her a chance to catch up on her sleep a little longer. But I have just not taken after her in this regard. I have dreaded the vacations all season, and felt that I am going to be a part of a nightmare. But it's already been three weeks into the vacations and life hasn't been all that difficult. It's been hectic for sure, but manageable. I have been able to study for atleast 1.5hours everyday, spend upto 3 hours for my blog and spare an hour for my spiritual healing (through Meditation and practicing Forgiveness) Also, we (as in the kids and me) have been spending some quality time doing fun stuff such as creating a sand pit for play in our porch, setting up a tent in our balcony, learning to play board games etc. Its vacation time and I have hardly been having 6 hours of sleep daily. It really is crazy.
I really want to thank god for giving me the perseverance to work hard towards achieving my goals that I have set for myself this year. Despite a lot of physical discomfort and tiredness, I have been able to keep up with my schedule.
Oh! I forgot to mention about another first for my blog. This World Menstrual Hygiene Day, I hosted my first ever Blog Train with 12 other fellow bloggers. It was also my first ever attempt at a giveaway and a contest. It was one helluva learning experience. I am many times wiser now, on how to run a campaign.
Despite all the above mentioned challenges and the hangover from AtoZ Challenge I was able to put up 11 posts in the month of May'18. Life of 'Me, the almost blogger' is getting better at it. Gratitude to the blogger communities to help me keep going.
June is going to be equally crazy, with vacations till 20th of the month, several blogging engagements that I have committed myself to and the ongoing exam preparation. With just a month left for the exam, I am very nervous right now.
I think I must thank the almighty in advance for the strength and persistence that will help me sail through.
This post is participating in April 2018 Gratitude Circle blog hop at Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles
