Andrew's Trip to Uganda - October 2012
Andrew Wommack Ministries continues to share the almost-too-good-to-be-true-news of the gospel in Uganda as the ministry expands its presence into previously unreached areas of the country.
Many readers probably remember the post we shared two years ago about the passing of Leland Shores III, the former Director of Charis Bible College in Uganda. Because of Leland's unexpected death, AWM was forced to close the Kampala-based campus at the end of 2011. AWM never gave up on the extension school; rather, Andrew and his staff waited for God to bring new directors to lead CBC-Uganda. As we shared in a post in September 2012, those directors have been found in Hank and Mary Lenz. The couple welcomed 150 students to class when they reopened the school at the end of January 2013.
In addition to the school, AWM has been advancing the gospel in other ways in Uganda. For the past eight years, Andrew has been broadcasting the Gospel Truth twice a day on Lighthouse Television. This station, also located in Kampala, was originally erected by the Chinese Communists for Uganda's brutal dictator, Idi Amin. Once used to broadcast Amin's propaganda, this station is now used to advance the Kingdom.
AWM also established a bookstore in downtown Kampala, at the busiest intersection in the city. Nearly 10,000 people walk past the location each day. An average of 25 people per week come to the Lord, and many more receive prayer and the baptism of the Holy Spirit through ministry at the bookstore.
More recently, the Lord has opened new doors for AWM to expand into one of the most remote areas of Uganda—the Karamoja region in the northeastern part of the country. This area is home to more than one million people, living in 5,000 primitive villages.
The people in these isolated villages live as their ancestors did a thousand years ago. The tiny grass huts, in which they live, are made of sticks with thatch coverings. Some of the larger huts have two levels; the lower level is only about four feet tall, and the entire hut is only eight feet in diameter. It is not uncommon for families of eight or ten people to live in the lower portion alone! With the exception of cooking pots and mats for sleeping, the families have no possessions. Some of the villagers do not wear any clothing.
Perhaps the saddest part of the Karamoja existence is the overwhelming malnutrition and widespread water contamination. The villagers are ranchers and goat herders, but fighting among the people has wiped out the majority of the cattle. All that remain are very small, thin goats. With the villagers' focus set on trying to find enough food to survive each day; it is a seemingly hopeless situation. They are only a step away from death at any given time.
Spiritual poverty is rampant in the region as well. The Karamojan people have no idea what a Bible is or who Jesus is. Instead, they adhere to the many pagan practices of their ancestors.
Here's the good news: God is moving in Uganda—even in the remote areas of Karamoja—and His Word is beginning to go forth in powerful ways. Recently, Ugandan President, Museveni, publicly repented for all of his sins, as well as those of his nation, and he dedicated Uganda to the Lord. Uganda is in revival, and God has positioned AWM to be a big part of what He's doing there.
Last October, Andrew visited Karamoja with a Ugandan pastor named, Francis. Pastor Francis is from the southwestern region of Uganda and was among the first Ugandans to be discipled through AWM. Pastor Francis has personally discipled more than 300 ministers and, with AWM's help, he teaches the Discipleship Evangelism course on five radio stations, reaching thousands of people on a daily basis.
After seeing the physical and spiritual poverty of the Karamojan people, Andrew knew he had to do something to help them long-term. As he shared his heart with Pastor Francis, Andrew learned that after pastoring for twenty-five years, Francis had heard from God that beginning in 2013 he was to turn his church over to an associate and begin traveling to teach Andrew's Discipleship Evangelism course full-time. In January 2013, Pastor Francis came to work for AWM, and through their partnership they are reaching the people of Karamoja.
Francis travels to Karamoja regularly and uses the Discipleship Evangelism program to train approximately one hundred believers. He teaches up to five lessons over a couple of days and then sends the disciples out in groups to show the JESUS film in the native language of the people. This in itself is a huge deal, as most of the people in this area have never seen a movie. Just showing the film could draw every person in the entire village to come and watch.
After viewing the movie about Jesus, villagers have a frame of reference as to who Jesus is and what He did for them. Immediately after watching the film, Pastor Francis' team gives an invitation to receive the Lord. Over the weeks that follow each outreach, the new converts are discipled by those who have already received the Discipleship Evangelism training.
In addition to these efforts, CBC-Uganda will take their future mission trips to the Karamoja region, bringing hundreds more laborers into this harvest field. With these avenues in place, Andrew and Pastor Francis plan to reach all the villagers in the region with the gospel within three years.
For more on the Karamoja project, be sure to check out our Inside Story post In the Backcountry of Uganda. In that post we share an interview with Andrew as well as pictures and video from his trip.

Major Crimes Detective Samantha Reilly prefers to work alone—she still struggles with the death of her partner. The only person who ever sees her softer side is Michael Turcotte, a teenager she rescued eleven years ago from the aftermath of his parents' murder-suicide.
In foster care since his parents' death, Michael is a loner who is changed by a violent assault that triggers a disturbing ability to view people's dark futures. No one believes his first vision means anything—not even Sam Reilly. When reality mimics his prediction, however, Sam isn't the only one to take notice. A strange girl, Tessa Masterson, asks Michael about her future, and what he sees sends him to Sam—is Tessa victim or perpetrator?
Tessa's tangled secrets draw Michael and Sam inexorably into a deadly conflict. As Sam and Michael track a cold and calculating killer, one misstep could turn the hunters into prey.

Eric Taylor
First of all, a philosophy I have about Magic. I don't really believe in the great players of Magic "creating" decks like Fish-Opposition that Alex Borteh used to such great effect in Worlds, nor do I believe in the great thinkers of Magic like Jay Schneider "creating" the thing we now call the mana curve, where you play lots of little guys, less medium, and few large guys so that you can use all your mana every turn.
Instead of "creation", I like to think of Magic deck building and theory as a sort of "discovery". For every metagame, for every card set, the decks already exist just waiting to be discovered. Instead of creation, I see Magic deck builders and theorists more like scientists discovering pre-existing facets of nature.
The pertinence of this to the idea of tempo is that I don't feel that I'm inventing the idea of tempo; it already exists. What I'm doing is trying to find out what tempo is and finding a way to use this idea to the utmost to make new and powerful decks in both Limited and Constructed. I also feel that while there might be an alternative idea of what "tempo" means, I don't think that both of them can be right. It's certainly possible I don't have the perfect idea of what tempo means in Magic, but it's not just a simple definition I thought up, but something real that people already use.
Two of the more basic forces in Magic are tempo and card advantage. Card advantage is simple, you draw extra cards or somehow two for one your opponent some way.
Tempo is a much more slippery idea. Tempo is time, and what is not immediately obvious to some people is that time is equivalent to mana.
Suppose you tap and summon a Grizzly Bear. Then your opponent taps and summons a Gray Ogre. The Grizzly Bear deck has gained a tempo advantage. It has used less mana for what is essentially the same thing.
Now suppose the Gray Ogre deck uses Repulse to put a Grizzly Bear back into the opponent's hand and then Mr. Gray Ogre attacks. Repulse is a card people have been using in IBC as a "tempo" card, but in this situation, the Repulse is not gaining tempo. It is losing tempo.
The reason is that Repulse costs to put Grizzly Bear back in the hand, but next turn Grizzly Bear will be cast for only . That's a ratio of 3:2.
Situation 1.
If both players have six mana and Gray Ogre/Repulse man has infinite Repulses, while Grizzly Bear man has infinite Grizzly Bears, each turn Gray Ogre man will bounce two Bears while Grizzly Bear man will play three back, netting him a gain of one Bear each turn.
It's all in the mana.
In IBC right now, decks have lots and lots of those little 2/2 guys for 2 mana. Does this means that Repulse isn't that good? If you are looking at the early game then yes, Repulse is not very good. It loses you tempo to be bouncing your opponent's bears. Your opponent will get more guys out and if it's a pure race with just bears he will win.
However, there's more to Repulse than that. In some situations Repulse can in fact be used to gain tempo. For the sake of simplicity, let's assume nothing of importance is drawn from the Excludes and Repulses or top of the deck during this mini-game.
Situation 2.
Player A:
In hand: 4x Exclude
In play: Bear, Bear, 4x land
Player B:
In hand: 1x Exclude 1x Bear, 1x Repulse
In play: Bear, Bear (both tapped from attacking last turn), 4x land
In this situation both players have 4 lands in play 2 bears in play, while both have Exclude in hand. In this case, gaining tempo is not a simple matter. Gaining tempo here is all about finding ways to use your mana effectively while your opponent wastes his by not having an opportunity to cast a spell at the right time.
Turn 1.
Player A has nothing so he has to say attack, then done. Player B can use Repulse during the attack phase, but if he does that Player A can just replay the bear. What if Player B waits until the end of Player A's turn and then Repulses a bear? Here, he has used the mana efficiently, and Player A has 4 mana untapped-all his mana for the turn unused.
Now Player B can untap and attack, but he doesn't immediately play his bear. He just waits, because he doesn't want to run into an Exclude. He has an advantage now with two bears vs. one in play.
Turn 2.
Player A can cast his bear, which Player B answers with Exclude.
Player B now untaps and casts his third bear, and with Player A only having 2 mana up he can't prevent the bear from being cast.
Player A wasted entire turns without using his mana. Player B on the other hand used his mana every turn. He gained a huge amount of tempo. The effect of the tempo gain in this mini-game is that at the beginning Player A and Player B stood at 2 bears in play apiece while at the end Player B was ahead three bears to one.
Now normally if you do things like Repulse a 2/2 that cost 2 mana and then Exclude him, you're going to lose the tempo race. In this situation, even though you are using 3 mana and your opponent has been using 2 mana, the player with the relatively mana inefficient spells has been gaining tempo because his mana has been used at a better time.
Now notice something about Exclude. The main reason it is so good is not because it necessarily gains you tempo, but because it gains card advantage.
Here's an obvious way for Repulse and Exlude to gain tempo:
Situation 3.
Turn 1.
U-w with 5 mana available, Repulse, Exclude, 2 bears in hand.
Cast bear, leave 3 mana up.
R-g with Skizzik in hand.
Cast Skizzik with kicker. U-w Repulses Skizzik.
Turn 2.
U-w casts other bear, leaves 3 mana up.
R-g casts Skizzik again with kicker, U-w Excludes Skizzik.
In this situation, r-g used up ten mana and with a +0 card gain, while u-w gained 2 creatures in play, and had net +1 card gain (all the cards here were neutral except Exclude which gained a card).
Repulse in this situation gained 2 mana because it was used on a Skizzik which costs more than the Repulse, and at the end of this minigame you can see u-w has gained tremendous tempo from it, with u-w having two creatures in play to r-g's none.
So, we have seen the three situations. In the first, Repulse wasn't so good, because the opponent only had bears, in the second, both players had only Bears, but by timing his spells well, the player with Repulse still gained tempo by forcing his opponent to be unable to use his mana. In the third, Repulse was used on a more expensive creature and gained significant tempo.
I have a feeling people are playing Repulse too much in IBC right now. The reason they play it is either from copying other people's decks, or because they have a misguided notion that it gains them tempo. Remember it's not bounce that makes tempo, it's mana efficiency. If one player has Swords to Plowshares and the other has Repulse, the person with Swords to Plowshares is going to gain a tempo advantage because his creature elimination spells are so cheap. Repulse really shines when your opponent plays creatures that cost more than 3, (or to save one of your own creatures from a removal spell, but that is more about card advantage than tempo).
In IBC right now, everywhere you see decks made mostly of these 2/2 for two mana guys, all kinds of bears with special abilities, and it's extremely hard to do what I did in situation 2, that is gain some sort of tempo advantage when your opponent only has these bears. Against red-green, Repulse is very good against Skizzik. The problem of course is that most of red-green's creatures only cost two mana and you end up losing because your Repulse is more expensive than him recasting his guys. The real bulkwark of the w-u in the current IBC format against other fast decks is not playing lots of Repulses but playing lots and lots of bears. Besides you can't Repulse a Voice of All if it gains protection from blue.
One general rule about tempo is that you can normally give up card advantage to gain tempo or you can give up tempo to gain card advantage. Sometimes cards give you both tempo and card advantage. These cards are normally very powerful.
If you use a Dark Ritual to power out a Phyrexian Scuta on turn two you have given up a card (the Dark Ritual) to gain tempo.
On the other hand, if you cast a Jayemdae Tome, then use it for a few turns, you have been giving up tempo in order to draw cards.
One card which can gain both tempo and card advantage is Wrath of God. If Player A has, for instance, three bears in play and Player B casts Wrath of God, he has used four mana compared to Player A's six, a tempo advantage of two mana, and he has also used one card (the Wrath) to Player A's three cards, giving the equivalent card advantage of Ancestral Recall in addition to the tempo. That's a tremendous swing.
Notice by the way, if Player A only has two bears in play, the tempo is even and the Wrath of God only gives a 2 for 1. It might not seem like much, only playing out 2 creatures instead of 3, but if you compare the tempo and card advantage, the jump from 2 to 3 is a huge difference when Wrath of God is involved. One last point in this Wrath of God example: If Player A casts out the two bears, and then instead of casting the third bear, just lets the mana sit unused in fear of Wrath of God, then Wrath of God can still gain a tempo advantage, because it forces Player A to not use his mana. In a situation like this where Player A's mana sits unused all the time, he isn't trying for the bum rush, but conserving his resources, and instead of a purely tempo game he is trying to prevent too much card disadvantage when Wrath goes off.
At Worlds this year, one of the best plays the red-black deck could make against the u-g
Saproling/Opposition decks was Ritualing out a Plague Spitter. Normally, a Ritual will certainly cause card loss in exchange for the tempo gain, but the u-g decks had creatures all of a toughness 1. So not only is there a tempo gain, but also virtual card advantage from that first turn Plague Spitter. The combination of both tempo gain and card advantage is a huge edge and was key to Tom van de Logt winning Worlds.
Now finally to return to IBC again, my favorite deck in the format is Pat Chapin's r-u-b deck, which is built almost entirely of tempo and card advantage cards.
Patrick Chapinr-u-b deck
4 Shivan Reef
4 Salt Marsh
4 Urborg Volcano
5 Island
5 Swamp
3 Mountain
4 Blazing Specter
4 Ravenous Rats
3 Flametongue Kavu
4 Void
4 Undermine
4 Fire/Ice
4 Fact or Fiction
3 Yawgmoth's Agenda
3 Terminate
2 Recoil
2 Trench Wurm
2 Lobotomy
2 Spite/Malice
2 Disrupt
1 Crosis, the Purger
3 Gainsay
2 Dodecapod
1 Flametongue Kavu
Perhaps the most overlooked card right now in IBC is the all star in draft, the Flametongue Kavu. At 4/2, he is a meaty creature on his own, but he only needs to kill a random bear - any creature at all - for him to gain not only card advantage, but a significant tempo advantage.
Void is another overlooked card in IBC. When your opponent has all bears, and your best creatures cost 4 mana, you can gain significant card advantage and tempo advantage when this is played. Rats are two for one, here you gain no tempo, merely card advantage. Rats are very good against 1 toughness creatures like Blurred Mongoose and Raging Kavu, better in the early game than Nightscape Familiar and especially good when you recur them via Yawgmoth's Agenda.
Notice here how Terminate is one mana cheaper than the often-used Repulse, and as such much more often can gain tempo than Repulse. It isn't bounce that makes tempo, it's the relative mana costs each player is using for his spells. The Chapin deck has 4 Fire/Ice and 3 Terminates for early removal, which are tempo neutral in regard to the typical 2/2 for 2 bear, and can gain Tempo vs. anything costing more than 2 instead of the 3 mana break-even point for Repulse.
There are no Urza's Rages in this deck. The reason is simple: Rage costs three mana, and in this format, it is mostly used to fry some bear. When you pay three mana to destroy something costing two, all that happens is you lose tempo.
My final advice for people trying to win in IBC is to start looking more closely at spells which cost only one or two mana, things like Fire/Ice and Terminate, and less at things which cost three like Repulse and Urza's Rage, so your deck can gain a nice tempo advantage.

|Chemical identification of the sources of commercial Fructus Chebulae.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16042149 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Twenty-eight commercial samples of Fructus Chebulae were collected from local herbal markets in Taiwan and were determined to have been derived from Terminalia chebula Retz. and Terminalia chebula Retz. var. parviflora Thwaites, which differ markedly in external appearance. Ten tannin-related constituents [gallic acid (1), chebulic acid (2), punicalagin (4), chebulanin (7), corilagin (8), neochebulinic acid (9), ellagic acid (11), chebulagic acid (12), chebulinic acid (13) and 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (14)] were identified and quantified by HPLC. Samples derived from T. chebula. var. parviflora, which are typically round-shaped, generally contained higher concentrations of 13 and 14 but lower levels of 12 compared with those from T. chebula, which are largely oval-shaped. The ratio of the concentration of 14 to that of 4 may serve as a potential parameter for differentiating samples from the two origins (T. chebula, ratio 0.6 +/- 0.3; T. chebula. var. parviflora, ratio 3.4 +/- 2.2). Levels of the three major bioactive constituents 12-14 were found to provide good references for the quality assessment of Fructus Chebulae. The ratio of the concentration of 12 to that of 14 may offer a guideline for determining quality as well as origin of the drug (lower-grade T. chebula, ratio 12.4 +/- 6.0; medium-grade T. chebula, ratio 8.8 +/- 7.9; higher-grade T. chebula, ratio 3.2 +/- 0.8; T. chebula var. parviflora, ratio 1.6 +/- 0.7).

My parents like to travel a lot. Sometimes because of my dad's job and sometimes to see new places. They like to bring me different types of food from these places. Recently, they brought me roasted cocoa beans from Belize. I wasn't sure what to do with unshelled cocoa beans, so they have been sitting in my pantry while I figure that out.
I do know that my second boy loves eating these. They are so full of caffeine though that he acts completely not like himself when he has some!
After about 30 minutes, I only had a little less than a 1/4 cup of cacao nibs. That turned out to be plenty for 8 scones. In fact, I probably should have tried to make these nibs even smaller.
I used my usual scone recipe and just added 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom, 1/4 cup candied ginger, and the cacao nibs.
Ginger-Cardamom Scones with Cacao Nibs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/4 cup of cacao nibs
- 1/4 cup candied ginger
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp extract of choice
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Sift together dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, ginger, and cardamom. Using pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat pieces with flour. Mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Add in the cacao nibs. Make well in center and pour in heavy cream. Fold everything together; do not overwork.
Press dough out on lightly floured surface into a circle about 8 inches in diameter. Cut circle into 8 wedges. Place scones on ungreased cookie sheet, top with candied ginger, and brush with heavy cream. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Let scones cool before using glaze.
Glaze Directions:
Mix milk and sugar together for glaze. Add extract and butter. Melt in microwave 30 seconds on high. Whisk glaze until there are no more lumps, then drizzle over scones.
I have learned that scones just look better with a glaze on them! Not all of them need the glaze. In fact, this one probably would have done better without it. I will give it a try without glaze next time. I think this recipe still needs a little work. The ginger flavor could be more pronounced, as well as the cardamom. They must still have been good, because my kids were more excited about these than the lemon poppyseed scones I made at the same time!

Deep Relaxation: Learning the Corpse Posture
The simplest and yet the most difficult of all Yoga postures is the corpse posture, also widely known as the dead pose. This posture is the simplest because you don't have to use any part of your body at all, and it's the most difficult precisely because you are asked to do nothing whatsoever with your limbs. The corpse posture is an exercise in mind over matter. The only props you need are your body and mind.
Here is how you do the corpse pose:
1. Lie flat on your back, with your arms stretched out and relaxed by your sides, palms up (or whatever feels most comfortable).
Place a small pillow under your head if you need one and another large pillow under your knees for added comfort.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Form a clear intention to relax.
Some people find it helpful to picture themselves lying in white sand on a sunny beach.
4. Take a couple of deep breaths, lengthening exhalation.
5. Contract the muscles in your feet for a couple of seconds and then consciously relax them.
Do the same with the muscles in your calves, upper legs, buttocks, abdomen, chest, back, hands, forearms, upper arms, shoulders, neck, and face.
6. Periodically scan all your muscles from your feet to your face to check that they are relaxed.
You can often detect subtle tension around the eyes and the scalp muscles. Also relax your mouth and tongue.
7. Focus on the growing bodily sensation of no tension and let your breath be free.
8. At the end of the session, before opening your eyes, make sure you stay relaxed for as long as possible.
9. Open your eyes, stretch lazily, and get up slowly.
Practice 10 to 30 minutes; the longer, the better.
Ending peacefully
Allowing this posture to end on its own is best — your body knows when it has benefited sufficiently and naturally brings you out of relaxation. However, if you only have a limited time for the exercise, set your mental clock to 15, 20, or however many minutes after closing your eyes as part of your intention. If you need to have a sound to remind you to return to ordinary waking consciousness, make sure that your wristwatch or clock isn't so loud that it startles you and provokes a heavy surge of adrenaline.
Staying awake during relaxation postures
If it looks like you're going to fall asleep while doing the corpse posture, try bringing your feet closer together. Also, periodically pay attention to your breathing, making sure it's even and unforced. Catnaps are generally excellent; if, however, you're experiencing insomnia, save your sleep until you go to bed at night. In any case, the benefits of conscious relaxation are more profound than any catnap.
The beautiful thing about relaxation is that you are conscious throughout the experience and can control it, to some extent. Through relaxation, you become more in touch with your body, which benefits you throughout the day: You can detect stress and tension in your body quicker and then take remedial action. Also, you avoid the risk of feeling drowsy afterward because you inadvertently entered into a deeper sleep. Remember that sleep is not necessarily relaxing. That's why we sometimes wake up feeling like we've done heavy work in our sleep.

Why ExxonMobil Might Just Be a Growth Stock
As the largest energy company in the world, ExxonMobil doesn't seem like an ideal candidate for growth investors. The typically slow-and-steady oil and gas behemoth is usually more closely associated with value and dividends. After all, those are the elements that have defined ExxonMobil over the past several years.
But you might want to think again before you write off ExxonMobil as a lumbering giant. That's because in addition to its reliable dividends, ExxonMobil has a number of projects lined up this year and over the next few years. Combined with a recent asset trade with upstream exploration and production company LINN Energy , these initiatives have the potential to put some life back in the company's production. Before long, ExxonMobil might just prove that it's a growth stock, too.
Wheeling and dealing
ExxonMobil is fresh off a deal with upstream master limited partnership LINN Energy involving LINN's prized asset in the Permian Basin. Acquiring LINN's 25,000 acres in the Midland Basin section presents high potential for liquids production, which is where ExxonMobil is shifting focus. From a production standpoint, ExxonMobil will absorb approximately 2,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of current production, and LINN will retain about 3,000 barrels of oil per day.
In return, LINN receives a portion of ExxonMobil's interest in the Hugoton field that stretches across Kansas and Oklahoma. Production there stands at about 85 MM cubic feet of equivalent per day. Of this production, 80% is natural gas and 20% is composed of natural gas liquids. Total reserves are estimated to be approximately 700 billion cubic feet of equivalent, 80% of which is natural gas.
ExxonMobil is targeting liquids for its higher-margin potential. For instance, the company's upstream segment grew earnings 45% to $1.2 billion, thanks in large part to this planned mix effect. Natural gas production actually fell 9% in the quarter.
This deal is a good one for ExxonMobil because it provides steady, long-term production capabilities. It will take a while to ramp up a drilling program in the newly acquired Midland acreage, but the sizable production potential is very attractive over the long term.
Nearer term, ExxonMobil has a number of projects coming online, which should provide a boost to current production.
ExxonMobil has several aces up its sleeve
ExxonMobil expects to bring 10 major upstream projects online this year. That would represent a record for the company, and those projects have a combined capacity of approximately 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. That represents 7% growth from the 4.1 million barrels of oil-equivalent production per day in the first quarter.
Of these, the Kearl project is one of the most important. Kearl is a huge undertaking in the Canadian oil sands. ExxonMobil announced it had officially begun production at the Kearl oil sands project one year ago. The initial phase calls for production of 160,000 barrels per day. This represents 21% growth from the 757,000 barrels per day of liquids production received from North America and South America last quarter.
By next year, the company believes production capacity will double from initial levels. Over the long term, Kearl holds amazing potential. Production is expected to total 4.6 billion barrels over a 40-year time frame.
Final Foolish thoughts
A simple reality of the world we live in is that people need energy. That's particularly true in the emerging markets. So who better to fulfill this demand than the largest oil and gas producer in the world?
ExxonMobil has a stable business that produces high returns on capital like clockwork. The stock isn't expensive, pays a solid dividend, and has a number of growth initiatives set to ramp up over the next couple of years. This was likely the thesis behind Warren Buffett buying 40 million shares of ExxonMobil late last year. And he's already done well considering that his cost basis was around $90 per share. Clearly Buffett believes in ExxonMobil's long-term prospects, and for all the reasons mentioned above, you should too.
Do you know this energy tax "loophole"?
You already know record oil and natural gas production is changing the lives of millions of Americans. But what you probably haven't heard is that the IRS is encouraging investors to support our growing energy renaissance, offering you a tax loophole to invest in some of America's greatest energy companies. Take advantage of this profitable opportunity by grabbing your brand-new special report, "The IRS Is Daring You to Make This Investment Now!," and you'll learn about the simple strategy to take advantage of a little-known IRS rule.

1. Collect Sample QuestionsYou should have some knowledge about the questions which can be asked during an interview. The questions can be technical as well as personal. Search and gather all the relevant questions.
2. Use a recorderYou can use the recorder on your cell phone to do practice. You can do this by answering the collected questions aloud. Just give yourself a minute to think about the answer. You can also use a paper to write down some points. However, don't write complete answers, just write the points. Of course, you will not get a minute to think about answers in the interview but remember you are just doing practice to improve your English. After thinking about points for a minute, switch on the recorder and start answering the question based on your points. Try to speak for two minutes and do the recording for as many questions you can.
3. Listen to your recordingWhen you are done with speaking, start listening to your recorded answers. While listening, try to identify your mistakes like errors in grammar, pronunciation, and fluency (pauses and hesitation). Work on your weak areas and keep practicing as practice is the key to success.
4. Find a friend to practice EnglishYou can phone your friend with whom you can speak English comfortably. You can talk about all the general things. It would be a good practice to improve communication skills for both of you.
5. Mirror PracticeIf you hesitate to speak in English in front of others, then you can practice in front of a mirror. Mirror practice is a good option to boost confidence. Try to speak loudly and maintain eye contact with yourself. You will notice an improvement in your confidence level within few days.
6. Adopt habit of readingImprove your English and keep yourself updated by reading an English newspaper on daily basis. You can even find articles and exercises on the English language in newspapers. You can also read novels, inspirational books or technical articles as per your choice. Just read whatever you enjoy reading so that learning can be fun.
7. Search English stories with subtitlesYou can use Youtube or any other search engine to search English stories with subtitles. There are many English stories available according to the levels. You can start learning with simple stories. Stories are a good way to improve pronunciation, to learn new words, and to improve overall English.
8. Think in EnglishWhenever you are thinking about your interview or some other general things, try to think in English. Thinking in your native language and then converting the sentences is not a good idea. So, just think in English.
9. Avoid your native languageUse as much English as you can a few days before your interview. With this, you will not have a shortage of words as well as you will be more fluent and confident on the day of the interview.

House Training
House training your pup is one of the most important behaviours to teach your puppy.
In the wild dogs don't have a 'house', but they do have a den, where they will not toilet after seven weeks. Before that, Mum deals with the mess naturally. It is instinctive for them to want to toilet outside, so we use that to our advantage. Replicating the natural environment at home at the same stage it would happen in the wild will give you the best results.
The key principle we use is texture discrimination. This means the pup will be encouraged to toilet on a certain surface or material, like newspaper or grass. I use three methods of house training; some are better for people with limited outside access or a dog door, time, etc.
Method 1 is to use a substrate, like newspaper, in a small fenced area (a puppy pen) with the bed in one corner. In the ideal world, this pen would be by the back door with ready access to the lawn. The entire floor in the pen must be covered in newspaper for the first two weeks the pup is home; after that time, you will start to shrink the papered area down to one corner of the pen over another week. By now the pup will have learnt that is the correct surface to toilet on, and we can start to move the paper outside of the house. Preferably you would have a dog door or another access point for the dog to go out freely to toilet. You move the paper outside the dog door and then over the next week remove the paper entirely. Now the dog will be toileting outside on the lawn by choice. The home now becomes the dog's 'nest' or 'den' and they will choose not to toilet inside. Keep in mind it is ideal for your pup to have access to a fully fenced outdoor area via a dog door or normal door, so it has the option to toilet outside whenever it is needed.
Method 2 is crate training. This is another great trick for toilet training your pup. The principle here is that by using the pup's instinct to not want to toilet in its 'nest' or 'den', we simply create a contained nest for them - normally a small crate big enough for them to lie down comfortably. Pop them in during nap time and night time, and they will naturally hold on until you let them out. In the first few weeks you get them home, they will be able to hold on for 4-5 hours, so you will need to let them out once during the night, right before you go to bed, and as soon as you wake up. Pop them out regularly during the day to limit the chance of any accidents when you are not watching. If you do catch them in the act, it is important to rush over, grab them and calmly pop them out side on the grass until they have finished their business.
Method 3 is the pick and drop. This method is simply done, but requires someone who is around a lot.
The logic is that you put the pup outside whenever it would naturally need to go to the toilet. After feeding, drinking, playing, exercising and sleeping. Also,, if you're unable to supervise the puppy it would also be put outside. The idea is that the puppy learns that the only time it goes toilet is when it's outside and therefore the house is the nest site.
In our minds, the very best way to house-train your pup is to use a combination of all three methods. This is done by using a puppy pen with a crate in the corner, newspaper on the ground, and ready access outside to a fenced area for the pup. I pop the pup in the crate for blocks of time to help them learn not to toilet in their nest and to learn to hold on as long as they can. This is done by crating them overnight. During the day when I am not watching, they can access the paper and ideally the outside, and if I'm around I will pop the pup outside after all the appropriate times - like feeding and sleeping. By combining all three methods, you get a quicker success rate and more consistent learning from the pup.
Once the pup is going to the toilet outside on its own, and every time you can systematically start opening up the house to your pup one room at a time (making sure they don't start toileting), in a few days give them access to the next room. This will ensure they maintain their pattern of toileting outside. Remember to always give your pup the chance to go outside; if they have to go inside they will do so, so don't blame them for that. NEVER growl at your pup or rub its face in its urine or faeces, as this will only confuse and scare them. If you catch them midway through toileting, just pick them up and pop them outside calmly and encourage them to continue on the grass.

CASTROL TEAM TOYOTA READY FOR A RETURN TO THE SUGARBELTMay 4, 2015
The name "Sugarbelt" is synonymous with South African cross-country racing. And now, after taking a break in 2014, crews are preparing for a return to this iconic race, which takes place on 8 and 9 May 2015. The race was last run in 2013, and was won on that occasion by Castrol Team Toyota's Anthony Taylor and Dennis Murphy - who'll be aiming for a repeat of that performance when they line up for Round 2 of the Donaldson Cross-Country Championship.
"The Sugarbelt has been a mainstay of South African cross-country racing," explained Team Principal Glyn Hall, before the start of the race. "It is a race that is steeped in history, and winning in KwazuluNatal is always sweet, especially as it is a home race for the Ford Performance team."
Taking the fight to the Fords - piloted by former national champion Chris Visser and Lance Woolridge respectively - has been part and parcel of the last two seasons, with Toyota coming out on top despite firm opposition. But taking on the Fords in their own backyard can be a tricky proposition.
"We'll just have to push hard during the prologue," explains defending national champion Taylor - third on Round 1. "If we can get a good start for the main race, we stand a good chance of edging the Fords. But it all comes down to Friday's qualifying stage."
The terrain on the Sugarbelt is varied, with a combination of flowing tracks and rough, obstacle-ridden sections. Navigation can also be a challenge, depending on road position. With that said, the race is largely returning to familiar tracks, and the more experienced crews are sure to benefit from this.
"I haven't raced here before, but I'm looking forward to getting to know the area," says winner of Round 1 and current championship leader, Leeroy Poulter. Poulter and navigator Rob Howie achieved a maiden victory together on the RFS Endurance, the first race of the 2015 season.
With a new format in 2015, certain races in the six-round championship have been extended to nearly 700 km total distance. These races are now known as Endurance Races, with the Toyota 1000 Desert Race forming the sole Marathon Round of the season. The remaining races - including the Sugarbelt 450 - are now know as Sprint Races, and feature the more familiar format of 450 km of total race distance.
"But another change to the regulations for 2015 is that each and every race counts," explains Hall. "In the past we had to drop the points from one race during the year - typically our worst performance. But this year every round will count towards the championship, so a good result on each of the six rounds is imperative."
The Sugarbelt 450 will take place in the area around the KwazuluNatal town of Eston, about thirty minutes south of Pietermaritzburg. The prologue of 100 km gets under way at 11:30 on Friday, 8 May. The main race consists of two loops of 160 km each and starts at 08:30 on Saturday, 9 May. Spectating is free of charge, and the race will be based around the Beaumont Eston Farmers Club.

Technique Tuesday — Meditation for Consistency
As exciting as transitions are — whether you're moving into a new phase of your training, shifting your focus to a new goal, or simply adjusting to a new season — change can sometimes feel, well, overwhelming. While consistency is pretty much the opposite of change, the only thing that is truly consistent is change itself. There is, however, a quality of consistency — steadiness — that we can cultivate and sustain within ourselves amid flux.
You have the ability to remain steadfast in the way your approach your training, the way you pursue your goals, and, most importantly, the way believe in yourself. Your plans and circumstances might change, but your mental state doesn't have to.
This "consistency" is game changing.
Try this simple meditation to clear the clutter and cultivate consistency as you transition into spring...
Meditation for Consistency
- Go outside and sit with your feet on the ground (you can stand if you prefer), and rest your palms face down on your thighs.
- Close your eyes as you shift your awareness "inside."
- Begin to notice your breathing and the way your body feels. Don't force any particular pattern or pace, just notice — Where is your breath moving? Where does your body or breath feel tense or "stuck?"
- For a minute, continue to observe your breath and the way your body feels, without trying to change anything.
- Now, consciously deepen your breathing.
- Inhale as you count to 4.
- Exhale as you count to 4.
- Inhale for 4.
- Exhale for 4.
- Continue for 4 minutes, matching the length of your inhale to the length of your exhale — lengthen your count to 5 or 6+ if you want.
- As you sit and breathe and pay attention to your internal state, you might also notice or feel the constant shifts happening around you — the breeze on your skin, the sound of the water…
- Eventually, drop your focus and just feel the sense of steadiness within yourself, despite the constant motion and change around you.
- As you open your eyes and move back into your day, allow this steadiness to set the tone.
In the spirit of consistency, try this short meditation every day in April and notice the way you feel and perform as a result.
Keep asking yourself: How can I be more consistent?

The lead track, "Bad Girls," from Lee's fifth studio album topped the charts on Melon, Naver, Olleh and Bugs immediately upon its release on Tuesday while eight of the album's 16 tracks were ranked in the top 10 on Bugs and Olleh. Seven tracks listed in the top 10 chart on Naver Music. "Bad Girls" was produced by some of the same international composers that were behind Girls' Generation's mega hits "I Got a Boy" and "Genie."

Lee pre-released the track "Miss Korea" from her album earlier this month on May 6. The song gained much recognition for achieving a certified "all-kill" for topping all of the major music charts. "Miss Korea" was both written and composed by Lee herself and arranged by her jazz musician boyfriend Lee Sang-soon.
The track is not the only song that Lee took into her own hands: She also wrote the lyrics for half of the songs on "Monochrome" and reportedly used a full band rather than featuring any electronically generated sounds on any of the tracks.
Lee performed the songs from her latest album for the first time on stage during her comeback show the "2Hoyri Show" on Wednesday night, which was also streamed live online.

Choosing The Best Electric Knife Sharpener
If you are finding it hard to narrow down the possibilities, the following are some of the most important factors you have to take into consideration:
- Reviews
- Compatibility
- Ease of Use
- Size
- Material
- Stages
- Durability
- Safety
- Warranty
A good starting point is to go online and look at what other people have to say. Fortunately, a lot of them are generous to share their experiences, which will make it easy for you to weigh the pros and cons of the different options.
You also need to think about the type of knives that can be sharpened. There are some that are good only for a serrated or straight-edged knife. A better choice is one that is versatile enough to sharpen different knives.
For sure, no one wants to deal with complications. With this, look for a product that is as user-friendly as possible. The manufacturer must also provide comprehensive instructions to make the most out of the knife sharpener.
You need to think about the space available in the kitchen to determine the right size of the knife sharpener. Also, you have to consider the knives that you will sharpen to choose the size the is appropriate for your needs.
This refers to the material that is used in the sharpener. Among others, diamond plate is the most popular and is also perhaps the best. Other common materials include titanium, tungsten carbide, and ceramic.
This will determine how long it will take before the knife is sharpened. In most cases, there will be three stages. Each stage will make the knife sharper until it is fully restored in its peak condition.
Electric knife sharpeners can be expensive. To be provided with the best value for money, make sure that it is built to withstand the test of time. It should be strong enough to demonstrate the best performance even with long-term use.
You also have to pay attention to the safety features that you can find in the knife sharpener. One of the most important is to have a secure and non-slip base. The knives must also be secured properly in the slots.
What if the knife sharpener becomes defective within a year or two? It will be good to choose one that comes with an extensive warranty coverage. This means that the manufacturer will offer free repair or replacement of defective parts, provided that you satisfy the terms and conditions specified.
Care And Maintenance For Electric Knife Sharpeners
To maintain its best condition even through the years, the following are some of the things that you have to keep in mind:
- Proper storage is one of the most important things that you need to do. When it is not used, make sure to keep it in the right place. Keep it away from heat and humidity.
- Regular cleaning is also a must. Do not immerse it in water since there are electric components. Follow the instructions from the manufacturer so that you will know how to take care of it the right way.
- Use only the knives that are compatible with the electric knife sharpener. For instance, if it is meant only for a straight-edged knife, do not sharpen a knife with a serrated blade.
Top Picks For The Best Electric Knife Sharpener
In this section, we will give you a glimpse of five of the products that can offer the best bang for the buck.
- Space-efficient design
- Heavy-duty motor
- Has adjustable speed
- Can be quite tricky to use
- A bit expensive
- If price is not an issue, this is one option that should be on the top of the list. It may be expensive, but the latter is only because it has a plethora of features that make it better than many other options within the competitive landscape.
- Among others, one of the noteworthy features is the adjustable sharpening angle. This makes it versatile as you can customize the angle depending on what is preferred. You can adjust it anywhere from 15 to 30 degrees.
- The high-quality abrasive belts are also impressive. The belts are produced by Ken Edition, a company that has built a reputation for their products. It is strong and long-lasting, which means that it will withstand the test of time.
- Lastly, it is also excellent in terms of versatility, simply because it can sharpen a wide array of knives, including scissors and other tools that require an ultra-sharp blade.
+ User-friendly design

- The three-stage sharpening technology of this product is perhaps one of its greatest features. It has the triple bevel and EdgeSelect technology, which will allow you to sharpen different types of knives. It will be easy to restore the peak condition of the knife with the use of this electric sharpener.
- Another good thing about this electric sharpener is that it comes with a 15-degree angle, which is believed to be better than those with a 20-degree angle. This makes it easier to control the sharpener when it is used.
- It is also a good thing that it comes with a stropping disk, which will be helpful in providing incredible sharpening performance without taking too much material from the knife. This is one way by which it will help in extending the functional life of the knife.
- Lastly, it is also worth noting that the sharpener comes with a durable construction. It is made using premium materials, which will guarantee its long-term functionality, even with frequent use.
+ Provides you with complete control

+ Does not produce an annoying noise
– Can scratch knives
– Knives may not be as secured
- Equipped with 100% diamond abrasives, you expect nothing but the best sharpening performance from this product. It will be easy to bring your knives back into life. However, you also need to be careful as too much sharpening can leave scratches on the knife.
- This is also an excellent product because of the versatility that it offers. It is capable of sharpening both straight edge and serrated knives. Whether you have Santoku, pocket, or kitchen knives, among others, this will deliver an impressive job.
- To be assured of the best outcomes, there are three stages. It starts with sharpening the knife using a conical disk. This is followed by the use of hardened steel, and lastly, with a flexible abrasive disk system. In every stage, the knife gets sharper and when it reaches the third stage, your knife will function as good as new.
- Lastly, it is made using high-impact polymer. The material of choice is exceptional, providing you with the guarantee that even through the years, it will deliver an impressive sharpening performance.
+ Durable construction
+ Can be used with different knives
+ User-friendly design
– Minimal control
– High price
- Among others, one thing that we loved the most about this product is the ability to customize the bevel angle, depending on what is needed for the knives that you will sharpen. You can adjust it from 15 to 20 degrees.
- It also has flexible stropping and polishing disk, which is a patented technology. This is found not only in this model, but other products from the same brand. The latter will make sure that the edge will be ultra-polished, making the knife deliver unrivaled sharpness.
- While a lot may ignore it, one feature that is equally impressive is the non-slip base. It is made of rubber, which allows the unit to stay stable on the surface, regardless of how intense is the sharpening action. This is an excellent feature to make sure of safety in its use.
- Lastly, the manufacturer is offering the three-year limited warranty. This should be enough to provide you with peace of mind.
+ Sharpens knife quickly
+ Durable construction
+ Easy to use
– Can produce a noticeable noise
– Not space-efficient
- Similar to the models from Chef's Choice that have been mentioned above, this product utilizes a three-stage sharpening system. It delivers two times the power of a conventional sharpener, providing you with the assurance that the best outcomes will be apparent in no time.
- The rugged construction of the knife sharpener is also a plus, guaranteeing its long-term functionality. Aside from this, you will also have peace of mind knowing that it has three years of limited warranty from the manufacturer.
- It also has a safe knife slot. This means that the knife will be positioned securely as it is sharpened. This eliminates safety issues.
In the short best electric knife sharpener reviews that have been noted above, it is evident that such a product can indeed be useful in more ways than one. You do not need to throw the knife once the blade becomes dull. Sharpening it should be easy with the use of the right product.
From the five models that have been mentioned above, what is the best? In my opinion, Work Sharp WSKTS-KO Knife and Tool Sharpener Ken Onion Edition stands out from the rest. It may be quite expensive, but such should not be a problem, especially given the fact that it has a heavy-duty motor that delivers results that exceed expectations.

TALLAHASSEE -- A private dinner featuring Gov. Rick Scott and three lawmakers Thursday night became the latest stumbling block in an increasingly testy relationship between the new administration and Capitol journalists.
Scott met with House Majority Leader Carlos Lopez-Cantera, R-Miami; future House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, slated to take over the chamber in 2012; and future House Speaker Chris Dorworth, R-Lake Mary, scheduled to take over in 2014.
Gov. Charlie Crist had allowed any reporter to attend all such social meetings, although he had no legal obligation to do so as long as pending legislation wasn't discussed. Scott's office, however, said it would agree only if it could choose which reporters covered the event -- a condition considered unacceptable by the media.
Negotiations broke down between the two sides late Thursday.
"It's a basic and important principle of professional journalism that we operate independently to provide the fair and impartial coverage that our readers and users need," Florida Times-Union editor Frank Denton said. "Though these particular events may not seem important in the grand scheme of things, the principle is, we choose our reporters; the governor's people do not."
Denton said The Times-Union will neither participate in nor publish stories from any pool arrangement in which reporters are chosen by the governor.
The gates of the governor's mansion were locked Thursday night when reporters arrived. A blogger from the Sunshine State News, which bills itself as promoting "free-market, less-government solutions," was the only media member allowed in.
The clash is the latest sign of tension between a governor coming from the private sector, where media access is more limited, and reporters trying to maintain a level of independence that they believe is needed to effectively cover the Capitol.
"I think the important issue to a lot of the members of the press corps ... is that the governor not get to decide who will cover certain events, particularly that he not get to choose particular reporters," said Dave Royse, executive editor of the online News Service of Florida, who also serves as head of the press corps.
The latest episode began Wednesday when Scott spokesman Brian Hughes said the press corps could submit five names and the governor's office would select two names from that list to cover the dinner.
The proposal was rejected and the press corps countered that it should control selection of any pool reporter from its own randomized list. The corps also added that it would only reluctantly agree to pools when there is no legal obligation that a meeting be open. And it pushed for the selections to be made on the basis of organization, not individual reporter.
The governor's office rejected that offer late Wednesday and restated its original offer. The press corps responded Thursday with a more detailed version of its original offer, spelling out the randomized order of news organizations. At the same time, Denton sent a letter to editors throughout the state, making clear The Times-Union's position.
In an e-mail to Royse Thursday afternoon, the governor's office turned down the press corps' second offer. Hughes specifically cited a Tampa Tribune blog post of Denton's letter in his rejection.
"I reached out to the press corps in a spirit of cooperation, instead we have one more story about the press written by the press. Bottom-line: This is nonsense not news," Hughes wrote.
Hughes declined comment in a separate e-mail to The Times-Union on Thursday.
His e-mail in response to Royse is a public record under the state's open-records laws.
Media members and representatives said they were not opposed to pools, though some have been hesitant about the extent to which the Scott administration appears to be considering them.
"But the media should decide, and not the government," said Jim Baltzelle, Miami bureau chief for the Associated Press and president of the Florida Society of News Editors.
Baltzelle's organization has already raised concerns about access to Scott and his documents after meeting with Tallahassee correspondents recently.

Currently we are analysing all the feedback we have received and the discussions with the Cabinet Member will take place. Once the Full Business Case is presented to the Cabinet Member for consideration he will have the full picture of the requirements for all thirteen areas that we are looking at as a part of this project. We will send further communications out once this has happened.
Recent expansions at the University of Birmingham and facilities on the Queen Elizabeth Hospital site mean that more people are now travelling to this area. Together with new homes and an increase in car ownership, there are now significant pressures on parking in local streets. This can have a negative impact on access for deliveries, buses and waste vehicles, and on the safety of all road users. Many properties do not have private off-street parking, and so there are increasing demands on the limited supply of public on-street parking spaces. We are therefore proposing measures that prioritise parking provision for local residents in local streets, and improve access and safety of local roads.
We are working with the University and hospitals to encourage as many people as possible to make their trips by public transport, cycling and walking. Where this is not possible, we want to make sure that visiting cars are parked in appropriate places, with local residents having priority for the kerb space near their homes.
This is one location where we think we can improve on-street parking for residents and welcome feedback from people within this area.
For information on the full scheme and proposals in other areas visit: www.birmingham.gov.uk/HospUniParking
Navigate to the bottom of the page for details about public consultation events.
In area 1C, we are considering two options to improve parking:
View this plan in a new browser tab
This proposal will ban all parking from 11am - 12:30pm. This 1.5 hour restriction will prevent all day on-street parking. This will improve traffic flow in the area and will tackle inconsiderate parking.
Limited waiting has been proposed close to local amenities to provide additional parking facilities.
View this plan in a new browser tab
This proposal will give on-street parking space back to the residents and improve visibility around junctions.
Limited waiting has been proposed close to local amenities to provide additional parking facilities.
Download frequently asked questions about residents' parking.
This consultation is the first stage of this parking review and no decision has been made about whether changing the parking controls is right for the area. We are considering the 13 proposals as separate schemes, and may go ahead with some and not others, depending on the feedback from local residents.
The views and information from this consultation will help us understand whether a parking scheme is something the community supports. This is why we encourage everybody to comment and give their views.
If responses are largely positive, further work will be taken forward and more information will be circulated once this has been completed. The delivery of the schemes may need to be prioritised based on budget, demand, and location to the university and hospital.

On Thursday evening 20 IC pros gathered in Soho to learn how to unleash their creativity and channel it into their internal communications.
Led by Alan Oram from Alive with Ideas, the group spent two hours sharing experiences and frustrations, understanding blockers to creativity and how to overcome them, and participating in activities designed to get the creative juices flowing.
At times the session felt like therapy, as people analysed why creativity was important, what value it added, and how they do or don't incorporate it into their everyday lives. Heads nodded in agreement around the overuse of the word 'busy' and what we really meant when we said it, the impact distractions and procrastinations can have on our productivity, and of course the power of the duck (yep you read it right, the power of the duck).
If you're interested in finding out more, including what ducks have to do with creativity, you can join Alan on our creativity webinar on 19 May. It's one not to miss, and if you don't believe us here are a few reflections from some of the Ask the Guru attendees:
"An intriguing event with fun activities and great tips on how to release your creativity. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed being creative and, as a result of attending this session, I'm determined to make it a priority in my life."
Annique Simpson, Communications Assistant, Moorfields Eye Hospital
"Alan's activities challenged perceptions and helped me analyse how I can use creativity daily. I found the discussions inspiring and left feeling energised and full of ideas. Thank you CIPR Inside for hosting this Ask the Guru event, I will look out for future ones as this was well worth attending."
Rachel Miller, Director, All Things IC
"This was my first Ask the Guru event, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. It felt like a 'safe' place to explore creativity with other comms professionals both in terms of sanity checking my ideas and, more importantly, hearing their different perspectives. I wanted to go home and be creative straight away. I think when I'm at work next week and we're setting out a comms plan, I'd like to try the ideas we practiced to get the creative juices flowing, like picking out two random words to incorporate or, my favourite, sharing the message in a story."
Emily Wilson, Corporate Communications Executive, Norton Rose Fulbright
"Starting with a bit of a therapy session, brainstorming on our tables the blockers and distractions, was actually a fantastic release. It was great to talk about our common challenges, including personal blockers, and to consider how to overcome these to focus more on being creative and having an impact in our work. I personally found it really useful to consider how much we all say how busy we are and to find ways to manage this and unlock moments to have more time to think."
Jane Revell, Strategic Communications Consultant
Finally, a big thank you to Alan and Alive with Ideas for running the session, and to PPL for kindly letting us use their fantastic venue.

Great British Bake Off 2017 Italian week recipes – how to make cannolis from this week's episode
Has the show inspired you to bake up a storm in the kitchen? Here are the steps you need to follow
THE seventh episode of Bake Off marks Italian week with contestants tasked by Paul and Prue to make the perfect cannolis.
There's no doubt viewers mouths will be watering at the tantalising recipe, so here's how to replicate it at home.
What ingredients do you need to make cannoli?
According to a recipe attributed to Paul Hollywood on GoodToKnow, it takes around 35 minutes to put the tasty treats together.
You will need:
For the biscuit:
- 200g plain flour plus extra for rolling
- 25g butter, cut into small cubes
- 3tbsp caster sugar
- Finely grated lemon rind
- 1 medium egg, separated
- 100ml Marsala wine
- Vegtable oil for deep frying
For the cannoli filling:
- 1 (250g) tub mascarpone cheese
- 3tbsp double cream
- 100g caster sugar
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder and icing sugar for dusting
How do you make cannoli?
- Sift the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and use finger tips to rub into the flour until fine. Stir in the sugar. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the egg yolk. Using a wooden spoon, start to draw the flour into the egg and mix together.
- Add the wine gradually and continue mixing until you have a smooth dough. Use fingers to bring the dough together and turn out onto a well floured surface.
- Knead the dough for 5 mins until smooth. Leave to rest for 5 mins. Cut the dough into 16 piece. Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough pieces into thin circles. Stack up dusting with a small amount of flour between pieces.
- Fill a large saucepan two-thirds full with oil. Heat gently until a small piece of the cannoli dough sizzles, rises to the surface and browns within 1 min.
- Wrap the dough circles carefully around the cannoli moulds and seal with a dab of egg white. Lower the cannoli into the oil 3 - 4 at a time and cook for 1-2 mins, turning over once, or until crisp and pale golden.
- Remove from the oil with a draining spoon and drain on absorbent kitchen towel; leave until cold.
- Repeat until all the cannoli are fried and leave to cool whilst making the filling.
- To make the filling, place the mascarpone cheese in a large bowl and beat in the cream, sugar and vanilla extract. Spoon into a disposable piping bag and snip off the end to make a medium large hole. Use the piping bag to fill the cannoli with the mascarpone mixture.
- Serve the cannoli within 1 hour of filling with cream, lightly dusted with a mixture of cocoa powder and icing sugar.

Oregon football teases glow-in-the-dark uniforms for 2015
Oregon football has been teasing glow-in-the-dark uniforms on Twitter.
Neither the team nor their uniform sponsor, Nike, has made an official announcement introducing new uniforms, but the Ducks' most recent tweet read, "We're turning out the lights for the 2015...season." A photo of a silhouetted football player with glowing accents on his uniform accompanied the tweet.
The glowing uniforms have appeared on images of a poster and on defensive end Hunter Kampmoyer's official scholarship offer letter, which he tweeted on Aug. 1.
The Duck are known for their innovative and often-changing uniforms. Their past uniforms have featured metallic helmets and iridescent jerseys, but never lights.
Oregon opens its 2015 season against Eastern Washington on Sept. 5.

When we go to Amsterdam, it's a whole day experience. It's a good one and a half hour drive so when we do decide to head out to that side of the country we take our time and have a mini-city-trip together! (last time here & here) I was actually in town for a meeting, but we spent the rest of the day walking around the streets of Amsterdam doing some shopping, Acne, Marks & Spencer, (gorgeous store! but a tad bit pricy..) H&M etc., having some great food & drinks, Starbucks & Mazzo (I had to find out what all the fuzz was about :) but mostly just enjoyed a day out together.
Do you visit Amsterdam often or just like us make an entire day out of it when you do?
