Leonie Bass,
Personal Trainer
The behavioural change seminar I attended in March was 2 days well spent. We covered and experienced first hand, new ways of talking to clients, how we approach their potential problems, issues they experience, and how best to help an individual to switch their mindset and take on a new thinking perspective. Not only that, but we learned how to really listen to someone, how to use the information we are given and enable them to see a more positive and enlightening way to go about their desired change. Gary delivers the course in a relaxed, friendly and encouraging way, that inspires and leaves you with some new skills. Thank you, I will be back to learn more.

The card for today, Saturday, and Sunday is the Queen of Wands. This weekend will be a busy one, full of activity. If you have a to-do list that has been collecting dust, now is the time to brush it off and tackle each item, one by one. By the time the weekend is over, you will have a lot accomplished.
This also could be the time to bring home work from the job. If you have your own business, you could spend some time tending to it. Either way, you will feel productive and energized.
The Queen of Wands is all about creativity and sexuality. Put those two elements together and it could spell success for those who are trying to conceive a baby. If you're not trying to have a baby, make sure you have your precautions in place!
You may come in contact with someone, maybe a friend of yours, who is positive and upbeat. That person will inspire and encourage you to follow through on your ideas.
With all this energy flowing, make sure you also get some rest this weekend. You don't want to burn out, then head into Monday morning feeling tired and exhausted!
Peace and Love. Enjoy.

Three "killer dolphins" trained by the Ukrainian navy to kill combat swimmers, possibly armed with guns or knives attached to their heads, have escaped and are now roaming the Black Sea in search of a mate.
At least that's what a Ukrainian and Russian news outlets are claiming, and it's almost certainly not true.
The state-owned RIA Novosti repeated stories Thursday from Ukrainian media outlets that said that, following a training exercise in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, only two of five military-trained dolphins returned to their handler. From there, the story was picked up by many English-language news outlets.
But Ukraine's Defense Ministry has denied the reports, and has refused to confirm that its navy even has a dolphin program.
The Atlantic, which originally accepted the report as more or less factual, followed up with the news that the story is a hoax, apparently started by a museum director.
But is it plausible? Does the Ukrainian military train dolphins for warfare?
Apparently, it does, just like the US Navy does. Beginning in 1973, the Soviet Navy in Sebastopol trained dolphins to detect military equipment such as mines on the seabed, to attack divers, and even to carry explosives on their heads to plant on enemy ships.
After the USSR broke up and the Black Sea Fleet divided into Ukrainian and Russian fleets, the Ukrainian Navy took over the dolphin training section, which then were used for civilian goals such as working with disabled children. In 2000, the BBC reported that many of the trained dolphins, along with several sea lions, walruses, and a beluga whale, were sold to the Iranian government.
Dolphins are believed to be the world's second smartest animals, at least by human standards, with a large capacity for social cognition. US Navy officials said dolphins have exceptional sonar and deep diving capabilities that outperform anything human divers or the latest technology developments can provide. The US Navy has relied on specially trained dolphins and sea lions to find sea mines, that, if not found, could sink ships, destroy landing crafts and kill or injure people, according to the American Forces Press Service.
US military dolphins programs date back to in the early 1960s, when the military first started to study the aqua-dynamics of the mammals to help them design ships and submarines. The Navy quickly realized the animals could be used for more complex assistance tasks.
In addition to dolphins, the US Navy has also trained whales, grey seals, and sea lions for military purposes. Such marine mammals are so important that there is an entire program dedicated to studying, training, and deploying them, called the Navy Marine Mammal Program (NMMP).
The dolphins, according to NMMP officials, usually receive two or three years of specialty training before working on underwater security projects. Recently, NMMP, which is based in San Diego, Cal., used its militarized dolphins to train Montenegrin Navy divers to locate and clear underwater mines and explosives dating back to World War I.
Last year, the Navy announced that it would be laying off some of its mine-seeking dolphins, replacing them with robots.

Continuing with our offseason dynasty rankings, today there are 32 second baseman ranked and separated into tiers. The rankings represent relative value of these players in a dynasty league by taking into consideration immediate value vs years of possible relevance left. As always, these rankings should be manipulated to match the league type you play in so take all rankings with a grain of salt. See below the rankings for thoughts about how the rankings were created.
|Jose Altuve – 28
|Tier 1: Elite
|Javier Baez – 25
|Ozzie Albies – 21
|Tier 2: Next Best
|Gleyber Torres – 22
|Whit Merrifield – 29
|Scooter Gennett – 28
|Yoan Moncada – 23
|Tier 3: Upside Chasers
|Rougned Odor – 24
|Keston Hiura (P) – 22
|Nick Madrigal (P) – 21
|Garrett Hampson (P) – 24
|Ian Happ – 24
|Jonathan Villar – 27
|Daniel Murphy – 33
|Tier 4: Solid Options
|Dee Gordon – 30
|Cesar Hernandez – 28
|Brandon Lowe – 24
|Jeff McNeil – 26
|Brian Dozier – 31
|DJ LeMahieu – 30
|Robinson Cano – 36
|Jonathan Schoop – 27
|Esteury Ruiz (P) – 19
|Tier 5: Willing to Take a Chance
|Joey Wendle – 28
|Ketel Marte – 25
|Luis Rengifo (P) – 21
|Luis Urias (P) – 21
|Starlin Castro – 28
|Vidal Brujan (P) – 20
|Jahmai Jones (P) – 21
|Jason Kipnis – 31
|Jed Lowrie – 34
Other options: Devon Travis, Adam Frazier, Lourdes Gurriel, Nick Solak (P)
Tier 1: Jose Altuve and Javier Baez sit comfortably on top of the second base rankings in a tier of their own due to the immense upside and years of production yet to come. Despite a down year for Altuve the underlying stats still look intact and I fully expect a rebound with 20 home runs and a .300+ average. Baez finally had his breakout in 2018 and while I'm still concerned about his plate discipline, the batted ball profile, power and speed he possesses keeps him among the elite at the position.
Tier 2: Ozzie Albies, still only 21, showed signs of a huge year to begin 2018 but came back to earth throughout the summer. Even though the speed and ability to draw a walk seemed to take a step back, he's shown that ability at the Major League level in the past and I envision him making steady improvements as the years go on. Gleyber Torres, on the other hand, came into his own this year and showed impressive raw power to go along with a beautiful 25% line drive rate to buoy his .321 BABIP. Torres certainly has all the makings of a top tier talent for years to come. Two late breakout players, Whit Merrifield and Scooter Gennett, round out Tier 2 and both possess elite batting average ability. Merrifield should also provide top stolen base totals for the next few seasons while Gennett provides 20+ homer pop with plenty of counting stats.
Tier 3: The "upside chasers" tier has three prospects to go along with some young MLB players. Keston Hiura looks like he has a Torres-like bat and if he sticks in Milwaukee will have a very favorable ballpark. Nick Madrigal, although the power hasn't shown up yet at the pro level, possesses elite contact skills which makes him a valuable asset in dynasty leagues. Garrett Hampson, with DJ Lemahieu out of town, looks to have a starting role and could excel in both the batting average and speed categories. Two under-25 year olds, Yoan Moncada and Rougned Odor, come in just ahead of these three prospects due to the power upside they each possess. Despite subpar plate discipline skills, both Odor and Moncada have 30+ home run pop with above average speed. Ian Happ and Jonathan Villar close out the tier and both present huge upside with considerable risk. Happ has proven the power and speed potential but needs to cut down on the strikeouts to fully breakout. Villar, on the other hand, seems to have found his footing again after being dealt to Baltimore. If he limits the strikeouts and they let him run, he could return to being a fantastic fantasy asset.
Tier 4: Daniel Murphy and Robinson Cano both reside in tier 4 and despite their age, should have a couple of seasons of impressive production left in the tank. Brian Dozier is a name to notice because his dynasty value is as low as it may ever be. Sure, he's 31 and his prime has passed but I'm not putting it past him to make a bit of a comeback with 25+ home runs and 10+ steals. Brandon Lowe and Jeff McNeil sit in the middle of this tier and both impressed enough in their short MLB stint last season to be given a shot to win a full-time job next season. Jonathan Schoop rounds out Tier 4 and after a disappointing 2018 might have just enough upside left to be worth a flier. The plate discipline may never be there for the 27-year-old but he possessed enough pop to be an asset from the second base position.
Tier 5: This tier gives a good mix of current options to go along with interesting prospects. Ruiz, Rengifo and Jones all have intriguing upside but certainly have bust potential as opposed to Urias who looks like he might be a steady contributor overall. Mixed in with the prospects are interesting names like Marte and Wendle who could contribute across all categories but may never have a standout skill. Jason Kipnis and Jed Lowrie bring up the rear of this tier and both possess just enough value to be rostered but have certainly passed the prime of their careers.

David Cone takes star turn as analyst, but can't save Yankees broadcast
When we're not at the game, we're watching on TV, and broadcasters shape the way we see baseball. This season, Sporting News will be reviewing the work done in booths across MLB. This time it's the New York Yankees on the YES Network.
Michael Kay is the regular play-by-play man on YES, although he gets more time off than most teams' broadcasters, while David Cone handles the color commentary duties for the finale of the Subway Series. Unlike most teams, Yankees broadcasts feature a revolving cast of analysts, so this will not be the only review of YES (and WWOR) in this series.
MORE: Time to expand | AL Least | Tanaka's streak
Of the analysts the Yankees use, Cone is the best choice for the Subway Series because he played for both the Yankees and the Mets, giving him a leg up on some anecdote possibilities if they come into play. Also, fair warning: since I live in New York, I'm already very familiar with the YES Network's coverage, even more so than I am with the subject of the last review, the San Francisco Giants broadcasts that I regularly stream late at night.
After presenting the weather conditions, Kay starts things by immediately asking Cone about the feelings of a pitcher making his major league debut, as both Jacob deGrom of the Mets and Chase Whitley of the Yankees are doing in this game. Cone talks about nerves, and how it's beneficial to both deGrom and Whitley that their starts have come on somewhat short notice, due to injuries in both New York rotations. It's a fair point, and directed more toward this game than Kay's question that really put Cone in position to talk about himself.
Cone also has some good and entertaining information about deGrom in his pregame scouting report, that the right-hander broke his left ring finger last year helping a neighbor to castrate a calf. Kay is amused, but has nothing to add, so he just goes into reading the Mets' defensive lineup.
Twice before the first at-bat of the game is over, Kay refers to deGrom as a "young man." He does not mention deGrom's age, which is 25 years old, with his 26th birthday next month. While that is young, it is not particularly young for a pitcher making his major league debut. Kay either does not know this, or is simply being patronizing about a rookie. It's hard to say which explanation is worse.
When Jacoby Ellsbury hits a two-out double to right-center field, Cone says he thought the ball might have a chance to go out of the park for a moment, "then I remembered where we are." The different dimensions of Citi Field and Yankee Stadium have been a big, stupid talking point all week in New York, as if both teams in any individual game do not play in the same ballpark, and Cone does well by mentioning it quickly without dwelling on it.
Whitley also has a birthday next month, when he will turn 25. As he takes the mound, Kay says, "It's an opportunity for any young pitcher now. You do well, you're staying up here." He notes that the Yankees have three starters on the disabled list, but again does not tell anyone the actual age of the person on the mound.
Cone notes that only three teams in the major leagues have used five starting pitchers in this season of injuries, and fortunately, he names them – the Red Sox, Brewers, and Padres. He then talks about teams that have used nine starters in 40 or so games, the Rangers and White Sox. Cone notes that Whitley is the Yankees' eighth starter of the year. This is good perspective. Kay responds by noting that by losing three of their original five starters to injury, the Yankees have lost 60 percent of their rotation. Thank you for the fourth grade math lesson. Kay then says that Whitley pitches only from the stretch because he is a converted relief pitcher, which Cone already said. Cone talks about Yu Darvish doing the same thing, and points out that there is a benefit to working from the stretch from the standpoint of simplifying pitching mechanics, and as a possible reason that fewer pitchers now use full-on windmill windups.
Whitley strikes out David Wright to retire the side in order, and Kay says, "Impressive first inning for the youngster." Still no mention of either pitcher's actual age.
Starting the bottom of the second inning, Kay introduces the Coors Light Cold Hard Facts, which are home and road batting averages for four Mets players. Kay provides another arithmetic lesson by telling everyone what they can plainly see, that there is a difference of over 100 points for all four players showcased – Curtis Granderson, Lucas Duda, Chris Young, and Eric Young Jr. Not mentioned is the fact that no player on the Mets entered this game with more than 80 at-bats at home, and the player who did have 80 at-bats was David Wright, not part of the graphic because he is hitting .291 on the road and started this game at .288 at home.
Kay talked to Mets broadcaster Ron Darling about the Mets' hitting struggles at home, while other teams have come into Citi Field and hit just fine (the .699-.584 OPS advantage enjoyed by road teams in Queens is not mentioned). Darling's theory, being espoused on another channel in the same market, is that the ballpark is in the Mets' heads. Kay then refers to Granderson as somebody who was signed to hit perhaps 40 home runs but instead might strike out 200 times. Granderson has hit terribly in his first quarter-season with the Mets, but he's actually on pace for 174 strikeouts – 21 fewer than he had in 2012 when he was an All-Star for the Yankees.
Cone offers a comparison of Citi Field's dimensions with Shea Stadium's, which, if this has to be the topic, at least is a different angle than everyone else is talking about – the difference between the Bronx and Queens. Cone also talks about the right field overhang being taken from Tiger Stadium, and says it "probably should've been left at Tiger Stadium." Kay has no opinion, saying only, "And you're a pitcher, too!"
It's hard to listen to this. Cone clearly has a lot of interesting things to say, but Kay does nothing but drag him into mundane talking points of prepackaged, tired, cliched narrative.
Meredith Marakovits is the third voice on this broadcast, and she has information about Carlos Beltran's elbow injury, which has landed the veteran outfielder on the disabled list. Her information is from the afternoon, when Beltran spoke to the media, so this is a planned break-in, but at least YES does everyone the service of putting "REPORTING: MEREDITH MARAKOVITS" as a bug on the screen while the game is going on, rather than cutting back and forth between images of a person talking and images of the baseball game that everyone is trying to watch.
Marakovits' reporting is fine, and she gets Cone to talk about the efficacy of cortisone shots. This is a better prompt than Kay has given to Cone on any subject.
It is Cone who brings up Stephen Drew's name in connection to Ruben Tejada's struggles with the Mets, and it is Cone who points out that first-round picks in baseball might be overvalued. Kay has nothing to contribute to make this an interesting conversation, so he just goes back to calling play-by-play, which is okay, because, after all, that is his job. As far as that goes, Kay's call of deGrom's single to center field is good, as he notes Tejada being unable to score from second base because the ball hung in the air and it appeared Ellsbury might have a play on it.
Cone notes that Mark Teixeira is holding deGrom on first base when Young Jr. is at the plate, and again he notes the oddity of holding the pitcher on with two outs and a hitter at the plate with the ability to pull in Daniel Murphy. Kay finally acknowledges what his partner is talking about when he sees Teixeira stop holding the runner. The lack of chemistry in this booth is astounding, and it's easy to trace why that is.
For some reason, the final game of the series is the time that the Mets' uniform patch honoring the late Ralph Kiner gets a mention. Cone talks about what the Kiner's Korner postgame show meant to the Mets and their fans, and YES has a video of Kiner as a spring training instructor, working with YES announcer and then-Mets outfielder Ken Singleton.
It's all very nice, but rather than continue talking about Kiner, about whom there are many good stories to tell (maybe compare him to Phil Rizzuto in terms of impact on a fan base as a announcer?), Kay goes off on a bizarre tangent in which he calls Singleton a "borderline Hall of Famer." If by borderline, Kay means that Singleton once appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot, then yes. By any other measure outside of being a super nice guy, absolutely not (scroll down to "Hall of Fame Statistics" on baseball-reference.com), and Singleton would be the first to tell you as much. He had a very nice career, but come on.
There are seven pitches thrown in this inning, and Kay mentions four of them. Of the three hitters to appear in the inning, McCann is the only one who is named at the start of his at-bat.
With Wright up in the sixth inning, the topic of his Hall of Fame potential is revisited after being briefly mentioned in the first inning. Cone brings up Wright's WAR being second only to Adrian Beltre among active third basemen. Cone's explanation of WAR for anyone who might be unfamiliar is solid enough to get the point home while not alienating those who already know – and he provides the necessary knowledge of who tops the list.
"(WAR) is a way to combine defensive and offensive stats," Cone says. "Give credit where credit is due, and see where you fall into line. Mike Schmidt, No. 1 all time of players that played third base at least 50 percent of the games that they played in."
Wright strikes out, and Cone talks about how Masahiro Tanaka has "one of the most unhittable pitches as a starter" with his splitter, and Dellin Betances, on the mound now, has the same out of the bullpen with his curveball, which Betances then throws.
The end of the inning on three strikeouts means the end of this conversation, but Kay, who long ago was a beat writer, starts the seventh inning by saying that people have been asking him why the Yankees don't use Betances as a starter. To his credit, Kay took this question to Yankees manager Joe Girardi, and got the explanation that by moving to the bullpen, Betances was able to trim his repertoire to two pitches, fastball and breaking ball, and thereby simplify things.
Kay then gets Cone involved in the topic, and Cone wisely points out that Betances struggled mightily as a starter, and has found success as a reliever, so why mess around with something that is working? "Didn't we get enough of that with the Joba rules, and Joba Chamberlain? This guy is tremendous. Nobody's hitting him. That spike curveball he's throwing, it looks unhittable. Tremendous success. I would gear him more toward the other way, the back end of the game."
Kay asks if Cone can see Betances as a future closer, and Cone replies, "Absolutely. It's just a question of a little better command with his fastball, and he gets better and better every time out. That curveball he's throwing looks like a wiffleball." Cone also references the Pitch Value numbers from Fangraphs to back up what he's saying about Betances' curveball.
This is the best stuff of the night, and now Kay is actually focusing on the game, calling pitches as they're thrown, which is good, because this is the only inning with a run. Kay's near-obsessive attention to defensive shifts pays off when Wright, positioned as a shortstop against McCann, makes an errant throw that costs the Mets a chance for a double play.
Alfonso Soriano drives in McCann with a double, and here is Kay's call: "Lined… into left-center field… THAT'S TROUBLE! It's gonna split the outfielders and go to the wall! McCann CHUGGING to third. They're WAVING him home! Here's the THROW! Here's the PLAY! Yankees lead, 1-0! A triple for Soriano!"
The cadence and voice modulation are good, but there actually is no play at the plate because Tejada's relay throw is a complete air-mail job. While Kay can maybe be forgiven for this error, he has been around long enough to know better than to call Soriano's hit a triple, especially with the throw to the plate going to the backstop. The official scoring was a double, with Soriano taking third base on the throw. This is an entirely avoidable mistake (better call: "And Soriano goes to third!") on the only scoring play of the game. After Cone's breakdown of the replay, Kay makes note of the official scoring.
It's too late to save that call, and too late to save this viewing experience, through no fault of Cone, who brings a lot to the table as an analyst, and sometimes even sets the table for himself when he gets little help from a play-by-play man in Kay who is quite good as a talk-show host, and was an effective foil to John Sterling for years on radio, but does not deliver the goods here.

CALGARY — Mount Royal University officials have attributed looming budget shortfalls to an ill-timed provincial funding freeze as the institution prepared to rollout new degree programs in its transition from a college.
The university is now looking at hiking tuition by the maximum amount, slashing enrolment and cutting programs, according to options tabled during budget talks this month.
Face Time, the university's internal publication, reported president David Docherty as saying the shortfalls are "a revenue problem" versus a spending issue.
"It was no one's fault at this institution that this has happened," Docherty reportedly said during a meeting last month. "We had an agreement in writing with the province and they froze the funding at a critical moment."
Neither Docherty nor Advanced Education Minister Stephen Khan was available for comment on Tuesday. Khan's press secretary Marie Iwanow contended it's up to the university's board of governors to balance the books.
"They have the autonomy to make their own budget decisions," Iwanow said.
She pointed to two per cent increases budgeted in this and each of the next two years as the Redford government's commitment to stable funding.
However, Mount Royal is still staring down a $5.4-million deficit in 2013-14 academic year and another shortfall of $6.2 million the following year due to lower-than-expected revenue and ballooning costs.
Government funding makes up about 40 per cent of the university's budget.
Duane Anderson, Chief Financial Officer, said the "fiscal pressure" comes in the wake of the two-year funding freeze.
Mount Royal had announced six new degree programs in anticipation of becoming the city's second university in 2009. Provincial funding, on the other hand, dried up in 2010 when the government declared it was scaling back its post-secondary budget.
"Certain funding we were anticipating to be coming wasn't coming," Anderson said Tuesday.
That funding amounts to about $30 million over two years, according to documents provided to staff.
A belt-tightening committee was struck earlier this year to find efficiencies.
University officials were eyeing a tuition increase of 3.5 per cent to bridge the gap next year, but settled for a 2.15 per cent bump as tuition is capped to inflation in Alberta. The University of Calgary approved the maximum hike last week.
Enrolment has also been curtailed as a result.
It doesn't sit well with Kaylene McTavish, president of the students' association, who said students have already been hit with hikes in ancillary fees.
"Students shouldn't have to be footing the entire bill for this," McTavish said.
Anderson said programs and services will also be reviewed, and the university is looking at new ways to generate cash.
"We haven't identified any specific area of focus," he said.

As for large repair kits...I keep them in slot 3 for the passive repair value and use only in extreme emergency (like it may be the diff between winning or not emergency). Other wise I carry a small repair kit for normal use...final slot for Large Med kit (also for passive bonus). I will only "heal" a driver in a heavy or Matilda...or again if it's gonna be a game changer. Use...once in every 20 to 30 games?
The biggest use of gold they get me on is Crew stuff. I'm a moron when it comes to switching crews and skills. I once changed the pictures of my entire favorite crew to African American so I could be the "Soul Patrol" and listen to Jimmy Hendrix while playing. More frequently I pay to switch skills to perks as they come on line or switch a buffed crew to a newly purchased, but much awaited awesome tank I just bought.
I know a lot of people go off on me for using gold consumables and gold ammo when needed. I realized quickly when I started playing this game that I liked it and wanted to really get into it. I decided the best way to do it was to buy some Premium tanks to generate silver in order to keep myself in gold consumables and pay to have "stuff". I never payed one cent till they changed it so you could by gold ammo and consumables with silver. When they did that I bought 2 Premium tanks. The money from playing them one game per night means I never have to pay again to use the consumables and ammo I need. I do get stuck for the Crew stuff...that is all Visa card. Yea ...I know its not smart use of cash but I enjoy trying out new skill combos in different tanks/crews with different equipment modules. Im a 44 year old retired guy with a good pension. I was poor as hell in college and could never afford to pay for anything cool or new (luckily I was in College in the early 1990's and the selection of PC games was nil and the internet was still just a novelty.
The way I see it, guys like me make it possible for all the other people who posted above me claiming to have never spent a dime to even have a game. Wargaming is not gonna be in business if everyone just goes hardcore no cash. That said I will not sit here and pretend like there is no advantage to having money and using it in game to buy gear etc. Gold ammo and all the money in the world wont make you win. It will up your win rate a bit. My win rate immediately jumped about 3% when I had gold ammo on hand to use when needed and the passive buffs from Large Repair etc. Also you now have the bucks to give that commander 6th sense the second he hits 100%. Lots of little things add up to give you a boost....but you still have to drive the tank man. Gold ammo wont do crap if you don't know where to aim. Gold in my T 69 will get me through the cupola of an E 75...but has no difference over standard on any of the frontal armor (even low glaces straight on). So yea having gold helps me take on a E 75...but I have to penn his cupola head on and wait for that reticle to tighten up ...and I'm made of tin foil.
So to sum it up...if you're a purist and never use gold due to choice or fundage...good on ya. I respect the added difficulty and that's all good. All I'm saying is some people need to ease up on us gold using old farts. There is a difference between responsible, useful gold ammo usage and a noob wallet warrior gold spammer. I guess I qualify as a wallet warrior, but check my stats guys...I'm walking proof that gold isnt pay to win. I'm not bad but I'm not setting any records here. I get about one watchable video for you tube from every 50 games.
Sorry for the semi rant...some guy just went off on me last game for switching to gold and setting him on fire.....like I cheated for keeping gold rounds for that exact situation. :-)

I think this topic is in the wrong sub-forum. Perhaps a mod could move it.
BUT I think it's pretty cool that whether players have "never spent a dime and are proud of it" or have spent a small fortune buying goodies, both types of people are getting a lot of enjoyment from the game.
It really shows that, whatever our occasional frustrations with WoT, WG and its players, that the freemium/FTP model really works and, at its best, offers very different types of players a great experience.

I used to spend more on premium ammo, but I have switched that over to just using silver instead. Gives me a better feedback loop of if I am making or losing money in battles. I do like the premium, so I will probably splurge on that for a 6 month lump one of these days. Now with that big 50% off sale on premium consumables, I just loaded up a 50 pack of Cola, 105 octane gas, large repair, large first aid, chocolate, ussr rations and maybe another one or two. Beats paying full price in game when you need them, and this month I'm doing well financially so what the heck.
I have purchased two cheap premium tanks, T14 and T25, probably won't do that again, doesnt seem worth it to me.
And Crew training, over the last month, I have learned what crew training can do to help, so I always buy a 100% crew for anything I get. Or I will move a crew with skills or close to 100% skills into the next tier tank as I get there and load a fresh crew in the old tank if I plan on keeping it. I currently have a US T1 heavy, M6 and T29 and only the T29 has reached full skills/perks and is working on 2nd now, but I enjoy the T1 and M6, plus they make good silver so I keep playing them.
All said, I have probably spent $350 on this game and I will more than likely spend $500 next year if I keep playing. That may seem like a lot for some people, but like the guy above me said, it is what I do for entertainment, keeps me home to help my handicapped wife, and financially it isn't that big a deal. I used to spend over $2500 a year on wine but have cut back my drinking the last 3 years, so what the heck.
There is nothing inherently wrong with spending money on something, so do what you can afford and have fun, that is the point of these games.
Good luck and happy tanking.

I think it should be in the suggestions that we spend to much money on this game

At The start of wot i bought a year membership and a lowe. what a waste a money. i think.
The lowe is pretty much useless now. it still is a good tank to kill scouts and tier 6.
everything else it bounces.
I know one thing. The more you spend on this game.. the better you do.
you need to pay off the MM. to win.
Ever wonder why most games are 1 sided..
according to xvm most games are not even.
how hard is it for mm to do what xvm does.. (if you can figure that out)
But wot is like every game.. the more ya pay. the better ya do.
anyways i paid 150 i think.

I loathe the word "shtick."
For that reason, I did some research to figure out what the word really means. And I discovered two facts:
1. The word shtick is defined as "A characteristic attribute, talent, gimmick or trait that is helpful in securing recognition or attention."
2. The word shtick is derived from the Yiddish term shtik, which means "piece or routine."
Your "thing." Your "hook."
Your shtick.
Now, does that mean shtick is bad?
Not necessarily.
See, it's not that shtick is bad. It's just…
Shtick isn't enough.
Shtick needs substance.
Shtick doesn't sustain you.
Shtick only sells temporarily.
Sure, shtick is catchy and cool and clever and fun and different.
But in business, that will only carry you so far.
Sure, shtick might get you in the door.
But in marketing, that doesn't guarantee you'll stay in the room.
Only VALUE and SUBSTANCE can do that.
Take it from a guy who made a career out of wearing a nametag 24-7 for the past 2,380 days.
Sure, the nametag is shtick-Y, but only substance has made my career and my brand and my idea stick-Y.
Sort of like comparing Dum-Dum Pops and Tootsie Pops.
Both are delicious.
Both are popular.
But only one has SUBSTANCE. (Ahem, Mr. Tootsie.)
Which isn't to say that Dum-Dums are bad. People love Dum-Dums!
But in business, you CAN'T just be all sugar.
Customers want value.
Customers want substance.
Customers want to take a few licks and then discover your Tootsie center.
Because shtick isn't enough.
When you hear the word shtick, what comes to mind?
What's your shtick, and more importantly, what's your SUBSTANCE?

Singapore will trial a pair of driverless buses. No, not micro buses, nor "Ollis" -- full-sized buses, measuring 12 meters (40 feet) long. The vehicles will operate in the Jurong West region of Singapore, where the island's Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is situated.
The buses will ferry up to 80 people between NTU and the neighboring "eco-business" hub CleanTech Park -- around a one-mile journey. The team behind the trial is also considering servicing a nearby train station, which would extend the route to around a 5-mile round trip. The vehicles will charge at depots and at bus stops via charging masts.

"How can I elevate certain little things here and there and also make it about the music."
Lady Gaga is all about firsts.
"It's such a big world stage in terms of how many people see it," Gaga says in a new behind-the-scenes clip promoting her upcoming performance at the Super Bowl. "[The halftime show has] been done so many times… I think the challenge is to look at it and say, 'what can I do differently? How can I elevate certain little things here and there and also make it about the music.'"
If she has it her way, she'll elevate the halftime show all the way to the roof. Page Six reports Gaga wants to perform on top of the NRG Stadium's dome.
An insider tells the gossip site "her team is worried" about technical and safety issues surrounding Gaga's plan, but she is "pushing to do it."
"They're writing up multiple plans about how to safely get her on the roof, including potentially [cutting] a hole in the ceiling of the dome," says a source with knowledge of the arrangements.
New Clip Confirms Lady Gaga's Performing "Bad Romance" At The Super Bowl: Watch
It's worth noting the stadium has a "fabric roof" that is capable of opening in seven minutes.
Her biggest obstacle? The dotted line. "Trying to figure out insurance for it is crazy," a source added.
Thoughts on Gaga possibly performing on the roof? Let us know in Exhale.

Skip to 0 minutes and 1 second The reason why I chose to become an egg freezing patient was because of personal reasons I just wanted to have the option of having children later on in my life. Because I come from a family that is very family orientated and there was always some pressure on me as to when I am I going to have children and when am I going to have my own family. And me starting getting older, trying to pursue my career more and more I decided that I will freeze my eggs in order to have the option of having children later on. And that actually took a lot of pressure off.
Skip to 0 minutes and 41 seconds There was a lot of support from CRGH in me going through the procedure, there was support from the doctors, the nurses, as well as the embryology team. They made me feel very comfortable and it honestly felt like a very easy journey. The fact that many companies now days offer the egg freezing option to their employees, I think it was only a matter of time to be honest before they start doing it because women are, nowadays, are expected to perform as well as men in their careers. So I don't see why they shouldn't have the option when for a woman time is an issue where for a man it is not. It definitely takes a lot of weight off your shoulders.
Skip to 1 minute and 31 seconds I don't have to think anymore that, you know, I have to have children because I know that I am not going to be able to have them in a few years. And that takes off a lot of pressure in terms of me pursuing my career and probably making the right choices with a partner that I want to be. Being able to do the egg freezing definitely stops your clock from ticking now. It is still out there and the clock is still ticking so, I know that in a few years I won't be able to try naturally at all to have babies. Maybe I won't even be able to try assisted reproduction with fresh eggs.
Skip to 2 minutes and 11 seconds I am probably going to have to go straight to my frozen eggs. Even having IVF requires that you have eggs to do it. And therefore by freezing eggs at least you are guaranteed that you are going to be able to have your own-, biologically own children in the future. In terms of the procedure, it is like you are climbing on a mountain basically. So you start climbing on a mountain. But as you come for your scans every other day and you see the follicles growing then you start building up your hopes and everything becomes easier as well, taking your injections becomes easier, I mean there is always support from all the staff for anyone that may ask.
Skip to 2 minutes and 56 seconds And you start building up your hopes until you are ready. And then you go in theatre for your-, the operating theatre for your egg collection. And this is probably one of the procedures that most women are scared of but honestly it was very, very easy. As soon as the procedure is done then you only have recovering for a couple of hours and then you are free to go home. And probably a couple of hours later we-, well I received a phone call from one of my colleagues telling me how many eggs were suitable for freezing and that everything went well and the eggs have now been frozen. I had enormous support from my family.
Skip to 3 minutes and 36 seconds They couldn't understand at the beginning why I was freezing eggs and I wasn't having children. But I explained to them that is something different in at that time. They were very, very supportive in my decision and my choices.
Egg freezing - a perspective
Meet Kalliope, a young, female embryologist working at CRGH, a premier fertility clinic in London. Kalliope spends her working week improving the fertility chances of her clients, but she has also thought a lot about her own fertility options as well.
In this interview, she tells us why she has chosen to freeze her own eggs. Whilst aware that this is not a choice that all women might make, she explains how this is right for her, at this time in her life.
Kalliope wants to have a family but, at the moment, she is focused on her career and her work, as well as her own life. Like many women of her generation, she has chosen to delay childbearing until later on in life.
Although not a decision she took lightly, Kalliope is happy to have frozen her eggs, and she feels like a burden has been lifted from her, now that she knows she has more options available to her if and when she does decide to have a family.
Join the discussion: What do you think are the reasons that make young people today, of any sex, delay childbearing? Are there both positive and negative drivers involved? Which ones do you think are the most important?

"Iran is a free, independent country and it would be in the best interests of the US to be on the side of Iran."
Grand jury formally indicts men suspected of being part of alleged conspiracy to kill Saudi ambassador to the US.
|Arbabsiar, one of the co-defendants, will have a chance to enter a plea to the charges on Monday [Reuters]
A US grand jury has formally indicted two men suspected of being part of an alleged Iranian plot to kill the ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the US.
Thursday's move came after US authorities announced last week that they had foiled a plot by two men linked to Iran's security agencies to assassinate Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi diplomat.
One suspect, a naturalised US citizen who also holds an Iranian passport, was arrested in the US last month, while the other is believed to be in Iran.
Manssor Arbabsiar, 56, was arrested on September 29 when he arrived at John F Kennedy International Airport from Mexico.
US officials said the other man, Gholam Shakuri, is a member of Iran's Quds Force, the covert operations arm
of Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Both were initially charged in a criminal complaint.
Iran denies involvement
Iran has strongly denied any involvement in the plot, which reportedly involved the hiring of assassins from a Mexican drug cartel for $1.5m.
To set up the alleged hit, Arbabsiar allegedly arranged for the wiring of $100,000 to the US as a down payment, the indictment said.
The two co-defendants are also accused of planning for a "weapon of mass destruction" to be used against the ambassador, creating "substantial risk of serious bodily injury to others by destroying and damaging structures".
The charges have caused another flare up in tensions between the US and Iran, already at loggerheads over US belief that Tehran is using a civilian nuclear programme to mask a bomb-making project.
Arbabsiar will have a chance to enter a plea to the charges on Monday, when he is scheduled to be arraigned. His defence lawyer, Sabrina Shroff, previously stated her client would plead not guilty.
The two men are charged with one count of conspiracy to murder a foreign official, two counts of use of interstate and
foreign commerce facilities in the commission of murder for hire, and one count each of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, and conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism.
John Keenan, a US district judge, will oversee the case in the Manhattan federal court in New York.

A statement signed by its National Coordinator, Ibrahim Muhammed, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Kaduna, said the gesture would allow more Muslims discharge their religious obligations.
The statement noted that since the 20 per cent reduction five years ago, the number of pilgrims performing the Hajj had gone down.
"Last year, 1,325, 372 foreign and 537, 537 domestic pilgrims performed the Hajj, making a total of 1, 862, 909 pilgrims which is the lowest in the last ten years of hajj exercise."
According to the statement, Nigeria's quota was slashed from 95,000 to 76,000; before its recent increase back to 95,000.
"With this development, Nigerian Muslims will have more opportunity to secure hajj seats to fulfil their religious obligations.
"It will also compress the pressure of trying to secure hajj seats through the back door, and close avenue of possible hajj seat racketeering."
It advised the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria to give priority to first timers, states with higher demand and those that meet set standards during its recent capacity verification exercise.
The statement urged the commission, state pilgrims boards, and tour operators to double efforts to meet the anticipated increase in the number of pilgrims this year.

The Next Bachelor Could Be Chris L.
Who Should Be the Next Bachelor?
The final rose has been dispensed this week on The Bachelorette, and Ali chose Roberto over sensitive-guy Chris L. But don't be too heartbroken: There's always a new season of the reality show on the horizon, and if recent tradition is any indication, Chris could be up for the role of The Bachelor. Then again, there are other fan favorites from Ali's stable of studs that could take up the place of rose-giver — friendly, fun Kirk won a lot of viewers' hearts (besides that whole dad-taxidermy-thing), as did funny Craig R. (remember the fake tattoo he drew to lampoon Kasey?).
If you had your pick, who would you choose to be the next Bachelor — someone else from Ali's season, or someone else all together?

My school friend Rowena was up for a week in the Scottish Borders with her family, and had texted me to see if I might be free for a walk. As luck would have it I had some Annual Leave days to use up, so I took the Wednesday 12th April off and drove down from Glasgow to the Deep South (Hownam, southeast of Jedburgh) to meet up. There had initially been talk of a relatively large group, including a fell-running friend of her daughter's which could have been embarrassing from my point of view , but in the event the city lights of Jedburgh proved just too tempting for the rest of the group , so it was just Rowena, her daughter Rachel and myself.
We had opted for a classic route of Windy Gyle and The Cheviot from Cocklawfoot Farm, as described in the SMC Grahams book, and we were at the start point just before eleven a.m. An interesting point in passing: the SMC book gives distance and ascent for this route of 19km and 620 metres respectively, but drawing it out using the website's route-drawing tool gives it well over 20km and 800 metres! I suspect the website's tool is more accurate (it felt a fair distance) so that's what I've entered for our outing. It was a scenic drive down, across a couple of wee fords which were rather good fun, and with a lot of newly-borne lambs in the fields. Here are Rowena and Rachel at the start of the route:
We had parked just across the final ford before Cocklawfoot Farm, where there is plenty of grass verge parking at the end of the public road. We started by re-crossing the Kelsocleuch Burn by a self-professed 'weak bridge' (which I hadn't much fancied driving across !) to gain the track branching off right uphill towards Kelsocleuch Farm.
It wasn't long up to Kelsocleuch Farm, where we found this helpful warning sign about an electric fence, in front of some rather cute chickens.
The next section confused us slightly: we took a gate into a field at the first break in the electric fence, but then started off slightly downhill to try to avoid a band of forestry, which wasn't actually the right thing to do. Fortunately the farmer was about leaving feed for her sheep, and she was very helpful with route directions - thanks for that!
Soon we had exited the field via a gate that looked as though it was heading for the middle of the forestry, as per her directions, and as promised we found an easy grassy track heading up through the trees. Here is Rachel leading the way:
It was a fairly quick stoat up through the trees, and soon we were emerging from the forestry with the weather improving and some views opening up behind us.
Windy Rig is a pleasantly undulating grassy ridge, scenic in a green-and-rolling kind of way, and it made for an enjoyable ascent.
The direction of the ridge was initially heading slightly SW, meaning that the high peaty dome of the Cheviot - hopefully our final objective - was actually looming up behind us at this point, looking slightly intimidating.
The higher part of Windy Rig proved to be a lovely curving ridge, with Windy Gyle and its huge summit cairn (known as Russell's Cairn) clearly visible now.
Before long we were at the summit, which is slightly 'cluttered', with the massive cairn of Russell's Cairn (one of these big ones said to be Bronze Age, although as usual I'm perplexed as to how anyone can possibly know that ), plus a Pennine Way signpost and a stone windshelter. Although Windy Gyle isn't a Marilyn (and hence also not a Graham), it does qualify both as a Hewitt and (because it is over 2000 feet and stands half in Scotland) also as a Donald.
Me at the trig point: if I look as though I'm getting fat again from this angle, it's because I am !
The ongoing route to the Cheviot follows part of the Pennine Way, along the line of the border between Scotland and England. Wherever one stands on the questions of Brexit and Scotland's independence, there is a genuine possibility that this could in the future also be the border of the European Union - a truly strange thought . I certainly hope that it doesn't become a 'hard border' - personally, I'm upset enough over Hard Brexit, in all honesty .
Anyway, as things currently stand, it's just an easy ramble up a broad and fairly featureless ridge on an excellent path. There are a whole series of cairns between Windy Gyle and the Cheviot, the largest one being just a short distance to the east.
Just beyond this, we joined the long section of the Pennine Way that has been paved (presumably by fairly heroic volunteers) to become a high-level stone walkway: slightly surreal, but it certainly makes for quick going .
Before long, we reached the crossroads where the Pennine Way is crossed by the ancient cross-border route called Clennel Street. We stopped for lunch on a handy log just east of the signpost.
The next section was just a long and fairly featureless stoat along the paved walkway, but we made fairly quick work of it. I was initially confused whether the Cheviot summit was the excessively flat summit dead ahead or the pointer-looking one slightly to its right. A check of the map suggested that the pointier one was Hedgehope Hill, however, so the Cheviot was that big flat dome dead ahead, right enough .
The flatness of the border ridge tended to rob any distant views of depth, although there were intermittently some half-decent views of the Scottish Borders receding into the blue distance.
A view back to Windy Gyle:
After this long flat section, the path started to rise more steeply again towards Cairn Hill West Top, the high point of the border, which although only a very minor bump is designated as a Donald Top, no less. Here are Rowena and Rachel nearly at the top:
It wasn't far from here to the summit of Cairn Hill West Top, which is marked by another Pennine Way signpost. The main route of the Pennine Way heads off west here along the border, while a branch route heads off northeast for about a mile and a quarter to the summit of The Cheviot.
Rachel was getting a bit tired by now, however, and the rounded boggy dome of The Cheviot - decidedly lacking in that most desirable characteristic of mountains, pointiness - really wasn't enticing her much. After some team discussion, Rowena and Rachel decided to head back to the car without partaking of the pleasures of The Cheviot summit, and I carried on myself to collect the Hewitt 'tick'. I was grateful for the fact that the paved Pennine Way walkway extends all the way to The Cheviot summit, because there were some truly vicious-looking bits of bog just off-piste. Just short of the summit, I met a very friendly couple we'd chatted to earlier on, at Windy Gyle summit (she had previously lived in Milngavie and it turned out that we had several mutual acquaintances; it's a small world ...). They told me that there were indeed local tales of horses having disappeared whole into the bog in the vicinity of the Cheviot summit on several occasions during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries .
All the same, the paved walkway makes it an easy enough walk nowadays, and soon enough I was at the massive summit trig point, which looks decidedly incongruous in the middle of this desolate bog. Someone should tell this poor hill that when it comes to summit markings, Less is More, and that trying to distract from a lack of pointiness by adorning yourself with a huge stone thingamajig just doesn't work ...
Plenty of bog around here with definite horse-swallowing potential:
I headed back down the way I had come to Cairn Hill West Top, and then took the westward branch of the Pennine Way to Auchope Cairn. As its name suggests, this minor top is adorned with a couple of impressive cairns.
Just to the north is an impressively wild chasm known for some reason as Hen Hole. I made a short detour downhill to the north to a hillock that gave a better view of it:
An impressive bit of scenery, especially considering that it's in England (sorry, only kidding, guys!).
The paved walkway comes to an end at Auchope Cairn, and my ongoing route headed initially downhill to the west on a smaller grassy path down Auchope Rig, soon bending southwards to leave the border (and the Pennine Way). After passing a rather cute Mountain Refuge Hut, I spied a farm track downhill in the distance that looked as though it was heading back towards Cocklawfoot Farm, and sure enough it was, making for a fairly easy descent. Soon enough I was back at the car, where Rowena and Rachel were chilling and getting their breath back.
My first Two Hewitts, these hills, and although the Cheviot may not be the pointiest of hills, this Border Raid made for a very pleasant excursion, all in all .

If you have a youngster who loves monkeys, you may be looking for a downloadable knitting pattern for a monkey. It may be for your son, for a favourite nephew or one of your friend's children. Knitting patterns are a great way to put time and effort into a gift to show how much you love someone – it is original, different and enjoyable. Monkeys are hilarious and very childlike, which is why children relate to them. You may wonder where you can find these on the internet and whether they cost anything or not.
Old Hobby
Knitting is an old craft form that you probably remember your great grandma, grandma or even your mother working tirelessly at. Animals have always been a popular choice to design knitting patterns in, especially if knitting with children in mind. When the member of your family wanted to knit something in particular they would either go to their favourite craft/knitting store, or often they would be available in some magazines.
Art of Knitting
Maybe you are new to knitting and are looking for interesting projects to stop you from getting bored or as stated in the opening paragraph, someone you love really loves monkeys, they may even have a capuchin monkey baby. Finding these patterns is still as easy as it was back when your mother used to knit, better yet, it's probably even easier, because as we will see, you do not even have to leave your house to find downloadable knitting patterns.
Nowadays, you can still go into your local mall and find knitting and craft shops that will have a vast array of knitting patterns available, or your family member may still have their stuff packed away somewhere in their loft or garage (if they don't/can't knit any more) If you feel you don't really have the time to spend searching through your local craft stores, you could look online.
Downloadable Knitting Pattern
This is where the internet becomes a useful tool, as you will not only be able to find lots of knitting patterns to purchase online from places like EBay, Amazon and other retailers. These are generally available in downloadable form or you could buy what is known as an e-book, an electronic collection of knitting patterns. What you will find is that they haven't changed much since the days of your grandma or mother following the knitting patterns.
Nowadays, we all love a great bargain. The internet has always been a good place to look for smart shopping and saving money deals, including the crème de la crème in money saving terms-something free! There are many places online where if you look hard enough you could find a free downloadable knitting pattern for a monkey. If you look at sites like All About You, Squidoo and Hubpages, you will be able to find knitting fans like yourself sharing their know-how.
So if you are planning to knit using a downloadable knitting pattern for a monkey, you don't have to feel like it means you have to trail around the shops looking for that elusive knitting pattern. Then you are probably best using your computer and finding directly all you need for this project.

Call (615) 564-7173orclick here to schedule online counseling.
Call (615) 564-7173orclick here to schedule online counseling.
We all know that the need for connection is real. We talk to many people during the day, but how often do we really connect? We talk about the weather, general news, and the happenings of our day, but we never seem to make it to the subjects that are most near and dear to our heart. Our dreams, our fears, our aspirations; these are the topics that often never see the light of day. When you connect with a Thriveworks Counseling Provider, that real connection that you crave can become a reality. This provider can provide an open space for communication, and time dedicated to exploring the topics that you have put on the back burner for quite some time.
Counseling and coaching are common in society. Most of us know someone who has pursued counseling for therapy. Although it is common, many people delay for weeks, months, or even years before making that first call. It can feel overwhelming to pick up the phone, and schedule one more thing. But this may easily become your favorite part of the week. It is a dedicated time to discuss your issues, dreams, goals, strengths, and weaknesses. How many of us get a chance to really be heard and process our emotions? Let a Thriveworks Counseling Provider be your trusted partner in your emotional health.
Individuals, families, and couples seek counseling and coaching for many different reasons. They are unique and individualized in every situation. Some of these are very serious and complicated, and some are simply dealing with life transitions and changes. In coaching, people are looking to achieve more and make their goals and dreams a reality. They may be simply looking for a short pause button during their week in which to regroup.
People of all ages can benefit from speaking with a coach, from the very young to the very mature. It may not be an easy decision, but it is a very important and meaningful decision.
Reasons to pursue counseling may include:
Maybe you were able to identify the issue that you are facing immediately. Or perhaps you did not see the issue that you are dealing with and feel discouraged. There is no need to feel this way. The problems we deal with on a daily basis may be so complicated, unique, and personal, it is difficult to sum them up into a bullet point or a few words. Every human is unique, as are their problems. We can put you into contact with a Thriveworks Counseling Provider that has experience dealing with your unique area of need. We will match you with the perfect provider.
Your life is full of responsibilities. You spend time caring for so many people in life, but how much time do you give to yourself? Perhaps you have simply put your dreams on hold for too long. You have spent decades caring for others, addressing your family's needs, and ignoring your own. How did you imagine your life when you were a child? How many of these have come true? Are you simply settling for less in life because you just have no idea how to make a realistic change? Our Thriveworks Counseling Providers understand, but we want you to know that you can be more. Life is not a dress rehearsal. If you do not take charge of your life now, when? If you do not give attention to your dreams, who will?
Slammed doors, screaming matches, lies, late nights; some of these things are normal in the teenage years, but they can also indicate a serious problem. Young people are dealing with many stressors and temptations. Drugs, social media peer pressure, college and career plans; sometimes if it helpful to have a listening ear that is not a family member. A Thriveworks Counseling Provider may be able to reach your child or teenager in a way you cannot as a parent. When your sweet young daughter is now a sullen teenager, she may spend hours in her room, on her phone, and unwilling to talk to her family. If you, as a parent or caregiver, has a feeling something might be wrong, do not ignore that instinct.
Children are often unable to speak up for themselves, and are unaware that counseling is even an option. If a child has suffered a trauma, it can be very difficult to get him or her to open up and express their feelings. Thriveworks Counseling are able to meet a child right where they are at, and gently work through their feelings and emotions. We can partner with a family, and help each person feel their worth and identify their areas of need and attention.
Perhaps you have a loved one that is struggling with addiction or some other serious issue. You have worked together, giving everything you have to helping your spouse or partner conquer this problem. But at the end of the day, you have run out of resources. When someone is ready to have professional help, you want to be able to direct them to reliable, trustworth help. Thriveworks Counseling Providers in Nashville are the answer.
If your relationship or marriage is in trouble we also have providers ready to help in this area as well. Two people can have very different communication styles, daily habits, and goals for the relationships.

(written with gratitude for the concept of "radical acceptance")
Breathe. Remember to just breathe.
When did life get so overwhelming? I had it all planned out. I did everything in what seemed like the most logical, most efficient order. I had some semblance of balance and control. Or at least, I thought I had it. The ups and downs were just that, the ups and downs. A rollercoaster that I could ride and weather and tolerate and work with. Then the autism happened. Then the rest of it happened. And at some point last year, something funny happened to my mind.
Now I have to remind myself to breathe. I find tools for meditation. I take special vitamins [read regular over-the-counter multivitamins, not "special vitamins" in any other sense *wink*]. I seek out specialists for all the different parts of my life because no one person is big enough anymore to find all the answers I need. My son has no less than 10 "experts" following him at any given time. He has been "under the microscope" since age two. And the most common reactions to the rollercoaster dips and turns on his developmental path?
"Still a puzzle…"
"We've never seen that before…"
"Sometimes this [insert therapy, intervention, medicine or food of choice here] actually has the opposite effect to the one we predicted…"
"Well, in the end, it's really the parents who know their children best. You do know your son, don't you? I'm sure you'll find the answers. …Ma'am? Did you hear me? You do know the answers, don't you? …Ma'am?"
That's where I space out and tell myself again to breathe. In and out. In and out. Just a few more minutes of breathing and the amazing answers to the autism puzzle will come to me… (Dr. Such-and-Such will you please stop waving those expert resource lists in my face, can't you see I'm trying to meditate here?!)
I suppose I shouldn't be amazed, but I am continually astonished by the amount of energy it takes to live this life and raise my child. Not that I'm chafing all the time, mind you. Many days I am quite content with being busy, running the marathon, even putting out the spontaneous fires that erupt periodically. It hasn't killed me yet, so I can only assume it's making me stronger. Still… remember my six word memoir? Astonishing endurance.
For that reason, I've decided today between breaths to share with you all one of my very favorite new-found resources for managing stress and unlocking doors to a healthier, happier existence. The website is www.tarabrach.com ("meditation, emotional healing, spiritual awakening"). The book is "Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha." The author, Tara Brach, is a nationally known teacher of Buddhist meditation and a clinical psychologist with over 35 years experience helping people live healthier lives. I invite you to dive on in and see if anything resonates with you. The writings, meditations and links have been wonderful resources for me.

Stock Surges 20% After NOT Getting Mentioned By David Einhorn
Earlier we should you a chart of MLM, a material stock that tanked after David Einhorn slammed it at the Ira Sohn conference.
But there was another stock that people were curious about, and that was Herbalife, a vendor of health products.
Remember, a few weeks ago, Herbalife shares tanked after David Einhorn, out of nowhere, asked some questions on the company conference call about its business model, causing people to assume that Einhorn was short the stock.
And there was a lot of buzz that today at Ira Sohn, Einhorn was going to unveil his anti-Herbalife call.
But he didn't! Despite a presentation that went over 130 slides, Einhorn never mentioned it all.
And that caused mega-relief among Herbalife investors.
The stock surged 20%!
In this chart below via stockcharts, you can see the big white bar shooting higher today.
One amusing thing: Herbalife sells its wares through multi-level marketing (aka MLM), and the name of the ticker of the stock he is short is MLM. That appears to just be a coincidence.
For more on what's happening at Ira Sohn, see here >

Hyderabad Angels Invest $400K in WhistleTalk - A Social Recruiting Company
04 Dec, 2012, 05:00 GMT
BANGALORE, December 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
WhistleTalk, a social recruiting company, today announced an investment of $400K by Hyderabad Angels. The investment was led by Hyderabad Angels member, Raghu Bathina.
WhistleTalk is a referral hiring application that enables company employees and hiring managers to use their social networks to find the right talent for the right job. The company's matching and virality engine ensures that right opportunities reach the best candidates at the earliest. As openings are referred by friends, even passive candidates are more likely to apply. Job seekers are further motivated because all applications are employee referred. For the company, getting qualified candidates who already know about their company and at a significantly lower cost makes eminent sense.
"Social recruiting is a huge global opportunity. Companies worldwide are struggling to attract good talent. Globally, we see a trend of smart companies leveraging the influence circles of their current employees to find future employees," explained Raghu Bathina, a Hyderabad Angel and Director at WhistleTalk. "WhistleTalk is out to revolutionise the way organizations find talent," he added.
Ajay Nema, Co-founder and CTO at WhistleTalk said, "Given a job description, WhistleTalk uses a highly scalable, distributed computing engine to search thousands of profiles in real time and recommend relevant applicants, reachable through the social network of each employee."
"We like to invest in companies with great teams that are addressing real world problems with unique solutions," stated Srini Koppolu, President of Hyderabad Angels. "We appreciate how the WhistleTalk team is taking an innovative approach, empowering employees and job seekers to improve referral hiring."
"We are excited to have the support of investors like Hyderabad Angels. The willingness of these successful serial entrepreneurs, to mentor and to guide us has been priceless," said Vinoo Chacko, an ISB Alumni, WhistleTalk Co-founder and CEO. "Everyone wins with WhistleTalk: employees earn a referral bonus from their respective companies, applicants find access to hidden openings till now known only to current employees and organisations quickly hire the best talent. WhistleTalk was launched just 60 days ago and we are excited with the response from both companies and jobseekers to our solution."

The US National Academies of Science has looked at the potential for renewable power in its home country, and determined that current solar and wind technologies could probably scale to supply 20 percent of our electricity. Beyond that, however, we're going to need to fix the grid.
A number of renewable energy technologies are poised for significant growth. Wind turbine production is booked for several years, while several companies have reached the point where they're able to produce a Gigawatt of capacity annually. Although the US has started from a small base, these power sources have grown at an annual rate of about 20 percent for most of the past decade, a period in which demand only grew about one percent annually. The US National Academies of science has now examined the prospects for continued growth, and sees no limits within the next decade and beyond, but, should growth continue, there are going to have to be significant changes to our national grid.
The report was prepared as part of the America's Energy Future Project, which is supported by everyone from General Electric to the Kavli and Keck charitable foundations. It's the second of several planned reports; the next one will target prospects for energy-efficient technology.
The report excludes hydropower, which is renewable, but constrained by the availability of appropriate water resources. At the moment, these other sources—geothermal, solar, biomass, and wind—account for about 2.5 percent of US electricity generating capacity, and estimates are that, under a business-as-usual scenario, they would reach eight percent by 2030. The report addresses the question of whether they'd be capable of scaling, should the US determine it wanted to increase reliance on these technologies (the total available solar and wind energy within the US, at 13.9 million TWh, dwarfs any reasonable future projections of demand). The authors limited their consideration of biomass use because they felt it was likely that the government would promote its use as a transportation fuel.

Software is composed of many programs that all together fulfill a certain task. Programs are strict instructions that tell the computer what to do. A computer is a complex machine that uses directions like programs and software to operate, without it it's useless. In other words, software brings life to a computer's hardware. More precisely, it represents what fuel is to a car.
There are two categories of software; operating systems and applications. Both of them are a necessity to one's computer. The first one is the largest program, and the most important one. This software deals with file management, memory management, provides a user interface, and manages I/O devices like printers, and disk drives. Microsoft is well known for their Windows 95, and Windows NT operating systems, two of the most popular operating system on the market because of its user-friendly features. But operating system like Unix, and Linux are more known for their stability, and good performance.
On the other hand, applications are smaller programs that fulfill a less important task. To satisfy the user's demand, programs are written accordingly. For example, a lot of word processor users have the privilege of having programs like Word to help them. Other might like spread sheets, and use programs like Excel, or Lotus1-2-3. There are also database applications like Access, or programming compilers like Borland C++. All those application are very common for personal computers. This is why companies try to sell along with a computer an operating system, and a package of highly demanded applications at the same time.
Operating system, like application is expensive. Recently, companies have been offering free version of software on the Internet for competition, or economic purposes.
Therefore two new categories of software emerged; shareware (freeware), and proprietary software. First, shareware are software programs...

I've always enjoyed building things, whether that's with code, pixels, wood or wires, taking something from an intial idea to "hey, that's pretty neat" is something I find immensely satisfying.
I designed my first website at age 13, and after progressing from tables to CSS3 and from Angelfire to non-geographic TLDs, I graduated from Brighton university with a BA in Digital Media Design in 2011. I now work as a front-end web-designer and all-round digital content creator in London.
My main skill is front-end web design and development, but I enjoy exploring other disciplines. Whether at work or at home, I like trying new forms of design; I've experimented with 3D modelling, am getting to grips with the intricacies of print design, and I do a bit of electrical engineering and programming coupled with product design in my spare time.
