EcoFlight partnered with Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC) to conduct a tour of federal coal leasing in the Powder River Basin. The purpose was to showcase the extensive research and knowledge of two experts on the issue - Tom Sanzillo and Mark Squillace. The tour included stops at the Wyoming and Montana capitals for presentations to state officials at the governor's budget office, the state auditor's offices, the attorney general's office and the Legislative Fiscal Division. The article below is a result of the tour:
HELENA — The federal government has been underpricing its coal in southeastern Montana's Powder River Basin for decades, and it's time to stop the giveaway to the coal industry, a pair of experts said Wednesday.
"The government was supposed to drive the (coal) leasing program that would maximize return (for the public)," said Mark Squillace, director of the Natural Resources Law Center at the University of Colorado. "Instead, the process is driven by the coal industry.
"They decide how much coal they want, they file an application (for lease), the government reacts to it. … And the government always approves it."
As coal sales in America decline and the U.S. coal industry looks to export markets, the disparity between what it pays for Powder River coal and fair market value will only increase, said Squillace and Tom Sanzillo, a New York-based financial and energy consultant.
The government also allows coal companies to base royalties on the sale price to an affiliated company, which then sells the coal overseas for a much higher price, Squillace said.
He said he's not blaming the coal industry for taking advantage of a poorly managed mineral lease program. The fault lies with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the primary coal-leasing agency in Montana and Wyoming, he said.
A BLM spokeswoman in Billings said the agency is "committed to obtaining fair market value for federal coal resources" in the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming.
The agency follows existing laws and regulations, including a 58-page manual that lays out how the BLM determines fair market value for each coal tract, she said.
Squillace and Sanzillo made a presentation Wednesday at the state Capitol in Helena. It was sponsored by the Northern Plains Resource Council, a Billings-based landowner and environmental group that often opposes and scrutinizes coal development.
State Revenue Director Mike Kadas attended the briefing, as did officials from the governor's budget office, the state auditor's office, the attorney general's office and the Legislative Fiscal Division.
Mines in Montana — most of which are in the Powder River Basin — produced about 37 million tons of coal last year. In Wyoming, production is about 10 times higher.
Some of the coal mined in Montana is burned at power plants here; much of it is shipped to power plants in the Midwest or elsewhere.
Montana environmental officials are reviewing a proposed new coal mine at Otter Creek, east of Billings, and a few other mines recently have applied to expand existing operations.
Squillace said coal is in decline in this country, because competing fuel sources like natural gas are becoming relatively cheaper.
The decline, however, doesn't have to mean lower revenue for states that rely on coal revenues, he and Sanzillo said.
Coal mining will remain a strong economic player in the Powder River Basin, they said. And more coal will probably be exported to Asia, where it fetches a higher price, they said.
But, they said, the federal government should ensure it is getting a fair price and royalties for its coal — a big portion of which goes to states.
"I don't think there's much doubt we've been subsidizing the sale of coal in this country," Squillace said. "Are we really prepared to continue to subsidize the sale of coal, when it's going over to Asia?"
For starters, the feds should close the loophole that allows coal companies to pay lower royalties by selling to a subsidiary and then reselling the coal for a higher price, they said.
Next, the BLM should set a "floor price" for initial bids and use international and national markets when valuing coal in the Powder River Basin, Squillace added.

Nanyang Business School, Singapore, was recently represented at The Negotiation Challenge (TNC) 2016, held in Vienna, Austria on 1st and 2nd April, 2016.
It was the first time that a team from Nanyang MBA, comprising of Laveesh Hassija, Shajitha Sinasamy and Akshaya Kumar, who decided to name themselves as 'The Nanyang Negotiators', participated in this prestigious competition.
The Negotiation Challenge is one of the only few international negotiation competitions in the world. The competition is aimed at gathering world's best student negotiators, allowing them to compare their negotiation skills and preparing them for the complex negotiations they will face after graduation. This year, 16 universities from across the world participated in TNC.
TNC has been an extraordinary experience for the Nanyang team that worked hard under the guidance and support received from the NBS Negotiation Professors – Valerie and Kit Wye. The team participated in a total of five rounds, wherein they were evaluated on application of appropriate methods from the whole spectrum of their negotiation skills in different negotiation situations. In some of the rounds, the evaluation was based on the team's ability to understand interests and identify issues, as well as their ability to create and claim value,while in other rounds the assessment was based on the instrumental and/or relational outcome of the negotiations.
Though the Nanyang Negotiators could not reach the final round, they were able to demonstrate their negotiation intelligence and recall TNC as the most eventful time of their MBA journey. The team enthusiastically remembers one of the rounds where they were asked to negotiate with another team in a moving Vienna tram. This round tested their ability of managing a negotiation without being influenced by external factors.
The Nanyang Negotiators in action
The competition venue in Vienna
The Nanyang MBA TNC team for 2016 – The Nanyang Negotiators is extremely proud to have exemplified Nanyang Business School at this highly admired competition that invites world's top business and law schools. Their experience in the competition has instilled in them stronger confidence for business negotiations that they will be facing in their careers after their MBA. The Nanyang Negotiators not only got a chance to experience diverse ways of negotiation, but also to meet and network with students from various countries with different backgrounds and cultures. The learnings from the competition and the cherished memories they have from the beautiful city of Vienna are definitely going to last a life-time.

ALUPROF presents the new MB-SKYLINE system at the Warsaw Build Fair
The 2019 Ogólnopolskie Forum Stolarki (Polish Joinery Forum) will be held on 3rd October, during the Warsaw Build Fair. The forum is the sector's most important event and it will be accompanied by exhibitions and talks. ALUPROF will be presenting an innovative sliding door system with invisible frames at Warsaw Build. Leading window, door and façade producers showing their most groundbreaking solutions at one of the fair's side events, the 1st Innovation Exhibition. ALUPROF is one of the new event's main partners.
Warsaw Build is an international fair focused on building and finishing materials. This year, it will be held in Nadarzyn, which is situated around twenty kilometres/twelve miles south-east of Warsaw. The event will run from 3rd to 6th October. Every year, the visitors it attracts include architects, engineers, property developers and investors, construction companies, distributors and representatives from the academic world.
One of the innovative solutions on show this year will be ALUPROF's newest proposition, the MB-Skyline, which was created for residential buildings. A sliding door with an invisible frame, it is designed for individual clients who care not only about quality and functionality, but also about exceptional aesthetic values.
As ALUPROF's marketing and PR director, Bozena Ryszka points out:
The MB-Skyline combines design, functionality and energy-saving properties. The primary feature of our new system is the narrow profile, which lends the construction a minimalist appearance and gives an impression of extraordinary delicacy. The drive and central control units are hidden away inside the frame profile and the frame itself is concealed within the walls, floor and ceiling. This has enabled us to obtain not only on-trend, large-scale glazing, but also a panoramic view of the garden or terrace outside, while providing a threshold-free passage between the building and its surroundings. We've created a feeling of unrestricted space. This effective solution opens up a host of possibilities for architects and designers and, at the same time, affords a means of meeting the ever increasing expectations of clients. There's much more to the MB-Skyline than high-end aesthetics, though. The system also provides first class thermal isolation, which is possible thanks to the use of treble glazing.
ALUPROF is also one of the main partners of the 1st Innovation Exhibition, which is designed to promote the most spectacular, cutting edge joinery products. The exhibition is a side event at the Warsaw Build Fair, which is being held in parallel to the Warsaw Home Fair, a favourite fixture on the calendar for devotees of good design.

Best of
the Twin Cities
It's been six years since Sass snagged this award, so we'll risk being repetitive by bestowing it again. As a double-threat designer/director, his work brings to mind local Gandalf Bain Boehlke, so logically enough, Sass got on board this year as associate artistic director at the Jungle. In those cozy confines he directed the one-woman The Syringa Tree, as well as the electrically dark Shining City (match contemporary meaninglessness with a spooky ghost. Discuss). Most recently he directed and designed 9 Parts of Desire at the Guthrie, which dissected the perilous implications of both the Iraq war and the conditions that preceded it. Sass matches a smart, literate understanding of drama with a giddy, possibility-laden visual sense, and he keeps right on doing it. Good for us.

EDMOND, Okla., Feb. 16, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnviroXtract, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EVXA) announces that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Western Sierra Mining Corp. (Pink Sheets:WSRA) to execute a joint-venture agreement that will place the Gold Basin Mine into production. The proposed agreement will also permit additional gold mining properties to be jointly pursued and placed into production over the next several months as promising mining opportunities are identified and secured. Management anticipates that this joint-venture agreement with Western Sierra will be completed and signed within the next week. The two companies hope to capitalize on the increasingly lucrative gold market by combining forces to pursue promising mining opportunities at several properties identified in Arizona, Nevada and Mexico.
The companies chose the Gold Basin Mine as their first joint-venture project due to the mine being ready for immediate gold production. This strategy should provide each company with the ability to immediately produce revenues under the joint-venture agreement. According to Michael Chaffee, CEO of Western Sierra, "We believe that the Gold Basin Mine offers the most obvious opportunity to move EnviroXtract and Western Sierra forward with an exciting project that provides revenues rapidly for both companies. Under the proposed agreement, EnviroXtract will provide the necessary funding to immediately begin initial mining operations and production of gold and other precious metals, as well as funding necessary for expansion. Western Sierra Mining Corp. will provide its extensive mining expertise, labor, equipment, and production management of the gold mine. The ability to generate revenues within a matter of weeks will also enable the Company to rapidly expand and increase gold production levels and profits at the Gold Basin Mine."
The two companies believe they present some significant synergies that can be captured through this joint-venture agreement. Carlton Wingett, the CEO of EnviroXtract said, "EnviroXtract brings its expertise in technology development to the table. We have a number of promising extraction technologies that will be made available to the venture. These technologies are anticipated to increase the efficiency and profitability of our mining operations. Remember, EnviroXtract is primarily a technology development company. We continue to develop technologies that not only extract and process gold and precious metals, but also technologies designed to clean up contaminated mining sites, removing toxic chemicals and heavy metals from the surrounding soil and rock. This technology advantage is what separates EnviroXtract from other companies currently involved in mining operations. The recent addition of Michael Chaffee as COO of EnviroXtract only cements the relationship between the two companies and ensures execution efficiency in our mutual business ventures," said Wingett.
This gold mining joint venture is another step toward achieving the Company's 2011 Cross-Tech Business Strategy that the Company has recently announced. Under that Strategy, Management plans to leverage the Company's various technologies across industries to move the Company into new markets and create new revenue opportunities for the Company while increasing shareholder value.
Western Sierra Mining Corp. will bring its considerable gold mining experience to the venture along with several properties that it already has targeted for production. The Company hopes to capitalize on its current projects by employing the innovative extraction technologies and capabilities of EnviroXtract, and if successful, will identify and recommend additional gold mining properties for the venture.
Michael Chaffee, CEO and President of Western Sierra Mining Corp., said, "We are very excited to be working with EnviroXtract. We believe that the Company's proprietary technologies coupled with our expertise will lead to some exciting opportunities for both of our companies."
The Gold Basin Mine is made up of 332 acres of claims located in central Arizona, approximately twenty miles south of Prescott on Prescott National Forest land. The site is near Arizona State Highway 89 and is easily accessible by vehicles. A Plan of Operations and Stipulations has been approved, and the Authorization to Commence Operations has been issued by the US Forest Service. Water is readily available on the site with two water wells drilled on the property and a river running through the claims. Production can take place year round.
About EnviroXtract, Inc.:
EnviroXtract, Inc. was founded as a technology development company focusing on proprietary environmental remediation applications for oil spills and other toxic chemical remediation applications that require a complete separation of hazardous or toxic chemicals from contaminated soil. The Company has recently expanded its business strategy to enter new markets including: gold, silver, and precious metals mining, precious metals processing, agricultural, and soil enrichment applications. The company will continue to develop and assess new technologies to enhance its business model.
About Western Sierra Mining Corp:
Western Sierra Mining is an aggressive gold and silver exploration and mining company focused on the historic mining districts of the Bradshaw mountains of Arizona with additional areas of interest within Nevada and Mexico. Current projects include Gold Basin, Oro Cache, Eagle, Treasure Gulch and the Big Chief mining group, all of which have demonstrated high-grade mineralization with previous histories of production. Long-term Company goals are to create maximum shareholder value by continuing to build a strong base of properties and advance these projects toward production.

Hi Chris,ReplyDelete
I'm a patient roughly the same age as your daughter, and I wholeheartedly agree with this post! Tom Kindlon has written about the lack of actometers in the graded exercise trials and the sentiment that objective data > subjective data rings true.
When I went from a moderately ill patient to a severely ill, mostly bedridden patient, I wore a pedometer briefly. But realizing that I could only take 600-800 steps a day was so depressing that I stopped wearing it!
Fitbit is great idea and I will definitely consider wearing one should I attempt treatment.
Great post.
Very interesting. Thanks, Chris.ReplyDelete

Hi, my 22 year old son, with ME diagnosis has been wearing a pedometer daily for 3-4 years now. This was the only way we could think of, that could measure any improvement when all lab analyses were normal. The first year mean number of steps per day was less than 1000. Now the number is 4500 per day (mean for the last month). Improvement has come with antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease (seronegative), but the point is that this devise is providing a kind of objective picture of improvement. Probably will the fitbit be better, but also this little cheap thing we use, does the job.ReplyDelete
Yes, I whole-heartedly agree. Pedometer + heart rate monitor have been my saving graces. I use the Fitbit too and also love love love it's sleep tracking function (wearing it on your wrist to track how much you move around while sleeping). Part of the problem with CFS is unrefreshing sleep and this helps track that too. My sleep has improved from 40% to 60% efficiency at one point and this matched feelings of minor improvements in wellness so it was nice to see an objective measure of that.ReplyDelete
Another test that my doctor does to measure improvement is reverse T3 (http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/reverse-t3/). He used it as a measure to determine how much bioidentical T3 medication to give me and it tracked well also with feelings of improvement since it was sky high (53) when I started 3 years ago and has dropped down to 12 since.

Hi Chris, Yours was a timely post. I learned about the Fitbit from a Phoenix Rising post some time ago and finally purchased one about 3 weeks ago. I agree that it's excellent info for both patient and doctor. I had a pedometer (OMRON)before, and wrote down the daily totals but never had the energy to enter them into a spreadsheet to look for trends. Since Fitbit records this data so effortlessly, this is no longer a problem. The old pedometer showed about half the steps of the Fitbit, but as you say, it's consistency that matters, accuracy less so (about 1900 daily steps averaged over 3 weeks). I wore both the OMRON and the Fitbit for a little while for comparison. I think the OMRON under-reported steps and the Fitbit over-reports them, so the actual # of steps is probably in between. I really could have used this over the past several years when trying different treatments. And wouldn't it have been interesting to see what it would have shown at disease onset.ReplyDelete
Thank you for your report and congratulations on the improvement!
By the way, did you also purchase the premium feature (for export, etc.)?

Bentley is an iconic British brand that is coveted worldwide. With the introduction of the new Bentley Grand Convertible, car enthusiasts have one more reason to love the luxury brand.
"This concept demonstrates Bentley's ability to create a pinnacle convertible Grand Tourer, while embodying elegance beyond compare," Bentley Chairman and CEO, Wolfgang Dürheimer said. "With this car we combine the opulent Mulsanne experience with the full sensory indulgence of open-air touring, continuing to unite luxury and performance in new ways."
With a gorgeous Sequin Blue exterior color (based on a single sequin from a customer's haute couture gown), the Bentley Grand Convertible also features a silver "liquid metal" finish to the bonnet and windscreen frame. Contrasting the rich blue body work is the Bentley directional wheel design, finished by hand and polished to a high shine.
The wheels hint at the enormous power and torque that wait under the bonnet. With 537 PS (530 bhp / 395 kW) and 1,100 Nm (811 lb.ft) of torque from Bentley's legendary 6¾-litre twin-turbo V8 engine of the flagship Mulsanne, the Grand Convertible promises the luxury of effortless performance to match its unparalleled style.
The interior is luxurious and breath-taking with 14 naturally tanned leather hides that are merged together with progressive-diamond quilting and Sequin Blue thread cross-stitched by hand. The light hide is contrasted by the sleek elegance of Beluga leather around the top of the doors and extending back to the rear tonneau, framed in polished chrome.
The tonneau itself provides the most significant example of Bentley craftsmanship at its finest. Replete with book-matched, mirror-finished and dark-stained Burr Walnut, the tonneau features the largest piece of wood veneer ever applied to a Bentley. Fashioned entirely by hand, this expanse of veneer is only paralleled by the creations of the world's best furniture makers, and is finished with elegant parallel lines of chromed steel.
"We are eagerly awaiting the response of our customers to this car. We will ensure that this car – if it reaches the roads – will be a highly exclusive, extremely limited collector's piece," Dürheimer said.
Iconic yet understated in style, the Bentley Grand Convertible represents the ultimate in powerful, sensuous roofless motoring.

Happy Monday, all. Today's Moltmann minute comes from Sun of Righteousness, Arise! p.67:
The Catholic liturgy for Easter Eve enjoins the reading of the first creation narrative, Genesis 1. That is a wonderful sign: the world begins with a 'resurrection.' It is called out of the darkness of chaos into the light of the living cosmos. Thus on the very first day of creation–in the midst of the old creation–the work of the new creation flashes up. In this way creation acquires an eschatological character from the beginning, for in this way it can be seen as a great 'promise' on God's part. With this, its future in the kingdom of God is created. All created things are true promises of their completion. Creation out of chaos is like a resurrection, and the resurrection from the power of death is like a new creation. The God who makes the dead live is the same God who calls into existence the things that do not exist. The God who has raised Jesus from teh dead is the creator of the new being of everything created. Resurrection and creation belong together, for the raising of the dead and the annihilation of death are viewed–and rightly so–not only as surmounting the consequences of the Fall, but also as the comsummation of creation-in-the-beginning. In both resurrection and creation the negative is negated and the positive perfected.
I appreciate how Moltmann links creation to resurrection. We often hold them so far apart, and in so doing resurrection becomes something of a necessary house-cleaning to the fall of creation gone awry. I hate to see resurrection limited to that, or relegated to mere clean-up. To see creation ex nihilo, out of nothingness, as God's first act of resurrection, provides a much richer paradigm for understanding both events. As Moltmann explains, joining them together in this way makes resurrection not just clean-up crew, but more importantly a fulfillment of a promise given in the very beginning, a fulfillment laying dormant in creation itself. That promise is beautifully described by imagining the negative being negated and the positive perfected. Isn't that a fantastic line for understanding the coming future of God? That Moltmann. Zingers under his sleeve at all times.

The VkMsgWindow class is a subclass of VkWindow that works with VkMsgApp to support the ObjectPak interprocess message facility. Use VkMsgWindow for your application's windows instead of VkWindow or VkSimpleWindow if you want ToolTalk support for your application.
The VkMsgWindow constructor creates an instance of VkMsgClient that you can use to manage messages in that window. Access the window's VkMsgClient object with the VkMsgWindow::messageClient() function:
VkMsgClient *messageClient()
VkMsgWindow also provides a variety of convenience functions for directly manipulating a window's VkMsgClient object. Consult the VkMsgWindow(3) reference page for more information on these functions.

Strategic default and moral decay...
Before I even get started let me say that this post is NOT about people who have run in to serious hard times and can simply no longer afford their home. There are a lot of good folks who want to pay their mortgage but simply can't. For them, this does not apply.
What I am talking about is people who make the conscious choice not stop paying their mortgage simply because their home has declined in value. They think it is a convenient or prudent financial decision just to stop paying. These folks are looking at the short term responsibility just like they were looking for a short term profit on what is by its very nature supposed to be a long term investment.
Even with the recent steep decline in prices, homes in Georgia,Metro Atlanta, and Marietta / Cobb County, have had a slight increase in value over the last 10 years!
The strength of our economic system lies in people having faith in that system and in each other. If an increasing number of people make a decision to screw the system all that is left is decay.
Today's Taipan Daily investment newsletter has a lengthy discussion on this topic. Check it out.
Strategic Defaulters" On Home Mortgages Are Barbarians Looting Rome
The "strategic default" phenomenon for home mortgages has hit the mainstream... and it shows, more than ever, how the fall of America is like the fall of Rome.
Roughly two months late, The New York Times is catching up with Taipan Daily.
Earlier this spring, your humble editor wrote on the topic of "Strategic Default" – the phenomenon of strapped homeowners skipping out on mortgage payments and trousering the cash.
In the April 5 Taipan Daily piece, "Did the Housing Bust Fuel the Consumer Spending Binge?" we noted the following:
In regard to the "Strategic Default" dynamic, we can see this logic writ large. To let go of one's home is to be resigned to a grim financial fate no matter what... even as the monthly cash flow suddenly takes a sharp turn northward.
Financial doom plus temporary cash flow respite, mixed with an already pronounced taste for shopping, can only lead to one conclusion, suitable for reading in full-throated Dick Vitale voice: "Why not spend, baby!"
As usual, the government plays a large role in this tragicomic farce...
"Why not spend" indeed – the New York Times cottoned to that same dynamic this week (nearly two months behind) in an article titled "Owners Stop Paying Mortgages, and Stop Fretting." Here is the flavor:
For Alex Pemberton and Susan Reboyras, foreclosure is becoming a way of life – something they did not want but are in no hurry to get out of.
Foreclosure has allowed them to stabilize the family business. Go to Outback occasionally for a steak. Take their gas-guzzling airboat out for the weekend. Visit the Hard Rock Casino.
"Instead of the house dragging us down, it's become a life raft," said Mr. Pemberton, who stopped paying the mortgage on their house here last summer. "It's really been a blessing."
"Force me out if you can" is the new mantra for those feeling upside down and trapped. "Any moral qualms are overshadowed," the piece goes on to add, "by a conviction that the banks created the crisis by snookering homeowners with loans that got over their heads."

How to be a good guest
'Make yourself at home!'
They may say it, but don't forget – they don't really mean it! What a host means is that they don't want you dying of thirst if you are desperate for a drink, so please help yourself to a cup of tea – oh, and if you're up and making, offer to do it for others too. What they don't mean is drink all the whisky, annoy the dog so it wees in excitement on the brand new large rug and, most of all, don't bring anyone home with you! This isn't your home, it's theirs, so if you tend to treat your home with contempt, hold yourself back when a guest.
What to bring
Flowers, as a starter. Plants can also work, but only if you know that your host likes houseplants. Some people just don't have green fingers and staying somewhere for a week and watching your gift slowly curl up and die can be embarrassing. Don't choose anything with a lot of pollen – loads of people are very allergic to lilies for example, so avoid those. The pollen can also cause nasty stains on neutral rugs under their table. Chocolates are also nice gifts, but make sure they will suit the whole family, so that everyone can share. Don't bring soap or bath items as it will make it look as though you intend to use them yourself!
What not to bring!
Uninvited guests – the boy/girlfriend you met the day before yesterday can keep until another time. Smelly feet – make sure that you are ready for taking your shoes off on arrival. Many people prefer socks to shoes to protect their traditional rugs; don't make them regret it. A shocking cold or other communicable condition – keep it to yourself in your own home; any host will understand if you cancel through illness. And lastly, leave your bad temper at home – a close friend or family member probably knows all your little quirks and loves you anyway, but it costs nothing to be nice!

My Blog__ LV's SC Bag

So, I haven't yet addressed Sofia Coppola's Louis Vuitton collection. I know its kinda old news to some of you, but every time I stumble across a picture or two of her fab bags I start researching them it all over again. As I've said before I'm not a crazy fan of LV (mostly because of its loud all over print), but this collection is perfect. The SC bag (below) is my dream bag... I'll take the suede and calf leather one please!

The 3-day MyAuto Fest Sales Carnival already have the support of major car marques, namely Honda Malaysia, UMW Toyota Motor, Peugeot (Nasim), Citroen (Naza Euro Motor), Nissan Malaysia (ETCM), Volvo Cars, Ford Malaysia (SDAC), Jaguar Land Rover, Subaru Malaysia (Motor Image), Daihatsu Malaysia and Proton Edar. The organizers expect further participation from other prominent marques nearer to the event date. "The organizing committee is aggressively promoting the MyAuto Fest to encourage more MAA members and auto related and accessory companies to partake in this inaugural sales carnival or sales promotion platform," Dato' Aishah Ahmad shared.
The MyAuto Fest will run in conjunction with the upcoming major festive occasion in the country, the Hari Raya. Thereby, the event is considered a feasible platform for auto and related companies to hype up their 'Raya' sales campaigns and promotions. Subsequently, the organizers are fervently discussing with major financial institutions and banks to partake in the MyAuto Fest.
For visitors, the MyAuto Fest is expected to offer great and plenty of one-of-a-kind deals over the 3-day period at the MIECC. And the best thing is, there would be no entry fees or entrance ticket required to visit the MyAuto Fest. "We have decided not to charge an entrance fee because we want buyers and visitors to bring their families along to jazz up the event," Aishah remarked.
The organizers have also arranged plenty of food and beverage stands, as well as fun activities and games for visitors in an air-conditioned setting. Besides food and beverage stands, there are lifestyle booths on health, fashion and fitness products.
Visitors also get ample opportunities to test drive their targeted and dream cars throughout the duration of the MyAuto Fest. The test drive venue at the MIECC is a spacious area where visitors and potential buyers can feel safe and secured, at all times. There won't be problems with parking as the MIECC and the neighboring Mines shopping mall have ample parking space.
The organizers have already conducted a ballot for booths amongst its members and confirmed participants on 23 March. Another balloting for test drive allocations is scheduled to be conducted on 20 April.
MAA targets the inaugural MyAuto Fest event to attract some 75,000 people over the weekend. For further details, contact MAA at 03 78439947.

PREP SWIMMING: Records fall in bunches at Nighthawk invite
MURRIETA ---- With a level of competition that was at its highest in some time, 10 meet records were set Saturday at the 11th annual Nighthawk Swim Invitational at Murrieta Valley High School.
To compare, only one record was set last year ---- and that one was broken again Saturday.
"Breaking records is important because people come back after they graduate and they want to see their name in the record book," Murrieta Valley boys coach Genevieve Barrow said. "That's what is so exciting about breaking records. To know you broke a record that stood for years is an amazing feat."
Four of those new records were set by Murrieta Valley's boys, with senior Brandon Porter breaking his 2011 record in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 50.71 seconds, .06 seconds faster than last year.
"To be honest, records here are important," Porter said. "When we see a record that is within reach, it doesn't matter who's name is on it, we're going to go for it."
Murrieta Valley junior Daniel Ghomi broke a five-year-old record in the 200 freestyle, finishing in 1:44.81.
"We've been working really hard in practice on the little things to improve our times," Ghomi said. "It is the little stuff that makes a difference."
In the 200 IM, sophomore Ganem Tebet of Murrieta Valley also broke a five-year-old record by touching the wall in 1:57:60. Tebet, Porter and Ghomi teamed up with freshman Adrian Gutierrez to break the 200-yard medley relay in 1:39.09.
Barrow said she knew all four records were within reach as the team had already approached those times in previous meets this season.
"We were going for them," Barrow said. "All along, that was our goal was to break those records."
Murrieta Valley also claimed first place with 438 points, followed by Riverside King (252) and Vista Murrieta (242).
On the girl's side, Chaparral junior Kate Santilena broke the seven-year-old 200 IM record by more than three seconds, finishing in 2:06.34. Santilena anchored the 400 freestyle team with Lauren Wood, Kaela Nichols and Mariam Lowe and finished in 3:41.48 to break that record.
Two Irvine Crean Lutheran swimmers also set meet records, with freshman Ella Eastin setting the 100 butterfly in 55.22 and the 100 backstroke in 55.47. Teammate Lindsey Engel broke two records dating back to 2004. She clocked a 23.93 in the 50 freestyle and a 51.68 in the 100 freestyle.
Both girls have already qualified for several events at this June's U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb.
The Murrieta Valley girls team also took home first place with 403 points. Chaparral came in second (298) and Riverside King placed third (224).

We enjoyed celebrating Caleb's birthday a couple of times in July. We had a party at our house with many people from the hospital, complete with dancers. For the actually day itself we were at our annual missions conference in Kumbya. Caleb and I (Louise) were even able to take an sunset kayak trip that evening.

I had a long-time boyfriend. We were almost six years and was planning to get married. We already started building our house. But everything turned into ashes and I never regretted that it happened. I always dream to walk in the aisle while he is waiting for me at the altar. However, during our almost six years ride, I realized that it was only I who tried so hard to let our relationship work. I was the one who did efforts and sacrifices. I forgave him a thousand times for hanging out in nightclubs with different women from USA. I always caught him still exchanging messages with his ex-girlfriend. He lies to me countless times. I had become so blinded by what I thought was love. The moment I woke up from that nightmare, I knew I have done enough and I should stop. I am so glad I did. I know I have done something great for myself and I am proud of myself.
I suggest something before you break your relation. Ask your close friend to know the reason why he does that thing. Maybe he is in some big problem.

What is a Nutrition Extender? It's anything that you add to an otherwise nutrition poor food. For example; plain white rice, elbow macaroni, Ramen Noodles or a baloney sandwich. All very inexpensive, but none packed with vitamins and minerals.
Take a look at Ramen Noodles. Mostly fat, salt, some protein and Iron. Ramen can fill your belly, but does it provide you with nutrition? No. Not even close. So an extender provides that nutrition to the otherwise hallow food.
A Wild Nutrition Extender is one that you find growing wild. Examples are Dandelion, Cats Ears, Plantain, Lambs Quarters, Purslane or Bull Thistle. What's really great is, the Nutritional values of these extenders are amazing and the price is…Free!
Above: Cats Ears, Wild Garlic, Bull Thistle chopped, added to Ramen. Now it's worth eating!
Adding Dandelion greens to the Ramen adds, Potassium, Fiber, Calcium, Protein, Vitamins A, C and E as well as Iron. One/half cup chopped Dandelion greens turns that nutrition deficient Ramen lunch into a nutritional power house and it cost nothing to do it. That is what Wild Nutrition Extenders do.
Please use link for questions or comments on Wild Nutritional Extenders.

Just these two words He spoke
changed my life,
"Enjoy me."
What a burden I thought I was to carry–
a crucifix, as did He.
Love once said me, "I know a song,
would you like to hear it?"
And laughter came from every brick in the street
and from every pore
in the sky.
After a night of prayer, He
changed my life when
He sang,

Over the last few months, I've unfortunately had the occasion to hear a number of online practitioners claim that they do not adhere to the "medical model" but rather believe in the " business model." Somehow, these practitioners hold strong in the belief that online practice is not related to traditional practice in the brick-and-mortar world. This position could be hazardous.
In the words of one of California malpractice attorney, Brandt Caudill, Jr., Esq.:
"Faced with the complexities of informed consent, standard of care, note taking, etc., some therapists have tried to opt out of these requirements by simply taking the position that they do not believe in, or endorse the medical model, and therefore they should not be held to it. This has the same effectiveness as reporting to the Internal Revenue service that you do not believe that the tax laws are valid, and that you should not have to comply with them. While this may lead to making the acquaintance of interesting criminal defense and bankruptcy lawyers, it will not cause any change in the IRS's view of the applicability of the tax laws. By the same token, for a psychotherapist to assert that he or she should not be subject to the medical model will be ineffective. The medical model will generally be imposed with or without your agreement."
For more about traditional face-to-face malpractice issues see Mr. Caudill's article: Malpractice & Licensing Pitfalls for Therapists: A Defense Attorney's from which the above was excerpted.

Avoya Travel Achieves Record Q1 Sales and Growth
Host Agency & Consortia Avoya Travel May 04, 2017
WHY IT RATES: Avoya Travel Network reports a record showing for the first quarter of the 2017 calendar year.- Eric Bowman, TravelPulse Senior Editor
Avoya Travel®, one of the world's most innovative marketing and travel technology companies, is pleased to announce that first quarter sales in 2017 were the best ever in company history following a record setting 2016. The company's sales success continues into the second quarter as Avoya furthers its innovative programs to reach and connect more travelers with Independent Agencies in the Avoya Travel Network™ that offer personalized expertise and extraordinary value to the vacation planning experience.
During the 2017 Wave Season, the travel industry's biggest sales period of the year, Avoya generated double digit increases and accelerated gross sales from January to March. Notably, March was significantly up year-over-year and for the first time the best month of the quarter, indicating that the increase in customer bookings will remain strong in the second quarter.
First quarter bookings were very broad-based, with customer bookings for Alaska, Europe, USA / Canada, and other destinations all up more than 20 percent.
Accelerating growth in customer demand is a result of Avoya's recent innovative marketing strategies, which include the Beyond the Web® consumer brand campaign and travel agent programs supporting the record number of Independent Agencies that continue to join the Avoya Network.
Avoya's Beyond the Web campaign has proven to be very effective in promoting the importance and value of travel professionals to the vacation planning and booking process. Continued growth in customer lead generation (Live Leads™) through these campaigns is further evidence that Avoya's been successful in demonstrating to customers and suppliers that travel agents are uniquely qualified and necessary to the planning and booking of vacations and cruises.
In parallel with growing customer demand, Avoya more than doubled Network growth in the first quarter of 2017. The increase in Network membership is a result of the momentum Avoya continues to build from its New-To-Travel program that promotes the benefits of a career in travel, and the many educational and support resource enhancements the company has made to better help Independent Agencies grow their businesses and incomes. Now, more Independent Agencies in the Avoya Network are claiming more new customer Live Leads and providing more personalized, expert service and vacation value to travelers than ever before.
"Following a record-setting 2016, Avoya Travel is thrilled to achieve the best first quarter sales in company history and help fulfill the pent-up demand consumers have to experience a different, better vacation with the help of travel professionals," said Brad Anderson, Avoya President. "We are optimistic that our collective success will grow through the year as Avoya Travel continues to develop industry-first programs that improve the consumer's vacation buying experience while also helping Independent Agencies in the Avoya Network build their businesses."

European Days of Jewish Culture 2017
Already in its 18th edition, this year?s European Days of Jewish Culture will be celebrated throughout Europe from 3 September. The fundamental objective of this European collaboration is to highlight the diversity and richness of Judaism, with the intention of promoting dialogue, mutual recognition and exchange through conferences, concerts, performances, guided tours and other activities.
This year's theme: Diasporas.
As every year, a specific topic is chosen to link the different initiatives that will take place around Europe. Diasporas, the theme of 2017, invites us to reflect on this important Jewish phenomena and consider it from a present perspective.
The phenomenon of the Diaspora is not new, roots of different diasporas go back to the ancient times. Here, we see an opportunity to reflect and compare histories and patterns of behavior of old diasporas - such as India, China, Jewish or Armenia - and their characteristics of organization, identity and structure (or, re-structure). A investigation into modern and incipient diasporas, unearths topics for strengthening theoretical and practical analyzes of the closely interrelated issues of nationalism, ethnicity, religion and the modern diaspora.
One of the main aspects that can be drawn from the Jewish experience, is not an ultimate essence that defines what a diaspora is, but the richness of the historical process and the variety and construction of institutions as a result of it. Jews have been living in Europe continuously for two thousand years, through a shifting landscape of integration and segregation; dislocation and migration; tolerance and discrimination; opportunity and persecution.
One of the most interesting phenomena of the Diaspora is that it allows a study of the complex relationships between global and local dimensions, the ongoing reabsorption and retranslation of people, and insight into local conditions of each community. Various currents of Judaism, such as the Bund, the Reform religious movement, or Chasidism, a movement of religious renewal initiated in the eighteenth century, acquired new meaning in each national context, and others - the originals - were abandoned, according to the particular conditions of each community.
Today, over a million Jews live in Europe. They are an integral part of multi-cultural Europe, active participants in almost all aspects of their countries' civic and public life. Jewish contributions to the arts and sciences continue unabated in Europe. Yet, the memory of the twentieth century still lingers, heightening the need for continued tolerance and mutual understanding between Jewish communities and their neighbors.
The European Days of Jewish Culture: a growing initiative.
Last year, more than 300 cities from thirty-three European countries joined the European Days of Jewish Culture, with a participation of more than 169,000 people. This program is coordinated by the AEPJ, the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage, with the collaboration of the National Library of Israel, and thanks to the initiatives and work of municipalities, Jewish communities, museums and cultural centres throughout Europe. All information on the day can be found at the following link:

Investors are counting on Apple to keep the excitement going over its aging iPhone smartphone line, which was first introduced more than eight years ago. The company gets two-thirds of its revenue from this single product line, 74% of its gross profit from the iPhone and this one product accounts for 61% of its stock price, says Trefis.com. Other new products including the iPad, Apple Pay, Apple Watch and Apple Music have failed to meaningfully diversify the company's offerings - especially profitability.

From time to time I come across a story about a person worthy of being nominated as a "hero of the cold house". Today's hero, or rather heroine, is Kerry Kells– who apparently found her Antarctic research station dorm uncomfortable, and instead spent 200-plus nights sleeping in a tent (in, yes, Antarctica). (The story is from last spring– not sure why it just came across my radar today… perhaps she is back in her tent this season?)
Meanwhile here at the luxury cold house (with solid walls) a "seasonably cool" autumn is creeping along. I cranked up the ol' datalogger two weeks ago to start this season's indoor recording– thus far the average in the living area has been 55F/12.8C. As usual, I listen to the annual rush of stories about heating oil prices and chuckle to myself.

In a very real sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels. —Daniel Goleman
On Today's Episode:
- Sarah Mansberger joins Carla for another episode, this time to talk emotional intelligence (EI).
- Daniel Goleman's five key elements of EI.
- How "amygdala hijacks" can throw a wrench into any good intention.
- The role that empathy plays.
- Bonus: Brené Brown has a great video that illustrates empathy vs. sympathy.
- How EI helps make you a better leader.
Emotional intelligence in leadership is crucial to creating a contagion of positive emotion in the workplace. It's an incredibly difficult skill to hone because it requires us to look in the mirror and become increasingly aware of who we are, how we react and what triggers us. But increasing your emotional intelligence pays dividends in employee satisfaction and engagement.
I hope you enjoyed today's episode with Carla and Sarah. If you have any suggestions, comments or ideas, tweet me @RonKitchens on Twitter or send me a message.
Always Forward.
Question: Pick one of the five key elements of emotional intelligence that you think is most important. How can you begin to hone this skill?

Coral is considered auspicious and is worn in the necklace by almost all the women of Kumaon and among the Tibetans as well. Red Coral is a fossil coral meaning it's the remains of old coral and has been dyed red. The ones being traded are the traditional ones Tibetans wear traditionally. It is believed to be advantageous to one's health and protects from the danger of widowhood, as well as bringing good luck or good fortune to the house. Coral also quiets the emotions and brings peace and harmony to the surroundings.
Since 1980 Karma and Zumki Lama have brought thousands of items made from Tibetan Refugees living in Nepal and India. As Tibetan refugees themselves, they were shocked by how much people in America loved our culture and our craftsmanship. After selling for a while, they decided to bring the wealth back home and support the struggling communities and artisans. We only buy directly from the local artisans and make sure there is no middle man to take away their hard earned money. We make sure to visit Nepal and India at least twice a year and always find new items and artists to work with. Over the years we have developed strong bonds with the artisans and always make sure to keep in touch and see that their life improves under our support.
Due to your support and our continued success, we have expanded beyond just Nepal and India and now source our products ethically, from mainly Southeast Asia. (Thailand, Bali) We have expanded our collection due to the repeated requests of our customers asking for more and more culturally diverse products, and have made some new friends along the way.
You can directly impact the local artisans by visiting either Nepal and India and experiencing the rich and vibrant culture. Many small independent businesses fail due to the changing times, and this, in turn, affects the local artisans in small villages in Southeast Asia creating a domino effect. With your support, we can continue supporting our friends from Southeast Asia and continually grow to impact their lives in a positive fashion.

1. What is a management plan?
A management plan is a document which sets out objectives and strategies for conservation, development, interpretation and operations of a park for a 10-year period.
A management plan relies on current information about natural values, cultural values, recreational opportunities, and resource activities.
Management plans:
Define how a site will be managed to maintain ecological health and preserve key natural and cultural values
Describe the type and extent of outdoor recreation opportunities, facilities and services that will be permitted
Identify issues, concerns and conflicts, and recommends solutions
Identify boundary amendments, consolidations and reclassifications if required
Recommend effective and efficient allocation and prioritization of fiscal and staff resources
For more information on management planning, please visit:Management Planning
2. Where is the Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park and why are these parks important?
The Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park are located in the eastern slopes of southern Alberta. These parks border Waterton Lakes National Park and are located within the Crown of the Continent (the area of the Rocky Mountains where Alberta, British Columbia and Montana meet).
This area is an important source to the Oldman River Basin headwaters and is a key area for water protection. It is one of the most biologically diverse areas in Alberta with over 200 rare or at-risk species. These include species like:
whitebark pine
westslope cutthroat trout
bull trout
grizzly bear
3. What is the difference between a Wildland Provincial Park and a Provincial Park?
Wildland Provincial Park
A wildland provincial park has the primary purpose of conserving nature while providing opportunities for low-impact nature based outdoor recreation in backcountry or wilderness settings. Wildland provincial parks are relatively undisturbed areas that protect large, ecologically healthy and functioning landscapes.
Visitor experiences focus on backcountry/wilderness travel and appreciation and provide opportunities for solitude and personal challenge. Facilities and services are limited to trails and backcountry camping areas that minimize visitor impacts on the wilderness values.
The expanded wildland provincial park protects important headwaters, wildlife corridors and habitat, while providing backcountry recreation opportunities.
Provincial Park
Provincial parks have a primary purpose of conserving nature while offering a wide range of nature-based outdoor recreation opportunities. They typically provide for automobile access and opportunities for recreation and tourism facilities and services, including interpretative information that supports conservation.
Visitor experiences focus on inspiring visitors to connect with nature through leisure, learning or recreation activities that are often supported by built facilities.Provincial parks are typically large enough to maintain ecological functions, while providing for a range of outdoor recreation opportunities.
4. What is the management vision for Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park? And what are the key objectives of the draft management plan?
The Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park are managed as world-class protected places, employing high standards in conservation, respecting Indigenous rights, and providing sites and facilities for exceptional recreational experiences.
This management vision will be achieved through the development and use of:
Thresholds to inform type and volume human activities.
Measurable and achievable goals.
Evidence-based decision making.
First Nations traditional land use and ecological knowledge.
Collaborative approaches to problem solving.
5. What is the management intent for the Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park?
The primary purposes of the Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park are to ensure the conservation of nature, the respect of Indigenous rights, and the provision of recreational and tourism experiences.
All management decisions will be consistent with the protection of:
water resources,
ecological integrity and connectivity.
6. What are the key outcomes of the plan?
The key outcomes of the plan include:
Identification of the appropriate uses and activities in both the Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park that are consistent with the conservation values.
Prioritization of areas that require reclamation and restoration as a result of past practices and activities in Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park.
Clarity around recreational activities such as off-highway vehicle use, camping and recreational hunting.
Prioritization of additional strategies and actions required to achieve the management objectives identified in the plan.
7. When and what facilities will be developed to support recreational use?
New facility development and the formalization of non-motorized recreational trails is expected to commence in 2018. Available data, local and traditional knowledge, and environmental considerations will be used to guide discussions about facilities and trails with First Nations and stakeholders. The completed management plan and subsequent strategies will direct the types of facilities and trails, including their location and density.
Prior to construction of any facilities, additional processes such as Environmental Reviews, Historic Resources Impact Assessments, First Nations and public consultation may be required.
The wildland provincial park classification does not allow for significant facility and service development, and will provide for low-impact, nature-based recreation. Trail development is being considered. Alberta Parks is developing a world-class, backcountry hut-to-hut system in Castle Wildland Provincial Park in partnership with the Alpine Club of Canada.
The Provincial Park will allow for a wider range of facilities and services, including the potential for picnic areas, staging areas, a higher density trail network, and auto-accessible campgrounds.
8. How were the public and First Nations consulted on the Castle Management Plan
Over 45 meetings were held with stakeholder groups, First Nations communities, and individual Albertans prior to, and during the writing of the draft plan. In the spring of 2017 Albertans were provided a 90-day consultation period to provide their feedback on the draft plan. Extensive feedback on the plan was collected through:
Additional face-to-face meetings were conducted with Indigenous communities of Treaty 6 and 7.
9. How was public and First Nations feedback used in the final Castle Management Plan?
All input provided by the public, stakeholders and First Nations was reviewed and considered.
Due to the very large amount of input provided, all notes and correspondences were coded for themes and statistically analyzed for frequency and tone. Where possible, text in the plan was modified to reflect that input, and in appropriate cases modifications or additions were made to the plan's content to reflect the results of the consultation.
Overall, results of the consultation showed support for the management plan and its policies. Specific feedback resulted in the following modifications to the plan:
10. How will the new management plan change activities on the land base?
The following activities and land uses that were previously allowed on public lands will be affected:
Off-highway vehicle use:

The ZLED7010, one of our ZLED Family of LED control ICs, is an inductive step-down converter that is optimal for driving a single LED or multiple LEDs (connected in series) from a voltage source greater than the voltage rating of the LED. The ZLED7010 operates in continuous mode. Capable of operating efficiently with voltage supplies ranging from 6 VDC to 40 VDC, it is ideal for low-voltage lighting applications. The ZLED7010 minimizes current consumption by remaining in a low-current standby mode (output is off) until a voltage of ≥0.3V is applied to the ADJI pin. In operating mode, the ZLED7010 can source LEDs with an output current of ≤750mA (≤30 watts of output power) that is externally adjustable. The ZLED7010's integrated output switch and high-side current sensing circuit use an external resistor to adjust the average out-put current. LED control is achieved via an external control signal at the ZLED7010's ADJI pin, implemented as a pulse-width modulation (PWM) waveform for a gated output current or a DC voltage for continuous current. The ZLED7010 provides a temperature compensation function for maintaining stable and reliable LED operation. LED over-temperature conditions are detected via a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor mounted close to the LEDs. If an over-temperature condition occurs, the NTC value reaches the value of a threshold resistor and the IC reduces LED current automatically. After the circuit recovers to a safe temperature, current returns to the set value. ADJO outputs and ADJI inputs of consecutive ICs can be interconnected as a driver chain deploying the temperature compensation information of the predecessor. This reduces the part count because only the first stage of the series requires an NTC.
- Capable of 95% efficiency
- Operates in continuous mode with a wide input range from 6 VDC to 40 VDC
- Integrated 40V power switch
- One-pin on/off or brightness control via DC voltage or PWM control signal
- Switching frequency: ≤1MHz
- Dimming rate: 1200:1 (typical)
- Output current accuracy: 5% (typical)
- Built-in temperature compensation and open-circuit protection for LEDs
- Thermal shutdown protection for the ZLED7010
- Very few external components needed for operation
- Broad range of applications: outputs up to ≤750mA
- SOP-8 package

Towson University has one of the fewest crimes per capita of any public higher education institution in Maryland. When crime does occur, it is reported immediately and is made public for the safety of others.
The University Police posts crime alerts to promote awareness of potential safety
situations in the campus community. Individuals are expected to review the warnings
and take reasonable steps towards maintaining personal safety. Becoming actively involved
in crime prevention is the best way to defend against becoming a victim.
These crime alerts promote safety on campus and comply, in part with Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Police and Campus Crine Statistics Act of 1990.
Towson University reports annual crime statistics through the Clery Report and Uniform Crime Reports (UCRs). UCR statistics are verified and published each spring for the previous calendar year. The Clery Report and UCR comparison are published in the fall of every year for the previous calendar year.

Gather some Lemons, Sweet Strawberries, Agave Nectar, and Chia seeds so you can create and enjoy this refreshing Strawberry-Lemonade Chia drink in just a few minutes!! Truly feels like Summer in a cup!
My daughter has been begging me to make lemonade for weeks! Here on the blueberry farm, we get lots of seasonal traffic and though we aren't in berry-picking season yet, she's got LOTS of entrepreneurial plans. Those plans include selling Lemonade to our pickers. And NOW it includes selling Strawberry-Lemonade Chia Drink. She's sure it'll sell like crazy. I kinda agree with her.
But you don't have to buy it and you don't have to wait!!
Lucky you!
You'll need:
- Fresh Lemons – probably 2-3 but if they're small make sure to get extra!
- Fresh Strawberries – 8-10
- Chia Seeds
- Agave or a smilar syrupy sweetener
Oh, and water! But that's it, and you're ready to go.
The steps:
Start by soaking your chia seeds in 1 Cup water. By the time you are ready to add them to the mix, they'll be fine ( we're talking around 10 minutes). Gently stir them a bit so they don't all try to clump together. (Photo 1)
Go ahead and juice your lemons, measuring out about 1/2 cup. Save aside (Photos 2,3).
Rinse and cap strawberries and place in blender with one cup of water. Blend until pureed and then pour through a fine mesh strainer to get the majority of pulp out (Photos 4, 5, 6).
Add fresh squeezed lemon juice, agave, strained strawberry puree, and remaining water back into blender and whiz lightly to mix. (Photo 7). After pouring into serving pitcher, add soaked Chia seeds and mix gently before serving! (Photos 8,9).
Tip: Chia seeds tend to settle, so be sure to give a quick mix before serving!
(IF you don't mind a little strawberry pulp, skip the straining step for a slightly less clear, but still just-as-yummy chia drink! The pic below is with pulp!)
Now YOU can feel all posh with your new healthy and tasty Chia drink! Hope you love it!!
