The age of the city
Camille Khouri of Interior magazine attended the CoreNet Symposium 'The Age of the City' on Thursday 16 June and heard all about urban regeneration and the future of work.
The future of the workplace is bright – according to the various speakers at the CoreNet Symposium yesterday – just so long as we can all get our heads around a few new (and some not so new) concepts, such as sharing. The topic of this year's symposium was 'The Age of the City', and presenters tackled topics around urban regeneration and how people can work and live in harmony and cooperation with each other and the environment.
The day kicked off with presentations from two UK speakers, Richard Howard from Cushman & Wakefield London and Chris Kane from Chris Kane Associates. Howard was involved in the huge redevelopment of London's King's Cross, which was once a place that most people steered clear of, but is now home to a number of major companies, such as the European offices of Google. He described the ways in which culture can be altered or introduced to an area by reestablishing the history of the place, and how sometimes it takes one brave company to make the move, then the rest will follow.
Kane's talk was more focused on the workplace and how it can be transformed in the age of Activity Based Working and flexibility. He was the mastermind behind the BBC relocation strategy and the creation of Media City UK in Manchester. According to Kane, we have been trained to think about the world in separate 'silos'. "This way of thinking inhibits innovation and creativity and makes our progress much more fragmented," he said.
After a short break, Rod Marler from Auckland's Panuku Development came on stage to talk about the success of Wynyard Quarter and what's next in the exciting agenda for Auckland Council. We saw the processes involved in creating Wynyard Quarter, and the road ahead to similar planned projects in Onehunga, Manukau, Northcote and Takapuna. After the presentations that focused on projects in the UK, it was great to see that Auckland is on track to becoming a city on par with success stories overseas.
Boston urban designer Dennis Pieprz was next with a series of exciting presentations from projects around the world, such as a very cool river walk in Chicago and the regeneration of Monterey City in Mexico, using the university as a centre. He showed how the environment was factoring into urban design projects, such as one in the Phillipines where pollination routes were designed into the master plan. He also discussed the cultural barriers he sometimes had to cross to design these new centres, which involved new ways of thinking for the residents. "The challenge is to create amazing spaces that get people away from their hand-held devices," he said. The way to do this, according to Peiprz, is to define the heart of a place.
After some delicious street food-style lunch, the energetic and funny Hilary Barry hosted a panel discussion with the four men who had presented that morning. This was an insightful discussion into the future of the city. When asked by the host when you know if a new development has been successful, the answer from Richard Howard was "when you see the users smile – and also if my teenage children are going there!" This brought about the memory of Rod Marler's presentation on Wynyard Quarter, which included a video of lots of smiling faces using the area. They also talked about the future of work and how companies need to be flexible in order to retain staff and allow for the needs of family, for instance by being open to staff doing some hours from home.
After this, there was a choice to either stay upstairs for a quickfire session with several of the presenters or go down to participate in a workshop by Darren Sharp, a sharing economy strategist. The concept behind the 'sharing city' basically involves creating communities where surplus is optimised. In groups, we were given fifteen minutes to come up with a concept that could be introduced to make Auckland a sharing city. These ranged from using the foyers of buildings as public meeting areas, to volunteering your garden for use by those who live in apartments. The concept of the sharing city is fairly new, but it seems to be something that will carry a lot of weight in the future. Sharp talked about some cities who are already using these concepts, such as Amsterdam, Seoul and Bologna.
The day was rounded off by an inspirational talk from World designer Denise L'Estrange Corbet, and then the crowd moved to the bar for cocktails and canapes. The feeling from everyone at the symposium was that it had been a day of insights that left you optimistic about the future.

To the Editor:
Frank Prial's article (''To B.Y.O.B. or Not?'' March 1) didn't mention one way in which even the finest wine can be spoiled despite the extraordinary care taken in its bottling. Cases of wine left standing on loading docks under the hot sun can and do turn sour. One sip of wine so mistreated is all it takes to identify a bad bottle.

Kemy Joseph
Kemy is a highly engaging and empowering speaker. He offers a unique gift of empathetic entertainment which unites people. Whether speaking to students or adults, he has an almost magical way of creating safe spaces where audience members are inspired to connect and share with each another.
This is even more impressive because Kemy wasn't always a likable or approachable person. His upbringing is fraught with poverty, depression, violence, school suspensions, and encounters with the police. One of his life-changing moments came on his 14th birthday when his dad was hit by a drunk driver on his way to work and later passed away. At that point Kemy realized how much our decisions could negatively impact the lives of others. Fortunately, instead of going further into depression and violence, he decided to turn his life around.
Now as the world's premier Kindness Coach, Kemy helps people create kinder, more fulfilling lives. His talks on Succeeding with Kindness and Empowering Leadership motivate people to be their best selves by tapping into their limitless potential. He goes a step further by providing them with actionable steps they can use to take charge of their lives and help others do the same.

With God All Things Are Possible!
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.' And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, saying, 'These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' But he replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?' So the last will be first, and the first last." (Matt 20:1-16)
This parable was another gut check for the disciples. Jesus had been chipping away at their vision of His kingdom ever since one of them asked Him: "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" (Matt 18:1) The disciples evidently thought that by personal ambition, dedication and hard work the cream would rise to the top. If that is how discipleship worked in the schools of the Pharisees, why would it not work for Jesus' followers?
But when if the cream falls to the bottom in Christ's kingdom? When if men must become like little children? When if the last are first, and the first are last? If that is the case, then Jesus must extinguish the disciples' ambition and dreams of achieving greatness, rewards and status, so they can persevere, and He can work through them.
"So the last will be first, and the first last." (Matt 20:16)
Two weeks ago I described the Christian life as being a blessed beggar before God. Jesus himself gave that blessing: "Blessed are the poor in spirit…" (Matt 5:3). But that nullifies our personal spiritual and holiness aspirations. Jesus humbles the exalted, and exalts the humbled (Matt 23:12)
As disciples of Jesus, we want to follow Him; we want to please Him. But because of our experience in the world, we do not know what pleases Him. We wonder: "Lord, how am I doing?" "Lord, am I growing?" "Lord, am I making it?"
Some of us are overachievers. We want to know: "Who is the greatest…?" (Matt 18:1) or "Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom." (Matt 20:21)
Some of us just want a passing grade. We want to know: "Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?" (Matt 18:21a) or "What do I still lack?" (Matt 19:20b)
How often do we look around to compare ourselves with our brothers and sisters? We want to know why: "These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat." (Matt 20:11) or "When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, 'Lord, what about this man?' " (John 21:21)
"Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matt 18:3-4)
To the chagrin of the disciples, Jesus says that entering the kingdom of heaven and being His disciple is not our project. It is not a class. We are not graded. We do not progress from one year to the next. Discipleship is actually God's work of (1) extinguishing our personal zeal for glory, status, rewards and honor and (2) giving us child-like faith in Christ.
Little children are not self-conscious about status. You never hear a toddler ask his mother: Do you love me? What must I do to be your son? Did you spend more money on my sister's Christmas present than you did on mine? On the other hand, toddlers look solely to their parents for all their needs. Toddlers are completely dependent on the largess of their parents. Toddlers trust that their parents will feed, shelter, clothe and protect them.
"And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.' " (Matt 20:6-7)
After 11 hours of a 12 hour shift, what was left to do that day in the vineyard? Probably not much, but those men who no one else hired still had to eat and probably had families to feed. So out of sheer mercy the master sent them into his vineyard. There was nothing special about that last group, other than they were men in need who happened to bump into a gracious master who would not pass them by.
But the folks who worked a full day became livid when they found out that these last ones received the same pay. They remind us of the older brother in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. They are more fixated on how the master is merciful to someone else than thankful for the grace the master has shown them. So they grumble.
"Who then can be saved?" But Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' " (Matt 19:25-26)
So, who are we in the Parable of the Vineyard? As Christians we oscillate between the first group and the last group. Sometimes we are the first group, puffed up at our holiness, envious of our brother, or ticked off that our hard work and pious living are not showing results. To the first group Jesus says: Repent! The first will be last.
But when His Law has humbled us and brought us down, then His Gospel raises us up: "You go into the vineyard too." Now we are the last group, called into His kingdom by His grace and mercy, like little children who live "by every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matt 4:4). The last will be first. "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
"For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." (Rom 8:3-4) Amen.

This is very nourishing. Thank you Jean.
Thanks Joel.
I wonder what would become of much of the Christian publishing industry if Christians actually understood what Jesus is saying to us.
good teaching again, but, of course we must press on toward the prize of the high calling – run the race…
i always, rightly or wrongly, read this parable to mean that some would live their lives in rebellion and come to know Christ at a later stage of life, some at the very end of their lives… and they would receive their wages solely according to God's will (and wisdom), not according to how many years they'd "been with the company."
"The disciples evidently thought that by personal ambition, dedication and hard work the cream would rise to the top."
we don't receive much teaching on this, do we? unless, it is deemed necessary to put us pew sitters in our place 🙂
for a number of years we were in a very bad school district and when i met with one of my children's teachers regarding the child's drop from high honor role to failing grades, their response was, in essence, it's your problem, "we find that the cream rises to the top; you expect too much of your children."
i wish i'd had the presence of mind to remind them that so does pond scum, maybe we've seen that in some church fellowships also?
"Who then can be saved?" But Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' "
These are such encouraging words from our Lord.
"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people." – 1 Timothy 2: 1-6
He wants ALL people to be saved. Even the "pond scum". 😉 With God ALL things are possible.
I also see the first group of laborers as being the Jews, and the other groups as the Gentiles.
Interesting comparison to parenthood and children. Siblings definitely do get jealous of each other though, just as in the parable.
JoelG: "He wants ALL people to be saved. Even the "pond scum". 😉 With God ALL things are possible."
amen and thank God … pray for the pond scum, too
Thank you Jean.

"Having a heart attack"
About: Cumberland Infirmary Cumberland Infirmary Carlisle CA2 7HY
Posted via NHS Choices
On the 23rd June 2016 I was cycling with a friend near Buttermere in the Lake District when suddenly I developed chest pains. Unfortunately they was no phone signal but I managed to obtain a lift into Keswick, the people driving rang for an ambulance as soon as we could get a phone signal. An ambulance met me at the roadside near Keswick and transported me to the Cumberland Infirmary. The journey from Keswick to Carlisle seemed long but the ambulance personnel give me pain killers and reassurance and these are the first two people I would like to say thank you to. On arrival at the Cumberland Infirmary I was told that the consultant was on the way and within a few minutes I was being prepared for the procedure that would clear my blocked artery. The consultant arrived and quickly briefed me about what was going to happen, the procedure took place and I immediately began to feel better. On feeling better I was able to thank the consultant and the other members of their team. Up until seeing the consultant I was uncertain about what was happening to me, they informed me about what was happening to me, and what the team was going to do. I would like to thank the consultant and the team for what they did, although it was a difficult time their reassurance and caring manner, with a little bit of humour thrown in, made it seem less serious. After being given the ok I was take to the Coronary Care Unit where I spent the next four days. My time in the unit was made a good experience by the team of people who shared in my care, I would like to thank all of them. An example of the care I received was on the second night my wife, who was travelling form our home in Middlesbrough, was able to stay the night and a nurse went out of her way to obtain a reclining chair and bedding that made her stay more comfortable. The staff on the ward were always cheerful and keen to ensure that I was comfortable and aware of what was happening to me. I will forever be grateful.
I hope I have no reason to revisit the Cumberland Infirmary but if I ever find myself in a similar predicament I will take the an awareness that I will be in excellent hands and the outcome will be positive, once again thanks to everyone who took part in my care.
Response from Cumberland Infirmary 16 months ago
Thank you for getting in touch with us with such a positive review of your recent experience of the Cumberland Infirmary after sustaining a heart attack during your cycling trip to the Lake District.
I am very pleased to hear that you found the care and attention to be of such a high standard.
The team work very hard to ensure patients are comfortable and fully understand how anxious patient's families can be, especially when distance to home is involved. It is pleasing to hear that you found the care and attention to be of such a high standard.
I will pass your comments to the Matron for the area as I am sure she will be delighted to share your feedback with the wider team.
I do hope that your health is continuing to improve.
Best wishes for the future.

There's something inescapably appealing about this camp 1983 Star
Wars-meets-The Lord of the Rings knockoff that encourages the
viewer to overlook its many silly shortcomings and simply enjoy the fun.
James Horner's rollicking music score certainly helps, as does the
epic-scale CinemaScope photography of the breathtaking Italian landscapes.
The costumes and extravagant production design are also great to look at,
and much of Derek Meddings's visual effects work still looks striking.
Freddie Jones stands head and shoulders above the rest of the cast as the
wise Ynyr, while the two romantic leads, Ken Marshall as Prince Colwyn and
Lysette Anthony (with an overdubbed American voice) as Princess Lyssa, are
mere formalities on which to hang the plot. The all-British supporting
cast includes Todd Carty, Bernard Bresslaw, Robbie Coltrane, Liam Neeson,
and the gorgeous Francesca Annis. If you feel the need for some escapist
sword-and-sorcery fantasy, then Krull delivers in full measure.
Is Krull one of your favorite movies? What do you remember about it? Share your stories (or your reviews) with the world! (We print the best stories right here!)

Télé Lumière and Noursat, the only Catholic television and satellite network broadcast from the Middle East, has announced it will air a series of celebrations to honor Blessed Mother Teresa's 100th birthday. A highlight of its coverage will be the installation of a nearly 10-foot-tall statue of the woman devoted to charity.
The statue will be erected in Sed El Bouchrieh, a city in the Fanar region of Lebanon, where the first Missionaries of Charity convent was established. Since 1979, Mother Teresa's religious order has had a center in Fanar and another in Becharre.
In 1982 Mother Teresa visited Lebanon and transferred to safety about 50 orphans and disabled people who had been trapped by Israeli bombing.
The Fanar center hosts orphans or children rejected by their families because of their handicaps. It also hosts abandoned women who have no children to care for them.
The statue to be installed is close to 10 feet in height and stands on a on a 6.5-foot high platform. It shows Mother Teresa with a "comforting tender smile" and a "bright healing look," Télé Lumière and Noursat reports.
Its creator is artist George Aoun, while Armenian engineer Sarkis Ohanian coated the work with bronze.
Télé Lumière and Noursat is preparing a "majestic, official diplomatic and popular festival" for the occasion. The program will air at 6 p.m. Beirut time on Aug. 26.
The Maronite Archbishop of Beirut Boulos Matar will celebrate a Mass for the event in St. Takla Church. There will be a procession to the statue's platform, with participants chanting and singing hymns.
Télé Lumière and Noursat has produced and broadcast several programs about Mother Teresa, including a documentary filmed in Calcutta. For three months it has aired a daily program titled "The Essence of Calcutta."
"The station considers this as a small recognition from, and a testimony to the ways she touched the lives of the people, all the sisters for all the love, faith and care of all those who are in need, and for being a true example of Jesus' love," the broadcaster explained.

Hi Lovelies, Hope we're fine!
I am rekindling my love for red all over again after the phrase "red is the devil's colour" from my old lady! There's something about a good stretchy skirt that makes you feel so sexy. Then again I don't know if sexy is the word I'm looking for but its the first word that popped in my head...Hehe!! Come to think of it, sexy is just the right word! Hahaahaa... Can you tell I'm confused.com? Forgive me I haven't slept since yesterday cos I was in the library all night preparing for a presentation which was due this morning. By the grace of God, it went well. I should be snoring now but I can't bring myself to sleep either. Hmmm...
This is my Sunday church look. Keeping it simple in a print skirt, a red blouse/heels and the usual earring/bracelet. Everything complimenting each other neatly. The weather was pretty good over the weekend that's why you see no blazer. I did miss it though..:-)
What do you think of Dillon's satchel bag? :-) The whole outfit is under £40 can you believe it? Yes we're not only simple, but also cheapskates! Hahaha... We watch our pocket up in here...!!
What I Wore: Blouse (old, Primark, like THIS), Accessories (Neu Look), Skirt/Bag (Tesco, like THIS) and Heels (old, like THIS)
Hope you enjoyed the post. Stay bless y'all!

Needs to spend more time on the range.
The CC holder was probably using a compact handgun, firing from cover at some distance, and unaccustomed to the adrenaline rush of this sort of situation. He may have mistakenly attempted a head shot. Or, perhaps the perps were wearing body armor.
But, yeah, we all need to spend more time at the range.

Looking for a great teen gift for under $20? Our resident expert on all things teen, Madison Leigh, has found the perfect gift idea for you!POST BY MADISON LEIGH
Lokai Bracelets are an amazing gift idea and they're also a gift that gives back because 10% of the proceeds goes to charity. I received my Lokai bracelet as a gift when I started High School from my cousin and I love it! It's a gift that looks great on, but also has a lot of meaning.
The White Bead (Stay Humble) carries water from Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth, the white bead represents life's highest moments. Sourced by sherpas who are native to the landmark, the water is injected into the center of the silicone ball itself. As silicone is a porous material, we have found that over time when wearing your lokai the water may evaporate throughout the white ball. It's those times when you're feeling on top of the world that it's most important to stay humble. The black ball contains mud from the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, and signifies life's most difficult moments. When you've hit a low, stay hopeful.
The clear beads connect the white and black bead together signifying that "through life's circular journey, your path is your own." These bracelets are perfect for a good friend! Join the circle at #livelokai Details and where to buy>
lokai bracelet $18.00 10% OF THE NET PROFITS WILL GO TO GIVING BACK

I came across this video on Set Phasers to LOL last night. Plan 9 Pictures put music from Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo with the opening scene from The Dark Knight. The way the dramatic beats in the scene match up with the music is a little freaky. The longer I watched, the more drawn in I was. I'm wondering how much Hitchcock's work influenced Christopher Nolan, even subconsciously, for the timing to be so close.
Another thought: This music also amps up the tension of the scene, I think, though I'm not sure if it's because it's this music or simply because it's different than the music I'm familiar with in the scene. I think the removal of all the dialogue adds to the tension, as well.

Does anybody else find it ironic we're talking about civil disobedience right now so that it coincides with the Baltimore protests?
The first set of written laws was the Code of Hammurabi, a compendium of 282 laws that outlined how every citizen should live. Most of the laws were extremely harsh- punishable by death- forcing the citizens to behave in a way that he could later on alter those laws to be more lenient. Since then, we've had dictatorships and democracies, laws written by a single individual or a group of people. Regardless of the intent, there will always be someone suffering from it. Suffering exists in the world, after all, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
For the most part, the laws today are pretty fair and just- you steal something, you go to jail for it. Who decides it? A judge or a jury of your own peers. Pretty fair, right? The judge has to go to law school for it, and the jury are a group of civilians. Cool. However, there are some cases that make you sort of do a double-take on the decisions. Have you heard of Junko Furuta? To summarize, a group of four teenage boys kidnapped a 16-year-old girl for over 40 days, torturing, raping, and mutilating her body the entire time. The sad part is that one of the boys' parents were present at the time- during one instance when she escaped, they found her, fed her, and then put her back in the room she was locked in. Why? Because they were "too afraid of their son." She did die eventually, and they disposed of her body in a drum filled with concrete. Mind you, this happened in the early 1990s. The fun thing? All her murderers are already out of jail by now; the shortest and longest sentences were 8 and 20 years respectively. For kidnapping, murdering, and raping a girl. Was there any civil disobedience over this? Not at all. Because Japan is vastly different from us, in both morality and community. There's a famous proverb in Japan: the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Get the picture?
On the other hand, Americans are on the opposite end of the spectrum. We will riot. We will freak the fuck out if anything is too unjust, such as the Baltimore protests going on. Just like Wall Street. We have a very different sense of morality than Japan does, which goes without saying that morality is not universal and is extremely subjective, from individual to individual. Many people value animal lives much lower than a human's, but I do not; a year or two for taping a dog's mouth shut and letting it starve to death? (This is a real case, by the way). That deserves far more than that. But just because I think that doesn't mean others do; my opinion is in the minority. There's a law set in place for these kinds of things, and it seems to be working for most people apparently.
A law may or may not be fair. It depends on which side of the fence you're sitting on.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – For days now smoke has smothered East Tennessee.
The poor air quality has been a concern for people's health. It is also a concern for pets.
Related: Poor air quality aggravates respiratory issues
Dr. Adesola Odunayo with UT Veterinary Medical Center said the smoke may cause dogs or cats spending time outside to cough or have red, watery eyes. Dr. Odunayo says while problems are short-term, older and younger animals are at a higher risk.
"Older pets, older dogs and cats just because they tend to have underlying diseases like heart disease or lung disease, chronic bronchitis," said Dr. Odunayo. "Another population would be young animals. If you have puppies and kittens they really just haven't had times for their lungs to form and their immune system might not be well established."
Dr. Odunayo recommends limiting extended activity or exercise until the air quality improves. She even suggests installing or replacing air filters as a barrier from particles carried in smoke.

Segment details
Clorox (CLX) operates through four business segments: Cleaning, Household, Lifestyle, and International. In fiscal 2Q17, the Cleaning, Household, and Lifestyle segments reported higher sales, primarily driven by strong volumes. The International segment experienced higher volumes in fiscal 2Q17.

Performance in detail
Clorox's Cleaning segment is the largest in terms of sales. It accounted for 33.4% of the company's fiscal 2Q17 sales. The Household, Lifestyle, and International segments accounted for 29.9%, 18.5%, and 18.2%, respectively, of the fiscal 2Q17 sales.
Consumer products manufacturer Procter & Gamble (PG) also has a significant international exposure, with operations in about 70 countries and products sold in more than 180 countries. Clorox and Procter & Gamble make up 1.0% and 12.0%, respectively, of the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP).
Sales for the Cleaning segment rose 3.0%, driven by a 10.0% rise in volumes in fiscal 2Q17. The segment witnessed higher shipments across several Clorox-branded products, mainly in the home care and professional products categories.
Sales and volumes of the Household segment rose 12.0% and 11.0%, respectively, in fiscal 2Q17. The segment benefited from the ReNew Life acquisition and higher shipments for the charcoal category.
The Lifestyle segment had a 4.0% rise in sales on 5.0% volume growth in fiscal 2Q17. The segment saw increased shipments in the Burt's Bees natural personal care business, driven by innovation in lip care and color. Also, shipments of bottled salad dressings rose in fiscal 2Q17 due to increased merchandising activities.
Sales for the International segment fell 2.0%. The favorable impact of a 2.0% rise in volumes and increased pricing were offset by 10.0 percentage points of currency headwinds.
In the next part of this series, we'll take a look at Clorox's margins.

Chapter Four
A/N Hello again!
There's a bit in here that is word for word out of MoA, and I'm sure you'll recognize it. It's those few paragraphs at the end of the second-to-last chapter that made us realize: Rick can be evil. Just remember that they're Uncle Rick's words, not mine.
She lay on the sand, her eyes closed as the sun graced her skin. As she woke up, she catalogued things she could feel without opening her eyes. Her legs were crossed at the ankles, her right hand lay relaxed on her stomach, and the other lay next to her. Her left hand was warm, like it was being held.
She opened her eyes, and took in her surroundings. The canoe lake, at camp. She could hear the water moving, as well as the other residual sounds of Camp Half Blood. There were birds, and the soft sound of other campers training, talking, wandering. It was your average, perfect day.
She looked to her left, wondering why her hand was warm. There, she found the loveliest sight in the world. Her boyfriend lay in the sand next to her, asleep, with his right hand covering hers. They had fallen asleep on the shore together, holding hands. She smiled so wide her cheeks hurt.
She moved her right hand from her stomach and brushed a bit of his hair from his face. As it tickled him, he scrunched his eyes and nose. Her wide smile relaxed into a happy grin, and she rubbed her thumb across his cheekbone. He squinted one eye open, just enough for her to see that brilliant green under his black lashes. When he saw her face, he relaxed his eyes and nose and gave a small smile.
"Hello, beautiful," he said to her with his boyish grin. She cocked her head at him, smile still in place.
"Flattery will get you everywhere, won't it?" she asked him.
He shrugged one shoulder at her. "I don't know, does it? That's what I was trying to find out."
She rolled her eyes at him. "What did you decide?"
"Jury's still out."
She chuckled a little bit and rolled to her side to face him, her left hand still in his and her right in between the two of them. Her hair was in the sand. He stayed laying on his back, looking out at the lake.
He sighed. "I used to love days like this," he told her, with a hint of nostalgia in his voice.
She frowned slightly, but her grin hadn't disappeared yet. "What do you mean, used to?"
He turned his head to look at her, his eyes pained and knowing. A deep contrast from the happy, relaxed eyes he had looked at her with only moments ago.
"I miss you so much, Annabeth."
The smile melted from her face, and she frowned deeper. His thumb drew lazy circles on the back of her hand, like he was soothing her.
"What do you mean?" she asked, her panic and worry seeping into her voice. "You're right here."
He grimaced slightly, a look of plain pity. "You know that I'm not."
The air turned cold, and all of the sounds around her had stopped. Her breath hitched, picking up pace. "Yes you are. I can touch you, I can interact with you. You're right here, where else would you be?" she asked him, falling back to her old standby: logic.
His lips pursed. "Annabeth, you know that doesn't mean anything here," he told her.
She was shivering, not from cold though. "W-where is… here?"
He sighed. "Your mind, Annabeth. You know this can't really be happening, I'm dead. You watched it happen."
She began shaking her head. "No. No, that's not true."
Percy sighed once more. "I love you so much, Annabeth."
She blinked once, very fast, but when her eyes opened again the sight that met her was horrific, terrifying, and far too familiar.
They were in almost complete darkness, Riptide the only source of light. The beach was now a figment of her imagination, something she would fantasize about when the darkness was just too much. Percy lay, his throat gaping open with blood gushing out. The collar of his shirt was dyed red already, the crimson stains progressively traveling south. His shoulder was in an awkward position, disconnected. He was covered in gashes, up and down his body, with a nasty one on his forehead. The blood from his neck was all over his jaw, and more was creeping out of the side of his mouth. He looked at her with dim green eyes, dead eyes. There was no twinkle in them, no recognition. They were just… staring.
Tears streamed down her face as she scrambled to put her right hand to his now-cold wrist, searching for a pulse. Nothing. She moved her fingers to his temple, still no. She finally pressed her palm over his heart, searching for anything, anything, but it was still. He was dead. She was too late. She hadn't gotten to tell him she loved him too.
She sobbed, terrible, heart-wrenching sounds. She gripped his limp right hand with her left, the hand he had died holding. "No!" she whispered at him. "You can't do this to me!"
"He didn't do anything. You did this." said a voice from mere inches away.
She jumped, and tore her gaze from Percy's mangled body. On the other side of Percy was a woman, sitting cross-legged with her hands in her lap. She would be tall standing up, probably about 5'9 or so with an athletic build. She had long blonde hair, her curls falling over her shoulders. She wore an orange camp shirt with denim shorts, and a leather necklace around her neck, adorned with nine clay beads and one college ring. Her gray eyes cut into Annabeth, accusing and angry. It was herself.
The pale and injured Annabeth, the one clutching Percy's hand, took in a shaky breath. "Wh-what do y-you mean? I—"
"You know exactly what I mean," said the new Annabeth. "You killed him."
"No," said the real Annabeth, shakily getting to her feet. "A hellhound—"
"A hellhound that he came across in Tartarus," snapped New Annabeth as she got stealthily to her feet. While Real Annabeth put all of her weight into one foot and slouched to relieve pain from various injuries, New Annabeth stood at her full height, intimidating. "Why was he in Tartarus, again?"
"Percy, let me go," she croaked. "You can't pull me up."
His face was white with effort. She could see in his eyes that he knew it was hopeless.
"Never," he said. He looked up at Nico, fifteen feet above. "The other side, Nico! We'll see you there. Understand?"
Nico's eyes widened. "But—"
"Lead them there!" Percy shouted. "Promise me!"
"I—I will."
Below them, the voice laughed in the darkness. Sacrifices. Beautiful sacrifices to wake the goddess.
Percy tightened his grip on Annabeth's wrist. His face was gaunt, scraped and bloody, his hair dusted with cobwebs, but when he locked eyes with her, she thought he had never looked more handsome.
"We're staying together," he promised. "You're not getting away from me. Never again."
Only then did she understand what would happen. A one way trip. A very hard fall.
"As long as we're together," she said.
She heard Nico and Hazel still screaming for help. She saw sunlight far, far above—maybe the last sunlight she would ever see.
Then Percy let go of his tiny ledge, and together, holding hands, he and Annabeth fell into the endless darkness.
Annabeth gasped as the truth hit her like a freight train. He had fallen in for her. He had given up his life to be with her. And she couldn't save him.
The Real Annabeth looked up at the new one to see her nodding her head. "Has your pretty head figured it out now? You let him fall in with you. You—"
"Wait, that's not fair," Real Annabeth countered with a shaky voice. "This is Percy, he's stubborn… He—he wouldn't have dropped me, his mind was made, he—"
New Annabeth cut her off in a patronizing tone. "Annabeth, Annabeth, don't kid yourself. The only two people in the world he would change his mind for are his mother, and you. You could've changed his mind. And you didn't." New Annabeth walked around Percy and toward her slowly, her sneering mouth spewing hateful truths at her. "You were grateful he was with you, because you didn't want to lose him again. You didn't want to be alone. And now look," she said as she gestured to Percy. "You've killed the love of your life. And mine. So…" New Annabeth drew her knife. "I figure I make it a short life."
She raised her weapon, and before Real Annabeth had time to defend herself, she brought the weapon down.
Annabeth gasped harshly, dragging air into her aching lungs as she woke. She sat up, pushing the figure above her away. She looked around the room frantically, looking for the figment of her imagination that wanted to kill her. Instead of a bloodthirsty blonde, her eyes found a pale man with black hair and worried green eyes, which were boring into hers from in front of her, where she had pushed him.
Upon seeing him, tears sprang to her eyes and her face crumpled as she put her arms around his neck and pulled him to her. He had been hovering above her much like the night before, and was now quick to wrap his arms around her to supply comfort. She cried into his neck while he rubbed her arms, trying to calm her.
"I'm s-so sorry, Percy!" she sobbed against his neck, for reasons that were beyond him. He pulled back and looked at her face, trying to get her to meet his eyes. "I-it's all my f-fault!"
"Hey, shh," he consoled her, waiting for her to calm down. She bit her lower lip in an effort to control her sobs, looking down. He put his index finger under her chin and pulled her face up to look at him through her watery and bloodshot eyes.
"Why are you apologizing?" he asked her in a soft tone.
Her breath caught again, but she kept herself together. "Because it's all my fault."
Her response was pretty vague, but he overlooked it and looked for more answers. "What do you think is your fault?"
"You… you almost died because of me. It's my fault you were in Tartarus."
Percy shook his head. "How in the world is it your fault?"
She took a deep breath, meant to be cleansing, but it didn't work well. "I shouldn't have let you fall in with me."
Percy raised his eyebrows. "Let me? Annabeth, I—"
"I didn't even try to talk you out of it. I was selfish, and—"
"Annabeth, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but nothing in the world would have stopped me. I was not going to let you fall by yourself."
Annabeth looked at him. Really looked at him. His eyes weren't quite as lifeless as they had been in the days before, they had determination in them. His eyebrows were scrunched, like they were when he worried or concentrated. He looked more like his old self than he had in weeks.
"What was your dream about, Annabeth?" he asked her quietly.
She tore her eyes from his and looked back at her lap, where her hands played with the hem of her shirt. "I… I don't want to talk about it, Percy."
He sighed, and rubbed his hand on her back some more. "Will you tell me why you were talking to yourself, then?"
She scowled at him. "You talk to yourself when you have nightmares too, Seaweed Brain."
He shook his head. "Not what I meant. You were saying your own name, like you were talking to yourself. Or someone with the same name. Why?"
Her scowl softened into a sad half-pout. She hadn't wanted to talk about it, and he had prompted the conversation anyway. But his face was soft and worried, indicating that he only wanted to help her. She sighed. "What did I say, exactly?" she asked him quietly.
"I just heard you mumbling something like 'no, Annabeth' at the beginning, and then the rest was just bits and pieces of sentences that I didn't get."
She nodded and looked back at her hands. "Ok."
Percy was quiet for a minute before he spoke again. "You don't have to tell me, but I'd like to know."
She looked at him once again. He looked helpless, wanting to help but unsure how.
She sighed. "You and I were on the beach of the canoe lake at camp. Everything was beautiful, and just the way I remembered it, and so realistic I didn't realize I was dreaming." She paused to think about the rest of her nightmare, knowing that she could stop now and Percy wouldn't think any less of her. She kept going.
She told him about the rest of her dream, with him dying in Tartarus and her other self killing her. The longer she spoke the faster she went, hoping to get all of the words out before her tears choked her out and she couldn't speak.
Percy listened to her without interrupting. He could tell she was trying to tell him everything without emotion, in an almost monotone, but he knew her well enough to hear those soft hiccups and wavers in her voice.
She leaned against his chest. "And then she was about to stab me when I woke up."
Percy took her quiet to mean she was done. "Ok. Do you feel better now?"
Annabeth took a deep breath in through the nose, then exhaled out of her mouth. She paused, then decided "No."
Percy cocked his head at her. "Not even a little?"
Annabeth assessed herself. "Alright, I feel a little better."
Percy nodded, satisfied. "Thought so."
She rolled her eyes. Percy was proud of himself for coming up with the idea to talk about their dreams to see if it made them feel better, and sometimes he showed it.
Annabeth looked for a clock in the room, and remembered that Percy was in her room. She looked at him in panic.
"It's almost seven! You're in my room! Everyone is probably awake, they're going to see you coming from my room! What—"
"Annabeth, calm down," Percy soothed, getting out of her bed.
"I can't! If Hedge finds out, he'll make sure neither of us is ever within touching distance!"
Percy was about to respond when there was a soft knock on the door. "Hello?" asked a soft female voice, obviously Piper. Annabeth looked at Percy, then grabbed his shirt and dragged him with her. She pushed him to the side so that Piper wouldn't see him when she opened the door. She turned the handle and faced the daughter of Aphrodite, looking beautiful as ever despite the early hour.
"Hey," said Piper as the door opened. She threw a glance around what she could see of the room and then looked back at Annabeth. "Did he already leave?" she asked in a whisper.
Annabeth opened her mouth but didn't say anything for a moment. Finally Percy moved from behind the door so Piper could see him, and she spoke. "How did you know he was in here?"
"Well I kind of made Jason tell me last night. Or, this morning. So did Nico."
"How did he know?"
Percy answered her. "He was with me when I came in here this morning."
Annabeth turned to Percy, leaving Piper to watch them and their odd behavior from the doorway.
"Why was he with you?"
"Because he had just woken me up from a nightmare too. See?" Percy held up his bandaged hands.
Annabeth frowned and touched the white cotton. "Why didn't I notice these?"
Percy shrugged. "They don't matter."
"Wait, what do these have to do with your nightmare?" she asked slowly. Percy suddenly didn't want to meet Annabeth's eyes. She raised her eyebrows. "Did you hurt yourself while dreaming?"
"You did! That means it was bad, and you didn't tell me!"
"I didn't have the opportunity, and it's fine, I talked it over with Jason."
"Right, Jason," Annabeth said as she remembered the task at hand. She turned back to Piper, who had been watching their conversation like a tennis match, with a slightly gaping mouth. They had been acting like their old selves for a minute there. Piper shook herself and paid attention again. "So you and Nico and Jason know? Who else? Are we in trouble?"
Piper shook her head. "Just the three of us know. Nico and I woke up because we heard… well, a commotion, and we ran down to see if we could help, but Percy had it under control. Then later he told us that we should let Percy stay, because he seemed to know what he was doing to help you. So I'm here now to tell you that the coast is clear for you to leave undetected, so that Coach doesn't find out."
Percy and Annabeth looked at her for a moment before Percy spoke. "That's… that's really nice. Thanks."
Piper shrugged. "No prob. Just make sure you leave soon. And it might not hurt to get to breakfast separately, you know?"
Annabeth nodded, and Piper turned to leave. "Th-thank you, Piper," Annabeth called after her. Piper turned around and smiled at them. She thought about asking them about their behavior, about what had changed to make them resemble their old selves again, but decided against it. Maybe not mentioning it would be for the best, and they could get better and better.
She turned around again and headed down the hall toward breakfast, smiling to herself. Maybe they were each twenty pounds underweight and covered in wounds, and maybe they were a little broken, but maybe they could fix each other. Piper had seen their eyes, both of them regaining a bit of their old life. Maybe they hadn't come back immediately, but maybe they were on their way now.
A/N So yeah. That's the last chapter.
First, may I just say that the reviews and PMs telling me they wish I wouldn't stop the story were really sweet? They made me feel all gooey, and a little guilty for stopping. But I remind myself that if I continued the story I would probably ruin it, and the guilt goes away and I figure this is probably for the best.
That being said, I'm thinking about doing an epilogue. I don't know how long until I post it, but it'll happen. So don't forget about this story just yet!
You guys rock. Please review?

What to look for when buying a light
Good lights are essential, not only to ensure you stay safe out on the road, but also to ensure you get out in the first place. If you have any ambition of riding fast next summer then a solid winter's training is vital and you don't want your kit to let you down.
Loosely speaking, bike lights fall in two categories: those to be seen with, and those to see with. The former are for riding on well-lit roads, ideal for commuting, or even on rides which takes place during the day but in gloomy, overcast conditions.
LEDs – that's a light emitting diodes – have become the bulb of choice for bicycle lights over the past few years.
In times gone by you had to choose between inexpensive halogen bulbs, high intensity discharge (HID) lamps and early LED systems.
Fortunately LED technology has advanced at a rapid pace and the decision is simple. LEDs are inexpensive, quick to power up to full beam, run cool and, most importantly, are very bright.
Batteries have improved dramatically, too. After all, what's the point in having a super-bright light if its limited run time leaves you stranded on a dark road with a battery that has run dry?
Almost all bike lights use lithium-ion batteries, which are far more efficient than the old lead acid or NiMH batteries.
Battery run times vary dramatically. Never judge a book by its cover. Treat the manufacturer's claimed run times with a little caution – they represent the best possible scenario (a brand new light, with a fully charged battery and an LED which is right on spec, for example). Lithium-ion batteries will also deteriorate with age.
USB charging is all the rage and offers a quick, easy and convenient way to top up the battery's juice. Just plug in your lights when you get to work to top them up before the ride home.
It's not all about the light. In fact, a great lamp is useless if the mount's not up to scratch.
Look for a tool-free mount which is easy to install, particularly if you'll be regularly switching the light between bikes.
Most manufacturers of commuter lights have got this sussed, and many opt for a silicone strap or o-ring to attach the light to your handlebar. Otherwise, many lights use a hinged cam-locking clamp.
A good mount will lock the light in place, ruling out any chance of it falling off when riding on rough roads, and, when riding on unlit roads, keeping the beam focussed on where it should be. Also check that the mount is wide enough to fit your handlebars.

Unemployment Hits Four Year Low
The Bureau of Labor Statistics delivered a surprising jobs report Friday—finally some good news. An estimated 236,000 jobs were added in February, and the unemployment rate dropped unexpectedly to 7.7 percent, a four-year low. The better-than-anticipated numbers are a good sign that the economy will be able to handle incoming spending cuts and tax hikes.

I suppose it could be tied to global warming or the flouride in the water or letting that zany whackadoodle Jenny McCarthy sit in on The View (did you know plaid polyester pantsuits can cause blindness? Bet she does), but things are starting to get awfully crowded and very warm in this hand basket we call Mother Earth.
But rather than be a strident alarmist let me also point out with the various incarnations of converging connectivity or connective convergence ('every dollar of it') it may be we think there's more alarming and disquieting news in our world these days because we have so many different sources for that news.
You can watch basically the same event on Fox and on MSNBC and think we have live on two different planets (I'm so proud of myself for not smacking Hannity or O'Reilly; okay, until just then).
In markets with more than one daily newspaper, such as the District of Columbia, the contrast between the Washington Times and the Washington Post is very clearly demarcated (and now the Post has a smile on the side of its masthead).
In New York City, where the Grey Lady, the New York Times, has chatterboxes like the Daily News and the New York Post sharing news stands, the tabloids tend to go from zero to nuckin' futz in an eyeblink or less. Add in Newsday and aside from another argument to not live on Long Island, I don't know what you have.
That's why between Zombie Apocalypses (if it started in Jamaica, would we call it Zombie Apocalypso?) and objects in space being WAY larger than they appear while hurtling towards us at catastrophic speeds, news releases like Diet Dr. Pepper tasting more like regular Dr. Pepper get lost in the churn.
Actually, I still wish Dr. Pepper would get lost in the churn. My fault, really; childhood trauma I guess. When we lived on Bloomfield Avenue in Franklin Township, New Jersey (I was in 3rd grade), our next door neighbors the Giffins, were from Texas.
They drank Dr. Pepper by the gallon it seemed in short, clear glass bottles with a drawing of a white clock face with only three numbers on it, 10, 2 and 6. I never grasped the correlation between the drawing on the bottle and the odd-tasting soda inside of it.
To this day every time I hear Chicago, I think about Dr. Pepper.
So I'd encourage you while reading this news story, to remember Francois La Varenne as well as John Prine both of whom went to different high schools together and had this fella for lunch in the cafeteria on Fridays during Lent.

text: Hello, I have a question for all of you. I decided to unroot because I am giving my phone to my mother and receiving a new one this week and we need to bring it to verizon and such. So I proceeded following the "unrooting" guide here: SBF to root and to unroot. Thats just one I found through Google. Everything was ok, I reactivated phone and everything seemed to be working, but I was not receiving the message to update to 2.1. So what should I do? Manually Install? If so whats a good place to get the official unrooted 2.1 update 1 file and do you think this will effect this particular phone from receiving 2.2 this week either or whenever it is released? Also in system recovery I recieve E: Cant open / cache/recovery/command. Should I worry about this? Any help would be appreciated. My droid info is now as follows : Firmware, 2.0.1, baseband: C_01.3E.01P, Kernel: 2.6.29-omap1-g0dd7e0b android-build@apa26#511, Build ESD56 Thank you in advance if you find anything out that will aid me.


text: Williams wins fourth Senior Tour title June 21, 2012 PBA CommunicationsBRENTWOOD, Calif. – PBA Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. made a bid to become the favorite for 2012 Senior Player of the Year honors by winning the PBA Senior Northern California Classic presented by Track Wednesday at Harvest Park Bowl.The seven-time PBA Player of the Year became the first two-time winner this season by defeating Hugh Miller of Seattle, 248-231, in the championship match."A lot of my matches today were closer than they looked," said Williams, who was the 2010 PBA Senior Rookie of the Year. "It wasn't all smooth sailing because I had a couple of matches that came down to the 10th frame. But I did what I had to do to win."Williams, who won the Senior Don Carter Memorial earlier this season, captured his fourth career Senior Tour title to go along with his PBA Tour career-leading 47 titles. He also improved on seventh and 17th-place finishes in his previous two Senior Northern California Classic appearances."The first game I bowled in match play was 194 and missed the pocket one time so I had to go to another ball to get a better reaction on the backend," said Williams, who won a total of four matches Wednesday on his way to victory. "I had one open and don't think I missed the pocket maybe two or three times all day. I'm just glad I didn't waste all my strikes in qualifying."Miller was trying to become the seventh different winner of the season and was coming off a fifth-place finish in the Etonic PBA Senior U.S. Open and second-place finish in last week's United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters.In the semifinals, Williams defeated Mike Dias of Lafayette, Colo., 259-228 and Miller defeated Hall of Famer Wayne Webb of Columbus, 216-205, to advance to the title match.The 2012 PBA Senior Tour season takes a six-week break before it resumes with the PBA Senior South Shore Open presented by DV8 at Olympia Lanes in Hammond, Ind., Aug. 6-9, and the season-ending PBA Senior Decatur Open presented by Brunswick Aug. 11-14 at Spare Time Lanes in Decatur, Ill.PBA SENIOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CLASSIC PRESENTED BY TRACKHarvest Park Bowl, Brentwood, Calif., WednesdayFinal Resultsa-amateurChampionship MatchWalter Ray Williams Jr., Ocala, Fla.

Your Place in the Universe, According To Numbers
Numerology hints at how your life will unfold.
If you think about it, numbers are pretty trippy, and the numerals closest to what we use now were only created relatively recently—between the 1st and 4th centuries in India. Their arrival changed everything: the world could now be organized, counted, added, and subtracted, and the results, magically, were the same each time.
No wonder they were considered mystical and divine: as St. Augustine put it, "Numbers are the universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth." Beliefs about numbers' magical powers popped up around the world, and with them, systems of interpreting them—which remain today in the form of numerology.
So, Who Are You Then?
Every person has two important numbers that are easy to calculate. Your Birth Path Number is based on your date of birth and describes your path in life and your place in the world; your Name Number (or your Expression Number) is derived from your name and describes your personality.
Your Birth Path Number
To get your Birth Path Number, add up all the digits in your birthdate. So, if you were born on February 25, 1994 (or 2/25/1994):
2 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 4 = 32
Then add up the digits in that number (if you get a double-digit number again, add up those digits, too; keep going till you have a single-digit number):
3 + 2 = 5
Your Birth Path Number is 5!
Your Name Number
Write down your full name and figure out the corresponding number for each letter using this chart.
Let's say your name is Solange Piaget Knowles.
Add all the numbers up…
28 + 31 + 27 = 86
And again…
8 + 6 = 14
And again…
1 + 4 = 5
Solange's Name Number is 5!
What the Numbers Mean for You and Your Path in Life
The leader. Determined, aggressive, and powerful. Number one gets things done and doesn't shy away from conflict. They're pragmatic and straight-shooting, and don't spend time dreaming or pondering the meaning of life. They're independent and individualistic, and they derive happiness from work and success.
The peacemaker. Flexible, harmonious, gentle, forgiving, and diplomatic. Number two is that person who doesn't seem at first glance to be "strong" or "powerful," but with their quiet resilience, they can beat out any aggressive number ones out there. They're likable and fun (but anyone who gets on their bad side should look out!).
The fun lover. Friendly, creative, and expressive, with a great sense of humor. Number threes have a lot of charisma, and people are drawn to them (they have to be careful not to slip into narcissism!). They're optimistic, popular, and successful in the arts, but can be superficial. Threes have to develop their spiritual strength to round out all that surface awesomeness.
The worker. Stable, productive, punctual, and dependable. Number fours aren't the life of the party or the poetic dreamers, but they're trustworthy and helpful and devoted. They're disciplined and steady, and they like to work with their hands. They're all about the details and can sometimes freak out if things aren't under control, so they tend to be drawn to places and jobs with lots of order.
The adventurer. Freedom-loving, intellectual, dynamic and resourceful. They like to shake things up and keep them shaking; they thrive on trying different things and coming up with new ideas. If it's not new, they're not interested. They're fun-loving, curious, and make others feel comfortable. Their love of freedom is so strong that they can sometimes be unreliable or flaky.
The mother. Harmonious, caring, compassionate, and healing. Number sixes work hard to keep the peace and are devoted to their loved ones. They love to help out and guide others, especially children, elders, and the less fortunate, and they'll fight for justice when they see anyone wronged. They're the shoulder to cry on and the wise counsel—as long as they don't get all self-righteous about it.
The thinker. Introspective, intellectual, poetic, truth-seeking. Number sevens always look to understand the deeper meaning of things and have a poetic intelligence. They're usually introverted and maybe quiet—they're too busy with profound spiritual matters to bother with chitchat. they can be aloof, out of touch, or even melancholic on a bad day; on good days, their way of connecting with others is the deepest and most sincere of all the numbers.
The manager. Ambitious, authoritative, business-minded, and organized. Number eights know how to get results, and they're good with money. But that's not because they're greedy; rather, they're practical, focused, and know how to maintain a good life balance, which is why they do so well in business. They tend to be self-confident, generous, and honest. They're open to commitment, but in a relationship they're more stable and pragmatic than romantic.
The teacher. Humanitarian, empathetic, helpful, and tolerant. They have a global consciousness and feel connected to all, which is why you're so good at fighting injustice and suffering. You can be aloof and judgmental of matters that are smaller than the high philosophical and humanitarian goals that you focus on. But in the end, you're a leader and a helper, giving a lot to others without taking any of the credit.
