BELGUIM – Hair Goals anyone? We all know what it's like. You look at the pictures and see this "naturalista" with an unbelievable head full of healthy hair. In the comments you read that she grew that hair from a tiny afro to mid back length in just 3 nights. And, she is willing to share her secret with you. How do they do that?
Ok, lets be serious! Nobody grows hair overnight. If you missed my previous Masterclasses on Natural hair care, let me share the highlights with you:
- Hair grows on an average of 1-1,5 cm per month. This growth depends on a number of factors such as genetic background, hormones, diets, general health and more………these are the internal factors.
- On a daily basis, your hair gets challenges from your comb, water, products, wind, heat, ( lack of ) maintenance and much more. These are some of the external factors.
How Does Hair Really Grow?
Your hair grows from the inside-out. Inside your scalp lays your follicle that produces hair (it's actually a bit more complicated than that). As soon as your hair grows out of your scalp and you can see it, it's no longer attached to the follicle. Therefore, making it "biologically dead material". This means that… yeah… your hair is dead material.
It "grows" because the follicle "pushes" the dead cells up (the hair) and out the scalp. If you look at it correctly, your hair is basically a waste product of your body. To be able to grow, your follicle needs nutrition!
So, whatever product you put on your hair, it does not have any impact on the growth of it!
Having said that, let's set up some realistic goals for your hair now.
Realist Hair Goals
In an ideal world, you would have a maximum of 15 cm per year of growth. Since we do not live in an ideal world, you will have to face breakage and other set backs. BUT there are ways, tips and techniques to help you to retain as much length as possible.
- Where you stand right now and do know your hair? What does it like and what does it not respond to? What makes it break? And, if length is important to you… what is your length? You can start by keeping a diary to trace your progress.
- Set long-term goals, but enjoy the ride! Review your progress every 3 months. Remember that your hair grows about 1-1,5 cm per month. Also make sure to always measure the same spot you started with. I can assure you that your hair does not have the same length everywhere. If you want to have a realistic view, choose one area on your head, that you will be measuring.
- Use the right maintenance techniques to benefit your hair. When it comes to product, find out what your hair needs. Do not follow the hurdle and buy a product just because "the people stated that you are a 4b". Try it out first and then decide what your hair likes and stick to that for at least 3 months. Do not go and wash your hair with coke, because "Dr. Youtube" said so, rather ask a professional.
- Don't compare your hair growth to other people's progress. Although it is tempting to see, it can also be discouraging. Your hair is unique so it will react uniquely.
Basic maintenance tips to follow:
If your hair is dry, preferably use a conditioning shampoo. If you use heavy products you might want to use a clarifying shampoo once a month. But make sure that you do not use it too often.
Remember that "squeaky clean feeling", well that is actually a sign that you have succeeded in stripping your hair from it's oils. If you have caucasian hair and an oily scalp, that is not problem. But if you have afro, dry hair, that will not do your hair any good.
Always, and I mean Always use a conditioner after a shampoo (you can even use it before a shampoo as well, that's another technique). A conditioner will help you to detangle your hair easier, this will eliminate the breakage. Next, if you have a good conditioner it will help you put back some moisture in your hair; as well as protect it with a film around every strand. So make sure you always use a conditioner. For those of you who think to eliminate this step and use Shea butter instead…it does not do the same.
After you rinse out your conditioner, you follow with a leave in conditioner. This will mainly do the same as the rinse out conditioner but will stay on longer. Also it will help you to keep the moisture in for a longer period of time.
A good carpenter always has good material to work with, and so do you! What should be in your natural hair toolkit?
- Wide tooth comb, small tooth comb, rat tail comb
- Satin scarf
- Satin pillow cases
- Scalp massager
When you set your goals, remember to focus on your own progress. This does not only go for hair, but everything else in life as well. Feel free to get in contact with me if you want to need my help to help setup your healthy hair routine.

text: Peake is a well known writer who has gained global recognition for his unique style and literary technique.. 'Titus Groan' is book one of his classic Gormenghast Trilogy. So powerful is the impact of this book that the New Yorker described it as, 'a gorgeous volcanic eruption…a work of extraordinary imagination'. Others have gone on to say that Titus Groan is 'dreamlike, fantastic and macabre … one of most astonishingly sustained flights of the imagination in modern English fiction.' Peake has through his writing demonstrated an ability to fascinate, influence and torment the reader. He does this in a number of ways.One is through the dramatic use of punctuation. An example is the unorthodox use of hyphenation. See the following example in which Peake effectively conveys the fear in Flay's mind."… his thoughts flowed back to the day of the Christening when he had slashed at the great soft face- to the night when he had watched the rehearsal of his murder-to that horrible sack that had been he – to the day of the debauchery of the Great Kitchens- to the horrors of the hooting Earl – to a hundred memories of his tormentor, whose face in his imagination opened out before him in the darkness like something septic."The extensive use of hyphenated words throws outburst after outburst at the reader, conveying the fear and panic in Flays mind. Peake manages to make the reader sense the passage of broken thought through Flays mind enabling the reader to experience fear and panic. It is as if Peake has been able to intra venously transport Flay's consciousness into that of the reader..In the four pages under discussion Peake uses the hyphen not only to position the reader in the mind of his characters, but also as a close up audience.Another extraordinary feature of Peake's work is his ability to generate the visual effect, often more effective than a painter with his painting or a photographer through his photos. In doing this he is able to generate a feeling of empathy for his protagonist.This is in evidence in the following passage."By day, the heat of the dead light; by darkness, the vomiting of the sick room. There was no escaping. The season had come down."An effective portrayal of the essence of Gormenghast-a place plagued by mental illness and decay where adherence to tradition is an end in itself. Not surprisingly even the Earl of Gormenghast suffers from mental illness. Peake's clever use of the imagery of vomit and dead light to signal decay and sickness is compelling. Thegothic imagery symbolizing tradition also effectively presses the point of mindless that results in decay and rot of Gormenghast.Minutely detailed descriptions are another of Peake's trademark devices. He uses them to breathe life, vividness and colour to his situations. See the following passage;"…against the pale yellow glow could be distinguished the silhouette of Sweter's upper volume. It was quite simple. It curved up and over in one black dome. There seemed to be no head."Peake's extensive use of detail to capture and amplify the feeling of disgust that Flay has towards Swelter's body is a master stroke. Also note the use of short sentences to generate a feeling of precision and decisiveness. The imagery of the black dome dehumanizing Swelter conveys the feeling of a dark figureless dysfunctional creature.The text in general belongs to the romantic Gothic genre. The setting and descriptions especially that of the castle is reflective of this. Even though a few elements of the gothic genre like the use of the first person is missing,, yet we are able to classify 'Titus Groan' as belonging to the gothic genre. Evidence of Peake's continuous use of romance as parody can be seen in the following passage;"Mr Swelter was nursing it in his arms as though he was suckling it."In this passage Swelter is shown ashaving a conversation with his cleaver – as though it were his child. Peake shows us the consequences of a dysfunctional relationship. Swelter who is unable to care for those who serve him as kitchen boys is more than able to care for the cleaver as though it were his very own son, even promising to wipe it dry with his silk handkerchief. It is ironic howSwelter is able to show more love for inanimate objects (his cleaver).That Swelter prefers to relate to inanimate objects while being unable to care for humans who serve him is another twist in Peake's portrayal of the dysfunctional nature of Gormenghast where tradition and ritual are worshipped.The use of pathetic fallacy also adds to the gothic character of the passage and text as a whole."It was more than that – it was that the darkness was omnipresent."Darkness is nothingness. Usually we associate God with omnipresence, but here Peake has chosen to use the opposite by associating the qualities of God with nothingness. In the Godless world of Gormenghast chance dominates.Peake also uses rhetoric to engage the reader and to show bewilderment in Flay's mind and consciousness."And then, suddenly, what was it that had changed? He had shut his eyes for a moment and on opening them the air had altered. Was the heat even more horrible?"These questions challenge the reader by inviting them to imagine what could have been really happening in Gormenghast.Another feature of Peake's writing is the impact it creates in the mind of the reader by exposing him to incredibly detailed descriptions of the context. One way he does this is by discussing exact dimensions and measurements – an almost 'paranoiac denseness of detail' ."The passageway was narrow at this point, broadening about forty to fifty feet further down the corridor to the dimensions of the hall, whence the second…"Towards the end of the chosen extract Peake uses an epic simile which may be compared to 'Milton's' technique in 'Lost Paradise' , wherein the length of the similie is unusually long, it is related to the analogy of the greek literature."…as lazes through long grass the lethal scythe."This rather long simile allows Peake to decribe the choppingof Swelters ear in a precise manner.In conclusion it seems reasonable to say that Peake is a powerful writer whose unique style compels us to places it in a genre all of its own – a modern classic.

A CNN reports says Florida Gov. Rick Scott refused to go onstage for the first seven minutes of a debate Wednesday night, because his opponent had a fan. Scott saw the fan, a prop that often accompanies Crist at public appearances, as a violation of the debate's rules and said he wouldn't participate.
While Scott campaign manager Melissa Sellers says, Ann's husband never refused to take the stage and debate. Who could put an end to all the nonsense? Who knows the man better than his wife?
She was born Frances Annette Holland in Mobile, Alabama but grew up in Dallas, Texas. She has a degree in business administration from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
Ann is the definition of a governors wife, like her husband she immerse herself on the hard work that takes making a difference in Florida's future. In order to do that, you need to have a successful and happy family and she certainly prides on hers.
She is obviously a well known figure but is also loved by the community by keeping a close relationship with them, in part thanks to social media.
She met Governor Rick Scott during her senior year of high school, they were both members of the Class of 1970 at North Kansas City High School and they have been married for over four decades! They have two married daughters, Allison and Jordan who is married to Jeremy. She is also a proud grandmother to three little boys, Auguste, Quinton, and Sebastian.
Ann loves to read and integrates her passion as an avid reader with her First Lady duties as she spends time visiting schools and libraries across Florida, encouraging them to read and write.
She is also into healthy life style, she knows healthy bodies make healthy minds so she supports health and nutrition. She enjoys interior design in her spare time, according to her FB page.

Trail Blazers 103 - 101 Bucks
Aldridge hits game-winner as Blazers beat BucksMar 8, 2008 - 5:28 AM By David Cotey PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer
MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Portland Trail Blazers will need more road efforts like this one if they want to remain in the loaded Western Conference playoff hunt.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 29 points, including the game-winning jumper with two seconds left in the fourth quarter, as the Trail Blazers escaped with a 103-101 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night.
It was just the Blazers' fourth road win in 14 games and just the second in nine tries away from the Rose Garden, where they own an impressive 22-9 mark.
"Just to get a win is good, but to get one on the road is even better," Aldridge said. "We had to lock down and play defense and we did that in the third and fourth quarter to get the win."
Milwaukee's Charlie Bell scored seven of his 15 points during an 11-4 surge to start in the fourth quarter for an 89-81 advantage. But Portland answered with a 14-2 run after which it took a 92-91 lead on Aldridge's jumper with 3:46 left.
With the Bucks trailing, 97-91, with less than two minutes remaining, Michael Redd poured in 10 of the game's next 14 points - including the first of two free throws to lock things up at 101-101 with 20 ticks remaining.
"We couldn't get anything done, so I was just aggressive and attacking the rim, just trying to do whatever I could to help the team," Redd said.
However, All-Star Brandon Roy, who collected 20 points and 10 assists, found Aldridge wide open on the baseline for the go-ahead basket as the Blazers opened their five-game Eastern trip on a positive note.
"Coach (Nate McMillan) said be ready because Brandon was going to go to the basket," Aldridge said. "I knew my man was going to help on him, and I was ready to shoot it. I was trying to be more aggressive because I felt we needed me to be like that."
"We've got a lot of guys that can make big shots in the fourth quarter," Roy said. "They tried to key on me getting into the lane, and LaMarcus was just ready for his opportunity. He made shot after shot tonight in the fourth quarter. He was big for us. I couldn't have found a better guy to get it to. He was hitting all night."
Steve Blake had 21 points for Portland (32-30), which completed a season-series sweep of the Bucks and remained 6 1/2 games behind Golden State (38-23) for the final playoff spot in the West.
"We need to quit looking so far ahead and just focus on one game at a time," McMillan said. "We can't jump ahead and focus on anything else."
Redd netted 25 points to lead five others in double figures for the Bucks, who lost for the fourth time in five games.
"LaMarcus Aldridge made some huge plays," Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "Roy made a nice play at the end of the ballgame. Beyond that, we lost the ballgame. It's frustrating."

Queso fundido is sprinkled with chorizo and sliced radish, which oozes as you try to scoop it with housemade masa tortillas. The signature mole is complex, livening chicken with notes of chocolate, chili, and spice. Perhaps the standalone must-order is the whole trout posole flavored with ancho chili and orange. And if it wasn't your reason for coming already, the margarita is a contender for the best in the city: La Miela is a take with mezcal and honey that's served up with a salt rim made with chile and dried worms.

Tips On How To Improve Your Home
Think about life with a sunroom or porch addition—or finally sufficient loos for everyone. Home Improvement Contractors usually are not required below the Dwelling Enchancment Contractor Act to carry insurance. You may gather loan quotes from quite a few lenders which is on the market free of value. Not almost as suggestive as in most reveals — they're merely simply scorching, busty girls in tight clothes.
Rolling workplace or home storage items at the moment are widely bought in different native retail outlets, online shopping websites, and malls. That your complete sequence could possibly be decreased to a single, meaningless noise might partially clarify why Home Enchancment became so instantly ephemeral.
If the APR doesn't fluctuate throughout the time period of the loan the overall price of credit score of this mortgage i.e. whole quantity repayable less the quantity of the mortgage, could be €2,299.40. The APR is based on …

Disappointment with _Clerks_ (Spoilers)
"J. Hoppe" <[log in to unmask]>
Film and TV Studies Discussion List <[log in to unmask]>
Thu, 17 Nov 1994 19:30:12 CST
(36 lines)
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I just saw _Clerks_ in Chicago last weekend, and was pretty disappointed.
I had expected a funnier, more daring film, one that would poke more fun
at the customers and the whole system. I was extremely disappointed at
the poor quality of the acting (Linklater apparently used non-actor
friends for much of _Slacker_, as was apparently the case for _Clerks_,
but the results were much better in _Slacker_). So the by-play between
the two main clerks (I forget their names, sorry) was not very effective:
intonations were unrealistic, etc. And I really had no interest in the
love story; I didn't care whether he chose the taller woman who cheated
on him or the shorter one who didn't and baked him lasagne. A pretty
tepid storyline, IMO. Finally, it seemed that one of the central
conflicts regarding the main clerk was that his devotion to the store was
interfering with his real life's potential, that clerking at a
convenience store is really not an important or fulfilling career. But is
there anyone out there who believes otherwise? Of course these
minimum-wage, tedious, and often dangerous jobs are bad jobs; I wanted to
learn something I didn't already know. And the film's advertising
tag-line is similarly obvious: "Just because they serve you doesn't mean
they like you." Again, does anyone imagine that convenience store clerks
_like_ the customers? I never did.
Of course, it's possible that the film is a commentary on these issues,
rather than a simple presentation of them. But I must admit the acting
was so aggravatingly poor that I couldn't concentrate much on the
interconnections of the various thematic elements, if there were many. In
fact, there were some interesting lines, and I found myself wanting to
read the screenplay instead of seeing the film (a first for me, I think).
(Or maybe I was just suckered in by the low-budget indie look of the
thing, assuming it therefore had to be cool).
Anybody else see it? What did you think? And is the screenplay available
to buy and read?

Five Ways the Travel Industry Should Handle a Tourism Crisis
Travel Agent Discover Puerto Rico Joe Pike July 02, 2018
Obstacles that interfere with vacation plans are about as inevitable as a social media chat about politics going off the rails.
From unknown diseases that create unwarranted panic to gang violence, mass shootings, protests and natural disasters that all seem to put the traveling masses' and media's geography skills to the test, there never seems to be a shortage of a potential crisis in the world of travel.
But like most challenges life throws our way, the most proactive approach is being prepared, as well as following these other vital tips TravelPulse has compiled from recent discussions involving top tourism industry representatives.
Most of the following tips for combatting a tourism crisis were gathered as part of TravelPulse's recent coverage of a panel on the topic held during the fourth Caribbean Hospitality Industry Exchange Forum (CHIEF) at the Hyatt Regency Miami.
The panelists were Nikheel Advani, president of the Turks and Caicos Hotel Association and chief operating officer of Grace Bay Resorts; Carla Campos, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company; Gregor Nassief, managing director of the Fort Young Hotel in Dominica; Jacqueline Peterson, chief communications officer for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Jane Watkins, president of Watkins PR.
Mark Murphy, president and CEO of travAlliancemedia, the parent company of TravelPulse, moderated the discussion. TravelPulse also spoke with some top Millennial travel specialists and others in the travel industry field about how to handle clients directly during a time of panic.
Here's what the experts had to say.
Prepare in Advance
As with any disaster, preparation is always the best way to solve an obstacle, whether you're making a living in the tourism industry or if you are a traveler planning a vacation of your own.
"I always tell hotels to have a hurricane policy," said Watkins, president of Watkins PR. "Have refund and reschedule plans in place already set so you have answers for clients immediately."
Watkins said that approach will not only provide excellent damage control, it will also help a hotel retain business.
"Your customer will not totally disappear if you are understanding, compassionate and have a hurricane policy," said Watkins.
Daniela Harrison, a travel specialist with Avenues of the World Travel in Flagstaff, Arizona, said one way to prepare a client for visiting a destination that recently fell victim to a tourism crisis is by visiting the destination herself and showing her customers how safe the destination really is.
Harrison told TravelPulse this method especially came in handy when travelers feared vacationing to Las Vegas in the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting by an individual in the U.S. The incident that occurred October 1, 2017, left 58 people dead and 851 injured.
"Reassuring clients that I am traveling to Vegas myself, frequently, without added concerns has proven enough for my travelers," said Harrison. "For international travel, I recommend registration to the STEP program, always add travel insurance and I supply my personal cell phone for emergencies.
"Together with after-hour emergency numbers, travelers feel an added sense of security having multiple contact details. I also cover a step-by-step action plan in case of emergency, whether it be medical, weather or terrorism-related. This way clients are ready to act if they have to."
As far as travel insurance goes, two reputable companies that travel experts often recommend are Allianz Global Assistance and Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection.
"I think about 10 years ago, I'd say people didn't really see the true value of travel insurance and just really didn't understand it in general," said Daniel Durazo, director of communications for Allianz Global Assistance. "But now with hurricanes and people getting scared about shootings and violence, I think people are realizing that it's worth it not to have to worry about that vacation you've been dreaming about and saving up for getting interfered with."
Be Fast and Honest with the News
Although there are many measures tourism representatives can take to ensure successful damage control in the aftermath of a crisis, Nassief, the managing director of the Fort Young Hotel in Dominica, which was slammed by Hurricane Maria, said sometimes the magnitude of a crisis is too much to prepare for.
But the only other defense is being as fast as possible in getting the correct information out to the public in order to avoid a panic.
"[A natural disaster] is not easy to prepare for sometimes," said Nassief. "We expected [Hurricane Maria] to be a Category 1/Category 2 storm and heading north of the island, within 24 hours, it went from Category 2 to Category 5 The next day you are faced with a reality you've never expected.
"You have to be very quick. It's hard to plan for, but success is being truthful, being dead focused on getting back on track."
And that honesty and sincerity can lead to repeat clients, said Harrison.
"When looking at the demographic, well-traveled clients are less likely to cancel due to a crisis, as are repeat clients," said Harrison. "Having a strong relationship with the traveler helps reassure the client that they will be okay even in a time of crisis because they have a strong partner on their side."
Honesty and truthfulness also involve putting the crisis in perspective for clients, said Rachel Morris of Paradise Weddings and Travel in Houston, Texas.
"A tourism crisis I handled recently was the violence in Mexico," she told TravelPulse. "In April, there was an article showing a spike of murder/violence in Cancun. I had a client traveling in two weeks and I put things in perspective in that Chicago has had similar stats to 'gang violence,' also showing that Mexico is a level 2 with the state department along with the Dominican Republic, Spain, France, Jamaica, Italy, etc.
"So, when a client says anywhere, but Mexico, I say, 'Well, then I wont send you to the following. They change their tune pretty quickly it seems."
When it comes to natural disasters, the traveling public often gets its geography a little mixed up. And some media outlets haven't helped by reporting on the event and posting photos of a city or state that may be as far as four or five hours from the scene of the crisis.
"I think the most recent crisis we've had as an industry was the erupting volcano in Hawaii," said Harrison. "It's amazing how many people don't know their basic geography. Clients were asking me where all the Hawaiians are being evacuated to, asking to cancel their trip to neighboring islands because they thought the hotel would be next to a raging river of lava, travelers being worried that the islands would run out of food. I got some great questions. All it took was a bit of education, pulling up Google maps and putting the size of the affected area into a more relatable perspective."
Besides confusion over geography, the U.S. Department of State can also create some confusion of its own. A recent change to the way the State Department rates the safety of destinations created uncertainty to visit destinations the traveling public previously deemed to be safe.
"Any time a travel alert changes from one level to another, I'm reminded that the news is sensationalizing the change, but not explaining what it means," said Lindsey Epperly, owner of Epperly Travel in Atlanta, Georgia. "This often leads to the questions of, 'Am I safe?,' or, 'Should I reconsider my trip?' For instance, earlier this year Turks and Caicos was put on a Level 2 travel warning. What the news isn't stating is, 'So is half of the world.'"
But Epperly also makes it clear to clients that she is a travel professional and not a doctor. So, when it comes to medical questions surrounding the Zika epidemic, Epperly plays its extremely safe.
"I am in no position to give advice to any of these circumstances, so I simply heard out each individual's concerns," she said about fielding specific medical questions regarding Zika. "I'm a Caribbean specialist, so you can bet we had droves of bookings affected by Zika when it was the biggest media topic and still are to this day.
"I advised them to speak with their doctor, and provided them with the most up-to-date [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] information. I didn't send over or indulge in news stories that felt sensationalized. I relied on the trusted resources who were stating only facts and informed [concerned clients] with the knowledge they needed to make a very, very personal decision."
Show Compassion
Shortly after the Las Vegas shooting, Petersen said she and other members of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority visited families of victims as well as those injured in the shooting "because it's very important to show you care" beyond the tourism effects of a crisis.
"We showed up in masses," said Peterson. "We gave them things, we spent time with them, we went to see the victims' families. We really tried to put that message out to the people of Las Vegas that said, 'You've been there for us for the good times and now we are here for you during these tough times.'"
And Peterson says that understanding also extends to a media base that is often heavily scrutinized for misreporting or sensationalizing the news.
Peterson says its important to have a healthy and pesonal relationship with the media with hopes of helping reporters get the news rights.
"You have to have a professional relationship with the media and understand that they don't always get it right, but it's obvious that they want to get it right," said Peterson of media coverage during a crisis. "And when you have close contacts in the media, you can get your message out faster."
As far as dealing with a traveler's concerns about a recent or ongoing crisis, Epperly said to remember two nouns: empathy and authority.
"When you can empathize with the clients and understand how and why this crisis affects them personally, they are much more likely to understand that you are on their side, so in your responses, you can serve as an authority," said Epperly. "Do your research based on factual evidence. Rely on government sites, not sensationalized news sources and deliver that information in the most unbiased way possible.
"In a crisis, it's not our job to make our decision for our clients, but it's definitely our job to inform them, and the more we can relate on a human level, the more we can build that trust."
Be Forward Thinking
Campos said a destination should have a recovery plan, as it pertains to tourism, in place within five days, although she admitted it is difficult to think about tourism when residents have been displaced from their homes.
"We immediately made it clear that we wanted to be open by December," said Campos about Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. "We drove and pivoted that message, but at the heart of that is the private sector to help you echo that message."
And Puerto Rico saw success in that approach as the destination was declared "open for business" in December of last year, just about three months after Hurricane Maria ravaged the U.S. territory.
"You have to immediately be forward thinking," said Campos. "You have to think, 'How can we move forward from this? How do we make this an opportunity?' And it's hard to do that when people are scrambling to get their property's ready, but you have to be forward thinking."
Know Your Private Sector
Campos also stressed to the audience at CHIEF that a tight relationship with the private sector can go a long way in getting accurate information out to the public.
In fact, Campos said if Puerto Rico worked a little closer with its private sector, perhaps the unwarranted panic that accompanied the Zika epidemic in Puerto Rico would have been subsided a lot sooner.
"Listening to the private sector is key," said the executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. "And we saw it with Zika. Not having a pulse or not replying quick enough on [the information] the private sector was leaning on [hurt us]."
And Advani agreed with that approach.
"It's important to have a great relationship with both the government and the private sector," said the president of the Turks and Caicos Hotel Association and chief operating officer of Grace Bay Resorts. "When a crisis hits, it's important to immediately get back to the table, be fast with information and tell the truth.
"Make sure it's fast, it's honest and make sure you keep everyone on the same page."

I recently had someone tell me that they couldn't understand hunters or hunting. A vegan, the core of this person's anti-hunting position was the belief that the life of an animal is just as precious as human life, and a lack of understanding how I could feel differently about that than he did. While discounting his argument would have been relatively easy, and all of the common hypocrisies were easy to find (my vegan friend has pictures of his favorite leather tennis shoes and photos of his favorite motorcycle with a plush leather seat, etc. posted all over his social media accounts), his approach was not confrontational or aggressive. I think he sincerely wanted to know how I could justify the taking of life for my own benefit, whatever that benefit may be, and I felt like I owed him a reasonable response.
I understand that hunting in this day and age is a controversial subject for many. We hunters represent a very small segment of the population in our modern world, and people are removed from the process of meat moving from field to plate and don't understand what goes on between the beginning of life for an animal and protein showing up in a nice styrofoam container wrapped in cellophane at our local grocery store. I could have chosen to try to educate my vegan raconteur on all of this, but not being a meat eater, I was sure this would not do any good, and it really wasn't an answer to the question he was asking. What he wanted to know is why I didn't find animal life as precious as he did.
The truth is, I do.
Websters defines precious as something that has great value, and is not to be wasted or treated carelessly. I certainly believe that all life, whether that of an impala, whitetail, or a human has incredible value and should never be wasted.
It turns out that my vegan buddy and I actually have quite a bit in common. We both love animals. We both have an appreciation of the outdoors, and we both enjoy experiencing the wild. We each have an adventurous streak, and both want to see wildlife flourish and prosper. Where we diverge is our opinions not on the preciousness of a hunters prey, but in our understanding of purpose.
For me, hunting is not only entertaining, and a means of interacting with other life in a way that no other activity can offer, it is also foundational to my faith, and a resource for a healthy lifestyle. Genesis 1 provides that man has been given dominion over the animals, and Genesis 27 tells us to "take your gear, your quiver, and your bow and go out to the field and hunt game for me." It is not that animal life is any less precious than human life. Animal life simply has a different purpose. Hunting is a way of life that allows me to put fresh, organic protein on my table as well as the tables of friends, family members, and others that are often in need. Responsible hunters see that any animal harvested serves a purpose, and that no quarry is ever wasted or treated carelessly.
Hunting is also educational and incredibly rewarding even when no animal is taken. Every hunt has the ability to make you learn something about not only your prey, but also about yourself, and forces you to work hard, sharpen skills, and prepare yourself for challenges of climbing a mountain, enduring heat or cold, walking great distances, or carrying a heavy load.
Sitting quietly for hours with eyes wide open doesn't just give me an opportunity to listen and look for that B&C buck we all want to encounter in the woods. It also allows me to reflect on and appreciate the incredible wonders that God has bestowed us all in nature. Breaking new trail up a steep hillside trying to find the perfect spot to glass for elk isn't just another chance to burn some calories and get in an alternative workout for the day. It's a moment in time that I can challenge myself and accomplish something difficult and arduous, and feel proud that I made it to the top.
Hunting allows us to see the world, interact with different cultures, and give back to nature at the same time we take from it. Often hunters give back and deposit far more than they ever withdraw from the bank of animal life. It's difficult to get an anti-hunter to understand the concept of hunting dollars being utilized for conservation or how the taxes paid on licenses are used to preserve and manage wildlife, no matter how easy it is for us to see or how clean the math associated with those monies is, but it's not so hard to explain how hunting is a tool that can be used to meet new people, see new things, gain an appreciation for other ways of life, and participate in helping people with their needs. Whether in the swamp lands of Louisiana or the foothills of the Waterberg Mountains in Limpopo or anywhere in between that I have pursued quarry, hunting has provided me the opportunity to interact with people that I would have never met any other way, share experiences, and improve my own and other people's lives in the process. I have fed school children in impoverished villiages, learned bits and pieces of other languages, picked up household skills, and given and received countless smiles all over the globe as a result of hunting. Every time I spend a few minutes in the field my life improves, and I try to improve someone else's life every time the chance is given.
Animal life is indeed precious, and the pursuit of it as a hunter has made me a better person in countless ways.
I am pretty sure that explaining all of this to my debate partner didn't do a whole lot to change his mind. Somehow he can still justify wearing his leather belt and tennis shoes and continue to believe hunters don't have the same appreciation or love for wildlife that he does. I am appreciative of the opportunity I had to discuss it all with him nonetheless. I think it's good to be confronted occasionally and dared to question your values. It forces us to think about what we do, appreciate what we have, and consider why we do it. I hope he comes back for round two sometime in the near future. Even if the discussion wasn't good for him, it was certainly good for me.

She turned up at 4:30 this morning, a bolt from the blue, cutting through 14 years of questions, doubt and pain as if she had never left. We didn't speak for a long time, but from the looks of things she was just as shocked to be facing me as I was to be looking into her dark blue eyes for the first time in so long. One third of my life she had been missing, and at that exact moment I fully believed that part of me had wondered where she was every single day, whether it be in my dreams forgotten in the early light of a new day or deep in my subconscious; a thought battling away to be recognised but suppressed by mechanisms built up over the years to make me forget her.
It was all back now though.
The blocks my mind had constructed meticulously, burying memories and locking away urges and feelings had been shattered as soon as I opened the door, and now that the dam was broken everything I had worked so hard to suppress was now flooding my consciousness, screaming at me and filling me with memories of kisses, walks, lovemaking. As I staggered back under the onslaught I found it difficult to breathe, and while it was symptomatic of a panic attack, I knew that I was drowning.
She looked at me and smiled, before handing me the pack of cigarettes she had gone out for all those years ago.

It's just a different atmosphere, Capitals defenseman John Carlson said before playing at 34,000-seat Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

"You have to deal with the pressure of making a call – or I guess the pressure of making a wrong call – (and) you deal with the pressure of making a bad shot in golf," he said. "And you have to be really decisive as well. Decisive in the decisions you make about what Orioles #6 Jonathan Schoop Gold 2018 All-Star American League Stitched Youth MLB Jersey shot you want to hit, and then obviously you have to make a decision in about a split second if you're going to call a cheap china jerseys nhl clubhouse bfd coupons penalty or not."

It always puts things in perspective when you see that happen, Shanahan said. You know, it's Moore Kellen jersey mens scary down there any time you've got a guy on the ground that long. We've still got a lot of information we need to find out.
That's not something we're focused on, the general manager said. We're focused on making decisions that will help this team going forward.
Of course, combing a 24-year-old's feed for clues seems like a fruitless endeavor, especially if Beckham does show up to mandatory minicamp on June 13. They might have just been a snapshot of how green bay jersey cheap he felt in the moment — an undoubtedly complex mix of emotions, pressures, thoughts and fears. If he doesn't show up, though, Mara's comments about a long-term deal and how Beckham feels about his current situation all of a sudden become quite interesting.
Dallas Cowboys cheap jersey
In the long run it's probably a good thing, Cousins said. Obviously, you don't want it to persist through the preseason. It needs 30 dollar nfl china jerseys free to be fixed. But if it's fixed, we'll point to this night as a night that helped us get going in the right direction.
Offensive lineman revenge? Darn skippy. Kalil spent the past several seasons in Minnesota being heckled and harassed by fans — it even drove him off . The former No. 4 overall pick was dreadful the last three seasons while dealing with injury, and played in just two games in 2016. Joining his brother, Ryan, in Carolina, Matt is out to show he can return to the form he showed his rookie season in 2012 (he was paid handsomely cheap Bolden Brandon jersey to do so). He'll get a chance to the prove to the Vikings they shouldn't have given up on him. Pancaking the plethora of pass rushers Mike Zimmer deploys is an O-lineman's dream revenge. (Or he'll be injured by Week 8 and watch Cam Newton get pummeled from the sideline.)
The former Falcons and Eagles quarterback didnt Moore Kellen jersey mens play last year (who had stints with the Jets and Steelers), and has said hes abandoned any thoughts of cheap jersey nfl wholesale review playing again. But he thinks he has things to offer young quarterbacks, and wants to share it with them.

Buckner may have been drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs jersey wholesale previous regime, but if he breaks out Moore Kellen jersey mens in 2017 (as many predict he will) the defensive lineman will set the Detroit Lions jersey mens tone for the Lynch-Shanahan era.
If the preseason dallas cowboys elite authentic jerseys opener is any indication, big and tall men's nfl jerseys that investment could pay dividends on the 53-man roster.
Newton's struggles in 2016 have been well-documented. He saw his completion percentage dip to a career-worst 52.9 percent and passing TDs fall from 35 to 19 as he took a weekly beating from opposing defenses overpowering a beleaguered offensive line.
John's father Jack was driving him to high school Jimmy Garoppolo jersey mens on the first day of football Detroit Lions jersey mens practice in ninth grade when he asked John what position he was going out for with the team. Running back, John said. Jack stopped the car, a '68 Chevy Impala, and put it in park. Jack knew his son had a golden arm. John liked to carry the ball. They went back and forth for 15 minutes.

A lot of unknowns in custom nfl jerseys San Francisco this year, which may be why two members of the old guard, NaVorro Bowman and Joe Staley, topped the rankings. (Granted, Bowmans health is an unknown, too.) Staley received just one first-place vote (Single), but he
