I found this meme on a fellow Fiction Press author's page and I thought it would be fun to share here. These symptoms of writing mania are definitely exaggerated during NaNoWriMo season.
1. You would rather talk to the voices in your head than the person sitting next to you.
2. You know the research librarian's office, cell, and home phone numbers, but can't remember your own.
3. Some of the letters on your keyboard are completely worn off. (This has happened to me. With many keyboards.)
4. You would rather write than go out.
5. Your/you're and their/there/they're errors send you into an apoplectic fit. (And make me want to punch the person who committed such a heinous offense.)
6. You get cranky if you don't get to write.
7. You've ever said, "The voices are getting louder; I must go write."
8. When talking with others, you mentally edit their dialogue and compose tags and beats. (Happens all the time.)
9. You've heard/seen something and thought, "I need to write that down." (That happened every single day in high school, community college, and university.)
10. You've ever written a scene, outline, synopsis, or character sketch on a restaurant napkin . . . and it wasn't a paper napkin.
11. You wake up in the middle of the night and scramble for the pen and paper you keep next to your bed to write down a scene to make the voices be quiet so you can get some sleep.
12. You end an argument with your boyfriend/girlfriend by saying, "Oh, wait, I have to write this down – this is the perfect conflict for my characters! Now, repeat what you just yelled." (Yes. Many times.)
13. Getting the scene finished is more important than food, coffee, or the bathroom. (Not more important than coffee.)
14. You have a momentary reality lapse and mention your characters' situation as a prayer request in Sunday school.
15. A blank wall becomes the screen where the scene you're writing takes place right in front of your eyes.
16. The easiest way for you to deal with conflict is to go home and write it into your story.
17. You purposely eavesdrop when out in public. (It's the only reason I do go out in public, haha!)
18. At parties, your method of making conversation is to discover people in the room with interesting occupations (preferably your hero's or heroine's) so you can conduct research.
19. You listen to the writer's commentary on every DVD so that you can analyze his/her writing process.
20. You enjoy reading mostly so you can analyze the author's writing style and use it to work on your own style.
21. You have a favorite line from every movie you've seen.
22. You can't write because you're mad at one of your characters.
23. You argue with said character (and even lose sometimes).
24. You wake up at 3:00AM with an idea for a plot and immediately grab a pencil and paper, and rather than go back to sleep, you stay up the rest of the night fleshing out your plot and developing characters. Then you stay so focused on it that you don't feel your lack of sleep until the following morning. (One of the few things in this list that's never happened to me.)
25. You have a folder on your computer labeled "Ideas." Some of the files within this folder have only one or two words or sentences and while they made perfect sense fifteen years ago, between the software changes in that period of time garbling half the words and your own faulty memory, you have no idea what it means or where you were going with it. But you keep it anyway because you never know, you might remember it eventually. (So true.)
How many of these fit you? 🙂

Earning Station Scam
Website – EarningStation.com
Price- Free to join
Overall Rating 5 out of 10
What is Earning Station
Is earning station scam really a scam? Earning station launched back in 2011, pays it's users to complete surveys, watch videos take polls, and shop. All paid in station dollars to where then you can withdraw them for gift cards of your choice, and they do offer a good variety of them in there.
What to Expect
Like most of survey site's out there do not expect to get rich, and that is something that I always say only because there are a lot of scams out there that try to lure you in on joining or to buy something to make money doing surveys, and that is usually a scam where it is to good to be true. Do not believe any site's that try to tell you that you can make 25 to 50 bucks an hour because that is usually not true, just from my personal experience you will be lucky to make 5- 10 bucks an hour since most surveys pay only 1-3 and take about 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
Pros and Cons of Earning Station and Other Survey Site's
- You can earn with Earning Station
- Lots of different choices between gift cards
- Lost of diffrent way to earn points
- Most surveys little pay so take a a bit to reach your goal
- No option to get money in a check form but there is visa gift card
- Spam like any other survey site
- Do not always qualify for surveys so end result you waste your time.
Ways to Earn Point's
- Shopping
- Surveys
- Watching Videos
- Take shot Polls
- Complete Offers
- Refer others
Who is it for?
It is for anyone who wants to get paid for their time in exchange for gift cards like amazon or other options that they have.
Final Thoughts
Finishing up my post just wanted to say Earning Station is legit but if you read all my other reviews you will find that doing surveys is not going to make you rich but can provide some small spare cash, but do remember you will have to pay, and by that I mean with your time. If you would like to try something different, I would recommend affiliate marketing or starting your own store online. If you would like more info check out my post how to start affiliate business.

The two poems, "Most Like an Arch This Marriage" by John Ciardi and "The Ache Of Marriage" by Denise Levertov depicts marriage as a union if two people based on mutual understanding and respect. Both poems depict that marriage is considered happy and successful when there is great love, mutual respect and understanding between the partners who are together both in bad and good times. Levertov concentrates on pain in marriage and burden. Thesis Both proems depict marriage as a unique based on personal commitment and understanding; still, Levertov underlines such feelings as pain and sufferings while Clardi concentrates on honesty and understanding in marriage.

John Ciardi depicts marriage as a strong unity between two people. "Most like an arch—two weaknesses that lean / into a strength" (Ciardi). There are other characteristics and features to be applied in marriage like improved communication between partners, feeling of responsibility, commitment to the family, honesty toward and admiration of each other, which are usually learnt from the very childhood within the family based on the example of our own parents. Similar to Ciardi, Denise Levertov states that the main goal of a successful marriage is to combine all these characteristics in a harmonious and fulfilling way. The poet writes: "We look for communion / and are turned away, beloved,/each and each" (Levertov). It is possible to achieve a successful marriage due to an open and trusty communication between the partners when there are no secrets and secrecy.Want an expert to write a paper for you Talk to an operator now
Both authors admit that the sensitivity of partners shows how open, tender, sensitive and loving a woman should be in order to comfort all family members and make them feel secured and loved within the family. However, a personality is a combination of unique characteristics with strong adaptability and character o, romanticism and eager for marital relations of spouses. Successful marriage requires a high degree of motivation, involvement and commitment to make it work by devoting required personal time and efforts. That is why, it is very important to consider those demands before the marriage in order to realize whether the person is ready to devote so much time and efforts to another person or not. If the person feels that he/she is not yet ready to make such commitment, it is better to postpone the marriage and give more time to the relations.
The main difference is that Levertov concentrates on pain and sufferings experienced by marriage people while Clardi speaks about positive emotions and communication. "Two joined abeyances become a term / naming the fact that teaches fact to mean" (Ciardi). Clardi says that such devotion should be perceived from three perspectives: commitment to yourself, commitment to each other, and commitment to the relationship of marriage and the family. Certainly, while making such commitment it is important to balance it with the personal autonomy and freedom. commitment to the marriage and family is something sacred between two married people who should cherish and protect their relations from any external negatives forces. Speaking about pain, Levertov underlines that only mutual commitment can make marriage successful, strong and prosperous. Certainly, each marriage presumes certain fulfilment of such individual needs as psychological, social, sexual and material. While it is merely impossible that all the needs of a person are satisfied within the marriage, some needs have to be met apart from the marriage. Moreover, fulfilment of such needs should be mutual. That is why, such fulfilment of needs are most possible if they are within the limits of realistic expectations without selfishness from either side. It is out of question that honesty is one of the main component of the successful relations in marriage since partners should completely trust each other in order to build a new family and make their relations and household strong and prosperous.
In sum, both poems tell that marriage partners should be confident that promises they made will be done, words they gave to each other will be followed, secrets they shared will be secured, etc. If to consider love as the basis of the relations and inspiration for marriage, then respect is the continuation of those relations, when partners are proud of each other's achievements and successes, and respect partner's individuality and personality.

Amongst these, most of the FIRs i.e. eighteen are against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Second on the list is Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) with tewlve FIRs. Eight are against Congress and three against BSP. ECI enforced MCC on 13 January for the February 7 Delhi assembly elections.
Till 15 January only 11 such cases were registered of which seven were against Aam Aadmi Party, two against BJP and one against each Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party.

Wintertime in the Midwest creates unique risks to construction workers from on-the-job injuries. Bad weather creates situations where they're vulnerable to slipping, falling, cold stress, hypothermia, and accidents with equipment. Construction workers rely on their skill and strength to raise skyscrapers, create residential homes, build our roads, and maintain our infrastructure. The nature of their work exposes them to unique dangers. And, the harsh winter cold and climate just adds threats to their well-being.
As an attorney who represents Chicagoland clients in Workers' Compensation claims, I fight for victims every day to gain the benefits they deserve. Since the construction business must keep going, even in the worst Chicago winter, I want to offer some industry supported suggestions that will reduce the likelihood that you will be injured this winter while on a work site.
1) Be Prepared.
Always attend the safety meeting at the start of every shift. It makes you aware of your role, what those around you are doing, and the equipment being used that day.
2) Teamwork.
Working in teams of at least 2 co-workers allows for ongoing monitoring so that individuals can be aware of each other's status. The buddy-system works.
3) Cold and wind shields.
Employers and contractors should provide radiant heaters or shields to protect work areas from Chicago's notorious wind.
4) Breaks.
Frequent short breaks should be scheduled throughout the day to give workers a chance to warm up.
5) Beverages.
Frequent consumption of warm, sweet drinks such as hot chocolate or decaffeinated tea is critical to replenish the body with sugar water or sports drinks. Drinks with caffeine or alcohol should be avoided.
6) Snow Dangers.
Snow and ice should be cleared from walkways and work surfaces to prevent falls. Work should be avoided on rooftops or other elevated surfaces after a snowfall. If it's unavoidable, fall protection equipment and training should be provided.
7) Pace and Protect Yourself.
Slow down. Being in a rush makes you more vulnerable. Recognize that your 'pace' needs to slow-down during winter. Your hands and arms play a critical role in maintaining your balance. Keep them free.
Good footing is critical. Work boots for winter should have soles with non-slip grip for traction, a composite toe for protection from impact (tools and equipment slip more often during the winter), and waterproof and insulated. Numb feat slow your reaction time and lead to falls.
Proper headwear fends off cold and wet conditions. However, be careful of headwear that limits your ability to hear and see. In particular, hoodies – while protecting you from wind and cold – can seriously limit your ability to see dangerous threats and conditions.
Injuries can keep construction workers away from work, bring medical expenses, and create concerns about providing for their family. If you are injured on-the-job, or as a result of someone's negligence, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries.
We Help Chicagoland Construction Workers who become Victims.

But there is an easy workaround. Read on…
I've written a lot recently about the ability to buy American Express gift cards and get cash back through sites like BigCrumbs and TopCashBack. The best deals are usually the highest denomination gift cards since the card fees and shipping charges are then a very small percent of the overall cost. Well, sometime this week, American Express changed their site. It used to be that you could buy their gift cards with denominations up to $3,000. Now, if you start from a cash back portal, the highest denomination you'll see is $500.
Browse directly to American Express:
If you browse directly to American Express gift cards and click on the generic card on the top left, you can select values ranging all the way to $3,000:
Browse via cash back site:
If you start from a cash back site like BigCrumbs, the picture is different. Now the largest denomination available is $500:
Simple Workaround
Currently, there appears to be a very simple workaround to this limit. The trick is to buy a Personalized gift card which can still have a value of up to $3000:
To find the personalized gift card option, scroll all the way to the bottom of the Amex gift card screen and look for the little text saying "Gift Cards":
This technique has the added benefit of allowing you to put your name on the gift card. I haven't tried this technique myself yet, but I've heard from several readers that cash back is awarded for personalized gift cards.

Pumpkin Bread Pudding
Pumpkin bread pudding is a great fall dessert. Leftover bread combines with a pumpkin custard for a luscious way to end a meal!
This is a guest post from my friend Megan, from the blog Stetted. Be sure to check out her blog for more mouthwatering and inspiring recipes.
I'm excited to be sharing another pumpkin recipe with you! If you saw my pumpkin charlotte recipe you already know I'm a huge fan of pumpkin, and have been since before those PSLs came around.
I always keep some pumpkin on hand in the pantry, just in case I get a craving. (Pro tip: Target always has pumpkin on clearance after Thanksgiving, and it has a long shelf life!)
But while I might be craving a nice slice of pie, I don't generally crave making a pie crust. Pie crust and I have a history. Pie crust has made me cry.
So, I allow pie crust into my life every once in while, but I like to look for alternatives to get that pumpkin fix. This time, I knew just what to do, thanks to the leftover loaf of bread on the counter.
Pumpkin bread pudding comes together really easily, and because you have that creaminess already coming from the pumpkin to add to the custard, you don't need to add as much milk or eggs as you would in a regular bread pudding. I'm not going to call this dessert healthy, but it's healthy-er? Healthy-ish? Let's just go with the fact it's delicious.
You can use any bread you like. I used an artisan loaf from Costco, but this would be especially good with challah or even a brioche. Just don't use sliced sandwich bread, please! You need a loaf from the bakery section for this.
Cut the bread as evenly as possible into 1-inch cubes, and make sure you don't leave any pieces uncoated with the custard mixture. The longer you let it rest, the more the bread will soak up the liquid, so this is a perfect dessert to make ahead and leave in the fridge before baking.
If you like, you can top it with a tasty whiskey butter sauce that I like to use for waffles. Or just stick with ice cream or whipped cream!
And, just so you know, pumpkin bread pudding is just as good cold as it is warm. Putting that out there just in case there are leftovers.

Factset, a financial data firm, recently revealed that Nvidia's second and third-quarter revenue will likely increase, according to various analysts. This, despite Nvidia's reportedly declining sales of its graphics-processing units (GPUs) for cryptocurrency mining.
An expected increase in revenue could come from the growing demand for Nvidia's new chips, which are now being used by servers in large data-centers.
The giant chipmaker has also created specialized processors for self-driving vehicles, but it could take some time before their sales make a significant impact on its overall revenue. For now, the majority of Nvidia's earnings may still be attributed to a huge growth in demand for its GPUs in the core gaming market.
Notably, total yearly revenue from Nvidia's gaming graphics cards is projected to be around $1.75 billion, nearly 50% more than the previous year. Meanwhile, the California-based tech company expects its data-center earnings for 2018 to increase by a sizable 78% to $740 million.
C.J. Muse, a senior equity research analyst and managing director at Evercore, stated: "data Center/AI remains an area of strength, particularly when considering additional benefit of a new gaming cycle favoring Nvidia."
Muse noted that concerns regarding declining sales of GPUs in the crypto mining sector were unwarranted. He added:
We believe concerns around a likely falloff from cryptocurrency-driven Ethereum GPU mining strength are largely exaggerated, and Nvidia will likely power through any tough compares from cryptocurrency-driven tailwinds. C.J. Muse
Moreover, nearly 10% of Nvidia's $3.2 billion Q1 revenue reportedly came from the crypto mining industry. Notably, earnings from GPU sales to crypto miners accounted for 76 percent of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) revenue, Nvidia revealed.
While these numbers do represent a 115 percent growth from last quarter, Nvidia expects its crypto market revenue to drop by about two-thirds for Q2 of this year. This may be largely attributed to the declining prices of most cryptocurrencies.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Nvidia's primary competitor, also recently commented on its low revenue from the crypto mining sector. In fact, as reported by CryptoGlobe, the world's largest chip manufacturer is expecting "near zero" revenue from the crypto and blockchain market for the next quarter.
Notably, AMD's CEO Lisa Su referred to blockchain as "a bit of a distraction in the short-term", something that doesn't seem to be discouraging many other electronics companies from developing high-end chips specifically for cryptocurrency mining. Asus, a Taiwanese computer hardware company, said in May that it would be launching a "second-generation" crypto mining motherboard during third quarter 2018.

Teaching Philosophy: "My teaching style is to learn about what style of music you like and to tap into what makes you excited about playing percussion. I create drum charts using notation software and have my students learn to play along with some of their favorite songs (along with songs from my own suggestions). You'll learn various styles and techniques through playing along with these songs, and I also like to touch on topics like song forms and drumming history, so that you get a good sense of where all this information comes from."
Michael Weinfield-Zell is a classical percussion and drum set specialist who recently completed a DMA from Boston University. Before moving to Boston he was the principal percussionist with the Florida Grand Opera in Miami for two seasons and before that, timpanist and percussionist for two seasons with the Honolulu (now Hawaii) Symphony. He studied with Robert van Sice at Peabody for his undergraduate degree and again at Yale where he completed an MM and artist diploma. At BU he studied with Tim Genis. He has been teaching with Note-worthy Experiences since March 2019.

They are medium-sized ranging from 7.5-15 inches in length, depending on the species and individual. They tend to prefer higher elevation areas with dense vegetation for enough feeding.
Mountain Horned Dragon Care
It is quite tricky to build the captivity without creating a dank, moldy environment, to provide the daily mist with ventilation to evaporate the moisture constantly. Keep a mist bottle to keep clean water next to the cage and use it every time you see your lizard. The failure of this may cause skin shedding problems or dehydration.
Mountain Horned Dragon Facts

Traveling on a US cruise ship in Europe. Do I tip in euros or US dollars?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – On a recent weekend in Orlando, Florida State's cheerleading teams and Golden Girls dance team stepped off of the sidelines and into the spotlight for three days of competition at the Universal Cheerleaders Association's national championships at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
After several rounds of stunts, pyramids, baskets and turns, each team emerged with improved results – some of which reached heights not seen at FSU in several years – as well as a drive to go even higher in the future.
The Golden Girls finished third nationally in the Jazz category, a six-spot improvement from a year ago, while all-girl cheerleading placed 11th (up from 12th) and co-ed 20th.
"We have made, in my eyes, amazing progress," said Bonde Johnson, a junior co-ed cheerleader from Ledyard, Conn. "The skills we've developed as a team, they're something that, my first year, I wouldn't even have imagined. We've come a long way."
Same goes for the Golden Girls, who entered the competition looking to reclaim their place as one of the nation's preeminent dance teams.
The Golden Girls spent much of the late 2000s hovering near the top of the national rankings, but, by the time senior Abbey Lacaillade arrived as a freshman in 2014, felt they were in need of a rebuild.
That turnaround began at last year's national championships, when the Golden Girls finished ninth in the country and, more importantly, built a renewed confidence for the year ahead.
They entered this year's competition hoping for a top-five finish. But after the semifinal round, they found themselves fourth – and only one-tenth of a point behind third-place Arizona State.
At that point, their goal changed. Quickly.
"We were saying, 'Let's get fifth.' That's all we wanted was fifth," Lacaillade said. "Then after semis, we were like, 'OK, all we want is third.'
"We were so hungry for third. We could taste it."
According to the judges, hunger, passion and intensity were the only things lacking from an otherwise challenging routine.
Safe to say that wasn't an issue during finals. And the difference was reflected in two photos – one from the end of the semifinal dance, and the other from the final.
"Our faces are so much more intense in the finals," Lacaillade said with a laugh. "Because we just wanted it, and you could tell."
They got it.
Florida State finished third, behind only Ohio State and Minnesota.
"To be on both ends of the spectrum is very rewarding," Lacaillade said. "And to have a chance to lead this team this year has been the greatest experience, to see the rise in the program."
For FSU's cheerleaders, meanwhile, the competition was the culmination of several weeks of practices – including time away from friends and family over Christmas break.
The Seminoles were graded on their technical and physical prowess, as well as perhaps the most integral aspect of their sport: leading a crowd in cheers.
And, like the Golden Girls, the cheerleaders can track their progress over the years. When junior Ali Goldberg made her first trip to nationals with FSU cheer, the Seminoles didn't place at all. They jumped up to 12th a year ago and 11th in 2018, an achievement that sounds modest but that also hides the change in the program's culture.
For instance: When the all-girls squad placed 12th last year, they were thrilled to have just landed in the finals.
A year later, the Seminoles took another step up in the final standings, but this time left with the nagging feeling that they could have done even better.
"This year we had the potential to stay in the top three, and we just didn't execute it," Goldberg said. "We could have done it, but some things went wrong."
A lot more went right, though.
Johnson said that the collegiate cheering world is often divided into two categories: "Gameday schools" – think football games and pom poms – and "competition schools," the kind that win championships.
Schools are often good at one or the other, but it's rare to be among the best in both.
Johnson believes that, after their latest trip to nationals, the Seminoles can say that they are an exception to that rule.
"I think that we're both," he said. "We're a good mixture of both."
Added Goldberg: "We spend a lot of time cheering on other sports, which is our main priority. But this one weekend, we get to just focus on us and what we're best at and what we've been working on all our lives."

Home Bargains Wrexham
Wrexham was our first Home Bargains, and we are extremely proud of the outcome. This job included the use of access equipment such as a cherry picker (see photo below) and this was no problem as our operatives are fully Health & Safety compliant.
The weather was not always on our side – as it rarely ever is when undertaking external decorations, however we worked around the weather and still delivered the result that was expected of us. This project took a little over two weeks to complete both internal and external decorations.
Since Wrexham, we have secured two more Home Bargains projects – Home Bargains White City (Manchester) and Home Bargains Wantage (Oxford).

No Melbourne or Sydney.
It should be mentioned that:
* Candle Lighting times shown are 20 minutes before sunset.
* Shabbat Ends times given are 45 minutes after sunset.
Because of the Mitzvah of "Tosafot Shabbat" (adding to the Sabbath), everyone is encouraged to cease "work", light the candles, and start the Shabbat earlier than shown; also, not make Havdalah and resume "work" until a time later than given.
In fact, it is customary in many communities to wait with Havdalah and "work" until at least 72 minutes after sunset. Accordingly one would not end the Shabbat till at least 27 minutes after the times given here.
Thank you Matzav editor! A most valued addition to your other Shabbos posts. Perhaps you ought leave out the end time of Shabbos!
#2, the posted zmanim are 18 minutes before Shkiah! Most of Klaal Yiroel keep that zman!
No wonder everyone is flying down to Miami. You have so much more time on Erev Shabbos. Go Dolphins!

Super, for sure. Except for the first episodes, which were basically a retreat of the DBS movies, the last 3 sagas were pretty enjoyable. And it's constantly improving. Pace is also pretty good generally speaking. I think it finds a balance between Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. It mixes more epic, serious moments but knows how to retain humour and a sense of adventure. Also, I really like that...

Making sure no one is forgotten in the response to Typhoon Haiyan
Development and Peace, August 28, 2014 — The fierceness of Typhoon Haiyan can be easily seen from the road that winds along the coast of Eastern Samar (Philippines). Every few hundred metres, out of the billowing coconut trees, another town of ramshackle houses appears, the tarps that serve as roofs flapping in the wind. With so much devastation around, it is easy to lose sight of what is beyond the palm trees.
Many of the mountainside communities here were left behind by relief and reconstruction efforts. Although not touched by the sea during the typhoon, these communities were not spared the effects of the 320 kilometre per hour winds that bore down on the island.

There's a red red rain
falling on our heads,
religious radiation
circling free thinking's bed.
Note the rickety nature of its wheel,
that delusional shit you think you feel,
personal illusion takes reality's place,
delivering unrighteous hatred
for every other face.
It singes all around us,
infecting every home,
mutation in mass numbers,
an evolution on its own.
Deforming minds of every kind,
squeezing science as it goes,
killing this one, that one, all in the name
of the god they choose to know.
There's a red red rain
falling on our heads,
ceremonial human fallout
leaving grey matter dead.

Blood, and destruction, leaving only ashes all around.

I think that this is a very good write, it scurries amongst the feelings that we have of mistrust and inability to correct things.
We just have to accept most things as they are but this piece tells it as it is, Yours Ian.T

It's always a pleasure to read free verse which unashamedly uses a lot of the poetic devices of traditional poetry like this one does. It is my personal opinion that the main problems with religions are caused by authority figures in the religions demanding that others all must have the exact same ideas as they hold. So you wind up with mullahs, ministers and priests condemning all other religions and in some instances calling for violence to be inflicted on "non-believers".......what a waste, what a sin. ..............stan

Hi Richards
Much has been commented by others on this poem and agree with those made by Stan & Gee. One can sense what could have inspired you to write this which I guess stems from what religious heads mislead the masses with twisted beliefs in the name of God which is sad...

You made me think
Your first stanza is powerfully written and made me stop to think about my views on religion. I consider myself to be spiritual but not religious. I've always believed that religions are the cause of most of the trouble in our world today, as well as in the past. Fortunately growing up, it wasn't 'shoved down my throat' so to speak, so I was allowed to formulate my own beliefs. My dad was funny about it. He said that because Jesus was Jewish, everyone was Jewish. In order for there to be peace in the world, people feeling united, the only way it could/can happen, which I doubt it ever will, is for all of us to realize no one is better than anyone else, and we all have a place here. But unfortunately that's an idealistic point of view, and there are too many religious leaders out there ready to infiltrate peoples minds with their beliefs and threatening to harm those who don't go along. The thing that has never made any sense to me is that if in fact there's supposedly one God, then shouldn't He be the common bond between everyone?
As you can tell your poem hit me in a strong way, which is the reason for this rambling review.
Best wishes,

Read it once through to get an emotional base for the poem. Your use of words is powerful, but the theme is absolutely riveting. More and more of us feel this way. Religion has for the most part become a paranoia infected obsession. Not a means of worshiping our/the higher power. Loved the poem it was strong and unyielding!! That's my take on it!!

hello Richard,
as you probably know, I am anti-religion having suffered religious abuse at the hands of my Grandmother, when I lived with her as a child. the church doesn't want any free thinkers. so I was constantly in trouble! these are my favorite lines:

The collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory in Bangladesh in April 2013 shocked the world. The building had been illegally extended and on 24 April the whole thing collapsed; 1,138 garment workers lost their lives and hundreds more were left with injuries that rendered them incapable of returning to work.
The date of the incident has now become Fashion Revolution Day, the centrepoint of a new movement to end exploitation in the fashion industry. The Fashion Revolution campaign seeks to raise consumer awareness, using the social media hashtag #WhoMadeMyClothes. Three years after its inception, Fashion Revolution is growing – determined to ensure garment workers' rights stay on the agenda.
Each year, Manchester's Stitched Up Cooperative marks Fashion Revolution Day. This year, we held three events: a double-bill film screening and panel discussion, a clothes swap and an ethical fashion show.
The film event, held in partnership with the Resyntex textile recycling project at Manchester Metropolitan University, involved two films focused on very different aspects of the fashion industry. The Secret Life of Your Clothes examines what happens to the clothes we donate to charity shops, and follows a bale of clothing as it's exported to Ghana. Clothes to Die For tells the stories of several survivors of the Rana Plaza factory collapse, all of whom face ongoing struggles as a result of the incident, including inability to work and lasting psychological trauma.
We had a full house and a lively discussion after the films, with many people eager to find out what they could do to help. We feel it's vital to offer ideas for practical action alongside awareness-raising – the key is channelling this positive energy and encouraging people to act.
That's why Stitched Up is currently working on a number of projects to encourage people to become actively involved in creating a fairer fashion industry. Having previously worked with Labour Behind the Label, we are establishing a regular discussion group for individuals wanting to learn more about the issues facing garment workers and campaigning for change. In May, the group participated in the Clean Clothes Campaign's global day of action against H&M. The actions sought to hold the retailer to the promises it had made under the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh in the wake of the Rana Plaza incident – things such as ensuring factory fire escape routes were clear and doors kept unlocked. Forty-five demonstrations took place across eleven countries and the day received coverage in the press and social media worldwide.
Stitched Up also organises alternative fashion shows, seeking to democratise fashion by showcasing clothes from local, sustainable designers, modelled by real people from our community. Shoppers view the clothes up close and gain an insight into the design and production processes by speaking directly to the designers.
Our other activities include teaching clothes making, mending and upcycling workshops, hosting regular clothes swaps, selling sustainable fabrics via our reclaimed haberdashery and holding educational events for the local community such as film screenings and speakers. We've also set up a monthly Manchester Repair Cafe, where visitors can get help fixing broken household items.
We'd be delighted to hear from anyone in or near Manchester who'd like to get involved. And wherever you are in the world, we'd urge you to check out the Fashion Revolution website – it's a global movement that's growing by the day, so there's bound to be something happening near you.
Stitched Up is an ethical fashion cooperative based in Chorlton, Manchester. www.stitchedup.coop @stitchedupuk www.fashionrevolution.org

I'm Not Hanging Noodles on your Ears
My friend Julia Suits, New Yorker cartoonist, just sent me a copy of this book by Jag Bhalla, of which she is the illustrator. I don't know if Julia knows of my fascination with linguistic curiosities but this is right up my browsing alley. It is a delightful book, all about idioms from other cultures. I recall one of my favorite browsing books, Howard Rheingold's They Have a Word for It, about untranslatable concepts other cultures embody in native words. Bhalla turned my head when he pointed out in the introduction to the present volume that idioms are essentially expressions that are untranslatable in their own language!
And Suits' wonderful illustrations, with their absurd and at times surreal literality, are perfect amplifications of the incongruity Bhalla sets out to depict.

Some may fear this word
'A Language Log reader named metanea points out to us that the Urban Dictionary claims aibohphobia is a technical term for the irrational fear of palindromicity. The etymology will raise a smile. Just stare at the word for a few seconds, and it will reveal itself to you…' (Language Log)
The linguistic construction of pedagogical institutions carries with it the engendering of history as such
Hours—nay, days—of fun can be had with the University of Chicago's Make Your Own Academic Sentence widget. You select four theoretical terms from a pull-down menu, it generates a delightfully meaningless string of words. One of mine appears in the title. That's right: read it and (try not to) weep.

Thinking literally
The surprising ways that metaphors shape your world: "Drawing on philosophy and linguistics, cognitive scientists have begun to see the basic metaphors that we use all the time not just as turns of phrase, but as keys to the structure of thought. By taking these everyday metaphors as literally as possible, psychologists are upending traditional ideas of how we learn, reason, and make sense of the world around us. The result has been a torrent of research testing the links between metaphors and their physical roots, with many of the papers reading as if they were commissioned by Amelia Bedelia, the implacably literal-minded children's book hero. Researchers have sought to determine whether the temperature of an object in someone's hands determines how "warm" or "cold" he considers a person he meets, whether the heft of a held object affects how "weighty" people consider topics they are presented with, or whether people think of the powerful as physically more elevated than the less powerful."

Discerning the Difference Between Various Types of Residences
It may be helpful for homeowners to analyze the actual terms they pick up pertaining to the sorts of homes which are currently available. As an example, you'll find three principal kinds of homes available today: manufacturing homes, custom homes, as well as semi-custom homes. Do you know the variations relating to the three?
Construction Residences
Sometimes, entire neighborhoods get repeated, a place a road over, or perhaps in the following city as time goes on. These kind of developments have the same 2-3 residence designs in them all. They are referred to as construction households. These kinds of local communities are usually speculative undertakings on the part of significant building contractors. They don't supply a lot of range, yet are an inexpensive method for very first time buyers to develop themselves as homeowners.
Customized Properties
Usually a new mutual venture between the house purchaser, a custom home builder, as well as an architect. The particular home buyer frequently determines a good plan through a amount presented from the creator or perhaps builder, and also asks for it to become modified pertaining to his own specific needs. Instead, the buyer provides his own blueprint, or otherwise his or her suggestions about what he or she would like the property to look, and also the builder as well as custom home builders team up to achieve it in ways that can be structurally sound and meets code. Usually, when individuals discuss of constructing their particular "dream" house, they are referring to a custom home they built.
Semi-Custom Households
These types of households originated probably having a more compact home construction firm. The house might result from some custom plans that are frequently recycled on the residence by property base in numerous places. When the constructor would like, these types of blueprints could be transformed to change the size of bedrooms, increase or even subtract suites, help make alterations to the inner surface, plus, customize the details of your finishing touches. Rooms inside semi-custom homes are usually put in as well as removed before the abode being complete. It is crucial any time changing home blueprints to be cautious to be able to look at the cost of each and every sought after change. Generally speaking, the greater modifications there are with a floor plan, the greater number of the costs for the abode climb. If money is considered, make sure to restrict yourself simply to those alterations a person most need.

The Environmental Protection Agency administrator, Scott Pruitt, is under increasing pressure over a rental arrangement he had with a leading energy sector lobbyist.
Leading opposition figures went on the offensive on Sunday, the Democratic Alabama senator Doug Jones saying Pruitt was in "real trouble" and "may be on his way out" over the deal, which was first reported by ABC, Bloomberg and the Associated Press.
The Vermont independent Bernie Sanders said the former attorney general of Oklahoma was "nothing more than a frontman for the fossil fuel industry" and should appear before the Senate environment committee.
Pruitt was already one of a number of Trump appointees dogged by controversy over the use of public money for travel and other expenses. Nonetheless, as a professed climate science skeptic he has thrived in the Trump administration, slashing environmental regulations often established under Barack Obama.
It has been reported that Pruitt covets the post of attorney general should Jeff Sessions, out of favour over his recusal from the investigation into Russian election meddling and potential collusion between Trump aides and Moscow, become another cabinet member to be fired.
Over about six months in 2017, the AP reported this week, Pruitt paid $50 a night to stay in a Capitol Hill condominium in which three units belong to a corporation co-owned by the wife of J Steven Hart, chair and chief executive of lobbying firm Williams and Jensen.
Pruitt's daughter also stayed in the condo's second bedroom for three months last summer, according to ABC.
The firm's clients include Exxon Mobil and liquefied natural gas exporter Cheniere Energy, both with billions at stake in decisions over which Pruitt presides. At least once while renting the room, Pruitt met a lobbyist from Hart's firm at the EPA.
A $50-per-night rate is significantly lower than most rentals on Capitol Hill. One-bedroom apartments range between $1,600 and $2,500 a month. Single rooms for one-night rentals average about $120. An EPA ethics lawyer told the AP Pruitt paid only for nights he occupied the room, totaling about $6,000.
Interviewed on ABC's This Week, Jones said: "I think he's in real trouble, the perception is not good at all. The fact he has had controversy with expenses … is one of the things I think people are just frustrated with, with cabinet members who seem to want to use taxpayer dollars to fund their own personal lifestyle.
"And now on top of this, not just the $50 but the fact it was going to an energy lobbyist, it just looks so bad and I think he may be on his way out."
On CBS's Face the Nation, Sanders said: "You got a guy who's head of the EPA now who is nothing more than a frontman for the fossil fuel industry, and that is a very serious problem and the Congress has got to stand up and oppose that line of policy."
Also on ABC, the former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a leading Trump supporter, said he did not know how Pruitt could keep his job.
"If Mr Pruitt is going to go," Christie said, "it's because he should've never been there in the first place."
Christie criticised the work of Trump's transition team after he was removed as its leader. "This was a brutally unprofessional transition," he said. "This was a transition that didn't vet people for this type of judgment issues."
Other Trump appointees to have attracted controversy over spending include the housing and urban development secretary, Ben Carson, and interior secretary, Ryan Zinke. The health secretary, Tom Price, resigned in September, over his use of public money for flights. The veterans affairs secretary, David Shulkin, who faced controversy over travel taken with his wife but opposed privatisation of his department, left his job this week. The White House said Shulkin resigned. Shulkin said he was fired.
On Thursday, Hart said Pruitt was a casual friend from Oklahoma. He had no contact with Pruitt for months, Hart said, other than a brief exchange at the National Prayer Breakfast in February.
The lease was "market-based, short-term", Hart said, adding that the condo was partly owned by his wife, who he said had not lobbied the EPA. Vicki Hart is a lobbyist focusing on healthcare issues.

From the moment they take their first step into adoption, adoptive parents are faced with unique challenges:
Attachment challenges
Attachment is an emotional connection between a child and a caregiver that is neurologically and biologically driven. Adopted children have experienced several broken or inappropriate attachments with significant people in their lives. This history of loss makes it difficult for children from hard places to fully trust and feel safe with their new forever adoptive family.
Children in foster care have been removed from the care of their biological parents due to abuse, neglect or abandonment. Unfortunately, the trauma of the past is packed up along with clothes, stuffed animals and toiletries and carried into the new adoptive home. Most adopted children continue to struggle with trauma symptoms after they are adopted. Post-Adoption trauma therapy can be extremely helpful in allowing children to heal from their trauma with the aid of their supportive forever family.
Overcoming developmental delays
Childhood trauma affects physical, emotional, social and psychological development. When a child is experiencing abuse, all of the body and brain's resources move toward survival, thus neglecting the tasks of "normal" childhood development.
Connections with biological family
It is very normal for adoptive children to have questions about their biological family. Why was I removed? Where is my mom? Can I ever see my grandpa again? Furthermore, social media has greatly increased a child's access to information regarding their biological and extended family. It can be difficult to determine which biological connections are healthy and which are harmful to your child's well-being.
These matters are tough. Navigating the way to help shouldn't be.
CHS offers coaches and tips to act as guides all the way through your adoption journey. We offer support groups, individual and family counseling in-person or over-the-phone to help families overcome these adoptions hurdles. We can start wherever you are in your adoptions process – to meet you where you need us.
No parent, child or family should feel alone in their struggles to find the right available care for their family. Call your local office to take the next step on your bridge to success.

Antoon en Thomas van de Veegaete
Driver trainers at DAF Belgium
"The XF proved to be a loyal companion"
DAF recently organized an event in southern Spain to introduce clients and journalists to DAF's broad construction vehicle program. Afterwards, the thirteen trucks had to be returned to Eindhoven, where the DAF headquarters are located. Father and son Antoon and Thomas van de Veegaete (both driver trainers at DAF Belgium) were two of the lucky ones who were each allowed to drive a DAF back.
"We have completed the trip in three days," says Antoon. "The XF proved to be a loyal companion. The weather was bad, the nights were cold. But the park heater and the heated seats kept us nice and warm."
Once back in Eindhoven, Antoon and Thomas were satisfied that the 2,233 km took just under 30 (driving) hours. "The tractor needed 22.5 liters / 100km for this, the slightly less streamlined FAS 25.1 liters," said a satisfied Antoon. "So both were very economical. The XF is a heck of a truck and a pleasure to be on the road with - but we already knew that. But above all respect for the men and women who do this for their profession and ensure that everything keeps on turning: their wheels and the economy. "

John Benedict Santos – ESL Teacher
I was born in the Philippine Islands in the year of '84. I grew up in a small family of 5. I have two older siblings who taught me a lot about living.
Back as a teenager, I began working part time on summer vacations. Then after I finished high school, I worked in a video rental shop, which I ran for more than 3 months. There I learned many things; getting to know other people, interacting and conversing with them, gaining an insight into my client's different characteristics.
I continued my studies in college as a Computer Technologist but had to stop due to some difficulties… and suddenly became a young father at 20 years of age. Now I had to concentrate more on bringing up my family and working in different fields to build a career. I first worked as a merchandiser, then I went into sales where I developed my selling skills.
After a few more different fields I got to apply as an English Language Teacher and stayed for 2 years in this profession. I enjoyed communicating with my students as most of them where professionals. Not only did I teach them, they also taught me useful lessons.
Working gave me a lot of new skills that I developed and shared with others. I learn quickly and I am proactive – using assorted methods to perform my job and satisfy my clients.
Thanks for taking your time in getting to know me a bit. I hope I get to work with your team in the future.

Sheetbend & Halyard Accepting the Contract with the U.S. Navy
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
See attached file.
Jack Tar, CFO of Sheetbend & Halyard, Inc. opened the company confidential envelope. It contained a draft of a competitive bid for a contract to supply duffel canvas to the U.S. Navy. The cover memo from Sheetbend´s CEO asked Mr. Tar to review the bid before it was submitted.
The bid and its supporting documents had been prepared by Sheetbend´s sales staff. It called for Sheet bend to supply 100,000 yards of duffel canvas per year for 5 years. The proposed selling price was fixed at $30 per yard.
Mr. Tar was not usually involved in sales, but this bid was unusual in at least two respects. First, if accepted by the Navy, it would commit Sheet bend to a fixed-price, long-term contract. Second, producing the duffel canvas would require an investment of 1.5 million to purchase machinery and to refurbish Sheetbend's plant in Pleasantboro, Maine.
Mr. Tar set to work and by the end of the week had collected the following facts and assumptions:
The plant in Pleasantboro had been built in the early 1900s and is now idle. The plant was fully depreciated on Sheetbend´s books except for the purchase cost of the land (in 1947) of $10 000.
Now that the land was valuable shorefront property. Mr. Tar thought the land and the idle plant could be sold, immediately or in the near future, for $600,000.
Refurbishing the plant would cost $500,000. This investment would be depreciated for tax purposes on the 10 year MACRS schedule.
The new machinery would cost $1 million. This investment could be depreciated on the 5 year MACRS schedule.
The refurbished plant and new machinery would last for many years. However, the remaining market for duffel canvas vas small, and it was not clear that additional orders could be obtained once the navy contract was finished. The machinery was custom-build and could be used only for duffel canvas. Its secondhand value at the end of 5 years was probably zero.
Table show the sales staff`s forecast of income from the navy contract. Mr. Tar reviewed this forecast and decided that its assumptions were reasonable, except that the forecast used book, not tax depreciation.
But the forecast income statement contained no mention of working capital. Mr. Tar thought that working capital would average about 10% sales.
Armed with this information, Mr. Tar constructed a spreadsheet to calculate the NPV of the duffel canvas project, assuming that Sheetbend's bid would be accepted by the navy.
He had just finished debugging the spreadsheet when another confidential envelope arrived form Sheetbend`s CEO. It contained a firm offer from a Maui real estate developer to purchase Sheetbend`s Pleasantboro land and plant for $1.5 million in cash.
Should Mr. Tar recommend submitting the bid to the navy at the propose price of $30 per yard? The discount rate for this project is 12%.
1. Yards sold and price per yard would be fixed by contract.
2. Cost of goods includes fixed cost of $300,000 per year plus variables cost of $18 per yard. Costs are expected to increase at the inflation rate of 4% per year
3. Depreciation: A $1 million investment in machinery la depreciated straight-line over 5 years $200,000 per year. The $500,000 cost of refurbishing the Pleasantboro plants is depreciated straight-line over 10 years $50,000 per year.
Must first take into account the table on page 282 to build and calculate present values.
Once you have it in Excel should calculate MACRS depreciation for the percentage for each of the 5 years and replace the one that comes in the table above.
Calculate the depreciation of machinery and plant separately. Once you get the new MACRS depreciation calculated the result will be net income.
Following this step will get the cash flow from operations is calculated by subtracting total operating cash flow chart indicating the less the recalculation of tax of 35%.
Now here we have the operating cash flow and we need to get the total cash flow for the year 5 for this, consider the following:
When the project is closed after five years, the plant and machinery will be useless. But it will not be fully depreciated. The tax loss for each of them is equal to book value and market price of each asset is zero. Therefore, it is the same tax savings in year 5.
Investment in working capital equivalent to $ 300,000 initially, (10% of sales) but in year 5, when the project closes, the investment in working capital is recovered. If the project goes ahead, the land cannot be sold until the end of year 5. If the land is sold for $ 600,000 (as Mr. Tar revenue can be), the taxable gain on the sale is $ 590,000, since the land has a book value of $ 10,000.
With this information and can calculate the cash flow considering the sale of land tax rate of 35%. Also add all the depreciation of machinery and plant and calculate the tax of 35% as well.
Since this information can get the total cash flow.
The following is to calculate the present value of cash flow considering a discount rate of 12%.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com June 4, 2020, 1:58 am ad1c9bdddf
Solution Summary
The solution discuses if Sheetbend and Halyard should accept the contract with the U.S. Navy.

I must admit I'm not always a fan of some of the clothes but this time was the epiphany of chic. There was pink tweed jackets, matching sarong, cycling shorts, gold vintage 80's belts and their iconic bags, but holding one isn't good enough two or more was the way to go. Shoulder pads were oversized, Chanel logo necklace was double in size as well as the straw hats. It was a French Rivera beach party and I want to be part of the whole collection.
