Africa :: BENIN
Introduction :: BENIN
Present day Benin was the site of Dahomey, a West African kingdom that rose to prominence in about 1600 and over the next two and a half centuries became a regional power, largely based on its slave trade. Coastal areas of Dahomey began to be controlled by the French in the second half of the 19th century; the entire kingdom was conquered by 1894. French Dahomey achieved independence in 1960; it changed its name to the Republic of Benin in 1975.A succession of military governments ended in 1972 with the rise to power of Mathieu KEREKOU and the establishment of a government based on Marxist-Leninist principles. A move to representative government began in 1989. Two years later, free elections ushered in former Prime Minister Nicephore SOGLO as president, marking the first successful transfer of power in Africa from a dictatorship to a democracy. KEREKOU was returned to power by elections held in 1996 and 2001, though some irregularities were alleged. KEREKOU stepped down at the end of his second term in 2006 and was succeeded by Thomas YAYI Boni, a political outsider and independent, who won a second five-year term in March 2011. Patrice TALON, a wealthy businessman, took office in 2016 after campaigning to restore public confidence in the government.

Benin's total fertility has been falling over time but remains high, declining from almost 7 children per women in 1990 to 4.8 in 2016. Benin's low contraceptive use and high unmet need for contraception contribute to the sustained high fertility rate. Although the majority of Beninese women use skilled health care personnel for antenatal care and delivery, the high rate of maternal mortality indicates the need for more access to high quality obstetric care.Poverty, unemployment, increased living costs, and dwindling resources increasingly drive the Beninese to migrate. An estimated 4.4 million, more than 40%, of Beninese live abroad. Virtually all Beninese emigrants move to West African countries, particularly Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire. Of the less than 1% of Beninese emigrants who settle in Europe, the vast majority live in France, Benin's former colonial ruler.With about 40% of the population living below the poverty line, many desperate parents resort to sending their children to work in wealthy households as domestic servants (a common practice known as vidomegon), mines, quarries, or agriculture domestically or in Nigeria and other neighboring countries, often under brutal conditions. Unlike in other West African countries, where rural people move to the coast, farmers from Benin's densely populated southern and northwestern regions move to the historically sparsely populated central region to pursue agriculture. Immigrants from West African countries came to Benin in increasing numbers between 1992 and 2002 because of its political stability and porous borders.0-14 years: 43.04% (male 2,358,838/female 2,264,204)15-24 years: 20.32% (male 1,110,607/female 1,072,196)25-54 years: 30.24% (male 1,641,547/female 1,606,185)55-64 years: 3.56% (male 165,496/female 217,192)65 years and over: 2.84% (male 120,629/female 184,564) (2016 est.)total dependency ratio: 82youth dependency ratio: 76.7elderly dependency ratio: 5.3potential support ratio: 19 (2015 est.)total: 18 yearsmale: 17.7 yearsfemale: 18.4 years (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 2152.75% (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 1335.5 births/1,000 population (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 198 deaths/1,000 population (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 970 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 76urban population: 44% of total population (2015)rate of urbanization: 3.67% annual rate of change (2010-15 est.)PORTO-NOVO (capital) 268,000 (2014); COTONOU (seat of government) 682,000; Abomey-Calavi 757,000 (2015)at birth: 1.05 male(s)/female0-14 years: 1.04 male(s)/female15-24 years: 1.04 male(s)/female25-54 years: 1.02 male(s)/female55-64 years: 0.76 male(s)/female65 years and over: 0.66 male(s)/femaletotal population: 1.01 male(s)/female (2016 est.)20.3 yearsnote: median age at first birth among women 25-29 (2011/12 est.)405 deaths/100,000 live births (2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 34total: 54.2 deaths/1,000 live birthsmale: 57.3 deaths/1,000 live birthsfemale: 51 deaths/1,000 live births (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 25total population: 61.9 yearsmale: 60.5 yearsfemale: 63.3 years (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 1954.86 children born/woman (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 1617.9% (2014)4.6% of GDP (2014)country comparison to the world: 1540.15 physicians/1,000 population (2013)0.5 beds/1,000 population (2010)improved:urban: 85.2% of populationrural: 72.1% of populationtotal: 77.9% of populationunimproved:urban: 14.8% of populationrural: 27.9% of populationtotal: 22.1% of population (2015 est.)improved:urban: 35.6% of populationrural: 7.3% of populationtotal: 19.7% of populationunimproved:urban: 64.4% of populationrural: 92.7% of populationtotal: 80.3% of population (2015 est.)1% (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 4367,000 (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 502,400 (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 49degree of risk: very highfood or waterborne diseases: bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, hepatitis A, and typhoid fevervectorborne diseases: dengue fever, malaria, and yellow feverrespiratory disease: meningococcal meningitisanimal contact disease: rabies (2016)8.1% (2014)country comparison to the world: 15118% (2014)country comparison to the world: 304.3% of GDP (2014)country comparison to the world: 64definition: age 15 and over can read and writetotal population: 38.4%male: 49.9%female: 27.3% (2015 est.)total: 12 yearsmale: 14 yearsfemale: 11 years (2013)total number: 1,020,981percentage: 46% (2006 est.)total: 2.4%male: 1.5%female: 3.1% (2010 est.)

Economy :: BENIN
The free market economy of Benin has grown consecutively for three years, averaging about 5% annually since 2014, but its close trade links to Nigeria expose Benin to risks from volatile commodity prices. Cotton is a key export commodity; high prices supported export earnings, but prices have fallen. Inflation has subsided and remains just 1% over the past several years.During the first 6 months of President TALON's administration, electrical supply, which has hampered Benin's economic growth, increased and blackouts have been reduced. Private foreign direct investment is small, and foreign aid accounts for the majority of investment in infrastructure projects.Benin's 2001 privatization policy continues in telecommunications, water, electricity, and agriculture. Benin has appealed for international assistance to mitigate piracy against commercial shipping in its territory. Pilferage has significantly dropped as the Port of Cotonou is still making progress towards implementing the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code in an effort to remain competitive. Projects included in Benin's $307 million Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact (2006-11) were designed to increase investment and private sector activity by improving key institutional and physical infrastructure. The four projects focused on access to land, access to financial services, access to justice, and access to markets (including modernization of the port). The Port of Cotonou is the largest component of Benin's economy with revenues projected to account for more than 40% of Benin's national budget.Realizing its economic potential requires further efforts to infrastructure upgrades, stemming corruption, and expanding access to foreign markets in Nigeria and neighboring landlocked countries. In September 2015, Benin signed a MCC second Compact for $375 million that is designed to strengthen the national utility service provider, attract private sector investment, fund infrastructure investments in electricity generation and distribution, and develop off-grid electrification for poor and unserved households. In order to raise growth, Benin plans to attract more foreign investment, place more emphasis on tourism, facilitate the development of new food processing systems and agricultural products, encourage new information and communication technology, and establish Independent Power Producers (IPP).$24.31 billion (2016 est.)$23.24 billion (2015 est.)$22.14 billion (2014 est.)note: data are in 2016 dollarscountry comparison to the world: 140$8.93 billion (2016 est.)4.6% (2016 est.)5% (2015 est.)6.5% (2014 est.)country comparison to the world: 46$2,200 (2016 est.)$2,100 (2015 est.)$2,100 (2014 est.)note: data are in 2016 dollarscountry comparison to the world: 20216.3% of GDP (2016 est.)16.7% of GDP (2015 est.)16.3% of GDP (2014 est.)country comparison to the world: 111household consumption: 68%government consumption: 14.2%investment in fixed capital: 26.3%investment in inventories: 0.5%exports of goods and services: 24.3%imports of goods and services: -33.3% (2016 est.)agriculture: 22.9%industry: 24.9%services: 52.2% (2016 est.)cotton, corn, cassava (manioc, tapioca), yams, beans, palm oil, peanuts, cashews; livestocktextiles, food processing, construction materials, cement4.2% (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 503.662 million (2007 est.)country comparison to the world: 96NA%36.2% (2011 est.)lowest 10%: 3.1%highest 10%: 29% (2003)36.5 (2003)country comparison to the world: 86revenues: $1.5 billionexpenditures: $1.939 billion (2016 est.)16.8% of GDP (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 173-4.9% of GDP (2016 est.)country comparison to the world: 15840.2% of GDP (2016 est.)37.4% of GDP (2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 123calendar year1% (2016 est.)0.3% (2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 704.25% (31 December 2010)4.25% (31 December 2009)country comparison to the world: 90NA%$2.215 billion (31 December 2016 est.)$2.172 billion (31 December 2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 126$4.165 billion (31 December 2014 est.)$3.61 billion (31 December 2013 est.)country comparison to the world: 137$1.639 billion (31 December 2016 est.)$1.631 billion (31 December 2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 149$NA-$615 million (2016 est.)-$697 million (2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 107$1.713 billion (2016 est.)$1.841 billion (2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 142cotton, cashews, shea butter, textiles, palm products, seafoodIndia 25.1%, Gabon 14.4%, China 7.1%, Niger 5.9%, Bangladesh 4.9%, Nigeria 4.8%, Vietnam 4.2% (2015)$2.591 billion (2016 est.)$2.727 billion (2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 150foodstuffs, capital goods, petroleum productsChina 42.2%, US 8.9%, India 5.7%, Malaysia 4.8%, Thailand 4.3%, France 4% (2015)$645.5 million (31 December 2016 est.)$731.6 million (31 December 2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 136$2.34 billion (31 December 2016 est.)$2.115 billion (31 December 2015 est.)country comparison to the world: 147Communaute Financiere Africaine francs (XOF) per US dollar -605.7 (2016 est.)591.45 (2015 est.)591.45 (2014 est.)494.42 (2013 est.)510.53 (2012 est.)

Pope Francis blasts 'haggard' Europe
Pope Francis launched a withering attack Tuesday on a "haggard" Europe, urging it to reclaim global leadership after years of crisis and to take in migrants before the Mediterranean becomes a "vast cemetery".
The Argentine pontiff addressed the European Parliament and Council of Europe during a lightning visit to Strasbourg, during which he called for urgent economic and social change.
Francis, the first non-European pope for more than a millennium, took a harsher tone than the last pontiff to visit the French city, John Paul II, in 1988 at the end of the Cold War.
"Europe seems to give the impression of being somewhat elderly and haggard, feeling less and less a protagonist," the 77-year-old pope told the European parliament.
"We encounter a general impression of weariness and ageing, of a Europe which is now a 'grandmother', no longer fertile and vibrant."
Francis -- whose four-hour trip was the shortest abroad by any pope -- was critical of the growing nationalist and anti-immigration sentiment that has surged in Europe amid economic stagnation and unemployment.
Yet he also seemed to echo some of the complaints by eurosceptic parties that won big in the European Parliament elections in May, when he criticised the EU for failing its citizens and being non-democratic.
"The great ideas which once inspired Europe seem to have lost their attraction, only to be replaced by the bureaucratic technicalities of its institutions," he said.
- 'Vast cemetery' -
However the pope reserved his strongest language to call for a "united response" to the plight of migrants fleeing the Middle East and Africa, more than 3,200 of whom have died trying to reach Europe this year alone.
"We cannot allow the Mediterranean to become a vast cemetery," said the pope, who made a similar appeal during a visit to the Italian island of Lampedusa in 2013 after a major shipwreck.
"The boats landing daily on the shores of Europe are filled with men and women who need acceptance and assistance."
Bells rang out from churches across Strasbourg to mark his visit, including the historic cathedral, where hundreds watched his speech on giant screens.
"The pope comes with a message of peace. He's come to speak to parliamentarians to build a united Europe where there will be respect for everyone," said Melanie Makougang, who was visiting from Cameroon.
But the crowd-loving Francis unusually left his popemobile behind for his trip and dedicated his time to addressing the two European institutions.
The European Parliament divides its time between Brussels and Strasbourg, while the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe was set up after World War II to promote human rights and democracy.
The leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics received long standing ovations after his speeches, which followed a flag-raising ceremony and meetings with new European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker and outgoing European Council President Herman Van Rompuy.
European Parliament President Martin Schulz, who welcomed Francis to the huge glass and steel building, said his visit was important at a time of "tremendous loss of confidence in the European institutions".
- Tight security -
Security was tight with snipers posted atop buildings and army sniffer dogs sent out to check the area before the pope's arrival by plane from the Vatican, AFP journalists said.
Francis's visit was relatively uneventful compared to 26 years ago when John Paul II was heckled as the "anti-Christ" by the late Northern Ireland Protestant unionist leader Ian Paisley.
But the current pope was not afraid to take on big issues. In his address to the Council of Europe, Francis appeared to allude to the crisis in Ukraine, calling for a "political solution" to end "tensions" in Europe.
"How great a toll of suffering and death is still being exacted on this continent," he said.
Francis also condemned "religious and international terrorism" in Europe and elsewhere.
The pope also spoke out on hot-button topics such as abortion and euthanasia -- particularly after a slew of recent legislative changes in European countries.
His visit had sparked protests in some quarters -- including from a bare-breasted Femen rights group demonstrator who mounted the cathedral altar on Monday -- with critics angry over the decision to invite a religious leader to address a secular body.

Cases of Lyme disease have tripled since the 1990s, but the CDC thinks that number is actually significantly higher, NPR reports.
Much of that is being driven by the blacklegged tick, sometimes called the deer tick.
The issue is in understanding the lifecycle of a tick.
Those that live through the winter will be dead soon, and their larvae will not be mature enough to spread disease until 2018.
The ticks that people are seeing now "aren't even going to make it to the summer. They will be lucky to make to Memorial Day," he said.
Nonetheless, he hopes that the news will serve as an important reminder for people to get "tick smart," as he puts it.
"You can either get tick bitten or you can get tick smart," he said.

Mother's Day and other things
There is something that I've been thinking about for a long time, and I reckon others have thought about it too, but I'm too lazy to google it to find out… So I'm just going to spew it right here, right now. I'm pretty sure that the characters in The Going to Bed Book children's book by Sandra Boynton are having an orgy. I mean, the book doesn't say this explicitly, of course. But, basically, the story line is that the sun sets, and all of the animal characters go below deck of the boat and strip down and jump into one big bathtub together and lather up with soap, and then they get out and put on pajamas and brush their teeth and, I quote, "some are on top, and some are beneath." And then they go "exercise" and then "rock, rock, rock to sleep." #justsayin Continue reading

On my anger at it being me
So I don't know whether many of the thoughts I'm sharing are socially acceptable or logical (pretty sure they aren't) or whether they'll portray me in the most positive light (pretty sure they won't), but I've not let any of these things stop me before, soooooo… I kind of figure, why start now? And these thoughts are kind of pervasive in my mind, so I feel like sharing them might actually be my first step in setting myself free from them. Or not. Only time will tell. Continue reading

Friday noche thoughts and happenings
I made an effort to be social, and I attended a corporate event on Thursday, a Cardinal's baseball game. Some guy who doesn't even work for our company ended up in our party suite and when he was confronted he bolted. I only talked to four people for the two hours I was there. At one point, I was in a conversation with JVB and my boss and another co-worker and JVB showed us a text from her mom (her parents are on a cruise). The text included a picture of this older couple (her parents), and it read, "If we were any happier, we'd be shitten mushrooms." It was very endearing. Continue reading
When I'm possibly the trigger
Matthew died in the middle of the hottest f#cking summer in history. I don't know if this is true, but this is how I perceive it, how I'll always remember it. It was at least 112 degrees and 140 percent humidity, and when we exited the hospital with a box of belongings through which, to this day, I have yet to sift, to start our most devastating walk to begin our most excruciating drive back to our old lives that we knew were over but hadn't fully processed as such, the scorch engulfed us, making it feel even more surreal… It was almost as if the heavens had opened up just to give us one last middle finger upon our departure.

Books reviewed by Lenna Buissink, Trilogy Board member and parent
A Sensitive, Passionate Man by Barbara Mahoney
A chilling, heart-wrenching true story about a woman who tried EVERYTHING to get her husband to stop drinking. She watched this disease ravage her family and, in the end, all she could do was watch him die. This book takes you from the good days through the hopeful days and on into the hopeless days. Well-written, emotional and well worth reading.
Addict in the Family by Beverly Conyers
This is an honest and forthright picture of the struggles faced by a woman dealing with her daughter's addiction. Ms Conyers deals with the unusual topic of being addicted to the addict's behavior--a condition many of us experience but few of us recognize. She also spends more time than most authors dealing with the hurdles of denial. Mentioning denial when first confronted with the addiction is common, but she keeps pointing out denial all along the continuum of the addiction as well as the recovery.
Addiction -- based on the HBO Series
Got a question about addiction? The answer is in this book somewhere. Any reader would be hard-put to get to the end of this book and say "They forgot to mention_______ about addiction." From the first use and what started happening to the brain, to years and years of sobriety each step is explained. The changes in the brain helps makes sense of this disease as does the deep understanding of the mechanics of addiction. Explained in a forthright, understandable way, the reader will find himself closing the book and saying :"I think I get it...at least better than I did before."
I can see this book being a sort of encyclopedia used as a research tool for anyone dealing with addiction at any level.
Alcoholism Myths and Realities by Doug Thorburn.
Stop accepting the myths and misunderstandings about alcoholism. Read about the truths and explode those myths. 118 myths exposed for the untruths they are. Here is an opportunity to read the myths we have all accepted and discover the truth.
Beautiful Boy by David Sheff
A heartbreaking chronicle of life as the parent of a drug addict. This book takes the reader on a journey that starts with a child's beginning drug use to relapse to recovery to relapse until the author finally says: "I simply can't do this anymore. I need to take care of ME." This book allows the reader to step back and realize how sick a loved one's addiction can make a whole family.
Brain Rules by John Medina.
Change your life by reading this book. Things you thought were true about your brain probably aren't. Fascinating, good read, and you will never think the same.
Broken by William Cope Moyers and Katherine Ketcham
The roller coaster that is addiction and recovery and relapse is revealed in this book. William's story can break your heart, offer hope, and educate you about how baffling and sneaky addiction can be. Because this story is told by the addict, it offers a different view of an addicted brain.
Carrie and Me by Carol Burnett, Great book, fast read. Pages 15-35 report accurately all the feelings, mutterings, and devastation a family suffers when a loved one is deep into addiction. It took Carrie 2 tries at rehab, but the resultant relationship is heart-warming. The denial, final realization of a problem, the helplessness, the seeking help, the hope, the disappointment, the learning the hard way, and the eventual relief are all there.
Drinking: A Love Story by Carolyn Knapp
Any alcoholic can identify with most of this book. An incredibly honest look at the path the author's life took and her increasing dissatisfaction with her alcoholic life and her out-of -control drinking. The reader can sense the struggle to control the drinking but the run-away train of alcoholism keeps taking control (see the third full paragraph on page 230 for a wonderful description of this struggle). The desperation of trying to break free is very strongly presented.
Eating Right to Live Sober by Katherine Ketcham and J. Ann Mueller M.D.
A surprisingly quick read with lots of good nutritional information for both alcoholics and their families and non-alcoholics. The suggested reading list at the end has some great references.
How to Spot Hidden Alcoholics by Doug Thorburn
So many of the behaviors listed in this book apply to people who use other drugs as well. Easy- to-read, down to earth, and full of common sense, this book offers a rare look into the alcoholic mind and how to pinpoint and identify alcoholic behavior. Discover how alcoholic minds think.
I'll Quit Tomorrow by Vernon E. Johnson
This is a very thorough book which details how and when to perform an intervention. Practical steps will help guide the reader up to and through an intervention. One of the strengths of this book is the author has considered many different scenarios and possibilities regarding alcoholic behavior leaving few gaps for unsuspecting interveners.
No More Letting Go by Debra Jay.
Have your pencil ready and be prepared to underline. This book shows a true understanding of addiction and its behaviors. It also has an incredibly thorough, eye-opening section on intervention.
Recovering My Kid by Joseph Lee
Asked and answered. Every time your mind says "Yeah, but..." while reading this book, just keep reading. Dr. Lee covers so many components of adolescent recovery that the answer to your question is in there. Organized in a very logical way with wonderful explanations, this book is most readable. Never talking down to the reader and offering a look at recovery from enough different sides that the reader is sure to find new and insightful information.
Shame and Guilt by Ernest Kurtz
This book was written for professionals. It has some GREAT stuff in it. Finally a book which explains the difference between shame and guilt! Now that I understand it, addicts' actions and reactions are so much clearer as are some of the hurdles addicts face in recovery. As a person in recovery, it helped me a lot in understanding some of the feelings I have had for years and couldn't identify.This is a good book for in-depth study of the difference between shame and guilt. It also has some insightful comments about how AA deals with both issues in two different ways.
Teens Under the Influence by Katherine Ketcham and Nicholas Pace
A must-read for any person touched by addiction or alcoholism. Discover the signs of addiction and what to look for in addictive behaviors and these behaviors become undeniable which gives parents the chance to act before it is too late. This book educates the reader on many, many issues surrounding addiction and allows parents to identify their own denial and teaches them how to move on to the next step.
Terry by George McGovern.
A warm, loving documentation of the senseless death of a prominent public figure's daughter to alcoholism. Surely a painful book to write, but the details and chronology of Terry's disease are laid out in these pages. The helplessness, the unimaginable pain, the constant fear only to have that fear realized in the end is hard to read but impossible to put down.
Tweak by Nic Sheff
A story of addiction, recovery, relapse, recovery, relapse and the hopeless cycle of addiction. A stunning glimpse of relapse and the insidious, sneaky, unexpected, blind-siding nature of relapse. A heart-wrenching view of addiction from the view of an addict—the helplessness, the hopelessness, the consuming nature of the disease, and the eroding of self-respect and self-esteem.
The following books may be helpful for older adults and/or family members who struggle with substance use issues:
Turnabout: New Help for the Woman Alcoholic by Jean Kirkpatrick PhD.
Women often think of themselves as failures because they are alcoholics. This book helps women find their strengths and learn a new way to view themselves. This is not a "You can do it" book but a "look what you can do and be" book and it helps a woman find that path. Inspirational without being soupy.
Under the Influence by James Milam and Katherine Ketcham.
This book offers information on alcoholism and really is helpful in preparing a person touched by alcoholism to know what to look for, what to prepare for, and what alcoholism is all about. It also has a good section on recovery and how to get started.

transitional spring fashion
I should just title this post "Mom Style," because that's what everyone keeps calling this dress and these sandals... But I don't care because I love them both! I found them (and the sweater) unexpectedly while I went with a friend to check out the 40% off sale at Old Navy last weekend. Talk about a great deal! This linen dress is so pretty and perfect for spring/summer, and I can't explain my current obsession with flats like these ones. And for less than $15, can you blame me?
I'm planning to wear this outfit for Easter Sunday since it's supposed to be a little chilly here in Iowa, but also it's the perfect dress for a spring picnic or an afternoon by the lake, don't you think? Old Navy is still offering up to 40% off women's dresses, in case you're still looking for a good one to wear this weekend. I also shared two similar linen dresses that I love in my newsletter yesterday — if you're not getting it, sign up here!
P.S. 8 great wedges for summer, my spring wish list and my favorite nude lipsticks

There are many leftists that grind my gears, but there is one that truly ticks me off. Senator Elizabeth Warren is that special someone that really knows how to get under my skin. Not only does she straddle the line of real and make believe, but she has also insulted our veterans. And for me, that is one thing you just do not do.
So when I learned that Liz Warren had blatantly ignored a letter sent to her by Veterans Assisting Veterans, I was angered. However, just leave it to our veterans to make sure they put this idiot back in her place.
John MacDonald, a representative of VAV, wrote a letter to Warren. In this letter, MacDonald accuses Warren placing illegal immigrants ahead of veterans who served our country.
The letter read:
"Today marks the twentieth day since Veterans Assisting Veterans (VAV) open letter to all American's was first published … It also marks twenty days of silence from every member of the United States Congress and Senate," wrote MacDonald. "Not one of our elected leaders has felt the need to share where they stand."
"We ask Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Edward Markey, and the Massachusetts Congressional delegation… do you stand with us or against us?"
"'Aleppo Liz' is leading the way to thumb her nose at America and Americans by providing comfort to anyone other than the American Citizen and our US Veterans," continued MacDonald.
"Those elected officials that support her stance and lack of understanding between illegal immigrants and those who are legally waiting in line are shameful and rife with their own self-interest."
This woman is out of control, and I am so glad that our veterans called her out on her lies. Warren is willing to pass over our veterans for illegals and refugees and does not care one bit. I can only hope that she will be voted out before she causes anymore trouble.

Happy Friday! I'm linking up with Karli and Amy for oh hey Friday! It's good to get back into blogging…it's been a while (well, it seems like it but it's only been two weeks). I recently switched my blog address to harperandwill.com, so if you were following me on my old blog, please follow along at my new blog address. My blog has a nifty little bloglovin' button at the side (at the bottom of my blog if you're viewing it on a mobile device), so you can click there to follow along.
{one} At the beach this summer, my brother helped me switch my blog over to my own self-hosted one (actually, he is the one hosting it and knows a whole lot more about blogs and hosting than I do, ha!). This enabled me to purchase a cute blog template from Etsy for my new blog! I found some pretty blogs on Etsy from Caked Designs and customized mine with coral and navy (one of my fave color combos). If you're searching for a new blog template, I highly recommend Jessa from Caked Designs. Her prices are very reasonable and she was great to work with! I loved that she installed it and set up everything for me…I would have had no idea how to install it myself, ha! Like I said, I'm not that blog literate and it's amazing that I'm able to figure out how to write blog posts and add pictures:) Just the basics, people, just the basics! Anyway, I'm loving the new design and features of my blog! It now has icons for email, Pinterest, Instagram, and Bloglovin'. I'm still not sure how/if there's a way to redirect my email followers from my old blog to the new one. Any advice on that? Or on redirecting from my old address to my new one? Thanks!
{two} Cookie.butter.ice.cream. Trader Joe's (one of my obsessions) recently started selling this ice cream, which is so yummy! It's a vanilla ice cream with swirls of cookie butter and cookie butter chunks. If you haven't had cookie butter or the ice cream, you're missing out!{three} Mud puddles! Harper and Will loved jumping in the puddles the other evening on our walk to find caterpillars. Now that school has started, our evening time is even more precious (not that it wasn't before, but when I'm not with my kiddos all day, I really want to maximize my time with them). I miss summer like crazy but am excited about my favorite season coming up-fall!{four} Reading books with daddy…my sweet family. {five} Playing outside after church…these sweeties will play all day long in the rocks and dirt. Forget about the toys-rocks are much more fun!I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend:)

My name is Evelyn, founder of Recover T, Inc. Recover T is about second chances. It's about giving back to what saved my life and helping others to find the light and peace that I have found in recovery. Recover T began when I was fresh out of treatment, rediscovering my life, and still under financial restrictions. I had no money to buy gifts for all of the people that had helped me along in my journey, and so I got creative. My accessories gained quick popularity and demand. I was invited to display my goods at a local charity event, and that was that. Dharma knocked, and I finally could hear it. My vision snowballed, backed with passion, gratitude and a drive to succeed in my new way of life. You can now find Recover T in several local Tampa Bay area boutiques, local pop-up markets, Etsy, and social media forums.

I have a missfire when using LPG,runs fine on petrol.
Any ideas?
I have a missfire when using LPG,runs fine on petrol.
Any ideas?
LPG injector (or whatever there called). Try a specialist and they should easily diagnose it. There are that many different systems it would be hard to guess on here.
Is it factory fitted or a conversion? Need to get a diagnostics done at specialist on your particular system. What system have you got? Could be just a filter change required.
b4 u change anything check the compression's i had similar fault found out 3 valves cracked wont cost anything to check it
on mine i had 2 blocked injectors on my factory fit one. couldnt source parts as they are obsolete now. found a good company on eBay, drove down to his garage and he put in 4 new patent part injectors in for me. he makes the injectors himself, and fine tunes the injectors to your needs. my other option after visiting many different specialists was to install a complete brand new system. i didn't want this as it involved removing the old system altogether and having other displays and switches mounted on/near my dashboard.
if yours is switching over to gas fine then it sounds like to me you have just a blocked filter which is fairly easy n cheap to replace.

OnePlus 3T with 128GB in gunmetal colour option has not been discontinued by the company, even as it is getting ready for the launch of OnePlus 5. OnePlus has given a statement on the 3T stock, even though the website of OnePlus still says 'Discontinued' for the 128GB Gunmetal colour option.
The company told us, "We will continue providing OnePlus 3T 128 GB Gunmetal to the market in the future. People who want to get the device can wait for next wave of inventory. Currently for Gunmetal lovers, they can still purchase 64GB variant. And Midnight Black 3T, as a limited edition, has been sold out."
The soft gold and gunmetal colour in 64GB are still available for purchase on the OnePlus Store. On Amazon India, OnePlus 3T is again available only in 64GB for these two colour options. The OnePlus 3T midnight black edition is no longer listed on the Amazon India website either.
This was a limited edition smartphone and as the company confirmed it is now out of stock. OnePlus 3 is still listed on Amazon India, for the 64GB version which is priced at Rs 27,999.
OnePlus has confirmed that its next flagship smartphone will be launching this summer, and the device is called OnePlus 5. According to a statement from OnePlus, the new phone is inspired by former NBA player Robert Horry, and apparently Horry's number five jersey is the reason why this phone is called OnePlus 5.
On the specifications front, OnePlus 5 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB RAM though some reports claim the company will add 8GB RAM to this phone. The other highlight will be the dual rear camera set up, and some leaks claim at 23MP rear camera might be on the cards, but that looks unlikely. Leaked sample of images from OnePlus 5 were also shared on Weibo earlier.
OnePlus 5 will likely feature a bigger 3600 mAh battery, coupled with Dash Charge 2.0, according to reports. For those looking to buy a OnePlus smartphone, remember that a 'summer launch' means OnePlus 5 could be out in India by July or early August. The OnePlus 3T prices might drop just ahead of the new phone's launch, so it is best to wait if you are planning to get a new device.

Much as my upbringing and the "family values" people made me despise the word "family," the celebration of my son's marriage this weekend culminated in an experience of familial love such as I probably never felt before. The tribal, invidious elements were absent and instead I felt bathed in the love that others felt for one whom I love.
Loving one's child is, at its root, narcissistic. One's offspring begin life as repositories of wish-fulfillment impulses: he will fly where I merely jump up, she will be the beautiful person I have never been. And so on.
Yet a child, of one's blood or of another's, in one's home or in one's classroom or in any of the contexts in which children find themselves relying on adults, with all the unreasonable and one-sided demands that children unwittingly make, is the first lesson in truly loving, truly letting go of self for another, not merely out of duty, but with pleasure.
What adult does not die to save a child with a smile on his or her face? This is at the core of the sometimes harsh and fierce human species.
We kill many other species for food, to gain room for ourselves, even for sport. (Don't fool yourselves, self-righteous vegetarians: vegetables and fruits are also living species we kill.) From there we take it to tribalism, totemism, group selfishness and war: my people are better than yours, my family deserves more than yours.
Even if at the core of all the human family lies the strife deemed necessary to survive, there's no question that the good feeling of being nurtured and protected by one's family, clan, nation and planetary unions can be expansive and peaceful. This is what I gained this weekend.

Dark Chocolate Fridge Squares
Recipe by Noo8820
A very simple recipe that's easily adapted to whatever you have in the cupboard. I am driven crazy on a regular basis, being pestered to make these...so be warned!
Top Review by flower7
So wonderful! I used mostly 70% chocolate but didn't have quite enough so added some 49% to make up the difference. I did use the rum but skipped the white chocolate. Used pecans and instead of glace cherries I used sweetened dried cherries. I could have gotten a hold of digestives but instead I used some shortbread cookies I had on hand that someone had given me. Love these so so much! Thanks for sharing!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 269.32 g dark chocolate
- 170.09 g butter
- 59.16 ml golden syrup
- 29.58 ml dark rum (optional)
- 170.09 g biscuits (I use rich tea or digestive)
- 28.34 g toasted rice cereal
- 49.61 g chopped walnuts or 49.61 g pecans
- 99.22 g chopped glace cherries
- 28.34 g white chocolate (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Melt the dark chocolate, butter, syrup and rum in a large saucepan.
- Break up the biscuit and mix it into the chocolate mixture along with the rice cereal, nuts and cherries.
- Line a 7" square tin with parchment paper. Push the mixture into the tin and then chill for 2 hours.
- When set, drizzle with melted white chocolate--optional.
- Cut into squares and watch them disappear before your very eyes!

What was unheard of nearly a decade ago is currently in practice at large_ spying on mobiles. These apps are actually providing you with the best features which could end up being of great help. There are numerous apps and software which cost when you want to spy messages, using GuestSpy, you will not need to pay anything at all. Most criminal apps don't cost too much and may give you all the features you need to track someone's phone without them knowing.
With so many apps in the market, it's a difficult task to select the one that may best suit your needs. The usage of security apps to protect WhatsApp talks from being hacked will undoubtedly end up being the best for you. The majority of remote spy apps like Car Forward have to eventually be set up by rooting the phone when you can obtain physical access. Though mobile whatsapp is many apps being introduced in the market nowadays, only a few can actually be relied on as only a few can actually work at overseeing Viber messages and calls.
You should set up anti-spyware from Google Play or even iTunes and furthermore check in your application manager settings to find out if you notice any new apps you do not recall downloading. We all have applications that we downloaded but for one reason or another in no way got to use. Most spy applications that are reputable can be expensive so that you need to determine if you really do not rely on your girlfriend or if you just want to monitor her every shift.
First off, there are the apps that will mimic the usual SMS and MMS messaging services. Among the best Apps for this is My Secret agent, which can do what you want, and a lot more. You have to avoid such applications as jailbreaking the iPhone will result in losing warranty offered by Apple and that will be a real disaster.

Wisconsin Avenue utility box mural project concludes with ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 11
All 10 utility box murals were composed and created by Mauricio Ramirez
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (July 3, 2017) – Months in the making, the Wisconsin Avenue utility box mural project has enlivened downtown Milwaukee's main street with 10 murals that commemorate the Avenue's history and progress. To celebrate the project's completion, a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Tuesday, July 11 at 12 p.m. at 411 E. Wisconsin Ave. – the site of two utility box murals.
The ceremony will include remarks from Mayor Tom Barrett, Beth Weirick, CEO of Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21, Alderman Michael Murphy, Chair of the Milwaukee Arts Board, and Susan Johnson, Chair of the Downtown Placemaking Task Force and Senior Property Manager of 411 East Wisconsin Center. Performances by DJ Shawna and Lex Allen, as well as lunch from Milwaukee-area food trucks, will top off the celebration.
All 10 utility box murals were composed and created by Mauricio Ramirez, a visual artist who has executed murals across the country for the likes of Microsoft, Warner Music Group, VitaminWater and more. The overarching theme of Ramirez's murals celebrate Wisconsin Avenue's rich history of commerce, diversity of architecture and people, and its undoubtedly bright future. Originally from Chicago, Ramirez currently resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The utility box mural project is one of several arts initiatives transforming Wisconsin Avenue. The recently debuted Sculpture Milwaukee project and forthcoming Lighting the Avenue initiative are among the other arts initiatives that are changing perceptions and increasing pedestrian traffic along the Avenue.
The 10 utility boxes that have been transformed this summer include:
o 800 E. Wisconsin Avenue
o 650 N. Jackson Street
o 401 E. Wisconsin Avenue
o 411 E. Wisconsin Avenue
o 200 E. Wisconsin Avenue
o 707 N. Plankinton Avenue
o 703 N. 2nd Street
o 300 W. Wisconsin Avenue
o 700 N. 6th Street
o 706 N. 9th Street
Sponsors of the utility box project include Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21, Milwaukee Arts Board, 411 East Wisconsin Center, Drury Hotel, Wisconsin Club and Wisconsin Center District. Ribbon for the July 11th ceremony provided by Cream City Ribbon. For more information on Mauricio Ramirez, visit www.mauriciopaints.com.

No introduction yet
Help support your Meetup
Edgar Cayce believed in Healing using Body, Mind, Spirit. One of the most frequently mentioned concepts in the Edgar Cayce material is that Spirit is the Life, Mind is the Builder, and the Physical is the Result. In other words, spirit is the source of all life. The mind focuses that energy into creative (positive) or destructive (negative) avenues of expression.
The impact of our choices will eventually find expression in the physical, affecting ourselves and our relationships with one another. It is important that we continue to meet and spread the word of Edgar Cayce and the other classes and events of like mind.

five things friday where you can find out what's been making me smile this week
Happy Friday friends!
Over the past few months, as life has only gotten busier, I've realized I've been negligent in sharing the smaller things that have made me smile, and so I'm officially resurrecting Five Things Friday and we're starting off with number one, because I'm not about to count how many of these I've written in the past 🙂
The Gut Lab
The Gut Lab is a local Calgary product I found on SPUD* and is amazing! I've been working to better wind down at night, and having cocoa gold mixed with almond milk each evening has been very calming. Turmeric is known to have anti inflammatory properties and this saves me from mixing it myself – and it's downright tasty!
You can find it from SPUD* and if you're a new customer you can save $20 on your first order with my referral link.
My Relocated Desk (and Flowers!)
Two weeks ago I moved my desk from my second bedroom into my living room and I'm loving it. It's right by my window so I can get some sunlight while working, and the flowers on the desk really help to cheer it up.
I've wanted to move it for months and I'm so glad I did!
The flowers are for Amborella and are absolutely beautiful. I've truly enjoyed my weekly peony deliver and will be sad when it's over.
Saucony Ride 10
The fine folks at Saucony reached out and asked if I'd be interested in trying out the new Saucony Ride 10 shoes, and I jumped on the chance! As they're a neutral shoe, they're not the best running shoe for me, but they were a fantastic walking shoe and I wore them throughout City Chase this past weekend.
I had tried them on, but really put them through the paces on Saturday with 25,000 steps (including climbing up and down the Calgary Tower!) and my feet were happy as could be at the end of it!
Maybelline Makeup
I received a number of Maybelline items from ChickAdvisor earlier this month. While I'm not required to post a review on the blog, I was so impressed by the quality of the products, I wanted to be sure to share them with you. I've had a bit of a Sephora problem in the past, so having less expensive, yet still great quality make up options makes my bank account super happy!
MyoBuddy Massager
I received the MyoBuddy Massager for free in exchange for a review. I had hoped to have the opportunity to bring it along on my Ragnar trip, but I quickly ran out of room in my suitcase; however, I was able to use it upon my return.
I also had a massage a few days after Ragnar and asked my amazing and wonderful massage therapist her opinion of the massager (she actually asked what it was) since she's far more knowledgeable about this kind of stuff than I am.
A summary of the convo with my RMT is as follows:
Vibration massage can be really beneficial for warming up by quickly targeting the areas for a total time of about 2 minutes. This helps wake up the muscles and receptors for exercise. When it comes to massage, benefits are really only seen with prolonged (greater than 2 minutes) use in an area.
The MyoBuddy webpage has a great library of resources for self massage, and I highly recommend viewing the videos to get the most out of your MyoBuddy Massager.
Like many recovery techniques, I find it best to do what works for you, and this study reported in Runner's World has a similar conclusion.
Bonus: Blogger Summer Camp
Okay, so camp hasn't started yet, but that doesn't mean I can't be super excited about it!
I've been pretty open about not wanting blogging to be my full time job (I like my job!) but I do think there are ways I can better leverage both my running and accounting knowledge in blogland, and I'm excited to come up with a plan (right now I really only have a pla-).
Remember, you can sign up for the Shake Your Money Maker* course and then you'll receive a huge discount on your Blogger Summer Camp* registration and get lifetime access to the Shake Your Money Maker* course. Signing up was definitely a no-brainer for me!
*yup, those are affiliate links. Signing up doesn't cost you anything additional, but if you sign up, I'll receive a percentage of the price. As always, thank you so much for your support.Five Things Friday feat @SPUDCalgary @SauconyCanada @MaybellineCAN AND MORE! Click To Tweet
