Chief Secretary was launching the World Bank aided 'H.P. Public Financial Management & Capacity Building Programme', here today. He said The World Bank under this programme has assigned a loan of 36 million USD, whereas 20 percent would be borne by the State Government thereby making the project cost to Rs. 45 million USD. The programme would be implemented between 2017 to 2022. He said Himachal Pradesh is the first State in the country to get this project as the State has the good linkage with World Bank which has appreciated various indicators of the state. He extended his gratitude to the World Bank Team for sanctioning this project.
He said there is a need of good financial management, proper audit and utilization of funds. He said all Departments should be linked to e-procurement system which has already been started in Irrigation & Public Health and Public Works Departments. He said the problem of connectivity still remains in the remote areas of the State and the Information & Technology Department has put the efforts to sort out this problem by improving and expanding HIMSWAN across the State.
Additional Chief Secretary (Finance) Dr. Shrikant Baldi said that effective measures would be adopted for implementation of the project under the technical guidance of World Bank. All the DDOs would be connected in the chain and imparted training. He said the project would go a long way in proper management of public finances. He informed that public financial rules have been formed in the State and now there is a need to focus on proper implementation of this programme. He said all treasuries in the State were already on-line.

There are tens of offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood all over the world. It must be designated as a terror group. Our government must change this classification. We are past the era of Obama. It is time that we take the threats of radical Islam seriously and eradicate the threat of terror in North America and the rest of the free world.

Story: Please, Professor - By: Adriana Rossi
By: Adriana Rossi
Saucy Excerpt:
"Take a seat and let's go over this," he motioned.
I pulled over a seat as close to him as possible and crossed my legs. I saw his eyes dart to my exposed upper thighs. He cleared his throat and began to rifle through the test papers.
"Right, Clara Bronte. Okay, here we go."
Perhaps there was a way I could get out of this test entirely. I placed my elbow on the desk and leaned my head into my hands. I knew that the Professor would have a nice view of my breasts cradled by my push-up bra.
"So the first question is just asking for the work applied to travel up the ramp. Do you remember the equation?"
He looked at me and his eyes briefly traveled down before they snapped back to my eyes.
Inwardly smiling, I blinked slowly. "Umm…Force times something."
"Force times distance. But, since it's on a ramp you need to use cosine."
"Right," I said. I leaned in and grasped the pencil he had dropped. My breasts were pushed up against his arm, and I could feel his warm breath. I scribbled the equation on the paper. "Is it this?"
"Um," he paused. "Yes."
I smiled at his flustered answer. I could feel wetness in my panties as I waited in anticipation. I knew I would have to get closer to him, but I didn't want to spook him.
"Let's move on to the next one, then. This one concerns torque. Do you remember how torque and centripetal acceleration are related?"
My eyes grew wide and I shook my head. "No, professor," I admitted. "Oh, wait!"
I leaned over his arm again and started drawing a picture of a pendulum. "Torque is equal to centripetal acceleration when you have a mass on a string, right?" I breathed in his ear.
"No, that's tension," he said softly.
My hand dropped to his thigh and I squeezed it. "I'm sensing some tension here, actually."
He chuckled nervously, but didn't remove my hand. "Am I correct, professor?"
A bulge began to form in his tweed pants, and I began to massage it with my hands. He sighed heavily in my ear, and his hand raised and brushed aside my thick, dark hair. His fingertips lightly stroked my exposed breasts. "This is wrong," he murmured. "I shouldn't be doing this with a student."
I ignored his protests as I lifted my leg and straddled his waist. The wetness in my panties was soaking. I wanted him to sooth my aching pussy.
He pulled on the blouse, the buttons snapping off. The hungry look in his eyes misted as my breasts were freed.
I was gently riding his cock up and down through his pants and guided his face into my tits. His lips sucked and licked at the gooseflesh and I gasped. With his thumbs, he ripped down the bra and began stroking the sensitive nipples in a circular motion. His tongue and mouth sucked on one nipple, and it puckered instantly. He sucked the next one until it was bright red.
His mouth and lips teasing my nipples sent fire down my pants. I was so wet that I could see a dark stain on the Professor's pants. His cock was like a metal rod, and I wanted so badly to feel it inside me.
"Please, Professor," I begged.
I knew that he wanted to fuck me just as badly. He leaned into me, crushing my tits in his face as he reached around me. His hand slid down the back of my skirt and caressed my smooth ass. Then it traveled down and found the back of my cunt. His middle finger slid against the folds of my clitoris, the juice sliding all over his finger.
"You're so wet already."
"Please, Professor!" I begged earnestly. My pussy kept clenching as it ached for a cock.
He kissed my tits and his mouth roved to my ear, which he bit savagely. His middle finger was still sliding along my clit with torturous pace. To my surprise, I was the one breathing heavily in his ear. I was the one being seduced.

Household animals that no longer have homes are often brought to animal shelters. Animal shelters are safe places to bring animals that are abandoned or lost. Many shelters will also take in animals that are sick or injured. In some areas of the U.S., humane societies will also provide shelter for animals. Shelters often serve as pet adoption centers. Animal shelters are also open to household pets taken from owners who can no longer care for them, those who have mistreated them, or those who have violated animal welfare laws.
Shelters provide animal care, rescue, and animal control. They assist with adopting dogs, cats, and other pets. They also may offer services like spaying or neutering. Shelters may offer adoption. Local and county governments fund some dog pounds and animal shelters, while volunteers and donations provide further support.

It's been easy to see why Blue Ridge has become such a popular North Georgia destination since we first discovered the area in 2002. Throughout the year, our family has enjoyed vacationing because of the abundance of recreational activities like rafting, fishing, boating, and hiking. The pristine beauty of mountain landscapes, trails, scenic overlooks, and rivers make for the ultimate getaway.
You truly have to stay at the Mountaintop Getaway to appreciate all it has to offer!
Dave Terry purchased this cabin in 2002
After an exhaustive, one-year search we finally found 'the one.' In 2002, we purchased the premium, private, secluded lot that sits on top of Sunrock Mountain. We subsequently brought in a master craftsman to build a truly custom cabin. We tried to spare no detail in furnishing the interior with upscale lodge rustic décor. The close proximity to the city of Blue Ridge and nearby recreational activities was an added bonus. Located just 75 miles from Atlanta, it is easy to see why Blue Ridge has become such a popular North Georgia travel destination.
The Mountaintop Getaway cabin is a luxurious retreat that offers a majestic, 70+ mile, year-round view of the Appalachian Mountains. The cabin is ideally situated in the heart of nature and tranquility on one of the most private lots on Sunrock Mountain. Again, the long-range view is simply breath-taking.
Mountaintop Getaway boasts a number of unique features like a 7-person jacuzzi hot tub that sits under a covered gazebo with a surround sound stereo system, a 200+ movie DVD collection, an outdoor fire pit, a high-powered telescope for star gazing, large HD TVs on every level, iPod docking stations, Galaga/Ms Pacman Arcade game, exercise bike, and a wrap around bar in the basement. The cabin offers 3 spacious bedrooms, 3 full baths, a screened porch with fireplace, a huge outdoor deck with a 9-foot stainless steel grill, Wii game system, poker/card table, and fully-equipped kitchen.
The cabin is located next to an abundance of recreational activities like white water rafting on the Ocoee River (home of the 1996 Olympic White Water Rafting Competition), horseback riding, fishing, boating, hiking, canoeing, and golf to name just a few. Of course, you are allowed to simply "chill out" and escape city life by taking a nap in the hammock, enjoying the fresh mountain air on a rocking chair, or walking down a nature trail.
The cabin was professionally decorated with high-end furnishings and lots of attention was paid to the little details. There are extra perks like his/her robes, board games, corn-hole, and cookbooks. Pets are welcome. No smoking is allowed.
Loved the house – we do not want to leave. The weather was perfect and loved downtown Blue Ridge. The 5 of us "girls" even had a fire going in the pit. We never saw a bear, but were looking. We enjoyed the sitting on the porch, building a fire, the hot-tub, and relaxation. Thank you for letting us stay in your cabin!
The cabin is outstanding, the views are phenomenal and everything is just as described. It is truly equipped and kept just like home. Dave is a great host and we will be back again soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this lovely cabin! The view is amazing, you have end of the road privacy and the house is set up perfect for a getaway vacation. We hope to come back soon!
Cabin is well stocked except for a few minor items. Could use some minor sprucing up on the outside but it worked great and would highly recommend. Loved the location .
The property is located atop a mountain and offers an excellent view from the large deck. We were there over the Independence Day holiday and enjoyed fireworks displays from three valleys.
The property is private with amazing long range views. Dave, the Owner, was very responsive. I would stay here again.
This is a very nice cabin in a great location. We had 4 adults and 4 kids, and there was plenty of room. There's an excellent mountain view from the back deck and the cabin is only 15 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge. The owner responded to questions very quickly, and he was always courteous and nice.
This cabin is very reasonably priced for what you get, which is a lot. Besides the video games, hot tub and poker table, there's a huge bookcase full of board games and DVDs. The beds are very comfortable. You will get bugs in the cabin if you leave the doors open, because, well, you're in the woods, duh. We will definitely be renting this cabin again.

Storm damage: Claim denial is often a first response
As many residential homeowners and commercial property owners know well, things can sometimes get a bit problematic when an insurance claim is filed following damage that occurs as a result of a storm.

John Kerry's bicycle choice fearlessly crosses the red line

Thrilled to be involved in the upcoming 'Of the Night' readings hosted by The Hearth on Thursday 26 October at The Jade on Flinders Street, Adelaide. Maybe see you there…
I went to my first Dead Poets Society meet last night hosted by Dymocks to hear Alison Flett talk about Carol Ann Duffy.
Held each month, local poets pay tribute to infamous ones, originally those deceased although clearly they bend the rules every so often to capture the brilliance we still have. Being Scottish in common as well as amazing poets, Alison spoke about Duffy's life and loves; how she fell into poetry at sixteen by meeting Adrian Henri, one of the Liverpool poets, after whom she wrote 'Little Red Cap' which Alison read, a clever poem relating Duffy's journey into adulthood with Henri as the wolf.
This poem was from Duffy's The World's Wife, an ingenious collection from the perspective of the women behind famous men, from which Alison also shared 'Frau Freud', a witty piece reflecting on the male member.
Alison also read 'Hive' from Duffy's latest collection The Bees published in 2011 along with 'Premonitions', a poem about Duffy's mother whose death caused a hiatus in Duffy's writing for about 10 years.
Alison finished by sharing some of her own beautiful poetry, including one of my favourites 'Vessel', the title poem from her chapbook in the Southern Land Poets series by Garron Publishing.
The talk was followed by a raffle and an open mic session, where readers share a favourite poem by the tribute poet and one of their own inspired by them. It felt good to be reacquainted with Duffy's powerful and emotive work; it's clear to see why she's the current UK Poet Laureate.
Next month is D H Lawrence, whose novels I'm more familiar with than his poetry, so I may just mosey on along to that one too.
To celebrate 21 years of publishing, Stephen and Brenda Matthews of Ginninderra Press (GP) held an open day at their house in Port Adelaide yesterday.
Ginninderra is an Aboriginal word meaning 'throwing out little rays of light', which is exactly what GP does, by giving voices to so many writers since its inception in 1996 in Canberra, reflected in its philosophy:
We believe that all people – not just a privileged few – have a right to participate actively in cultural creation rather than just being passive consumers of mass media.
A follow on from a similar event in Melbourne earlier this month, it was packed as predicted, with many familiar faces, in their beautiful home that looks out onto the Port Adelaide River and which houses the press. Most attending lived in and around Adelaide, but some had travelled interstate just to be there, a credit to this award-winning publisher.
Stephen kicked off the proceedings before handing over to Brenda to MC the running sheet of readers. I shared a poem from my chapbook, Smashed glass at midnight, the first in GP's Picaro Poets series and being my debut collection will always feel special.
The commitment, time and dedication Stephen and Brenda put into their work is demonstrated in the beautiful books they publish – 'A day in the life of GP' provides an interesting insight into what this entails.
I'm both thrilled and honoured to be part of the GP family, and will always be incredibly grateful, like so many others, to Stephen and Brenda for enabling my work to be.
I went to the launch of Shaping the Fractured Self: Poetry of Chronic Illness and Pain on Wednesday, a stunning collection edited by Heather Taylor Johnson, and the first of its kind in Australia from UWA Publishing.
Launched by Peter Goldsworthy, this is an exquisite book; to be absorbed, examined, shared and treasured. In his foreword, Peter explores poetry as a cathartic process, the 'cleansing of emotional wounds', with 'much hard-earned wisdom and hard-wrung poetry in the pages that follow.'
A plethora of diseases and conditions are represented – cancer, mental health, disability, postnatal depression, ageing and dementia. Heather herself suffers from Ménière's disease, an imbalance of the inner ear, and one she writes about here. But what makes this anthology so special is its structure; three poems from each poet preceded by a narrative describing their illness and the impact it has.
And Heather has gathered together some fine Australian poets – the likes of Fiona Wright, Andy Jackson and Stuart Barnes alongside those who read at the Adelaide launch – Gareth Roi Jones, Ian Gibbins, Rachael Mead, Rob Walker and Steve Evans.
Gareth suffers from migraines, a debilitating condition painfully conveyed in his poem 'aching':
hours when simply standing up
is a pickaxe
when the growling dog
won't let you through the gate.
Ian is a neuroscientist so knows about the body, how it works and how it doesn't, demonstrated by his brilliant performance of 'Cataplexy', a poem which explores this rare condition where extremes of emotion trigger a switch from consciousness into a waking dream-like state.
Rachael was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, states eloquently expressed in 'What lies beneath my skin', which opens with:
The ringing telephone ratchets me into tension.
providing an insight into her daily management, when walking the dog offers some relief:
I put myself in the path of wildness
let it fill my long and hollow bones.
Rob's condition is chronic osteoarthritis, a degenerative bone disease, where in his poem 'radiology' (composed with Magdalena Ball), 'holding our future in nervous hands, we come with X-rays', likening this process to 'reading the stars within', an 'internal astrology', a captivating image.
Steve suffers with temporal epilepsy, experiencing Alice-in-Wonderland-type moments of surreal forgetfulness. In the 'Body Electric', he shares what it feels like:
My body is short-circuiting.
a tumultuous journey culminating in the final stunning lines:
And my words are brittle copies
Of what I used to do. My fingers fail.
I just can't make a fist of this.
These snapshots are enough to tempt anyone living with chronic illness and pain to seek the bigger picture captured in this collection. And they need not be a fan of poetry to be able to appreciate the unequivocal raw beauty of the afflicted self.
is today! In the US and Canada but you know, nothing to stop us from extending it everywhere!!

Initiated in 2002 in New York as part of its National Poetry Month celebration, Poem in your Pocket Day is designed to encourage people to select a poem, unknown or a favourite, and carry it around with them for the day, sharing it with others throughout.
So, let's get sharing; be it in your office, a bookstore, local park or simply on the sidewalk. If you're on Twitter, use the hashtag #pocketpoem. For those more traditional folk, reach into your pocket and read out loud!
Seeing as I'm going through a Plath phase, I've put 'Morning Song' in my pocket to whip out and share on the train or during my lunchtime walk or more interestingly, in a meeting at work…
is today! Initiated by UNESCO in 1999, the aim is a simple one – to honour and promote poets and poetry around the world, and to recognise poetry as an international language with the ability to unite.

Love it or hate it, poetry is an important historical instrument, an invaluable form of expression, which can challenge, heal, humour and change, but above all connect us to our very existence. Here's this year's message from Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO:
Poetry is a window onto the breath-taking diversity of humanity
So I want to share one of my favourite poems by one of my favourite poets with you. Having recently revisited her work, Sylvia Plath is undeniably one of the world's finest poets and below is one of many reasons why. Plath wrote this poem a month before her separation from Ted Hughes and just six months before her death:
For a Fatherless Son
You will be aware of an absence, presently,
Growing beside you, like a tree,
A death tree, color gone, an Australian gum tree —-
Balding, gelded by lightning—an illusion,
And a sky like a pig's backside, an utter lack of attention.
But right now you are dumb.
And I love your stupidity,
The blind mirror of it. I look in
And find no face but my own, and you think that's funny.
It is good for me
To have you grab my nose, a ladder rung.
One day you may touch what's wrong —-
The small skulls, the smashed blue hills, the godawful hush.
Till then your smiles are found money.
Copyright @ Sylvia Plath 1962
So I urge you to write, read, speak and share to help celebrate all things poetry, not only on this day, but every day.
I went to the launch by Carol Lefevre of Jean Harley was here last night at Dymocks bookshop.
This is Heather Taylor Johnson's second novel, Pursuing Love and Death her first published in 2013 by Harper Collins, a domestically rich story with the protagonist suffering from Meniere's disease, a debilitating condition of the inner ear causing vertigo and tinnitus, which Heather herself battles with. So Heather's second novel has been hotly anticipated.
Published by the University of Queensland Press, it explores love, relationships and the impact of absence. Jean Harley – wife, mother, lover, dancer – is sunshine in the lives of those around her, but when tragedy strikes they are forced to continue without her. Despite a little unravelling and a few storms, Jean leaves a powerful legacy to abate them. I've heard it's a tear-jerker
Heather is first and foremost a poet, with a number of sole and collaborative collections to her name, and her lyricism is reflected in her exquisite prose. I recall Heather sharing an extract from the draft of this book last year at a reading with other poets, which has stayed with me, and Heather's knack for scene-setting is like an intimacy shared, demonstrated by the excerpt she read yesterday from the chapter "Emotional Fishing". Here's a snapshot:
Charley sat as far back as he could, feeling out of place, though that was nothing new. His bald head shone under the fluoro lights and the back of his neck itched – an eczema problem that flared up when he was nervous. He kept smoothing his long beard to a point – another nervous tic. One might think he was made of tougher stuff because if this was an eye-for-eye world, here was a man who'd seen things that should've blinded him, a man who'd done the sort of things people don't talk about at the dinner table but read about in newspapers over breakfast…"
Quoted as being "a book to savour" by Hannah Kent, it's clear this will be another stunning read from an extraordinarily talented writer. A visceral narrative with complex, relatable characters, Heather offers us a world to get lost in, absorb, making us ponder our place in our own.
I went along to the launch of Paint the Sky by Kristin Martin last night at Henley Beach.
Kristin writes poetry and fiction for children and adults. This is her first full length poetry collection for adults published by Ginninderra Press. Launched by Lynette Washington, the room was packed and thankfully air-conditioned in the forty-degree heat! Lynette began by reeling off Kristin's many roles – wife, mother, daughter, teacher, writer and poet – and it's with the latter hat on that she 'untangles the world with her words.'
Lynette then read four poems from the collection – 'Time and Space', 'Never Happy with the Weather', 'Belonging' and 'In the Back of Emily Dickinson', the most poignant of the four, where even during labour a poet will fight pain to scribble down words that also vie to exist.
Kristin also shared four poems – 'She Paints the Sky' done 'when the stresses of her days on earth press between her shoulders', 'The Shed' a witty fictional poem about her dad, 'Whistling Kites' previously published in a Friendly Street Poets Anthology and then possibly my favourite in the collection 'The Catch of the Evening', where we find a young Kristin playing cricket with her family in the backyard and competing for catches, the ending simply brilliant:
'Then, as the mosquitoes herded us indoors,
I turned to grab the stumps and saw the uncontested winner:
our blue gum. It had caught the moon
and was holding it triumphantly
in the crook of a branch.'
This is a comprehensive debut collection brimming with family, love and loss, and fellow poet Rob Walker's review on the back sums it up perfectly – 'Kristin Martin reminds us that rare moments between ordinary people are precious gems, and lovingly holds them up to the sunlight.'
I planned to go along to Poet's Corner Monday evening to hear fellow poet and friend Cary Hamlyn read, but unfortunately couldn't make it.
Attending this event would have been a first for me, which runs six times a year at the Effective Living Centre in Wayville. A guest poet is invited to read, share their poetic journey and any particular creative process they follow.
Cary is a wonderful poet, who I got to know through the Lee Marvin Readings, and after chatting to her a few times found out she was relieved to now know who the girl in the green coat is!
I heard Cary captivated the audience and the event was well attended, more so than when Cary read at Lee Marvin. And I've no doubt Cary shared some poems from her debut collection Scraping the Night published by Ginninderra Press in their Picaro Poets series, and what a fine first collection it is.
Cary's poems explore pertinent themes – psychology, humour, loss, love – and in the title poem 'Scraping the Night' there is much to admire. Essentially about a couple making out, 'moonlight leers through the car window etching the valley of your cheek' while 'outside the stars open and shut like clams'; such vivid images.
So I'll be keeping my eye out for who the next guest poet is, as it sounds like a wonderful way to spend an evening.
Last night I went to the launch of Heather Taylor Johnson's new collection of poems, Meanwhile, the Oak, at The Mockingbird Lounge. This is Heather's fourth book of poetry, this time published by Five Islands Press, with the cover photo by Rachael Mead.
The collection was launched by Alison Flett, another brilliant local poet, who spoke about some of the themes in these poems; family, pets and most noticeably the belly, a symbol of health and fertility.
Heather stepped up to share just two poems – 'They said' and 'This old house' – the first for her three children who did an excellent job of bookselling and the other for her husband, whose home brew proved very popular.
'They said' is an expertly crafted braided poem, weaving Heather's thoughts with those of her children to give us a snapshot of their lives:
'Crawling beside me, a tiny question mark
in uncertain darkness says
There was someone in a box
It was raining
It was in my dream'
And then later, to reinforce the parent/child dynamic:
'Because I hold fear in my teeth like old fillings, I listen when they say
It's scary at night, so dark.
I wish the moon would sleep with me'
'This old house' is essentially a love poem, but the kind that has thorns as well as the flower to really make you feel. It's bursting with passion, movement and heat:
'In the living room / let's rub together like carpet and shag.
Let's read each other in the study.
On the woodpile / let's aim for splinters.'
And the final lines are simply stunning:
'On the veranda / let's be stars and go oooo and ahhh as we shoot off in
every direction.'
Heather's work always draws a big crowd because it's visceral, gritty, absorbing. Imagine gorging on a piece of fruit, the juices running down your chin, the tang in your mouth, the colours in your head. For me, this is Heather's poetry; in the moment, unabashed, full of life, sharing the very essence of herself and what it means to be human.

While waiting for the parade to arrive at The Green on our Star Spangled Carnival day, I noticed that the daughters of two of our American visitors from the 67th Special Operations Squadron had climbed onto the base of the town sign to obtain a better view.
At my request, Captain Luke Lagace, a member of the 67th SOS, kindly took this photograph of ten year-old Isabella DeCarlo and twelve year-old Courtney Downs, both of whom were clearly enjoying the occasion.
Also in the picture, and apparently using his mobile phone to send a text message, is Mark Service, the former RAF Flight Sergeant who for many years has been the Historian of the 67th.
As soon as the photograph arrived from Luke, I realised just how fitting it was for Mark to be in the background, because this is exactly where he has been since 2011, quietly orchestrating several high profile events, and prompting a decision, taken by the town council as long ago January 2013, to grant the Freedom of Hunstanton to the 67th in recognition of the part played by former squadron members, including Reis Leming, during the floods on January 31, 1953.
It was not, as one or two people have suggested, the tidal surge in December 2013 that led to a renewed interest in the 67th SOS. It was, in actual fact, a decision by Squadron Commander, Lt Col Shelley Rodriguez to act on Mark's suggestion to include Hunstanton in events marking the 60th anniversary of the Squadron on November 10 2012, and to visit the town for the 60th anniversary of the floods on January 31, 2013.
Seeing the two young Americans in front of the town sign reminded me of another idea, discussed at length with Mark Service on several occasions, involving a unique sign reading: "Welcome to Hunstanton a Victorian seaside town - twinned with the USAF 67th Special Operations Squadron".
Whether or not this will ever happen could depend to a large extent on the recently appointed Commander of the 67th SOS, Courtney's dad, Lt Col Bradley Downs.
I am really looking forward to hearing his views on developing our 'special relationship' in this way, because his wife, Emma is English and, his great grandfather, Samuel Bown, was born in Bilston in Staffordshire and emigrated to the US at the age of 16.
In the meantime, I am certain we can look forward to seeing members of the Squadron exercising their right, not only to enter the town on an annual or biannual basis, with swords drawn, bayonets fixed, drums beating and colours flying, but much more frequently on informal occasions, even if it is with buckets and spades at the ready; or simply to enjoy just being here as much as Isabella and Courtney obviously did at our Star Spangled Carnival, when they rounded off the day by playing on the beach and running into the sea with their other American friends at Old Hunstanton.

Pika Time
Today's post features one of my favorite subjects to photograph when I travel to the Colorado Rockies. The American Pika is a very small mammal, weighing only about 4 ounces. It feeds on an assortment of green plants and can often be spotted as it quickly runs between it's source of plants and it's den, […]

NIMBY … an acronym for "Not In My Back Yard", a phrase often used to show the displeasure of something, typically environmentally, about to occur near a residential area.

It's a Zoo Out There, Part 1
I was hoping to have some new images of dragonflies to post today, but I've not seen any around my rural Missouri butterfly garden over the past few days. I don't know if the extremely hot temperatures are causing them to lay low, or I've just not been in the garden at the right time. […]
A Cat in the Garden
Today I'm featuring another notable find from my recent butterfly garden tour at a wonderful butterfly garden near Paola, Kansas. A couple of butterfly caterpillars ("cats") were busy feeding on one of the garden plants as I walked the path through the garden. These caterpillars will soon become beautiful Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) butterflies: In […]


text: Hi, Anyone own or extensively auditioned the M&K K series? I am WAF challenged. She says that when we move to a bigger house or redo our family room (make it bigger) I can get real speakers. By this she means good sized bookshelves--my eye is on the Paradigm Studio 40s or maybe the M&K 750s. I took my wife in to see the Studio 20s...too big Until then, I am in satellite/small bookshelf land. I have auditioned the K7s with K5 and K4s for surround. They sounded great but then again, so did the NHT SB/SC set up I heard. The Kef 2005 (eggs) sounded good too. I am also going to check out Energy Take 5.2 and Encore (yet a different store). Anyone own the K-Series?

Utilize this complete article structure to create a comprehensive outline on your own essays. They could obtain pupils engaged within the topic as well as create thoughts of real-life irritaions that might be exceptional issue solution papers.
Do not fear, should you don??t possess a distinct response on some problem.
1 typical mistake that lots of folks do while composing it, is producing an overall statement about what they're going to compose within the article. My pupils furthermore attempt to interview somebody concerned within the firm and execute a site visit in the event the organization has a division in your township. It often upheld the use of injunctions to prevent labor strikes, struck down the federal income law, sharply limited the antitrust law, restricted the railroad rates setting powers of the interstate wiki page reference commerce commission, prohibited the fed...

The most significant goals of schooling must be empowering newcomers to obtain knowledge and moral values. Pupils commonly require assistance in studying. Each teacher is a bit different inside her necessities. Instructors should also provide the youngsters proper instructions for each kind of essay they have to write.

Sorry about the low quality:
Hey there! Yes I am still alive!
Our current animation project -- create an animated logo for yourself! Well, my actual "logo" isn't going to be animated, but I made a little animated me to stand next to my logo. Think of the little 2 second clips that are played after sitcoms that say what studio made it. That kind of thing.
Anyway, this is just a work-in-progress... I'm supposed to have this completely done by Tuesday, eeep! I may have to adjust some things around and simplify my original idea, but it'll get there. Somehow.
Anyway, I'm hoping to get on my scanner tonight and scan some other stuff I've been doing since senior year began, so stay tuned for that!

Some of the first examples of graphic novels in the United States were comic book classics, published first in the 1940s. Novels like The Three Musketeers were put into the traditional framework of a comic book, whereby they were thought to be more easily digested by young readers. Though greatly abridged, this treatment of novels was popular among the young, and many look back on these books with fondness.
Today, there are graphic novels suited to all ages, and some that are particularly unsuitable for the young. Graphic can mean more than "accompanied by illustrations." Certain titles, like those written by Frank Miller, are rife with violence and very realistic depictions of sexual behavior. They do have a market, and Miller's Sin City was adapted into a film, which starred A-list actors and won considerable critical praise.
While a graphic novel produced in the US with typically feature characters with very different faces and names, manga characters have distinctive features. Most characters have very large eyes, small noses, and lined mouths. Though some Japanese artists do not follow this character form, most Japanese illustrations that make it to the US have traditional manga faces. Manga can be intensely inappropriate for young children, and they are not rated as US graphic novels are. The anime sequence in Kill Bill: Volume 1 is a good example of the lengths to which manga may go as an art form.
Some graphic novels offer terrific ways to educate children. Since they are full of illustrations, they are often attractive to young readers and can communicate stories about morals or events in history. Some are just pure fun, and enhance children's appreciation of and skill in reading.
Since the best selection is frequently at comic book stores, parents may want to do some reading to find appropriate material for their children. Some large booksellers place graphic novels in the children's section to make selection easier. For adults who love the form, its popularity continues to increase, so they can be assured of an evolving collection of interesting material.
For all your graphic novels, check out our graphic novels page.

Fleet and Flower - Rêveurs - an Ethereal Perfume Meditation oil - How do I share the essence of my brand online?
I love that Fleet and Flower's ethereal perfume / meditation oil can help with so many things, but how do I get that across? Branding, blogging, SEO-ing, and getting to the core of the business is tough work. TG I meditate.
Our cool perfume oil can help so much: grounding, uplifting, social anxiety, confidence builder, mother nature's powers, personal power building, ritual making, all of the spiritual associations of the essential oils in the blend (aphrodisiac, endocrine system, tranquillity, anti-depressant, self empowering, supports confidence, aids in self expression) - basically it is meditation on the go by using an ethereal product.
So our perfume oil is pretty different, you may have sussed that out by now. But how do I get that across? I am just a one time book blogger, long time (part-time) primary school teacher, and digital creator. And this blog post is turning into Dr. Seuss prose!
Our ingredients are WAY more concentrated than most essential oil products.
Fleet and Flower's vegan and cruelty-free perfume oil has 20% concentration of organic essential oils. Most products have a 3% concentration. We use an organic carrier oil. And our first ethereal perfume oil, Rêveurs, is being marketed as a mobile meditation with the tag line - meditation oil for the soulful. (it is so potent and powerful packed with natures goodness, made from the best natural ingredients in the world, and crystal infused and blessed by two reiki masters - I wanted to make a product that could help and still be cool) But how do I get all that across?!
You can use it during meditation, out and about, and traveling. You bring the serene with you. DO I need to keep saying that?
Ethereal product
Rêveurs is crystal infused by a crystal grid and blessed by a reiki master and a kundalini master. So, I suppose, in the holistic circles, it would be called an Ethereal product. I mean, it's spiritual in the metaphysical scence, smells amazing, artisan, and is ethical. It's hand-blended. But how to I get all of this across in a succinct way?
How to share our brand values with you?
So, how do we get that across to our customers?
How do we share our brand values?
How do we emphasise its ethereal qualities?
How do we share our vegan values?
How do we let you know how important sustainability and fair trade is to us?
How do we build a community?
How do we support the community? (add value!! some cool (free stuff coming soon on instagram)
Well, you just keep writing blog posts and sharing pics on insta that get this message across. Simples!
Just as well I love blogging and social media. We are on insta as Fleet_Flower or the hashtag #FleetAndFlower and we use insta stories also. We are over Facebook and use it the odd time. But we may be developing it soon....we use Twitter to commit the odd time.
Honestly, starting a business is pure gas. Just when you think you have it nailed something else comes up. And I love that. The constant perspective change. I get to look at things from many sides and I allow space in, I learned that through meditation.
Fleet and Flower is powered through the fleet (community), flower power, and the metaphysical.
Right, I'm off to read me some ACIM, and prep for my upcoming Transcendental Meditation course (squeee!) and read up on CBD oil.

Trump administration says new evidence discredits Russia's claims on chemical attack in Syria – Washington Post
By Missy Ryan, Greg Jaffe and Dan Lamothe,
The Trump administration broadened its assault on Russia's military involvement in Syria on Tuesday, offering new evidence that U.S. officials said showed that Moscow's explanation for a deadly April 4 chemical attack was false.
The new details from a declassified U.S. assessment add to tensions with Russia just as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson makes his first visit to Moscow and presses the Kremlin to drop its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
[Tillerson brings tough line to Moscow over Russia's backing for Syrian regime]
The release of new intelligence findings reflects a mounting determination by the Trump administration to counter Russia's explanation for the mass deaths in a rebel-held Syrian town and to justify last week's decision to launch missile strikes on the air base that officials say was used to mount the attack.
Senior officials said that U.S. signals and aerial intelligence, combined with local reporting and samples taken from victims of the attack, showed that a Russian-made, Syrian-piloted SU-22 aircraft dropped at least one munition carrying the nerve gas sarin on the northwestern town of Khan Sheikhoun.
At least 70 people died of exposure to sarin, including numerous children.
The officials said that nothing from an array of intelligence and publicly available material provided any credence to the alternative account put forward by Syria and Russia, which claimed that routine bombing inadvertently struck an opposition chemical weapons depot.
"We are very confident that terrorists or nonstate actors did not commit this attack," said one senior official who, like others, spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence findings.
Officials said the U.S. government had not yet reached a consensus on whether Russia, whose 2015 entry into the long Syrian conflict provided a lifeline for Assad, knew about the chemical attack ahead of time. But they suggested that it was unlikely that Russian troops, stationed at the air base singled out last week, would have been kept in the dark.
[Where are Russian and U.S. troops in Syria?]
"We do think it is a question worth asking the Russians, about how is it possible that their forces were co-located with the forces that planned, prepared and carried out the chemical weapons attack at the same installation and did not have foreknowledge?" another official said.
The officials blamed the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin for a "clear pattern of deflecting blame" for its actions and those of Assad's government, and for trying to use disinformation to hide the Syrian government's role in what occurred.
"I think it's clear that the Russians are trying to cover up what happened there," the first official said.
The mounting public criticism of Russia takes place as Tillerson touches down in Moscow for talks with senior Russian officials, possibly including Putin.
Signaling a step back from President Trump's earlier suggestions of warmer U.S.-Russia relations, Tillerson issued an ultimatum to Moscow ahead of his trip, asking it to choose between the West on one hand and its alliance with Assad and the Syrian leader's other key backer, Iran, on the other.
The Russian government stepped up its response to events in Syria on Tuesday, as Putin raised questions about the capabilities of U.S. intelligence agencies and asserted that provocateurs were planning to plant chemical materials elsewhere in Syria and blame the Assad government.
For the first time since last week's attacks, the White House described what it said was the Syrian regime's motivation for turning to chemical weapons.
While senior officials declined to say whether they had clear evidence that Assad himself had ordered the attacks, they said that the Syrian military had used the weapons to prevent the loss of a key airfield that was threatened by a recent rebel advance on the strategic city of Hama.
"They were losing in a particularly important area and that's what drove them," said one of the senior officials.
[American strikes against Syria prompt both praise and condemnation]
U.S. intelligence showed that the opposition rebel forces were able to penetrate within a couple of miles of Hama and the key Syrian air base. The base, in particular, has been critical for launching planes used to fend off rebel attacks throughout central Syria. "So that is an air base that the regime had to calculate that it could not lose," said a third U.S. official.
The Assad regime is down to as few as 18,000 soldiers, according to some estimates. U.S. officials said the chemical weapons attack, launched against civilians in an area that has supported the rebels, was intended to help make up for those manpower deficiencies.
Even as the officials explained the regime's strategy for using the weapons, they did not discount the possibility of Russian complicity. "We believe there was an operation calculus that the regime and perhaps its Russian advisers went through in terms of the decision-making," the official said.
He described the use of the weapons as falling within the natural "punch-counterpunch" battle for Hama and the Syrian regime airfield. But the main focus of the White House was not on the Syrian regime but on increasing pressure on the Russians to reduce their support for Assad and the Syrian government.
White House officials described their narrative of the attacks as "clear, concise and definitive."
"This is an opportunity for the Russians to choose to stop the disinformation campaign and make the commitment to accept what happened and work forward to eliminate WMDs from Syria all together," one of the White House officials said, referring to weapons of mass destruction.
