Some Syrian refugees arriving in Jordan are opting to marry off their daughters at a young age believing that marital status offers a form of protection and insurance.
"In Maraq, we have come across around 50 cases of early marriages since the day we started helping out Syrians. Most of them are married to Syrians, especially cousins," said Khaled Ghanem, from the Islamic Society Centre (ISC).
In Jordan and Lebanon, women married to foreigners are taking to the streets to fight for their children's citizenship rights.
In both countries, women who marry non-nationals are unable to confer nationality on their child or spouse, rendering their families foreigners in the eyes of the law, and denying them rights and access to key public services. In contrast, men from those countries who marry foreigners face no such obstacles.
A Christian Jordanian woman named Vivian Salameh is suing her former employer, the Dubai Islamic Bank, for arbitrary dismissal after she was fired a week ago for refusing to comply with her company's dress code, which required her to wear a headscarf that would cover all her hair except for her hairline. Salameh, who had been an assistant manager of corporate operations with the bank, objected to wearing the headscarf on the grounds that a) she never had before and b) doing so would violate her religious beliefs.

What kind of mothers subject their daughters to drudgery, deny them education and threaten them with early marriage and other human rights abuses? The answer, one family's story suggests, are women who've gone through just that themselves.
AMMAN, Jordan (WOMENSENEWS)--Fawzeya, a 70-year-old Palestinian-Jordanian woman living in a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan, raised her two daughters--now 53 and 47--with an iron hand.
A women's group that aims to teach Muslim wives how to "keep their spouses happy in the bedroom" is taking root in south-east Asia, prompting outrage from Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
It's one of the last great taboos: the murder of at least 20,000 women a year in the name of 'honour'. Nor is the problem confined to the Middle East: the contagion is spreading rapidly.

Rights activists call for scrapping a law allowing early marriage for girls
Women rights activists in Jordan are trying to overturn a legal clause which allows girls as young as 15 to be married off.
They say the teenage brides are missing out on education, and many suffer the consequences for the rest of their lives.
Al Jazeera's Nisreen El-Shamayleh reports from Amman, the Jordanian capital.
AMMAN, Apr 22, 2010 (IPS) - Earlier this month, a 33-year-old man was charged with hammering his wife to death and dumping her body on the highway leading to the Queen Alia International Airport. The husband confessed to murdering her ''to defend his honour,'' as she was meeting a male friend.
Also this month local newspapers ran a story about a man allegedly shooting and killing his Moroccan wife and her sister, and injuring her lawyer in the Ain Al Basha area. The wife had filed for divorce and was on her way to court with the lawyer when she was attacked.

The taboo surrounding the cruel murder of family members in the name of honour is slowly being broken
By Khaled Diab
AMMAN - A COURT on Wednesday halved the jail term of a Syrian man who strangled to death his Jordanian wife he suspected of having had an affair with a friend, a judicial official said.
AMMAN: A Jordanian man who killed his unmarried sister and her Syrian lover "to defend the family's honor" has been jailed for six months after the court found mitigating circumstances, a legal
Jordan's criminal prosecutor has charged a 25-year-old man with premeditated murder for allegedly stabbing his sister to death last week.
AMMAN (AFP) – A Jordanian man has been charged with premeditated murder for killing his married sister after seeing mobile phone images showing her having sex, a judicial official said on Thursday.
CASABLANCA, Jan 31 (IPS) - State-directed violence, the refusal to give up the death penalty and the holding of public executions are some of the principal factors that are supporting the continuing resort to the age-old practice of 'honour killings', murder to cleanse a family name of shame.
A 17-year-old girl died after being strangled to death by her brother in a Palestinian refugee camp near the Jordanian town of Jerash .
According to police records, every year 20-25 women in Jordan are killed "in the name of honour", that is, for having an illicit affair."

Gotta agree with you there!! Those old, classic, ball's would be SO much fun! Dress in those super old, 1800's ballgowns, get a guy, and do those waltz's that everybody knows. Where everybody just waltz's around. Too bad not much of anybody else thinks that that is a terrific idea. That's why I never went to a school dance until my senior ball. And I left after an hour and 15 minutes. I just did not enjoy it.

I would sooo love to do something like this, seriously it's a dream of mine. I don't mind school dances, I've gone to all that we've had this year and had a blast but I wish there were special ones that were from a certain period.

That would be soo cool! I'd definitely join in on that one! All learn a waltz, a group waltz, and get one of those renaissance ball gowns! If you figure out a way to do one, count me in! Haha! :)

"Well, my doctrine is as I've described, which is confidence in our cause, clarity in our purpose, and resolve in our might." -- Mitt Romney
In other words, "we are right, we don't question our rightness, and will bomb the hell out of anyone who gets in our way."
From everything that I have read, as long as things stay mostly the same, Iran will be able to eventually produce a nuclear weapon if they want to. Romney has stated in absolute terms (and of course doesn't seem to question himself) that a nuclear-armed Iran can not exist. When an inevitable action meets an absolute response there can be only one outcome.
If this wasn't bad enough, Romney is surrounding himself with a pack of neocons. E.g. John Bolton for whom bombs are the very first diplomatic option on the table. He also has a number of foreign policy advisors who are board members of Foreign Policy Initiative, a neoconservative advocacy group. These are a lot of the same guys who gave us the Iraq masterpiece. Trigger-happy fearmongers with a fetish for blowing humans into little pieces.
How long do we think Russia and China are going to stay on the sidelines after Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and supporting Georgia in her attack on Russia. One more, two more? These are very big boys with lots of world shaking destruction at their fingertips. Iran is not Arabs- they are Persians and go back a long why in history. If Iran is attacked we'd all best get down on our knees and do whatever it is one would do in an absolute horrifying crises. Now, if Iran would be the one to attack first, then at least we might have some justification for war- but still the same results would come which any sane person would never want for themselves and family, country and world. If it has to happen let Iran start it.
Over the next two months, you're going to hear that Romney would take your children to sell for medical research. It will come from the same people doing the same thing: fearmongering.

text: Some on this board have stated that for the defense to improve next year, they will need to improve their effort against the run. While conference stats would support such a contention, I'm wondering if Wally Burnham's strategy is to give up a little against the run in order to better defend against the pass. In conference games only, ISU ranked 7th in rushing defense this year (204 yds/game), but the Clones ranked a more respectable 5th in scoring defense - aided by their pass defense (3rd in the conference). While it is incumbent on ISU to work on all facets of the defense this spring, maybe the stats are a bit misleading.

Next mess:
Hedge fund are creating the first security that would be backed by home-rental payments.
The bonds would work similarly to mortgage-backed securities – only the flow of investor returns wouldn't come from monthly mortgage payments, but rather income from rents of thousands of tenants living in formerly foreclosed properties. Sale of such bonds could help investors, such as Waypoint, repay their lenders and raise funds to buy up more foreclosed houses, helping the broader housing market absorb the inventory of vacant homes.

Review of "Hotels.com"
"Worst Service Ever"
We used Hotels.com to book a hotel/apartment in Panama City for a week. The information supplied regarding all forms of contact with the accommodation, we discovered when trying to book an early check in, was all completely wrong. Phone number, address, everything. We were in another part of Panama when we learned this, we called Hotels.com who promised top call back with the correct details, they did not leaving us with the nightmare of trying to contact the accommodation which turned out to not be a hotel but an apartment for short stays with no on site reception, having to find the agent and arrange entry. This took two days, no help from Hotels.com. We complained to Hotels.com and they again did not get back to us. We had to complain many times before getting an embarrassing reply from someone who made the problem into an epic. Just useless!

Jimi Hendrix Park Celebrates Grand Opening June 17
Following years of planning, fundraising and development, Seattle's Jimi Hendrix Park is finally ready for its official debut.
Following years of planning, fundraising and development, Seattle's Jimi Hendrix Park is finally ready for its official debut.
The film originally premiered at Sundance.
In 1968 and America was in turmoil. Protests were at their zenith. Culturally, the country was undergoing changes in movies, television and, especially, music.
On July 31, 1968, with America in the throes of a cultural revolution, the Detroit native brought his one-of-a-kind style to the ArkLaTex.
In 2007, Prince delivered the Super Bowl halftime show that many are judged by, covering Foo Fighters, Queen, Jimi Hendrix and more amidst his own hits.
We speak to the photographer and subject in this 45-year old photo of a young boy onstage at a Jimi Hendrix concert.
Hendrix's infamous appearance on Lulu's show took place on Jan. 4, 1969.
In November 1968, a handful of British record stores banned the Jimi Hendrix Experience's new album from their shelves due to its cover art.
Certain guitarists are known for playing certain makes and models. Jimi Hendrix was quite loyal to the Fender Stratocaster. Former KISS member Ace Frehley has made a good living with the Gibson Les Paul. And AC/DC's Angus Young has a thing for the Gibson SG.
For Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain, the electric guitar he's probably most identified with is the Fender Jaguar. By mid-to-late September, musicians everywhere can channel the late grunge rocker when Fender issues its signature Cobain model Jaguar, which has been built to the unique characteristics of the 1965 edition owned by Cobain.

I visited this facility
October 16, 2014
I am a friend or relative of a resident
My mother-in-law is in the independent part of Porter Hills Village. It's a great place. She loves it. We have friends whose parents have been there and besides, around this area it is a very known place. So we have come across it through word of mouth, it has been there for a long while, and they have a great reputation. The staff is very nice. She has an apartment, and it is nicer than I ever had when I was living in an apartment. It is very nice. My mother-in-law likes the people there. She likes the activities. She loves the food. It has a courtyard, and she is able to have her little pet there. It was just the best fit for her, and she is very happy there. They're all very independent there and they could come and go as they please. She has made friends. I know she plays a lot of cards, participates in book clubs, and all that kind of stuff in this place. It is a very secure place. I would certainly recommend this facility. Out of all of the ones around, it is very nice. It is not the fanciest, but it is very nice. It has a lot of good qualities. It is a community, and you can go there from independent, to the assisted, to the nursing, and to hospice. It is all within one area.

Ancient Discoveries
Airborne Assault
Assault from the air didn't begin with the era of the airplane. The kite bomb was a medieval siege weapon that dropped bombs from a kite over cities. The famous Historian Mike Loades has shown to be an effective weapon in practice, on that ancient discoveries episode.
Maybe this stealth siege weapon was used by the crusaders for that reason I decided to build my own design, I hope you like it.
The kite was completly made out of silk
This kind of incendiary jars were known in the middle ages, they were made out of clay and maybe filled with nafta.

Bones villain Andrew Leeds has landed a pilot at The CW — but as a writer not an actor.
Leeds and his writing partner David Lampson (This One Time with Julia) have inked a deal with the network to pen a one-hour drama pilot based on the book Confessions of a Backup Dancer.
The project, produced by Alloy in association with Warner Bros. Television, follows a young filmmaker who is hired to make a documentary about a world famous pop star and her controversial tour. His life starts to change as he becomes immersed in this foreign world and falls in love with one of the backup dancers.
As TVLine reported, Leeds the actor will next be seen on Grey's Anatomy in a top-secret role. He also has a recurring gig on The CW's midseason thriller Cult.

We have listened and sang along to classic ageless music from across the continent that have had a great influence on the kind of music that we listen to now the likes of Sura Yako by Sauti sol and the likes.
Fela Kuti, Brenda Fassie, Yvonne Chakachaka, Awilo Longomba, San Fan Thomas among others were only a few of the artists that embraced their culture and spread it passionately through their music
Most times, we did not have the slightest idea what the lyrics meant and we still don't but we love the songs either way.
Kenyan artists are now more than ever fusing sounds and coming up with interesting pieces of work that just might create the next generation of oldies classic.
It is a trend that has caught the attention of music lovers. Creativity is a gamble, which means that there is going to be music that will be a sad experiment that will be trashed and a few that makes it to the charts.
Bank Otuch – Vicmass Luodollar ft Octopizzo
This song brought Vicmass into the limelight after he featured Octopizzo on the remix. Being one of the chart-topping hits of 2016, 'Bank Otuch' has become a common phrase among peers, making the song even more famous.
The trick here being that the two rappers opted to use Luo in their song despite creating it for the larger public that probably do not understand a word.
Vicmass just released a single titled Asante Sana where he also fuses English and Luo, which seems to be the style working for him.
Ensobosobo – Cece Sagini
Cece might be a gentle person which shows in her music too. She is however not one to shy away from experimenting with her voice and melodies.
Ensobosobo is a fusion of Kisii, Swahili and English featuring a traditional Kisii artiste named Nyang'au.
The love song is of the alternative house music genre; it incorporates a traditional Kisii instrument known as Obokano and drums as support of the vernacular well-rhymed and delivered lyrics.
In the video, she also uses a theme that familiarly brings you close to message in the song.
Love you – Elani
The trio are known for their style of music that has always been a blend of more than one sound usually neo-soul and alternative Rn'B.
It does not come as a surprise when they made Love you their new hit. The song is a celebratory of love and the emotional state associated with the completion that comes with finding love.
The dancers, the environment and the instruments are a definite completion of the theme.
Wamiel - Suzanna Owiyo
Suzanna is not a mainstream artiste, though an iconic figure in music. She has survived and surpassed most by just embracing her roots from the get-go.
Festivities do not know tribe or age and that is what is depicted in Wamiel as a song and the video.
Butere – Octopizzo
You might know this as the song that brought controversy when Kevin Provoke was not acknowledged as producer but that is beside the point.
Octopizzo is known to hail from Kisumu but he chose to sing about Butere because he felt like it would be the most neutral standpoint to take when addressing the African culture in Kenyan music videos.
In the video, he also wears the same outfit his father wore two decades ago when taking a family photo when he was a child.
The audio and the video are a break from his usual lyrical prowess and lavish videos repetitively.

Taylors of Harrogate wanted to run a social campaign about their speciality fruit and herbal tea range. We came up with a campaign centred on one of nature's heroes: the bee. This was a timely topic, with lots of 'buzz' (yes) online about sustainability and the future of the bee population. And it's an important part of Taylors ethical approach to their work. So we decided to reward the bees for their role in creating some of nature's most incredible flavours…
We worked with food futurologists The Robin Collective to design and build a seriously-researched, genuinely functional luxury hotel for bees. The film and surrounding campaign were fantastically received. As well as racking up 1m+ views and a great range of press coverage, we were also delighted to see endorsements and complimentary feedback from serious environmental organisations and sustainability charities. Plus, of course, the bees themselves loved it.

(Repeats Oct 3 story with no change to text)
MILAN, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Italy's Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan said on Monday he did not see the need for state intervention in Italian banks.
Troubled Italian lender Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena has agreed a new restructuring plan based on a 5 billion-euro ($5.61 billion) capital boost and the sale of 28 billion euros worth of bad loans.
But there is growing concern it may have to turn to the government for support.
Speaking in a public interview, Padoan said he did not see any alternative rescue plans for Monte dei Paschi.
"At this moment the bank is preparing an overall plan that I think is a good one," he said.
The minister also said that if a lender like Deutsche Bank had problems, the impact would be felt on European and global systems. ($1 = 0.8918 euros) (Reporting by Elvira Pollina, writing by Stephen Jewkes; editing by Agnieszka Flak)

Finance is a discipline that is more and more inclined in value determination and decision making. It emphasizes on reallocating resources that includes investing, managing and acquiring of available or hidden resources.
The concepts on which finance works and depends upon are: Time, money and risk. Determining the relationship among the three concepts and their management is a primary purpose of finance. The main facilitators of finance and funding are banks. The game starts from the credit provision. But, nowadays, hedge funds, mutual funds and other financial assets have become a part of it. Financial assets are managed to control financial risks.
Finance can be of personal, public and corporate in nature. To achieve the objectives, using the correct methodologies and instruments of finance is crucial. Finance is an essential aspect of Business Management, because financial planning works as a backbone for a new enterprise, while money and funds management secures the future of the enterprise and the owner as well.A Finance dissertation and essay should essentially involve:
• Activity of providing funds• Provide or obtain funds, or money• Management of assets and money• Buying or selling on credit

It is must to understand the pros and cons of the topic for Finance dissertation because it's technical by nature. A Finance dissertation should be of problem solving in nature, and must be written after thorough research and analysis.
Finance is basically a branch of Economics, which emphasizes on management of the resources, investment and acquisition. It primarily deals with the issues regarding market and money.

We are more than half way through 2015 and dwelling commencements have reached an all-time record high of 203,706 in the year to March, an increase of 15.6 per cent year-on-year.
While the building and construction industry is doing the heavy lifting in the economy, a shortage of tradespeople and apprentices is threatening future productivity.
According to research in the Apprentices and Trainees 2014 Annual Report by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), overall commencements of apprenticeships and traineeships decreased by 21.9 per cent from 2013 to 2014, with non-trade commencements down 25.3 per cent.
The report showed that 2.7 per cent of Australian workers were employed as an apprentice or trainee as at December 2014, compared with 3.3 per cent in 2013.
Within the trades, 10.6 per cent of workers were employed as an apprentice or trainee as at December 2014, compared with 12.3 per cent in 2013.
For the building and construction industry specifically, since 2010 to 2014 the construction trade apprentice commencements has decreased by 18 per cent, from 24,400 to 20,000, although it is pleasing to note that year-on-year there has been an increase of 12 per cent in construction trade apprentice commencements.
However, against a reported projected completion rate of 31 per cent, this equates to only 6,200 apprentices going on to complete their construction trade apprenticeship. This falls far short of the required apprentices to meet the needs of the building and construction industry into the future.
Master Builders predicts the industry will require an additional 300,000 people over the next decade, nearly a 30 per cent increase on the current workforce of 1,033,000 people. Building and construction is the third strongest industry sector employment growth in the past decade, but there is a risk that poor apprentice commencements and completions could cause a significant skills shortage in coming years.
There is a need for new thinking and action on apprenticeships now before a serious skills shortage heavily impacts on the building and construction industry.
To provide leadership on the looming crisis, Master Builders has prepared a paper, Towards 2020: Policy for Australian Apprenticeship Reforms, which aims to provide solutions to stop the decline in construction trade apprentices.
The benchmarks for Australia's Policy for Australian Apprenticeship Reforms outcomes are:
- 80 per cent of the construction workforce holding a post-school qualification (currently 60 per cent)
- Commencements reaching 30,000 per annum, up by 50 per cent on current commencements of 20,000
- 100,000 apprentices in training, up 132 per cent from current apprentices in training of 43,100
- Quality training outcomes with pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programmes delivering site-ready and productive apprentices to an appropriate level determined by industry
- Introduction of a national building and construction skills passport
- Introduction of a construction industry and school partnership programme that will support quality vocation and vocational outcomes in schools led by industry
- Support mentoring programmes that have demonstrated evidence of increasing apprentice completions
- Support for early intervention language, literacy and numeracy programmes that support apprentice completions
- The establishment of RTO and GTO networks to facilitate industry and RTO/GTO engagement to minimise duplication and improve quality training
- A review of training packages to deliver the qualifications and skill sets that meet modern employer requirements and funding policies in the states that support greater flexibility in VET
- Provide teacher professional development and teaching materials that assist in the teaching and learning of construction in schools.
While Towards 2020: Policy for Australian Apprenticeship Reforms aims to address the decline in construction trade apprentices, the industry must also look at other challenges affecting the current workforce, such as an ageing workforce and an extremely low female participation rate in the trades.
Let's calls on all governments to work together to revitalise VET. Let's push for a truly National VET system that supports new entrants in the construction industry as well as upskilling our existing workforce to ensure a globally competitive workforce.
Having been an advocate for the changes required to sustain our falling numbers of properly trained apprentices and personal within the building Construction Industry for a number of years now (five years) in fact I approached the MBAV with a new format for training in 2013 with a meeting held in Albert st Melbourne at that time,…. unfortunately the lack of supportive funding placed that on hold.
I believe that the basic fundamentals that we are instilling into our new tradesmen and women is lacking substantially , we are no longer teaching our apprentices the skill sets they require to go on and become major contributors to our industry.
Skills that are fast becoming extinct in our industry and even worse we no longer teach how to apply and adapt those skills for the betterment of our Industry.
This is a real worry and reminds me of a country I visited where everyone claimed to be a law, medical or teaching professional but had to seek employment in unrelated work as the job market in these areas were flooded. Trade jobs did not share the same prestige however offered more attractive salaries. To say it's complex is an understatement.

The European Court of Justice issued a surprise ruling May 13 that raised some eyebrows — and a stink — on both sides of the pond.
Individuals in Europe may now petition Google, and other search engines with revenue in the European Union, to remove some third-party links, not the content itself, that surface in search results about them.
Many reacted with dark predictions of a jackbooted, Stalinist future. "This overreaching judgment is far more likely to aid the powerful in attempts to rewrite history," said The Guardian. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales labeled the ruling "one of the most wide-sweeping Internet censorship rulings that I've ever seen." Here at home, The New York Times editorial board concluded its op-ed noting that, "lawmakers should not create a right so powerful that it could limit press freedoms or allow individuals to demand that lawful information in a news archive be hidden."
Laudable words — but they're arguments for a different debate.
This is not about free speech — but the reaction is a very good indicator of the false equivalency we've all bought into: Google equals the First Amendment. Let's be clear: Google is an excellent machine, arguably the finest in the world today. But it's not free speech. It is a computational engine — and even very, very good computers are as fallible as the people who make them.
Google surfaces content based on its famously secret algorithm. Contrast that with a news outlet like this one, for which journalists must interview sources, include balanced perspective, answer to editorial oversight, etc. When journalists represent something unfairly or incorrectly, they must make public corrections. Not so with Google. But real human beings, with feelings and families and opportunities and achievements, are behind the names we search. If what turns up is something embarrassing, unfounded, obsolete or untrue (think an ex's blog or revenge porn), then our opinions take shape based on faulty data. That's wrong — and until last week, you could not effectively appeal this data's inclusion.
Critics have said that the law can be misused. That's true — but it's also the case for laws that enable gun ownership, regulate banks and govern our tax code. Show me a law that does not carry some risk of misuse and I'll show you a law that does absolutely nothing and benefits no one. As "proof" of the decision's flaws, people have pointed out that pedophiles and politicians have already begun petitioning Google to make negative content disappear. But the ruling includes a massive exception for content that's in the public interest, which I wholeheartedly support. Such an exception should, I believe, include public figures like politicians and people who pose a threat to the common good, such as criminals.
Uncharted waters are tricky. The ruling has set new parameters but its practical shape is as yet unknown. It will take significant time and effort for the relevant EU data protection authorities, working with Google and the other major search engines, to determine its operationalization. There's no question, however, that it can be done.
Google now has a very efficient process for removing reported copyright infringement — that, too, was once new and untested. It's fair to believe that the search engine giant can implement a similarly smooth and orderly procedure for reviewing and processing opt-out requests in accordance with the law.
What's really at stake here is power: whether we believe that we, in this digital age where information lasts forever, should have some measure of agency or if we should cede our power entirely to the machine.
I'm with the court: Human dignity is important, precious and deserves legal standing.

CFS Collective
The number one complaint I get from those with Chronic Illness?
Nobody understands what it's like. Nobody gets it.
I know exactly what it's like to spend hours and hours on your own, feeling totally lost and not knowing exactly when it's all going to end. My recent experience with a nasty hip injury, as well as 10 years with CFS/M.E., has really brought this terrible feeling of isolation back to be with a thump.
Well, I think it's time to try and help anyone out there who's been feeling like this. My heart goes out to you, and I really needed to take action in some way.
What is the CFS Collective?
The CFS Collective is a way of enabling those with Chronic Illness or with an interest in the Chronic Illness Community to come together and share stories and support.
You can communicate with your partner as little or as often as possible, but it's all about knowing that someone else gets it and you can support each other in whatever way you like- sharing stories, quotes, friendship and wellness tips.
How does it work?
After paying the one-time only fee and processing your application, you will be taken to a Google form in which you will fill in some information about you and what you're looking for in a partner or Collective friend.
I will then pair you up with another member of the community as soon as I am able and as soon as there's a suitable match for you.
You will be matched based on your interests and preferences in a partner.
Is it like a Chronic Illness Forum?
No, this is not a chronic illness forum- it's unlike any other chronic illness community. You will simply be communicating with another member of our community via email initially. You are then free to share other contact details (i.e. phone numbers, Facebook details) afterwards if you would like to.
What if I don't get on with my partner?
I completely understand- we're all different! If this is the case, you can just contact me and I'll try and pair you up with another member of our community asap. Please understand that I can only match you up to 3 times if friendships are unsuccessful.
What are the advantages of the CFS Collective?
Support in your ongoing wellness journey, keeping the vibes and support high, and sharing stories with a like-minded person who knows what you're going through and what you'd like to achieve in life.
In a nutshell, it's beautiful, shiny, warm and worth its weight in gold.
What is included
- Collating and going through all of your personalised data.
- A bespoke matching service, so I can find you the perfect buddy.
- Once I've found your partner, you'll receive all their details in an email along with a set of Collective guidelines.
- A follow-up email from me a few weeks into your communication (after which, you're on your own!)
- Up to 3 changes in partner if you don't get on (hopefully, this won't happen!)
- A special bonus! (see below)
Special Bonus!
As an added extra bonus, if you sign up to the CFS Collective, your name will also be added to a special mailing list (separate from my regular mailing list), and you'll receive special updates, tips on how to listen and communicate effectively, special articles and general warm, fizzy feelings! Yey!
Obviously, it goes without saying that any bad language, disrespect or crossing of boundaries between friends might result in your membership being stopped without refund. You should respect the boundaries of your partner and know that they might not be able to reply to you immediately.
Some of these guidelines are covered in this little video:

Important Notes
After purchasing, please make sure you read the on-screen information to be taken to a Google form, where you'll be able to fill in all of your personal details and what you're looking for in a partner.
It will then take me a little while to match you with someone else who I think is suitable for you- please be patient. It will be SO worth it!
I'd love to have you on board my love- I'm so excited for you to get in touch with someone who understands.
Sending you so much love- thank you for your love and support,
(P.S. Please share this with any of your friends and relatives who would benefit from it- it might just make their day.)
Not for you?
It's all good! Thank you so much for your interest anyway. Maybe one of my e-books or freebies takes your fancy?

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "The King Loves" Episodes 1-2
Won (played by Im Si-wan) and Lin (played by Hong Jong-hyun) are brothers. Won is small, impulsive, and reckless. Lin is patient, thoughtful, and tall. For most of the first episode we get into a fairly complicated and beautifully choreographed backstory about how Won and Lin were witness to the tribulations of Eun-san (played by Yoona), a girl who was on the wrong end of a bunch of assassins.
To be honest I wasn't totally that enamored with the first episode of "The King Loves" because while it looked cool, almost all of the action was being initiated by characters who lacked screen presence. The main important establishing storytelling it does is by showing off all those kickin' rad Goryeo era costumes. As is usually the case for Goryeo dramas, all of the characters, even the women, are unusually aggressive, so no poking around with obscure court procedures here.


text: Hi. I just installed a screen shot application from GIKSoft. When I started it, it asked for root permissions and wrote that only rooted phones could use the app. I have rooted my phone, but I can't see why this app need these permissions. Is this a bad application or is it normal for an screen shot app to need this? I don't need root permissions on my normal linux machines in order to take screen shots.

I tend to stay away from politics in my work and writing but there is an issue that is very important to the care of our pets. Governor Cuomo has proposed tuition relief (actually free tuition for qualified students) at public universities and colleges. Why do I care? I know, my kids are out of school, no personal benefit to me. Wrongo!
The staff that takes care of your pets at Crawford Dog and Cat Hospital is composed of a dedicated group of trained individuals. Some, like receptionists and assistants have been trained on the job, over many years with us. Others, like the doctors and technicians have formal educations and are licensed by the state. We currently have two licensed technicians on staff, Kim Green and Ellie Abrams. these two are responsible for all nursing care, in house diagnostics, (lab work and radiographs), surgical prep, anesthesia, you name it they do it. The state requires a t last an associates degree and then they need to pass an examination. Associate degrees are offered locally at SUNY Farmingdale, LaGuardia College, and Delhi. We are fortunate to have these two on our staff, but there is a shortage of qualified technicians here in New York. Tuition assistance would help individuals that want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine to get a leg up without becoming swamped in student loan debt.
So, when this issue comes to the forefront, think of your pets and the care they deserve and support tuition assistance at our public colleges and universities.
In the past few months I've seen two heartbreaking cases of dogs that were diagnosed with acute renal failure that probably could have been prevented. But before we talk about failing kidneys, let's talk about what healthy kidneys do for our pets. (and us for that matter).
The major functions of the kidneys is to filter waste products of the blood into the urine, maintain a state of homeostasis (constant state in the body), and stimulate red blood cell production. There are other hormonal functions but let's stick to the biggies here. When we do a blood test and tell you that your pet's kidney function is good, we are actually measuring the levels of Urea Nitrogen and Creatinine (two toxic by products of protein metabolism). these levels will be maintained within a narrow normal range until about 75% of the filtering units (glomeruli) in the kidneys are damage. Kidney function can also be evaluated by measuring the concentration of the urine as well as looking for things in the urine that shouldn't be there, such as protein and cells. When the filtering units are damaged, the waste products build up and the condition is called azotemia, or uremia. hen the tubules ( different part of the kidneys) are damaged, we will see dilute urine or cast like structures in the urine. Leaking membranes in the glomeruli may allow the filtering of wast products but facilitate the leakage of protein into the urine. When caught early, the progressive nature of renal disease can often be mitigated. However, once the glomeruli are damaged, they are gone, and no new ones will replace them.
We had a dog present to the clinic a few months ago. It lived in Nassau county, never went out east, mostly lived in the yard in a suburban environment that was not particularly wooded. This labrador was not feeling well and when blood work was performed, it was in azotemic (elevated BUN/Creatinine) renal failure with severe levels of protein in the urine. It was also positive for exposure to Lyme disease. The owners had not vaccinated it against Lyme disease because they did not think it was at risk for exposure. Indeed it was at low risk based on life style assessment, but no dog on Long Island is at no risk. They also were not using any flea or tick control. Lyme nephritis is a kidney disease caused by the body's reaction to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. (Note Lyme not Lyme's). Unfortunately for this dog, once the kidneys are involved, the prognosis is guarded. In fact, this dog did not make it and was put to sleep after a week in the hospital receiving intensive care. While we do not see a lot of dogs in our practice that are ill with Lyme disease, we do see many that are exposed to the bacteria and therefore at risk. This is why we recommend testing every dog every year for heartworm and tick borne diseases. we also recommend tick control for all dogs.
The second dog presented two weeks ago with a rapidly worsening, acute renal injury. This young German Shepherd Dog was losing weight, not eating, and had decreased energy, His blood work showed a worsening azotemia, increased levels of protein in a dilute urine, and he tested positive for leptospirosis, a bacterial disease. Leptospirosis is spread by the urine of infected animals, in our area, dogs, raccoons, mice and rats. While usually more common in the summer, it is obviously around all year here on Long Island. It's prevention is complicated by the fact that there are many serovars (types of Lepto bacteria), and the vaccination only covers the 4 most common and virulent. Many clients are reluctant to vaccinate because they have read that the vaccine causes reactions, or is dangerous. The truth is that while vaccine reactions do occur, most often, they are similar to the type of reaction we get when we get a flu vaccine or a tetanus shot. And while we hate our dogs to have any reaction, it is better than renal failure. Lepto is also contagious to people so having a dog that is unknowingly shedding this bacteria in the urine puts all of us at risk. This puppy (he is only 2 1/2 years old) is still undergoing treatment with antibiotics and Intravenous fluids. It looks like he may make it but will most likely have permanent damage to it's kidneys.
We have to remember that there are many diseases that can affect our pets (and sometimes us). prevention is always better than treatment. While vaccination is not always a completely benign procedure, modern vaccine science has come a long way in our fight to protect our pets from infectious diseases.
I'm going to digress from my trending posts on things clients say and move onto things dogs eat. It has been an interesting (translates to busy) pre holiday season which explains the missed posts. We had two cases come in, both dogs that had eaten something that they shouldn't have. The cases are different, but there is a common thread that I thought everyone might appreciate.
Friday is here again and the Turkey coma is almost passed. Actually, I will be having daily turkey comas for a couple more days. Anyway, I wanted to share another client misconception. It's the "Hey Doc, he's a little stiff on the stairs but I don't think he's in pain because he doesn't cry", misconception.
Here's the deal, if your dog is stiff, slow to rise, or limping (even if it is a subtle limp), he is in pain. (I've picked the male gender for this patient because we tend to be worse about this particular oversight than female owners. Don't know why, just an observation)
Think about it. When was the last time you had a limp? Why were you limping? I bet it was because your leg hurt. The same goes for when you have a tough time on the stairs, or can't get up off of the ground after playing with a grandchild, the challenge is due to pain in a joint or your back. The pain is real and can be debilitating.
Dogs and cats give us subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) signs of pain and discomfort. Abnormal movement, decreased activity, missed jumps, you get the picture. While these changes are often seen more frequently in older pets, they are not normal and the pain will decrease the quality of life. If you notice these changes or anything similar, it is important to have a complete orthopedic examination at the veterinarian. At that time, the doctor may recommend radiographs to determine the exact nature of the problem and the source of the pain. Then, and only then, can a safe and effective treatment plan be formulated.
We use a multi modal approach to the management of chronic orthopedic pain in our patients. Diet, supplements, medications, laser therapy, joint injections, and stem cell therapy are just some of the weapons in our battle against chronic pain in pets.
If your dog is limping, or if your cat can't jump on the counter or make it into the litter box anymore, give your vet a call and get to the bottom of the problem and relieve your pet's pain.
Reflecting back on the week, I thought that I would share a few of the things that clients have told me about their pets that show just how far we have to go with education. I want to start off, continuing on the theme of last weeks dental post. An oral examination, including the mouth, pharynx, teeth and gums, is part of our regular wellness exams. This past week, I had the opportunity to flip up a dog's lip and show the owner the accumulation of tarter that was caked on the outer surface of all of her dog's teeth. It was at this point where she asked, "Why does he have tarter, he just had his teeth cleaned last year?"
A couple of points here. Checking the records I noticed that it was closer to 18 months ago that the teeth were last cleaned. But we all suffer from distortions of time passage, why I am pretty sure that I am still in my early forties. Be that as it may, when it comes to dental health maintenance, our pets are similar to us in many ways. Some have excellent dental health with minimal intervention. Others need to have work done on a regular basis. As owners, we know that we brush our teeth twice a day. (or we should). Still, we need to have our teeth cleaned at least once a year. Very few pet owners ever brush their pet's teeth. So why is it surprising that they need their teeth cleaned annually?
The truth is, proper dental care, along with good nutrition, and appropriate rational vaccination is one of the three most important things that we can do to improve the quality and longevity of our pet's lives. I cleaned my Cookie's teeth every year for 15 years, until underlying health problems such as cancer and heart disease made the procedure more risky. I attribute her long, basically healthy life to her good oral health. It is important for your pets as well.
While we recognize that dental care can be expensive, routine cleanings are less expensive than the major dental work we have to do when teeth are diseased. However, when even routine care is budget busting, we have several payment options for qualified clients. Most are easier and less expensive to qualify for than you would expect.
So when your veterinarian tells you that your pet needs his or her teeth taken care of it does not matter when they were last treated, they need to be treated again. Let's work to keep those pearly whites pearly white and that breath fresh.

Ricky Dunbar - 77 and still running
When professional runner Ricky Dunbar is asked when he will stop running, his response is succinct. "When I drop."

When professional runner Ricky Dunbar is asked when he will stop running, his response is succinct. "When I drop."
It's the greatest team photo in Australian sporting history. Usually said to have been taken at the MCG on Boxing Day 1866, some claim it was taken in Sydney two months later. But that's the small end of the discussion.
Will there ever be another Muhammad Ali?
Daisy Thomas played well for Carlton against his old club Collingwood last weekend, and I was glad.
Should we be shocked by sport scandals? Not really, The history of sport is as much about human weakness and folly as triumph.
Peter Roebuck remains one of the most interesting characters I have met through sport and, with that in mind, I have just read Chasing Shadows: The Life & Death of Peter Roebuck by Tim Lane and Elliot Cartledge.
A look at the good and bad of the 2015 sporting year.
Tyson Fury is like a tarantula in the ring, long arms and legs swaying about, then he'll lurch forward with clubbing punches which don't look all that damaging. But last Sunday he won the world heavyweight title by landing more blows than his opponent, Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, who had ruled the division like a monarch for the past decade.
Games are ultimately about the players, not the ever-growing number of people who buzz around them. Similarly, what make great games are great players.
It has long intrigued me that the number of boys playing Australian football is said to be dropping because mothers fear their sons getting injured while, at the same time, the number of girls playing football is booming.
