As the snow begins to fall just days before Christmas, Grandad helps Sara build an igloo in the garden, and Sara sculpts a small polar bear to watch over it.

But when Sara awakes in the middle of the night, she finds the igloo is no longer in the garden but lost in a world of ice …and her snow bear has transformed into a real live polar bear cub.

Further research and information on the English Reformation, English Catholic martyrs, and related topics by the author of SUPREMACY AND SURVIVAL: HOW CATHOLICS ENDURED THE ENGLISH REFORMATION
Thursday, February 9, 2012
More on the HHS Mandate and the English Reformation
"If the church teaches it's morally wrong to use birth control, how can you make the teacher pay for the birth control without losing their authority, their moral authority?" Matthews asked today when discussing the Department of Health and Human Services mandate that many religious institutions provide contraception to their employees. "If you can make them do it, they can't teach it anymore."
Matthews recalled the stories of Thomas More and Thomas Becket when explaining his thinking. "I guess I grew up watching movies like Becket and A Man for All Seasons and seeing the church and state go to war with each other and being told stories from the Old Testament about the Maccabees, about people, families being told you got to eat pork," he said. Matthews added that it is "frightening" to him "when the state tells the church what to do."
Thanks very much to my facebook friend, Penny McKelvey, for pointing this story out to me! It just demonstrates that knowledge of history helps us see connections and distinctions in current events. The great difference between the English Reformation and the subsequent Recusant era and the crisis the Catholic Church--and all organized religion in the USA--faces today is that we have a representative democratic republic. The voters have an official voice and can protest against their elected officials. We have a constitution to refer to. The martyrs and the Catholic survivors of the sixteenth and seventeenth century did not have our methods for protest. Even though St. Thomas More brilliantly argued his case at his trial, the verdict and the sentence were already determined.
Catholics in sixteenth century England could either conform to the Church of England or pretend to conform to the Church of England. They could actively work to overthrow the monarch to change the regime and the religion, which meant treason, violence, and probably execution if the rebellion failed. The Catholic martyrs chose to be absolutely true to their faith, certainly, and suffer the consequences of disobeying laws that made Catholic priesthood in England, aiding a Catholic priest in England, attending Catholic Mass in England, or becoming a Catholic in England all crimes punishable by death. Chris Matthews is definitely correct in seeing the English Reformation and now the HHS Mandate as events in the long battle between Church and State.
UPDATE: PLEASE NOTE: I will be on the Son Rise Morning Show Monday Morning, February 13 at 7:45 a.m. Eastern; 6:45 a.m. Central to discuss the connections commentators are seeing between the HHS Mandate and what I call the "Tudor Mandates" (Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy and Elizabeth I's Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity). Listen live here.

Agree. This impacts all of us not just Catholics.ReplyDelete
Exactly; because the issue is not contraception, it's religious freedom! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Well, in all fairness, the English had a constitution, too. Both the unwritten English Constitution and the Magna Carta should have prohibited Henry from doing what he did. Oh well.ReplyDelete
What we have that St. Thomas didn't is a Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
St. Thomas More, the Cardinal Designate Bishop Fisher and the Carthusian charterhouse of London were singular amidst a mass of pseudo Catholics. Do we have any parallels to these hero's today - Scott Roeder et.al. are the closest i can find. These are the opening salvo's of a long battle- the "Reformation" was a pseudonym for a grand exercise in greed, perfidy and lies- as is "women's health issues" - I'd welcome the blog spending time on what was the common persons thinking' at the time - 1535- 1610 - was the pilgrimage of grace a singular event?? in the reformation- what actions if any did the regular people take- i noticed early on that Henry is not buried in Westminster- a place he plundered- is that due to the common man objecting if that were tried or his alleged request to be buried near j seymour?- sorry for mixing too many topics; they are related, if even by only a thread...ReplyDelete
gedda fan, I cover much of what you're looking for about the common person's reaction in my book, Supremacy and Survival: How Catholics Endured the English Reformation. I'd suggest you check it out. The Pilgrimage of Grace was not a singular event and I've covered other uprisings like the 1569 Northern Rebellion and other attempts on this blog, too.ReplyDelete
Titus, both St. Thomas More and Robert Aske cited the Magna Carta in their protests against Henry VIII's Supremacy and the Suppression of the monasteries. As Clare Asquith succinctly states in her Shakespeare code book, "England was not a free society"!ReplyDelete

Hacker News reports that Facebook's market value has been dropping at unprecedented levels due to the new information that came to light about their misuse of users' personal data. Cambridge Analytica, a British analytics firm, obtained personal information about over 50 million users and allegedly helped Donald Trump win the 2016 presidential election. Whistleblower Chris Wylie claims the Cambridge Analytica gathers personal data from a variety of sources to predict citizens' voting patterns and uses that information to target voters with certain advertisements.
Cambridge psychologist Aleksandr Kogan started Cambridge Analytica four years ago when he created an online personality quiz that asked users to provide access to their Facebook data in order to take the quiz. About 270,000 people took the quiz, giving Kogan access not only all of these people's personal data, but that of their Facebook friends as well, allowing Kogan to target over 50 million users with tailored ads, even though these users did not give Kogan permission to access their data.
When a user takes these kinds of personality quizzes and other apps that you access through Facebook, they are granting the app developer access to a variety of information and data. The 'Login with Facebook" option that many websites are using to provide one-click log-ins provide similar permissions. If you would like to stop these websites from having access to your Facebook data, you can go to the Settings>Apps menu on your computer and mobile device and see the apps that you've logged into using Facebook, and edit or remove the permissions that you've granted.
Mark Zuckerberg has apologized for this 'breach of trust,' saying that he should have never allowed third-parties access to that kind of personal data. He blindly trusted Cambridge Analytica, and says it's the biggest mistake that they have made at Facebook since its inception. He claims he is dedicated to making sure it doesn't happen again, and is conducting a 'full forensic audit' to discover which apps took information without complete consent and how Facebook can prevent this kind of security breach in the future. He also says that they will have over 20,000 employees designated to monitor security, but that the true issue lies in government regulations, which he believes should better protect consumer privacy on social media platforms.
Alexander Nix, CEO of Cambridge Analytica, has been suspended after a video surfaced of him discussing using bribes and prostitutes to sway political elections, saying things like how he could send prostitutes to opposing candidates' homes to put them in suspect situations. Cambridge has denied following through on any of Nix's tactics, but their Facebook privacy breach is plenty to make them the biggest scandal in tech.

On Monday, Novell announced that it agreed to be acquired by Attachmate. As part of the US$2.2 billion deal, Novell initially stated that it would sell unspecified intellectual property to a Microsoft-led holdings company. This vague statement led many to wonder whether Microsoft somehow had acquired the Unix copyrights as part of the deal. In March, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah confirmed that Novell owned the copyrights around Unix, ending a seven-year battle between SCO and Novell over ownership rights.Microsoft has also asserted that various bits of Microsoft intellectual property are embedded in Linux — Linux is a version of the Unix operating system kernel — though it has thus far failed to point out the offending code. Novell, however, signed a five-year agreement with Microsoft that would indemnify users of its Linux-based operating system, SUSE, from Microsoft legal action.

A lot of factors impact your health. Diet and Exercise are two very important ones. One, that we don't acknowledge enough is stress normalization. That is when you let stress become a normal part of your life accepting the negative effects as a new normal. It can be just as dangerous as a poor diet or lack of exercise. This article will be a two-part piece. The first part will take the viewpoint of everyone. The second will be for business leaders.
Stress Normalization and the Impact on You!
Stress creeps into our lives early, its sneaky that way. Parents pass it to children, schools enforce it and soon jobs thrive from it. Stress becomes a normal thing along with death, taxes and change. But, that does not mean it is ok!
Stress is a profoundly negative aspect to "modern" lives. We look for miracle diets, new age medicines and other ways to stay young and healthy. The real secret is managing stress and negative emotions. Master those and you could live forever.
In fact stress is not ok, one bit. When we talk about surrounding yourself with the right people, environment, job, etc., we specifically mean to surround yourself with things that do not stress you. Stress is not good, in the same way that getting an injury is not good. It may happen from time to time but that does not make it ok.
Our modern lives tend to accept stress as inevitable and a required right of passage for life and hard times. That is part of the problem, as stress is not inevitable and should be avoided. We need to stand up to stress and make sure we avoid/mitigate it at all costs. Here are some steps you should take right away to reduce stress:
- Identify areas of stress in your life. It may be work, family, friends, even money or budget. That could mean getting a new job, reducing communication with toxic friends or adjusting how you live to reduce financial burdens. Make the changes you need to reduce stress!
- Actively mitigate stress. Sometimes it is not practical to quit your job, or cut off family. You can take steps to mitigate the impact of stress. This could be changing your ringtone for work contacts (alerts and rings can be stress triggers). If work is a stressor, make sure to take time off for breaks with walking or other activity that gets you out of the office. Active mitigation of stress can help reduce its effects, but try to make changes to remove the stress first.
- Take up stress reducing activities. Exercise, mediation, counseling, coaching, mentorship, or just having the right friends and partners. Surrounding yourself with the right people is probably the best step you can take to help reduce stress. It won't help to get rid of stress, but it will help from letting i build up to much.
Leadership Responsibilities and Stress
Leaders have a unique responsibility of trying to reduce or eliminate stress from employees. By reducing stress, you make employees more productive, more empowered, more happy. All around, less stress means more success for everyone.
There are a lot of theories out there about how successful companies become or stay successful. The theories are great, but the true secret sauce is keeping stress in check. Companies that create truly stress-free cultures are more successful and successful longer.
Leaders have a huge impact on the stress levels for an organization. Poor leaders increase stress which can spread like a cancer. Great leaders actively mitigate stress and are equally great at identifying stress before it takes hold.
It all starts with culture. Being a great leader is simple, in an era that creates a lot of confusion and complexity around great leadership. Just create an intentionally positive culture, sounds simple…because it is.
- Make sure everyone knows why they are on the team. Mission, vision, values, etc., choose your methods and implement. Your goal is to ensure everyone understands their value and leadership can help support that value.
- Give everyone a purpose. Knowing why you are apart of a team is not enough. What is the purpose of each person, what is their goal, what do they contribute…etc. This is creating a growth journey for each person by allowing them to focus on it in context of the company.
- Support, support, support. Leadership's benefit is not doing or aligning. It is not getting in front of boards and talking about numbers, projections, or whatever. Leadership's benefit i supporting people. Making them happy, reducing stress, being a beacon of inspiration. The important piece here, reducing stress. That is so critical it is absolutely a critical success factor for any leadership role.
Great leaders are intentional on creating great culture. Great culture fosters inspiration and mitigates stress. It doesn't do it with force, threat, goal setting, timelines or anything like that. Culture becomes great by allowing people the room to be inspired and protecting them from sabotaging stress.

A lightweight styling and finishing foam that adds weightless control and flexible support, to all types of hair. People who need extra body as well as those who have full thick hair will love it because it creates volume, and adds shine and fullness. It allows complete control of your hair without the stickiness or dulling effects of traditional mousse. To insure quality, Fashion Styling Mousse was developed only after consulting with professional stylists to find out what they thought early mousse styling aids were doing right and more importantly what they were doing wrong. We then formulated an easy application Fashion Styling Mousse .The improvements included are these; we created foam that will hold up until it is applied to the hair instead of dripping through your fingers. We discovered a way to keep mousse from drying the hair by using a much lower alcohol content than other mousse, yet it still dries very quickly .The amount of resins used is reduced so it will not flake or dull the hair. To complete this formulation we added a light non-lingering fragrance and a sunscreen to protect the hair from harmful UV rays that can cause hair color to fade.

Two years ago, I posted my almond milk recipe and until now I still get a lot of messages from people asking if I really make my own almond milk or if I just mix it with ready-made almond milk. LOL. Yes, I actually prefer making my own nut milk and honestly it isn't as hard as you think, it just takes some time!
It's important that you leave the almonds to soak in water overnight. And when you blend the soak almonds with fresh water in the morning, that's what creates the white, milky color and texture. Normally, you just add honey and sea salt as a sweetener and for extra flavor, but I also like to use dried fruits. You can also use this process to create other nut milks like cashew milk. I usually like to have a glass of nut milk every day and I also use it in my cooking, like when I make curry dishes.
DIY Almond Milk Morning Smoothie Recipe
– 1 cup of almonds
– water
– honey
– cinnamon
– vanilla extract
– sea salt
– your choice of dried fruits
– 1 frozen banana
– flax seeds
– nut butter
For the almond milk:
1. Soak 1 cup of almonds overnight in water.
2. The next day, throw out the old water and blend the soaked almonds in 1 liter of fresh water.
3. Strain the mixture so you just get the milk and get rid of the leftover almonds.
4. Put the fresh almond milk back in the blender and add your sweeteners and flavor enhancers like honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt. You can also add your choice of dried fruit—I like figs and dates. You can keep this in your fridge for up to three days.
For the smoothie:
1. Add 1 frozen banana, flax seeds, dried fruit like raisins, sea salt, and a nut butter like peanut or almond butter. Blend until smooth!
Et voilà! I like to drink mine on the go 🙂

Officials investigating the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jet carrying 239 passengers as it approached Vietnam early Saturday morning have little to go on and are not currently ruling out any explanation. After initially looking into the usual causes of plane crashes, such as pilot error, mechanical failure, or bad weather, the finding that two of the passengers used stolen passports adds to the mystery.
Other than the two large oil slicks stretching across about 12 miles of the Gulf of Thailand, there is no sign of wreckage. The Pentagon joined the search effort by employing a system that looks for flashes around the world to detect if there were any explosions in the area where the jet disappeared but preliminary data found nothing.
The jet was reportedly in top condition, a reliable Boeing 777 that had passed inspection just 10 days prior to the disappearance and was not scheduled for service in the immediate future. Authorities did not receive any distress signals from the jet prior to losing contact with the aircraft two hours into the flight around 2:40 a.m. The flight left Kuala Lumpur shortly after midnight on Saturday on it way to Beijing, where it was scheduled to land at 6:30 a.m. local time, and according to Chinese air traffic control officials, the jet never entered Chinese airspace. The last signal received placed the jet near the Ca Mau province as it approached the southern tip of Vietnam.
There has been confirmation that the names of an Italian man and an Austrian man that appeared on the manifest of the missing jet match the names of passports that were reported stolen in Thailand. The missing flight has not been labeled an "act of terrorism," as Malaysia Airlines officials stress that the investigation is still in its early stages and they are not ruling out any explanation for the disappearance. As of now, law enforcement officials know that the Italian man reported his passport stolen last August, while vacationing in Thailand. The Austrian man had his passport stolen two years ago in 2012.
There is concern over the lapses in security that would allow stolen passports to process without registering as stolen, but authorities said that in that area of the world, stolen passports and counterfeit passports are regularly used to smuggle drugs. The two passengers using the stolen passports bought the airline tickets from China Southern Airlines, which works in conjunction with Malaysia Airlines. China Southern Airlines said that they also sold five other tickets on the flight.
The U.S., Malaysia, and Vietnam have sent rescue ships and search planes to the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand. China will be sending two naval ships to assist in the search. China is also assembling a team of divers who specialize in emergency rescue and recovery.
Among the 227 passengers and the all-Malaysian crew of 12, there were three Americans. According to the manifest, the three Americans have been identified as Yan Zhang, 2, Nicolechd Meng, 4, and Philip Wood, 51.
At present, Malaysia Airlines is not ruling out any explanation, but what is known is that weather was most likely not a factor. Some light rain and snow fell over southern China but would not have affected the jet cruising at 35,000 feet. The flight also had experienced pilots. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, had logged over 18,000 hours since he joined the airline in 1981. First Officer Fariq Hamid, 27, had just shy of 2,800 hours. A representative for the Beijing International Airport told friends and family of the passengers to head to the Lido Hotel to await any information gathered on the flight.

Although it had been many years since he'd seen Mu Gaoqi, Jiang Chen still hadn't forgotten his brother's unique aura. Mu Gaoqi was born with the natural aura befitting that of a graceful immortal, and his pills also accordingly possessed this unique quality. During his baptism in the wood spirit spring, Mu Gaoqi absorbed some of the spring's intrinsic qualities as well. Naturally, having spent so much time with him, Jiang Chen was quite familiar with his aura.
Therefore, Jiang Chen immediately recognized the pills when he saw them. There was no mistake. These pills had been refined by Mu Gaoqi. They possessed a certain quality that no one else could imitate, not even Jiang Chen himself. He might be able to imitate the wood spring's aura, but he doubted that he could imitate Mu Gaoqi's unique, graceful aura.
What surprised him was that he discovered Mu Gaoqi's pill dao level had improved tremendously. Although these pills weren't considered first rate in Jiang Chen's eyes, they would still be deemed amongst the finest of other similarly-ranked pills. These pills possessed a unique quality that clearly distinguished them from the products of other pill masters in that there was a distinctive, personal label accompanying each of them. This particular discovery gladdened Jiang Chen. Although Mu Gaoqi's recent fate was terrible considering that he had been turned into a slave, at least his cultivation hadn't stagnated.
An innate wood constitution of high order… maybe this trial served as a catalyst, allowing him to tap into the greater potential hidden inside his body and, in doing so, fully unlocked his talents? Jiang Chen had to hide his astonishment at the speed of Mu Gaoqi's improvement as he continued to observe his products. Although he hadn't quite yet reached the level of advanced pill king, he was unquestionably at the level of intermediate pill king This rank didn't imply a lack of strength on Mu Gaoqi's part, however. On the contrary, it was proof of his talent and skill. He was about four years younger than Jiang Chen. It was immensely impressive for someone so young to have already attained intermediate pill king level.
Even the pride and invincible legend of Pillfire City, Pill King Ji Lang, couldn't possibly have surpassed Mu Gaoqi by much when he was his age. In fact, Pill King Ji Lang might not have even been an intermediate pill king when he was in his twenties. Even if he had been, it was unlikely that he'd been as distinguished as Mu Gaoqi currently was.
Mu Gaoqi was literally born for pill dao, having been born with a unique quality that gave him a distinct advantage no one else possessed. Considering how cautious and timid he used to be, the fact that he had been able to become a core disciple solely because of his pill dao merits left no question that he was extraordinarily talented.
Jiang Chen wondered if Mu Gaoqi had managed to free himself now that he had arrived at the Star Harvesters. Despite sensing the familiar presence, his excitement lasted for only an instant, and he quickly regained his calm. He guessed that Mu Gaoqi was likely currently still a slave. After all, the Star Harvesters were clearly trying to put him on the shelf for display and sell him off at a high price. If this truly was the case, there was no way they would allow Mu Gaoqi to free himself.
"Sir, are there any pills that you find to your liking?" Keke suddenly asked after noticing that Jiang Chen had fallen into a daze.
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile. "These pills are pretty good, but they don't look like the work of a first-rate pill king. So, why is the admission fee ten thousand saint spirit stones?"
He purposely asked a question to which he already knew the answer to.
Keke smiled slightly and politely replied, "You've only mentioned these things because you aren't aware of Master Mu's background. You are right in that his pills aren't the best products out there, but Master Mu is only in his twenties. There are only so many twenty-year-old pill kings in the entire human domain, and you won't find a single person who dares to claim that their level is higher than Master Mu's. Don't you think that the creations of a future master in his youth are worth collecting?"
This marketing was extremely well done. Not only did they neatly package Mu Gaoqi as a future first-rate pill dao master of note, but they even topped this assertion off with a nicely-wrapped bow, highlighting the pills he created during his youth. These promotional skills were truly impressive. Jiang Chen smiled. "These products aren't bad, but they aren't entirely flawless either. Personally, I don't think that they're worth collecting."
Keke's brilliant smile immediately turned into one of slight embarrassment. With reddened cheeks, she rebutted, "Well, even so, many people have purchased Master Mu's products for their personal collection."
"Wealth makes people foolish," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile on his face.
"Sir, you may be a customer of the Star Mill, but please don't insult the products we make, especially Master Mu's," Keke protested in a very serious tone. Even she maintained her professionalism as a store assistant, she still felt a little unhappy when she heard Jiang Chen's comments.
Jiang Chen shrugged. "I'm just telling the truth. Even Master Mu wouldn't dare claim that these pills of his are perfect. If I were to take a guess, these products are only as perfect as the Star Mill's packaging."
"Sir!" Miss Keke's appearance was like that of an angry lamb. Lambs were born docile, so whenever she grew angry, she looked unusually attractive.
"Fine, fine. If you won't accept the truth, then just pretend like I didn't say anything."
If Miss Keke hadn't previously accepted his admission fee, she might have kicked him off this floor already. Jiang Chen circled around the area another two times.
"Miss Keke, is Master Mu in at the moment?" Jiang Chen asked in a seemingly casual tone.
However, Miss Keke still gave off the impression that she was angry with him. She cast him a slightly resentful glance but didn't give him an answer.
"Well, I guess he'd be ashamed of showing his face around here. After all, his pills are being blown way over the top even though they're obviously imperfect. Not even he could be that thick-faced."
This time Miss Keke was truly angry at him. She protested loudly, "Please conduct yourself with dignity, sir. If Master Mu's products are not up to your liking, you can always choose to return to a lower floor!"
Her raised voice immediately drew everyone's attention. They couldn't help but stare at Jiang Chen with a bit of hostility when they saw that such a sweet-tempered girl had lost her cool because of him. They obviously thought that he lacked tact, having incited such a sweet and charming girl into angrily raising her voice. What kind of an outrageous person was he?
Jiang Chen was obviously doing this on purpose. Him beating around the bush and criticizing Mu Gaoqi's products non-stop was to see if Mu Gaoqi himself would show up. Unfortunately, his attempts didn't yield any results. In fact, he had irritated Miss Keke instead. Jiang Chen hadn't intended to butt heads with her.
A well-dressed middle-aged man, giving off the appearance of the person in charge, walked over with a frown. He looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "What's wrong, my friend?"
The middle-aged man appeared a bit impressive. Jiang Chen guessed that he probably held a higher position in the Star Mill. He smiled and glanced at the pills. "Oh, it's nothing. I simply thought that Master Mu's products aren't as good as you promoted. I'm just a little surprised that you would charge ten thousand saint spirit stones for this."
"My friend, anyone can make baseless accusations, can't they?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly. "Master Mu's products may not be considered to be at the zenith in terms of their quality, but he's only in his twenties right now. These products are impressive enough considering how young he is. If you still wish to nitpick his work, then maybe you shouldn't come to the Star Mill."
His words made sense. The other customers also echoed, "We are here to gauge Master Mu's potential."
"Yeah, Master Mu is incredibly young. We can't evaluate him by the standards of a ninth-rank pill king. After all, every ninth-rank pill king out there is at least hundreds or thousand of years old."
"Exactly. That a pill king in his twenties could create pills of such high quality is already an incredibly impressive feat. He's absolutely a pill dao genius, the likes of which appears only once every five millennia."
"Five millennia? I doubt you could find someone like this even in the span of ten millennia." The crowd shot out their individual opinions, but they all praised Mu Gaoqi's products unanimously. Jiang Chen hid his amusement. If he didn't know any better, he would have suspected that these people were supporters hired by the gang.
Even Jiang Chen himself admitted that Mu Gaoqi's work was incomparable to most for his age. However, he also wasn't lying when he said that these products were imperfect. When he'd made those remarks, he wasn't referring to the creator's expertise in pill dao, but rather, the mental knot that existed within the pills themselves. It was almost as if the creator of the pills had been shackled and unable to work freely.
Only sophisticated pill masters could have noticed this. Jiang Chen knew very well that this strange mental entanglement hidden within the pills was related to Mu Gaoqi's current circumstances. From examining these pills, he deduced that Mu Gaoqi was still a slave, and because of this, his creations lacked a certain sense of freedom and fulfillment.
Although Mu Gaoqi's graceful qualities were extremely distinct in his pill products, so too was a lack of freedom. Jiang Chen ignored their comments. He said indifferently, "It seems that the Star Mill only intends to receive praise but not criticism. I suppose I have said too much if that is the case. How unfortunate. If the creator of this pill were here, I'd shut him up so thoroughly that he wouldn't even be able to respond."
The person in charge sneered. "Are you trying to say that you wish to challenge our Master Mu to a pill battle? Am I correct to interpret your words as a challenge to the Star Mill?"
Jiang Chen smiled. "Challenge the Star Mill? Have you ever seen someone challenging a pill store alone?"
"Then what exactly do you mean?"
Jiang Chen said indifferently, "What I'm trying to say is that the Star Harvesters currently own an exceptional genius, a treasure trove, yet you've only dug out a portion of his potential. Worse, you're satisfied with keeping it this way and plan to sell him once his value reaches a certain threshold. This is truly amusing."
Suddenly, Jiang Chen was praising Mu Gaoqi but belittling the Star Harvesters. This change in stance confused the person in charge as to Jiang Chen's true motives.
"Who are you really, friend? You've come here to cause trouble, haven't you?" The middle-aged man's face turned chilly as his tone turned unfriendly. It was clear that he thought that Jiang Chen was a hooligan trying to stir up trouble.

In today's fast tracking life people have less time, ability and energy to cook. In a fast pacing city person's life an ideal situation would be getting as much as help to cook. It maybe difficult to believe but augmented reality can help us in cooking as well. There is need and there is technology available. Augmented reality can bridge this gap between consumer, product and product content. The ability to overlay additional information, visual stimulus and interaction on top of specific items give product companies the chance to combine the digital world with the physical one in a targeted and seamless way.
The seamless technology of order, delivery on time and AR enhanced glasses with instructions all exist; but not completely used altogether yet. However imagine, after you ordered ingredients for your dish, everything arrives on time. Your AR glasses is equipped with recipe you need to make the pot. You can see the description of the recipe and you can see the AR guidelines to cut, displaying on the vegetables. Basically you can easily cook with AR, even if you don't have much experience. This could be for your daily cooking routine or learning how to cook.On the flip side, augmented reality allows training and execution by layering additional information on top of a users direct view.
You can also use augmented reality displays to train your employees. AR can directly provide information and details in the kitchen. You wont need any books, pens or paper.
In the bellow video you can see one of our case from cxocARd related with AR Kitchen , AR Cooking , AR Training
The AR application ServAR can estimate portions. Accurate estimation of food portion size is a difficult task. Visual details are important clues of portion size and therefore technology-based aids may assist consumers when serving and estimating food portions.
Users of the system generally found the tool easy to use and agreed that it showed potential to support optimal portion size selection. However, some refinements to the tool are required to improve the user experience. ServAR demonstrates potential as a practical tool to guide the serving of food.
And finally, computer scientists from Kyoto Sangyo University in Japan have put together a demo kitchen that senses when you lay a fish down on the counter. The system is able to find the fish's outline and orientation. Then ceiling-mounted projectors beam down a virtual cut line and knife while a speech bubble appears from the fish's mouth, giving step-by-step instructions on how to filet it.
This setup also works for onions, but nothing else yet. The researchers must program each food preparation technique manually. Therefore, building up the system's library is slow. The lead researcher Yu Suzuki stated, he and his colleagues plan to automate the instructions in the future.
As AR headsets begin to decrease in price and more developers work with AR/VR. It's likely more and more companies will begin to trial and test these new learning platforms.
Visual enjoyment is a major part of any eating and drinking experience and brand names embrace virtual overlays as a way to educate, inspire, and prompt consumers to action.
Big brands are already repeatedly using AR outreach, but it still needs momentum from creators, developers and marketers to make it accessible for anyone and everyone.
As an Augmented Reality service provider. You can easyly create an augmented reality experience for your audience.

A New Church to be Planted in Miyako
On 16th Dec (Sun), Morioka Bible Baptist Church blessed three missionaries being sent forth to plant a new church in Miyako.
Our Network has been involved in the city of Miyako from the earliest moments the 3.11 Disaster struck the place, providing assistance to the disaster victims and in the rebuilding of communities, in partnership with a local church there. Catherine Porter of WEC International, who has been working with the community there since 2016, and David & Tomo Robison of JEMS are the three being sent forth to build up a new church.
At Morioka Bible Baptist Church, one of the core churches of The 3.11 Iwate Church Network, the congregation had been praying and preparing for a new church plant since last year. This year, they also officially started up a committee for this purpose.
Our Network will continue our partnership with the existing local church, while also partnering with the new church plant. Please continue to pray for blessings upon the local community.

http://www.skepdic.com/essays/myersbriggscode.html The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.[1]:1 These preferences were extrapolated from the typological theories proposed by Carl Gustav Jung and first published in his 1921 book Psychological Types (English edition, 1923).[2]
The test hasn't held up scientifically, but over the latter half of the 20th century the "people sorting" questionnaire was widely embraced by major companies, the U.S. government, and the culture at large. Emre traces the origins of the test in her new book The Personality Brokers.
April 5, 2017 at 1:05 pm Promote this Tweet At first the test struggled for recognition. The role of eugenics in Nazi ideology made discussion of personality types controversial. Academics balked, seeing Jung as a mystic and Isabel's questionnaire the result of untested armchair philosophy. She ignored the sceptics and sought commercial backers. The test she devised classifies people along four axes: introversion against extroversion; sensing against intuitive; thinking against feeling; and judging against perceiving. It supposes every person has a dominant preference within each pair, neatly allocating all humanity into one of 16 precise personality types.

These Personality Traits Could Put You At Risk for Social Media Addiction By the mid-1950s, Isabel's clients were the largest utilities and insurance companies in the United States. They regularly spent upwards of $50 a year on test booklets and answer sheets. The Home Life Insurance Company of New York purchased it twice—first to determine whether an applicant would make for a successful life insurance salesman, and then to calculate whether a life insurance applicant should pay a larger premium on his insurance. (According to Isabel's summary of her results, extraverted intuitive types — ENTPs and ENFPs — were more likely to exhibit risk-taking behavior.) General Electric asked Isabel to type their highest-ranking executives to develop a theory about the contributions of a man's type to his managerial success. "Under all the shifting problems that cross an executive's desk lie three basic necessities," Isabel wrote:

Thank you Leah and Pamela for your rebuttal. As an MBTI practitioner of many years, I find that poor instruction prior to administration of the Inventory, along with a propensity these days for people to "self-interpret" results of inventories of this type, leads to mistaken outcomes notions and over-generalizations. Only trained practitioners should be administering and interpreting results. The notion of "traits" discoveries from the MBTI that others speak of here is bogus. The Inventory does not measure traits. It measures preferences and there is no "strength" and "weakness" philosophy behind it. Preferences are on a continuum of "clear" or not, and yes, can vary according to an environment (ex: work vs. home). A truly trained practitioner sorts out and appropriately explains this when working with a client. This is not a self-help tool, nor for untrained interpreters.

Let's get this straight: Rafa Benitez makes some seemingly odd decisions.
Last year he took off Steven Gerrard at Wigan in a game Liverpool had to win to maintain their title challenge. This season, he's substituted our best player, Yossi Benayoun, in matches against Lyon and Fulham, just when we needed him most. He's stubborn, thinks too much about the next game and once wore a dreadful stonewash jeans-and-suit jacket combination at Wrexham in a friendly last year.
He's also one of the greatest managers in the world.
People – and I include a lot of Liverpool fans in this – are so used to the Reds being a dominant force that they ignore the perilous position that the club is in at the moment. For anyone under the age of 45, Liverpool have always been at the top of the English football tree. If they're not, it must be Rafa's fault. Right?
If we're being truthful here, Benitez must take some blame for what's been happening on the pitch recently, but the real reason we're in such a bad position at the moment is down to two people: Liverpool's owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks. Though to call them "owners" grants them more dignity than they deserve.
When they bought our club off long-time chairman David Moores, Hicks and Gilette promised that they would use their own money for the purchase.
They lied.
Instead they took control of Liverpool FC with a £350m Royal Bank of Scotland loan. The profits the club makes, thanks largely to Benitez's careful management, are ploughed back to pay off the interest on that loan. Want new players, Rafa? Sorry, you can only spend what you earn through the sales of others.
And it's not just in the purchase of players that the Americans have been sadly wanting.
Three years ago, all the talk was of "new Anfield", the 70,000-capacity stadium that would see Liverpool bring in the sort of gate receipts that Manchester United and Arsenal do every week. George Gillett promised that within 60 days of them taking over, there'd be "a spade in the ground" at Stanley Park, site of the new ground.
We're still waiting.
The truth of the matter is that Liverpool are skint. Without Torres and Gerrard, Liverpool have no-one, bar Benayoun who can put the ball in the net with any regularity. The fact that Liverpool couldn't afford to get rid of someone as woefully inept as Andriy Voronin during the summer shows just how paper-thin our squad is.
And it's not just me pointing this out. Daniel Finkelstein's "Finktank" in The Timesforensically analyses the form of every Premier League club. His view on Liverpool is eye-opening.
[Last year] Liverpool exceeded our expectations for a team of their quality. And it is not surprising at all that they have dropped back off again this season. Their start to this season is more what we would expect of them.
So what is behind it? Three things seem worth mentioning. First, they have stayed steady in quality but have changed with their defence getting weaker and their attack getting stronger. They are letting in a large proportion of the shots on goal. They need to put this right.
Second, Xabi Alonso was, next only to Steven Gerrard, their best player. It was a disaster to lose him to Real Madrid. But most importantly – the money. Our figures show that Benítez outperforms the wage bill. Blame the Americans. Not Rafa.
So for Liverpool supporters, it has to be a case of holding tight and sitting out this storm. Calling for Benitez's head does no-one any favours – and there isn't a decent manager out there who'd come to Liverpool at the moment anyway, not with those two clowns at the helm. As mentioned earlier, the Spaniard should not be immune to criticism, but a real examination of what Rafa can do for the club should wait until Hicks and Gillett have been packed off back to the States.
And Reds fans reading this: remember, we are not Newcastle or England, clamouring for our manager's head just because it's not going exactly the way we like it. We are different. We support our team, and especially our manager, through thick and thin.
As our motto goes: we are not English, we are Scouse.
It's about time a few more people started to behave like it.
Rafa: the man they love to hate

Let's get this straight: Rafa Benitez makes some seemingly odd decisions.

Naloxone Stocks: Who's Really Winning the Battle Against the Opioid Epidemic?Henry Truc Follow |

Despite wider recognition in recent years of the pervasive opioid epidemic spreading throughout the US, death rates from prescription drug overdoses have continued to skyrocket. Deaths from heroin and opioid painkiller overdoses have more than quadrupled since the start of the millennium and have now surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of accidental deaths in the country. But while admission of a problem is the first step to recovery, identifying and eventually addressing the numerous factors that led to this point will still take years, if not decades, to repair.
Until then, over 125 people are dying each day on average from drug overdoses—well over half of which are from heroin or prescription painkillers like hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin, Percocet), morphine (e.g., Kadian, Avinza), codeine, and related drugs. It's a frightening statistic, and government and health officials around the country have been desperate for something to help them get a handle on the spiraling epidemic. That's a primary reason for the exploding interest in Naloxone, a life-saving drug that counters opioid effects, including reversing overdoses.
On Monday, Walgreens (WBA) announced that it is making Naloxone, a medication that counters opioid overdose, available in more than 110 of its pharmacies in Alabama without a prescription. The rollout is part of Walgreens' nationwide plan announced in February to make Naloxone available without a prescription in 35 states and Washington DC. Thus far, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and now Alabama have expanded access to the medication. The program is expected to expand Naloxone availability to 5,800 of Walgreens' 8,500 locations in the US. CVS (CVS) is also rolling out the drug in 14 states as well.
Pennsylvania, meanwhile, also made news recently when health officials introduced a plan to make Naloxone available at all of its high schools. Drug overdoses accounted for 2,000 deaths in the state last year.
The Race to Make Naloxone a Household Drug
Approved by the FDA in 1971, Naloxone is a generic drug that has actually been around for decades. It was used primarily in hospitals and by paramedics, but in recent years, higher demand for first responders and police officers to have the medication kits on hand has driven up the price of the drug from only $1 as recently as a decade ago to over $40 today. While the drug has been increasingly heralded by government and health officials as a biotech wonder drug and critical weapon against the growing epidemic in recent years, the outcry over aggressive price hikes has also been getting louder.
Now, with Naloxone becoming readily available over the counter across the US, demand is only going to increase, especially if consumers are being told they need to keep the medication handy in case of an emergency situation, however improbable that may be.
In November 2015, Adapt Pharma Ltd.'s NARCAN Nasal Spray formulation was approved by the FDA, opening the naloxone market up to the OTC market. The NARCAN Nasal Spray is based on the intranasal opioid antagonist platform technology of Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OPNT)—which changed its name in February from Lightlake Therapeutics. In March, Opiant received a $2.5 million milestone payment from Adapt following the first commercial sale of the NARCAN Nasal Spray. Under the licensing deal, which was signed in December 2014, Opiant could receive total potential milestone payments of more than $55 million, and up to double-digit percentage royalties on net sales.
Suddenly, a Rapidly Crowding Market
But Adapt isn't the only game in town. Hospira (a subsidiary of Pfizer [PFE]) and Amphastar Pharmaceuticals (AMPH) have been the leading providers of injectable naloxone for years, and the principle drivers of the price hikes.
Amphastar has also been selling an intranasal application, which administers its injectable formulation with an atomizer, for some time now. The company has also said it's working on a naloxone nasal spray. In 2015, naloxone sales accounted for $38.6 million of the company's $251.5 million in annual revenue, but was its fastest-growing segment with increased volume and higher average prices.
Another competitor, Kaleo Pharmaceuticals, is selling a naloxone auto-injector called Evzio at a considerably higher price of about $700-$800 per dose. Biotech giant Mylan (MYL) also sells a naloxone injectable formulation after obtaining FDA approval in 2014. Embattled INSYS Therapeutics (INSY)—which has seen its stock price collapse in the past year as a result of backlash to its opioid-based painkiller Subsys Fentanyl—also got its naloxone candidate designated on the fast track by the FDA.
More Price Hikes to Come?
For all the life-saving benefits of naloxone, it's important to remember that, at best, it's just a stop-gap solution to treat a symptom—albeit an incredibly significant one—rather than a cure for a condition. Critics of wider naloxone availability point to the possibility that expanded access creates a moral hazard and doesn't address the crux of the problem—which is the actual opioid addiction. But again, that is a systemic problem that will take years, if not decades, to resolve.
In the meantime, pharma companies know they have yet another life-saving drug in their pipeline and the means to leverage it for more dollars from willing buyers. But one of the key advantages that companies like Hospira and Amphastar had a few years ago was that they owned an essential monopoly on the naloxone market—largely due to competitors leaving the space over time and thus reducing price competition. But as the field continues to get more crowded over time again, the window to maximize profits could be beginning to close. It's just a matter of supply and demand at this point.

I finished the first draft this weekend. Saturday, as a matter of fact. And while I've known for the past week or so whodunit and why, I was surprised by some of the other things that happened. I think that's a good thing. Of course, I have to go back and add a LOT of stuff, because I'm still 10,000 words short, but I have lots of notes on things that need to be incorporated. I'm not sure it'll amount to 10,000, but at least I don't feel the panic I did for the first two books in the series.
I like the book. And what's even better, I was able to make some adjustments thanks to reader input. Not plot points, but I know what they like and what they don't like. I know who they like and who they don't like. (Some people want me to dump Angelica! Sorry, not gonna happen.)
I'm going to let it sit for a a couple of days because I'll be reading ROTTEN TO THE CORE, the second book in the Apple Orchard series by Sheila Connolly before she turns it in to her editor. I've read an earlier draft and this is the final. I'm looking forward to it, because this is a wonderful series. (The first one, One Bad Apple, came out last month, and it's doing really well.)
So that's the shop talk for today.

JHS Lucky Cat Delay Pink
Back in 2007, JHS released their first delay pedal, released in very small numbers, the Pink Panther became a bit of a cult classic. Now they have taken this pedal and rebuilt it from the ground up to create a super delicious and highly versatile delay pedal. At the request of MGM Film Studios, the name Pink Panther is now off limits so the new and improved pedals goes by the name of the Lucky Cat!
With a small footprint, a simple user interface and loads of really cool features, the Lucky Cat is a comprehensive solution to all your delays needs. With controls for Time, Mix, Ratio, Repeats, Darken and a modulation toggle, you have complete control over your sound.
Time is a manual control for the length of the repeats up to 1000ms. Mix controls the volume of the repeats, from fully clean signal to fully wet. Ratio controls the subdivision of the tap tempo with options of quarter note, dotted eighth note, eighth note, and triplets. Repeats controls the amount of repeats you will hear, from one repeat to infinite.
On the left side of the Lucky Cat, you'll find a dip switch for Vintage Tape/Digital Clean tones. In Vintage Tape mode, you'll find a more compressed slightly driven echo like vintage tape delays. In Digital Clean mode the echo is crisp and clean for those pristine and chirpy delay sounds. On the right side of the pedal, you'll also find an external tap jack so you can control the tempo of your delay with an external tap pedal.
This is a great pedalboard friendly delay, its flexible and very user friendly, available if Pink and Black, this is going to be a really popular pedal!
- Effect Type: Delay
- PSU requirements: 9v
- Analogue/Digital: Analogue

In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to her and explained, we didn't have the "green thing" back in my day.
That's right, they didn't have the "green thing" in her day.
Back then, they returned their milk bottles, Coke bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, using the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.
But they didn't have the "green thing" back in her day.
In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two blocks.
But she's right. They didn't have the "green thing" in her day.
Back then, they washed the baby's diapers because they didn't have the throw-away kind? They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.?
But that old lady is right, they didn't have the "green thing" back in her day.
Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a pizza dish, not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because they didn't have electric machines to do everything for you. When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used wadded up newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, they didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by working so they didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she's right, they didn't have the "green thing" back then.
They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty, instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They refilled pens with ink, instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
But they didn't have the "green thing" back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar and kids rode their bikes to school or rode the school bus instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.
But that old lady is right. They didn't have the "green thing" back in her day. Gee!!! That was MY day too!
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then? Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart ass young person.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much
to piss us off....
especially from a tattooed, multiple pierced
smart ass who can't make
change without the cash register telling
them how much.
The following story is attributed to either John McCain or Ronald Reagan; Snopes doesn't know which one:
A self-important college freshman attending a football game took it upon himself to explain to John McCain (Ronald Reagan?) sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation. "You grew up in a different world, actually a primitive one," the student said. "The young people of today grew up with TV, jet planes, space travel & a man walking on the moon. Our space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric & hydrogen cars, cell phones, computers with light speed processing & more."
After a brief silence, McCain (Reagan?) said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things, so we invented them. What are you doing for the next generation?"
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids, no seat belts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are, still here we are
We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside, playin' outside
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
School always started the same every day
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right, we turned out all right
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
No bottled water, we drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday, all the stores were closed
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
It was a different world
Lots of old fashioned cartoons today!!
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for----fishducky

Steve Irwin's daughter Bindi is planning to walk down the aisle with a koala on her wedding day.
The 21-year-old – whose zookeeper and conservationist dad died from a stingray injury to the heart in 2006 – is set to marry her boyfriend of four years, Chandler Powell, at Australia Zoo.
Powell told Good Morning America: "We're so excited. It's where we met and where we got engaged so it only makes sense that we'd have it at Australia Zoo.
"See, I think this wedding is going to be unique because it's going to be at the zoo with tons of animals."
Bindi agreed, adding: "I'm not sure how many people have walked down the aisle with a koala, but we may be setting some new trends for weddings from here on out."
Read more: Bindi Irwin: Dad would have wanted my brother to walk me down the aisle
She also revealed: "I chose the dress yesterday and it was amazing. Funnily enough I have everything else planned – but I left my dress to the last minute. It's really special and I love it so much because it mimics my mom's beautiful dress, so I kind of paid tribute to her beautiful wedding dress and I'm thrilled."
Bindi's 15-year-old brother Robert, who has followed in his late father's Crocodile Hunter footsteps by performing with animals at the zoo, will also be walking his sister down the aisle.
Steve, who was just 44 when he died, married American-born conservationist Terri in 1992 and they worked together on TV shows up until his death.
Read more: How Bindi and Robert cope with the loss of their dad
American wakeboarding champion Powell, 22, met Bindi in 2013 when he visited Australia Zoo while on holiday with his family. They officially began dating in July 2015, after Powell contacted Terri Irwin and asked if he could take her daughter out. Last year he moved to Australia, where he works at the zoo and features in the Irwins' reality show Crikey! It's The Irwins.
He said: "How lucky I am, I get the most beautiful girl in the world. I'm marrying into the most wonderful family."
Powell popped the question at the zoo in July, and the couple have revealed the new series of the show will see them release a koala back into the wild to commemorate their engagement.
Long-time family friend Russell Crowe is expected to be a guest at the wedding. The Gladiator star gave Bindi a $25,000 Rolex watch as an engagement present that he believed her dad "would have wanted" her to have.

Reevaluate your relationship with mistakes.
~Melanie Rothschild in The Art of Mistakes
All of us experience disappointment, and perhaps frustration, when we make a mistake. We may become discouraged and think that the mistake points out that we aren't smart enough or talented enough—that we just don't have what it takes.
Not true! So stop that stinkin' thinkin' right now!
Here's a short list of "mistakes" that bring enjoyment and fun into our lives:
Silly Putty
During World War II, scientist at GE were trying to come up with a replacement for rubber, since there were shortages. It didn't really work for what they wanted so it was shelved. It wasn't until after the war that a marketing consultant to a toy store owner saw the potential and packaged it in eggs and named it Silly Putty.
Again during WWII, an engineer in the Navy noticed how torsion springs bounced and wiggled when they dropped to the floor. He took the spring home and showed his wife who saw the potential of it. The sales of the toy took off in 1945 when it was demonstrated at Christmastime at Gimbel's department store.
Potato Chips
In Saratoga Springs in 1853, a chef was exasperated by a customer who kept sending back his plate of fried potatoes saying they weren't crispy enough. Finally, the chef cut the potatoes as thin as he could and fried them until they were crisp and curly. He then put salt on them and sent them out to the customer. The customer was thrilled and the chips became a big hit.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
In 1930, an inn owner ran out of baker's chocolate to make cookies with to serve to her customers. She substituted semi-sweet chocolate that she cut into chunks, thinking the chunks would melt. They didn't. But the resulting cookies were a triumph!
Legend has it that a cook in China was experimenting in the kitchen with ingredients that were commonly at hand back then. His new recipe, instead of being a tasty treat, exploded in a spectacular display!
Mistakes are trying to show you something—to gift you with a gem. Take the time to look for it!
Your homework is to look at your mistakes from a different point of view. Instead of berating yourself and feeling discouraged, analyze the "mistake" and figure out what's good and helpful about it, how it can be used in another way, and how it can help you move forward.
You never know, you might invent something that changes the world!
You can do it!
I'm proud of you!
Your Friend and Pep Pal,
PS For extra credit, do your own Internet search for inventions that started out as mistakes. Make a list and keep it handy for inspiration the next time you make a "mistake"
